The Raptors started five: Maddy, Christie, Carter, Detreve, O'Neal Jr. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yang Rui wants to win by surprise, allowing Maddy or Christie to single out Charlie Ward by virtue of his height advantage, and he can shoot directly from the basket. All five people can be shot, and positional battles can open up space to a greater extent.

When defending, Maddie switches to block and distract, making it easier to interfere with Ewing, and Carter can be easier on the defensive end.

Yang Rui has already spoken to Maddie and will give him more playing time, definitely more than 35 minutes.

The Knicks lineup is the same as the first two games. Ward, Houston, Bowen, Oakley, Ewing.

Two offensive points, three people defending, this formation has caused the Raptors a headache before. Oakley still has a strong defensive ability, and once he is close to him, the Raptors players will be in pain.

Johnson joined Sprewell to secure points off the bench.

O'Neal Jr. jumped the ball and the game began.

Maddy holds the ball in the middle, and the defender is Houston, and Carter and Detreve pull away from the side.

Maddie made a dry pull-up jumper in the middle, Houston couldn't cover it, missed it with a slight interference, and the rebound was grabbed by Ewing.

Yang Rui asked Maddie to start just that, when he pulls out, the shooting percentage basically does not depend on the strength of the defense, it only depends on his feel, and the outside line will definitely not be able to block him.

This season, Yang Rui has been letting Maddie practice shooting in the middle, and he has a certain degree of certainty about this. The Knicks' defense is very good, and when they can't play together, they need this unreasonable offensive style.

The Knicks attacked, Bowen handed it over to Carter to deal with, and Maddie set his sights on Houston. Ward organized in the middle and passed to Houston from close range, attracting Detreve to switch defenses, and Houston passed to Ewing.

Maddie switched to Ewing and followed closely on the left side, Ewing turned and made a jumper, but he also missed the interference.

In Yang Rui's previous life, even if it was often said that Maddie didn't work hard defensively, he also limited Nowitzki very well against the Mavericks. He's the size of a big man who shoots defensively.

Ewing weighs 109 kilograms, and his strength can't get into the basket, so he relies almost entirely on jump shots. He was inefficient, averaging 17.8 points, 10 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game while shooting just 46.3 percent from the field, and even worse in the playoffs at 44.5 percent.

Both sides attach importance to defense, both are heads-up, set the tone of the game, the first four games to figure out the coordination routine, this time to fight for the star.

An important criterion for testing whether a star is a superstar is "heads-up", and this has not changed in the future. When the opponent defends well and rotates well, heads-up can be the best way to win.

Curry won the regular season MVP for a second consecutive year, but he didn't get much recognition from fans, and an important reason is that his heads-up ability is not top-notch. When the playoffs intensified and players worked harder defensively, Curry's efficiency dropped dramatically each time compared to the regular season.

And James, Kobe Bryant and others have similar playoff efficiency as the regular season and can help the team more.

In the first five minutes, the Raptors played well and led 13-6.

Van Gundy added an attacking point by replacing Sprewell and Ward. This is an important routine change for the Knicks in preparation for playing double guard in the second quarter.

The Knicks changed to Oakley's side cover, Sprewell and Ewing played blocking and dismantling in the middle, impacting the basket, and O'Neal Jr. had an increased task and had to block the breakthrough.

"Madman" shot very resolutely, O'Neal Jr. was lured away, Oakley cut and rushed to grab the rebound in the frontcourt, and scored 4 points in the second attack.

Detreve was born as a small forward, with a height of 206CM and a weight of only 97 kg.

This season, Detreve has a 40.5% three-point shooting rate, an average of 0.8 three-pointers per game, a long range, and a strong ability to evacuate.

The Raptors led 25-20 in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, both teams sent double guards, Billups and Di Brown attacked, Ward and Childs defended, and the front line was just the opposite, the Raptors played Bowen and O'Neal Jr., who were good at defense, and the Knicks Sprewell continued to play, and Johnson ensured offense together.

The Raptors met the Knicks Iron Bucket Formation, the outside shooting rate was not high, and the Knicks only had two attackers, and it was also difficult to score, and the score continued to be deadlocked.

In the third quarter, the Knicks players suddenly came out of force in the cheers of the home fans, and Sprewell shot four three-pointers in a single quarter, three of which were aimed at Christie's defense.

Once the star is convulsed, the defensive expert doesn't help.

Yang Rui is afraid of Spreville convulsions, this guy doesn't have a high average score, but he often has a single game of horror. In his previous life, in 2003, Sprewell hit nine consecutive three-pointers against the Los Angeles Clippers, setting an NBA record for the number of consecutive three-pointers hit in a single game.

Switching to Maddy's main defense, interfering with the shot, forcing Sprewell to pass the ball only interrupted his touch.

65-81, the Raptors trailed by 16 points heading into the fourth quarter.

Fortunately, the Raptors also have people who can convuls, and Di Brown suddenly went crazy and shot three three-pointers in 4 minutes off the bench to help the team catch up with the score.

Billups was in a mess of form, shooting 0-of-7 from the field, and DeBrown played the role that a veteran should have.

The Knicks veterans continued to play, the rhythm was very slow, the running tactics of one board and one eye, and on the premise of ensuring defense, the offensive end opened up a single game relying on stars.

The Raptors rely on running and bombing, and the guards advance to the front court as soon as possible, who has the opportunity to shoot, and quickly return to the defense after shooting to ensure defense.

In the last few minutes, the veterans led by Ewing had physical problems, and they were all supported by perseverance. Ewing and Johnson ran in a race with the young men.

In order to strengthen the offense, Houston and Sprewell partnered on the outside, and the Knicks' four scoring points were all on the court, leaving only Bowen to attract the defense in the bottom corner and wait for opportunities.

In the last minute and a half, Carter and O'Neal Jr. blocked and dismantled in the middle, and scored a layup past Ewing; In the next round, he attracted the ball in the middle of the pack, and O'Neal Jr. scored with a mid-range shot.

The Knicks missed three rounds. In the final 16 seconds, the two sides were tied at 88, and the Raptors controlled the ball.

Yang Rui handed over the key ball to Carter and arranged tactics for him, and the veteran Willis came on the court to cover. In Yang Rui's previous life, Carter shot 31 key shots, with a higher shooting rate than Kobe, and was a well-known master.

But now Carter is a rookie and not as experienced.

He caught the ball and shook out of space, and when he had a good opportunity to shoot, he forgot to press the time, not only missed the long-range shot, but also left the Knicks 4.1 seconds to attack, and the advantage suddenly went to the Knicks' side.

If he presses to the last second, even if the shot does not go into overtime, relying on the physical advantage, the Raptors have a good chance of winning.

After the timeout, Yang Rui emphasized the need to guard against Sprewell and Houston, and the defense in the final round still went wrong.

Houston feigned a jumper to trick Maddie's jump, then broke through to the basket and completed the kill with a throw that he was not good at. 88 to 90.

Houston ran out of time after the bogus and had to shoot this way. Yang Rui instantly remembered the Knicks' first-round Black Eight Heat in his previous life, and Houston also threw a lore, as if he was destined to score such a goal in his life.

Victory or defeat is not only based on strength, but also on luck.

Fortunately, the second round was a best-of-seven system, and Houston couldn't send the opponent home yet, and the Raptors still had a chance to turn the tables.
