The Pacers made a substitution after a timeout, with Al Harrington coming on to replace veteran Sam Perkins. Pen Fun Cabinet www.biquge.info Crohill stepped on to the No. 4 position to deal with O'Neal Jr., and the task of defending Carter was handed over to Harrington.

Thomas's substitution is targeted, Harrington can play small forward, power forward, center three positions, physical fitness. In Yang Rui's previous life, Harrington's tactical role was outstanding, and he played very well in the series of the Warriors Black Eight Mavericks.

Yang Rui thought about replacing Harrington with the Raptors in the summer and cultivating him as a three-point power forward. He has a lot of potential, and the combination with Tony Allen is at the level of Michael Jordan, but it's about looks......

The Raptors didn't make any substitutions, Brad Miller pulled out the three-point line, Reed drew the defense in the bottom corner on the right side, Carter ran to catch the ball and continued to attack, and the three formed a triangle on the right side.

Harrington defended, Carter held the ball on the perimeter and singled, Reggie Miller defended, and Carter went to the low post to ask for his back.

Harrington's anti-Carter is also difficult, with a height of 206cm and a weight of 104 kilograms, he is not fast enough to move laterally. Rose is out and the Pacers don't have an orthodox small forward.

At the 7-minute mark, Carter turned around Reggie Miller and scored with a right hand to "look back at the moon".

His face was expressionless, his arms were close to his body, his forearms were outstretched, his hands were also outstretched, his stomach was erect, and he swayed back like a duck walking.

This duck-like way of celebrating is more stimulating than trash talk. Reggie Miller just can't stop him one-on-one, and it was obvious in the last playoffs.

Equally depressed was Camby, who was uncomfortable with both O'Neal Jr. and Brad Miller, and he couldn't stay under the basket as soon as the two pulled out. If you retract to the basket to help defend Carter, the two big men will shoot when they catch the ball.

Reed had no one to help cover, and no one dared to let go of the bottom corner, and the Raptors' triangle offense couldn't be contained.

Crohill wrapped it once, Carter split the ball, and O'Neal Jr. shot from a 45-degree open position on the left side and hit it steadily.

Brad Miller was replaced in the 8th minute, and Yang Rui sent Jumaine Jones to play the No. 4 position, which can open up space and not become a hole on the defensive end, Harrington is not a power inside, and the scoring mainly relies on jump shots. The height advantage of 3CM does not allow him to bargain on Zhu Meiin.

The other four played the full quarter, and Reed fought back late on a three-point shot past backup power forward Derrick McKay. He shot 4-of-5 from beyond the three-point line in the single quarter, finishing with 12 points and 1 rebound.

Carter shot 7-of-10, 1-of-2 from three-point range and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line, finishing with 17 points, one rebound and four assists.

O'Neal Jr. shot 4-of-5 from the field and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line to finish with 10 points and three rebounds.

Billups hit a 3-pointer and Miller hit a mid-range shot to give the Raptors a 44-17 lead and blow up the first quarter.

Camby has disappointed the Pacers management again, his scoring ability is too poor, he can open up on the perimeter, and he has no advantage in attacking in the low post. HE IS 211CM TALL AND WEIGHS ONLY 100 KILOGRAMS, AND HIS ONLY ADVANTAGE IS MOBILITY, BUT THIS IS USELESS, AND HE IS FULLY SUPPRESSED BY THE EQUALLY NIMBLE LITTLE O'NEILL ONE-ON-ONE.

Mike Brin commented: "Marcus Camby was the star of the '96 Golden Generation and was one of the worst high-picks. He won the block title with the Raptors in his second season, and when he was traded in '98, no one thought O'Neal Jr. could compare to him, and now it's the opposite. ”

Walter Fraser laughed: "O'Neal Jr. is like a star on the Dream Team, and Camby has to work hard to get the next big contract, and the gap is just too big. ”

"Fans are advised to keep an eye on Reid, who could well be the next star Jerry Young develops," Brin said. ”

In the second quarter, Yang Rui sent a substitute. Boykins, Mario Elie, Matt Halprin, Jumaine Jones, Mark Jackson.

After seeing the blocking power of Boykins and Jackson in the preseason, Yang Rui made Curry, who has poor defense and is not good at organizing with the ball, a fringe man, and Jerome James still sitting on the bench.

Although the Raptors are missing an All-Star, the depth of the roster is still there, and none of the 12 players on the roster are redundant. John Crotty and Ryan Bowen will have to wait for a chance to rotate.

Veteran Kevin Willis is not on the squad, Yang Rui believes that the opening game will be easy to win, and wants to train the newcomers, Willis is currently in retirement with the Raptors.

Mario and Jumaine pulled away, and the Pacers were still not good at covering after the pick-and-roll.

On the defensive end, except for Jackson, who is a meat shield center, the Raptors all four mainly interfere with outside shots and strictly prevent breakthroughs, except for Boykins, who has no obvious weaknesses.

PACERS BACKUP GUARD TEYUS EDNEY IS ALSO ONLY 178CM TALL AND WEIGHS 70 KILOGRAMS.

The other four of the Pacers weren't attacking much either, and Jonathan Bender was the Pacers' most disappointing player, failing to play at his price as a rookie with the fifth overall pick in '99.

When the Pacers traded him away from the Nets last season, management fantasized about him becoming an All-Star, but he fell behind with Mark Jackson and looked a little weak.

"When he first arrived at the Pacers, Jonathan showed amazing athleticism. He can dominate the basket, can make threes to Larry Bird and Reggie Miller, has the height of a center and the agility of a guard, and he is seen as the next Kevin Garnett. It's a pity that he began to fear confrontation after suffering an injury, and today he is too soft. ”

"He also has chronic knee pain, but even if he's healthy, he's not a good fit for Jackson, who weighs 20 kilograms bigger than him," Fraser said. The Raptors made a successful signing, and Jackson was a great performer in the preseason, making veteran Willis a fringe player. ”

Jonathan played 4 minutes before being replaced by blue-collar veteran Zahn Tabak, and it was still difficult to defend against Boykins and Jackson's pick-and-rolls. The Pacers hoarded a bunch of big men and had no choice but to defend holes on the outside.

The point difference continued to widen, and Thomas had no choice, so he waited for the official timeout to make adjustments, and Miller and Crohill came back to strengthen the attack. Yang Rui also changed back to the big four, and only Halprin continued to play, easily curbing the Pacers' counterattack momentum.

Thomas asked Crohill and Harrington to guard Carter closely, and Camby was not bad at maneuvering on the inside. Carter began to pass the ball unselfishly, and Halplin cut to the basket on the right side.

Reggie Miller was unlucky, he couldn't defend Carter's strong hits, so he handed it over to his teammates to defend, but Halplin was stronger than Carter.

HARPRIN IS 201CM TALL AND 105 KILOGRAMS WHEN HE REACHES THE SIDE OF THE RAPTORS, AND HE DEFINITELY WON'T BE MUCH LIGHTER NOW. His background as a rugby player makes him tough and physically tough. He held the ball and rushed inside as if he was about to break through all blockades and score a touchdown, how could Miller withstand it?

Halprin scored two goals in a row, including a one-handed dunk, and Miller saw that his team had no resistance, and the anger grew growing and the defense was broken with small movements.

When Harprin broke through with the ball, Reggie Miller deliberately stretched his leg to trip people, and Harprin stumbled and fell to the ground.

Fortunately, after Harprin experienced a serious injury last year, his sense of personal protection became stronger, and he immediately threw the basketball player to support the ground and cushioned, and there was no injury, the referee whistled to block the foul, and the home fans booed.

After getting up, Halprin glared at Miller angrily, separated by the players of both sides, and Yang Rui called a timeout.
