Chapter 291 [Back to the top of the list, fierce competition]
After the star game, Yang Rui returned to Toronto and continued to lead the team to play. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At the trade deadline, the Raptors didn't get a great point guard. The chips they can come up with are veterans Kevin Willis and Ryan Bowen, which are unattractive to other teams.
The only value is Willis's expiring contract in the summer, and this alone can't be exchanged for a strongman, and it is better to reuse John Crotty, who can shoot three-pointers.
Yang Rui accepted this result calmly, he looked at all the free agent rosters in the summer, and the best point guard was probably Mark Jackson, who passed the ball well, shot averagely, defended mediocrely, and the signing didn't help.
There are also teams that want to trade with the Raptors, and the Warriors are willing to send their starting guard Bob Soura.
Rockets fans will not be unfamiliar with this name, because this person is famous for two things, one is to cheat three doubles, and the other is unwilling to pass the ball to Yao Ming.
Sura played decently, with no major flaws or outstanding highlights. The Warriors wanted to trade him because he was poached from the Cavaliers in the summer on a four-year mid-level contract that didn't expire until 2004 and had a salary of $6.27 million in the final year, but Sulla's performance was not worth the price.
Surely the Raptors wouldn't trade for a backup guard who is as much paid as O'Neal Jr., isn't that a joke?
The 76ers were luckier than the Raptors, who also injured a big man, Theo Ratliff, and successfully completed a big trade with the Hawks after the All-Star break, strengthening the interior line.
The 76ers got super defensive player Mutombo, seriously injured forward Roshawn McRiod, and sent Ratliff, Tony Kukoc, Nazr Mohammed, Pepe Sanchez.
The deal was a win-win, the Hawks were ready to swing and didn't need Mutombo to defend; The 76ers have ensured the depth of the roster and continue to aim for a championship.
At the same time, the 76ers will help Iverson compete for MVP. This is the best opportunity of Iverson's life, and if the team's record drops in the second half of the season, he will definitely miss out on the MVP.
After seeing the news of Mutombo joining the 76ers, O'Neal was very depressed and a little grumpy in the locker room. Although Iverson is much less efficient than O'Neal, he has a bonus to his height and has a clear advantage.
O'Neal will come back in the next game, and when he has the opportunity, he will score a dunk under the basket, and vent in this way to prove his dominance.
O'Neal's increase in shots also affected Kobe, Jackson knew that someone had to change, so he often did ideological work for Kobe, after all, O'Neal is the boss and the axis of the team, and Kobe is just the younger brother.
Bryant was forced to cut back on his shots and defend the opponent's strongest outside attack point every game. Among the four Jordan successors in the league, Kobe Bryant is the worst, and the other three can be said to be the big leaders of the team, and he is the second.
Even if Billups is reimbursed for the season, the Raptors' winning rate is still very high, and Yang Rui began to show his ability and arrange the most suitable tactics.
With Brad Miller in place, the team doesn't need a point guard organization to keep the ball moving. Carter and O'Neal Jr. attacked strongly, and Reid and Crotty started to attract defense on the perimeter, catching the ball and shooting three-pointers.
Substitute lineup Boykins partnered with Mark Jackson, relying on blocking and dismantling offense to ensure offensive firepower, as long as the opponent's guard and center are not fast enough, it is difficult to defend.
Against Boykins and Iverson, the defender must actively pursue the defense, and the interior change can only interfere a little, and the main defense will definitely be passed.
Mario Elie, Dale Curry, and Jumaine Jones on the perimeter sent two from beyond the three-point line to wait for opportunities, and Halprin could also play alone with the ball.
The team's fringe players are still Jerome James and Ryan Bowen, and the only weakness of the Raptors is that Crotty is far inferior to Loops, with poor offense and defense.
The Raptors lost just three games in February, and Carter was named the best player in the East with solid stats.
In mid-March, the movie "Resident Evil" started filming, and it went very well, this is really a very simple movie, it is a story that takes place in a small space, and the outdoor plot is to shoot some shots and edit it. The trouble is that the zombies make up makeup, which is played by real people.
Just because of the simplicity, Yang Rui didn't consider the magic change, most of the plot refers to the "Resident Evil" movie in his memory, and some of the faults picked by Matthew Vaughn are fighting and escape, how to increase the sense of urgency, and the main line remains the same.
Stana Kartick was a bit nervous about the pre-shooting, which was just right for the character, as she had amnesia and no weapon in hand. Following the mercenary squad, she occasionally frowned and panicked, which showed the state of the protagonist very well.
Therefore, she, a rookie newcomer, not only did not make mistakes on the set, but was often praised by the director.
Yang Rui received a lot of studio photos at home, Stanner's appearance in a red dress is really amazing, she is only 23 years old, she is at the peak of her appearance, young and beautiful, and there is no pressure to play this series until she is in her 30s.
The original starring Milla Jovovich was not picky about her appearance in the first two films, and her figure was fine, but she did not recover well after giving birth to a child and became stout. Li Bingbing, who is 166CM in the fifth episode, stood beside Mira, not only a circle smaller, but also a bird.
Stana has the advantage that after the age of 30, she maintains her figure much better than Mira.
Because she wears custom black leather boots with an inner height, her legs are longer and a bit outrageously long, so Wonder Woman Gal Gadot can compete with her in the future.
Stana is very happy to shoot, chatting with Yang Rui through the Minions every day, even if this film can't make her popular, it will definitely be familiar, and countless fans will remember her name.
In March, the Raptors lost five games and had a total 51-20 record, which was not as good as the February record, but they returned to the top of the league. The 76ers fared even worse, finishing second in the East with a 50-22 record.
Iverson was plagued by injuries after the All-Star break, missing seven games and winning just two. Iverson missed a total of 11 games this season, and the 76ers went 4-7, which shows how important he is to the team.
In the West, the Lakers are ranked second in the West with 48 wins and 25 losses, and their record is still behind the 76ers, and O'Neal has missed 8 games, less than Iverson, which makes him see the hope of competing for MVP again.
Carter missed 8 games before, and the statistics were poor, so it was difficult to win the MVP, and it didn't matter if the Raptors had a good record, O'Neal was more worried about Tim Duncan.
At present, the Spurs have a record of 51 wins and 21 losses, ranking first in the West, Duncan has been very healthy, maintaining full attendance, averaging 38.7 minutes per game, 22.2 points, 12.2 rebounds, 3 assists, 0.9 steals and 2.3 blocks, and is the core on both offensive and defensive ends.
Yang Rui also felt that the league intended to praise Iverson, no matter looking at the data, efficiency, record, and attendance, Iverson was not as good as Duncan, and finally winning the MVP violated the selection criteria.
You know, Duncan almost completely confronted the team's victory and defeat on his own shoulders, and this season David Robinson's form has dropped significantly, and the twin towers have become a single core. Tony Parker and Ginobili have not yet arrived at the Spurs, and the Spurs' three leaders are only Derrick Anderson, a role player for the Cavaliers.
Yang Rui no longer cared about the record and began to rotate like the Spurs. He allowed his players to work more together, reduce individual offense, and limit the playing time of the core.
In April, the Raptors aim to be injury-free and adjust their players for the playoffs.
