Chapter 132 [The Role of the Little People]
The applause given to Yang Rui by the fans was harsh to Van Gundy, as if everyone was scolding him. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In fact, there are indeed many fans who scold Van Gundy.
In the audience, there were Chinese fans holding signs with the slogan "Van Gundy is out of class" and shouting excitedly, which became a beautiful scenery and added extraordinary colors to this national live broadcast game.
The angry expression of the Chinese fan was indescribable, and he seemed to kneel on the ground at any time, beating gongs and drums to make a powerful rap - "From now on, Van Gundy's photos will be by my side, and I will always remember this hatred!" ”
In the face of the defective fans, Van Gundy stood, with a stubborn posture and a expressionless face.
This is the so-called "coach's psychological quality adjustment", whether you have confidence or not, don't let people see the weak side, no matter how depressed Van Gundy's heart is.
When he saw the Raptors lineup, he was instantly depressed.
Did Detreve go to South Korea for plastic surgery? Why has the appearance changed so much?
What the hell is number 40? Is sending this guy to look down on the Knicks?
CCTV5 also broadcast the game live, and Zhang Li was surprised: "The starting power forward sent by the Raptors is actually Ryan Bowen, one of the 47 rookies selected by the Raptors in the second round, who has not been in the squad before." Willis and Detreve are on the sidelines, and no one is on the injury list. ”
Sun Zhengping analyzed: "Maybe Yang Rui wants to give up this game and ensure that the core players are physically ready to fight for the next game?" He said in an interview that the team has no goals this season. ”
Zhang Li Khan said: "I think he may be trying to win by surprise." ”
Raptors starters: Billups, Christie, Carter, Bowen, O'Neal Jr.
Knicks starters: Charlie Ward, Houston, Sprewell, Larry Johnson, Ewing.
Yang Rui's employment aroused everyone's interest, and many of the audience did not know Bai Baowen's name.
O'Neal Jr. beat Ewing with his explosive jump ball, and Christie slowly dribbled the ball across half court and passed to Carter, who ran away.
O'Neal Jr. blocked and dismantled in the middle, Carter took the ball to get rid of the right side, Ewing changed defense, Carter moved horizontally, and a one-step stop-and-go jump shot inside the three-point line, and the ball deflected out of the basket.
This is the shooting distance that Yang Rui asked the players to try their best to avoid, but no matter what you say, there will be people who make this mistake, and the habits they developed when they go to school cannot be changed all at once.
Bai Bowen didn't grab the rebound in the front court at all, quickly returned to defense, followed Ewing, and marked people.
The home fans were excited, O'Neal Jr. was actually against Johnson, and Bowen defended Ewing, which looked like a good scoring opportunity.
The Knicks don't need Bruce Bowen to start, and Sprewell doesn't want to honestly stand in the bottom corner, so now Johnson is in an awkward position.
Seeing that it was the Raptors who defended him, Ewing felt insulted, and leaned on Bowen on the right corner to ask for the ball, and Ward took it to the front court and passed it.
Yang Rui is playing psychological warfare, he just wants to create this kind of seemingly empty opportunity, let the opponent attack this point, and give up cooperation.
In fact, Bai Bowen relies on defense to eat in the team, except for the veteran Willis, the others are not as reliable as him in single defense, and he is not bad at changing defenses.
Ewing took the ball with his back to Bai Bowen, turned to the baseline and made a "rabbit jump" jumper, Bai Bowen judged accurately, jumped up and tried to close his eyes, and the ball was off the basket.
During this time, the results of Bai Bowen's training with the team began to appear.
Since joining the Trail Blazers, O'Neal Jr. has taken his height-based jumper as a truth, imitating Rasheed Wallace. Ewing became the MVP last season, and he strengthened his belief in pulling out and shooting. In the team, Bai Bowen was responsible for defending him in the training match and was used to this way of attacking.
O'Neal Jr. grabbed the rebound and passed to Billups, who quickly advanced to the frontcourt and grabbed a three-pointer from the left side against Ward, which missed the basket.
Carter rushed to the front, stuck Sprewell and won the rebound in the frontcourt, and scored on the second jump board, 2-0.
"MADMAN" IS 196CM TALL AND WEIGHS ONLY 86 KILOGRAMS, WHILE CARTER, WHO HAS JUST ENTERED THE LEAGUE, IS 198CM TALL AND WEIGHS 100 KILOGRAMS, WHICH IS MUCH STRONGER. Ewing didn't run back, and that's the benefit of fighting back.
The Knicks attacked, Ward passed the ball to Ewing again, he relied on Bowen to turn and jumper, and the interference was deflected again, and the rebound was grabbed by O'Neal Jr.
The Raptors counterattacked, Carter received the ball in the frontcourt, rushed inside with his head down, leaned on Sprewell to take the ball with both hands, and took two steps to jump and pull the rod to make a layup, the ball did not go in, but caused a foul.
Carter is the best player in this rookie class, and he can bully most swing people with his body without too much skill. He hit both free throws to make it 4-0.
The Knicks attacked, and Ward saw Ewing actively asking for the ball, but still passed it. This time, Ewing switched to the left side to catch the ball, turned to the middle, and tried to hook his hand close to the basket, but O'Neal Jr. retreated to form a trap.
The report given by the Knicks scouts shows that O'Neal Jr. has a strong ability to help block and has excellent jumping, and once he is back under the basket, he can't make strong shots.
Ewing passed the ball out, and Johnson missed the basket with an open three-pointer in the bottom corner.
O'Neal Jr. was shocked, because before the game, Yang Rui had instructed him to return to the defensive basket, regardless of Johnson's bottom corner three-pointers, if it was a 70-degree catch, he had to follow.
Johnson shot a lot of three-pointers last season, and the main shot point was 50-70 degrees on the right side, and the left side would be a little worse, and the bottom corner was basically out of the score. Because of his limited shooting points, Johnson only had a season when the three-point line was shortened, averaging a peak of 2.6 shots per game. Even when Yang Rui emphasized shooting three-pointers last season, he only made 2.2 shots.
Yang Rui understands the characteristics of Knicks players, and insisted on starting Bruce Bowen, who is good at three-point shooting in the bottom corner, last season to make up for his shortcomings. Now, Van Gundy's tweaks have changed all that.
The Knicks attacked, and Sprewell was entangled by Christie, and the strong burst was not made to Houston, who was running on the side, and the latter drew Bowen White to switch defenses after covering, and then passed Ewing.
This time, Ewing got the opportunity to single out Carter, turned and made a jumper far from the basket, but still missed Carter's interference.
The more Ewing wants to show his strength, the worse the rhythm becomes, Carter is a defensive person who likes to jump, and it is easy to point him up with the ball, Ewing directly uses the height advantage, Carter is not afraid.
Johnson rushed to grab the rebound and was stuck by O'Neal Jr., and Christie picked up the rebound, turned and made a long pass to the frontcourt.
Carter sprinted straight to get rid of Ewing, glanced back and took three steps, folded his hands and slammed the ball in! 6 to 0.
The Knicks attacked, continued to play on the Ewing and Houston sides, and failed to get open spots.
Yang Rui watched the game on the sidelines, crossed Erlang's legs, hugged his chest with both hands, and looked lazy with confidence.
Bowen's best defense is higher than himself, and his speed generally relies on shooting big men, and Ewing is helping him play to his strengths. Against the Raptors, attacking around Bowen is the right way.
Never ignore the role of the little guys, and if the Knicks don't adjust, the Raptors win.
