Chapter 143 [Data Explosion, Asking for Blessings]

After playing a few games, Yang Rui will use Cato correctly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Info put him in charge of grabbing rebounds, blocking, guarding the box, and doing the kind of work as Mutombo, Mourning, Ben Wallace.

The Raptors' outside players have good physical fitness, and they are not defensive black holes, and if they keep playing like this, Cato's stats will definitely improve significantly.

The Pistons won on defense, conceding only 87 points per game, and the two sides began to play iron.

Maddy and Carter's three-point shooting rates are in the early 30s, and they have to practice, and Billups is tightly guarded and has no good shots. Both teams scored mainly heads-up.

After striking a lot of iron, Cato is cool. The Pistons' interior rebounding ability is average, Bison Dele is 206CM, weighs 109 kg, and lacks bounce. Don Reid is strong enough at 116kg and only 203cm tall, and he is no match for Cato.

In the second half, Yang Rui sent O'Neill Jr. to protect the penalty area better.

Cato made two shots in the first quarter and finished with four points, nine rebounds, one assist and one block, including three frontcourt rebounds. He didn't score much, but he guarded the box very well, and the Pistons couldn't score the basket at all.

The Raptors offense relied on the trident, playing like the future Heat Big Three, and opened up the star heads-up. Playing the most training players in this way, no matter who defends, is to do it!

The Raptors led 26-20 in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, O'Neal Jr. and John Thomas formed the interior line, and Christie, Alvin, and Di Brown on the periphery.

As soon as the Raptors won the rebound in the backcourt, the three of them went on a fast break. Positional battle: O'Neal Jr. pulled out to block and dismantle, and Thomas attacked the basket in the low post.

Yang Rui changed the lineup, which played the effect of Tian Ji horse racing.

Pistons backup center Eric Montrose is 213cm tall and weighs 122 kilograms, moves slowly, can't go back when he encounters fast offense and defense, and is half a beat slow to change guards in positional battles.

Eric went off the court, and the Pistons didn't have a meat shield inside, and they couldn't defend the restricted area well. ANOTHER INSIDER, KRISTIN LEITNER IS 211CM TALL AND WEIGHS 107CM, WHICH IS ABOUT THE SAME AS LITTLE O'NEILL, AND JEROME WILLIAMS IS 206CM TALL AND WEIGHS ONLY 93 KG.

Also 206CM tall, Thomas 120kg, low strong attack Jerome can't bear it, and the opponent easily hit the penalty area.

As soon as the Pistons contracted, Di Brown hit two three-pointers from the outside.

The Pistons relied on Joe Dumas to score four points, and the Raptors hit a 14-4 shockwave to widen the difference.

As soon as Hill and Starkerhouse returned, the Raptors began to grind the position battle again, and the Pistons' ability to break through the shrinkage defense was terrible, averaging only 90 points per game.

In the second half, the Raptors continued to guard the restricted area and maintain their advantage, and finally won 111-87.

Cato played 35 minutes, shooting 5-of-6 from the field and 2-of-4 from the free-throw line, scoring 12 points, 21 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 blocks, setting a career-high number of rebounds.

In the core competition between the two sides, Maddy shot 6 of 14, 2 of 6 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, 19 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists.

Carter finished with 16 points, three rebounds and five assists on 6-of-16 shooting, 1-of-3 three-pointers and 3-of-4 free throws.

The Pistons scored the most points with Hill, shooting 5-of-8 from the field and 8-of-10 from the free-throw line to finish with 18 points, nine rebounds and seven assists.

Stackhouse shot 6-of-15, 2-of-5 from three-point range and 2-of-3 from the free-throw line to finish with 16 points, two rebounds and two assists.

In the bench competition, the Raptors won. DeBromon had 19 points and four assists, and O'Neal Jr. had 16 points and five rebounds. No one from the Pistons bench scored in double figures.

Clark commented: "After this game, basketball pundits and reporters who say that the Raptors' good record is an accident can shut up. After five consecutive defeats, they went on a four-game winning streak, and they won it in three days and three games. ”

David said: "The reason the Raptors lost was the rookie wall and the physical, and now Yang Rui has two rotation players resting and recovering every game. And after Cato arrived, they not only attacked quickly, but also played positional battles and fought defenses with the opponent. I think the Raptors have gotten better. ”

At the press conference, Yang Rui became the focus of the audience again.

Carter, the Raptors' current top scorer, is also averaging just over 20 points per game, and Yang Rui's tactics are more appealing, and he has helped another team's rookie stats explode.

Yang Rui commented on the game first. "I'd like to give credit to Kevin, Tracy and Vince for doing everything I asked me to do. Kevin is the center that the Raptors need, and I believe that and I'm very happy with his play, and today he was dominant on the inside. ”

The reporter asked: "There are many people who say that the Raptors can't win the championship by attacking alone, what do you think?" ”

Yang Rui said with a smile: "I suggest that people who say these words watch more football games, does it cost electricity to watch the game?" Is there any team in the NBA that only goes on offense and not defense? When a star scores 50 or 60 points against the Raptors, they'll say that again. ”

The reporter asked, "What do you predict the Raptors will achieve this year?" ”

"I don't know, I don't predict, it doesn't matter what the results are, the key is that everyone has to have fun. I'm still the same idea – Happy Basketball! ”

Yang Rui seized the opportunity to relieve the pressure on the players, saying that it was impossible not to care about the results, the team was in trouble, and he did not eat snacks on the sidelines during the five-game losing streak.

In the next game against the weak Clippers, Yang Rui felt that he could eat happily.

The next day, major media outlets mentioned the Raptors' winning streak and also mentioned the Portland Trail Blazers' player injuries.

On the same day, Camby sprained his knee in the Trail Blazers' game against the Mavericks and will miss 4-6 weeks. This casts a shadow on the Trailblazers' road to the championship.

It didn't take long for the Trail Blazers to laugh at the Raptors before they were watched by other teams, and the big four interior players became three, and they had to give marginal man Michael Stewart playing time and let John Wallace top the No. 4 spot at some point.

Yang Rui is not surprised by Camby's injury. In his previous life, Camby was a famous glass man in the NBA.

Although he has not experienced a season reimbursement, Camby's injury is characterized by a long time span, from the beginning of his career until his retirement, various injuries have been intermittently entangled in him, if you convert, he has missed an average of nearly 30 games in each of the 17 seasons of his career.

And Camby's Trailblazers have a famous feature - the curse of the center!

The oddity started 30 years ago, when the Trail Blazers drafted Bill Wharton in '74 and played only 35 games in his first year and 30 games in his second year.

Wharton never played a full season in his career, injuries were a regular occurrence for him, and only one season did he play 65 games for the team, and that was the season when the Trail Blazers won a championship.

In 1984, the Trail Blazers skipped superstars such as Jordan and Barkley and selected Sam Bowe, who was considered a future super center.

After that, Sabonis, Oden, Pulzbilla, Meyers Leonard and other center forwards, all of them continued to suffer big and small injuries.

The best is the former Warriors center, the macho Azeri, who was reimbursed in the summer of 2016 just after joining the Trail Blazers with a high salary, and he didn't play a game next season, and people don't know what happened to him.

Camby and the Trail Blazers are so compatible, if he doesn't change teams, he'll be blessed.
