Chapter 285 [Team History Record, Very Simple]
The Pacers have not replaced their main force, and there is no one available on the outside. Best www.biquge.info, Reggie Miller, and Crohill continued to play, and the inside line was changed, with Zaan Tabak partnered with veteran Perkins.
It's not that he wants to give up the game, but that he's stronger than Camby and can resist.
It's a pity that the Pacers still don't have an advantage, although the team can score, but they can't prevent the Raptors' offense. Billups' strong attack from one position disrupted the Pacers' defense.
Best defends Boikins, the two are close in stature, and as long as they are not separated by cover, they can fight. Defending Billups, he can only pray that the opponent's shooting touch is problematic, and it is almost misaligned.
Billups' current strength against the shooting guard is not at all a loss, but he is slightly inferior in height.
Reed turned off after being guarded, and Yang Rui let him play for five minutes before resting and replacing him with veteran Curry.
The Raptors relied on offense and led by 38 points into the final quarter.
Yang Rui sent Billups, Reed, Jumain, and Harprin, who had not played much, and Rodgers in the center. The Pacers have a small number of outside rotation players and poor strength, and Miller and Best have played for a long time and have a lot of physical exertion.
The walker couldn't stand it at all. Yang Rui used the strategy of "Tian Ji Horse Racing" in this game, and sent people with good physical strength in the last quarter to cover and cut into the air, and attack the basket to ensure scoring efficiency.
In order to recover the score, the Pacers players pulled out the outside when they had a chance, and continued to hit the iron under interference.
The big score is behind, and the Pacers are still playing as starters, which is a shame in itself. Reggie Miller has been humiliated countless times in his career, and this time he was hard to accept.
What frustrates him the most is that the Raptors are Halprin's main defense, and when he counterattacks, he goes to defend Halprin like a misalignment, and the opponent will rely on his body to eat.
Yang Rui specially instructed Halprin on the sidelines to play on the premise of protecting himself and not to be overshadowed by Miller. Miller couldn't carry Halprin at his best, and he was even more useless after physical exertion. Halprin had played for a few minutes before and was still at his peak.
Billups has a more obvious advantage in the face of Best, who has only rested for six minutes, and can rely on his height advantage to shoot the ball in the running position, and he uses his weight advantage to eat hard when he is close, and he can't prevent it when he forcibly turns around.
Jerome also did the same as before, covering Reed and helping him run to catch the ball and shoot.
In this quarter, the Raptors had almost no tactics, that is, fast offense, and only one side of the positional battle was covered without the ball, but they played a high scoring efficiency by relying on heads-up. Billups had 13 points and four assists in the first quarter, and Halplin also scored 12 points.
Reed hit two more three-pointers, scored eight points on a driving layup, and finished with 31 points, two rebounds and one assist, and shot 9-of-14 from three-point range. He has a singular role, but he is the Raptors' top scorer.
The Raptors scored another 40 points in the final quarter to win 145-85 and beat the Pacers by 60 points.
The Raptors had seven players score in double figures, O'Neal Jr., Carter, and Billups also scored 20+, Halprin scored 16 points, Boykins had 15 points and 6 assists, and Mark Jackson had 16 points and 12 rebounds.
Mike Brin said: "The Raptors' two rookies played too eye-catching today, Reed 30+, Jackson cut a double-double, they are both key players in the team's big victory, and the Pacers certainly didn't expect them to be so difficult to deal with before the game." ”
Walter Fraser said: "The Raptors beat their opponents in the opening game of three consecutive seasons, setting the record for the largest winning spree in the history of the Raptors, which is also the worst loss for the Pacers, and the second was on March 2, 1977, when the Warriors defeated the Pacers by 59 points, 150-91, setting the record for the largest winning spree in the history of the Warriors at that time, and the Pacers were really a bad team. ”
Reggie Miller was the Pacers' best performer, playing 41 minutes and finishing with 27 points, eight rebounds and four assists on 10-of-19 shooting, 2-of-9 three-pointers and 5-of-5 free throws. A lot of his points were scored by the Raptors on the bench in the second half, and the three points were not accurate.
Camby had 12 points and 10 rebounds and played 31 minutes, but the double-double didn't make any sense, and he walked away with his face covered.
Reggie Miller was like the walking dead, leaving with no eyes in his eyes, and he didn't even have the heart to foul and talk trash in the fourth quarter. Even if he maliciously fouled, he only injured the Raptors as a substitute, which is also humiliating.
Moreover, Miller has always been a gentleman who does not use his hands and relies on trash talk to stimulate his opponents. If he provokes Halprin with his actions, he may be beaten very badly, the two are not of the same magnitude at all, and there is no suspense about the outcome of the fight.
As for Reed, Miller didn't have a chance to spew trash talk, and as soon as he said two words, Reed ran away.
Today, the 35-year-old Miller is a little disheartened, the Pacers don't have good chips, they can't exchange stars as "thighs", even if Rose returns, the Pacers are not much better this season, and he can't see any championship hopes.
At the post-game press conference, reporters mainly interviewed Yang Rui, Reed, and Mark Jackson.
The two rookies used all the good words they could think of when they touted Yang Rui, and they both got a lot of playing time this time, and they were the best rookies in all the games on the first day.
Yang Rui commented on the player: "Reed is an underrated player, I have studied his performance in the NCAA, because of the different roles in the team, his three-point ability is not fully shown, more about breakthrough scoring, in the NBA, there are more people than him who break through, so I want to help him play another specialty." ”
The reporter asked: "What heights do you think Reid can reach?" ”
"An All-Star, a super off-ball player, he's strong, he's got a lot of physically, he's an instant force that adapts to the pace of the NBA game, he can play a lot of time and keep running. I'm optimistic about him as the rookie of the year. Yang Rui would not miss the opportunity to act as a "magic stick", so he spoke directly.
It's only the first game, but he knows very well that it's too easy to win the Rookie of the Year this year, and a 10-plus point is enough, as long as Reed's playing time is guaranteed, there is no suspense for Mike Miller, who has more stats than the Magic.
The reporter asked: "Mark Jackson has never played in the NBA, he is almost 26 years old, how did you think of reusing him?" ”
'He's strong, he's got a low post, he's got a mid-range shot, he's working really hard in training, and with those three things alone, I'm going to give him plenty of opportunities to perform. However, we have two stars on the inside, Jermaine and Brad, so it will be difficult for him to compete for the Rookie of the Year. Yang Rui smiled.
Reporters are sweating, how can you have two best rookies on one team?
A reporter asked: "Jerry, as we all know, you are very good at exploring the potential of newcomers, and you can bring out several rookies every year, and you rarely look away, what is the secret?" ”
"It's very simple, when arranging tactics, try to give full play to the player's existing strengths, such as Zhu Meiin, if he plays small forward, maybe just an ordinary player, no characteristics, but arrange him to play a big forward, he has a speed advantage, can hold the ball and pass people, can shoot three points to withdraw the inside, and can also change guards well when defending. Reed can shoot threes, and I wouldn't have him play like he did in college, which was to grab the ball with Carter. ”
Everyone listened very carefully, Yang Rui said "very simple", it is difficult for other coaches to do, and it is impossible for scouts to collect information accurately, otherwise there will not be so many parallel rookies every year.
Yang Rui didn't think about teaching apprentices in terms of knowing people, everyone thought he was very powerful.
