Willis and Billups were on the left, Christie was in the bottom corner on the right, and O'Neal Jr. was picked up outside the three-point line in the middle to help Carter get rid of Bowen.

Carter burst to the left with the ball, Ewing hurriedly changed the defense to keep up, O'Neal Jr. stood still in the middle, and Bowen didn't dare to chase the defense. There are scouts to collect information, and the two sides know the bottom line, and O'Neal Jr.'s mid-range shot is very accurate and can't be empty.

Billups ran from the bottom corner to the top line, and Willis covered without the ball, and Ward was quick to follow. Carter didn't pass, the run just attracted the defense, and after Johnson was led away, there was no one to help Ewing.

Carter's 45-degree ball frame was slightly paused, and the crotch dribbled to the left hand to change direction to the bottom line.

How could Carter get down from behind? He leaped up and scored with a tomahawk in his right hand. 2 to 0.

Zhang Li shouted: "Carter's bounce is so terrifying, and he staged a trademark violent dunk at the beginning. ”

Sun Zhengping sighed: "In terms of playing spectacle, the Raptors are indeed much better than the Knicks, even the Knicks relied on shooting last season, which is rare." ”

The Knicks attacked, Ewing covered Houston on the left side, and after O'Neal Jr. changed defenses, it became Christie's defense Ewing, he received a pass, turned around and jumped into the frame, and at about 50 degrees, he made a jump shot based on his height, and he also hit. 2 to 2.

The fans applauded, and the bosses of both sides scored at the beginning, which is what the fans want to see the most.

The Raptors attacked, Carter blocked and O'Neal Jr. in the middle, and it was Johnson who switched defenses this time, and he was more mobile than Ewing.

Carter takes the ball to the right and gets rid of Bowen.

Christie ran from the bottom right corner to the upper line to open up space for Kartra, and Yang Rui arranged for him to shoot mainly in the bottom corner, but he was not unable to shoot in other positions, and he played very flexibly.

At this time, the veteran Willis went to the left low post, so that Ewing could not go to the defense, otherwise the basket would be empty.

There is no one on the weak side to help Christie cover, he doesn't need to, the purpose is to help Carter create heads-up opportunities and form a triangle with O'Neal Jr.

The Raptors don't just play and run, in the second half of the regular season, there are a lot of stars heads-up, and what they practice is the triangle offense, not seeking empty positions, only singles.

Carter and Johnson are about the same height, with the latter being a stubby lap. Carter has a speed advantage, dribbling the ball under the crotch to the right hand, and gently probing the right shoulder, Johnson's center of gravity moved a little laterally, Carter immediately slapped the ball with his right hand to his left hand, pulled the ball and changed direction, and forced a breakthrough against Johnson into the penalty area.

Ewing hurriedly retreated to the basket, and if he didn't make up for the defense, Carter had to dunk again, Carter didn't mess around, jumped up and divided the ball from Ewing's side to the left basket, Willis took the ball and shot, and scored easily from close range. 4 to 2.

The Knicks attacked, Houston received the ball and was followed by O'Neal Jr., and the breakthrough was not to Ewing, who responded with a pass to Johnson, who forced a layup by squeezing Willis with his body.

This is not a good choice, although Willis is thin, after all, he is 213CM tall, he can interfere without jumping, the ball is deflected, and Carter retreats to protect the backcourt rebound.

Carter only has to defend Bowen, who is the easiest and can focus more on the offensive end.

Billups moved to the frontcourt, and the Raptors positional battle began again. Van Gundy emphasized the speed of the defense before the game, and the players ran hard, but the Raptors gave up the fast break.

In Yang Rui's previous life, D'Antoni's Suns and Nelson's Warriors all proved one thing, it is difficult to win a championship with pure running and shooting, and the team must be free in rhythm.

Billups is a fast and slow defender, he doesn't have many assists, he doesn't have a bad sense of passing, and he can get the ball into the right place. And his greatest strength lies in his personal threat on the offensive end, which can contain the defense.

Carter singled out Johnson and missed a 45-degree pullup jumper, and Ewing grabbed the rebound.

The Raptors players settled unhurriedly and formed a complete defensive system, and after the Knicks covered Ewing, he received the ball, turned and hit another jumper, 4-4.

The Knicks are also good at creating misplaced heads-up opportunities, and no one dares to let up their defense against Houston.

The Raptors attacked, Carter hit the rim and gave the ball to Billups, who was running on the side. Ewing hurriedly switched defenses, and Billups took two steps along the three-point line to attract the defense to Willis, who was open to the air.

As soon as Ewing went out, the Knicks' interior rim protection became terrible. Willis leaned on Ward to turn down the middle and hit a hook shot. 6 to 4.

The Knicks attacked, Ewing covered the average quality this time, Christie bypassed and caught up with Houston, Houston passed Ewing again, and there was no advantage in single-handing O'Neal Jr.

Ewing guarded the ball and other teammates ran to Johnson, who singled Willis and changed direction with the ball to break away.

Willis's defensive anticipation was excellent, not shaking, and the side followed the interference, Johnson didn't get rid of the basket and distributed the ball again.

The player passed a few times, Houston faced Christie, shot wide from the baseline, and Willis grabbed the rebound.

In the Raptors positional battle, Willis helped Billups get rid of Ward, Carter passed the ball, and Billups ran as he did just now, finding the vacancy and hoisting it to the low post.

Willis took the ball with his back on the left side, leaned on Ward's turn to the middle, and hit again with a close-range hook. 8 to 4.

The veteran scored six points in a row. Yang Rui started Willis, not just for his experience, he has a certain ability to score. In the peak 91-92 season, he averaged 18.3 points and 15.5 rebounds per game, and in the 93-94 season, he also had 19.1 points and 12 rebounds.

Willis's label isn't defense, it's an invincible hook, super rebounding, and top-tier physicality. At the age of 37, he is not bad at bouncing and speed, and the hook old man is not a vegetarian.

Christie went to the baseline and changed to Carter for Ewing after side cover.

Ewing Rabbit jumped around and shot wide of Carter, and the rebound was picked up by Willis.

The Knicks have two weaknesses in the starter, one is that the offensive routine is too simple, which is what Yang Rui left behind, of course he knows how to crack it; The second is that the rebounding is poor, and you can only rely on Ewing.

Back on the defensive end, Ewing was depressed, and he found that the opponent was targeting his own offensive tactics and was bound to pull him out of the basket. Whoever he defends, the attack starts from the outside of that side.

Carter passed the ball again, Ewing was a little slower to change the guard this time, trying to let Ward chase it, Billups received the ball and immediately shot.

The opportunity came out, and the ball luckily deflected off the basket. And that's not all, O'Neal Jr. rushed to grab the rebound in the middle, relying on his height and reach, and flicked the ball out behind Johnson.

As soon as Ewing pulled back, he watched as Willis picked up a frontcourt rebound from outside the box and distributed the perimeter for Billups to play a second game.

Billups steadied and passed to Carter.

Carter leaned on Bowen, protected the ball with his back, was not in a hurry or impatient, waited for O'Neal Jr. to come out to cover again, dribbled the ball to the right side, and the formation was pulled apart, attracting Johnson to defend and pass the ball to the middle.

O'Neal Jr. received the ball in the frame, added a small lean back after the dumble, and made a high jump shot, but Bowen couldn't cover it with all his strength. O'Neill Jr. was well prepared for this round, with a perfect rhythm and the ball hollowed into the net. 10 to 4.

As soon as the game started, the Raptors played an extremely fluid positional offense.
