The Raptors have a 13-man playoff lineup with injured Mark Jackson and veteran Tracy Murray left out. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Murray played in just 40 games for the Raptors in total, had an old knee injury and was often left out of the squad, averaging 2.5 points and 0.8 rebounds in 6.4 minutes per game.

Yang Rui believes that athleticism is more important than experience, Murray has no height in the No. 4 position, poor confrontation, and slow speed in the No. 3 position. In the playoffs, the confrontation intensified, and he was even more useless.

When the playoffs began, the Raptors easily eliminated the Bucks 3-0, and the smallest game by 21 points was also won.

The Bucks have died in infighting this season, not just among the players, but also with head coach George Carr.

With the Bucks, George Karl has the unspoken privilege of paying twice as much as Popovich, Brown and others this season behind Phil Jackson.

Coupled with the support of the top management, Carl's waist board is very hard, so domineering that no matter which player has a conflict with him, it is always that player who leaves, no matter how big a name he is. The main problem for the Bucks is that the "big dog" Robinson, Ray Allen and coach Karl are at odds, and they have long been public.

Ray Allen is young and vigorous, and he doesn't look like a gentleman, but he has openly fought Robinson and Tim Thomas in training matches.

Carl and Ray Allen sneered at each other in the face of the media. Karl is full of resentment towards his players, and he calls them "liars" who are passive and slack off on defense, and the Bucks' poor defense has become the norm for the whole team. At the end of the season, the Bucks will definitely start to rebuild, and the lazy "big dog" Robinson will bear the brunt of being sent away.

In other series, the Nets swept the 76ers 3-0.

The 76ers were suddenly infamous as the "fastest degraded team", and the team fell into chaos.

Before the game, the media broke the conflict between Iverson and coach Larry Brown, and after being eliminated, because Larry Brown criticized Iverson for always missing training, those good reporters also amplified these words, and asked at the press conference whether Iverson's elimination was related to insufficient training, which added fuel to the fire.

Iverson, who couldn't bear it, broke out, and he repeated the word "practice" 24 times in a row in just 2 minutes and 20 seconds, creating a classic joke for future generations.

The Pistons beat the Hornets 3-1 and didn't waste much effort.

The starting point guard of the Pistons is only Jacqui Vaughn, who averages 6.6 points and 4.2 assists per game, and the substitute is Knicks veteran Chris Childs, who is much worse than Francis no matter how you look at it.

Van Gundy has a characteristic that he is not good at using point guards, he always reuses defensive point guards, can catch the ball and shoot opportunities on the outside, and then rely on the defensive system to win.

Francis is a promiscuous player, averaging 21.6 points, 7 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game, shooting just 41.7% from the field. The two sides fought hard for position, and the Pistons dragged the opponent into their own rhythm and won the game with better defense.

The one game won by the Hornets was on offense, with David Wesley, Jamal Mashburn, and Elden Campbell all scoring 20+.

The Bulls defeated the Celtics 3-2, the stars of both sides were half-hearted, and the Bulls players played better in the fifth game, and when the score was deadlocked in the final quarter, Brand scored consecutive points to blow up "Fat Head" Antoine Walker. The latter played wildly from beyond the three-point line, shooting 6-of-20 from the field.

In the first round of the West, three teams completed the sweep, only the Spurs and the SuperSonics played more intensely, and finally the Spurs eliminated the SuperSonics 3-2 to advance, and the second round will fight the Kings.

Lakers VS Mavericks, there is no suspense.

Raptors vs Bulls became the focus of the second round, and many fans paid attention to the brother duel between Carter and Maddy, and O'Neal Jr. vs. Brand, which was also a battle between stars.

However, before the game, Yang Rui announced a change in the starting lineup in the second round, with Carter playing shooting guard and Kirilenko starting small forward, in order to deal with Maddy, of course.

Let Carter and Maddie face each other, and the two know each other well, and they will almost blow each other up. Yang Rui plans to specially arrange two people to pester Maddie, drain his physical energy, and limit his scoring efficiency. Reed benches can also increase their attack power in the second quarter.

On the Bulls' side, coach Tim Floyd had a similar idea, using Artest to defend Carter, ready to let Maddy play against Reed, and switch defenses when encountering cover, so that Maddie could be more relaxed on the defensive end and focus more on offense.

Yang Rui didn't let Reed start, and Floyd's arrangement was about to fail.

On April 30, the first game between the two sides started on the Raptors' home court.

When he played, the fans booed Maddy, not because they hated Maddy for not renewing his contract with the Raptors, but because it was a habit at home. Stars from other teams were also booed here, and the fans wanted to create a stronger home atmosphere in this way, create a devil's home stadium, and help the home team win.

Maddie was relaxed, smiling, sleepy-eyed.

After the appearance, he specially went to the sidelines to say hello to Yang Rui, and the two hugged each other. Maddie is very grateful to Yang Rui, and feels that if Yang Rui is not coaching the Raptors, maybe he will be a blue-collar worker for a longer time, and it will be difficult to sign a contract with a maximum salary in 2000.

CCTV5 broadcast live, Zhang Li said: "The Bulls team became stronger after Maddy joined, and today the master-apprentice matchup, I don't know if the Bulls can make trouble for the Raptors." ”

"The Raptors have a near-inexplicable roster this season, with three All-Star caliber players, two super shooters, and excellent benches," Xu said. The Bulls must play better if they want to upset the starters, and it is difficult for the bench to play against the Raptors. ”

Zhang Li said with a smile: "Many people on the Internet predicted that the Raptors would change their formation today, and sure enough, Yang Rui let Kirilenko start, which must be to strengthen the defense." ”

Players from both sides stand in the middle of the field. Raptors five: Billups, Carter, Kirilenko, O'Neal Jr., Miller.

Raptors starters: Mark Jackson, Maddy, Artest, Brand, Keon Clark.

O'Neal Jr. jumped the ball and the game began.

Billups took possession of the ball to the front court and passed to Carter, ran to the bottom left corner, and O'Neal Jr. also pulled away on the left. Kirilenko went to the bottom right corner and Miller went to the middle to cover Carter.

Artest excels at putting pressure on opposing players with his strong body and tackling with his nimble hands, making him an excellent defensive player. He is 201CM tall and weighs 113 kilograms, even Carter, who is more powerful than him.

Compared to speed and agility, Artest is inferior to Carter. As soon as the block came up, Carter broke through on the left side, accelerated forward with the ball, and distanced himself from Artest.

The Bulls center position is a weakness, and the starter is blue-collar Clark, a player who is difficult to start on other teams, has poor confrontation, and has average ability to control rebounds. HIS STRENGTHS ARE A HEIGHT OF 211CM AND AN ARM SPAN OF 227CM, A WEIGHT OF 100 KG, DECENT MANEUVERABILITY, AND GOOD BOUNCE.

Carter also weighs 100 kilograms, the impact is super strong, near the penalty area by Clark strong, air lever, Clark forced jump interference, the two have physical contact, the ball did not score, the referee whistle, foul free throw.

Carter hit both free throws to make it 2-0.

Yang Rui applauded Carter on the sidelines, and he played as required before the game, opening the game with a sharp basket and attacking Clark. If the opponent's formation shrinks badly, pass it out and then throw it.

What is the control cadence? Yang Rui didn't think about it, the Raptors are going to be tough with their opponents today!
