The Pope of Basketball Community

Chapter 128 [Big Heart, Tractor]

In the second quarter, Yang Rui thought he could expand his advantage, but he didn't expect to be hit by the Bucks as a substitute.

Di Brown, Tracy McGrady, Christie, and John Wallace all had terrible hands and missed shots repeatedly. Only Wesley scored offensively.

The team is young and has flaws. Once it feels bad, it will suffer, and it is easy to mess up on the court.

Yang Rui called a timeout to help McGrady arrange tactics, but it didn't solve the problem.

Once the counterattack fails, the Raptors will not be easy to fight in positional warfare. Wesley and Wallace didn't work well. The Bucks could shrink the lineup. McGrady broke through with the ball and was double-teamed and had to pass the ball. The two inside shots were unreliable.

The Bucks shot resolutely from the outside, Dell Curry made two three-pointers, and Vinnie Denat also made a breakthrough layup.

Yang Rui replaced Carter, O'Neal, and Billups, and the Raptors stabilized the situation. At halftime, they led 52 to 47.

In the third quarter, Yang Rui changed his strategy. Veteran Wesley was the center forward, John Wallace was No. 4, and Carter, Christie, and DeBron were on the periphery.

Wesley is the best rebounder in the team. After grabbing the rebound, the four immediately launched a counterattack. Christie responded to Wesley's pass in the backcourt and was responsible for organizing the offense. His hand feeling was very poor today and he missed all his first 5 shots.

Even so, Yang Rui let Christie play in order to defend Ray Allen. He was more successful in restricting Ray Allen, inseparable, and Ray Allen is a reasonable player, there is no good opportunity not to shoot, and very few shots.

DiBrown is faster, shorter and defends Brandon better.

After playing for 6 minutes, McGrady replaced Christie and continued to pester Ray Allen.

Yang Rui learned a lot last season, Van Gundy arranged a good defensive system, he and Thibodeau both benefited a lot.

Now that the two have discussed it, they have done a good job in targeting the stars. Ray Allen can't shoot three-pointers, and the Bucks are not afraid.

The point difference in this quarter did not widen, 75 to 69, and the Raptors maintained the lead.

In the final quarter, Yang Rui sent Jermaine O'Neal, who only played 4 minutes in the third quarter, and the energetic Brad Miller to partner inside, Carter, McGrady, and Billups on the outside.

The Bucks sent Dell Curry and Vinnie Denat on the outside, "Big Dog" Robinson small forward, veteran Almon Gilliam and No. 6 rookie Robert Traylor on the inside.

Looking at the opponent's lineup, Yang Rui relaxed and said to Thibodeau: "We are sure to win, the Bucks made a mistake."

Thibodeau asked: "You mean they shouldn't be playing double guard?"

"You shouldn't be on that tractor either." Yang Rui said, taking out a pack of Twinkies from his bag. "Do you want it?"

Thibodeau shook his head. He didn't want to be crazy with Yang Rui. Eating on the sidelines would affect his image too much.

This is a banana-flavored cream layer cake. It is individually packaged and easy to carry. Usually there are two in a bag. Yang Rui likes this taste very much. It is a delicacy that he has never tasted in his previous life.

His actions were quickly discovered by the cameraman, and the camera gave him a close-up.

Clark said strangely: "The score is still anxious, and Jerry is not worried at all. Not only did he send the marginal man Miller, but he also started eating."

David said with a smile: "What the Raptors players need is Jerry's big heart. When everyone is watching, it's like watching TV at home."

The audience in front of the TV saw this scene. Apart from finding it amusing, many people were infected and started looking for snacks.

On the field, the Raptors began to take the initiative.

Seeing that Yang Rui didn't blame him at all, Mai Di, who didn't play well, relaxed a lot.

Miller seized every opportunity to prove his strength and worked hard to guard the penalty area.

Yang Rui relaxes because the Bucks rookie Robert Traylor, nicknamed "Tractor", is 203cm tall and weighs 129kg.

In Yang Rui's previous life, he only played in the NBA for 7 seasons.

Traylor left the league due to overweight and heart problems. Fans all know this person, not because he has played star data, but after the Mavericks selected him with the sixth overall pick, he was replaced by Nowitzki, who was the ninth overall pick of the Bucks.

Old Nelson never looked down on players who couldn't shoot, so he naturally didn't appreciate Traylor. The Mavericks chose him just to intercept the Bucks and get some benefits. Traylor's type of player, let alone the top six, shouldn't be in the first round at all. His speed is too slow.

After Traylor came on the court, Miller and Carter's pick-and-roll in the middle became extremely powerful. Carter's breakthrough ability was very strong when he first entered the league, because his physical fitness is so good that most insiders can't keep up with speed alone.

Carter also has skills, can change directions, has a large stride when breaking through, and jumps high and far with the last step. Basically, he's so close to the rim that no one of his height can block his shot no matter how tight he is.

If the defensive player is one step behind, then you can watch the UFO, and Carter will definitely dunk!

A person of Traylor's size is slow against O'Neal, how can he keep up with Carter? The 193cm white guard Denat went to chase and defend, and Miller would be vacated again.

Today Miller is not soft-hearted when he plays, and he hits two mid-range shots in a row at a high position. It is impossible to let him go short.

In order to defend Carter, the Bucks retreated from the bottom line. Carter scored the ball and took a chance from the bottom corner. Billups made another three-pointer from the right side.

Some fans called Billups "Tie Lu". Last season, he was indeed iron most of the time, with an overall shooting percentage of just 37.4%, but half of his shots were 3-pointers.

This season, Yang Rui arranged tactics to help Billups play his strengths. He didn't need the ball, and his shooting percentage increased. This big explosion.

Billups went to the bottom corner, which caused Bucks coach Carl a very headache. Let Curry be the main defense. His thin body cannot help defend the basket. Letting the forwards defend is a direct opportunity for misplacement.

This position was arranged by Yang Rui, a routine of the Bulls' triangle offense, which is very simple, that is, the point guard goes to the bottom corner. Billups' restraint in this position is obviously greater than Harbaugh, who was unable to shoot three-pointers last season.

Traylor was replaced after four minutes of playing, plus four minutes in the second quarter, for a total of eight minutes. He missed all three shots and scored no points, and grabbed three backcourt rebounds. His presence was a defensive colander, and the Raptors widened the point difference to 17 points in a 13-2 wave.

The Bucks are located in a poor city, and no big-name players are willing to join. It is extremely important to cultivate rookies.

At this time, the general manager and scouts of the Bucks are under a lot of pressure. Traylor's performance is not as good as the Raptors' undrafted rookie Miller. It is necessary to deal with such a high-ranking rookie. After the season is over, they are afraid of work. Not guaranteed.

George Karl replaced Johnson and Ray Allen, strengthened the defense in the second half, reduced the offensive rhythm, ensured the scoring efficiency of positional battles, and gradually took control of the situation.

The Bucks had a good offense, but the hole in front was too big. The Raptors' offense was misfired, and by shrinking their defense, they stumbled and maintained their advantage to the end.

97 to 91, the Raptors failed to score more than 100 points, and the result was enough to excite the fans. They started the game with three consecutive victories.
