The Pope of Basketball Community

The applause given to Yang Rui by the fans was harsh to Van Gundy, as if everyone was scolding him.

In fact, there are indeed many fans who scold Van Gundy.

In the auditorium, some Chinese fans held the slogan "Van Gundy dismissed get out of class" and shouted excitedly, which became a beautiful landscape and added an extraordinary color to the nationally broadcast game.

The angry expression of the Chinese fan was indescribable. He seemed to be kneeling on the ground at any moment, beating gongs and drums for a burst of rap -- "From now on, Van Gundy's photo is with me, and I will never forget this hatred!"

Facing the defecting fans, Van Gundy stood with a stubborn attitude and a deadpan face.

This is the so-called "coach's psychological adjustment". No matter whether you have confidence or not, don't let people see your weak side, no matter how depressed Van Gundy is inside.

When he saw the Raptors' lineup, his depression doubled instantly.

Did Detlef go to Korea for plastic surgery? Why has his appearance changed so much?

What the hell is No. 40? Does sending this guy look down on the Knicks?

CCTV5 also broadcast the game live. Zhang Lili was surprised: "The starting power forward sent by the Raptors is actually Ryan Bowen. The Raptors selected 47th in the second round. Rafe is on the sidelines, no one is on the injured list."

Sun Zhengping analyzed: "Maybe Yang Rui wants to give up this game to ensure that the core players will fight for the next game? He said in an interview that the team has no goals this season."

Zhang Lihan said: "I think he might be trying to win by surprise."

Raptors starting: Billups, Christie, Carter, Bowen, O'Neal.

Knicks starters: Charlie Ward, Houston, Sprewell, Larry Johnson, Ewing.

Yang Rui's employment aroused everyone's interest, and many audience members did not know Bai Baowen's name.

O'Neal beat Ewing with an explosive jump ball. Christie slowly dribbled the ball across half court and passed it to Carter. The players moved away.

Jermaine O'Neal picked and rolled in the middle, Carter dribbled the ball out of the right, Ewing switched defenses, Carter moved laterally, made an emergency stop jumper inside the three-point line, and the ball missed the basket.

This is the shot distance that Yang Rui makes the players try to avoid, but no matter how you say it, some people will make this mistake. The habit formed in school cannot be changed all at once.

Bai Bowen didn't grab offensive rebounds at all, quickly returned to defense, followed Ewing, and man-to-man.

The home fans were all excited. O'Neal was actually dealing with Johnson, and Bowen was defending Ewing. This seemed to be a good scoring opportunity.

The Knicks don't use Bruce Bowen as the starter, and Sprewell doesn't want to stand honestly in the corner, so now Johnson is in an awkward position. He is active on the baseline, and Jermaine O'Neal defends him and can retreat to the basket at any time to help defend and block shots.

Seeing that the Raptors were defending him, Ewing felt insulted. He leaned against Bowen on the right corner and asked for the ball. Ward brought it to the frontcourt and passed it.

Yang Rui is playing psychological warfare, he just wants to create this kind of opportunity that seems to be open, so that the opponent will attack this point and give up cooperation.

In fact, Bai Bowen in the team relies on defense to make a living. Except for veteran Willis, no one else is as reliable as him in single defense, and he is not bad in switching defenses for pick-and-rolls.

Ewing took the ball and leaned against Bowen Bai with his back, turned to the baseline and made a "rabbit jump" jump shot. Bowen Bai made an accurate judgment and jumped up to keep his eyes closed as much as possible, but the ball missed the basket.

During this period, the results of Bai Bowen's training with the team began to appear.

Since joining the Trail Blazers, Jermaine O'Neal has regarded his height-based jumper as the truth, imitating Rasheed Wallace. Ewing became the MVP last season, and he has strengthened his belief in pulling out and shooting. In the team, Bai Bowen was responsible for defending him in the training game, and he was used to this offensive method.

Jermaine O'Neal grabbed the rebound and passed it to Billups. The latter quickly advanced to the frontcourt and shot a three-pointer against Ward on the left.

Missed the basket.

Carter rushed to the front, stuck Sprewell and scored an offensive rebound, and scored with a second take-off, 2-0.

"Madman" is 196 cm tall and weighs only 86 kg. Although Carter has just entered the league, he is 198 cm tall and weighs 100 kg. He is too strong. Ewing didn't run back, which is the benefit of countering the chaos.

The Knicks attacked, and Ward passed the ball to Ewing again. He relied on Bowen to turn and jump for a jumper, and missed again under the interference. The rebound was grabbed by O'Neal.

The Raptors counterattacked, Carter received the ball in the frontcourt, lowered his head and rushed to the inside, relying on Sprewell to get the ball with both hands, two-step take-off and pull the bar for a layup, the ball missed, but caused a foul.

Carter is the best immediate combat power among the rookies in this class. He doesn't need too much skill and can bully most swingers with his body. After he made two free throws, it was 4-0.

The Knicks attacked, and Ward saw Ewing actively asking for the ball, so he passed it. This time Ewing switched to the left side to catch the ball, turned to the middle, and wanted to hook near the basket, O'Neal retreated to form a double-team.

The report given by the Knicks scouts shows that O'Neal has a strong ability to help defend and block shots, and has excellent bounce. Once he returns to the basket, he cannot force shots.

Ewing passed the ball, and Johnson missed the basket with an open three-pointer from the corner.

O'Neal was shocked because before the game, Yang Rui had told him to return to the basket, regardless of Johnson's three-pointer from the bottom corner, if he caught the ball at 70 degrees, he had to follow closely.

Johnson shot a lot of three-pointers last season, the main shooting point is 50-70 degrees on the right side, the left side will be less accurate, and the bottom corner is basically unacceptable. Because of the limited shooting points, Johnson only had a season with a shortened three-point line, averaging 2.6 shots per game. Even if Yang Rui emphasized shooting three-pointers last season, he only took 2.2 shots.

Yang Rui understands the characteristics of Knicks players. Last season, he insisted on starting Bruce Bowen, who is good at corner three-pointers, to make up for his shortcomings. Now, Van Gundy's tweaks have changed all that.

The Knicks attacked, and Sprewell was entangled by Christie, and he forced his way to Houston, who was running on the side. After the latter screened, he attracted Bai Bowen to switch defenses, and then passed Ewing.

This time Ewing got the chance to single out Carter, turned around and made a jump shot at a position far from the basket, but still missed under Carter's interference.

The more Ewing wants to show his strength, the worse the rhythm. Carter is a defensive player who likes to jump. It is easy to point him up by feinting with the ball. Ewing directly uses his height advantage, and Carter is not afraid.

Johnson rushed to grab the rebound and was stuck by O'Neal. Christie picked up the rebound, turned around and made a long pass to the frontcourt.

Carter sprinted in a straight line to get rid of Ewing, glanced back and took three steps, folded his hands behind his back and smashed in! 6 to 0.

The Knicks attacked and continued to play Ewing and Houston, but failed to get open.

Yang Rui was watching the game from the sidelines, with his legs crossed, his hands crossed over his chest, and he looked confident and lazy. If Ewing singled out Bai Bowen as the main player, it would be difficult to guarantee his efficiency.

Bowen is best at defending against big men who are taller than himself and generally rely on shooting. Ewing is helping him to use his strengths. Against the Raptors, it is the right way to attack and bypass Bowen.

Never ignore the role of small people, if the Knicks do not make adjustments, the Raptors will win.
