The Pope of Basketball Community

Yang Rui sent the experienced Detref, who is more stable at critical moments and will not make low-level mistakes. He only played 20 minutes in the game, and his physical fitness is also guaranteed.

Detlef was in charge of making key shots in the 1996 Finals and had a big heart. In Game 6 of the Finals, the SuperSonics lost 75 to 87. He scored 23 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, almost leading the team to a comeback.

Yang Rui also sent John Wallace, who only played 4 minutes in the fourth quarter, with McGrady, Carter, and Billups on the outside.

Yang Rui arranged to say: "John, you are the key to winning the game. You are probably facing Oakley. You are faster than him, and you must counterattack resolutely. Tracy, you defend at the bottom line, pay attention to retreating after protection Rebounds, use your height and jumping ability, counterattack with a pass, and three people fast break. On the defensive end, pay attention to changing defenses when encountering pick-and-rolls. The positional battle is opened, and Tracy holds the ball in the middle to attack."

John Wallace was a little confused.

You didn't use me all the time, and now you say that I am the key to winning?

This is Yang Rui's brilliance. If there is no advantage in using John all the time, the defensive end may become a loophole.

In the end, if Van Gundy played a long-time veteran, John's advantage was too great. He is full of energy, and he is holding back his energy. How can a veteran keep up with him when he rushes up?

Yang Rui intends to take advantage of this. On the defensive end, John does not need to protect the rebounds in the backcourt, and McGrady plays a guest power forward. With his excellent physical condition, McGrady's rebounding efficiency is not inferior to many insiders.

As the game continued, Van Gundy was indeed guessed by Yang Rui and sent a lineup of Ward, Sprewell, Bowen, Oakley, and Ewing.

To strengthen the defense, Van Gundy benched Houston. But Ben Wallace is more athletic than Oakley, blocks shots better, and is good at changing pick-and-rolls, but Van Gundy doesn't use it. He trusts veterans more at critical moments.

What he ignored was that Ewing's physical strength was not much left, and he was selected to the second team of the All-Defensive Team last season, and he was also very dehydrated.

The Raptors had the ball, and Billups took it to the frontcourt and passed it to McGrady, and the player pulled away.

Yang Rui made McGrady the main attack because Carter's off-ball running ability is slightly better, and the three-pointer is more accurate.

McGrady got the ball in the middle, and it was an opportunity to face Sprewell. He didn't do it. He waited for Detref to pick and roll outside the three-point line, and got rid of the ball. Pass Ewing.

Bowen was taken to the side by Carter and couldn't help in the defense, "Madman" chased him, Ewing retreated to the basket, McGrady attracted the attention of the two, jumped up near the penalty area and passed the ball back to the middle.

Detlef made 41.5 percent of his 3-pointers last season, mostly in the middle. He barely made any adjustments when he caught the ball, jumped up lightly, gently moved the ball to the basket with his fingers, and hit the net hollow! 87 to 87.

The Knicks battled, the Raptors shrank, and Detref defended Ewing.

Today, Jermaine O'Neal and Bai Bowen took turns pestering each other, which consumed a lot of Ewing's physical strength. When the stars needed to stand up and score, Ewing was already bored and chose to pass the ball to Sprewell.

The first step of "Madman" is nothing compared to McGrady. When he failed to completely get rid of McGrady, he made an emergency stop and missed the jumper.

The rebound was grabbed by Carter, and he threw it to the frontcourt with one step on the landing zone. John Wallace played his specialty, sprinted to get rid of Oakley, caught the ball near the free throw line, and took a step to score a layup. 89 to 87.

On the Raptors bench, Yang Rui and the substitutes stood up and cheered for the players. Van Gundy frowned and asked for a timeout.

Zhang Lili admired: "John Wallace didn't play for a long time today. His impact played a role at the critical moment, and the veteran's three-pointer was also critical. The Raptors scored 5 points in a row after a timeout. Yang Rui's presence The adaptability is so good, the pressure is on the Knicks."

Sun Zhengping said with a smile: "The Knicks lineup is much better than the Raptors, but the score is behind. Van Gundy is really not Yang Rui's mentor.

"

Regardless of whether he wins or loses the final game, Van Gundy loses, and bystanders feel that his coaching level is not as good as Yang Rui.

The fact is indeed the case, Van Gundy replaced Bowen, replaced Houston, replaced Oakley with Larry Johnson, increased inside mobility and offensive power, regardless of defense.

Ewing, who was the most tired, was still on the court. The offensive tactics arranged by Van Gundy are what Yang Rui left behind. Ewing screens from the side, Houston catches and shoots, and the other three all pull out from the three-point line to attract defense. The man in the middle is Sprewell.

The Raptors also made substitutions on one side, and Jermaine O'Neal replaced Detref. At this time, the team must not only ensure the speed of the defense change, but also guard the basket. O'Neal has fast speed, strong explosive power, better frame protection, and can also defend against going out. This is something that veterans cannot do.

Yang Rui didn't use the tactical board, and said loudly: "Boldly break fast, give play to your speed advantage, we can win this game!"

At the beginning of the game, Jermaine O'Neal switched defenses in a timely manner after Houston moved. Houston failed to get a direct shot and moved two steps laterally to Ewing.

Ewing got the chance to single out Carter. If it was the first quarter, he might have sat on the basket with his back. Now Ewing was exhausted and had no strength in the lower game. He chose to turn around and shoot a jump shot, but he couldn't shake it and missed the basket under Carter's interference.

Shooting in front of Carter is definitely not a good idea. Even a 214CM center like Ewing can still interfere, and he almost blocked the ball. When Carter's body is on his side, his wingspan is 218cm, his in-situ bounce is 91cm, and his run-up bounce is 110cm.

The rebound was grabbed by McGrady on the right, and he immediately looked for his teammates.

Usually the point guard leading the team at this time will choose to press the rhythm and hit the success rate. The Raptors are four people rushing forward together, and even Jermaine O'Neal has a fast break.

McGrady gave Billups, and the latter gave Carter in the middle, forming a dislocation.

After receiving the ball, Carter passed Ewing with one step, and the "gorilla" didn't even pull him. Carter jumped up in three steps from the middle, leaning forward, curling his calf back, and dunking the ball with both hands. 91 to 87.

Sun Zhengping shouted: "Carter jumped too high, he looks like he is flying."

Zhang Lili said: "The Knicks had to make substitutions. Ewing couldn't keep up when the opponent counterattacked. A player like Carter is considered fast among guards. His performance is worthy of the nickname Yang Rui gave him."

Sun Zhengping sighed: "The Raptors have distinct characteristics. The magic weapon for winning is relying on player talent. Van Gundy hasn't changed yet."

Van Gundy hesitated on the sidelines. Ewing won the MVP last season, which made him superstitious about this person's ability. He didn't think Ben Wallace or Oakley could replace him. Without Ewing, the quality of coverage would be much worse.

But if you can't defend against it, what's the point of attacking?

The Knicks played in a hurry. Houston ran to catch the ball and shot a three-pointer, but missed under the interference of O'Neal. McGrady grabbed the rebound from Johnson and hit the ground to the right.

As soon as Johnson grabbed the offensive rebound, he was out of space. John Wallace received a pass from McGrady, misplaced and forced the basket under Sprewell's defense, causing a foul.

John made two free throws, 93 to 87.

The home team was beaten 9-0, with 31.1 seconds left, and Van Gundy finally called a timeout.
