After playing a few games, Yang Rui will use Kato correctly. Put him in charge of rebounding, blocking shots, guarding the paint, doing the work of Mutombo, Mourning, and Ben Wallace.

The Raptors' outside players have good physical fitness, and they are not defensive black holes. If they keep playing like this, Cato's data will definitely increase significantly.

The Pistons relied on defense to win the game, conceding only 87 points per game, and the two sides started a blacksmith show.

McGrady and Carter's three-point shooting percentages are in the early 30s, so they have to practice. Billups is strictly guarded and has no chance to make a good shot. The two teams scored mainly by heads-up.

After a lot of ironing, Cato was relieved. The Pistons have mediocre inside rebounding abilities. Bisson Dele is 206cm, weighs 109kg, and lacks bounce. Don Reid is strong enough at 116 kg, and his height is only 203 cm. He is not an opponent of Cato in the card position.

In the second half, Yang Rui sent Jermaine O'Neal to protect the penalty area, which was more effective.

Cato made two shots in a single quarter and scored 4 points, 9 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block, including 3 offensive rebounds. He didn't score much, but he guarded the penalty area well, and the Pistons couldn't get to the basket at all.

The Raptors' offense relies on the trident, playing like the Big Three of the Heat in the future, and opening up the star heads-up. Playing the most trained players like this, no matter who defends, just do it!

The Raptors led 26-20 in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, O'Neal Jr. and John Thomas formed the inside line, with Christie, Alvin, and Di Brown on the outside.

The Raptors got a rebound in the backcourt, and the three made a fast break. In the positional battle, O'Neal pulled out to pick and roll, and Thomas attacked the basket in a low post.

Yang Rui's change of lineup had the effect of Tian Ji's horse racing.

Pistons substitute center Eric Montrose is 213 cm tall and weighs 122 kg. He moves slowly and cannot return to fast break defenses.

Eric was off the field, the Pistons didn't have a meat shield inside, and they couldn't defend the penalty area well. Another insider, Kristen Laettner, is 211cm tall and weighs 107cm, which is about the same as O'Neal. Jerome Williams is 206cm tall and weighs only 93kg.

The same height of 206cm, Thomas 120kg, Jerome couldn't handle the low attack, and was easily scored by the opponent into the penalty area.

As soon as the Pistons shrunk, Di Brown made two consecutive three-pointers from the outside.

The Pistons relied on Joe Dumars to score 4 points, and the Raptors hit a 14-4 shock wave, widening the point difference.

As soon as Hill and Stackhouse came back, the Raptors began to grind their positions again. This Pistons' ability to break the contraction defense was very poor, and they averaged only 90 points per game.

In the second half, the Raptors continued to strictly guard the penalty area and maintained their advantage, and finally won 111 to 87.

Cato played 35 minutes, made 5 of 6 shots, 2 of 4 free throws, scored 12 points, 21 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 blocks. The number of rebounds hit a career high.

In the core competition between the two sides, McGrady made 6 of 14 shots, 2 of 6 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, 19 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists.

Carter made 6 of 16 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, 3 of 4 free throws, 16 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists.

Hill scored the most points for the Pistons, making 5 of 8 shots and 8 of 10 free throws. He scored 18 points, 9 rebounds and 7 assists.

Stackhouse made 6 of 15 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, 2 of 3 free throws, 16 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists.

In the substitute competition, the Raptors won. Di Brown had 19 points and 4 assists, and Jermaine O'Neal had 16 points and 5 rebounds. No Pistons bench scored in double figures.

Clark commented: "After this game, the basketball experts and reporters who said that the Raptors' good record is accidental can shut up. After 5 consecutive losses, they played a wave of 4 consecutive victories, and it was three games in three days. I got it."

David said: "The reason for the Raptors' loss is the rookie wall and physical fitness. Now Yang Rui rests two rotation players every game to recover their physical strength. And after Cato's arrival, they can not only break fast, but also play positions. war,

Fight defense with the opponent. I think the Raptors have gotten better. "

At the press conference, Yang Rui became the focus of the audience again.

Carter, who currently scores the most points in the Raptors, averaged only a little over 20 points per game. In contrast, Yang Rui's tactics are more attractive, and he helped another team's rookie data explode.

Yang Rui first commented on the game. "I want to praise Kevin, Tracy, Vince, they did everything I asked for. Kevin is the center that the Raptors need. I firmly believe this. I am very satisfied with his performance. dominance."

The reporter asked: "A lot of people say that the Raptors can't win the championship only by attacking. What do you think?"

Yang Rui smiled and said: "I suggest that people who say these things watch the game more. Does watching the game cost electricity? Is there any team in the NBA that only attacks and does not defend? Wait for a star to win 50 or 60 points against the Raptors." When it's time to divide, let them say this again."

The reporter asked: "What do you predict the Raptors will achieve this year?"

"I don't know, and I don't predict. It doesn't matter what the result is. The key is that everyone should have fun. I still have that idea-happy basketball!"

Yang Rui seized the opportunity to decompress the players. It was impossible to say that he didn't care about the record. The team was in trouble. During the five-game losing streak, he never had a snack on the sidelines.

In the next game against the underdog Clippers, Yang Rui felt that he could eat happily.

The next day, the major media mentioned the Raptors' winning streak, as well as the Portland Trail Blazers' player injuries.

On the same day, Camby sprained his knee in the Trail Blazers game against the Mavericks and will miss 4-6 weeks. This casts a shadow over the Blazers' road to the championship.

Not long after the Blazers laughed at the Raptors, they were watched by other teams. The four big insiders became three. They had to give the marginal man Michael Stewart playing time and let John Wallace top the No. 4 for a certain period of time. bit.

Regarding Camby's injury, Yang Rui is not surprised at all. In his previous life, Camby was a famous glass man in the NBA.

Although he has not been reimbursed for the season, the characteristic of Camby's injury lies in the long time span. From the beginning of his career to his retirement, various injuries have plagued him intermittently. If it is converted, he has 17 seasons in his career, every season He has missed nearly 30 games on average.

And the Trail Blazers where Camby belongs has a famous feature-the curse of the center!

This strange thing started 30 years ago. In 1974, the Blazers selected Bill Walton. He only played 35 games in the first year and only 30 games in the second year.

Walton has never played a full season in his career. Injuries are commonplace for him. There is only one season in which he helped the team play 65 games. This season, the Blazers won the championship.

In 1984, the Blazers skipped superstars such as Jordan and Barkley, and selected Sam Bowie, who was considered a future super center. Unexpectedly, he was a sick child, and he was plagued by injuries since the second season.

After that, Sabonis, Oden, Przybilla, Meyers Leonard and other centers all suffered from injuries and injuries.

The best is the former Warriors center, the slugger Azeri. In the summer of 2016, he was reimbursed as soon as he joined the Trail Blazers with a high salary. He didn't play a game next season, and people didn't know what happened to him.

Camby and the Trail Blazers are so good, if he doesn't change teams, he will be lucky.
