After a day off, the Raptors challenged the Rockets away and lost the game 104 to 113, ending the winning streak. E Ω small "say Ww" W. ┡1XIAOSHUO. com

Pippen did not join, and the Rockets were weaker than Yang Rui in his previous life, but they played a wonderful game. The biggest contributors to winning are not veterans Barkley and Olajuwon, but two rookies.

Michael Dixon, the 14th overall pick in the round, and Cutino Mobley, the 41st overall rookie in the second round, became a team as soon as they joined the Rockets, and their performances were eye-catching.

Mobley's 193cm confrontation suffered a disadvantage. This time, Christie and McGrady didn't feel very good. He did not become a defensive loophole.

Dixon failed to defend Carter, performed well on the offensive end, and had a mutual explosion.

The two rookies searched for opportunities on the outside of the screen, responded to the pass and shot immediately or misplaced the attack. The number of ways was similar to that of the Raptors.

The Raptors couldn't defend against the impact of Olajuwon and Barkley one-on-one, so they could only shrink the defensive line to double-team, and there would inevitably be gaps on the periphery. Both Dixon and Mobley made 7 of 9 three-pointers, which is amazingly efficient.

The Raptors' offense is not weak. Carter scored 32 points and 6 assists. Six players from the team scored in double figures, but lost on three-pointers. Role players are terrible when they have convulsions, like superstars.

However, the rocket is not far from disintegration. Both stars are getting old, and they both realize that the Rockets can't win the championship, and even the first round of the playoffs is very difficult.

It's okay for Olajuwon to say that after all, he has two championships in his hand and no lack of personal honor. Barkley has no ring yet, so he has to think about himself in the last years of his career.

With the improvement of the Raptors' record, Yang Rui has strengthened his plan to rest in rotation, appropriately reducing the veteran's playing time.

Detref and Willis are still in good shape, but the playoffs are their stage. The most important thing for them in the regular season is to stay healthy, be the boss in the locker room, and help the rookies.

If the rookie doesn't practice enough, can't show confidence, and can't show his strength when he is nervous in the playoffs, the Raptors will be unlucky.

After Yang Rui analyzed the schedule, he controlled each player to play no more than 30 minutes, and only Carter played longer, averaging 35 minutes per game.

Carter is the only person on the team who hasn't had a rest. This is a test for him and something the core of the team must do. It is never a good thing for a young player to engage in rotation when he first enters the league.

The core must not only have excellent technology, but also have a brave heart,

Those who can lead the team to win in adversity are superstars. As long as Carter withstands the pressure, after this season's training, he will definitely become stronger next season.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Carter was a god of progress. In the second season, he was already a superstar who averaged 25.7 points, 5.8 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game. Now that he has these stronger teammates to attract defense, it is easier for him to get statistics.

On March 27, the Raptors defeated the Spurs 103 to 97 in back-to-back away games.

The Spurs have a good record of 18 wins and 9 losses, mainly relying on the inside twin towers to lead the team, with a balanced offense and defense.

The biggest highlight of this game is that Duncan played against Jermaine O'Neal and Cato. He only scored 7 points, 12 rebounds and 3 blocks. He made 3 of 8 shots and 1 of 2 free throws.

Duncan didn't take many shots, but it was obvious that the Raptors' two rookies interfered with his shooting. From the beginning to the end, Duncan couldn't reach the basket and score easily.

Therefore, more people are optimistic about the Trail Blazers winning the championship. The two insiders they sent are marginal players, but they are both flourishing in the Raptors. The team's inside players are stronger.

The Blazers have stars inside and outside this year. Even if Camby is injured, they still have a guaranteed winning rate. They currently rank in the league with 22 wins and 5 losses. It's a pity that the Blazers' player data is relatively average. Even if they get the best record, no one can get mVp.

On the 28th, when the Raptors played against the Bulls at home again, Yang Rui changed his style of play and focused on rehearsing tactics.

The Raptors kept fast break throughout the game, Jermaine O'Neal gave Billups an off-ball screen from the side to help him catch and shoot, and Christie attracted the defense in the corner. Carter plays pick-and-roll with Miller in the middle, can attack with the ball, pass to the side or break through and return to Miller in the middle.

Billups and Miller do not shoot directly after receiving the ball, but they can also control the ball for secondary organization and patiently look for opportunities.

In the second quarter, the style of play was similar, with Tracy McGrady holding the ball in the middle, Detref in the pick-and-roll, Di Brown on the side, Willis covering, and Ryan Bowen waiting for opportunities in the corner.

Without double-teaming, after the pick-and-roll, McGrady and Carter will use their physical advantages to rush to the basket. The opponent's formation shrinks and double-teams, and it is easy to have opportunities in the bottom corner.

In this game, Bowen played 34 minutes, made 5 of 9 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, scored 14 points and 5 rebounds, and scored a career high.

For Bai Baowen, Yang Rui spent a lot of time training him.

He said to Bowen at the beginning of the season: "Ryan, if you practice the corner three-pointer, as long as you dare to shoot in this position, you are an excellent role player. If you don't dare to shoot, you will be just a lifetime. A blue-collar player with no data will play less than 20 minutes and will only help the team. I hope you will not be a coward and take bold shots on the offensive end.”

Bowen is a very honest and obedient player. He does whatever the coach asks him to do. He arrives at the arena at 8:00 a.m. during training.

Since joining the Raptors, Bowen has been working hard on three-pointers from the right corner. Throw the basket.

Although his shooting percentage is only 33.3%, he doesn't shoot much, which is much better than the Bowen in his previous life who obviously had the ability to shoot but didn't shoot, and finally became a weird blue-collar.

This time Bowen was in a brave state. He not only made two three-pointers, but also made a mid-range shot, and made two baseline layups. One of them pulled the bar to avoid the defense.

The environment makes a person, watching his teammates fly around all day in the team, Bowen learned two tricks and dared to perform.

The Raptors defeated the Bulls 97 to 78, and the defense was not bad after reducing the rhythm. The players had a deeper understanding of tactical running positions.

In the away game against the Cavaliers, the Raptors continued to practice their tactics in positional warfare and scored a high score of 121 to 1o1.

Lithuanian center Ilgauskas was reimbursed for the season due to an ankle injury. "Rain Man" Kemp returned to the NBA arena after a 9-month vacation, turning into a fat man, slow, and defensive black hole.

The leading star is not as good as before, and the strength of the Cavaliers is obviously weakened.

Di Brown had another convulsion, making 8 of 14 three-pointers. Carter only played 28 minutes, scored 14 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists, and won a triple-double in his career.

After three consecutive victories, the Raptors have 21 wins and 9 losses, and their record jumped back to the Eastern Conference list. The Heat have 20 wins and 9 losses, the Knicks and Magic have 21 wins and 10 losses, and the Pacers have 20 wins and 10 losses. The top five records are very close.

The Eagles have 18 wins and 12 losses, and the Pistons have 16 wins and 13 losses.

The Raptors were at the bottom of the Eastern Conference last season. Before the shrinking season was over, they had already won 5 more games than last year. According to many media analysis, Yang Rui has locked in the best coach award of the season in advance!
