The Raptors ran out of 24 seconds to attack, Carter made a misplaced breakthrough and forced a layup, and missed the basket under the interference of Grant. EΩΔ┡ Xiao』Δ说Ww』W.ん1XIAOSHUO. com

The players quickly returned to the defense and blocked the penalty area, and the magic of positional warfare had nothing to do. Nearly running out of 24 seconds, Austin stormed the basket, and the hook missed under the interference.

With his excellent mid-range shooting skills, Austin won the title of "Arizona State Karl Malone" during his college years. He was selected by the Utah Jazz with the 21st overall pick in the second round of 1991. His talent was not outstanding, but with his acquired efforts, he won the NBA Most Improved Player of the Year in 1997.

Unfortunately, Austin's good form lasted only two seasons. After the lockout ended, his height soared to 122kg at a height of 208cm. His movement speed was slower than before. It was difficult to get good mid-range shots and he needed his teammates to attract defense. .

With Cato, the Raptors have improved a lot in the penalty area, and there is no one who can't resist.

In this positional battle, Di Brown immediately shot after receiving a pass from Carter. Austin switched defenses with slight interference, and the ball bounced out of the frame.

DiBrown's playing rhythm is relatively poor, he is not a point guard at all, his teammates have just covered, no one cuts, and no one grabs a rebound when he makes a shot.

The Magic wanted to counterattack, and Christie defended Harperin from receiving the ball close to him, preventing the fast break. The Magic lacks point guards who can pass the ball accurately, and they dare not pass risky balls that are prone to mistakes, so they have to fall back.

Passing back and forth, as soon as 24 seconds, Hardaway singled out Christie, and missed the interference of the emergency stop jumper.

The Magic averaged only 89 points per game in the regular season. Hardaway, the team's leading scorer, played 39 minutes and only scored 15.8 points, which was very inefficient. No player in the Magic has the ability to attract double-teams. Their way to win is to defend and grind a little bit with their opponents.

After 3 minutes, the score between the two sides is still 0 to 1.

Yang Rui made a substitution first, Di Brown went off and Billups came on, Cato went off and Detref was replaced.

No matter how well the players defended, it wasn't the game Yang Rui wanted. The offensive end of the ball couldn't work, which gave him a headache. In this way, Jermaine O'Neal has to defend Austin, and the confrontation will be more difficult, depending on his tenacity.

Chuck Daly felt disdainful when he saw Yang Rui's substitution.

Sure enough, he was an impetuous young man. He changed two people in just three minutes. How could he do that?

Yang Rui had another idea,

It's not too late to make up for it, and you must dare to admit mistakes in employing people, and then use a more reasonable way to win.

Watching the Magic's offense during this period, he felt that it could still be defended if they changed players, but if they didn't change players, it would be difficult for their own offense to open up.

Yang Rui made the right bet.

The Magic's players on the field are terrible at three-pointers, and the offense mainly relies on misplaced breakthroughs after pick-and-rolls. The four of the Raptors blocked the penalty area, whether it was a strong man or a thin man, the difference was not big.

Austin will encounter help defense when receiving the ball in the low post. There is no time to fight O'Neal one-on-one and hit the basket. Harpring is facing Carter, and his height and strength are similar.

None of the Magic's players could easily get rid of the defense. Hardaway was double-teamed when he broke through, and the ball was distributed. Armstrong missed three consecutive outside shots.

On the other hand, after the Raptors substituted, the formation was completely opened up. Billups singled out Armstrong with a physical advantage, and he could directly attack with the ball from the outside.

At the end of the quarter, the Raptors led 25 to 2o.

In the second quarter, Christie, who rested for six minutes, played to guard against the Magic's No. 2 scorer Nick Anderson. The other two outsiders were Di Brown and McGrady, and Cato and Bai Bowen partnered inside.

Veteran Willis is rested, he and Cato can't play together, it is more reasonable to have a Bowen lineup that can be stretched.

Magic's backup center, Michael Doriak, a white center with a height of 211cm and a weight of 117kg, was guarded by Cato. He was the twelfth overall pick in 1998. He was obviously taller. He played softly, couldn't get into the low post, and his mid-range shooting percentage was mediocre.

Substitute power forward Bootelo is not sure about his shots, and his free throw percentage is only 43.2%. He can't open up space, and it is enough to hand over the inside to Cato.

The Raptors also introduced the comeback old star Dominique Wilkins in the summer, but it was useless. The "human movie essence" was out of shape and could no longer move.

McGrady singled out Anderson and scored 4 points. Christie made a three-pointer, broke through Wilkins with the ball, attracted the defense and then scored the ball, and assisted Cato to score with a dunk.

After the 9-o shock wave, Daly was forced to request a timeout.

In the second half, Hardaway and Anderson were on the court together, Harprin played power forward, and the Magic used small ball tactics to strengthen their offense. The Raptors have the same small-ball tactics, switch defenses quickly in pick-and-rolls, and the defense in the penalty area is impenetrable.

The Raptors' positional warfare is more efficient, and Carter, McGrady, and Billups are all open. At the end of the half, the Raptors led 49 to 29, and the Toronto commentators couldn't believe it.

David sighed: "Today the Raptors did a great job of defending. They strictly guarded the penalty area. The Magic have nothing to do."

Clark laughed: "Jerry Young wants to prove today that the Raptors can also rely on defense to win?"

Throughout the second quarter, the Magic scored 9 points, and the core star Hardaway was completely blocked.

When Hardaway was one-on-one, McGrady and Christie tried to force him to move to the left, because his shots on the left side were not as accurate as those on the right;

McGrady also used his height to limit his passing and maintained physical confrontation. After Hardaway was seriously injured, the confrontation would create a certain amount of psychological pressure on him and disrupt the offensive rhythm.

When Hardaway relies on screens to run away from the ball, Detref and Bowen at No. 4 will use their experience to defend and force Hardaway away from the basket.

When Hardaway asked for the ball from the wing, Billups and Tracy McGrady stepped forward to double-team and empty the point guard.

The Achilles' heel of the Magic was seized by the Raptors. There is no outstanding point guard in the team, otherwise Armstrong would not be. The only stable three-point shooter on the field is Anderson, who is taken care of.

After falling behind by a big score, Chuck Daly couldn't hold back his face. He talked to the players in the locker room during the halftime break, emphasizing defense.

"This is not the defensive strength that the Magic should have. Don't you guys play softer than the Raptors? Be tough, otherwise we won't win. Strengthen the confrontation in the second half and disrupt their shooting rhythm closely. If you make a foul, you will commit it severely."

In the locker room of the home team, Yang Rui happened to propose a countermeasure.

"Everyone did a perfect job in the first half. In the second half, we continued to defend three-pointers. If they defend fiercely during offense, you can get free throws by flopping. Be careful not to be provoked, let alone fight."

The players listened very carefully.

Yang Rui said again: "Chauncey, don't flop, the defender against you is 183cm, use his body to shoot when he has an opportunity. Others, especially Harprin, if they fall down, the referee is likely to call a foul. That guy Just rookies, this is our home field!"

A good coach must not only be able to arrange tactics, but also take advantage of all available advantages. Yang Rui included the home whistle.
