The Pope of Basketball Community

Chapter 181 [Although the defeat is glorious, the horror record]

This lore dunk made Carter attract countless fans, and the media didn't think it was too much to praise him.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Dwyane Wade entered the fans' field of vision with a playoff lore and started his legendary life. Wade was only the first game against the Hornets in the playoffs, and Carter's lore contained more gold.

In addition, Carter won the best rookie in the regular season, and the limelight completely overshadowed Kobe of the Lakers. Fans recognized his identity as Jordan's successor and hoped that he could take one step closer.

However, the mental and physical fitness of the Raptors players is reaching their limit.

In the fifth game, even though Yang Rui carefully arranged the tactics, the Raptors were still suppressed by the opponent at the beginning.

Fast-break tactics require physical strength to complete. The Raptors played a game of overtime. The physical strength of the Raptors players was exhausted, and they could not make up for it in one day.

Kevin Cato and John Thomas were hidden by Yang Ruixue in this series. Both of them are strong insiders, and they were deflated against the two highly mobile insiders of the Heat. Pat Riley grabbed the weaknesses of the two and stormed.

Brad Miller is inexperienced, his ability to control rebounds is poor in the playoffs, his shots are not firm, and he can't help the team too much.

Including Di Brown who is injured and absent, the Raptors mainly have 9 players left in the rotation. Bai Bowen is still a pure blue-collar, and there are only three reliable insiders.

Both veterans are tired, and their playing time in the two rounds of the playoffs has increased to more than 30 minutes, and their strength is not as good as Mourning and PJ Brown.

The Heat's road to promotion is easier than that of the Raptors. Coupled with Riley's extremely slow defensive style, the Heat only shoot about 70 shots in a game, and the players know how to allocate energy.

People are still reminiscing about Carter's wonderful goal, and the Heat won the match point 101 to 84.

Without the Raptors with a sharp fast break, it is not the team with the strongest attack power.

Returning to the home court in the sixth game, Yang Rui's agency counted, and asked McGrady to arrange for the outside core players to make bold shots and compete with the opponent's talent. He also arranged tactics for Cato in the second quarter, allowing him to rely on his height and weight to attack the basket. bad.

Cato has a certain scoring ability. He averaged 14.5 minutes per game in the Trail Blazers playoffs last season, scoring 6.5 points and 3 rebounds. But this game was too important, he couldn't let go of his hands and feet, and he didn't play at the level of training.

Carter, McGrady, and Billups have mediocre touches outside the three-point line, resulting in the Raptors' weak offense.

Di Brown was absent, and the Raptors did not have a particularly fast guard to defend Tim Hardaway. Using the method of shrinking the defense to the penalty area, Hardaway scored three three-pointers.

90 to 103, the Raptors lost at home, and the total score of 2 to 4 stopped the Eastern Conference Finals.

David Stern wanted the Raptors to enter the finals, so they got a little preferential treatment in this game, leading 34 to 20 in free throws. It's a pity that McGrady feels too bad today. He made 5 of 12 free throws and made people a little speechless.

McGrady did not perform well at the free throw line throughout the playoffs. He averaged 8.8 free throws per game and only made 5.5 of them, with a shooting percentage of 62.3%. He increased his breakthroughs and increased his lethality in the playoffs, but lost to the touch.

At the press conference, Yang Rui calmly faced the defeat and said with a smile: "There is nothing to be depressed about. Everyone has done very well. We have won one more game than the Trail Blazers in the West. It is an honor to lose. Even Jordan , and didn’t win a championship as soon as he entered the league.”

The reporter asked: "Which team do you think will win the championship?"

"Of course it's the Spurs." Yang Rui didn't believe that the Heat could beat the Spurs.

Even if history is different from his previous life.

The Blazers are embarrassing enough this year, with more Pippen on the team, they only won one more game than Yang Rui's previous life, to avoid being swept away.

The Blazers seem to be strong, but they are actually similar to the Lakers' weaknesses. They lack three-point shooters, and the most reliable three-pointer is "Little Flying Squirrel" Damon Stoudemire.

Pippen is a blacksmith on the offensive end, and his performance in the playoffs was disappointing. He shot 41.3% from the field and 27.3% from the three-point range. He averaged 5.5 three-pointers per game and only made 1.5 of them.

The Spurs entered the playoffs as if they were hanging, averaging 93.2 points per game and only conceding 84.1 points. Duncan and Robinson turned the entire restricted area into a no-fly zone. It's impossible to beat the Spurs without a pitcher on the team.

Yang Rui didn't go home immediately, and went to have supper with Stana Katic.

While eating Singaporean red bean ice, he received a call from Nina Dobrev.

Nina is probably the happiest person in Toronto in this playoffs. Losing is not a big deal. She said excitedly, "Jerry, do you know how many cookies I sold?"

"How many?"

"20,000 boxes, I have already broken the historical record of Girl Scouts, a radio reporter will interview me tomorrow, can I mention your name, thank you?" Nina was very excited on the other end of the phone.

"sure……"

Hearing this number, Yang Rui was very surprised. Nina has been selling biscuits for eight home games, and she has set a terrifying record. It is equivalent to all the fans buying a box. The original record was only 15,000.

"Hahaha, I will say a lot of good things about you."

After hanging up the phone, Stana asked curiously, "Female?"

"You've seen it before, the kid selling biscuits on the sidelines, met me with nosebleeds twice, and the third time I was hit by a doorknob with a big bag on my head. In order to make up for it, I suggested to the management to let her sell it at the stadium. Cookies."

"Oh." Stana was visibly relieved.

Yang Rui smiled and said, "Don't worry, I can show you my phone number. There are only three women in total, and besides you are two children. Otherwise, I wouldn't have an affair with Tom."

Stana laughed: "Is he always away from Toronto to avoid scandal?"

"It's for work, and the other is to give us a space to be alone. We have wasted all his hard work. Don't you go back to school today?"

"No, I have an exam soon... this semester is very important, don't force me, okay?" Stana said with a blushing face.

"Then it's settled, when you have a vacation, go on vacation with me."

"Hey, when did I promise you to go on vacation?" Stana smiled and said, "I'm still going home."

"Then go to your house for vacation, easy."

In any case, Yang Rui will ask Stana to go out to play this summer, so as to make the relationship go further. It's normal not to be able to fall in love with a child, but this is an adult, and it's just too tragic that he can't be intimate all the time.

It's just that Stana is a top student with a conservative personality, which is totally different from most American girls.

When she is in a state of confusion, she will always persuade herself not to get hotheaded, but to keep calm, sobriety and prudence are the most important, and there is a price to be paid for stealing the forbidden fruit. Her view of love is to reserve a long time to test the other party, and she refuses to believe that the other party will really be responsible for her. To be on the safe side, she will not eat the forbidden fruit first.

Moreover, she thinks that since the shameful thing is so tempting, it must be very beautiful and enjoyable, and the most beautiful thing must wait until the end to do it. She definitely has this patience, every time Yang Rui makes such a request, she will politely refuse, or find an excuse to delay it.

Yang Rui is already going crazy, what is his fate? .
