On November 4th, Toronto Sports Station and China's CCTV5 will broadcast live the Raptors' second game at home.

There is no national live broadcast, and there is a clear gap in strength between the two teams. No one is optimistic about the Celtics causing trouble for the Raptors.

After a big victory, the Raptors' home atmosphere is even more enthusiastic. This season, the ticket price has been raised. Fans still see that the season tickets have long been sold out, and there is a tendency to develop into the Devil's home court.

Raptors starting unchanged: Billups, Christie, Carter, O'Neal, Miller.

Focusing on positional warfare, Yang Rui doesn't plan to change the starting lineup frequently, and the core players can play better with a fixed starting lineup.

Celtics Five: Kenny Anderson, Adrian Griffin, Paul Pierce, Antawn Walker, Vitaly Potapenko.

O'Neal jumped the ball to win, Billups took the ball to the front court, Miller pulled out the three-point line, received the pass and turned to face the frame to wait for his teammates to run, O'Neal gave Carter no ball on the left, and the latter Run towards 70 degrees.

This tactical player is already very skilled and has met Yang Rui's requirements.

Adrian joined the NBA non-draft and started the first game of his career, which shows that the Celtics' second position is not deep enough. He is 196cm tall and weighs 100kg. He is very strong and has average speed. He can't catch up with Carter when he bypasses the screener.

Walker hurriedly switched defenses, Carter took the ball and took a step into the middle, and returned the ball to Miller at close range. Miller made an inside pass near the free throw line to the air-cut O'Neal, another small pass.

Vitali is only 208cm tall and weighs 127kg. He moves slowly and has an average wingspan. It is difficult to stop Miller from passing the ball.

Jermaine O'Neal took the ball with his back and turned into the penalty area, leaning on Adrian in the middle, and threw the ball with one hand. 2 to 0.

Adrian didn't lose his position, but there was a gap in height and bounce, and he couldn't block the shot at all. O'Neal couldn't be guarded by just carrying it.

The Celtics attack, and guard Anderson goes upfield and passes the ball to Pierce.

Pitino's idea is to create a twin star forward for the Green Army. Like the Bulls, two people are the main attackers, and the others are the main defenses. But the Bulls are Jordan and Pippen, both offensive and defensive, Pierce and Walker's defense is not good in comparison.

The players all opened up, Pierce was on the right side of the frame, he took a step with his right foot, and stepped forward with his left foot to break through the baseline. Christie judged correctly and followed up from the side, but Pierce had a better physique and squeezed to the basket with him. Jump up before the defense,

Hold the ball with both hands and pull the bar slightly, hit the cricket and score. 2 to 2.

Christie tried his best to jump up but couldn't block it. At this time, Pierce has shown the temperament of a star, has skills, can shoot, and is good at using his body.

Yang Rui didn't arrange for Carter and Pierce to face off, but he knew that in a one-on-one duel, Carter probably couldn't defend against it.

The Raptors attacked, and Billups and Miller played a pick-and-roll in the middle to the right, attracting Vitali to switch defenses and pass back to the middle.

Miller took a glance at the ball, ignored the guard's interference, and made a high mid-range shot. 4 to 2.

Zhang Lili said: "Very simple cooperation, Miller also feels good today."

Partner Sun Zhengping said: "Miller hardly jumps, but a short guard will definitely not be able to cover it. As long as he pulls out, he will be misplaced on the court. This style of play is really very similar to the Kings."

Thibodeau was sitting next to Yang Rui, also talking about Miller.

"How did you find out that Miller can be trained as a playmaker? He was just an undrafted rookie, and now he looks almost like Divac." Thibodeau asked in a low voice.

"His body and IQ are good. Of course, he has to practice and try. I think he is better than Divac. He moves faster when defending and has a wider attack range when attacking. Divac is better than attacking inside, but this does not meet For the Raptors' tactics, it is enough to be able to shoot mid-range and long-range shots." Yang Rui explained proudly.

Thibodeau took out his serious records and prepared to be the head coach in the future, training the center into this type.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Thibodeau liked to support the inside line. He let Noah play as a playmaker. At his peak, he averaged 12.6 points, 11.3 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game.

Princeton is a tactic that uses the top of the arc as the axis to free the outside line for off-ball running. Therefore, the supporting center in the Princeton system plays the role of a decider and is an organizer in a practical sense. Yang Ruixia told the management that Miller must stay, just for this.

The Celtics attacked and Pierce singled out. This time Miller retreated in time and formed a double-team under the basket. Pierce scored the ball to the center. Vitali scored mainly by attacking the basket, the shooting range was too short, and he dared not shoot when he was open. He passed it to Anderson who responded, and the latter made a sudden stop and missed a jumper.

After reading the opponent's information given by the scouts, Thibodeau suggested that Vitaly be shorted. As soon as Miller retreated to the basket, he could control a large area by relying on his height.

All the big men of the Green Army went out, and Miller easily grabbed the backcourt rebound and passed it to Billups, stabilizing the rhythm and playing the position.

Billups is the point guard that Yang Rui wants. He has a high IQ and his defense is getting better and better. He just has a little difficulty defending against the breakthrough of small men, and he is not afraid of being misplaced after the pick-and-roll.

Billups and Miller first picked and rolled outside the three-point line, and took two steps to the right to attract the defense to pass back. Miller received the ball in the middle, faced Anderson without any pressure, held the ball above his head to observe the running position, and gave it to Carter on the left.

Carter relied on O'Neal to cover and get rid of Adrian. Walker changed his defense a little slower and he pulled out. There was no interference in front of him and he hit a three-pointer. 7 to 2.

The Greens attacked, and Walker went to the outside to get the ball and was followed by Jermaine O'Neal. He had no chance to return a three-pointer, and the ball was given to Pierce to single out Christie.

In the Raptors battle, Miller took a step outside the three-point line to help Billups get rid of Anderson. Dodged Anderson's chasing block and went into the net hollow. 10 to 2.

Sun Zhengping said: "It's not a coincidence that the Raptors beat the Heat on the court. They are indeed stronger than last season. The offensive end is almost unstoppable. Everyone is good at shooting and blooming more."

Walker is not tall, the pick-and-roll effect is average, and he is good at shooting three-pointers. Facing O'Neal's bad chance, he distributed the ball. Pierce then relied on his personal ability to break through, and was double-teamed near the penalty area, and was assigned to Vitali, who was emptied again.

Vitali aimed for a mid-range shot and missed it without any interference.

Walker rushed to grab the offensive rebound and was stuck, Miller easily took the rebound, Billups retreated to catch the ball, and landed again.

Miller received the ball in the middle of the organization and gave the ball to O'Neal at close range near the free throw line.

Jermaine O'Neal suddenly made an air cut after covering without the ball. After receiving the pass, he took three steps, pulled the bar to avoid Walker, and scored on the basketball. 12 to 2.

Zhang Lili shouted: "O'Neal's ball is like a small forward. His physical fitness is really good. Walker gave up and didn't jump when he saw the height. If O'Neal was bolder, the ball would be dunked."

There were no three-point opportunities on the outside, Walker went to the low post to catch the ball and attack, and hit the iron under the interference of Jermaine O'Neal. O'Neal has the advantage in height and wingspan. Walker's strength is useless. He can't play in the low post at all.

The Raptors continued to cover from the side, Jermaine O'Neal caught the ball and hit Adrian, the horn turned around and made another jumper! 14 to 2.

More than 3 minutes into the game, Pitino was forced to request a timeout. He was surprised to find that McGrady was not on the court, the Raptors were also a trident, and the positional offense was more difficult to defend than last season's running and bombing!
