Chapter 198 [Break 0 in 3 sections, not a lie]

Substitution for Celtic, Tony Barty in, Vitali Potapenko off.

Batty is fast, can better help defend the penalty area, and can also make mid-range shots. The Raptors can't double-team Pierce at will.

The game continued, Anderson and Batty picked and rolled, misplaced Miller and scored a layup.

In the next round, Anderson attracted Billups to chase and defend, the ball was scored in the middle, and Batty made an open jumper.

Yang Rui immediately made adjustments, replacing Miller with veteran Detref. The Raptors' tactics remained the same, and the speed of changing defense inside was faster. Batty is not a player who is good at attacking the basket. He is very thin, and his main scoring method is mid-range shooting, which can be defended by veterans. Detref is organized in the center, his shots are more accurate, and the formation can still be opened.

The Raptors kept the lead. After 7 minutes of the game, Yang Rui replaced Christie with McGrady and played a triangle attack with Carter and O'Neal. Billups went to the corner.

No matter who is double-teamed by the Green Army, there will be obvious gaps. The two brothers hold the ball and single out, and the others save energy to catch and shoot to ensure the speed of returning to defense.

Adrian is 25 years old. He entered the NBA this year without being drafted. He is a good defensive blue-collar. But the defense is good against ordinary people, and it is not good against Carter. Carter is faster than him, and he can't cover it with a turnaround jumper or a dry catch.

With Superman's physical fitness, Carter can always easily get shooting opportunities.

Seeing that the Celtics were unable to switch defenses, Pierce, Carter, and McGrady began to single-handedly again, making a three-pointer from the outside line, and walking past Walker for a one-handed dunk after the pick-and-roll.

Zhang Lili smiled and said: "This is completely the offensive performance of the Raptors. The Celtics, a traditional strong team, have declined."

Sun Zhengping said: "The two young Raptors stars Carter and Tracy McGrady are always reminiscent of Jordan and Pippen. Back then, the Bulls wanted to trade Pippen for Tracy McGrady. If they changed, they would not have seen such a wonderful game. Now Pippen is just a role player in Portland."

Zhang Lili nodded: "Carter was selected to the All-NBA First Team in his rookie season. This is something that Jordan and Magic Johnson did not do. He is already a superstar."

President David Stern followed the text live broadcast through the Internet and was very satisfied with the performance of the Raptors star.

Assistant Adam Silva asked with a smile: "David, it seems that the Raptors will focus on offense throughout the season. After the game, will they promote Carter with the slogan of Jordan's genuine successor?"

"Propaganda, don't forget to mention Jerry Young,

The nickname of 'half-human, half-god' was all he came up with. To promote McGrady as Pippen, it is enough for Jordan to have one. " Stern smiled.

Stern is more and more optimistic about Yang Rui.

He is only 25 years old, and joining the Knicks made the team the first in the league in offensive power; coaching the underdog Raptors, he is also the first in offensive power; what is even more frightening is his vision and ability to train new players. Can I bring it too?

Stern had a premonition that the style of the NBA game would undergo major changes because of Yang Rui, and those diehards who emphasized defense would be thrown into the trash sooner or later.

The Raptors led 38 to 27 in the first quarter, and their defensive performance in the second half was mediocre.

In the second quarter, Yang Rui sent Curry, Hornacek, McGrady, Detref, and Cato.

Boykins and Jumaine continued to be on the bench. D'Antoni suggested reusing Boykins, and his proposal to play his pick-and-roll offensive characteristics was rejected.

Yang Rui chatted while watching the game: "Mike, I don't use Earl, are you a little disappointed? If you have any doubts, don't keep them in your heart, you can speak them out, and I will explain."

D'Antoni has worked with Yang Rui from the training camp to the present, has seen the atmosphere in the Raptors locker room, and knows that Yang Rui likes to put his words on the table, so he is not hypocritical, and asked: "I really don't understand. Earl played well in the preseason, why didn't you give him a chance to perform?"

"First, Curry is an experienced veteran who just joined and performed well in the Bucks last season. If he is not allowed to play in order to train rookies, he must feel uncomfortable. Second, Earl's defense is too poor, and the opponent's inside pick-and-roll After the air cut, he is a colander, and we can't completely give up defense for the sake of offense. Third, Earl is a surprise player in the team. When the opponent's lineup is suitable for him, I will naturally reuse him." Yang Rui smiled.

"I see, thank you for your explanation." D'Antoni turned to look at Thibodeau, stunned: "What are you doing?"

"Write it down, I suggest you also remember it, otherwise you only attack but not defend, would any team dare to ask you to be the head coach?" Thibodeau said seriously.

"..."

D'Antoni was pretty speechless. He is 7 years older than Thibodeau. He coached the Milan team in Italy in 1990. He has been coaching for nearly 10 years. He has also coached in the ABA and NBA. Asking him to record what a young man said, he really couldn't do it. Yang Rui was about the same age as his son.

But D'Antoni must also admit that Yang Rui is indeed very strong, and he has a comprehensive view of the problem. This makes him deeply stimulated. He has failed too much for most of his life.

Under the leadership of McGrady, the Raptors widened the point difference to 21 points. McGrady hit two three-pointers in the middle, and the results of summer training began to show.

Breaking through the penalty area to shoot or shoot three-pointers and reduce long-range mid-range shots is Yang Rui's request to the players of the team. Yang Rui clearly told McGrady that if he wants to make a move, he should shoot a three-pointer and increase the shooting range. McGrady has already improved compared to Yang Rui's previous life at the same time.

McGrady, the peak of the Magic period, also has a lot of long-range mid-range shots and offensive methods that reduce efficiency. When he was in the Rockets, Van Gundy let him use the one-step jumper inside the three-point line as a magic weapon. Yang Rui's tactics made McGrady more efficient offensively.

McGrady scored three three-pointers in a single quarter and scored 20 points in the half, the team's highest score. Carter scored 17 points, Jermaine O'Neal also scored 14 points, and the three led the Raptors to a 78-52 lead.

In the second half, the Green Army players still couldn't defend, and there was always one of the Tridents who could play singles.

Batty can't go back following Miller. Once Jr. O'Neal and Carter cover, the guard can shoot directly from the outside, or misplaced to the basket, which is simple and effective.

Christie also played well in this quarter, hitting two three-pointers from the bottom corner. The Raptors missed the point guard and attacked Anderson, who is 183cm tall.

The Celtics' defense line, which was not strong, was rushed to pieces, which was inferior to the athletic ability, even the best Pierce.

110 to 75 entered the final quarter, the Celtics team lost their temper against the Raptors, and the five potential new stars all sat on the bench and got off work early.

Carter had 26 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists; McGrady had 29 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists; O'Neal had 20 points, 7 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 blocks; Billups had 16 points and 5 assists; Miller also had 12 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists.

Even if the ability of the Raptors' young players has not yet reached the peak of their careers, it is not something the Celtics can deal with. Moreover, the core of the Green Army is also very young, and the depth of the lineup is quite poor.

David Nelly of Toronto Sports Station exclaimed: "It seems that Jerry Young is not talking big. The Raptors easily broke 100 points in three quarters. They really want to rely on offense to blow up the entire league!"
