Iverson played super-level outside the three-point line, and still lost in this soaring point battle.

McBrin commented: "McGrady stole the limelight and proved that he is also a star. The 76ers have nothing to do with him throughout the game."

Fraser said: "It is estimated that Jerry Young will have to say that McGrady lost to garbage time after the game. If he played more time, he is likely to score 50+ today. Even so, he also set a career high in scoring in a single game. .”

Breen said: "The Raptors' offense is too strong. In addition to the talent of the players, the most terrifying thing is the long-range shot. Almost all role players can shoot three-pointers. The rush shot during the counterattack is hard to guard against. Keeping this state, they are really likely to win the championship. .”

The final score was 120 to 93. The Raptors won at home. Six players from the team scored in double figures and made a total of 20 three-pointers.

Out of etiquette, Larry Brown came on stage and shook hands with Yang Rui, turned his head and left without saying a word.

Brown was a bit discouraged, just like Chuck Daly last year, he tried his best to build a defensive system but couldn't defend it at all, which was too much of a blow to a coach whose defense is king.

Until the end of the game, Brown couldn't figure out how to limit the Raptors' trident, unless Iverson was not allowed to play and replaced with a good defensive player, then the 76ers would not be able to attack.

At the press conference, the reporter asked Yang Rui to evaluate the 76ers. Yang Rui said: "The 76ers have strength, but the Raptors are stronger, so it is normal to win."

Yang Rui didn't pick his opponent's thorns, and Brown was still very uncomfortable when he heard it, as if to say: "If you meet in the playoffs, you can wait to go home and go fishing."

The reporter also asked Brown to comment on the Raptors. He said: "The Raptors players have the strongest impact in the league, and the potential of the core players is terrifying. They are stronger than last season."

The reporter asked: "What height do you think McGrady can reach?"

Brown thought for a while and replied: "He is at the same level as Carter and Iverson. As long as he is given enough possessions, he will become a super scorer."

This evaluation will increase McGrady's worth. After the season, the Raptors will definitely have to spend a lot of thought if they want to renew their contract.

Of course, even if Brown doesn't say it, McGrady's talent can be seen by others, let alone the professional scouts of each team?

In Yang Rui's previous life, McGrady averaged 15.4 points per game, and the Magic still offered a maximum salary. This is an inevitable problem for the Raptors. The team has many potential players to renew.

Brown considered communicating with the 76ers management,

Trade with other teams as soon as possible in exchange for scoring role players, otherwise it will be difficult to make it to the playoffs with the current lineup.

Brown is a little envious of Yang Rui. It is very lucky to bring a potential team like the Raptors as soon as he enters the league. He also forgot that a year ago, even if the Raptors paid a high salary to hire him, he would not come.

Yang Rui gave the team a day off. On Sunday, he called Stana for a foursome with Thomas and his new girlfriend.

There is no media talking about "comrade" anymore, even if the two of them are gay in the fourth episode of "Friends Season 6" and they are full of jokes, no fans believe this anymore.

Yang Rui often shows affection with Stana in public. Thomas is also famous because of Yang Rui. His girlfriend has changed again and again, and the suspicion has been completely cleared.

On the 16th, the Raptors beat the Pistons 101 to 85 at home, achieving 7 consecutive victories.

Miller continued to truce because of his knee, Detref took turns to rest, and the ball movement was a little weaker in positional battles, but the Raptors' defense improved.

Christie, who returned to the starting lineup, defended Hill as a blacksmith. He made 4 of 15 shots and no free throws. He only scored 8 points, 5 rebounds and 10 assists.

Kevin Willis is old and strong, and Cato guarded the penalty area very well, and the rebounds are all over the Pistons.

Carter scored 24 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists, Jermaine O'Neal scored 24 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 4 blocks. McGrady also scored 17 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists.

On the 18th, the Raptors challenged the Wizards away. The players were in a sluggish state and only made 13 of 38 shots from beyond the three-point line.

Luckily, the Wizards sucked. They had 1 win and 7 losses before. With the performance of Hornacek and Detref, the Raptors took care of the Wizards in the last quarter, with a score of 96 to 92.

Detlef was always able to move the ball to the right position at the end of the quarter, and his inside support tactics were played smoothly. He assisted Carter twice to score, and once assisted Cato to cut the basket and scored 2+1.

Hornacek received breakthrough points from Carter and McGrady and made two priceless three-pointers.

When Hornacek arrived in the Raptors, he didn't take a particularly good opportunity. He averaged 15 minutes per game, scoring 7.4 points, 1.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists, shooting 49.2% from the field and 47.8% from the three-point range.

Although the statistics are mediocre, he has done the work arranged by Yang Rui. He can make 1.8 three-pointers in a game, almost all of which are outside the three-point line.

On November 19, the Raptors defeated the Clippers 129 to 103 at home, another big victory.

Carter scored 35 points, but the player who attracted the most attention this time was not him, but center Brad Miller.

Miller played 34 minutes and set a new career scoring high. He made 11 of 17 shots, 4 of 6 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, scored 30 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists, his second triple-double this season.

Because Miller is an undrafted rookie and the opponent's center is the No. 1 pick, he showed a strong desire to play against the Clippers.

He pulled to the perimeter to organize the offense, shooting mid-range and long-range shots, which caused headaches for all teams. The small man defended him from shooting, and the big man defended him from passing.

In Yang Rui's previous life, after the 2016 season, centers such as Cousins, the Gasol brothers, and Lopez were all able to pull out to support additional three-pointers and make room for the outside line, which has become a common tactic in the league. If the big man can't support with both hands, he can't be called the core of the inside line, he can only be a blue-collar.

In this era, there are only a handful of insiders who can do this, and Miller ranks among the top three center forwards.

Clippers center Olavokandi is just a blue-collar worker who doesn't know what to support and doesn't shoot well. He made six fouls in 15 minutes of playing. After the misplacement, he couldn't prevent Carter and McGrady from breaking through, so he could only use fouls to prevent them from reaching the basket. The statistics were poor 2 points and 1 rebound.

After being defended to death by Cato last season, "Sugar Man" was cleaned up by Miller again.

After the game, many media ridiculed Olavokandi as useless, and the Los Angeles media even called him "the most water champion in history". The Clippers management basically gave up hope.

There are a lot of news about Olavokandi on the Internet, some are true and some are false.

News broke that, as an insider, he was afraid of being hit by the ball and dared not grab a rebound.

There is also news that the Clippers hired Kareem Abdul-Jabbar with a high salary to teach Olavokandi the hook, but Olavokandi dismissed it. With his pathetic shooting percentage of barely over 40% in two seasons, I really don't know how he can dismiss the "Sky Hook".

In stark contrast is Miller, a floor big who no one cares about in the draft. Last season, he could only be a marginal player.

The Chinese media mentioned Yang Rui, using the headline "Turn waste into gold" and listed the rookies he brought with the Knicks and Raptors. Many undrafted rookies and problematic players who are not favored have all played well under his hands.

To judge whether the coach is successful or not, training newcomers is also a major basis.

The abc radio station that doesn't like Yang Rui doesn't know how to hack him. Even someone like Miller can be trained to become a star. Yang Rui is going against the sky.
