Chapter 222 [Top 10 defense? Shocking! 】

Yang Rui has repeatedly emphasized attacking to win and gaining popularity for the team.

In fact, the Raptors' defense is not bad, but the transition between offense and defense is quick, and they often bring up the opponent's rhythm. When running, they mainly focus on one-on-ones in various positions. The more shots they take, the more points they will lose.

The only defensive weakness of the Raptors is the point guard. With Billups absent, the No. 1 position is a bit awkward.

The two veterans are slow and poor in dribbling. They have difficulty dealing with large defenders on the defensive end. They have difficulty dribbling the ball through half the court on the offensive end. The task of dribbling the ball has to be left to Carter and McGrady. Boykins is too short and is in the air on the defensive end.

On the 17th, the Raptors defeated the Hornets 1o4 to 95 in an away game. The Raptors did a good job in interior defense. Veteran Coleman was guarded by O'Neal Jr., and Elden Campbell failed to get any advantage from Miller.

On the 19th, the Raptors challenged the Celtics away from home.

Carter was in average form this game, focusing on breakthrough points and reducing the number of shots he took. He made 3 of 11 shots, 4 of 4 three-pointers, and 5 of 6 free throws. He only had 11 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists.

The trio of Tracy McGrady, O'Neal Jr., and Curry won 1o5 to 94.

Yang Rui encouraged Carter to take more shots and produce good data to compete for MVP, but he found that Carter was not like Iverson. He would not take crazy shots in every game. If his hands were not good, he would look for the touch. If his hands were cold, he would choose to adjust the pass. .

The current Carter is somewhat different from Yang Rui's previous life. His statistics are slightly lower than in the second season, and his efficiency is higher. His overall shooting rate is 5o.3%, and his three-point shooting rate is 4o.7%.

Because his teammates are strong, Carter gets more good one-on-one offensive opportunities. Also because his teammates are strong, Carter doesn't have to bear too much responsibility when his condition is sluggish.

There are advantages and disadvantages to a player being unselfish. Carter is not stable. Sometimes he scores three or forty points in a game, and sometimes he scores ten points in a game. Relying on the combination of sudden shooting and shooting, his statistics are very comprehensive, and his shooting percentage and efficiency are higher than the two major stars Grant Hill and Gary Payton.

Back at home, the Raptors meet the challenge of the Sounds.

Yin is still a strong team under the leadership of Payton, with 27 wins and 14 losses.

However, Yin's weaknesses are obvious. The offense relies too much on the pick-and-roll of the two stars Payton and Vinbeck. It lacks changes and does not score much. It relies on the defensive end to suppress the opponent's efficiency to win the game.

Yin and Yang Rui have not changed much from their previous lives, they are still the same people. Rashard Lewis has improved significantly compared to last season, but his defense is average and he is just an ordinary role player who needs to continue to train.

After the game started, Payton broke through and scored, made emergency jump shots, stepped back for three-pointers, and was omnipotent. He made all 5 shots to lead the team to the lead and taught Christie how to behave.

Now that Payton is at his peak, Christie cannot deal with him one-on-one. Christie can only open up on the offensive end and attract defenses with Hornacek.

Several Raptors players played as point guards, but none of them performed as well as Billups on the court.

A few minutes later, the Raptors stabilized the situation.

Wen Baker had no advantage against O'Neal Jr., and failed to score in several singles. After the pick-and-roll, the Raptors players were tall and did a good job of interfering with shots, and Yin was guarded inside.

In turn, Miller moved to the outside to organize in the middle. After making space, Carter made consecutive cuts and scored jump shots.

Although Payton is a defensive master, he still can't guard Carter. The opponent gets near the penalty area and relies on his physical advantage, but Payton can't cover it. Moreover, the Raptors continue to play pick-and-rolls, and Payton will be separated by screens.

The second quarter became the show time for the Raptors. Tracy McGrady, Detrev, and Hornacek ensured the offensive firepower. Curry was the main attack point. The substitute point guard Emmanuel Davis shot very resolutely and accurately. But it was poor, and the coach was helpless with 0-for-4 shots.

McCoy, Berson and others can't attack either. There were too few offensive players, and Brent Barry was responsible for leading the bench, but was completely suppressed by McGrady.

At halftime, the Raptors went from 5 points behind to 12 points behind.

In the third quarter, the Raptors continued to take the initiative and started a fast break. After leading by 15 points, the players became more and more relaxed. There were several exquisite pass-cut coordination and alley-oop dunks.

With the exception of Payton, all members of the team were ineffective. They trailed by 22 points at the end of the three quarters. Halfway through the fourth quarter, the score difference reached 27 points and entered garbage time.

The substitutes were sent to compete, and Yin Geng was no match. In the end, the Raptors won 1o9 to 77.

Payton had 29 points, 8 rebounds and 6 assists, and Vin Baker had 11 points and 6 rebounds. Apart from them, no one else scored in double figures.

Lewis didn't play much against McGrady and only scored 4 points. Now even if he switches to the Raptors, he won't have much chance to perform and can only be substituted.

Six members of the Raptors team scored in double figures. Carter had 26 points, 1 rebound and 3 assists; McGrady had 17 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists; Detrev made 6 of 10 shots, 3 of 5 three-pointers, and 5 of 6 free throws against his old club, scoring 20 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists.

After this game, ESPN released a piece of data that was shocking. Data shows the Raptors' defensive efficiency ranks ninth in the league.

Many people don't believe that the Raptors are losing 1.4 points per game. Are they still in the top ten in the league?

Experts explain that the Raptors' defense can lower the opponent's shooting percentage, especially the mid-to-long-range shooting percentage. The opponent's overall shooting percentage is not low at 45.1%, but the three-point shooting percentage is only 32.5%. The Raptors' strategy of focusing on perimeter defense is correct.

The Raptors have only lost three games so far. If they maintain this trend, they will definitely win the regular season championship.

Yang Rui is in a very good mood. If the team breaks the record and wins the regular season championship, he may win the title of best coach again. No one has ever done this in NBA history.

Yang Rui clearly remembers that the best coach of the season in his previous life was won by Doc Rivers, who can be called the best coach in history. Because the Magic did not make the playoffs, with a record of 41 wins and 41 losses. Rivers was the head coach in his first season in his career. The reason why he won the award was that there were no stars on the Magic team. The judges thought it was amazing that the winning rate was more than half.

Now, the Magic are missing Ben Wallace, their defense is worse, and their winning percentage is less than half. If you dare to give the award to Rivers, you may be drowned in the saliva of fans.

The team was on vacation and Stana went to practice abroad. Nina Dobrev went to Yang Rui for dinner alone and went to a Chinese restaurant called "Meanbao".

Their signature snack fits the name of the store, which is steamed buns. There are many flavors of steamed buns, including pork belly, chicken, beef, tofu, mushrooms, etc. to choose from.

In addition to main dishes such as steamed buns, siomai, and dumplings, there is also the specialty steamed rice with lotus leaves: rice wrapped in lotus leaves and steamed with meat fillings. Both visually and tastefully, it adds a touch of warmth to the cold winter.

Nina asked: "Jerry, is the game almost ready?"

"Not yet, it will be almost ready after Celebrity Weekend. The setting of this Nina minion is very similar to yours. You will definitely be satisfied." Yang Rui said with a smile.

"Hoho, I'm so looking forward to it." Nina's eyes sparkled.

She didn't know Yang Rui's bad taste yet, but she just liked the Minion image after seeing it. The so-called setting was the same as her, that is, this Minion was very unlucky.

In the plan written by Yang Rui, when the minion Nina guides novices to play the game, there will be a small animation of sowing seeds, tripping and falling into the ground, and turning into a clay figure.

Insects appear on the crops in the field. When Nina demonstrates insecticide, the insects will crawl on her head, and then she panics, bumps into the farm wooden sign, and throws herself into the street.

The worst part is waiting for the later update. After the dogs appear on the farm, Nina demonstrates that if she steals vegetables, she will be chased and bitten by the dogs.

Yang Rui wonders what Nina will think if the game becomes popular in the future. It must be interesting. 8
