The Pope of Basketball Community

Brad Miller played the entire quarter, scoring 7 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, and made 3 of 3 shots.

Ratliff, as the 76ers' strongest defensive inside player, had the most uncomfortable time against Miller. He couldn't take advantage of his jumping, speed, and wingspan advantages.

Miller doesn't attack the basket, he takes his time and leisurely, and can always pass the ball to the right position to create mismatch or advantageous singles opportunities. But the big man is really far away, and he can shoot jumpers.

Breen commented: "When Miller feels good, he can drive opponents crazy. As an undrafted rookie, he is really an inspirational player."

Fraser said: "On the surface, the Raptors don't have a player with a lot of assists. In fact, they run the ball the best in the league, and their assists are very average. Billups averages 4.3 assists per game, Carter 4.6, and Tracy McGrady." 4.5. Veterans Hornacek and Detrev are also good at passing the ball, and this led to the smoothest offense in the league."

In the second quarter, Raptors Hornacek and Christie came on the field. The small forward was Tracy McGrady, who had rested for 4 minutes, and the inside was two veterans, Detrev and Willis.

The 76ers sent three guards, Kevin Ollie, Aaron McGee, and Larry Hughes, with Kukoc and Matt Geiger inside.

Yang Rui felt relieved after seeing the 76ers roster, drinking milk tea and eating potato chips on the sidelines.

The timing of Larry Brown's substitutions is the same as in the previous series, and there are traces to follow. The three guards can enhance the impact and play fast breaks after Iverson comes off the court to ensure offensive firepower. But there is a big problem. No one on the 76ers can guard Tracy McGrady. Hughes and McGee are short, and Kukoc is slow.

The Raptors didn't relax on the defensive end either. Entering the playoffs, Yang Rui asked the defensive end to strengthen confrontation, guard the penalty area, and be quick and ruthless when fouled. Send the opponent free throws and don't let the opponent dunk.

The Raptors players did this and blocked the penalty area.

Detrev and Kukoc have similar styles, and they know what people like them hate. Willis guards the penalty area, has rich experience, and is lighter in weight, so he still withstood Geiger. He didn't play much in the regular season and entered the playoffs in top form.

Seeing that the defender couldn't break through and couldn't shoot accurately, Brown only let Iverson rest for three minutes before replacing him. The effect of this move was obvious, and Iverson scored 6 points in a row.

Iverson didn't break through and would make a sudden jump shot. Christie and Hornacek struggled to defend. His speed is too fast, and it is difficult to keep up once he changes direction. His jump shots are often shot without reaching the highest point and rely on rhythm, which can only cause slight interference.

Yang Rui will not arrange to double-team Iverson. If he attracts a double-team,

Whether it's passing the ball or teammates rushing to grab rebounds after a shot, the 76ers' role players can play their part, which will give them a chance to win.

Therefore, the adjustment Yang Rui made was to make substitutions. Boykins came on and replaced veteran Hornacek.

Everyone was shocked, whether it was the audience in front of the TV or the fans at the scene, this substitution was beyond their expectations.

tv5 Zhang Liang was surprised and said: "Yang Rui's adjustment is hard to understand? Iverson is in good condition. He actually let Boykins play at this time. He is only 165m tall, shorter than Iverson. Is it possible? Aren’t you going to defend yourself?”

Sun Zhengping smiled and said: "I think Yang Rui is going to attack hard. Boykins' breakthrough ability is the strongest in the Raptors. Iverson doesn't know if Iverson can seize the opportunity and score more points in this quarter."

Zhang Lijia sighed: "Iverson greeted Yang Rui before the game. The two seemed to have a good relationship. During the Star Weekend, Yang Rui also participated in community labor with Iverson. During the main game, he also asked Iverson to be the core , won the mvp. But is it really good to give face to the opponent in the playoffs?"

We watch too many fake games. Chinese people like to think about conspiracy theories when watching sports games, no matter which country or sport they are in. The commentators are no exception, but they are wrong.

Yang Rui is not "letting go" at all, but strengthening defense. No one on the Raptors is better suited to guard Iverson than Boykins. The reason why Iverson became a star is that his most important advantage is speed and agility, not shooting.

With Boykins on defense, it was more difficult for Iverson to catch the ball and break through than before. Boykins is shorter and more agile, and his straight-line speed is slightly inferior to Iverson, but as long as Iverson fails to pass people in the first step, he can interfere personally.

When others defend Iverson, their close movements are slightly larger. If Iverson stumbles, he may be called for a foul. Boykins does not have this worry, which is also an advantage.

The 76ers cooperated with the screen, and the Raptors were also very active in switching inside to defend Iverson. Only if he catches the ball and takes action immediately can he get a good opportunity, but that is not the rhythm of play that Iverson is good at.

After two passes, his teammates failed to make a shot, and Iverson began to single out.

Iverson no longer looked for cover, and his teammates didn't give him cover, as if dealing with a small role like Boykins would embarrass a superstar.

Yang Rui targeted Iverson's character. He is the kind of person who likes to compete with his opponents. Whoever scores in front of him, he wants to return the favor. If the opponent has an unknown guy on defense, he has to use his strength to teach his opponent how to behave.

Iverson broke through with the ball, missed the first step, leaned against Boykins, turned around in the middle, and stepped back for a jumper.

Boykins is very focused, does not lose his defensive position, and jumps to interfere as much as possible. Iverson dodged the block, but the ball missed the basket and Willis grabbed the rebound.

When the Raptors attack, Yang Rui will not arrange for Boykins to challenge Iverson with the ball. The players pulled away, and Willis side-covered Boykins.

McGrady distributed the ball, and Boykins broke through with the ball, attracting Geiger to switch defenses and Iverson to pursue the defense. He found an opening and passed it to the cutting veteran Willis.

Geiger hurriedly retreated to the basket. Willis had already started, turned around, and relied on Geiger to hit a hook from close range.

When the 76ers attacked, Iverson faced Boykins' interference and made another emergency jump shot, then hit the target.

The Raptors' offense was very simple. McGrady faced Hughes with a jumper, and the 76ers counterattacked. Iverson forced a breakthrough inside for a layup, but failed to completely get rid of Boykins, and was double-teamed by Willis. Deflected under interference.

Iverson rushed out of the baseline, Willis got the rebound, and the Raptors immediately counterattacked.

Boykins quickly advanced to the frontcourt and passed Kukoc for a layup.

In turn, it is difficult for the 76ers to guard Boykins. It is too difficult for the big man to keep up with him.

When the 76ers attacked, Iverson held the ball in a one-on-one. He leaned against Boykins in the corner on the right, turned around and made a step-back jumper in the middle, and finally made a mid-range shot.

The Raptors' offense still used the talent of the stars. McGrady missed a pull-up jumper, and the 76ers were in a positional battle.

The 76ers players handed Iverson a single for the fifth consecutive time. He dribbled under his hips and changed direction, and made a jump shot on the right side. Due to Boykins' interference, it missed the basket, and Willis won the rebound.

After the Raptors made substitutions, Iverson made one of five shots and gave a disappointing answer.

Not only the fans, but also assistant coaches such as D'Antoni and Thibodeau found it incredible. When Yang Rui made this arrangement, they all raised objections and now they have all accepted it.

The fringe defense is super giant, how the hell is this okay? !

Many Iverson fans were severely hit and felt that their world view had changed. They couldn't understand how the all-powerful Iverson could be guarded by the skinny Boykins.

Is there any royal law? Are there any laws? !
