The Raptors attacked, Billups took the ball across half court, and passed it to Carter, and the four players opened up.

The tactic is very simple, and the new Reed knows it all. He only needs to run along the side of the three-point line without cutting.

Carter got the opportunity to challenge Crosier in the middle. He dribbled the ball under his crotch and took a step to the left. He dribbled behind his back and moved his right hand sideways. He pulled the ball back and stepped away, and made a sudden jump shot. 4 to 0.

If you want to find a template for Crohill, Yang Rui thinks he is like a poor man's version of Love, with comprehensive skills, he can shoot and hit the basket. However, he is not fast and has poor explosive power. He is a guest player at small forward. Let him guard Carter alone, which is a colander.

The Pacers attacked, and Best passed to Crohill on the right, allowing him to single out Reid.

Facing a rookie, this seems to be a good opportunity, but Reid is not an ordinary rookie. He played in college for three years before participating in the draft. He is already 21 years old. He is very strong, 198cm tall, 100kg in weight, and has the same size as Carter. Almost the same, except that his physical running and jumping abilities are inferior.

He successfully withstood Crohill, who turned towards the baseline with the ball and failed to squeeze out of position. Crohill had no obvious advantage in strength. He relied on his height to face the defender and was unsure of his shot, sending the ball outside again.

Reggie Miller relied on the screen to run, catch the ball and break through. O'Neal changed defense to block the breakthrough route. Miller made an emergency stop and shot, but the mid-range shot missed due to interference.

Camby rushed for an offensive rebound and was blocked by Brad Miller. Billups easily picked up the backcourt rebound and made a long throw to Carter for a solo fast break.

Camby's task in the Trail Blazers is to rush for offensive rebounds, and he is used to doing this. The Trail Blazers have Pippen on the wing, who is top-notch in pursuit, defense, and defense. The Pacers have Crohill on the wing. He is running to the corner and preparing to shoot a three-pointer. Once Carter starts, he can't catch up at all.

Carter sprinted straight to the left to catch the basketball, took off from the edge of the penalty area, and dunked the basketball with his elegant right hand. 6 to 0.

Zhang Lili shouted: "Carter takes off! A dunk contest-level performance!"

Xu Jicheng said: "When Carter arrived on the Dream Team, he was also a star among stars. His dunk over the French center shocked the world. O'Neal Jr. and Brad Miller are also All-Stars. With the three of them here, the Raptors are still a super team. .”

The Pacers attacked and looked for opportunities through movement. The Raptors players switched defenses in time. Camby made a cut to catch the ball. O'Neal retracted into the penalty area to help defend, leaving Perkins open.

Camby's poor organizational skills were the reason why he was kicked out by the Trail Blazers. Last season, he averaged only 0.6 assists per game with the Trail Blazers. He didn't observe the side situation well and just took the ball directly.

He wanted to dunk with one hand, but was blocked by O'Neal Jr.

Billups picked up the basketball and passed it to Carter. Carter dribbled the ball from behind near the midfield and accelerated past Crohill. Near the free throw line, he attracted Reggie Miller for defense and quickly passed the ball to the right side of the three-point line.

"Rookie" Reed was left open, catching the ball at a 50-degree angle.

His left-handed shooting motion is weird, similar to resisting a cannonball. This kind of shot is called "shoulder-mounted", and the action is not beautiful, but in fact, most shoulder-mounted shooters have a high hit rate, such as Bonner and Fisher.

brush! The ball goes hollow into the net. 9 to 0.

The Pacers attacked, and Reggie Miller wanted to return the favor. He ran to catch the ball and shot a three-pointer. O'Neal Jr. interfered on the right side and the ball missed the basket.

Brad Miller didn't take the rebound and dialed it directly out, showing his good basketball intelligence. Carter received the ball and passed it to O'Neal Jr. on the left side of the fast break.

How can Reggie Miller's tall body be able to guard against O'Neal? Perkins pursued the defense and formed a double-team in the low post. O'Neal Jr. took the ball and passed it to the right corner while running.

Reid got open again and hit a jumper and three-pointer. 12 to 0.

The Pacers players were a little anxious. Best made a mistake in passing the ball across the half court, and the ball to Reggie Miller was a little small. Best is not a point guard who is good at organizing. He played 20.6 minutes last season and only had 3.3 assists.

Carter succeeded in stealing the ball, and the fast break attracted Crohill's defense and distributed the ball to the right side. Reed made a 70-degree jumper for a three-pointer. Miller's pursuit was a little slow but he missed the block and hit another one. 15 to 0.

All the fans cheered, and Yang Rui stood up on the sidelines and applauded Reid with the players.

Zhang Lili exclaimed: "It's Reed again, scoring three three-pointers in a row. This rookie is so strong today."

Xu Jicheng smiled and said: "Yang Rui said before the game that he would train Reed to compete for the best rookie. He is a rookie who fell to the end of the first round, so not many people are optimistic about it. Looking at his performance this time, Yang Rui's vision is too accurate!"

"Reed's shooting is very good, which should be the reason why he occupies a starting position. However, I don't remember anyone saying that he was accurate during the draft, and he didn't play long in the preseason." Zhang Li said with a smile.

Reed was put on the bench by Yang Rui in the preseason, and now he knows what he should do. The Raptors stars are all present, and he won't steal the ball unless he doesn't want to mess around.

The Pacers players are a little confused. The information provided by scouts shows that Reid is not good at long-range shots. In college, he mainly relied on breakthroughs and back-up shots. So Thomas arranged that the person on the court who can relax the defense is Reid.

What the hell do you mean you're not good at shooting three-pointers? !

Isiah Thomas, who was the head coach for the first time, was also stunned. He was beaten 15-0 at the beginning without even calling a timeout.

In fact, the Pacers' interior substitutes are somewhat strong. Center Jonathan Bender, the high-ranked rookie in 1999, has a shooting range beyond the three-point line, but has some knee problems. Power forward Al Harrington, who is good at shooting, blue-collar insiders Jeff Foster, Zahn Tabak, etc. who work hard on defense.

With so many options, Thomas actually let the 40-year-old Perkins start just because he can shoot three-pointers. With this unconventional and daring spirit of making surprise attacks, it is normal for him to not call a timeout when falling behind by a big score.

This kind of person is crazy!

The Pacers attacked, Reggie Miller passed Carter with the ball, and finally scored two points with a pull-up jump shot. 15 to 2.

The Raptors also have weaknesses. After Christie left, there are no defensive experts on the outside and they can only rely on overall defense.

The Raptors attacked, Billups passed the ball to Carter, Carter held the ball in the middle, and the person defending him became Miller.

Billups and O'Neal played an off-ball screen on the left side. He ran and received a pass from Carter, which attracted Perkins to change defense. He passed the ball to O'Neal in an air cut.

Best, who is 180cm tall, failed to stop O'Neal from making an air cut and was completely squeezed away. O'Neal took the ball in three steps and scored with a one-handed dunk before Camby could defend. 17 to 2.

Thomas finally asked for a timeout. The Raptors could play whatever they wanted in the opening game. If they didn't adjust their defense, they would have scored 50 points in a single quarter.

Thomas broke into a cold sweat on his back. He never expected that the Raptors without Tracy McGrady would still be so strong and their offense could not be stopped.

The impact of McGrady's departure cannot be seen in the starting lineup, because Yang Rui has always made McGrady the team's sixth man, and sent Reid in the starting lineup, which has a better offense than Christie.

On the Raptors side, Yang Rui high-fived the players.

Reid smiled very happily. He hit three-pointers in a row and gained confidence. He now felt that the NBA was not scary anymore and was more comfortable than playing in college.

In college, Reid was the core of the team. He would be double-teamed every game and had poor shooting opportunities. In the Raptors, he had teammates he could rely on and the defense he faced was not very intense.

When Reid smiled, his honest face rivaled that of O'Neal. The team now has two Bubble Bobbles.
