Chapter 291 [Return to the top of the list, fierce competition]

After the All-Star Game, Yang Rui returned to Toronto and continued to lead the team in games.

At the trade deadline, the Raptors did not acquire an outstanding point guard. The only bargaining chips they can offer are veterans Kevin Willis and Ryan Bowen, which are unattractive to other teams.

The only thing of value is Willis' expiring contract in the summer. This alone cannot be used to exchange for a strong man. If a marginal man is brought back, it is better to directly reuse John Crotty, who can shoot three-pointers.

Yang Rui accepted this result calmly. He had read all the free agent lists in the summer. The best point guard was probably Mark Jackson. He had excellent passing, average shooting, and average defensive ability. Signing him would have no effect.

There are also teams that want to trade with the Raptors, and the Warriors are willing to send their starting guard Bob Sura.

Rockets fans will not be unfamiliar with this name, because this person is famous for two things, one is cheating triple-double, and the other is unwilling to pass the ball to Yao Ming.

Sura's playing was quite satisfactory, with no major flaws or outstanding highlights. The reason the Warriors wanted to trade him was because they hired him from the Cavaliers in the summer for a four-year mid-level contract that didn't expire until 2004. The final year's salary was as high as $6.27 million, but Sura's performance was not worth it at all. price.

Of course, the Raptors won't trade for a backup guard who earns as much as O'Neal. Isn't this a joke?

The 76ers were luckier than the Raptors. They also injured one of their generals, Theo Ratliff, and successfully completed a big deal with the Hawks after the All-Star Game to strengthen their interior line.

The 76ers received super defensive player Mutombo and seriously injured forward Roshawn McLeod, and sent out Ratliff, Toni Kukoc, Nazr Mohammed, and Pepe Sanchez.

This deal is a win-win. The Hawks are ready to mess up and don't need Mutombo to defend; the 76ers have ensured the depth of the lineup and continue to aim for the championship.

at the same time,

The entire 76ers team will help Iverson compete for MVP. This is the best opportunity in Iverson's life. If the team's record declines in the second half, he will definitely miss out on the MVP.

After seeing the news that Mutombo joined the 76ers, O'Neal was very depressed and had a bad temper in the locker room. Although Iverson's efficiency is much worse than O'Neal, his height has a bonus and has obvious advantages.

O'Neal came back in the next game. When he had the opportunity, he went to the basket and scored dunks. He used this method to vent his anger and wanted to prove his dominance.

O'Neal's increased shots also affected Kobe. Jackson knew that someone had to change, so he often did ideological work for Kobe. After all, O'Neal was the boss and the axis of the team, and Kobe was just the younger brother.

Kobe was forced to take fewer shots and had to defend the opponent's strongest attack point on the outside in every game. Among the four successors to Jordan in the league, Kobe was the worst off. The other three can be said to be the bosses of the team, and he is the second oldest.

Even if Billups is out for the season, the Raptors' winning rate is still very high. Yang Rui begins to show his abilities and arrange the most suitable tactics.

With Brad Miller here, the team doesn't need a point guard and can still ensure the ball moves. Carter and O'Neal Jr. attacked hard, while Reed and Crotty started to attract defense from the outside and catch and shoot three-pointers.

Boykins partners with Mark Jackson on the bench, relying on pick-and-roll offense to ensure offensive firepower. As long as the opponent's defenders and centers are not fast enough, it will be difficult to defend.

To deal with Boykins and Iverson, the defender must actively pursue the defense. If the defense is changed inside, it can only interfere, and the main defense will definitely be passed.

Two of Mario Elie, Dell Curry, and Jumaine Jones are sent outside the three-point line to wait for opportunities, and Halprin can also hold the ball in singles.

The team's fringe players are still Jerome James and Ryan Bowen. The only weakness of the Raptors is that Crotty is far inferior to Billups in both offense and defense.

The Raptors only lost three games in February. Carter's statistics were stable and he was selected as the best player in the Eastern Conference.

In mid-March, the filming of the movie "Resident Evil" started, and the shooting went very smoothly. It is really a very simple movie, with stories taking place in a small space. The outdoor plot was shot and edited into the scene. The troublesome thing is that the zombies wear makeup and are all played by real people.

Just because of simplicity, Yang Rui did not consider magic modification. Most of the plots were based on the "Resident Evil" movie in his memory. Some of the problems Matthew Vaughn picked were how to increase the sense of urgency in fighting and escape. The main plot remained unchanged.

Stana Katic was a little nervous in the early stages of filming, which suited the character because she had lost her memory and had no weapons. Following the actions of the mercenary team, she occasionally frowned and panicked, which perfectly demonstrated the proper state of the protagonist.

Therefore, not only did she, a newbie, make no mistakes on the set, she was often praised by the director.

Yang Rui received a lot of photos from the set at home, and Stana's look in a red dress is really stunning. She is only 23 years old, at the peak of her appearance, youthful and beautiful, and there is no pressure to play in her 30s in this series.

The original star, Milla Jovovich, had good looks and a good figure in the first two films. However, she did not recover well after giving birth and became thicker. In the fifth episode, Li Bingbing, who is 166cm tall, stands next to Mira. She is even smaller than before, and she looks like a little bird.

Stana has an advantage. After the age of 30, she maintains her figure much better than Mira.

Because she wore custom-made black leather boots with inner height, her legs appeared to be longer, a bit ridiculously long, and only the future Wonder Woman Gal Gadot could compare with her.

Stana had a great time filming and chatted with Yang Rui through Minions every day. Even if this film doesn't make her a hit, she will definitely look familiar and countless movie fans will remember her name.

In March, the Raptors lost 5 games and achieved a total record of 51 wins and 20 losses. This was not as good as the record in February, but they returned to the first place in the league. The 76ers performed even worse, only achieving a record of 50 wins and 22 losses, ranking second in the Eastern Conference.

Iverson encountered injuries after the All-Star Game and missed 7 games. The team only won two games. Iverson missed a total of 11 games this season, and the 76ers had 4 wins and 7 losses, which shows his importance to the team.

In the Western Conference, the Lakers ranked second in the Western Conference with 48 wins and 25 losses, and their record was still behind the 76ers. O'Neal missed 8 games, fewer than Iverson, which gave him hope of competing for MVP.

Carter has missed 8 games before and his statistics are also poor. It is difficult to win the MVP again. It doesn't matter if the Raptors have a good record. O'Neal is more worried about Tim Duncan.

The Spurs currently have a record of 51 wins and 21 losses, ranking first in the Western Conference. Duncan has always been healthy and maintained full attendance. He averaged 38.7 minutes per game, 22.2 points, 12.2 rebounds, 3 assists, 0.9 steals and 2.3 blocks. He is the core on both offense and defense.

Yang Rui also feels that the league intends to praise Iverson. Regardless of statistics, efficiency, record, and attendance rate, Iverson is not as good as Duncan. Winning the MVP in the end violates the selection criteria.

You know, Duncan almost puts the team's victory or defeat entirely on his shoulders. This season, David Robinson's condition has declined significantly, and the twin towers have become a single core. Neither Tony Parker nor Ginobili have arrived with the Spurs yet. The Spurs' third-leading player is only shooting guard Derek Anderson, who was originally a role player for the Cavaliers.

Yang Rui no longer cares about the record and starts rotating like the Spurs. He asked the players to increase cooperation, reduce personal offense, and limit core playing time.

In April, the Raptors' goal is to have no more injuries and adjust their players' condition for the playoffs.
