Five minutes later, Byron Scott replaced Eddie Curry and replaced Keith Van Horn. Ｅ小┡sayＷｗ　Ｗ． ㄟ1XIAOSHUO. COM

This adjustment seemed a bit late. The Raptors led 18 to 10 and had high offensive efficiency. Curry had problems with both single defense and assisting, and was singled out twice by O'Neal Jr. twice.

After Van Horn came on the court, the Nets' offensive formation became wider. Kidd and Martin broke through in pick-and-rolls, attracting O'Neal Jr. to switch defenses and gently throw the ball into the air near the basket.

Martin jumped up in one step, and smashed the ball into the air with his flat-headed hands. He pulled the basket to do a pull-up, kicked his legs wildly, and was extremely violent! 18 to 12.

When the Raptors attacked, Miller passed to Harprin on the right side. The latter leaned against Kittles and turned around to shoot a jumper in the middle. He avoided the block and the ball bounced out of the frame. Kidd grabbed the backcourt rebound. The Nets went on a fast break.

Jackson passed the ball to Kittles, who chose to single out and broke through in a different direction. Halprin was out of position and fouled, preventing Kittles from throwing the ball.

Yang Rui asked for a substitution on the sidelines, but Reed was not sent. Brad Miller came off and Jerome James came on.

When he came on the field, Yang Rui called Jerome to his side and warned: "Pay attention to the cutting route of Kamin in the middle. Don't worry about Kidd and let the defender chase him."

Most teams deal with the Nets by blocking the penalty area and letting Kidd shoot. Because Martin's cutting speed is very fast and his bounce is amazing, making it difficult to stop him when he rushes.

During this period, Kidd was not nicknamed "Basic" by fans. He averaged 17 shots per game in the playoffs, shot only 41.5% from the field, 18.9% from three-point range, and averaged 19.6 points, 8.2 rebounds, 9.1 assists and 1.7 steals per game. .

Looking at the data, Kidd is extremely powerful. In fact, it's not a big deal to let him shoot. His scoring efficiency is very low.

The out-of-bounds ball came out, and Kidd repeated his old tricks and wanted to cooperate with Martin in the pick-and-roll. Jerome did not change defense and blocked Martin's path. Kidd was not decisive and was caught up by Billups.

Kidd distributed the ball, and Jackson singled out Halprin. He changed direction and made an emergency jump shot without getting rid of the defense. He was severely interfered with and the ball went wildly. O'Neal Jr. got the rebound.

In the Raptors' position battle, Miller suddenly changed into Carter's forward play style, and the person defending him was Jackson. The players pulled away, and Jerome on the right gave Billups an off-ball screen.

Kidd and Martin were attracted to the right, and Carter led to the left, hitting the ground and passing the ball to O'Neal in the low post on the left.

O'Neal Jr. caught the ball with his back and turned towards the baseline.

Relying on Van Horn's strength, he scored on a rebound shot. 2o to 12.

Xu Jicheng said: "The Raptors are really invincible in the Eastern Conference. The Nets' defense is not bad this season. There is nothing they can do against them. Carter is not very strong yet."

Zhang Lili said: "Carter is a selfless player and has the ability to compete for the scoring title, but this kind of combination of sudden shooting and shooting is easier to lead the team to win. The opponent does not know what he will do next. Xiao Ou catches the ball and challenges Fan Horn was too relaxed, O'Donnell should be allowed to play more at this time."

Xu Jicheng sighed: "Carter is indeed great. Among the stars who entered the All-NBA Team this year, Carter played much less time than Iverson, Kobe, and O'Neal, and his statistics are still very good."

In fact, Yang Rui thought about letting Carter compete for the scoring title last season. If he did, his popularity would be even higher. Compared with Jordan, how can there be no scoring champion?

But Carter is obviously too selfless. He now prefers to increase his shooting percentage. His field goal percentage has reached more than 50% for two consecutive seasons, and his three-point shooting percentage has reached more than 40% for three consecutive seasons. It is a pity that he missed free throws, otherwise he would have scored 50% or more. 4o, 9o club.

O'Neal Jr. has also reached his peak, averaging 21 points, 7.7 rebounds, 1.7 assists and 2.3 blocks in the playoffs, with a shooting percentage of 5o.3%.

At this time, the Nets completed an attack. Martin faced Jerome's defense and missed the basket with a low throw. Halprin grabbed the rebound.

In the Raptors' position battle, Jerome once again covered, Van Horn changed to defend the other side, and Martin defended O'Neal.

Carter passed the ball to Billups, and Jerome cut to the basket. Billups took out a little space facing Kidd, dribbled to 45 degrees, and lobbed the ball to Jerome in the low post.

Jerome, who is 213cm tall and weighs 128 kilograms, is more than a circle bigger than Van Horn, who is 2o8cm tall and weighs 100 kilograms. He went directly to the basket, caught the ball, turned around, jumped up, and dunked with both hands to score! 22 to 12.

The Nets attacked, Kidd and Van Horn played a pick-and-roll, and the Raptors blocked the penalty area to prevent breakthroughs. Kidd released the ball. Van Horn faced Billups and had no chance to make a move, and then passed to Jeter. ers.

Kittles faced Carter, couldn't break away with the ball, and then looked for his teammates. 24 seconds were about to run out. Martin caught the ball in the low post and hit hard. Facing Jerome, he turned and threw, and hit the iron again.

No matter how good a person with a height of 2.6cm can jump, he can't be very efficient when he attacks a meat shield center in the low post. Martin is only in his second season in his career, and he mainly relies on his body to play.

In the Raptors' position battle, players passed the ball slowly around the perimeter. The ball passed through everyone's hands. After confirming that Van Horn was on the right side of the defense, Carter lobbed the ball to Jerome.

Jerome went deep into the basket and pushed away Van Horn. Martin covered up the defense. O'Neal called out. Jerome heard the sound and passed the ball to the middle. O'Neal was left empty near the free throw line.

Jackson made up the defense, and O'Neal Jr. distributed the ball to the left. Halprin made a three-point jumper from the 70-degree open space on the left. This was his most accurate position and he hit. 25 to 12.

Yang Rui replaced Jerome to attack Van Horn, which was an obvious loophole.

On the surface, Van Horn's statistics are not bad. He averaged 32 minutes per game in the playoffs and scored 13.5 points, 6.4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal. In fact, he is overpaid and incompetent.

He is slow to defend from the outside and poor at defending against the inside. His only advantage is his range and his ability to clear the basket. Due to his over-reliance on shooting for scoring, his shooting percentage in the playoffs was only 4o.6%, and his 44% three-point shooting percentage was the only fig leaf, averaging two shots per game.

Data is not the only criterion for measuring a player's strength. Most teams don't like players who are strong offensively and weak defensively. In Yang Rui's previous life, Van Horn became a homeless man after leaving the Nets because of his poor defense. He bounced around the 76ers, Knicks, Bucks, and Mavericks, and could only stay for one season in each place. He was ranked second in the league, but he retired after the 06 season without any ball to play.

Scott didn't call another timeout, he just yelled at the players to speed up their defensive rotations. He wants Van Horn to play a role in the air and aggressively attack the Raptors. Of course, this is seeking death.

After Van Horn pulled away, the Raptors were difficult to defend. Jerome Carmartin cut through the lane and defended the basket, but Jackson and Kittles both hit three-pointers.

The Raptors attacked from the inside out, hitting the basket and scoring two points, with a high shooting percentage, leading 37 to 24 at the quarter.

Miller, who took a break in the second quarter, returned to the court to lead the bench and play pick-and-roll with Parker. Parker can't break through the back pass, and Miller can organize the second time. Reed, Dan Malley, and Kirilenko opened up on the outside, attracting defense from outside the three-point line, and Kirilenko cut at any time from the right.

On the defensive end, Yang Rui's arrangement also targeted the Nets lineup. Although Kirilenko is thin, guarding Horn is not a problem. The two are about the same size. After Van Horn is marked, he will not get easy shooting opportunities.

Parker and Reed outperformed Nets substitutes Anthony Johnson and Lucios Harris, and succeeded in counterattacks.

Scott quickly made substitutions before the official timeout. Just like the Bulls vs. Raptors, there was a clear gap in the strength of the substitutes between the two sides.
