Chapter 345 [Full of vitality, no more passion]

Chapter 345 [Full of vitality, no more passion]

After the suspension, Yang Rui replaced Jordan, Wesley, and Laettner, and the substitutes Maggette and Bell continued to play.

This substitution achieved immediate results, the Wizards played a 10-0 wave, and Carlisle called a timeout.

Veteran center Laettner is experienced and had a tacit understanding with Jordan last season.He screened Wesley off the ball on the flank, and was very good at timing the air cut. If the opponent didn't switch, he would move along the three-point line, running to the middle to screen for Jordan, and running to the bottom line to screen for Bell.

Jordan was willing to pass the ball to Laettner. The bag boy of the 92 Dream Team was now a veteran of 10 seasons.

Yang Rui used Laettner as a substitute, mainly to cultivate new players. In many teams, Laettner has the strength of starting center.

Kirilenko is not here at the moment, and Jordan singled out Carter and began to play.He put on a three-threat stance and made a pull-up jumper; the second time he broke through the pull-up and feinted to trick Carter, jumped forward to make a foul, and made two free throws.

Carter wanted to fight back, but the outside shot was interfered, and the breakthrough was double-teamed by the Wizards.Jerome goes out to cover objects that are always empty, and the air-cut is not fast enough.

Carlisle replaced Jerome and replaced Mark Jackson, who was barely able to shoot in the middle, not as stable as the two big inside stars on the team last season.

The players on both sides did not cooperate very well. Once the defense was strengthened, the game became extremely dull.

Yang Rui replaced Bell, replaced Hamilton, accelerated the pace and counterattacked, and finally showed the vitality of the team in 3 minutes.Maggette and Hamilton staged dunks, and Wesley also hit a three-pointer in a counterattack.

The Wizards lead 54-47.

At halftime, Barkley commented: "The Raptors are really not good this season. They all rely on perimeter players to attack, and the inside is all blue-collar. Without big men to empty the basket, Carter can't drive the team like in previous years. , forcibly breaking through is not effective."

Smith said: "The Wizards do have three insiders with excellent ability to empty the space, two newcomers and one veteran."

In the second half, Yang Rui sent Stoudamire, who had a full quarter of rest, and Gerald Wallace at No. 4. The two had super athletic ability.The Raptors just got used to Laettner's style of play, and the Wizards speeded up inside.

Stoudamire first screened and then cut the ball and dunked, then made a mid-range shot from a high position. Then he made a fast break to form a dislocation, and the face frame broke through the dunk. Although Parker retreated quickly, he did not dare to reach out. Look at that. The momentum can't be pulled.

The Raptors, regardless of Jerome or Jackson, are heavy insiders, unable to keep up with Stoudemire's speed.

Carlisle saw this through and allowed Jackson to play for only 3 minutes before taking a rest. The center sent Gerani McCoy, a center with a height of 208 cm and a weight of 111 kg.

After the substitution, the Raptors became more mobile inside, but they couldn't open up space.Gerani is a pure blue-collar player who can only score in the penalty area and can be empty on the outside.

Kirilenke did a good job defending Jordan, and the offensive end was also dominated by empty cuts, and he couldn't break the zone defense.Halprin was a cameo at the No. 4 position. He was a surprise player against the big man inside. Against Wallace, he couldn't pass anyone, and he could only make jumpers under interference.

Billups saw the situation clearly and increased his perimeter shots. Carter also relied on mid-to-long-range jumpers to score.

Entering the final quarter, the Wizards had problems cooperating again, making chaotic moves and failing to score for 3 consecutive minutes.

This is a good opportunity for the Raptors to reverse, but the fans at home were disappointed, and everyone in the Raptors felt a decline and missed consecutive shots.Carter failed to take on the heavy responsibility of scoring points, Reed's shot lost his sight, Parker's mid-to-long-range shot was even worse, and the breakthrough was still double-teamed, unable to break the zone defense.

In 3 minutes, the Raptors did not score a goal in a sports game. Only Jackson grabbed an offensive rebound, fouled on the second offense, and made two free throws.

Yang Rui called for a timeout first, sent Marshall and Wesley two fixed-point three-pointers, and arranged movement tactics for Hamilton. Jordan was in charge of the organization, and only Boozer was left on the inside.

Boozer plays for a short time and has plenty of physical strength. He can open mid-range shots on the offensive end, and he is responsible for resisting the Raptors on the defensive end and protecting rebounds well.

Yang Rui reasonably allocated the playing time of the players, and Hamilton provided offensive firepower for the team by relying on screen moves, catching and shooting shots or empty cuts inside.

Boozer and Stoudamire, Yang Rui always sent one on the field, so there was no obvious loophole on the defensive end.Boozer's performance in this quarter was very eye-catching. He scored 6 points and 5 rebounds in the final quarter, scored two mid-range shots, and played a low-post catch.

In the final 103 to 90, the Wizards defeated the Raptors on the road and achieved a two-game winning streak.

Barkley laughed: "The Raptors have lost the enthusiasm of the previous seasons, the players are very lackluster, this is not the championship team that people are familiar with. On the contrary, the Wizards feel full of energy, which is the best The change brought about by Ray Young."

Smith agreed: "The Raptors can't open space or support the offense inside. Without Miller's excellent pass after grabbing a backcourt rebound, the Raptors couldn't fight back fast enough, they were just ordinary balls. team."

The Raptors have a lot of potential players on the perimeter, but if the lineup is unreasonable, it will be in vain. Just like five Kidds together, no matter how high the ball quotient is, it is impossible to win.

奇才全队五人得分上双，乔丹打了30分钟，13投5中，三分1中0，罚球4中3，砍下13分12篮板8助攻的准三双。

得分最多的是斯塔达迈尔，17投10中，罚球4中4，拿下24分6篮板。

汉密尔顿19投9中，罚球2中2，得到20分5助攻；马盖蒂得到18分5篮板，8分是罚球得到的；马绍尔有15分8篮板进账，投进了三个三分球。

猛龙队有四人得分上双，卡特23分5篮板3助攻，比卢普斯25分5助攻。里德、哈普林分别得到13分和10分。

Online fans have expressed their disappointment with the Raptors. In the first four seasons, the Raptors played aggressively even if they lost, and often staged wonderful dunks.In the new season, the Raptors have a total of six dunks in these two games, and Carter only dunked two. There is no slam dunk contest-style performance.

In contrast to the Wizards, Stoudamire dunked five times in this game, and Wallace also had a beautiful alley-oop that could hit the top five balls. The style of play was different from last season.

More people are praising Yang Rui on the Internet. Under his coaching, the Wizards at the bottom have been rejuvenated from the beginning.

The Raptors coach Carlisle was unfortunately lying on the gun and walked to the player tunnel. He was even booed by the home fans. The fans were dissatisfied when he failed to score [-] points in two consecutive games.

No famous coach was willing to take over the Raptors in the summer, and two stars were gone. Many people guessed that the Raptors were not easy to lead this season. Carlisle fell into the pit, and the strength of the Raptors has dropped significantly.

Yang Rui saved face for his old club, casually said a few words at the press conference, and did not compare the two sides.

When asked by reporters whether the Wizards' goal had changed, Yang Rui didn't say anything crazy, he was still aiming for the playoffs.

The Wizards played against teams with flaws in the interior, and they had an opportunity.If it is the lineup of the Raptors last season, even without a head coach, it is by no means the Wizards can compete.

The Wizards' tactical movement is still very simple. There will be many mistakes in a game. Yang Rui calls a timeout to emphasize tactics, and new mistakes will also appear. It is not an overnight thing to attack.
