Chapter 283 [3-corner attack, too weak]

Chapter 283 [Triangle attack, can't help but be weak]

The Pacers made a substitution after a timeout, and Al Harrington came on to replace veteran Sam Perkins.Crowhill took the No. 4 position to deal with O'Neal Jr. The task of defending Carter was handed over to Harrington.

Thomas's substitution is targeted. Harrington can play in the three positions of small forward, power forward and center, and his physical fitness is not bad.In Yang Rui's previous life, Harrington's tactical role was outstanding, and he played very well in the series of the Warriors Black Eight Mavericks.

Yang Rui thought about changing Harrington to the Raptors in the summer and developing into a three-point power forward.He has a lot of potential, combined with Tony Allen is Michael Jordan's level, but in terms of looks...

The Raptors made no substitutions, Brad Miller pulled out the three-point line to organize, Reed attracted defense at the bottom corner on the right, Carter moved to catch the ball and continued to attack, and the three formed a triangle on the right.

Harrington was the main defense, Carter played with the ball on the perimeter, Reggie Miller was the main defense, and Carter went to the low post to ask for his back.

Harrington is also struggling to defend Carter. He is 206cm tall and weighs 104kg, and his lateral movement speed is not fast enough.Rose is out, and the Pacers have no orthodox small forward.

At 7 minutes, Carter turned around and bypassed Reggie Miller from the bottom line and scored a dunk with his right hand.

His face was expressionless, his arms were close to his body, his forearms were outstretched, his hands were also outstretched, his stomach was stretched out, and he swung backwards like a duck walking. ??

This duck-like celebration is more exciting than trash talk.Reggie Miller just can't guard him one-on-one, as was evident last playoffs.

Equally depressing was Camby. Whether guarding O'Neal or Brad Miller, he was uncomfortable. Once the two were pulled out, he couldn't stay under the basket.Two bigs catch and shoot if they're back at the rim to help guard against Carter.

Reed had no one to help cover, and no one dared to let go of the bottom corner. The Raptors' triangle offense could not be double-teamed.

Crowhill double-teamed once, Carter scored the ball, and O'Neal made a 45-degree mid-range shot from the left side and made a steady hit.

At 8 minutes, Brad Miller was replaced, and Yang Rui sent Jumaine Jones as a cameo at No. 4, which could open up the space and did not become a loophole on the defensive end. Harrington was not a powerful insider, scoring Mainly by jumpers. 3CM's height advantage can't make him get cheap on Zhu Mayin.

The other four played the entire quarter, and Reed counterattacked in the final stage to pass backup power forward Derek McKay and hit a 5-pointer.He made 4 of 12 shots in a single quarter, all shots from beyond the arc, and scored 1 points and [-] rebound.

卡特10投7中，三分球2中1，罚球2中2，17分1篮板4助攻。

小奥尼尔5投4中，罚球2中2，得到10分3篮板。

Billups made a run and scored a 3-pointer. Miller made a mid-range shot. The Raptors led 44-17 and blew up their opponents in the first quarter.

Camby disappointed the Pacers management again. His scoring ability is too poor, he can open the perimeter, and he has no advantage in low post attack.He is 211cm tall and weighs only 100kg. The only advantage is mobility, but this is useless, and he is completely suppressed by the equally flexible little O'Neal one-on-one.

Mike Breen commented: "Marcus Camby was the second in the 96 golden generation and one of the worst high picks. He won the shot block championship with the Raptors in his second season. People thought O'Neal Jr. was comparable to him, and now it's the complete opposite."

Walter Frazier laughed: "O'Neal Jr. is like a star on the Dream Team. Camby has to work hard for the next big contract. The gap is too big."

"Fans are advised to keep an eye on Reed, who is likely to be the next star Jerry Young develops," Brin said.

In the second quarter, Yang Rui came on the bench.Boykins, Mario Elie, Matt Halprin, Jumaine Jones, Mark Jackson.

After seeing the pick-and-roll power of Boykins and Jackson in the preseason, Yang Rui let Curry, who was poor in defense and not good at dribbling and organization, become a marginal person, and Jerome James was still sitting on the bench.

Although the Raptors are missing an All-Star, the depth of the lineup is still there, and none of the 12 players on the roster is redundant.John Crotty and Ryan Bowen can only wait for rotation opportunities.

Veteran Kevin Willis did not enter the roster. Yang Rui believes that the opening game will be easy to win. If he wants to train the rookie, Willis is currently in retirement with the Raptors.

Mario and Jumayin pulled apart, and the Pacers were still not good at double-teaming after the pick-and-roll.

On the defensive end, except for Jackson, who is a meat shield center, the four Raptors all focus on interfering with outside shots and strictly preventing breakthroughs. Except for Boykins, there is no obvious weakness.

The Pacers backup guard Teuss Aidney is only 178cm tall and weighs 70kg. Similar to Boykins' style, he relies on breakthroughs and can't eat hard.

The other four of the Pacers are not very strong in attack. Jonathan Bender has become the most disappointing player for the Pacers. As the fifth overall pick in 99, he failed to perform in line with his worth.

When the Pacers traded him from the Nets last season, the management fantasized about him becoming an All-Star, but he and Mark Jackson fell short of the matchup.

Brin said regretfully: "When he first arrived at the Pacers, Jonathan showed amazing athleticism. He can dominate the basket, can compete with Larry Bird and Reggie Miller in threes, has the height of a center and the flexibility of a guard. , he is seen as the next Kevin Garnett. Unfortunately, after he suffered an injury, he began to fear confrontation, and he was too soft today."

Fraser said: "He also has chronic knee pain now, but even if he is healthy, he is not suitable for Jackson, who weighs 20 kilograms more than him. The Raptors signed a very successful signing. Jackson performed very well in the preseason. He made veteran Willis a fringe."

Jonathan played 4 minutes and was replaced by blue-collar veteran Zahn Tabak, and it was still difficult to guard against Boykins and Jackson's pick-and-roll.The Pacers hoarded a group of big men, but the perimeter defensive loopholes were helpless.

The point difference continued to widen. Thomas had no choice. He waited until the official suspension to make adjustments. Miller and Crowhill came back to strengthen the attack.Yang Rui also changed back to the four starters, and only Harplin continued to play, easily curbing the Pacers' counter-attack momentum.

Thomas asked Crowhill and Harrington to guard against Carter, and Camby was not bad inside.Carter began to pass the ball selflessly, and Halprin cut to the basket from the right.

Reggie Miller was out of luck. He couldn't prevent Carter's strong play, so he left it to his teammates to defend, but Halprin was stronger than Carter.

Halprin is 201cm tall and 105kg when he is on the side of the Raptors, and it will definitely not be much lighter than this now.His background as a rugby player made him tough and physically strong.He held the ball and rushed inside as if he wanted to break through all blockades for touchdowns. How could Miller stand it?

Halprin scored two goals in a row, including a one-handed dunk. Miller saw that his team was powerless to resist, and his anger was getting bigger and bigger, and he used small moves to make things worse when defending.

When Halprin took the ball and made a breakthrough, Reggie Miller deliberately stretched his leg to trip someone. Halprin stumbled and fell to the ground.

Fortunately, after suffering a serious injury last year, Halprin became more aware of personal protection. He immediately threw a basketball to cushion the ground, and he was not injured. The referee blew his whistle to block the foul, and the home fans booed.

After getting up, Halprin glared at Miller angrily and was separated by the players from both sides. Yang Rui called a timeout at this time.
