Chapter 128 [Big heart, tractor]
In the second quarter, Yang Rui thought he could expand his advantage, but he did not expect to be beaten by the Bucks as a substitute.
Di Brown, McGrady, Christie, and John Wallace all felt terrible and missed many shots. Only Wesley scored offensively.
The team is young and flawed. Once the hand feel is not good, it will suffer, and it is easy to mess up on the field.
Yang Rui called for a timeout and helped McGrady arrange tactics, but it didn't solve the problem.
Once the counterattack fails, the Raptors will be difficult to fight in a positional battle.Wesley and Wallace did not pull out well, the Bucks could shrink the formation, McGrady had to pass the ball when he was double-teamed, and the two inside shots were unreliable.
The Bucks shot resolutely from the outside, Dell Curry made two three-pointers, and Vinnie Denat also made a breakthrough layup.
Yang Rui replaced Carter, O'Neal Jr., and Billups, and the Raptors stabilized the situation. At the end of the half, they led 52-47.
In the third quarter, Yang Rui changed his strategy, with veteran Wesley as center, John Wallace at No. 4, Carter, Christie, and Di Brown on the periphery.
Wesley is the best rebounder in the team, grabbed the rebound and immediately launched a counterattack for the four.Christie responded to Wesley's pass in the backcourt and was responsible for organizing the offense. He had a very poor touch today and missed all the first 5 shots.
Even so, Yang Rui let Christie play in order to defend Ray Allen.He has been more successful in limiting Ray Allen, and he is inseparable, and Ray Allen is a reasonable player who does not shoot without a good opportunity and takes very few shots.
DeBron is faster, and he's shorter and better at defending Brandon.
After 6 minutes of play, McGrady replaced Christie and continued to pester Ray Allen.
Yang Rui learned a lot last season, Van Gundy arranged a good defensive system, and both he and Thibodeau benefited a lot.
Now the two have discussed it together, and they have done a good job in targeting the stars.Ray Allen can't make a three-pointer, and the Bucks are not afraid.
The difference did not open in this quarter, 75 to 69, and the Raptors maintained their lead.
In the last quarter, Yang Rui sent O'Neal Jr., who only played 4 minutes in the third quarter, and the energetic Brad Miller on the inside, with Carter, McGrady and Billups on the outside.
The Bucks sent Dale Curry, Vinnie Denat to partner on the outside, the "big dog" Robinson small forward, and the inside is veteran Almon Gilliam and No. 6 rookie Robert Traylor.
Looking at the opponent's lineup, Yang Rui relaxed and said to Thibodeau, "We won, the Bucks made a mistake."
Thibodeau asked, "You mean they shouldn't play double guard?"
"You shouldn't get on that tractor either," Yang Rui said, and took out a pack of Twinkies from his bag. "Do you want it?"
Xibodu shook his head. He didn't want to go crazy with Yang Rui. Eating on the sidelines would affect his image too much.
This is a banana-flavored cream layer cake, which is individually packaged and easy to carry. Usually, there are two in a bag. Yang Rui likes this flavor very much.
His actions were quickly spotted by the cameraman, who gave him a close-up.
Clarke said: "The score is still anxious, and Jerry is not worried at all. Not only did he send the marginal Miller, but he also started to eat."
David said with a smile: "What the Raptors need is a big heart like Jerry, who can be watched by everyone, just like watching TV at home."
When the audience in front of the TV saw this scene, in addition to being amused, many people were infected and began to look for snacks to eat.
On the field, the Raptors began to take the lead.
Maddie, who was not playing well, saw that Yang Rui didn't mean to blame him at all, and he felt a lot more relaxed.
Miller took every opportunity to prove his strength and worked hard to protect the penalty area.
Yang Rui relaxes because the Bucks rookie Robert Traylor, nicknamed "Tractor", is 203cm tall and weighs 129kg inside.
In Yang Rui's previous life, after only 7 seasons in the NBA, Traylor left the league due to overweight and heart problems.Fans all know this man, it is not that he has played star data, but that after the Mavericks selected him with the sixth pick, they replaced Nowitzki with the ninth pick of the Bucks.
Old Nelson never looked down on players who couldn't shoot, and naturally he didn't appreciate Traylor. The Mavericks selected him just to intercept the Hu Bucks and get a little benefit.A player of Traylor's type, let alone the top six, shouldn't have his name in the first round at all. His speed is too slow.
After Traylor came on the court, Miller and Carter's mid lane pick-and-roll became extremely powerful. Carter's breakthrough ability was very strong as soon as he entered the league, because his physical fitness was so good that most of the insiders couldn't keep up with speed alone.
Carter also has the technique to change direction, take a big stride on the breakthrough, and jump high and far in the last step.Basically, he's getting close to the rim, and no amount of people of similar height can block his shot.
If the defender is one step behind, then you can watch the UFO, and Carter will definitely dunk!
A person of Traylor's size is slow to guard against O'Neal, so how can he keep up with Carter?The white guard Denat, who is 193cm tall, goes to chase and defend, and Miller will be freed.
Today, Miller is not soft on the field. He hits two mid-range shots in a row at a high position. It is impossible to let him go short.
In order to make up for Carter, the bottom line of the Bucks retracted, Carter scored the ball, got a chance from the bottom corner, and Billups made another three-pointer from the right side.
Some fans refer to Billups as "Ironloo".Last season, he did shoot most of the time, shooting just 37.4 percent overall, but half of his shots were 3s.
This season, Yang Rui arranged tactics to help Billups play his strengths. He didn't need the ball, and his hit rate increased. This explosion.
Billups went to the bottom corner, which caused a headache for Bucks coach Karl. Curry was the main defense, and his thin body could not help defend the basket. Let the forward go to the defense, which is directly a dislocation opportunity.
This position was arranged by Yang Rui. A routine of the Bulls' triangle offense is very simple, that is, the point guard goes to the bottom corner.Billups' restraint in this position is obviously greater than that of Hubble, who couldn't shoot three-pointers last season.
Traylor was replaced after playing 4 minutes, plus the 4 minutes played in the second quarter, a total of 8 minutes, missed all three shots and scored no points, and grabbed three backcourt rebounds.His presence was a defensive colander, and the Raptors widened the point difference to 13 points in a 2-17 wave.
The city where the Bucks are located is not good, and no big-name stars are willing to join, so it is particularly important to cultivate rookies.
At this time, the Bucks general manager and scouts are under great pressure. Traylor's performance is not as good as Miller, the Raptors' undrafted rookie. It is their responsibility to trade such a high-level rookie. After the season, they are only afraid of work. Not guaranteed.
George Karl replaced Johnson and Ray Allen, and the defense was strengthened in the second half, reducing the offensive rhythm, ensuring the efficiency of positional battles, and gradually taking control of the situation.
The Bucks had a good offense, but the digging in the front was too big. The Raptors' offense was misfiring. By shrinking the defense, they stumbled and kept the advantage to the end.
97 to 91, the Raptors failed to score more than [-] points. The result was enough to excite the fans, and they started the game with a three-game winning streak.
