Chapter 127 [Full!Steal the spotlight! 】

On the 9th, the Raptors opened their home game. The stadium, which is usually deserted, was full of fans for the first time ever.

Thomas Bentley also came to the home to watch the game. The management gave Yang Rui a special reward and set up a family seat near the player's bench.

When the players came out, the fans in the audience gave warm applause, especially when McGrady and Carter appeared, and the audience cheered. This is a treatment that the players have not received in previous seasons.

Owner Richard Peddie delivered a speech at the scene: "First of all, thank the fans for their support, the Raptors will strive to become better! Second, thank Jerry Young, who has brought vigor and vitality to this team! Finally Good news to announce that next season, the new arena, the Air Canada Centre, will officially open, and we will play games in a larger, more advanced and comfortable arena."

The fans applauded in unison.Richard went to the sidelines to greet Yang Rui, gave him a cordial hug, and returned to his seat. The players started to warm up.

Richard sat on the sidelines and whispered to Glenn Gruward: "You said that signing a coach can change the market. I almost objected. It's dangerous."

"I didn't expect him to be so good. If he wins, he will win three straight games today. We haven't won three straight games yet." Glenn said excitedly.

"Yeah." Richard laughed.

The two looked at each other and sighed in unison.The three-game winning streak can break the team record. In the past, the Raptors were really fresh and refined.

Clark Thomson said: "The Raptors started Billups, Christie, Carter, Jermaine O'Neal, Detrev. O'Neal entered the starting lineup again, and the first two games were too good. Excellent."

David Nellie said with a smile: "I think Jerry uses different lineups to examine the players. After all, there is no preseason and the training time is short."

Bucks starting: Trier Brandon, Ray Allen, Glenn Robinson, Tyron Hill, Erwin Johnson.

The Bucks are a team that relies on the outside to attack. Yang Rui does not let John Wallace play in order to maximize the space, and the rhythm can be fast or slow.The Bucks are not good at attacking inside, so don't worry about being hit to the basket.

O'Neal Jr. jumped to win and the game began.

Carter held the ball in the middle, the players pulled away, Billups on the left did not look for cover, and suddenly ran back to 70 degrees, Carter passed the ball.

Billups caught the ball and turned around and made a jumper, making a sudden arrow!

Brandon is 180cm tall and weighs 82kg. His height is a hard injury. He can't reach the cover when he jumps from the side, and the ball enters the net hollow. 3 to 0.

After scoring the goal, Billups did not celebrate, but returned to defense with a blank face, turning on the facial paralysis mode.

On the bench, his teammates couldn't cheer him up when they applauded him. Yang Rui felt that it was normal that his character would not increase in popularity in the future.

The Bucks attacked, Brandon dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, suddenly accelerated and changed direction to pass Billups, Detrev was experienced and blocked the breakthrough route in time.

Brandon passed the ball to Teelon on the right, who was left unattended and shot out of the bottom line. O'Neal grabbed the rebound and passed Carter on the ground.

Carter sprinted with the ball, but was blocked by the "big dog" near the center line, and gave the ball to Detrev, who followed up.

Billups leaned on Brandon to get the ball with both hands, turned to the baseline and threw his right hand to score. 5 to 0.

Even though he is a point guard, Billups can use the inside single-handed action, relying on his big butt and weight to force the small number one position, showing a high ball quotient.

The Bucks attacked. Robinson took the ball and singled out Carter. After a step on the right, he made a breakthrough and succeeded. He pulled the ball and jumped up, trying to dunk with one hand.

Robinson was careless. He couldn't deal with the over-energized youngsters like the Raptors. He had to rely on fake moves.

O'Neal Jr. covered the basket, jumped high, and accurately pressed his left hand on the basketball to cover the dunk. Robinson's center of gravity shifted and he fell to the ground.

Robinson sat on the ground and complained to the referee, but the referee ignored it and saw clearly that it was a good shot.

O'Neal Jr. has a characteristic. He is left-handed and has a strong left arm. His dominant hand for dribbling, dunking and blocking shots is his left hand, but he uses his right hand when making jump shots. Most people don't know this.

Christie picked up the basketball pass Carter, Robinson couldn't defend it, and it was dislocated.

Carter dribbled the ball to the frontcourt to change direction. Bucks power forward Teelon was not a vegetarian. His prediction was accurate, and Carter was not allowed to pass.He is a blue-collar known for his defense, and was selected to the All-Star Game in 95.

Carter swayed halfway and hit the ground to pass the ball to Billups. The latter leaned on Brandon on the left low and turned to the middle. Seeing that he was about to make a close shot, Brandon pulled a foul.

Billups made two free throws, 7-0.

The home fans applauded, and they thought Billups sucked last season, but today he stole everyone's limelight.

Clark said: "Billups steals the spotlight in the opening, bullies the Bucks guard with his body, and plays beautifully."

David laughed: "Carter made two beautiful passes in the opening, and he performed very well. He attracted the opponent's defense focus."

In the next round, the Bucks finally scored. Brandon and Irving played a pick-and-roll, got rid of Billups and passed O'Neal Jr. for a layup, 7-2.

Short guards are a double-edged sword, with poor defense, agility, and the ability to switch on offense against big men.

In the Raptors positional battle, Detrev off-ball screen helped Billups get rid of the ball. After receiving the ball, Billups attracted Teilon to switch the defense and gave Detrev the ball.

Detrev has comprehensive offensive skills. He leaned on Brandon and made a 45-degree turnaround jumper, ignoring interference and scoring cricket. 9 to 2.

Ray Allen moved from the outside to catch the ball and attracted the attention of the two to pass Erwin. The latter caught the ball and faltered at the basket, called up O'Neal, and then shot to cause a foul and the ball missed.

Erwin's offensive ability is very poor, peaking at 8 points per game, making one of two free throws, 9 to 3.

In the Raptors positional battle, Billups dribbled the ball over half court, and suddenly made a three-pointer in the face of Brandon, and the ball bounced out of the frame.

The tactics arranged by Yang Rui did not focus on Carter at the beginning, but on the point of point guard Brandon. Whoever Brandon guards will take bold shots.

For this tactic, Bucks coach George Karl can't do anything. Brandon can only follow Billups, and no one else can help. If he goes to guard Carter, the gap will be even bigger.

Brandon can play a role in the offense, and he can break sharply after the pick-and-roll.However, he has averaged close to 20 points per game in the past two seasons, and his state has obviously declined. He can only make breakthroughs and cannot shoot.

Robinson was eager to save face after a fall, and wanted more balls to play singles. Carter was able to resist one-on-one, but he couldn't prevent a player like Robinson who could shoot suddenly.

Seeing Carter shriveled and Yang Rui not changing people, this is a kind of exercise.Christie was too thin to deal with Robinson's figure, so Carter was the only one to rely on.

Robinson scored 12 points in a single quarter, the Bucks were prevented from shooting from the outside, and the score has been behind.

Raptors Billups made two three-pointers in a single quarter, with 12 points and 2 assists. O'Neal Jr. and Detrev also played well, leading the team to a 30-24 lead.
