The Pope of Basketball Community

In the second half, well-rested Carter, Willis, Wallace and others returned to the court to ensure the mobility of the lineup and continue to run and bomb.

The point difference has widened to more than 20 points, but the Raptors players are not the most eye-catching. Some coaches successfully steal the spotlight.

The live broadcast came to the sidelines. Yang Rui was holding a large bag of potato chips and eating while watching the game. There was also a cup of iced red bean milk tea at hand, which he took a sip from time to time.

Clark fainted. "Is this a basketball coach? Does he think this is watching a movie in a movie theater?!"

David couldn't laugh or cry. "It seems that in the Knicks last season, Jerry Young performed very restrained, because he was only an assistant coach, and now he is the head coach. He is the boss in the team, and no one can control what he does on the sidelines."

Clark asked: "Are NBA rules allowed to do this?"

"I don't know, the coach pays great attention to the image, I have never seen someone eating on the sidelines..."

The two commented on the game while complaining, and the Toronto Sports TV ratings kept rising. The fans who were disappointed with the Raptors suddenly found that the game became better.

Raptors owner Richard Peddy was very happy. He originally only wanted to find Yang Rui to increase the home attendance, but he didn't expect that the first offense would be a different team.

The Green Army had just adapted to the Raptors' counterattack, and Yang Rui replaced Detref and Jermaine O'Neal to strengthen the offensive position.

Except for Jermaine O'Neal, the other four have good passing awareness and rotate the ball very well. Jermaine O'Neal is mainly responsible for inside defense, helping to block shots, and waiting for the ball to be returned after the offensive end screens to shoot, and not to enter the penalty area.

Carter and Billups scored three-pointers in a row. With 5 minutes left in the final quarter, the point difference was 26 points and it entered garbage time.

The Celtics couldn't defend, and they couldn't attack. The core Antoine Walker felt cold. He obviously had too much fun during the holidays and didn't practice much. He became a fat man in the new season and could only force his way to the basket. After entering the basket, Walker has no advantage against O'Neal.

Seeing that the overall situation has been decided, Yang Rui replaced Alvin Williams, Miller, Leicester, Wallace, and Jermaine O'Neal to stay on the court and continue playing.

Potential rookies need to practice more. Yang Rui specially called timeouts to arrange tactics, let Alvin and Miller play pick-and-rolls, and O'Neal can single out with the ball in the low post.

O'Neal showed amazing skills. He quickly turned around in the low post and passed Riley's one-handed dunk; he caught the ball at 45 degrees and leaned twice, then turned around and scored a jumper after a feint; he was still catching the ball on the right side, feinting After the jumper hit.

Jermaine O'Neal was a swingman when he first entered high school, and then turned to the inside after growing taller. His style of play focuses on shooting and has strong mobility, which makes it very difficult for opponents to guard against big men.

The more he played on the court, the more excited he was, and he also played in garbage time, which was completely different from when he was in the Trail Blazers.

Because Yang Rui told him clearly when he paused. "I only came out to let you exercise, pay attention to protect yourself, don't get hurt."

In the Trail Blazers, how can Jermaine O'Neal have this kind of treatment? The coach treats him as air at all, playing for a while in the second quarter, playing in garbage time for a while, and the coach does not communicate with him at other times.

In the locker room, Rashid Wallace stalked him and despised him; Grant was a competitor and ignored him; Sabonis was not talkative, and no insider was willing to teach him a few tricks. He was freed.

Now, he feels respected, no one looks down on him here, the manager values ​​him.

Miller also performed well. He was very low-key. After the pick-and-roll, he honestly waited for the return pass in the middle. He didn't go inside and played strictly according to Yang Rui's arrangement.

When he was misplaced, he received a pass from Alvin and made a mid-range shot from the high post. On the defensive end, he prevented the opponent's big men from entering the penalty area and scored backcourt rebounds one after another.

David exclaimed: "There used to be news that the Knicks' offense was stronger than the 1997 season because of Yang Rui. Like many fans, I didn't believe it. Now you can't believe it."

Clark said with a smile: "This Easterner seems to have a magical power. He has just arrived, but the players like him very much.

When leaving the court, the players first asked him to high-five to celebrate, and Carter ate his potato chips... There is no preseason game, and the training camp is so short, he made the Raptors have such a strong cohesion, which is amazing! "

David said: "If the Raptors make the playoffs, even if they are only eighth, Jerry Young should be named the best coach."

The Raptors were on the bench, and the radio ratings didn't drop much. If it was last season, the garbage time fans would have watched something else, and they would not even watch it after halftime. The Raptors often fell behind by a big score.

Glenn Gruward, who was watching the live broadcast at home, received a call from his boss Richard. "Glenn, you're doing a great job, great! Bringing in Jerry Young is the right thing to do!"

"Thank you, I hope I can play like this in the future." Glenn laughed.

"Didn't you notice? The atmosphere of the team is different. These people really want to play for the Raptors!" Richard was very excited. From 1995 to now, the Raptors have been at the bottom and tickets cannot be sold. What did he do? It's not interesting either.

This year, he believes that more fans will come to watch the game at home.

There are smiles on the faces of the players and the coaches, they are relaxed, which has never been there before.

The core of the team used to be like enemies with the management, and they only wanted to leave; the head coach never dared to promise the record, but only shirked responsibility and complained about various difficulties.

The gap is too big!

The final game was 123 to 92, and the Raptors won by 31 points away. Many fans of the Celtics hurriedly left the game without waiting for the end of the game.

Willis scored a double-double with 16 points and 11 rebounds; Carter made 8 of 17 shots, 3 of 6 three-pointers, and 8 of 8 free throws, scoring 27 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists; McGrady made 5 of 10 shots, 3 of 3 free throws, and scored 13 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists; Billups made 5 of 12 shots, 4 of 8 three-pointers, 14 points and 5 assists; Jermaine O'Neal had 14 points and 6 rebounds; Wallace had 15 points and Christie had 12 points.

Seven Raptors scored in double figures, and Detref, who scored 7 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, also performed well.

Carter became famous in the first battle. He scored the highest score in the first show of his career. His performance was impeccable, and he staged four wonderful dunks.

In the locker room, Yang Rui ordered a few people to attend the press conference, but did not call John Wallace.

If you are very affectionate now and send him away as soon as you say he will send them away in the future, that would be too hypocritical, and Yang Rui can't do this kind of thing. So he deliberately revealed some information, Wallace will not be a member of the core.

Wallace was haughty, ambitious, and instantly offended.

Why don't you call me? Even Billups went, why not let me go to the press conference? In his eyes, am I not as good as that guard who can only make wild shots?

Wallace really looked down on Billups, comparing two points with the opponent's three points, he felt that he was much more accurate.

He is not a magnanimous person either, he felt a bit of resentment towards Yang Rui, he felt that he had been treated unfairly and should have more opportunities to express himself.

In his eyes, Carter is just a rookie who is good at running and jumping.

To put it bluntly, this buddy can only see his own advantages, but not his shortcomings, and he has a serious second-degree illness.
