Chapter 203 [A game, a dream]

Of course, Larry Brown can't always arrange Iverson, Snow and McGrady to match up, but as long as they match up, McGrady will definitely be able to easily get shots.

He played against Iverson, 205CM and 183CM, one head higher.

Snow is only 191cm tall and is a point guard.McGrady doesn't need to break through, as long as he keeps his shooting touch.Not only can he pull up, he can also post up, turn around and shoot, and if no one is double-teamed, he has absolute confidence to blow up the 76ers' perimeter.

He can defy all point guard interference. In the summer when the brothers practice against each other, Carter can't block McGrady unless he takes off early.

Yang Rui said with a smile: "Now find a sparring coach for a jumper. You play the starting point guard at night, and you have unlimited shot rights. I'll let him pass the ball to you from Vince. I hope you can play the best stats in your career."

"Yes, coach!"

McGrady was excited to find a sparring coach to practice the ball alone. This season he is a contract year, and playing good statistics is related to how big the next contract can be.He didn't have much playing time before, and he was having a headache.

Yang Rui, like countless Chinese fans in his previous life, liked Iverson, the short scoring champion, and watched countless 76ers games. He knew both Iverson's strengths and his weaknesses.

Iverson's strengths are his speed, technique, fearlessness, super desire to win, and the resonance his height brings to fans.None of these virtues, however, overshadow the fact that he is a defensive black hole.

That's right, even in Yang Rui's previous life, Iverson averaged more than 10 steals per game in 2 seasons, 9 consecutive seasons averaging more than 2.1 steals per game, and 3 consecutive seasons in steals. His defense is also very bad, very bad .

Iverson's defense method is to gamble on steals. This defense has won him a beautiful steal data, and more often he will be out of position on defense, and the opponent will directly get a shot or go to the basket.It's not good if you don't defend like this, he is too thin.

Usually Larry Brown starts the poor-shooting defensive blue-collar Eric Snow in order to make up for the deficiencies of Iverson's defense and let Snow guard the opponent's main scorer.

If the Raptors start with a five-swinger formation, who will Iverson guard?Either Carter or Maddie.Yang Rui intends to directly kill the 76ers and use the easiest way to break Brown's defensive system.

Brown is good at pseudo-zone defense and fast break defense. Players rotate quickly on the periphery, can resist people on the inside, and don't run tactics, which is what pulls Brown to the rhythm of the Raptors.

X**D, the Raptors are definitely better than the 76ers.

Yang Rui has never been under pressure to go out of the army, and he does what he says. Although he retains his memory, his dominant mind is the rebirth.For him, the NBA is a place to play B, a game and a dream.

In this dream-like life, of course he can do whatever he wants.

To continue to increase the weight of Carter and Maddie in the president's heart, stepping on Iverson is a shortcut, and he will not be polite.This is related to the home whistle and star whistle of the playoffs.

Yang Rui talked to Carter, but he was less likely to shoot in one game, and he was naturally willing to help his cousin brush the data.

Yang Rui said very clearly, whether the main attack depends on the 76ers' defensive position.

Christie and Miller took the rest directly, and this game will not be played.Players are accustomed to Yang Rui's arrangement of letting players take vacations.

Christie is healthy, but he struggles to guard a speedy guard like Iverson, and he's not as good as Hornacek in [-]-pointers.

Miller bumped his knee while playing. It was not a big problem. Yang Rui decided to let him rest.He was bullish on Miller and didn't want him to take any risks.

On the side of the 76ers, Brown taught the players after training and wanted to win this game.

The team's poor record of 2 wins and 4 losses is on the one hand, and on the other hand, Brown particularly hates Yang Rui.

However, he must rely on Iverson to give him enough playing time to help him play 100% of his combat effectiveness, because as long as Iverson participates in games, all arenas will be full, even if those fans are supportive My own home team also appreciates Iverson very much.

If it were Yang Rui, he would definitely not be depressed.Why make yourself so miserable?Just coaching in the NCAA, what kind of NBA?

Brown will not make decisions so easily. He is a tangled person. He likes to use his old-fashioned thinking to regulate everyone. He wants to change the other party, and thinks it is right.

Therefore, although Brown has the ability to play a bad card well, in Yang Rui's previous life, he changed 7 teams, almost every time he fell out with the management and broke up unhappily.

Brown instilled the concept of defense and asked his players to guard against the Raptors' major offensive points, how to guard against pick-and-rolls, and how to switch pitchers in time. .

He hates Yang Rui's randomness and arrogance, but he has to admit that the talent of the young Raptors is too terrifying.Under Yang Rui's leadership, the Raptors are a super team.

On the evening of the 14th, the Raptors' home court continued to be full. Live on MSG TV with narrators Mike Brin and Walter Fraser.

As the players warmed up, Brin bragged about the Raptors. "I like to comment on the Raptors game the most. They played very passionately, and the players have strong personal ability. Since the start of the game, there has been only one game with less than 120 points."

Fraser laughed: "This year's Star Weekend has another slam dunk contest, and fans must be looking forward to seeing Carter's performance."

Brin said: "Carter was relatively low-key in college. North Carolina's number one star was Jamison. Now it seems that the North Carolina coach has not given him enough space to show himself. He is better than Jamison."

The game is about to start, and the Raptors' starting lineup is eye-catching.McGrady, Carter, Jumaine Jones, Detrev, O'Neal Jr.

Small-ball tactics, four swingers, and the rookie also started.

Brin said with a smile: "Jerry Yang started experimenting again today. The shortest Carter is 198CM, and the starting lineup is all forwards. What is this for?"

Fraser wondered: "They're all big guys, how can they guard against Iverson?"

Yang Rui didn't want to prevent Iverson at all, but just wanted to make the star soar more fiercely. It doesn't matter if Iverson scores 60 points, he can defend everyone else and still win.

He just has this confidence, because Iverson scored a career-high 60 points, and he got it against the Magic. In that game, he made 27 of 24 free throws from the free throw line, tying Willie Burton's 1994 free throw record.

The Raptors' defensive system is mainly based on contraction, blocking the penalty area and trying to let Iverson shoot from the middle and long distances, and the big man must do better to interfere.

76ers starting five: Iverson, Snow, Billy Owens, George Lynch, Ratliff.

The four starters are defensive blue-collars. The tallest Ratliff is 208cm tall, weighs 102kg, and is good at blocking shots.Both forwards are 203cm tall and weigh 100kg. They are highly mobile and good at preventing pick-and-rolls.

Larry Brown is a master at defending and controlling the rhythm of the game. He always has a way to lower his opponent's shooting percentage and win the game with a slightly better offense.With the rotten lineup of the 76ers this year, Yang Rui will not coach for any amount of money.

The two sides jumped the ball. Ratliff had amazing bouncing ability and accurate prediction. He defeated O'Neal Jr. Snow received the ball and passed it to Iverson immediately, and McGrady was the main defense.

Iverson did not wait for the defense to take a position, and suddenly accelerated to get rid of McGrady, lowered his center of gravity and forcibly passed Detrev, and quickly picked up the basket to score. 0 to 2.

He is so fast!
