The genius of the basketball madman is on the left

"Oh oh oh?"

"what's the situation!"

"We can see that the Knicks' five substitutes are all warming up. Does this mean that they will all be replaced?"

"Sure enough, five up and five down! The Knicks made an amazing substitution choice in just over a minute of the game. The starting five were: Zuo Li, Randolph, Chandler, Belinelli, Dragic Qi was all replaced!"

Along with the surprised words of the commentator, the Knicks also successfully completed the substitutions. At this time, the five players on the Knicks are David Lee, Anderson, Danny Green, Curry and Crawford.

A short but highly flexible dual-point lineup. This is the first time the Knicks have replaced all five substitutes at once this season.

There was a loud noise at the scene, and Barkley, the commentator of TNT, rubbed his bald head: "Are the Knicks going to give up this game? Are they going to take a collective rest? Stop playing? Let go?"

"It's possible," Kenny Smith nodded in agreement, "Otherwise, I can't explain why all the main players were replaced at the beginning. The frame also covered Bosh, causing the Raptors to start without a point, but this is only the beginning after all, and a 5-point advantage is nothing."

"So the only possibility is that the Knicks will give up strategically in this game."

Kenny Smith gave his own answer in a serious manner. This answer is similar to what the outside world guessed, that is, in order to avoid the trouble caused by the direct rotation of the main players, the Knicks chose to find another way and change to a method of rotation.

Many fans joked on the Internet:

"Popovich turned on the TV, picked up his laptop..."

"Rivers called the expert!"

"Zen master Da Fei'er shouted: I can still do this! I have learned it!"

"League coaches, come to D'Antoni to steal from me and see what an old fox is."

……

The Raptors also felt very uncomfortable. Without him, they felt that they were underestimated.

Especially Dragon King Bosh, his face became even more ferocious. Although they are a weak team, although they lose about 20 points per game against the Knicks, although they are all ready to play badly, but!

This is no reason for you to underestimate us!

So Bosh yelled at his teammates: "Cheer up for me! Let them see what happens when they underestimate us tonight!"

"Okay!" The Raptors, a group of players who are usually used to playing poorly, were instantly refreshed.

To be honest, the Raptors have done a lot of work this season.

This summer, the biggest roster change for the Raptors was the signing-and-trading of the Magic free agent Hedo Turkoglu, and then they sent away Jason Kapono and traded for Reggie - evans.

In the subsequent draft, the Raptors used the No. 9 pick in their hands to pick off the swingman DeMar DeRozan from the University of Southern California.

The Raptors lost Shawn Marion, Corris Humphries and Nathan Jawai in the Turkoglu trade.

At the same time, the original main shooting guard Anthony Parker joined the Cavaliers as a free agent, while the Raptors signed Garrett Jack and Nesterovic.

Carlos Delfino and Rocco Vukic were sent to the Bucks in exchange for Amir Janssen and Sonny Wiems.

It is not difficult to see that compared with last season, the Raptors have basically changed half of the team, and all the efforts of the team general manager Colangelo are just to keep Bosh's heart.

But how to put it, maybe they will never think that the most worthwhile operation is to choose DeRozan.

Neither Reggie Evans nor Turkoglu has achieved the expected results, especially Turkoglu, who has been given high hopes by the Raptors and even the entire Northland fans, completely lost the aura of the Magic last season.

The core of the Magic's offense last season was undoubtedly Turkoglu. Without him, Warcraft this season is obviously out of touch with the outside line. This is why the strength of Warcraft is obviously stronger than last season, but the average points per game is three times lower than last season. reason for the score.

And leaving Turkoglu seems to have lost his state. Without the big inside core of Warcraft to attract firepower inside, plus Bosh is a face-up player who likes to float on the outside, and he also likes to attack with the ball in front of the frame. Turkog Lu's room to play suddenly disappeared.

Bosh didn't need him to organize, he did it himself, Turkoglu became an outside turret, and the most deadly thing is, like Bosh, he can't defend well...

Fortunately, there are only a few strong teams in the East. Although Turkoglu is not easy to use, the new inside substitute is still very good, so until now, Turkoglu has basically nothing to do. , and the Raptors still returned to the tactical system around Bosh, which is no different from when they advanced to the playoffs a few years ago.

In Zuo Li's memory, the Raptors played well in the early stage and once ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference, but then Bosh was injured and reimbursed. Didn't make it to the playoffs.

Even if you get in, it's actually free. This lineup is only at this level, basically the level of the first round of the playoffs. The top four in the Eastern Conference are currently too strong.

However, this also gave Bosh a reason to leave the team. Counting the time, it is not too early to decide to leave.

As for what Bosh and the others thought in their hearts, Zuo Li would definitely cry out for being wronged if he found out!

He doesn't look down on the Raptors, on the contrary, he thinks the Raptors are too suitable, too suitable as a sharpening stone for the Knicks to help the bench find their confidence and status!

The scene goes back to yesterday. After the training, D'Antoni and Zuo Li communicated daily. D'Antoni naturally knew the main reason for the current team's mediocre state, but he obviously didn't have a particularly good solution.

In the past, when encountering such things as the rookie wall, it was necessary to slowly find the state, and work hard on daily training, rehabilitation, diet, sleep, etc., and even serious cases required the intervention of a psychologist.

There is no way, the intensity of the NBA is too great, and ordinary rookies will encounter problems, and there are very few such as Zuo Li.

And Zuo Li proposed a method, that is, when facing the Raptors, the substitutes' playing time should be extended, so that they can fight more and give them more confidence!

"In this way, they will pass this time as soon as possible!" Zuo Li said: "Our lineup is deep enough, and their physical fitness also needs to break through barriers. After all, neither the NCAA nor other leagues can match the strength here, so they Physical strength is at the limit, I think, it's time to break through this limit!"

D'Antoni thought for a while, and agreed. Obviously, he thought Zuo Li's suggestion was very reasonable... Moreover, before the All-Star Game, he felt that the main players could take a proper rotation.

So, the five ups and five downs in the opening game appeared like this!

Facing the aggressive Raptors, Zuo Li just wanted to say "I'm sorry".

"Sorry, I can only let you be the whetstone once!"
