Chapter 301 [Starting winning streak, invincible team! 】

In mid-October, Stana flew to Los Angeles to participate in Jennifer Aniston's film "The Girl in the Rye", where she played the role of a vase and was considered the second female lead.

As soon as his girlfriend left, Yang Rui found himself tired of living in Toronto.

Time flies faster when the day stays the same.He talks tactics every day, chats with the players, trains, goes home, the cycle goes on and on.

Yang Rui can't feel any new ideas. The Raptors have a strong lineup this year. He feels that they will definitely win, which is not exciting at all.

The preseason proved this. The Raptors won all 7 games easily, the stars didn't play much time, and the rookies were all ready to fight.

Kirilenko's defense is very good now. He moves at an amazing speed and can keep up with the point guard. His 228CM wingspan can easily interfere with opponents' shots, and he can also help defend and block shots from the side.Guys like him are the nightmare of all perimeter scorers.

The tactics that Yang Rui arranged for him are very simple. Keep an eye on the opponent's perimeter scorer, attack the bottom corners and flanks and other opportunities, cut to the basket at any time, and catch the ball to hit the basket.

Kirilenko can play as a starter. He has a good sense of passing and can basically send the ball to the position his teammates need. He is only a little worse than those top swingmen.His ability to handle the ball is average or even below average among small forwards, with few singles and breakthroughs.He has range, barely qualified mid-to-long shots, and strong finishing ability at the basket, so the most efficient way to play is to cut. ?
Parker is also eye-catching. He has a high ball IQ and has a lot of applicable tactics.And the high pick-and-roll of the big inside line, the breakthrough after the pull, the empty cut movement, etc.He is not inferior to Boykins on the offensive end, and he is much stronger than Boykins on the defensive end.

Veteran Tracy Murray and Dan Marley are all suitable for the Raptors system, just open and wait for a three-pointer.Even though they are experienced, the two have little playing time due to their poor athletic ability.The main substitutes are Halprin and Jumaine.

The Raptors and Wizards played two preseason games, which were broadcast live on multiple radio stations.Everyone wanted to see Jordan compete with his successor. Jordan had just retired when Carter entered the league, which is a pity.

As a result, Carter didn't play for a long time, and the Raptors' role players grabbed the spotlight and abused the Wizards.

Jr. O'Neal singled out the 203cm-tall Puopeye-Jones just to play, and Miller pulled out and made a few heavy insiders of the Wizards big.The new coach of the Wizards is veteran coach Doug Collins, but his players are too weak, his tactical system is not very effective, and he can't attack or defend.

Jordan is getting old. Once he managed to get out of the defense and cut to the basket. Chris Whitney threw the ball into the air. Everyone thought he was going to make a dunk. It turned out that he just lobbed the layup and threw the ball. Gently hit the board into the basket.

A 116-89 game, a 111-82 game, the Raptors' last group of substitutes were all pressing the Wizards to play. If the starting time is long, the score difference will definitely be unwatchable.

Jordan couldn't help but wonder if he had made a serious mistake in his comeback with the Wizards?

In the first official power list, the Raptors ranked first, followed by the Lakers, and everyone began to be optimistic about them.

After two days of adjustment, the regular season begins.

On October 10, the Raptors challenged the 30ers away and won 76-108.The first game slaughter seems to have become a tradition for the Raptors. Iverson missed the opener due to injury, and the team could not organize an effective offense at all.

This is also the reason Iverson won the regular season MVP last season. In Larry Brown's tactical system, he is too important.

Before the start of the game, the 76ers, Hornets and Warriors completed a three-way deal. The 76ers brought back ill-tempered former star power forward Derek Coleman, sent multiple role players and forward George Lynch, and a protected first-round pick in 2005.

In the summer, Tyron Hill switched to the Cavaliers, and the 76ers' front line has been changed. Their goal is to win the championship. The first game was beaten with cold water. This lineup alone, plus Iverson, is not much better.

On the 31st, the Raptors overturned the Heat back-to-back and won two straight.

Mourning's comeback performance was not bad, scoring a double-double of 20 points and 11 rebounds, Eddie Jones 25 points, and Brian Grant also had 14 points and 10 rebounds.

The Heat did not lose to the Raptors in the frontcourt. The outsiders, Anthony Carter and Kendall Gil, were blown up by Billups and Reid, and the final score was 108 to 97.

On November 11, the Raptors opened their home game against the Mavericks.

In the summer, the Mavericks recruited troops to buy horses. 119 to 92.

小奥尼尔24分12篮板3助攻，比卢普斯20分8助攻，卡特25分5篮板7助攻，替补控卫托尼-帕克也拿下18分5助攻。

Parker and Mark Jackson played pick-and-rolls and made several breakthroughs.He has a quick start-up speed and good control of the shifting rhythm. He can easily change directions and turn at high speeds, and his feet are solid.Whether it's veteran Danny Manning or "big bamboo" Sean Bradley, they can't keep up with Parker after dislocation.

The Mavericks center position is not good at defending, no matter how many attackers are in vain, the lineup is unreasonable.

On the 4th, the Raptors defeated the Pacers 113-81 at home. This win was easier. Both Best and Camby were troubled by fouls and went down early to rest.Ron Mercer came off the bench and was hit by Kirillian's continuous defense. He only scored 21 points in 2 minutes throughout the game, which was worse than when the Bulls did.

Kirilenko plays about 20 minutes per game and shows great talent. He is just afraid of the muscular stick that relies on his body to play. As long as the opponent is mainly attacking the face frame, he can play.

On the 7th, the Raptors defeated the Warriors 121-92.

Carter broke out, making 24 of 12 shots, 9 of 6 three-pointers, 10 of 9 free throws, scored 39 points, 10 rebounds and 6 assists, and taught Larry Hughes to be a man every minute.

As the No. 2 position, Hughes is 196cm tall, and 85kg is too light. Carter can't handle it by forcefully breaking through.Hughes had 13 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, and the offensive end was quite satisfactory.

Jamison and O'Neal faced off against each other, and fell on the downside overall, making 12 of 3 shots, 1 of 1 three-pointer, and 7 of 3 free throws. He had only 10 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.

Carter's girlfriend is the sister of Jamison's wife. The two have a very good relationship and have always been in close contact.Jamison often complained to Carter that he felt bad for his life.If he just entered the league without that deal, and he joined the Raptors, he would never be so miserable now.

On the 10th, the Raptors defeated the Jazz 106-98.

Carter maintained a brave state, and Yang Rui also arranged for him to have unlimited shots. After 40 minutes of playing, he made 32 of 14 shots, 14 of 8 three-pointers, and 7 of 7 free throws. He scored 43 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists.

Veteran Brian Russell's quality declined and he was mistreated. He played 29 minutes, 7 of 0 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 2 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists.

The Jazz did not select Kirilenko, and the bench was John Wallace. The swing man position is too weak.Now the Jazz still rely on Karl Malone. He is the core on both ends of the offense and defense. When Malone came off the court, the backup power forward Padgett was also cleaned up by Halprin.

比卢普斯也有高效发挥，12投10中，三分球7中5，罚球3中1，得到26分4助攻。

Ostertag was bad at defending pick-and-rolls, Stockton was weak, couldn't jump up in pursuit and defense, couldn't cover Billups, and he could only watch him shoot cold arrows from the outside again and again.

If it weren't for Donyell Marshall's super-level performance, 11 of 10 shots, 8 of 6 free throws, 26 points and 9 rebounds, the Jazz would have to surrender in three quarters.

It's time for the Jazz to rebuild, and they can barely make the playoffs with perseverance and tacit cooperation.

The Raptors became the focus of the news. After six consecutive victories, it was found that the Raptors seemed to have changed back to the invincible team in 2000!
