Chapter 319 [Domineering buckle, full tacit understanding]

The Raptors attacked, Jerome James didn't stay in the low post, just to attract O'Neal's defense, Carter held the ball in the middle to face Kobe, played as a forward, and waited for Billups to run the screen and pass the ball.

At this time, Fisher was still a "little fish" instead of an "old fish". He moved very fast and chased and defended in place, but this was all expected by Yang Rui, and the players knew what to do.

Billups leaned back and turned around, hitting the ground and passing the ball to O'Neal Jr., who was backing for the ball at the left horn.

Little O'Neal received the ball and turned around to the bottom line. 6 to 0.

The 32-year-old Horry has a good defense and is above the league average with experience, but this is for ordinary insiders, and he will definitely be deflated against star insiders.

If he can resist Duncan and Webber, he doesn't need to defend, as long as the efficiency is limited, the Lakers can beat the Spurs and Kings in the past three years, and they will not be madly abused by the Jazz.

Little O'Neal is now at the level of a super power forward, and he is more confident than Yang Rui's previous life.His attacking range is within the three-point line with no dead ends. He has an overall advantage in height, wingspan, and bounce. With a height of 206cm, Horry, who is 102kg, can't defend.

The Lakers attacked, and Bryant hoisted the ball to O'Neal for a heads-up.O'Neal turned to the middle this time and faltered with the ball. Jerome didn't jump or foul, but just raised his hands to interfere. O'Neal took a step forward and threw the ball in. 6 to 2.

Xu Jicheng said curiously: "Today, it seems that Yang Rui does not intend to use the shark slashing tactics, O'Neal does whatever he wants."

Zhang Lili said: "Yang Rui didn't talk about slashing sharks before the game. I think it has something to do with the depth of the inside lineup. Now the Raptors only have three big men inside, and Jalen Collins doesn't have enough game experience. If Jerome, Miller is in foul trouble, and it's not good for the Raptors."

Collins is too young, and he is fouled when he plays. As a rookie at the end of the second round, he is too reluctant to deal with the league's top centers.So Yang Rui chose to seek stability.

If Mark Jackson hadn't been reimbursed, O'Neal would have killed two strong wrestling men.Now Yang Rui has to wait until the score is too high or use the shark slashing tactics in the second half. If O'Neal, who is full of energy, makes the penalty, it will be difficult to send out confidence.

O'Neal has an obvious advantage against Jerome, and the same is true for O'Neal against Horry.

Carter drew Kobe's defense and scored the ball, ran to the bottom corner on the right to open space, and after Billups was caught up by Fisher, he took two steps, lobbed the ball to O'Neal at close range, and ran by himself. to the bottom left corner.

Little O'Neal turned to face the frame, grabbed the ball for a meal, attracted Horry to raise his hands, dribble the ball and break through. He forced a layup on the left side and missed under interference.

O'Neal grabbed a backcourt rebound and passed it to Kobe, and the Lakers made a fast break.The Raptors players retracted quickly. Seeing that no one was being double-teamed, Kobe lowered his center of gravity and rushed to the inside line. He leaned on Kirilenko to the basket, pulled the bar with both hands for a layup, made two fake moves in the air to avoid the block, and his right hand was close range. Throw the ball in. 6 to 4.

In terms of ability to stay in the air, Kobe can rank in the top ten in NBA history, and fake moves in the air make it easier for him to avoid blocks.

Yang Rui sighed on the sidelines: In basketball, the body really comes first. Superman is more likely to become a star than ordinary people. If you work hard, it will be difficult to fail.

The Raptors attacked the same way. Fisher became more and more skilled in chasing and defending, but it was useless. Billups was taller than him. Scheer couldn't stop it.

Billups' pass usually does not add assists, which makes it easy for people to ignore his role. In fact, this kind of person with super execution can be called a top point guard.If there is one person from the Raptors that Yang Rui wants to take away the most, it is Billups, but he has a contract now and it is difficult to trade.

In Yang Rui's previous life, when comparing Chris Paul and Billups, almost everyone would think that Paul is stronger. In fact, Paul and Billups' team played against each other, with few wins, and their efficiency plummeted. Pretty much the same. In the 2009 playoffs, Billups' Nuggets beat Paul's Hornets by 58 points, making Paul out of temper.

Little O'Neal singled out Horry again, leaned his back on his left side, shook his left shoulder lightly, and turned to the bottom line.He moved smoothly and passed Horry.

O'Neal made up the defense to the basket, and O'Neal passed the ball with both hands when he saw it.At this time, Carter got rid of Kobe Bryant under the cover of Jerome, cut in, took a step to catch the ball and took off with all his feet.

O'Neal was at the basket, and when he turned around, he saw Carter jumping up. He didn't have time to take off and foul. Carter slammed the ball into the basket with one hand and threw his legs on O'Neal. 8 to 4.

This is almost a dunk, and the fans are madly shouting "MVP"!Carter was happy, and made a celebration of riding a motorcycle when he returned to defense.

O'Neal was humiliated. He was on the left side. Fox passed the ball to him. O'Neal slammed Jerome hard, turned quickly towards the baseline, and jumped up with the ball in both hands to prepare for a dunk.

Jerome remembered the coach's explanation that he could shoot, but not dunk. He gritted his teeth and jumped up with both hands to pull O'Neal out of the air, and the ball dropped.

The referee blew the whistle and O'Neal made a free throw. 8 to 5.

O'Neal got angry when he got back on defense, realizing that Jerome was the kind of center he hated the most.As a black and strong man, Jerome's confrontation ability is stronger than that of Jazz's Ostertag and Blazers' Sabonis. O'Neal wants to dunk under this kind of person's defense, rather than against Duncan and Garnett's defensive lineup. is much more difficult.

The Raptors attacked, and Billups dribbled the ball to the frontcourt. The Raptors also changed their routine after playing side screens several times in a row. Jerome gave Carter no-ball cover in the middle and blocked Kobe.

Carter suddenly accelerated to the left and Billups passed the ball quickly.

Carter took a step forward to catch the ball and made a 50-degree pull-up jumper. Kobe bypassed Jerome's pursuit and the ball flew to the basket when he took off. O'Neal did not switch defenses near the penalty area.

Carter's rhythm of the ball is very good, just hit a time difference, the ball hollow into the net. 10 to 5.

The Lakers attacked, the players pulled away, Fox lobbed the ball to O'Neal again, and Kobe and Fisher also began to run.O'Neal relied on Jerome to give Fisher the ball, and he and Horry got rid of Billups off the ball screen.

O'Neal Jr.'s low-post dominance can't be compared to O'Neal's, and his defense against pick-and-rolls is much better, and his defense was blocked in front of Fisher in a very timely manner.

Fisher gave the ball to Horry, who feinted from the [-]-point line and missed the shot.

Horry dribbled with his back to protect the ball, waited for O'Neal to be in position, and hoisted the ball to the left low position.O'Neal pushed his back twice, turned and hooked in the middle, dodged the block and scored. 10 to 7.

The Raptors attacked, and Billups slowly moved to the frontcourt and stretched out a finger to signal to his teammates.

Fisher lowered his center of gravity and prepared to prevent him from passing or cutting, because he always looked for Carter every time he brought it over. As a result, Billups suddenly made a three-pointer from the left. Fisher's reaction was slow and he didn't have time to take off and interfere.

The arc of the ball is not high, it is very positive, and it hits the back edge of the basket and bounces into it. 13 to 7.

Even if they don't get in, O'Neal Jr. and Jerome are ready to rush for offensive rebounds, and the Raptors players have a tacit understanding.

"Zen Master" didn't call a timeout, and frowned on the sidelines. Two years later, the Lakers still couldn't defend against the Raptors' attack.
