Chapter 373
For Xiong, DeRozan is a teammate he likes very much.Before he joined the Raptors, he knew about this player a long time ago.In his opinion, DeRozan, who lacks 3-point shooting skills, has too obvious shortcomings as a No. 2 position, which may limit him from becoming a better player.But since the two became teammates, he suddenly discovered that DeRozan's personality is very restrained, even a little unconfident, which feels incompatible with his explosive physical fitness.In addition, he was pleasantly surprised to find that DeRozan has no major shortcomings in other aspects except for the big disadvantage of 3 points, but there are many advantages.Especially on the offensive end, his offense with the ball is very good, whether it is a mid-range jumper after a pick-and-roll or a singles turn-around jumper after holding the ball, an emergency stop jumper, a strong attack at the basket, especially fouls, and the Thunder's James Harden. fight.DeRozan's passing has not yet been developed, but his vision is not bad. Although it is impossible to become the core of LeBron's playmaker, it is not difficult to reach the average level.In terms of defense, it is currently relatively average, but with DeRozan's physical fitness, he has great potential.As for the 3-point shot, in his opinion, it can be practiced completely. Even if it can't reach the level of a shooter, it can at least prevent the opponent from letting him go.

In Casey's view, DeRozan has a good chance to become an All-Star player, but if he wants to become a superstar, he needs to work hard to improve his shortcomings.His character is not suitable to be the boss of a team, but as a deputy, it is still completely fine.

In Casey's future structure, DeRozan plays a very important role as Yingxiong's assistant, sharing the team's offensive firepower.

The game continued in the second half.After the trial in the first half, the two sides also had a certain understanding of the opponent's strength and playing style. At this time, the difference in points was not big, so the second half is the real decisive stage of this game.

For the Raptors, Calderon is still in charge, and Ying Xiong and DeRozan play off the ball.What makes Casey quite gratified is that Ying Xiong, as a player with such strong offensive and organizational skills, has practiced off-ball and shooting in his three-year career in the NBA, which is very important for enriching the team's tactics. As well as creating more possibilities, it is of great significance.

Casey's arrangement made Yingxiong off the ball, not really making him a spot-up shooter who opened up space.The purpose of his arrangement is that he does not want Ying Xiong to frequently start the pick-and-roll with the ball, and face the opponent's help defense pinch, which is difficult and consumes a lot of physical energy.And it is impossible for the opponent to double-team a player who moves without the ball, even if the player is very strong.After all, this is the NBA. If you are double-teamed without the ball, the other 3 players will have to mark the opponent's 4 players. The defensive pressure is too great, and it is more likely to cause the defense line to collapse.

Coach Casey's arrangement gave Van Gundy a headache.He originally pinched Yingxiong and forced him to pass the ball to other players to attack, because he was afraid of his singles ability.But at this time, it is not easy to flank him, unless he attacks with the ball after receiving the ball, but it is not so easy to grasp this kind of timing.Of the five starting players on the field for the Magic, the only one who can make Fan feel at ease on the defensive end is Warcraft.

Yingxiong's off-ball ability is one of the best in the team. Not only is his position clear, but he is also flexible and changeable, making it difficult for defensive players to grasp the rules and easily confused.

Turkoglu felt tired. He really wanted to switch defensive targets with Richardson, but remembering that Richardson was struggling to defend DeRozan just now, he couldn't bear to make this suggestion, so he could only grit his teeth and walk away. The old leg followed the opponent's Asian player who was very close to his own race and skin color.

After Ying Xiong received the ball, he stopped the pick-and-roll and went straight to the attack.With his attacking speed, the Magic would have no time to pinch, so Turkoglu could only defend alone, and Warcraft would assist in the defense inside.

Ying Xiong faced Turkoglu, and the right wing leaned on the opponent's left hand to force the ball.Turkoglu gritted his teeth and followed, trying not to be thrown off by the opponent.

Ying Xiong saw that no one from the opponent was coming to attack, he suddenly stopped and pulled the ball with his left hand quickly. After shaking off the opponent, he started to kill the basket.

Howard will not take off easily. He is very confident in his bullet speed, so he is rarely fouled by shaking.Of course, another reason is that Ying Xiong is shorter than him, as long as the other party doesn't jump, there is no need for him to jump.

Ying Xiong can jump naturally, and he can jump very high.He protected with his left hand and layup with his right hand...

The monster quickly jumped up and wiped away in the direction of Yingxiong Ball...

At this moment, Ying Xiong suddenly withdrew his right hand for the layup, quickly pulled it to the waist, and passed the ball behind his back to Amir Johnson on the other side of the basket.

Amir Johnson didn't expect that Yingxiong would pass the ball to him at this time, but he still reacted. Facing the basket that was close at hand, he made a practice-like wipe shot and put the ball into the basket .

The surprise of the fans at the scene was getting deeper and deeper. In their impression, it was too rare for this kind of pass to appear on a wing player.

Warcraft is also very depressed, the opponent does not play cards according to common sense, and there is nothing he can do.His growing dissatisfaction with his teammates with poor defensive ability strengthened his determination to leave.

In the next offensive round, Ying Xiong singled Turkoglu again, and after changing direction, he stopped and made a jump shot and caused the opponent's thug to foul.

Turkoglu defended Ying Xiong, who was nearly 10 years younger than him, and his physical fitness was far inferior to the opponent, and now he can't restrain the opponent.Under my own defense, the opponent wants to chug and shoot, but I seem to have no way to deal with him.

After Turkoglu was pierced by Ying Xiong, Da Fan finally couldn't sit still. He began to do everything he could to double-team Ying Xiong, even if he missed other Raptors players.In his opinion, instead of sitting and waiting, it is better to take a gamble and bet on the feel of other Raptors players except Yingxiong.

This kind of gambling is very risky, but for Magic, there seems to be no other way.Except for Warcraft, none of the other 4 deliberately restricted Yingxiong, and it was even difficult to restrict DeRozan, so they had to abandon the car to keep handsome.

The Magic's individual defensive ability is very average, and the rotation speed is also average, making it easy for Ying Xiong to distribute the ball to open teammates.

Since Warcraft always guards near the three-second zone, Bargnani, who is cruising on the outside, has thus gained a lot of open attack opportunities.

Ying Xiong kept feeding him the ball, and his touch was really good in this game, hitting consecutive shots.

The Magic couldn't restrain the opponent on the defensive end. On the offensive end, Richardson almost knocked the basket; Hard support.

Even though Redick continued to play bravely during the rotation stage, he still failed to prevent the team from losing this game.In the final analysis, Warcraft is not a super scorer. His scoring explosiveness is really average, and his dominance is still more reflected in defense and rebounding.Once the outside shooter is locked or out of shape, it becomes very difficult for the team to win.

A strong team with the goal of a championship was defeated at home by a team that was weak last season. This result is difficult for people to accept.After the game, Warcraft lowered his head and went back to the locker room without saying a word.Obviously, he was disappointed and frustrated.Losing is not terrible, what is terrible is who loses and in what way.This defeat made him see the true strength of the current team.
