Chapter 447 The first round of the playoffs G1
The entire Raptors team is very excited. The word "playoffs" is something that most NBA players like to associate with.

Not only the players, the mascot of the Raptors, the little dinosaur, showed his vigor and energy on the court to his heart's content.The on-site DJ is also constantly mobilizing the emotions of the fans and adjusting the atmosphere of the scene.

Many Raptors players performed dunks during practice before the game, which caused the fans to scream.

In this game, the starting lineup of the Raptors at home is: center - Aaron Gray, power forward - James Johnson, small forward - DeRozan, shooting guard - Ying Xiong, point guard - Calder Long.

The starting lineup of the away game Magic is: center - Glenn Davis, power forward - Ryan Anderson, small forward - Hido Turkoglu, shooting guard - Jason Richardson, point guard — Jameer Nelson.

After the Magic team was reimbursed for Howard's season, their "Warcraft substitute" at the 5th position was "Big Baby" Glenn Davis.

Glenn Davis is 206cm tall and weighs more than 130kg. Such a player is destined not to be good at moving, but his strength is absolutely fine.

The biggest embarrassment for the Magic right now is not Howard’s offensive output per game after he was reimbursed for the season, but as the core of the tactics on the offensive end. become a decoration.You Howard can attract double teams, but big baby, then...

On the defensive end, no one can replace Warcraft, who has won the best defensive player.At best, the big baby has some advantages in the top man, whether it is inside the frame, peripheral sweeps, or even grabbing rebounds, there is a huge gap with Warcraft.

——Without monsters, who will restrict Yingxiong who kills inside?

Big baby Glenn Davis with a jump ball near the middle circle for Aaron Gray.

It's really funny that two players who are not known for their jumping are being driven to jump the ball like a duck.

Relying on his height advantage, Along Gray grabbed the highest point and passed the ball to DeRozan.

DeRozan passed the ball to Calderon and the game officially began.

Calderon dribbles over steadily, looking for someone at the top of the arc.

DeRozan came to catch the ball and used Along Gray's pick-and-roll.The Magic's defensive strategy is to let the mobile 4th Ryan Anderson go outside to defend against pick-and-rolls, and let the huge baby shrink under the basket to protect the frame and grab rebounds.

DeRozan's 3-pointer was inaccurate, so the Magic's defensive player Richardson circled the screen instead of letting Ryan Anderson switch.

DeRozan gave the ball to Along Gray who went down, and the latter faced the big baby after receiving the ball, turned around and hooked-missed!
The big baby is not tall and weighs a lot, but he doesn't move fast, but he is more flexible than other big fat guys of the same weight, and he has obvious advantages in strength.Facing Along Grey, he withstood the opponent's foot, which affected the opponent's shot, and finally affected the hit rate.

Big Baby accepted the rebound and handed it to Nelson to advance.

The Magic does not have Warcraft on the offensive end, and lacks a strong point. For the shooters on the court, there will be much fewer opportunities to shoot open shots.But now there is no point in entangled with this matter, after all, the done deal.

Turkoglu caught the ball, faced the opposing defense, and tried to get away, but was unsuccessful.He returned the ball to Nelson and went to the corner to open up space.

With the help of the big baby's pick-and-roll, Nelson broke through with the ball.Big Baby is different from Howard in that he's just as good at covering and willing to do the dirty work.This is not the case with Howard.Howard is more willing to play hard singles in the low post, because he believes that a super center should be active in the low post, and the pick-and-roll will lose his identity.

Nelson forced Aaron Gray, who couldn't keep up, DeRozan helped defend, and missed Richardson in the bottom corner.

Nelson decisively points the ball to the bottom corner, Richardson seizes the opportunity and hits a 3-pointer!
Didn't expect the visiting team Magic to score first, and also hit a 3-pointer first, which made the Raptors fans a little uneasy.The home team has not proven itself in the playoffs, while the opponent has made it to the finals. The experience gap between the two sides is huge.Will it...

Calderon dribbled over and kept directing his teammates to move.Ying Xiong came out to catch the ball, faced Turkoglu, and held the ball beyond the 3-point line on the right wing.

Ying Xiong didn't call for a pick-and-roll. Facing the active Turkoglu, he crossed the ball in front of his body, suddenly lowered his center of gravity, started instantly, and broke through with his left hand.

Turkoglu is no longer what he was in his prime. His footsteps move, and ordinary small forwards can't keep up. How can he keep up with Ying Xiong.But he has no choice but to let Richardson defend, the effect is not even as good as his own!

Ying Xiong walked in with the ball and met the big baby, but didn't go to the basket. Half a step away from the free throw line, he made a smart emergency stop jump shot, which made both Turkoglu and the big baby under the basket catch up. There is no way.

Hit!Ying Xiong scored the first shot, which made the fans excited.The fans who were a little worried about Richardson's 3-pointer before instantly threw their worries away.

Yes, we have Ying Xiong, what are we afraid of?
Here Nelson broke through again, and this time Calderon was prepared, he bypassed the cover forcefully, kept in front of the opponent, and did not give the opponent any more points.

Nelson didn't get a chance and gave it to Ryan Anderson on the outside.

Ryan Anderson caught the ball and was immediately blocked by James Johnson.Coach Casey let James Johnson start in order to keep up with the opponent's footsteps and prevent the opponent from having an easy outside shot.Even without Howard, the Magic's shooters must not be underestimated. The picture of the Cavaliers' defeat is still vivid.

Ryan Anderson couldn't get rid of the opponent, so he had no choice but to pass the ball to Richardson in the corner.

Richardson is no longer the physical man who won the slam dunk title of the Golden State Warriors, and he is playing more and more outside. Over the years, his legs have become sluggish, and his explosive power has long since disappeared. It's all over, if you want to rely on him to kill the insider with a bag of explosives, don't have too much hope.

Richardson caught the ball and faltered, but DeRozan didn't take it. He had no choice but to break through with the ball, but the speed was too slow to break through. In desperation, he chose to make a strong shot-and missed.

Ying Xiong received the rebound and advanced with the ball himself.

The Magic's return to defense is not bad. Even though the players are no longer at their peak, the demeanor of a strong defensive team is still there. The defensive positions of the players still maintain a consistent level.

Ying Xiong didn't find a chance and returned the ball to Calderon.
