Chapter 711 The Weakness of the Raptors
The Nets made consecutive hits after the timeout, and Raptors coach Devin Casey immediately requested a timeout!

"Toronto is on hold!" Mike Breen said.

"Devin's call for a timeout was no problem. The timing was right. The opponent was about to start his momentum. At this time, he could break the opponent's morale, and he could also make some adjustments." Mark Jackson said.

"Just now, Jonas played a little anxiously!" Mike Breen said.

"Well, young man, it's normal to want to return one after being beaten by the other party," Mark Jackson said.

Back from the timeout, Jeremy Lin was replaced by Lowry.

In the next few minutes, the two sides played back and forth. The Raptors maintained a certain score advantage, but they did not easily widen the point difference.

Soon, the game entered the rotation stage.For the Raptors, Jeremy Lin is still leading the team's second team.The Raptors are led by Jarrett Jack and former Raptors player Alan Anderson.

Jack and Anderson, if they are allowed to start, may be a bit stretched, but when they return to the bench, they are like ducks in water, belonging to the type of "give a chance and get rewarded".

Obviously the Raptors have a stronger lineup on paper, but that's not the case in a fight. Both sides come and go, and no one can do anything to the other.

When Ying Xiong and other main players came back, the Raptors were only 2 points ahead of their opponents.To be precise, their second team even lost points.

"Mark, the second team in Toronto led by Jeremy didn't take advantage of it!" Mike Breen said.

"It's true that Jarick and Alan played too hotly in this game, and the offensive end was almost impossible to shoot. In this state, Toronto didn't lose many points, which is already very good." Mark Jackson said.

"It seems that this game will not be decided soon!" Mike Breen laughed.

"Actually, it depends on the response." Mark Jackson laughed.

Jeremy Lin slowly dribbled the ball over and gave it to Ying Xiong who had just played.

Ying Xiong held the ball, shook his shoulders, and moved his body.He just came up, and his body was still a little cold.

"Should look very relaxed." Mike Breen laughed.

"Shouldn't come across any scene, it's no surprise to him." Mark Jackson said.

Ying Xiong faced Bogdanovic with the ball and walked slowly up the line. Suddenly his left hand shook, and the ball flew into the hands of Hansbrough under the basket like a scalpel.

When Hansbrough catches the ball, it's a two-handed slam dunk!

"Bang -- strike!" Mike Breen explained enthusiastically.

"Brook's position was too high for this ball, and he didn't manage his defender!" Mark Jackson pointed out the mistakes of the Nets on the defensive end.

For the Nets, Deron pulls up for a jumper -- still no!So far in the game, he has not hit a single jumper, he is either hitting the front or the back, and there is even a non-stick...

"Deron's state is too..." Mike Brin hesitated to speak, but the meaning was obvious.

"If Deron can't play well, it will be difficult for Brooklyn in this round of the series. You can't count on Jarick and Alan every game!" Michael Jackson said.

For the Raptors, Ying Xiong received Jeremy Lin's point, cut to the basket, and made a layup!

"Good shot! The timing of this air cut is really well chosen!" Mike Breen couldn't help but praised.

"One of the great things about him is that he doesn't really do everything. His high scoring is often based on his high shooting percentage. Looking at his game specifically, he actually played very reasonably and did not Not alone," Mark Jackson explained.

On the Nets' side, Deron couldn't find his form for a long time, and the offensive ball naturally shifted to Brook Lopez inside.

Brook Lopez's offensive skills are indeed excellent. His range reaches beyond the 3-point line, and he has an absolute height advantage when playing Hansbrough.And he can turn his advantage into points.

Hansbrough was beaten twice in a row and was immediately replaced by Valanciunas, who is 213cm tall.

"Taylor was bullied for his height, and Devin quickly took Jonas up!" Mike Breen said.

"Jonas' defense is average, but he's 7 feet tall," Mark Jackson said.

In the next game, the two sides played their respective advantages, and soon the halftime game was over.

At the end of the half, the Raptors led the Nets by 51 points at 48:3.

"In the first half of the game, Brooklyn, Brook played really well!" Mike Breen said.

"Toronto's perimeter defense is excellent, and its interior defense is average compared to the league's top interior defense teams. Jonas has height, but whether it is defending pick-and-roll or interior single defense, he is far away from Marc Gasol or Andrew Bogut. There is still a long way to go for a top defensive insider in the league. The substitute insiders Patrick or Taylor have average height and athletic ability, and it is not very realistic to rely on them." Mark Jackson said.

"But this lineup in the regular season rarely has scenes where the inside is blown up!" Mike Breen said.

"Their interior defense is mediocre, not bad. Moreover, today is the era when the perimeter is king, and there are few excellent interiors in the league, so it will not expose Toronto's interior defense flaws." Mark Jackson said.

Section 3 started soon.

Deron slowly dribbles over.He played badly in the first half, almost like shit.There was not a single goal in the sports game, only relying on free throws to score a poor 2 points.As a first-class point guard in the league who once fought against CP3, it is embarrassing to be reduced to this point.

With the help of Brook Lopez's pick-and-roll, Deron used constant Crossover, changed the rhythm, and played Amir Johnson in a dislocation.His absolute speed could no longer easily pass the opponent, even if the opponent was an insider.So he has to use the rhythm and the constant change of the center of gravity to confuse the defender.

Deron took advantage of the rhythm and rushed in. After attracting the help defense, he distributed it to the outside singles Joe.

In singles, Qiao Yun took one step to attract the defense, and then divided Bogdanovic, who made a 3-pointer-hit!
The two sides draw!

"Deron played the ball very well!" Mike Breen praised.

But looking back, Jeremy Lin took the medicine according to the prescription, and Ying Xiong fired 3 shots from the outside, which was also a 3-point hit!
"Answer ball!" Mike Breen explained passionately.

"Deron's lateral movement is really too slow. It was not fast at the peak, but now that he has gained weight, he has become slower. When defending pick-and-rolls, he can't keep up with the ball holder, and he is hit by Jeremy. " Mark Jackson said helplessly.
