NBA: This flower path is a bit strong.

Then, time came directly to the Raptors' first attack phase of the game.

What? A jump ball?

I'm not targeting anyone, when it comes to jump balls, all the Bulls players are losers!

The Raptors, as always, were driven forward by Damon Stoudemire.

However, the positioning of this Raptors player surprised many people at the scene!

Unlike the previous G1 and G2, Hanamichi and Oakley moved to the penalty area as soon as the game started.

This time, not a single Raptors player fell into the restricted area!

Instead, it is a "four outside and one inside" positioning method that has never been seen before.

That is, two guards are positioned at the top of the arc, two forwards are positioned on the wings, and another player is positioned in the high position.

"It seems that the Raptors have taken the initiative to change their offensive tactics, but I don't know how effective it will be!"

The commentator Ma Fu couldn't see the mystery of this tactic.

But in his opinion, the Raptors' inside advantage when they were left open on offense was not a good thing for the future!

So it was a very pertinent question.

As for another commentator, Bill Walton, it was not a question, but a naked irony:

"The Toronto Raptors only sought change in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals, which shows how far the Chicago Bulls have pushed the Toronto Raptors."

"Perhaps the only suspense in this game is whether Michael will score 30 or 40 points!"

Well, another one of God’s boasts!

As for the Cardinal, Auerbach narrowed his eyes slightly, and no one knew what he was thinking.

On the court, the positioning space for the five Raptors players was maintained between 3.5 meters and 4.5 meters.

Point guard Stoudemire passed the ball directly to Doug Christie in the left corner from the top of the arc.

After that, [Little Flying Squirrel] took a step forward and cut into the left side of the basket.

At the same time, Hua Dao in the high position took a step forward at the right time and made a screen to block Ron Harper who was defending Das.

Everything was as if it had been rehearsed.

"No, stop him!"

While the "Old Rogue" on the court was guarding Doug Christie who received the ball in the corner, he also observed the movements of other Raptors players on the court out of the corner of his eye.

In his opinion, Doug Christie, who was "afraid to move" because of his defense, was not to be feared.

The one to really watch out for is Damon Stoudemire cutting into the empty paint.

He was like a sharp knife, stabbing straight into the weakest point of the Chicago Bulls.

As expected, [Little Flying Squirrel] is indeed the type of player that [Old Rogue] thought was difficult to defend at the beginning of last season!

At this moment, it was too late for [Old Rogue] to shout.

After receiving the ball, Doug Christie, while retaining the three-point deterrence in the left corner, hit the ball to the moving Stoudemire.

The latter received the ball and easily made a layup.

Such a fast and smooth attack made Pi Er, who was defending Ben Wallace on the right side and also assisting in defending Hua Dao, give up the idea of ​​going forward to provide backup defense.

"Very beautiful back-cutting tactic!"

"The Raptors players worked very well together, and everything was so natural."

"It seems like they came prepared for this game!"

Comrade Zhang Heli served as the commentator in the live broadcast room, and completely focused on the Raptors team.

This is no wonder. After all, their boss is in this team. Who else can they support if not them?

But the commentator Ma Fu found it very strange:

"The first goal was not scored by the star player!"

"Of course, guys, you know what I mean. Although Damon Stoudemire is also a core outside player, I mean [Dragon King] Flower!"

"According to the data, he basically scored the first goal in the first few series!"

"It's the same in most other teams. Generally, unless there are special circumstances, the first ball will be given to the team leader to try his hand."

Bill Walton touched his chin and waited to observe:

"It seems that the Raptors' tactics are very weird!"

He is not worried about the Raptors. On the contrary, as a die-hard fan of the Bulls, he is worried about the Bulls.

Generally speaking, in the playoffs, a head coach would dare to leave the team's core player alone and waste his energy to serve as a wall and cover for other players.

Either you are confident or you are just being complacent.

But as Bill Walton looked toward the Raptors' dugout, it was clear that Brandon Malone was not the latter.

But next, the Bulls' offensive round.

After Michael received the ball, he made a mid-range jump shot with his "excellent waist".

Bill Walton, who was originally a little skeptical, was completely relieved:

"Maybe Flower can do a great job in these screen and support jobs, but what I want to say is that the Raptors will lose more than they gain!"

"The playoffs are the stage for the stars. The Raptors are really wasting their talent by letting Flower do these [dirty jobs]!"

However, Auerbach, who was in the private room, could see clearly the movements of all the Raptors players because of his perspective.

When 99% of the people at the scene were looking at Hanamichi, Stoudemire and Doug Christie.

But he saw clearly the actions of Ben Wallace and Walter Williams on the right.

"It smells a bit like that old guy!"

Red Auerbach is an old acquaintance of Pete Carril, who entered the NBA last year with the Princeton tactics.

Therefore, even if he is not completely familiar with the latter's signature skills and tactics, he at least knows more about them than the average person.

But the strange thing is that Pete Carril joined the Kings.

Moreover, his tactics have not yet found a Post Player (a tall player in the interior) who has a high basketball IQ, is good at passing, and has excellent and stable mid-range and long-range shooting abilities.

"Maybe it's a coincidence!"

Auerbach decided to keep watching.
