David commented: "With 31 points in a single quarter, the Raptors played very well in the first game, but if they want to win, it depends on the performance of the bench."

Clark said: "The Raptors don't have big-name stars, but they have a lot of potential newcomers, and there are veterans leading them, so they should be able to withstand it."

Yang Rui's goal is not to withstand the opponent's attack, so he sent an attacking lineup of Detref, O'Neal, Tracy McGrady, Carter, and Di Brown.

Alvin Williams was an important rotation last season, and he was directly reduced to a marginal man. He continued to sit on the bench with Miller and Leicester waiting for opportunities. Ryan Bowen and John Thomas were not included in the 12-man roster.

The roster arranged by Yang Rui is foolproof, including players of all styles, and the opponent has a heavy insider, so that Miller can also fight against it.

For the swingman position, the rotation of Carter, Tracy McGrady and Christie is sufficient.

In Yang Rui's opinion, Alvin is not worth cultivating. He is 196cm tall and weighs 84kg.

He has poor organizational skills in position 1 and average breakthroughs; he has poor confrontation ability in position 2 and average COSCO shots. The guest point guard can play a dozen games, but his strength is not as good as DiBron and Billups, so he is a "bad taste" in the team.

After the start of the second quarter, the Raptors suddenly broke out.

The tactics are the same as the arrangement in the first quarter, fast counterattack, no need to wait for teammates, can rush to shoot, can break through, McGrady, Carter, and Di Brown are all speedy, with amazing physical talents.

Needless to say, the other two, Di Brown, who is 185 cm, is not an ordinary person. He defeated "Rain Man" Kemp in the slam dunk contest in his rookie season with a long-range blindfolded dunk and won the championship.

Brown was seriously injured once in 1996. Since then, his offense has been changed to shooting three-pointers, and his breakthroughs have decreased. However, his quality is still far superior to ordinary people.

When encountering the running and bombing brigade, the Green Army's substitute soon couldn't stand it anymore.

Center Eric Riley is 213cm tall and weighs 111kg. He is not a threat if he doesn't go to the basket, and he can't go back if he goes to the basket. The Raptors grabbed the rebound inside and made a fast break as soon as the pass was passed.

The Celtics also had double guards on the outside, 180CM Barros and 188CM Marlon Garnett.

Judging by the name, there is no more fierce defender than the Celtics. However, he is a rookie who joined the NBA without being drafted. He has no body and experience. This is the first game of his career.

The Raptors also have ways to score in positional battles. McGrady is a point forward in the middle, and O'Neal and Detref both pull out to cover without the ball. Carter and Di Brown can run to catch the ball on both sides, and they can also cut to the inside.

After the cover, the inside switch was a little slow, and Carter made a successful air cut. After receiving a straight pass from McGrady in the middle, Da Fengche dunked and scored.

This routine is very simple. The Greens dare not relax their defense against Carter and veteran Detref. O'Neal on the weak side showed his strength again. After the dislocation, Anderson made two mid-range shots in singles, and once cut in to receive a lob pass from Carter. Dunk with both hands.

Power forward Walter McCarty, who is 208 cm tall and weighs 104 kg, had an accident as soon as he left O'Neal. He didn't switch defenses, and Di Brown also made a three-pointer.

If it weren't for McGrady's poor shooting touch, facing the 188CM guard Malone, he would not make three shots with better chances, and the Raptors would have directly settled the opponent in one wave.

Even so, they also played 13 to 4, and the point difference widened to 17 points.

Yang Rui guarantees the rotation and allocates the veteran's physical fitness reasonably.

Willis didn't play in the second quarter, Detref and O'Neal played full games, Billups replaced the mediocre Di Brown in 6 minutes, and Christie replaced Carter.

McGrady played the whole quarter and began to show off in the second half.

With his height and long arms, he has an obvious advantage in playing swingers. His center organization is convenient for observing his teammates' running positions and distributing the ball to a reasonable position. When the opponent thinks that he will definitely pass the ball, he suddenly takes a step, changes direction, and hits the basket in the middle. Come on, a dunk!

When fighting back,

McGrady also relied on his physical advantage to score two layups, completing a 2+1 and fouling Pierce. He scored 7 points in a single quarter and sent 4 assists.

Yang Rui used the classic style of play of James Cavaliers later, all the players opened up, and the forwards were organized in the middle. McGrady doesn't use his body to crush opponents like James, but he has an extremely fast first step and can attract defensive points like James.

Strictly preventing the defender from breaking through, the ball was distributed, and Detref also made a three-pointer.

The Raptors led 63 to 44 at halftime, and the Celtics were beaten silly.

During the intermission, Clark, the commentator of Toronto Sports Station, mentioned Yang Rui. "In the summer, Jerry was frequently in the news because he participated in a food reality show. Many fans thought this foodie coach was cute, but he couldn't make the Raptors stronger. It turned out that it was only the first game, and he made the team reborn. .”

David said with a smile: "The former Raptors coach Butch Carter was interviewed before the game, saying that the Raptors are a bad team and definitely not an opponent of the Celtics. I don't know how he feels now and whether he can help the team reverse. He Probably the most embarrassing person in the audience today."

Clark sighed: "Now, who can say that the coach is not important? Jerry has proved himself. His adjustment is actually very simple, that is, let the young players run. Today the Celtics lost on the counterattack."

David nodded: "He made full use of the advantages of young players. The offensive rhythm is too fast, and he dares to shoot whenever he has a chance. He is very resolute."

As an opponent, Pitino saw that the Raptors were winning in fast-paced offensive and defensive transitions, but had no countermeasures to suppress them. He could only arrange small-ball tactics and follow the Raptors.

The training of the Green Army is mainly about attacking positions and ensuring offensive efficiency. They hardly practice fast breaks.

What was the Raptors like last season? Butch made a detailed introduction before the game. The pace is slow, the shooting is poor, and he averaged 104.2 points per game, which is hopeless.

As a result, the Raptors have a fast pace today, with many three-point shots, and the introduction is two extremes. Pitino is a fool, and he sees the problem.

Comparing Yang Rui and Butch, it's clear at a glance who is the useless one. Because Butch was the Raptors coach for a while last season, the Greens management thought they got a bargain. Looking at it now, if Darnell Walker hadn't coached for most of the season, Butch would be more like the culprit for the Raptors' inability to win.

A useless coach can use stars as role players, and can also force players with average talents to become the first offensive point. McGrady was a blue-collar player last season, and he opened up the outside of the offensive end to wait for opportunities, even if McGrady's physical talent is the strongest in the team, Butch doesn't need it.

In Butch's offensive system, Christie is responsible for attacking the ball from the outside. He averaged 16.5 points, 5.2 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 2.4 steals per game, hitting the peak data of his career.

Christie's shooting percentage barely reached 40%, and if he can win the game with the main attack, he will definitely live in hell.

Pitino is also the general manager, executive president and club chairman. In just half a game, he decided to let Butch Carter leave after the end of this season.
