The Pope of Basketball Community

On the 9th, the Raptors' home opener, the usually deserted stadium, was full of fans for the first time.

Thomas Bentley also came to the home court to watch the game. The management gave Yang Rui a special reward and set up a family seat near the players' bench.

When the players came out, the fans gave warm applause, especially the appearance of McGrady and Carter, and the audience cheered. This is the treatment that players have not had in previous seasons.

Owner Richard Peddie delivered a speech at the scene: "First of all, thank the fans for their support, the Raptors will work hard to become better! Second, thanks to Jerry Young, he brought vigor and vitality to this team! Finally It is good news to announce that next season, the new arena, the Air Canada Center, will be officially opened, and we will play games in a larger, more advanced and comfortable arena."

The fans applaud together. Richard went to the sidelines to greet Yang Rui, gave him a warm hug, and returned to his seat. The players began to warm up on the field.

Richard sat on the sidelines and whispered to Glenn Gruward: "You said that signing a coach can change the football market. I almost opposed it at the time. It's really dangerous."

"I didn't expect him to be so good. If we win, we will win three consecutive victories today. We haven't won three consecutive victories yet." Glenn said excitedly.

"Yeah." Richard laughed.

The two looked at each other and sighed in unison. Three consecutive victories can break the team record. The Raptors used to be really bad, fresh and refined.

Toronto Sports Station broadcast the game live, Clark Thomson said: "The Raptors started Billups, Christie, Carter, Jermaine O'Neal, Detref. Jermaine O'Neal entered the starting lineup again, and his performance in the first two games was too great. Excellent."

David Nelly said with a smile: "I think Jerry used different lineups to inspect the players. After all, there is no preseason game and the training time is short."

Bucks starters: Trier Brandon, Ray Allen, Glenn Robinson, Teyron Hill, Irvine Johnson.

The Bucks are a team that relies on the perimeter to attack. Yang Rui did not allow John Wallace to play in order to maximize the space, and the rhythm can be fast or slow. The Bucks are not good at attacking inside, so there is no need to worry about being hit to the basket.

Jermaine O'Neal won the jump ball and the game started.

Carter held the ball in the middle, and the players pulled away. Billups on the left didn't find a cover, and suddenly ran back to 70 degrees. Carter passed the ball.

Billups caught the ball and turned around for a jumper, and suddenly cast a cold arrow!

Brandon is 180cm tall and weighs 82kg. His height is flawed. He can't reach the cover when he jumps from the side, and the ball is hollow into the net. 3 to 0.

After the goal, Billups did not celebrate, and returned to the defense blankly, turning on the facial paralysis mode.

On the bench, his teammates couldn't lift his spirits even after applauding him. Yang Rui felt that it was normal that his popularity would not rise in the future with his personality.

The Bucks attacked, Brandon dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, suddenly accelerated and changed direction to pass Billups, Detref was experienced and blocked the breakthrough route in time.

Brandon passed the ball to Teyron on the right, who was left unattended, and shot out from the bottom line. O'Neal grabbed the rebound and passed it to Carter.

Carter sprinted with the ball, was blocked by the "big dog" near the center line, and gave the ball to Detref, who was following up.

Billups relied on Brandon to hold the ball with both hands, turned to the baseline and threw a right-handed throw to score. 5 to 0.

Obviously he is a point guard, but Billups can use the inside to single out moves. Relying on his big butt and weight, he insists on taking the small one's No. 1 position, showing a high golf quotient.

The Bucks attacked. Robinson singled out Carter after catching the ball. He took a step on the right and broke through.

Robinson was careless. To deal with young people with excess energy like the Raptors, you can't force it, you have to rely on fake moves.

O'Neal defended the basket and leaped high,

The left hand accurately pressed on the basketball and blocked the dunk. Robinson shifted his center of gravity and fell to the ground.

Robinson sat on the ground and complained to the referee, but the referee ignored it, and it was clear that it was a good shot.

Little O'Neal has a characteristic. He is left-handed and has a strong left arm. He is left-handed for dribbling, dunking, and blocking shots. It's just that he uses his right hand for jump shots. Most people don't know this.

Christie picked up a basketball pass to Carter, but Robinson couldn't defend it and was misplaced.

Carter dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and changed direction. Bucks power forward Teyron was not a vegetarian either. The prediction was accurate and Carter was not allowed to pass. He is a blue-collar player known for his defense and was selected to the All-Star Game in 1995.

Carter swayed halfway, hit the ground and passed the ball to Billups, who leaned on Brandon on the left and turned to the middle. Seeing that he was about to shoot from close range, Brandon fouled.

Billups made two free throws, 7-0.

The home fans applauded. They thought Billups sucks last season, but today he stole everyone's thunder.

Clarke said: "Billups stole the spotlight at the beginning and bullied the Bucks guard with his body. He played beautifully."

David said with a smile: "Carter made two beautiful passes in the opening game and performed very well. He attracted the opponent's defensive focus."

In the next round, the Bucks finally scored. Brandon and Irvine played a pick-and-roll, got rid of Billups and passed O'Neal for a layup, 7-2.

Short guards are double-edged swords, poor defense, quick moves, and difficult to switch against big men on offense.

In the Raptors battle, Detlef off the side screened to help Billups get rid of the ball. After receiving the ball, Billups attracted Teiron to switch defenses and passed the ball to Detleve.

Detlef's offensive skills are comprehensive, relying on Brandon, turning around 45 degrees for a jumper, ignoring interference, and scoring with cricket. 9 to 2.

Ray Allen ran around to catch the ball, attracting two people's attention to pass to Irving, who caught the ball and swayed under the basket, touched O'Neal, and then made a foul and missed the ball.

Irvine's offensive ability is very poor, averaging 8 points per game at the peak, making two free throws and making one, 9 to 3.

In the Raptors' positional battle, Billups dribbled the ball across half court, facing Brandon, he suddenly made a three-pointer, and the ball bounced out of the frame.

The tactics Yang Rui arranged were not to focus on Carter at the beginning, but to point guard Brandon at the beginning. Whoever Brandon defended against, he would take a bold shot.

For this tactic, Bucks coach George Karl can't help it. Brandon can only play with Billups, and others can't help him. If he goes to defend Carter, the size gap will be even bigger.

Brandon can play a role when attacking, and break through sharply after the pick-and-roll. However, he averaged close to 20 points per game in two seasons, his state has declined significantly, he can only break through, and his shots are not allowed.

Robinson was eager to save face after a fall, and wanted more balls for singles. Carter was able to resist one-on-one strength, but he couldn't guard against a player like Robinson who could shoot suddenly.

Seeing Carter suffer and Yang Rui not change, this is a kind of training. Christie is too thin to deal with Robinson's figure, so Carter can only rely on him at this time.

Robinson scored 12 points in a single quarter, the Bucks were blocked from outside shots, and the score has been falling behind.

The Raptors Billups made two three-pointers in a single quarter and performed the best with 12 points and 2 assists. O'Neal and Detlef also performed well, leading the team to a 30-24 lead.
