The Pope of Basketball Community

Chapter 145 [Recognized Successor]

Yang Rui thought for a while, pulled down the zipper of his clothes, took out two tickets from his inner pocket, and said with a smile: "If there is nothing serious, it's fine if you don't want to go to the hospital. To express my apology, I will give you two tickets." ? The Raptors’ home game against the Knicks on the night of the 22nd.”

"Ah? This..." The handsome black guy glanced at his sister, feeling a little embarrassed.

He is a Raptors fan, so he recognized Yang Rui at a glance. Of course he wanted to go to the home court to watch the game, but he was suspected of "selling his sister" in doing so, for fear that his sister would be angry.

"I haven't asked you what your names are? Don't be polite. I should show something if I hurt her, otherwise I will have a bad conscience." Yang Rui smiled.

The handsome guy hesitated for a moment, then took the ticket. "My name is Alexander Dobrev and this is my sister Nina."

"You are welcome to watch the game. I guarantee that there will be no rest for the core players in the next game." Yang Rui laughed.

The game against the Knicks is full of gimmicks, the fans are very serious, and it will be televised across the United States. We must try our best to win. If this kind of game is rested, the fans will be angry, but it will be troublesome if David Stern is not happy.

Originally, Yang Rui planned to give these two tickets to Kaidi as a gift, so she could ask her friends to watch the game together, but since she was far from what she imagined, she simply borrowed flowers to present Buddha.

Collision is fate, Yang Rui feels comfortable by sending tickets to make up for it. This loli was the first future star he met in Canada.

Anyone who likes American dramas will not be unfamiliar with "Nina Dobrev". She is one of the three famous vampire beauties on the screen.

Her beauty is not as thrilling as Winona Ryder in "Four Hundred Years", but she has a classic charm, and there is no suspense over Kristen Stewart.

Christine gained popularity by accident due to "Twilight", otherwise, with her androgynous figure, "You owe me a million" expression, the sleepy eyes of her old lady, and her paralyzed acting skills, she probably wouldn't have Some people will say she is beautiful.

Nina was born on January 9, 1989, and she is only 10 years old this year. Yang Rui didn't dare to talk to Loli, otherwise she wouldn't be able to clean up if she jumped into the Yellow River.

Yang Rui didn't dare to skate any more, and went out early. Thomas was in no mood to continue playing, so he walked home with him.

On the way, Yang Rui sighed, "Sorry for disturbing your date today, why didn't you ask Laili to stay overnight?"

"I'm looking for her today mainly to introduce you to a girlfriend." Thomas smiled wryly.

Yang Rui shook his head and patted him on the back. "I'll find a girlfriend when I get the time, just adults in Toronto. Is that okay?"

"whatever."

On the 22nd, Yang Rui called Thibodeau at noon and invited Van Gundy to have a meal as a landlord.

Recently, the Knicks began to win, Van Gundy changed his thinking after a bad start, and Oakley and Ben Wallace played more time.

Under Van Gundy's careful training, Ben Wallace is much better than Yang Rui at the same time in his previous life. He can play a big role in the system and is the Knicks' toughest defense.

In addition, Van Gundy made up his mind to let Sprewell play as a substitute, driving the offense in the second quarter, and Bowen returned. This makes the offensive gap between the Knicks' two lineups smaller.

Van Gundy's life has changed. In his previous life, he liked to dig into corners. Now he can make some changes. But just being flexible is not enough. If the Knicks do not win the championship, they will fail, which puts him under a lot of pressure.

and,

It is an indisputable fact that Van Gundy has turned the team back into a defense-oriented team, and the potential newcomers who are strong in offense and weak in defense are almost abolished by him.

For the Raptors, the decline of the Knicks is good news. To reach the top, the Knicks must be defeated. This enemy was created by Yang Rui himself.

In the evening, the arena was full, and the fans hoped to see the Raptors beat the defending champion at home, which was of great significance.

Brothers and sisters Alexander and Nina came, and they were at the front. Both of them were very happy. This was the first time to watch a game live. Yang Rui waved at them deliberately.

After the players came out, Yang Rui and many Knicks players also greeted each other. The atmosphere between the two sides was harmonious, and there was no confrontation between the enemy and the tension before the war.

Raptors: Billups, Christie, Carter, Detref, O'Neal.

Knicks: Ward, Houston, Bowen, Johnson, Ewing.

Ewing won the jump ball and the game started.

Christie's task today is very simple, defend Bowen from the bottom line, drop back at any time to help protect backcourt rebounds, and pass the ball to counterattack.

The tasks of defensive players are also constantly changing. Thibodeau will formulate tactics according to the opponent's situation. When encountering a strong swingman or someone who likes to play off the ball, Carter's defense effect is better. With Houston's off-ball style, Christie's defense will be very difficult.

Because Houston will look for cover and need to switch defenses in many rounds. The same height of 198cm and Christie's weight of 91 kg cannot prevent inside players from making air cuts. Single-defense power forwards and centers are also easy to be overwhelmed.

Carter is different, his strength is enough to resist the inside line, but he suffers from height. He can play a big role in the Raptors' defensive system, and it is by no means a defensive loophole.

Thibodeau is good at this. In Yang Rui's previous life, when Thibodeau was the head coach of the Bulls, Boozer, who has always been known as a defensive black hole, received votes for the best defensive second team. Although he was questioned as a faux pas that year, Boozer was a much better defensive player than he was with the Jazz.

Against a center like Ewing who mainly shoots from the outside, the Raptors don't need Cato. Ewing pulled out to cover Houston's side without the ball, and O'Neal switched defenses very quickly and blocked in front of Houston.

Houston passed the ball to Ewing, Carter defended close to him, Ewing leaned back and turned around for a jumper, interfered with a 5o-degree mid-range shot and made a 0-to-2.

There are dislocations on the court, but there are no dislocations, and it is called a qualified defense.

The Raptors attacked, and the three opened up. Carter and O'Neal picked and rolled in the middle, and took the ball to the right. He strode forward, and Ewing could only switch defenses to keep up.

Catra took three steps with the ball and quickly went to the basket to pick the basket to score. Ewing was one position behind the defense from the side and had no time to take off. 2 to 2.

The Knicks attacked, Ewing received the ball after the screen, and responded from the outside. Sprewell played as a substitute, and Ewing had the ball. He ran with his back against Carter and other teammates, and the ball was given to Johnson, who was in the air.

Johnson stormed the basket, Detref interfered closely, missed the shot from close range, Detref grabbed the rebound, turned around and sent a precise long pass.

He has rich experience and knows that Carter will go down quickly, and the two have a great understanding. Carter got rid of Ewing, received the pass before the free throw line, took two steps, took off with both feet, turned 36° and dunked the basketball with both hands! 4 to 2.

ccTV5 Zhang Reasonably shouted: "Carter's body is twisted into twists! The Raptors played so beautifully this year, with fast offensive and defensive transitions. Carter and Tracy McGrady often perform at the level of dunk contests when they rush forward. This is something other teams can't do. .”

Sun Zhengping said with a smile: "I think Carter has already booked the best rookie this year, and no one can match him."

Zhang Lili nodded: "There is no All-Star game this year. If there is, Carter may become the All-Star vote leader. He is now recognized as Jordan's successor."
