Billups passes to Carter and the player pulls away. W≠W=W≈. ≈8=1≠Z≠W. com

Willis and Billups are on the left, Christie is in the corner on the right, and Jermaine O'Neal picks and rolls outside the three-point line in the middle to help Carter get rid of Bowen.

Carter dribbled the ball to the left, Ewing quickly switched defenses to keep up, O'Neal stood still in the middle, and Bowen didn't dare to chase. There are scouts collecting information, and both sides know the basics. O'Neal's mid-range shots are very accurate and cannot be shorted.

Billups ran from the bottom corner to the upline, and Willis had no ball to cover, and Ward chased quickly. Carter didn't make a pass. This running position was just to attract the defense. After Johnson was led away, no one helped Ewing.

Carter paused slightly while holding the ball frame at 45 degrees, and dribbled the ball with his left hand to the bottom line.

How can Carter cover it from behind? He jumped up in one step, smashing the ball with the tomahawk with his right hand. 2 to o.

Zhang Lili shouted: "Carter's jumping ability is too terrifying, and he staged a iconic dunk at the beginning of the game."

Sun Zhengping sighed: "In terms of the enjoyment of playing, the Raptors are indeed much better than the Knicks. Even last season, the Knicks relied on shooting. This kind of scene is rare."

The Knicks attacked, and Ewing covered Houston on the left side. After O'Neal switched defenses, it became Christie to defend Ewing. 2 to 2.

The fans applauded one after another, and the bosses of both sides soared points at the beginning, which is what the fans want to see most.

The Raptors attacked, Carter and O'Neal picked and rolled in the middle, this time it was Johnson who switched defenses, and he was more mobile than Ewing.

Carter took the ball to the right to get rid of Bowen.

Christie ran from the right corner to the upline to open space for Carla. Yang Rui arranged for him to shoot three-pointers mainly from the corner, but he was not unable to shoot from other positions and played very flexibly.

At this time, the veteran Willis went to the low post on the left, making it impossible for Ewing to make up the defense, otherwise the basket would be empty.

There is no one on the weak side to help Christie cover. He doesn't need it. The purpose is to help Carter create single-handed opportunities and form a triangle with O'Neal.

The Raptors are not only good at playing and running. In the second half of the regular season, there are a lot of stars singled out, and they practice the triangle offense. They don't seek open space, but only singles.

Carter and Johnson are about the same height,

The latter has a thick circle. Carter has the advantage of speed. He dribbled the ball to his right hand from his crotch, and with a light touch on his right shoulder, Johnson's center of gravity shifted a little. Carter immediately patted the ball with his right hand to his left hand.

Ewing retreated to the basket in a hurry. If he didn't defend, Carter would have to dunk again. Carter didn't mess around. He jumped up and distributed the ball from Ewing's side to the left basket. Willis shot the ball immediately, and it was easy at close range. Hit the board to score. 4 to 2.

The Knicks attacked, Houston caught the ball and was followed by O'Neal. The breakthrough was not given to Ewing.

This is not a good choice. Although Willis is thin, after all, he is 213cm tall and can interfere without jumping. The ball is missed, and Carter retreats to protect the backcourt rebound.

What Carter has to defend is Bowen, who is the easiest and can focus more on the offensive end.

Billups was transported to the frontcourt, and the Raptors battle started again. Van Gundy emphasized the speed of returning to defense before the game. The players ran very hard, but the Raptors gave up the fast break.

In Yang Rui's previous life, D'Antoni's Suns and Nelson's Warriors all proved one thing. It is difficult to win the championship purely by running and gunning. The team's rhythm must be controlled freely.

Billups is a defender who can be fast or slow. He doesn't assist much, has good passing awareness, and can pass the ball to the right position. And his biggest advantage lies in the personal threat on the offensive end, which can contain the defense.

Carter singled out Johnson, missed a jumper with a 45-degree emergency stop, and Ewing grabbed the rebound.

The Raptors settled down without haste, forming a complete defensive system. After the Knicks screened, Ewing received the ball and made another turnaround jumper, 4-4.

The Knicks are also good at creating dislocation heads-up opportunities, and no one dares to relax their defense against Houston.

The Raptors attacked, Carter hit the road frame, and passed the ball to Billups who was running on the side. Ewing hurriedly switched defenses, and Billups took two steps along the three-point line, attracting the defense to the air-cut Willis.

As soon as Ewing went out, the Knicks' ability to protect the inside frame became very bad. Willis turned to the middle with Ward and made a hook. 6 to 4.

The Knicks attacked, Ewing's screen quality was mediocre this time, Christie bypassed and caught up with Houston, Houston passed Ewing again, and O'Neal had no advantage in singles.

Ewing protected the ball and other teammates gave Johnson the running position. The latter singled out Willis and was followed by a change of direction with the ball.

Willis's defensive anticipation was excellent, he didn't hesitate, and followed the interference from the side. Johnson didn't get rid of it when he got to the basket, and then distributed the ball again.

The player made a few passes, Houston faced Christie, missed a shot at the buzzer from the baseline, and Willis grabbed the rebound.

In the Raptors battle, Willis helped Billups get rid of Ward, Carter passed the ball, Billups ran the same as before, found an open space and hung to the low post.

Willis took the ball with his back on the left side, turned to the middle with Ward, and hit another close hook. 8 to 4.

The veteran scored 6 points in a row. Yang Rui let Willis, not just for his experience, he has a certain scoring ability. In the peak 91-92 season, he averaged 18.3 points and 15.5 rebounds per game, and in the 93-94 season he also averaged 19.1 points and 12 rebounds.

Willis's label is not defense, but invincible small hook, super rebounding brush and top physical fitness. At the age of 37, his bounce and speed are not bad, and the hooker is not a vegetarian.

Christie went to the baseline, and after a side screen, Carter switched to Ewing.

Ewing turned around and shot, facing Carter and missed the shot. Willis got the rebound.

The Knicks have two weaknesses. One is that the offensive routine is too simple, which is what Yang Rui left behind. Of course, he knows how to break it;

Back on the defensive end, Ewing was depressed. He found that the opponent had arranged an offensive tactic against him, and he was bound to withdraw him from the basket. Whoever he defends, the offense will start from the outside line on that side.

Carter passed the ball again. Ewing switched defenses a bit slower this time, wanting Ward to chase after him. Billups caught the ball and shot immediately.

The opportunity came up, and the ball luckily missed the basket. This is not over yet, Jermaine O'Neal rushed to grab the rebound in the middle, relying on his height and wingspan, and dialed the ball behind Johnson.

As soon as Ewing retreated, he watched Willis pick up an offensive rebound outside the penalty area, and gave Billups a second organization from the outside.

Billups stabilized and passed to Carter.

Carter leaned on Bowen, protected the ball with his back, and was not in a hurry. He waited for O'Neal to come out to cover again, dribbled the ball to the right, and opened the formation to attract Johnson to defend and pass the ball to the center.

Jermaine O'Neal caught the ball face-up, feinted and then added a small fadeaway. He made a high jumper, but Bowen couldn't cover it even when he took off with all his strength. This time O'Neal was well-prepared, the rhythm was perfect, and the ball was hollowed into the net. 1o to 4.

At the beginning, the Raptors played an extremely smooth offensive.
