The Pope of Basketball Community

After the game, Yang Rui did not say that the players lacked physical strength, but talked about the confrontational strength of the game. "I don't know who would like the Heat's way of winning. I personally dislike it, because many of their defensive actions are fouls, and they keep looking for confrontations. In the two games, the players were annoyed. I must always tell them to restrain their emotions, not to conflict, and use their skills to prove themselves as the rules allow, not fists."

The reporter asked: "Are you saying that the referee is biased in calling the penalty?"

Yang Rui shook his head. "No, probably the referees are used to seeing this kind of Heat. They will fight with their opponents every season. In 1997, they won the Knicks in this way, and last year they fought and were eliminated by the Bulls. Although some people say that the Heat use the fighting method It's cool to play basketball, iron blood is their label, but I think this team is disgusting, why don't they participate in boxing, wrestling?"

The reporters are all shooting wildly, this is big news.

Yang Rui snorted and said: "I admit that the Raptors are not as tough as the Heat. My players are very honest. You can tell by their looks. Even if we fight, we may not be the opponents of the Heat. I just hope they don't win the championship, because the Heat If I win, I guess the NBA fans will lose half."

As long as he doesn't criticize the referee, Yang Rui will not be fined by the league, but his words are harsh.

The next day, only the Miami media brazenly touted the toughness of the Heat, while other media condemned the Heat's brutality.

The Pacers and the Heat had a conflict in the second round. Miller kept babbling and almost got into a fight with Terry Burt.

Burt was a rookie in 1985 and had been in the league for 14 seasons. He and Miller were old rivals. How could he be polite?

Originally, Miller was the instigator of this incident. The Indiana media and fans hoped to find a vent for being eliminated, so they sprayed the Heat's rough defense.

The media in San Antonio also responded positively. Now that they are leading the Trail Blazers 2-0, they are likely to face the Heat in the finals and hit their opponents. Why not do it?

Raptors fans even edited some of the Heat's rough foul highlights, from the start of the game against the Hawks to the fight against the Raptors, a full 8 minutes. In fact, the NBA playoffs are fiercely confrontational. When every team has a big move, the Raptors can also cut out 5 minutes, and the Heat are just a little bit more.

If the Raptors meet the Heat in their first round, they will probably eliminate their opponents. Unfortunately, the two opponents they encountered, the Magic and the Knicks, are teams that pursue confrontation and strict defense.

Yang Rui knew that it was difficult to beat the Heat with ordinary methods, so he mentioned the "glorious deeds" of the Heat. This was to remind President David Stern, do you just want to see such a group of bad people advance?

Yang Rui knew the future direction of the league, and stood on the same front with the president. As soon as the news came out, Stern immediately got the point that the Raptors played better.

Stern found his assistant, Adam Silva, and asked him to contact the referee who was in charge of whistling the Raptors game, and asked the other party to enforce the law fairly, not like the previous two games.

The implication is that the Heat have two home games, and the penalty scale is too loose.

Those who can be the referee are all human beings. In the third game, the pressure on the Raptors players suddenly decreased, and they gained the upper hand in the confrontation with the Heat.

When the referee blows the home whistle, it is difficult for ordinary fans to see it, because it is mainly on the defensive end. Players of the home team will generally not be called fouls if they overhand and elbow in confrontation. This will make it more difficult for the opponent to break through and shoot, and the rhythm will be disrupted.

However, if the player of the visiting team makes a big move, the referee will call a foul according to the normal standard.

You can send home team players free throws. The visiting team can't say anything, because they did commit a foul, and it's the same in slow motion. Although the opponent's defensive action is the same, who can they turn to for reasoning?

Riley is an experienced coach. After knowing what Yang Ruibu said at the meeting, he realized that something was wrong.

As soon as Yang Rui opened his mouth, the Raptors benefited directly, even if Riley questioned after the game, he would not get support. Because the Raptors had no bad record before, he could only question the referee.

The Heat's players couldn't pull people up with their elbows, and their defensive power suddenly dropped by 20%. The Raptors played fast breaks, and one of Carter and Tracy McGrady was able to attack veterans from the outside.

The Raptors 103 to 85 made a strong comeback.

In the fourth game on June 7, the Heat players changed their defensive style, reduced confrontation, shrunk and blocked the penalty area, strictly prevented breakthroughs during counterattacks, and mainly interfered with shooting.

The Raptors players didn't feel good, and so did the Heat players. They tied at 84 in regular time and entered overtime.

The Heat have an advantage on the inside, and the Raptors have an advantage on the outside, each with its own strengths. The way of fighting for talent doesn't work for the Heat, because the Raptors' rookies are unstable.

Billups pulled up several times in front of Hardaway, but he didn't seize the opportunity. McGrady also failed to take advantage of his height and hit the iron many times.

Hardaway passed Billups with 3.4 seconds left in the game and scored a jumper with an emergency stop. 9o vs. 91.

This goal made the Raptors fans a little bit cold, and there is not much time left for the home team. If they fall behind 1 to 3, the next game is to go to Miami to play an away game.

Yang Rui asked for a timeout and arranged tactics for Carter. At this time, inspiration was very important.

In his mind, two tactics immediately appeared, and the picture of Carter killing his opponent in his previous life was vivid in his mind. He can remember so clearly because Carter's lore was so beautiful that it was made into a highlight by the fans.

Yang Rui arranged for O'Neal and Miller to play. The two are tall enough, have good pick-and-roll quality, and can shoot. If there is really no good shot, the big man will catch the ball and make it difficult for the opponent to block the shot.

McGrady is in charge of the throw-in. He is tall and not easy to be disturbed. The other players stand in a row, ready to run.

This is the most commonly used formation on the basketball court for sideline balls. Players can cut inside or run outside. Both sides must concentrate on it. A small mistake may change the final result.

In 3 seconds, two insiders gave Billups a double screen to get rid of the ball, McGrady attracted the defense from outside the three-point line, and the formation opened up.

In 2 seconds, Billups took the ball and took a step to the left, attracting Brown to switch defenses, and gave the ball to Miller in the middle. The guard defending Miller was Leonard.

Riley didn't use the point guard in order to interfere with shots, and Miller has the height advantage and can shoot jumpers.

In 1 second, just when people thought that Miller would choose an outside shot, Carter squeezed his opponent and cut to the basket. Miller threw the ball from Leonard's head to the basket, avoiding the block.

Carter got rid of Dan Marley, the basket jumped up in the next step, with his back to the basket, received the pass with both hands, and dunked into the frame with his back!

The final whistle sounded immediately, and the referee signaled that the goal was valid. 92 to 91, Carter beat the Heat with a wonderful alley-oop dunk.

On the side of the Heat, the players and coaches were all dumbfounded.

With such a lore in his rookie season, Carter made fans crazy. The Raptors' home court turned into a sea of ​​joy, and people shouted "mvp" excitedly! 8
