Chapter 215 [The Hobbit, unexpected starter]
At the Air Canada Centre Stadium, when the players came out, fans booed the Knicks, creating pressure for them.
In addition to Billups, Miller was also on the injured list because of his knee. The starter arranged by Yang Rui made everyone who paid attention to the game brightened up, and he was actually on the fringes of two teams.
The starting point guard is not the experienced Dell Curry and Hornacek, but the second-year rookie Boykins, who is only 165cm tall.The other four are Christie, Carter, Jumaine Jones, and O'Neal Jr.
Zhu Mayin started because of his physical fitness. He coached fast breaks and three-pointers in the team. Although he was not as accurate as the veteran, he was more threatening when running.
Commentator Mike Breen said with a smile: "Jerry Young started Boykins today, isn't that a bit too big? His body must be at a disadvantage when defending. The two perimeter veterans are mainly playing the 2 position. But come up and make a cameo, I don't think there will be any problem. I don't know what Jerry thinks."
Fraser laughed: "It's a miracle that Boykins can play in the NBA. Jerry Young always likes to use new people."
Knicks starting: Sprewell, Houston, Bowen, Ben Wallace, Ewing.
Van Gundy also changed, "Madman" cameo point guard, sent a big man lineup, leaving Larry Johnson to take the bench offense.Four can shoot, and Big Ben is responsible for defense, blocks and rebounds.
这赛季，大本出场时间提升到35分钟，代替了奥克利原在尼克斯队中的角色，场均能拿下6.4分11.8篮板1.2助攻1.3抢断2.3盖帽。
Fans booing Ewing is also related to Big Ben's excellent performance. Many people think that the two are not suitable to play together. Big Ben is better than Ewing in guarding the penalty area, but he often has to go out to guard against pick-and-rolls.
Van Gundy had a little grin when he saw the Raptors in the lineup.
Do you think you can win every time you come out? Who can a 165CM player guard against?
O'Neal Jr. won by jumping the ball. At the beginning of the game, Carter passed the ball to Boykins. The three opened up. Jr. O'Neal made a screen from the three-point line in the middle to block Sprewell.
Boykins was dribbling the ball on the right, and when O'Neal came up, he deftly turned to the middle and completely got rid of the defense. Ewing didn't have time to lower his center of gravity, and he saw the opponent slap the ball quickly and ran past him. black cat.
No one had time to make up the defense, and Boykins made a layup. 2 to 0.
The Knicks attacked, Boykins followed and guarded Bowen on the right baseline, Christie dealt with Sprewell, Carter guarded Houston, man-to-man.
Van Gundy was immediately depressed. Since joining the Knicks, Bowen has never practiced offense with the ball. In addition to picking up leaks on the offensive end, he usually only stands on the right bottom corner and waits for opportunities, not even going to the left.
Bowen played very well in 98, and the Knicks retained this position and no longer let Johnson play small forward.But Bowen's scoring ability is too poor, and it is not a good opportunity to play against Boykins.
Sprewell held the ball in the middle and Ewing played a pick-and-roll. Jumaine switched defense in time to block the breakthrough route, the ball was distributed to the middle, Ewing took the ball to support, Houston and Big Ben on the left screened and received the ball, and O'Neal was also very good in switching. quick.
Zhu Mayin is a small forward and plays a power forward. Even if he is inexperienced, he is better at defending pick-and-rolls than many veterans.
Ben Wallace made an empty cut, Carter topped the defense, Houston passed the ball, and Ben failed to go deep to the basket.
There are currently two recognized swing men in the league, one is Maggette and the other is Carter. Carter of 198CM weighs 100 kg and has strong upper and lower body strength.
Big Ben and Johnson, Oakley, and Ewing have learned low-post footsteps. Because of poor shooting, the offense is still bad. He leaned on Carter to hook, and his movements were completely deformed.
In the battle of the Raptors, Christie and Jumayen pulled apart on the right.
Boykins dribbled the ball and passed it to Carter in the half court, and moved to the bottom corner on the left. Carter faced Bowen in the middle to protect the basketball with his back, and Boykins on the left ran back, relying on Little O'Neal to cover and get rid of Spurs. Reville, 70-degree catch on the left and a three-pointer.
There was no interference, Ewing switched too slowly, Boykins made a near-open three-pointer, 5-0.
Mike Breen yelled, "Three-pointers, BANG!"
Fraser was surprised: "Jerry Young actually arranged for Boykins to attack at the beginning, and he really made a shot. Under the cover of his teammates, his body attack has an advantage, and Ewing can't keep up."
Ewing not only can't keep up with the defense, but also can't keep up with the offense.Ju Mayin was not determined to single-handedly, and the air cut after pick-and-roll was too slow. After Sprewell attracted the defense, if he could pass in the middle, Christie was not easy to defend.
When Ewing was running slowly to the basket, O'Neal on the weak side emptied Ben Wallace and formed a double-team under the basket. Ewing took the ball forcibly and went wide under the interference of the two.
O'Neal Jr. took off a second time and took the ball out. Carter grabbed the backcourt rebound, turned and moved forward, and made an emergency stop in front of the three-point line on the right to face Houston for a three-pointer.
The ball went wide under interference, but the block was avoided. The Raptors counterattacked so neatly, Ben Wallace grabbed the rebound.
The Raptors' defense was average, but the Knicks didn't fight back, and the rhythm slowed down and waited for Ewing to settle.Once you fall into a positional battle, Daben will be useless.
When Yang Rui was in the Knicks, he repeatedly emphasized that Ewing and Wallace could not play together, and now no one reminds Van Gundy.When these two are together, not only on offense, but on defense as well.
The Pistons' double Wallace, Rasheed moves quickly, can guard against pick-and-rolls, and Ben is responsible for resisting and rebounding.Now that Ewing is slow to defend against pick-and-rolls, how can Big Ben go out and grab a rebound under the basket?Encountered with the opponent's perimeter convulsions and was directly thrown to death.
There was no chance for the players to pass back and forth. Ewing dislocated Christie after covering and scored a jumper. 5 to 2.
There was only sporadic applause from the audience, and this kind of goal was neither beautiful nor easy.
The Raptors' positional warfare players pulled away. This time, Ben Wallace was in charge of preventing the pick-and-roll and kept up with Boykins. Boykins took a step back to the middle and passed back to O'Neal 70 degrees on the left.
Little O'Neal took the ball without pausing and was assigned to the left bottom corner.
Zhu Mayin made a 70-degree circle from the right and ran to the bottom corner on the left to catch the ball, turned to face the frame, and took the ball.
It was too difficult for Ewing to defend against 203CM's Zhu Mayin. He watched his opponent jump up near the penalty area and then went out to interfere. He didn't have time to jump and scored a three-pointer! 8 to 2.
Fraser shouted: "Another one, Jumaine also played. Today, the Raptors are big and four small, and the speed is very fast!"
McBrin said: "Jumaine is not good at holding the ball. He can shoot from the mid-to-long range. It is not suitable for Ewing to guard him. He is more like a small forward. This is a dislocation."
Yang Rui used Zhu Mayin's method, just like Lewis used in magic in his previous life. He mainly moved on the periphery, shorter, faster, and the location was unknown.
The Sonics were reluctant to trade Lewis, so Yang Rui chose a replacement who could still play a tactical role in some games.
The Knicks continued to grind their positions, passing the ball back and forth, with no openings.
Seeing that 24 seconds were used up, Sprewell missed a pull-up jumper against Jumaine, which was not a dislocation at all after the pick-and-roll.O'Neal grabbed the rebound, passed the ball and quickly counterattacked.
Christie received the ball and sent a precise long pass, Boykins got rid of Big Ben in a straight line and scored an easy layup. 10 to 2.
The Raptors' "The Hobbit" scored 7 points at the beginning, Van Gundy's face was gloomy and terrible, the opponent's tactics were clear, and the Knicks were suppressed by the Raiders again.
