If you only look at the book lineup, the Raptors may only be slightly inferior to the 76ers and the Heat in the East. Any other team, whoever comes to compete.

Their superficial problem is that their experience and age structure are too tender. If you want to talk about deep reasons, the coaching staff's problems will surface.

Tonight, the two strongest players of the Raptors, Lowry and Guy, always sit on the bench for half a quarter; then, in most of the fourth quarter, Guy or DeRozan often supports the team, and when there is no time left, the other one is slowly sent to the court. In a standard game - that is, when the two sides fight to the end, there is no garbage time - the Raptors usually use nine-player rotation, and in fact, ten to eleven players are playing.

Just imagine: Could Philadelphia/Miami leave Watsha/James and Cousins/Wade away at the same time? Will the best duo have less than 18 minutes of shared presence in the fourth quarter when the victory is not yet locked in?

In terms of coaching ability, Casey is an organized and detailed coach. As for why the above problems are there, I can only say that he is too calm - or kind? There is no adjective at all - so he makes the rotation very long; even if the starter is so strong, DeRozan Roslori Amir Johnson Valanciunas is enough to deal with any lineup, but he will still resolutely let the substitutes stay helplessly on the court, even if they don't look very happy.

In the first half of the second quarter, the 76ers allowed Cousins ​​to support the team.

The Raptors were able to change Lowry and DeRozan to the field with confidence. Their calm and composed look makes people wonder - who is the leading side?

45 to 32

The score shows that the lead is 76ers, and they are currently 13 points ahead.

Wei Xia and Casey's mouth guns outside the court did not seem to have aroused the smell of gunpowder. The first game of the semi-finals of both sides were playing properly.

Cousins ​​played calmly, and after the playoffs began, he played much more steadily.

"Boge has not received a technical foul in several consecutive games?" Wei Xia asked.

Assistant coach Aaron McGee replied: "I haven't eaten T again since I entered the playoffs."

"Bao!" Weaver applauded, "This is really great news!"

Wei Xia couldn't help but nod. The more the old man in the team, the more he knew how valuable Cousins, who could control his temper, was.

At this moment, Rondo is dispatching the team on the court, and they want to expand their lead to 14 points.

Rondo pointed ahead, confused the Raptors, and suddenly made a breakthrough, Lowry was passed.

His ideas and plans are excellent, but there are always problems in the execution process.

The ACL tear made his layup feel far less good than the Celtics' time. This layup missed the board. The rebound was about to be protected by the Raptors, Cousins ​​actually used his long arm to hook the ball out and grabbed the offensive rebound with a second jump.

His first reaction to holding the rebound was not to attack the second time, but to find someone.

Rookie Andre Robertson cleverly found the angle to cut in.

Cousins ​​pretended not to see him, and just as Robertson got it wrong, the ball suddenly flew over.

Robertson took the ball and dunked under the basket.

"You look more capable than the boss!"

It will take some time for Wei Xia to accept that they live in a world where even Cousins ​​knows how to inspire his teammates.

Wei Xia failed in the East for four consecutive years, while Cousins ​​was three consecutive years. Last year, he failed to control his temper and caused the team to lose a good game.

Now he is very clear about his position and does not get angry easily, which is a good phenomenon.

I just don't know how long the phenomenon will last.

The Raptors missed their offenses in succession. They were already 15 points behind, so they had to find a way to stop the bleeding.

Casey called Lowry and DeRozan to the sidelines, preparing to exchange for the two young aces.

Wright also called Wei Xia.

The Raptors made a mistake in the frontcourt.

Cousins ​​stopped their pass and smashed Robertson with both hands.

The rookie realized that countless pairs of eyes were staring at him. He was nervous and couldn't even control the ball.

"Beep!"

After unexpectedly leaving the boundary ball, Cousins ​​drank a few dissatisfied voices.

The 76ers made a mistake in counterattacking, and the main players of both sides returned to the court.

"Wish, Kyle Lowry and Demar DeRozan are all back. Currently, the 76ers are leading the Raptors 15 points 47 to 32. At present, Wish has not made any effort, he only scored 11 points."

The announcer's voice reached both ends of the stadium, and Wei Xia could hear it very clearly.

Is it time for him to exert force?

Is there a time when he is exerting his strength in this game? The answer is no. The Raptors are not strong enough. Unless they can catch up, he will win by just playing.

So what should I do to repay Coach Casey's "regret" for him?

Wei Xia didn't want to make herself look too cautious. He had to pretend to be criticized by others and entered the court, so that DeRozan could not touch the ball, and Lowry fought alone.

Wei Xia has known Lowry since high school. At that time, Lowry was like a ball when he broke through, and he worked hard to get a three-point shot. However, in addition to breaking through the basket/three-pointer, other attack methods have infinitely zero, and the middle distance is particularly messy. Fortunately, he also knows himself and does not waste artillery fire at the middle distance, so he shoots half of his shots outside the three-point line in each game.

The Raptors also changed their opponents to Wei Xia.

The Venezuelan, Grevis Vasquez, is a tall 198 cm point guard with rough passion, like a lunatic.

Within one round, he can be seen making 24 exaggerated expressions like beauty.

Wei Xia can guarantee that if it weren't for only 24 seconds in a round, Vasquez's beauty could be taken to the next level.

It is such a number one person, his partner with Lowry, which gives the Raptors two ball-holding points.

Wei Xia watched Lowry find an open space and hit a three-pointer.

35 to 47

They chased for 12 points, and Wei Xia pointed at the right corner of the frontcourt against Rondo.

He meant that he would attack there later.

Rondo nodded, and after Wei Xia ran to the frontcourt, he did the same thing to Vasquez. Since the opponent was not his teammate, he had to explain: "Tell you a secret, we will run a tactic, and then, I will appear outside the three-point line on the right corner, and I may score that goal."

Vasquez asked, "Why do you want to inform me?"

Because Wei Xia enjoyed the pleasure of suppression that the other party knew he could not resist.

"I have a heart for goodness." Wei Xia said hypocritically.

When he started running, Vasquez's expression scared him a little. It was too crazy and too scary.

Vasquez is like a wild dog fighting for food, and his madness in fighting is impressive.

Wei Xia's way of throwing him away was not to cover, but to start the emergency stop and counter-run.

Wagging Vasquez away, he caught Rondo's ball in the bottom corner, turned around and shot, and the shot was extremely fast, so the Venezuelan could only watch the ball.

"Swish!"

50 to 35

Wei Xia's three-pointer, DeRozan responded with his best two-pointer in the mid-range shot.

He stood at his own hot spot, confident and generous in his actions, and the interference that Robertson could have was limited.

37 to 50

Wei Xia decided to fight the Raptors for a good time.

After Rondo came, the 76ers' offensive structure was much better than before, but to join any team, you have to adapt to the habits of core players.

Like Wei Xia, the bad habits learned from Kobe, is keen on fighting alone, and likes to pull the opponent's stars to fight alone.

This style is neither like Kobe nor the rest of the league. Kobe's single-handed challenge is unreasonable. The other party asked five people to guard against him and remained calm. He didn't look at his teammates at first glance, and pulled up a picturesque backward and turned into iron to go away.

Wei Xia is not the case. He rarely plays five at one time. When he encounters double teams, he will try to pass the ball as much as possible.

He likes to play one on one, especially with the opponent's stars. With his offense and defense strength and his innate "communication ability", he can force the opponent to play one on one with him in almost every game.

This atmosphere has exceeded Kobe's scope. Kobe likes to do it alone, and he likes to fight alone.

It can be said that just like learning Malawic's pass, he has made innovations in imitating Kobe's path and has developed his own "characteristics".

DeRozan scored a mid-range shot from the front, and Wei Xia asked for the ball at the low post and took the initiative to face DeRozan.

When the ball is obtained, he takes a step and shoots, and there is no reason to say.

"Swish!"

52 to 37

The Raptors were experiencing these 15 points, and Wei Xia would not agree to any idea of ​​pulling the gap down.

His single-handed challenge lasted for three minutes, scored 15 points in a row, and finally got a good iron under the opponent's strict defense.

Wei Xia stopped when she saw the opportunity and stopped fighting alone, but the score difference was widened from the original 15 points to 24 points.

It’s not that no one can play the response ball, but that there is no such sustainability as him.

Wei Xia will score continuously after entering the state, and he has the intention to get the ball continuously. Rondo is a ball dominant in the Celtics and a short-term worker in the 76ers. He also has to be responsible for the team, so that Wei Xia can play happily.

Moreover, this bastard has a 100% shooting percentage, and there is no reason not to give him a pass.

Look, Wei Xia made a fuck and ended the sin for a few minutes. The Raptors on the opposite side were smashed from psychology to score.

The 20-point difference in halftime is so dazzling!

During the midfield interview, Wei Xia intentionally or unintentionally talked about regrets.

"This is a regrettable score. I hope the suspense doesn't disappear too early."

Everyone can see that he is not satisfied yet.

However, the Raptors' defeat cannot be as good as his wishes.
Chapter completed!
