Chapter 280: See you in Atlanta
Sam Mitchell instinctively glanced at Woodson. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Egghead is discussing something with Larry Drew, and the two cover their mouths in a very mysterious way, and at first glance, it looks like they are discussing tactics in the final stanza.
In fact, their conversation is like this:
"Kraft did a good job, and this tactic can be used in the future. ”
"yes, how about I call it 'Eagle Raid'? I think Kraft will love the name. ”
"Will he snatch the naming rights?"
"No, Kraft is a low-key guy, he won't come to fight me for this false name, I think I am qualified to compete for the best coach this season!"
……
Regardless of the fact that these two shameless people take the credit of others for themselves, Mitchell's side is already a little square anyway.
Even a notoriously inflexible guy like Woodson would change formations on the spot, what else in this world could not happen?
After thinking about it, Mitchell still used the regular lineup in the final quarter:
C Rasu Nestrovich
Pf Chris Bosh
SF Andrea Banyani
SG Anthony Parker
PG Jose Calderón
Except for the replacement of TJ Ford with Jose Calderón, nothing else has changed.
At critical moments, Mitchell still trusts his regular lineup more.
Isn't that the case with the Eagles?
After seeing the Raptors switch back to the regular lineup, Woodson immediately changed the lineup and changed to the team's original lineup.
Ruan Erniu objected to this substitution after the game, in his opinion, the opponent took the initiative to change the formation has no confidence in himself, at this time, it should be more determined to play the "Eagle Raid" fast lineup, there is really no need to change the lineup.
Of course, Erniu on the field didn't have time to think about this, and he had to lead the Eagles players to win G3 with all their might.
The breakthrough chosen by the Eagles is a lunar eclipse.
Since Mitchell dares to put the stunned champion on the court at a critical moment, he must make the opponent pay the price at this point.
The lunar eclipse singled Banyani in the low post, and with a turn, he passed the opponent neatly.
Nesterovic has been blocked by Erniu, how could the lunar eclipse let go of such a good opportunity to perform?
A brilliant tomahawk slam dunk got the Hawks into the rhythm of the Hawks' offense at the start of the fourth quarter.
Competitive sports are so cruel, once there is an obvious shortcoming or loophole in the opponent's team, the other side will definitely do its best to attack this point.
And Banjani is the most obvious hole of the Raptors, facing the eclipse at the small forward position, whether it is offensive or defensive, he is at the bottom of the peak.
Losing the meaning of the inside line, Banjani's tactical position has plummeted, and what awaits him must be to completely sit on the bench after a timeout.
Sure enough, the Raptors saw that the situation was about to collapse, and immediately took the initiative to apply for a 20-second short timeout, replacing Anthony Parker and Baryani with Jason Capono and Carlos Delfino.
Is it 3-0 down, or is it defending dignity at home and pulling back a game?
It's just a matter of the last few minutes.
Capono, who had just come on the court, was in hot form, he received a pass from Calderón and hit consecutive 3-pointers from the outside, at one point to close the score to 1 point.
But on the Hawks' side, there is also a guy who is not soft when he is in the middle of the attack.
"White Devil" Mike Bibby stepped up and hit back-to-back 3-pointers against Calderon to bring the game back to the Hawks' dominant position.
When the Raptors are in a desperate situation, they can only rely on the Dragon King - Chris Bosh to carry out the final counterattack.
Bosh held the ball high and Marvin Williams defended it very closely.
Bosh made a feint, then leaned back with great difficulty, "Bang!"
The Dragon King's stamina decreases in the final quarter, and his efficiency decreases.
Ruan Erniu won the backcourt rebound, and at this time he was not in a hurry to advance, and handed the ball to Bibi steadily.
The White Devil clenched his right hand into a fist and slowly advanced into the halfcourt.
In the final minutes, the Eagles played with a success rate.
Ruan Erniu held the ball in a high position, Nestrovi's big meat shield was indeed too slow, and as soon as he pounced, he was cleaned by Erniu, and the Celestial Empire who entered the inner line was unstoppable, and a violent two-handed basket made the suspense of the game further stifled.
In the subsequent game, although the Raptors also set off scattered counterattacks, such as Bosh occasionally shot a difficult fairy ball, such as Cappano's sudden cold arrow, soaring a chasing 3-pointer, but overall, the Hawks have already bagged this game.
In the last 6 seconds, Bibby dribbled the ball through the half court and stopped playing!
He held the ball and slapped Calderón to end the game.
At 116:108, the Eagles won by 8 points, leading the opponent by a total score of 3:0, and they were already in sight of promotion.
To paraphrase a classic evaluation of the national football team, there is not much time left for the Raptors, and they only have the theoretical possibility of qualifying.
Ruan Erniu scored a triple-double of 35 points, 18 rebounds and 12 assists in this game.
Toronto also has many Chinese fans, and some Erniu fans are already chanting "MVP!"
Enjoying such treatment at the opponent's home stadium, Ruan Erniu's popularity can be seen.
The young man of the Maple Leaf Country on the sidelines said enviously: "If only one day I would become a star like him!"
Scott Bryan smiled: "You will have this opportunity, and after a while, I will take you to meet Arthur, and in the near future, you will also become a well-known big man in the whole rice." ”
In the history of the NBA, there has never been a team that has fallen behind 3-0 and finally came back from the end.
No matter how you look at it, the G4 game on April 26 is just the last struggle of the Raptors.
Just when everyone thought that the Raptors were doomed, the ferocious reptiles used their power on their home turf.
From the first quarter of the game, they suppressed the Eagles with the momentum of an ancient giant.
Tough and fighting for every ball, there is quite a sense of "the wrath of the horseman, the blood splashed five steps".
As the action of the two teams became more and more intense, the game was interrupted several times.
Woodson saw this situation, and he didn't understand the Raptors' careful thinking.
They are barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes anyway, and since they can't make it to the next round and are about to go home to fish, they naturally want to win at home and leave the playoff stage with dignity.
At this time, if the Hawks want to kill all the Raptors and shave the Raptors' bald heads, the Raptors who are in a hurry will do anything.
What's more, today's referee's scale is also intentionally or unintentionally biased in favor of the Raptors.
Woodson wasn't a coach on his first day, so at the end of the third quarter, he replaced all of the team's main players.
Ruan Erniu was very unhappy tonight, he also ate the first "T" of his playoff career before he got off the court, and that was because the referee's scale was too serious, causing the Raptors players to move more and more.
TJ Ford made an extremely dangerous aerial push action to Assilao, but fortunately, in the end, there was a false alarm, Asilao was not injured, Rao was so, Ruan Erniu also overthrew Ford to the ground, and almost beat Ford to the ground.
At 88:94, after an ugly game, the Raptors finally pulled back a game and avoided the embarrassment of being swept.
But that's the end of their playoff journey, and when they return to Atlanta for their next game, they won't have the home whistle they did today. (To be continued.) )
