Chapter 9 The Dragon Destroys 76 People
Pre-season, on the verge of a touch. The first enemy the Philadelphia boys will face www.biquge.info is the Toronto Raptors.
Last season, Toronto entered the playoffs with a 3rd place in the East, but eventually lost 4-2 to the Chicago Bulls in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
Regardless, Toronto is a formidable opponent.
Carol Garlori GardeRozan, such a combination is truly terrifying.
But newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, Philadelphia boys, without any pressure.
Ye Lunyu is even more confident, and he believes that he and Simmons plus Okafor's combination will not lose to Toronto.
……
Air Canada Centre, Toronto.
Every corner of the court is full of fans in Raptors jerseys, and that's the advantage of the home court, overpowering you in terms of momentum.
The noise was too loud, Ye Lunyu thought to himself.
On the Raptors' side, every player has heard of Ye Lunyu's strength, and they are all happy to see the strength of this "Chinese Yankee". Especially Lowry, he has to play against Ye Lunyu.
And Philadelphia, on the other hand, can't have the slightest crankiness, although this is a preseason, but it's not a joke. Moreover, they are the weak brigade of the alliance, and they are eager to prove themselves in front of everyone.
This is not a negative preseason, but an official regular season.
……
Jason Thompson and Jaliel Okafor scramble for the ball.
Okafor tossed the ball to Ye Lunyu.
Ye Lunyu controls the ball.
Lowry's body is very strong, and Ye Lunyu felt it when he dribbled past half court. Lowry's defense is aggressive, which is very different from Yellenyu's experience in Las Vegas.
It was just an amateur game, and coming to the NBA is the real basketball.
In the first few attacks, Ye Lunyu didn't make a shot, and he wanted to play more selflessly in this game.
In the early stage, the two sides bit very tightly, and after the half-quarter of the game, the two sides fought to 11 draws, and Toronto called a timeout.
Ye Lunyu hasn't made a move yet, and at the same time, he hasn't made a single mistake. But he had two assists.
The suspension ends.
After coming back, the Raptors accelerated the pace of attack and frequently launched fast attacks, and the rhythm of Philadelphia's positional battle was disrupted by this sudden attack, and the Philadelphia guy was a little untenable.
In two minutes, the Raptors extended the margin to seven points.
Brett Brown called a timeout.
"You have to go your own way, don't be messed up by others! You are like a bunch of children who are manipulated by others......" Brett Brown cursed as soon as he got out.
“…… I hope you can correct it in the future, go up. Brett Brown reminds everyone.
Returning to the game, Ye Lunyu wanted to be activated. The desire to attack suddenly intensified. Breakouts, jump shots, he shot more and more.
For the rest of the first quarter, both sides played more aggressively.
Especially Ye Lunyu, he made four of six shots and scored 9 points.
At the end of the first quarter, the Philadelphia 76ers trailed the Toronto Raptors by three points, 24-27.
Raptors head coach Dwayne Casey was unhappy with his players' performance in the first quarter, and a playoff team shouldn't play like this.
He had several of his main players out of the game, and in the second quarter he switched to a rotational lineup.
And the same is true for the 76ers. At this time, the difference in the strength of the two teams is fully reflected.
The Raptors' second-tier team is completely different from the 76ers' bench.
Both offensively and defensively, the Raptors' bench has suppressed the 76ers' players.
Seeing that the score difference was getting wider and wider, the Philadelphia coach had no choice but to call a timeout.
He can't criticize the players for anything, the strength is there.
After the pause, Philadelphia switched to the main force and continued to fight. And Toronto, it's just a DeRozan.
After returning to Philadelphia, the defense has improved a bit, after all, they were the second-highest team in the league in blocks per game last season.
But the offense is still dumb, including Simmons and Ye Lunyu.
The Raptors' offense was somewhat limited, but they still didn't rush to organize the offense and didn't go scoreless for a long time.
In another half of the game, the 76ers trailed the Raptors 33-40.
That's when Toronto switched to the main force.
The Raptors, who were replaced with the main force, became more ferocious offensively.
But Philadelphia, on the other hand, seems to have been sparked by a strong opponent who has been more proactive in attack and defense. Their offense is playing more and more vigorously, there are more and more strategies and passes and receiving the ball inside and outside, and in terms of defense, the pressing is also becoming more and more active, and the defense on the inside is also very tight, so that the Raptors' ferocious offense does not have much gain.
With three and a half minutes left in the second quarter, the 76ers equalized the score.
The Raptors hurriedly called a timeout.
They didn't expect that Philadelphia would have such a high combat effectiveness!
During the timeout, Raptors head coach Dwayne Casey laid out defensive tactics for the players, but did not mention offense, because doing a good job of defense is the top priority right now.
Back on the court, the third in the East still showed their due strength.
With better defense, the Raptors played the fast break that they excelled at. Layups and free throws were made, and the advantage was re-established through defensive counterattacks again and again.
At halftime, the Philadelphia 76ers trailed the Raptors by six points, 49-55.
In the midcourt, Ye Lunyu had 11 points, 3 assists and 2 rebounds, but there were 2 fouls and turnovers.
Simmons and Okafor each scored eight points, and Okafor also had six rebounds.
DeRozan, the best performer on the Raptors' side, scored 13 points.
Ye Lunyu is still satisfied with his performance.
In the locker room, Brett Brown repeatedly stressed the importance of defending. In addition, he advocated focusing on defensive counter-attacks in the second half, using the speed of Simmons and Ye Lunyu to score.
……
The second half began.
As soon as they came up, the Philadelphia players carried out Brett Brown's tactical set-up, using tight defense as a premise to play defensive counterattacks. This tactic worked a lot, with Okafor and Karl Landry rushing for rebounds in the frontcourt, and then passing the ball to Yelunyu and Simmons for them to tackle the offense.
And the Raptors, although the inside line is a big disadvantage, but the outside projection feels good, Lowry's repeated three-point shots make the 76ers not narrow the difference too close.
After that, the games tended to be white-hot like this, you chased me, but the 76ers never equalized or overtook the score.
In the final 52 seconds of the third quarter, the 76ers trailed by three points. Brett Brown called a timeout.
He's going to give his team as much advantage as possible in the last few tens of seconds.
He said to the players: "You wait a while, organize the attack first, look for opportunities on the outside, and then use the defense to play a defensive counterattack in the last ten seconds......
All in all, he's going to get his players to play the final offense.
Back on the field, Ye Lunyu controlled the ball. When there were 8 seconds left in the attacking time, he began to organize the attack.
He first changed direction past Lowry, and then passed a ground-hitting pass to Jerry Bayless, who was already standing at a 45-degree angle on the right side, and Jerry Bayless immediately passed the ball to Simmons in the bottom corner, and made a three-point shot - the ball bounced off the back frame, and Okafor flicked the ball to Yelunyu. Ye Lunyu took a step back and made another three-point shot, this time, the ball "swished" and hollowed into the net.
The Raptors immediately fought back defensively, and Lowry Bo got a foul and hit both free throws.
Ye Lunyu hurriedly controlled the ball, but the Raptors' DeRozan and Corey Joseph came over to double the bag, successfully cut the ball, and immediately passed it to Lowry in the frontcourt, and scored one goal and two points at the whistle, and at the end of the third quarter, the 76ers trailed the Raptors by 4 points 73-77.
Although Ye Lunyu made a mistake in the end, it is still entirely possible to win.
In the fourth quarter, neither side fielded their main players, and only one Karl Landry was the starter on the 76ers' side.
At this point, the events of verse 2 happened again.
The 76ers' bench players were pressed and beaten by the Raptors again, and in just three minutes, the Raptors extended the margin to 11 points.
Brett Brown had to call a timeout again.
The main force of Philadelphia, which had not rested enough, had to fight again.
Back on the court, Philadelphia didn't make much progress, only a little bit of improvement.
They narrowed the gap by 5 points.
At this time, the Raptors replaced the main force again, and the Raptors after changing the main force played much more ferocious than the bench, and the main force of the Raptors after resting was better, and it actually rained "three points of rain".
Under the ferocious offensive, the 76ers were helpless.
The 76ers had no choice but to call another timeout, and it was the same sentence - do a good job defensively.
After coming back, Philadelphia, although there has been some improvement, the score difference has widened to 15 points, and they are powerless to recover.
The rest is garbage time, and the 76ers are just doing their death throes.
There was no suspense, and the Toronto Raptors finally defeated the Philadelphia 76ers 108-99 to achieve their first win of the NBA season and give the 76ers their first loss of the season.
But although the 76ers were defeated, Ye Lunyu scored 19 points, 5 assists, 5 rebounds and 2 steals, Simmons scored 15 points, 5 assists and 7 rebounds, and Okafor had a double-double of 21 points and 12 rebounds.
The Raptors' Lowry scored 25 points and DeRozan scored 22 points.
The 76ers don't have too many regrets, and they are used to losing.
But Ye Lunyu is not convinced, he can definitely win this game!
He wants to help the team "wake up" from the past slump as soon as possible.
