Chapter Seventy-Six: Overwhelming

The Raptors are missing such a "fierce general", and their strength on the field is even less advantageous.

Sam Mitchell switched to an eight-man rotation to share the impact of Bagyani's absence, but with one less attacking point, the team was always not running smoothly.

Fortunately, there is also a young player who has come out of nowhere - Chris Humphries.

Humphries actively grabbed the board and worked hard to get the position after Baggyani went off the court, and all the small moves he learned from the Jazz in the first two years of his career came in handy.

The Warriors' young backup power center Steven Hunter couldn't even grab Humphries.

This made Wang tomorrow a little surprised, Steven Hunter's strength is grabbing rebounds, but this Humphries seems to be more powerful than Steven Hunter grabbing rebounds.

With Saflosa's three-point shot, the 76ers led the Raptors by 10 points at 45-35.

Raptors pause.

"Now the Raptors are trapped inside and outside, the bench is not good, it is useless to be on the main team, the spirit of the Raptors has completely come down, and it is not as good as the 76ers who are now gaining momentum."

Xu Jicheng changed his words and began to sing praises to the 76ers.

"As you can see, the 76ers are more prepared. Bagyani was just an accident, and I believe that if there was no injury to Bagyani, the 76ers would still take the initiative on the court. ”

"After a bad start, Coach Wang turned the situation on the field around with a pause, and he does have a very strong on-the-spot command ability."

At halftime, the 76ers led the Raptors by 12 points, 55-43.

Raptors.

Dressing room.

In the locker room, there was silence, and the needle drop could be heard.

The atmosphere seemed to freeze, and when head coach Sam Mitchell walked in, all eyes were on the manager.

Entering the playoffs for the first time in years, the Raptors didn't want to give up their first win.

Second half, before the start.

Wang will be interviewed by ESPN tomorrow.

"In the first two quarters of the game, you played a good offense, including 7-of-13 three-pointers, shooting over 50 percent, is that a tactic that you had in mind before the game?"

He was interviewed by a young white male reporter who spoke a little fast.

Wang Mingming thought for a while, shrugged his shoulders and said: "Three-point shooting has always been our style, there are many excellent shooters in our team, there are always people who have a good hand, when someone feels good, then shoot more, when someone feels bad, then shoot less, on the whole, the team's feel will be very good." ”

"In the first half, Paul Millsap performed very well, with 10 points and 4 rebounds, while the top pick opposite him, Bagyani, was injured, was it because of his injury that led to Millsap's outburst?" His second question was asked very cleverly, reversing the order and adding a touch of pinprick to the sentence.

Wang Mingming took a deep look at the male reporter, and the corners of the latter's mouth showed a hint of mockery.

He snorted secretly, and then said flatly: "Although Paul is only a second-round show, but it is the team in front of him who is unknown, Paul's real strength is very strong, not weaker than the champion, the playoffs, is the best stage for Paul to prove himself, his outburst is the result of his unremitting training and continuous growth, I am not surprised by this." ”

The white reporter heard the stiffness in Wang Mingming's tone, and after Wang Mingming finished speaking, he left directly without saying hello.

This made his face ugly, and he secretly scolded the king for not knowing the rules tomorrow, if Paul Millsap collapsed in the second half, I will see how you step down!

Second.

The Raptors moved a lot bigger.

Under the pressure of the first loss, the Raptors, including Chris Bosh, began a crazy counterattack as if they were desperate.

A wave of 9-3, the Raptors chased 52-58 to only 6 points.

Wang called a timeout tomorrow, and the players who came off the field were demoralized.

He took a deep breath and spoke in a stern tone he had never seen before.

"I'm disappointed with your performance, we only led in the first half, but in your eyes it was like we had won the whole series."

"You ......."

Wang Tomorrow suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Do you want to win or not!" ”

Wang Tomorrow had never been so angry, and including Iverson and the others, they were all silent and secretly ashamed. Ask yourself, just now, indeed, the game was a little watery, not only did the concentration drop, but also on the court subject to the Raptors' inclination, and the game was extremely bad.

The king left everyone there tomorrow, and there was not a single tactic arranged.

Subsequently, four up and four down, except for Aaron Iverson, who did not go down, everyone else went down.

Wang will be replaced tomorrow with Saab Saflosa, Paul Millsap, Ilyasova and Steven Hunter.

Millsap was young, and there were three players on the court who were very good at grabbing rebounds, and there was no motivation to say.

The 76ers' sudden change of lineup surprised Mitchell, and this lineup looked like a ...... It's a patchwork of makeover, but on closer inspection, it seems to be very organized.

Pause back.

Iverson shifted sharply forward and stepped out to the right.

TJ Ford shrinks defensively.

"Bang!"

Before he could react, two walls on the left and right blocked his angle.

"Double Block!"

TJ Ford turned his head and shouted, "Make! ”

However, what was left for him was a shrinking No. 3 back, who successfully leaned over and hit a layup in front of Chris Bosh's reinforcement.

Paul Millsap and Iliazor were extremely aggressive in grabbing rebounds.

After the blockade is completed, one is evacuated outward, and the other is cut inward.

Even if Iverson didn't score the layup, Paul Millsap was already inside and ready to rush for the frontcourt rebound.

This is the 76ers' rebounding tactic, after configuration, the rebounding control on the court has reached its peak, and the ability to rush rebounds is very strong.

Defensively, Ilyasova's footsteps couldn't stop Chris Bosh, Paul Millsap returned to the No. 5 position, and Ilyasova switched to small forward.

Bosh failed to read the defensive situation on the pitch and chose to force the ball himself.

A small throw similar to a guard missed, and the rebound was taken by Paul Millsap.

"It's back, morale."

Wang Mingming felt it, and the 76ers players on the court returned to the state of the first half, and the 4 people who were replaced off the court were also restless, and kept turning their heads to look at Wang Mingming, their eyes full of eagerness.

He was amused in his heart, he had never seen Iguodala, Harrington and others have such a strong desire to fight.

Five minutes later, Wang started to rotate tomorrow and replaced the main player.

The 76ers managed to stretch the score to more than 10 points.

Iverson scored 22 points at the end of the third quarter, the highest of the game, the best performance of the 76ers.

Eventually, the game was over.

The 76ers defeated the Toronto Raptors 109-92 on the road in the first game of the series.

Winning the first series made all kinds of authoritative pre-game predictions a laughing stock.

But they're used to it.

Speaking about the game, coach Sam Mitchell said that Bagyani's injury was a huge blow to the team, "He has the quality of our team to start, he is an important member of us, and he has lost his love, he has lost his love.......
