At the end of the third quarter, the Suns reversed by 13 points in the third game, and it took only one quarter to overtake the Raptors and lead by one point at 90:89. Looking at the Raptors coach Dwayne Casey on the court, he looked very excited. Eddie Johnson said with a smile.

"What are you guys fighting? Ah, what are you playing, the time of a game, are you being caught up by others? Dwayne Casey said excitedly.

In 2005-06, Casey got his first head coach job in the NBA with the Minnesota Timberwolves, replacing Kevin McHale. Casey led the team to an overall record of 53-69, and he was fired on January 23, 2007, after only a year and a half in charge. The Timberwolves had a 20-20 record when he was fired, and his successor was Randy Whitman, who had a 12-30 record for the remainder of his tenure.

During the 2008-09 season, Casey began serving as an assistant coach for the Dallas Mavericks. In the 2009-10 season, the Mavericks won the divisional championship. In 2011, the Mavericks defeated the Heat in the Finals to claim their first championship. In June 2011, Casey left his position as assistant coach of the Mavericks to become head coach of the Toronto Raptors.

In early June 2011, the Toronto Raptors decided not to exercise Jay Triano's contract option. In the Raptors' search for a new head coach, Casey has been rumored to be one of the best candidates. On June 21, 2011, it was confirmed that Casey would be the head coach of the Toronto Raptors for the 2011-12 season.

Dwayne Casey is a powerful coach, the first time he took office as a head coach was when the three wolves disintegrated, and the Timberwolves turned from prosperity to decline, at that time everyone thought that Casey was not strong enough to let the Timberwolves leave the playoffs, until Witman took office to find that Casey had done a good job.

"Rudy, you've been playing for a long time today, Amir Johnson, you go up, pay attention to the champion show on the other side." Casey looked at the Raptors' outside three muskets and sighed, he asked himself that as long as one of the three muskets was replaced by an excellent blue-collar interior lineman, Casey would have the confidence to lead the Raptors to the playoffs, but it's a pity.

Rudy Gay's face was gloomy, and he glanced at Dwayne Casey unwillingly, without saying a word, he also felt that the team had gradually handed over the core position to DeRozan, and his former core had been rumored to be put on the shelf several times, and it seemed that the Grizzlies were currently most interested in themselves? Rudigai watched his teammates go on the field one by one, put on his coat and closed his eyes, then opened his eyes and stared at the field, stunned.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Raptors were replaced by Kyle Lowry, DeMardeRozan, Landry Fields, Amir Johnson, and Jonas Valranchonas

The Suns were traded for Archie Goodwin, Chris Middleton, Lee Mojab, Gerard Green, Markieff Morris

With the wonderful performance of Li Mojie and McCarvey in the league, everyone suddenly found that the 2013 draft was not a small year for the draft as speculated by experts, and this year the Suns not only selected Li Mojie, the core of the team, but also traded a potential inside line Rudy Gobert, and everyone thought that the Suns' draft this year was already very successful. Unexpectedly, this year, the Suns also traded a 29th pick two-way guard from the Thunder - Archiy Goodwin.

Unlike Li Mojie, who is the core of the team's cultivation as soon as he enters the NBA and gets a lot of playing time and ball rights, Archiy Goodwin does not have many opportunities in the Suns, Bledsoe is the first choice on point guard, Ramon Sessions is the sixth man, and Middleton and PJ Tucker on the point guard rotate on the court, and Archie Goodwin can only be the third choice in the two positions.

In fact, Archie Goodwin is a two-way guard with height and long arms, and his physical fitness is also at the league's first-line level, and he was once infinitely optimistic, but unfortunately the ball quotient determines the ceiling of this player In the month after entering the league, he not only has a high turnover rate and has become a hole in the defense, but also the contribution rate has become the lowest in the team several times, which makes the coaching staff sigh: The level of the ball quotient really determines the upper limit of the player.

After receiving Archiy Goodwin's pass, he dribbled to the outside of the three-point line, and Li Mojie pressed the rhythm slightly, and Markieff immediately stepped up to block the pick-and-roll.

With the help of Markieff's blocking, Li Mojie dribbled the ball into the three-point line, Li Mojie's breakthrough speed at this time was not too fast, he controlled the speed that almost wanted to throw Valanjonas away, but was able to keep up with the opponent.

In this way, Lee Mojie's breakthrough not only brought Valranjonas to the line, but also attracted Amir Johnson's defense.

Attracting the two defenders, Li Mojie, who rushed forward, immediately turned around and pushed the ball back into Markieff's hands.

Markieff picked up the ball, Archie Goodwin was on the left mid-range and Marc Lee was on the right mid-range, both of whom were covering for Middleton and Gerard Green.

"Markieff got the ball empty, no way, DeRozan came up to make up for the defense, misplaced, play? didn't play, Markieff passed to Middleton, Middleton made a three-point shot, there was, beautiful running, tactics. Albert applauded.

"Defend, defend." The crowd began to shout.

Defense, this is what Hornacek deliberately emphasized during the timeout, if you want to win, it is obviously not enough to attack, you must also start from defense. That's the difference between the Suns under Nash and the Warriors under Curry.

After Kyle Lowry dribbled to the halfcourt, Landry Fields started running as a white-skinned black perimeter player, Landry Fields was a tall wing player who could grab rebounds and bounce well; can't shoot at all, doesn't control the ball well, and makes a living by cutting without the ball; Athleticism is mediocre and better suited to small forwards. He tried to get the chance to attack by running directly away from Li Mojie.

It's not that he has to use him to catch and shoot, but he has to run, which consumes Li Mojie's physical strength, and after running around the court and not being able to get an offensive opportunity, Kyle Lowry began to look for teammates who can attack, and the ball was handed to DeRozan.

Hornacek arranged for Middleton to defend DeRozan alone, and both of them were about the same height and arm span, so Hornacek told Middleton to prevent him from shooting, and Gerard Green was ready to defend from the interior at any time.

Sure enough, DeRozan chose to break through Middleton, and then Green immediately defended it, facing the defense of two Suns players, DeRozan's basket failed to hit, and Li Mojie won the defensive rebound.

Li Mojie took the ball and quickly killed the other half of the court, bringing up the overall speed of both teams, rushing to the three-point line and pausing slightly, Li Mojie seemed to be waiting for his teammates to follow up, and the next moment, Li Mojie started suddenly and began to break through!

Landry Fields followed Li Mojie for a wild rush and just gained a foothold in the three-point line and was about to take a breath of relief, but who knew that Li Mojie suddenly launched an attack at this time.

The suddenness of the start, coupled with Li Mojie's proud speed, there was almost no suspense, and Li Mojie broke through Fields' defense.

Under the basket, Valanjonas, who had already retreated one step earlier, moved his steps for the first time to step forward to make up for the defense, as the defensive pillar of the Raptors' interior line and the defensive pillar of the entire team, Valranjonas took on the responsibility of protecting the restricted area in the Raptors.

The Lithuanian center was the No. 5 pick in 2011 and didn't join the NBA until 2012. Jonas Valanciunas is a low-post center with excellent mobility, capable of finishing offenses and making fouls; Rebounding is good, moving fast but not strong enough on the defensive end; Instability in mid-range and rarely passing.

Jonas Valanciunas is improving every year, combining soft touches, naturalness with touches, footwork and a strong body to effectively complete back-to-back singles, cut-in, secondary attacks, pick-and-rolls and point-based jumpers, and is highly effective in pick-and-rolls and fast breaks, with the potential to be a dominant traditional center.

Before the game, Dwayne Casey did tell Valanjonas to pay attention to the impact of Gerard Green, PJ Tucker, and Lee Mojie on the basket, so at this time, after finding that Lee Mojie broke through Landry, he immediately made up for it.

Dribbling the ball, Li Mojie faced Noah's defense in the paint area, and just as everyone was about to have a big collision between Li Mojie and Valanjonas on Mars and Earth, Li Mojie suddenly slowed down, and then turned around and pushed the ball out.

But it was Gerrard who didn't know when he cut in, and Gerald Green took the ball and it was a violent dunk. "Bang"

"Well done, Green."

"Beautifully buttoned!"
