fell in the first round of the playoffs for two consecutive years, and the Raptors were also labeled as a "pseudo-strong team", and Wang Zhuo also watched the video of the Raptors in the playoffs. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Overall, the Raptors' performance is good and bad, very inconsistent, he can play an efficient and smooth offense in a short period of time, pull the score away in an instant, and will also be tied in a few minutes with a lead of more than a dozen points, so being labeled as a pseudo-strong team did not wronged this Raptors team with two All-Star backcourts.

In Wang Zhuo's view, the main reason for the instability of the Raptors' performance is the team's head coach Dwyane Casey's on-the-spot adaptability deviation, of course, this is not a negation of Casey's coaching ability, Casey is a talented head coach, but this talent seems to only be manifested in the regular season, and in the playoffs, his on-court adaptability has become a hard injury for the Raptors.

Therefore, Wang Zhuo thought about temporarily changing the formation, catching the Raptors off guard, widening the point difference, and waiting for Casey to understand, and then doing targeted defense, always taking the lead in front of him.

At the end of the first half, the score on the court was 56:55, and the Raptors temporarily led by one point, but from the overall situation of the first half, it was basically the stars of both sides who ended the offense on the court and controlled the rhythm of the game, and even the commentator predicted that the suspense of the game might be left until the last minute.

Of course, the managers of both teams don't think like this, they both want to change the situation on the field, but they are not willing to show their cards too early.

"Wang, it's up to you to arrange the tactics for the second half!"

When returning to the locker room at halftime, Fisher asked Wang Zhuo to arrange the tactics of the second half for the first time, which is not because Fisher gave up his hostility to Wang Zhuo, but because Wang Zhuo can always lead the Knicks to victory, the team wins, and he is more comfortable in the head coach's seat.

However, the more prominent Wang Zhuo's coaching ability, the more foiled Fisher's head coach became, and when Fisher began to rely on Wang Zhuo's tactics, he officially entered the countdown to his class, which is a double-edged sword that can both kill and hurt himself.

"In the second half, you come to the starter, remember, don't do anything, keep an eye on Kyle, this is your only chance to perform, if you mess up, don't expect me to start you next time!"

Wang Zhuo didn't say anything, nor did he depict any tactical running on the tactical board, but just called Jerry Grant in front of him, and admonished with a very serious expression.

"I ......"

Gerian Grant didn't know whether to be surprised or worried, and opened his mouth to say only one "I" and didn't know what to say next, and finally had to nod vigorously.

At the beginning of the second half, Wang Zhuo personally deployed the personnel on the field, he put Brook Lopez on the bench, promoted Jerry Grant to the starter, and played a three-back, two-forward tactic.

At this time, the Knicks' lineup on the court is Calderon, Afralo, Anthony, Grant and Porzingis, Wang Zhuo's purpose is very clear, he wants to strangle Lowry, and Jerry Grant and Lowry's style of play is very similar, strong and fast, so Wang Zhuo told him to defend Lowry at all costs.

At the same time, the handicap is mostly in the hands of Calderon, Afflalo and Anthony, and with such three musketeers, there is no fear of the Knicks' lack of firepower, and the only drawback may be that the strength of the interior is weakened.

Although such a lineup may make the Raptors' center Valanciunas more comfortable on the inside, Wang Zhuo is sure that this will definitely not make up for the lack of firepower caused by the Raptors' sudden loss of Lowry, which focuses on outside offense.

And put Calderon to the position of scoring guard, directly opposite DeRozan, although Calderon's defense is not good, but DeRozan's defense is often criticized, so Wang Zhuo doesn't mind the situation of two players exploding each other on the court, and the main thing is that the Knicks and Anthony are such a big killer.

Sure enough, after the start of the game, the Knicks' overall speed increased, while Lowry was limited by Grant's dogskin plaster-like defense, although it could not be completely limited, but the obvious drop in shooting percentage also turned the Raptors into a T-Rex with a missing leg.

In turn, Lowry's opposition to Grant, who does not participate in the offense, also completely lost the role of his outside defense, and at the same time, the liberated Calderon frequently won on the outside, and Anthony and Afflaro also understood and kept making balls for Calderon, seemingly deliberately trying to help him win this obviously different point guard matchup.

It only took 3 minutes for the Knicks to turn the difference around and widen it to 8 points, at which point Casey suddenly realized that he hurriedly called a timeout and shifted the center of the offense to Valanciunas on the inside.

This is the trap of Wang Zhuo, Wang Zhuo put Calder on the point guard, let Afflaro and Porzingis play inside and outside blocking, and use Afflaro to constantly impact the inside, forcing Valanciunas to focus more on the defensive end, while Anthony continues to use his personal ability to add points to the Knicks.

At this time, Lowry is completely like a frozen Tyrannosaurus Rex, with sharp teeth and strong claws, and can only watch the Raptors being slaughtered by the Knicks.

Despite DeRozan's firepower from the outside, the Knicks entered the fourth quarter with a 10-point advantage, and Lopez's mid-range shooting and interior defense kept the difference from being erased in bench time.

In order to liberate Valanciunas's defense, the Raptors sent Bismarck Biyombo, and sure enough, the big man instantly supported the Raptors' interior line, continuously blocked Afralo's layups, and with Valanciunas's interior offense, the Raptors narrowed the gap to 6 points.

Wang Zhuo would not watch the victory in his hand slip through his fingers, he removed Afraro and Calderon, played a three-high lineup of Porzingis, Lopez and O'Quinn at the same time, and let Porzingis and Lopez, who have the ability to shoot in the middle, take Biyombo out of the three-second zone, giving Anthony's breakthrough space, and at the same time, the presence of the three highs at the same time also made the Knicks' interior defense comprehensively improve and completely curb the Raptors' counterattack.

In the end, the Knicks relied on Wang Zhuo's tactical command to kill the Raptors with a score of 115:110, adding another victory to the Knicks.

Kyle Lowry handed over 14 points and 5 assists under Jerry Grant's desperate close defense, which is not bad or good-looking, but for an All-Star starting point guard, it is obviously unqualified, which also proves that Jerry Grant is a wonder soldier who has done an excellent job of fulfilling the instructions given by Wang Zhuo.

And the Knicks' starting point guard Calderon with Wang Zhuo and his teammates' intentional fulfillment, handed over 18 points, 8 assists and 2 steals, no matter what, the data on paper is Calderon superior, and the Knicks also took away an exciting victory from the Raptors' home court.
