After the substitution, the Raptors scored 15 points in a row and narrowed the score gap to single digits before halftime.

The Rockets were shocked into a cold sweat, no one expected that the Raptors, who were about to give up the game, would suddenly burst out with such a huge amount of energy, especially Ramon Murray, the Rockets did not investigate any information about this player before the game, because according to Kevin O'Neal's rotation policy, Ramon Murray could not get a chance to play.

However, Ramon Murray played in this game, and after playing, he also scored 4 three-pointers, which was the biggest contributor to the Raptors' pursuit of points. And Roger Mason is the same, the Rockets don't have Roger Mason's information at all.

In the away dressing room after halftime, Jeff Van Gundy was there pulling his throat and asking his assistant for information on Roger Mason and Ramon Murray: "Bernie! Hurry up and look it up, I want information about Roger Mason and Ramon Murray! What the hell! When did the Raptors' bench come out with these two players? ”

Jeff Van Gundy shouted, and an assistant coach hurriedly went to find a computer in the locker room, while another assistant coach analyzed it unhurriedly: "Jeff, in fact, we can see from the first half of the game, this Roger Mason is a 3D player, and this Ramon Murray is a short interior who can shoot three-pointers, so we just need to do this kind of targeting."

The Rockets urgently formulated a strategy against Roger Mason and Ramon Murray, but the atmosphere on the Raptors' side was a little leisurely, chasing 15 points in the second quarter, which made Kevin O'Neal breathe a sigh of relief, he saw the hope of victory, and couldn't help but set his sights on Xu Yi, because he knew who was the hero who helped the team overtake the score just now.

If it weren't for Xu Yi's request, Roger Mason and Ramon Murray would not have been able to play, and if they didn't make mistakes, the Raptors would not have been able to recover the score. And now, the Raptors are still 6 points behind, so at the beginning of the second half, what the Raptors need to do is to take advantage of the victory to chase and expand the results.

Kevin O'Neal was ready to let the five who were chasing points in the second quarter continue to play, but Xu Yi had a different idea.

After the restart in the third quarter, Xu Yi found that the color of the top of Ramon Murray's head had changed to blue, which obviously meant that he was in extremely poor condition, and perhaps the arrangement of the Rockets had affected him. In this case, Ramon Murray obviously can't continue to play, otherwise the Raptors will be 4 to 5 in the game, and they will not be able to continue to chase points.

Xu Yi observed for a while, and then pulled Kevin O'Neal and said a new adjustment: "Kevin, we have to replace Ramon Murray, the Rockets have already arranged for him." ”

"And who are we going to replace?" Kevin O'Neill already has some meaning to be obedient. However, for Xu Yi, who to replace is also a difficult problem, Xu Yi thought about it, now Vince Carter and Roger Mason in the light red state are going to continue to play, and Rodstrickland on the bench also has an orange glow and can also play, plus Don Yell Marshall and Chris Bosh who have a golden state light, this lineup is also good, and it can be chased points.

"Replace Lamond with Rhodes and the rest will be the same."

Kevin O'Neal immediately adjusted according to what Xu Yi said, and did not forget to add: "Remember to hand over the ball to Vince to handle!" ”

However, Xu Yi immediately said: "No, don't do this, play more inside, especially if we want to play around Chris." ”

"Chris? Chris Posh? Kevin O'Neal can't understand that although Chris Bosh has a good offense, the opponent is Yao Ming, and the main point of Bosh is obviously a bit dead.

Xu Yi smiled slightly: "Kevin, listen to me, that's right!" The reason why Xu Yi is so confident is because he saw the dark gray light above Yao Ming's head, the gray state is the worst state Xu Yi knows, if he doesn't stare at Yao Ming now, do you have to wait until Yao Ming finds his state before fighting?

Although he couldn't understand Xu Yi's thoughts, Kevin O'Neal still did so and asked Chris Bosh to beat Yao Ming more.

Soon the offense began on the court according to the arrangement, and after two or three rounds, the result was surprising, Bosh was able to shake Yao Ming almost a few steps, and then hit a shot, so that the Raptors' offensive success rate became very high. And the Rockets' offense is also relatively smooth, but compared with the Raptors, it is naturally a little worse.

Therefore, in the third quarter, the Raptors slowly eroded the point difference and became the leading side.

Bosh continued to single Yao Ming successfully, Kevin O'Neal also kept looking at Xu Yi, he now believes in Xu Yi more and more, this game, he arranged according to what Xu Yi said, and none of the arrangements were successful, all of them succeeded!

At this time, Xu Yi squinted his eyes, he found that Yao Ming's state gradually returned, and in the rocket's offensive round, Yao Ming got the ball several times in a row, and successfully beat Bosh, which helped Yao Ming gradually regain his form. At the same time, Xu Yi was helpless, but he also felt more and more that the Raptors needed a pure center.

Don Yell Marshall and Chris Bosh are both soft-handed power forwards, which makes the Raptors' interior hardness insufficient, and when encountering a team like the Rockets, the interior is easy to be blown up. Xu Yi thought of Antonio Davis at the beginning of the season, the blue-collar center who was sent out by the Raptors in exchange for Jalen Rose in the middle of the season, and from Xu Yi's point of view, the deal was an out-and-out ball-blind deal.

In the case that the team is not short of outside shooters, it is necessary to exchange the team's scarce interior center for an outside shooter, and it is obvious that the general manager of the Raptors has his brain.

But it's too late to say this now, Xu Yi observed the state of all the players again, and he found that Jalen Rose, who had been sitting on the cold bench for two quarters, instantly changed the color of his head from blue to dark red, and Xu Yi asked Kevin O'Neal to make a substitution, so that Roger Mason would rest and Jalen Rose would play.

After Jalen Rose came out, he scored 10 points in a row, which directly helped the Raptors lock up the win, and when they were 21 points behind in the second quarter, the Raptors actually completed a big comeback! This is something that everyone didn't expect, especially Kevin O'Neal, you know, in the second quarter, Kevin O'Neal had given up, and he was not ready to make any adjustments, but Xu Yi's intervention helped the team overtake.

The game was finally over, and looking back on the game, Kevin O'Neal was a little surprised to find that every adjustment of Xu Yi actually achieved results! Bringing on Ramon Murray and Roger Mason directly helped the team catch up with most of the point difference. and then replaced Rodstrickland and stared at Yao Ming to help the Raptors overtake the score. In the end, Jalen Rose was replaced to help the Raptors extend their advantage and determine the victory.

It can be said that Xu Yi's adjustment allowed the Raptors to win this game!

The Rockets didn't react at all, and Jeff Van Gundy was still a little strange, why was Yao Ming blown up by Chris Bosh? Why is every Raptors player like a doping? He couldn't figure it out.

Compared with the two teams' head coaches, the players looked very open, and after the game, Yao Ming ran up to greet Xu Yi, and at the same time had to **.

Da Yao is very good at being a person, asked Xu Yi about Nix, and after comforting Xu Yi, he proposed to invite Xu Yi and the bus to dinner, but Xu Yi still excused himself out of the consideration of the host, and turned to the bus and Xu Yi to invite Yao Ming to dinner.

Because the Rockets didn't play the next day, they would stay in Toronto for a day, so Yao Ming didn't refuse, and the three of them booked a small private room in a restaurant next to the arena, chatting while eating, which can be regarded as deepening the compatriot friendship between the three.
