"Well done, guys, let's keep playing like this, but we still need to speed up the attack, we need to make sure that every wave is over in about 10 seconds." At the end of the first quarter, Xu Yi gathered all the players and summed up the game in the first quarter.

Overall, the Raptors' fast offense is still very good, and the defense is okay after adjustments, Xu Yi just emphasized the speed, and then sat back and waited for the start of the second quarter.

And the New Yorkers on the Knicks' side have begun to fight among themselves, Xu Yi turned his head to look, he saw Stephen Marbury waving his hands and saying something, and he didn't have to think about it to know that the guy was reprimanding other players. This happened many times when Xu Yi was still in the Knicks, whenever Stephen Marbury played well and his teammates did not play well, Stephen Marbury would blame all the mistakes on his teammates.

Stephen Marbury thinks he's the boss of the Knicks, and he thinks he's taking on the responsibility of being a boss by doing so, and I'm playing like this, look at you guys, what the hell are you fighting? I don't reprimand and reprimand you, am I still the boss?

Maybe that's what Stephen Marbury thinks, but many of the games the Knicks lost were lost after Stephen Marbury reprimanded his teammates, and his teammates didn't want to play at all and lost the game. That's how a big part of the lone wolf name came about, and no one in the league wants to play with Stephen Marbury.

In the second quarter of the game, the Raptors continued to implement the strategy of the first quarter, putting Stephen Marbury two steps and guarding against other players. And in the attack, continue to increase speed like crazy. Xu Yi made a few substitutions from time to time, and halfway through the second quarter, the number of players in the Raptors reached 9, in addition to the starting five, Don Yell Marshall, Morris Pietson, Milt Palacio and Michael Curry all got the opportunity to play.

Among them, Milt Palacio's performance made Xu Yi very satisfied, this backup point guard who was not valued by Xu Yi actually supported the team's organization after Rod Strickland went off the court, and perfectly integrated into the run-and-gun tactics.

The Raptors, who insisted on the tactics of the first quarter, slowly stretched the difference to 20 points, and by the end of the half, the Raptors were already leading by 24 points!

In the courtside press box at the Madison Square Garden Arena, the reporters who wanted to see the Raptors' jokes had lost the excitement they had at the beginning of the first quarter, and they all sat in place, holding their cameras and silent. And Walter Frazier, who was still very emotional in his previous commentary, also wilted, holding the microphone for a long time and unable to say a word.

Not to mention the atmosphere at the Madison Square Garden arena, where there was so much boos that the Knicks didn't get cheers at all. It's fair to say that the fans in New York are the least patient players in the world, as you can see from this game.

At the end of the half, Xu Yi glanced at Stephen Marbury, who was a little unable to walk, and he knew that the last ring could be used.

In the first half, the Raptors put Stephen Marbury two steps, allowing Stephen Marbury to score 22 points in the half, which can be described as a big shine, although the Knicks are 24 points behind, but everyone is talking about how well Stephen Marbury played, in the face of life and death enemy Xu Yi, he played his best performance, and everyone ignored the Raptors' loose defense of Stephen Marbury.

And in the second half, Xu Yi is going to change this defensive attitude, he wants to block Stephen Marbury and let Stephen Marbury show his original form in the second half!

"Well, guys, you see, you did a great job leading by 24 points in the first half, but that's only a 24-point lead, and it's not enough for the Knicks to surrender outright, so we still need to fight for a quarter." Xu Yi clapped his hands again, attracting the attention of the players.

"In the third quarter, we had to make a little change, attack, we continued, every 10 seconds, we had to keep going. In addition, we made some changes defensively, we continued to put two steps on defense, but as soon as Stephen Marbury broke through, we immediately wrapped him up, and we locked him up! ”

In the third quarter of the game, the Raptors lined up point guard Milt Palacio, scoring guard Vince Carter, small forward Morris Peterson, power forward Don Yell Marshall, and center Chris Posh, while the Knicks were still all the main players.

"At the beginning of the third quarter, the Raptors took a 24-point lead in the first half, which really surprised us, and it seems that after the change of coach, the Raptors have indeed improved." ESPN's commentary duo Mike Brin commented on the Raptors' performance quite rationally.

Mafu Albert on the side also said: "That's right, changing the coach is like changing the knife, and the Raptors are obviously changing to an unusually sharp knife!" ”

"The second half started, Milt Palacio dribbled through the half, he was very fast, passed, Vince Carter in high speed took the ball, he rushed to the basket! Oh no! Vince Carter split the ball, Chris Bosh received the ball and threw it, and he was unguarded in the mid-range position, and it went in! ”

"Although the Raptors' run-and-gun tactics are just starting to be used, their offensive speed is really very fast, usually the point guard takes the ball to the front court and hands the ball to Vince Carter as quickly as possible, maybe the new head coach of the Raptors also has a requirement, that is, the offense must be completed in about 10 seconds, so we can see that the Raptors' slowest offense only took 15 seconds, although their offense ultimately failed."

After the Raptors led the Knicks by 24 points, the commentators began to discuss a few other things to come up with. ESPN's duo discussed the Raptors' run-and-gun tactics, while NBC's two commentators looked at Stephen Marbury, hoping to see Stephen Marbury's response to his enemy, Xu Yi, and whether he could continue even after the Knicks were down by a large margin.

The Raptors' fast break only took 12 seconds, and the Knicks immediately served in the backcourt, and Stephen Marbury had no intention of suppressing the rhythm at all, although Lenny Wellkens has emphasized many times to let Stephen Marbury suppress the rhythm, but will Stephen Marbury listen to Lenny Wellkens? Of course he won't.

Stephen Marbury rushed to the front court and found that Morris Piterson was still putting two steps on defense, and he rushed inside without thinking about it.

The Raptors will not contain Stephen Marbury in the first half, but Xu Yi has just made a change, seeing Stephen Marbury rushing into the three-point line again, Milt Palacio pounced directly, and cooperated with Morris Peterson to surround Stephen Marbury!

"Bag clip! The Raptors finally came up with a trap tactic, in the first half they defended the rest of the Knicks to the death, and in the second half, they had to solve the last problem, Stephen Marbury could not get the scoring opportunity as easily as in the first half! NBC's Mike Fratro, a commentator with many years of experience as a head coach, has long seen the Raptors' tactical intentions, and now that he sees the Raptors wrapping up Stephen Marbury, he knows that the Knicks are completely finished!

In fact, Lenny Wilkens didn't see it, and Xu Yi also knew that Lenny Wilkens could see the Raptors' purpose, but he knew that even if Lenny Wilkens saw it, it wouldn't be a big deal.

On the one hand, Stephen Marbury will not listen to Lenny Wilkens' arrangement and give up the ball instead, on the other hand, even if Stephen Marbury is willing to give up the ball, then the Raptors will have the advantage on the court, it is just a matter of the size of the advantage.

The Raptors began to guard against Stephen Marbury, and the press corps, who were still waiting for the game to be over, continued to use Stephen Marbury to satirize Xu Yi, began to be dumbfounded, because from the third quarter, the Raptors showed that they were not unable to guard against Stephen Marbury, they just did not defend or relaxed their defense against Stephen Marbury in order to get the advantage on the court.

From this point of view, this is Xu Yi's conspiracy, and this is precisely the embodiment of Xu Yi's ability, using Xu Yi's ability to satirize Xu Yi? This is something that only a fool can do.

In the third quarter, the Raptors, who turned to Stephen Marbury to defend strictly, actually continued to expand their lead, slowly from a 24-point lead to a 30-point lead, and finally, at the end of the third quarter, the Raptors replaced the main players and replaced several pure bench players on the court, at which time the Raptors' lead reached 42 points!

And Stephen Marbury shot 0 of 14 in the third quarter, which directly made everyone who was ready to see Xu Yi's jokes speechless, they were originally going to use data to prove how good Stephen Marbury was, but now? Stephen Marbury scored 22 points on 9-of-14 shooting in the first half and missed all 14 shots in the second half, scoring only four points from the free throw line? And then scored 26 points on 9-of-28 shooting from the field and shooting just 32 percent?

The fans of the Madison Square Garden Arena have almost retreated, and Xu Yi is bored and begins to think about the opponent of the next game, the next game is the home game of the Raptors, their opponent is the Grizzlies, the last matchup between the two sides is the previous game in which Xu Yi came to the Raptors, the Grizzlies won by 9 points at home, and Pau Gasol scored 29 points and 9 boards, directly breaking the Raptors' interior line.

Playing the Grizzlies can't be like playing the Knicks, the Grizzlies are also a playoff powerhouse in the West, with star players such as Pau Gasol, McMiller, and White Chocolate in the team, unlike the Knicks who are in poor shape, Xu Yi obviously has to prepare well.

The game finally ended, Kevin O'Neal next to him smiled, and the players also had happy smiles on their faces, and in the end the score between them and the Knicks was 117:81, and the Raptors won by 36 points.

The sluggish state has been swept away, and the current Raptors are already a new Raptors, and they are no longer the Raptors who could lose any game before!
