Chapter 6 Losing Considerations

After the home game against the Rockets, the Raptors left for Indiana the next afternoon, where they will take on the Indiana Pacers, which is a very big challenge for the Raptors.

The Auburn Hills Palace incident that prompted the Pacers to decline happened next season, so the current Pacers are still a strong team, one of the best teams in the East, in the face of this Pacers, the Raptors are somewhat lacking in confidence, although they won the Rockets in the last game, but in fact, in the last game, the Raptors players also won a little inexplicably.

They don't think they can get a win on Indiana's road, and although Xu Yi also wants to help the team win again, but the team's strength is too much worse than the Pacers, and Xu Yi can only help a group of teams in allocating player playing time.

In this game, Xu Yi observed the state of the players before the game, and finally let Kevin O'Neal continue to play in the original starting lineup, because Xu Yi found that all the players on the Raptors' side had the state light above their heads that kind of pale yellow light, which made Xu Yi a little helpless, this color shows that the state of the whole team on the Raptors' side is average, and Xu Yi has nothing to adjust.

At the beginning of the game, the Raptors fell into passivity, but Xu Yi could only sit on the sidelines and be anxious, because there was really no one to change. And Xu Yi found that the Raptors have no tactics, and the Raptors' tactics are that Vince Carter's singles, Jalen Rose's shooting, and Chris Bosh's inside singles are not a systematic tactic anyway.

Xu Yi also understands why the Raptors, a fairly good lineup, will be taken away from the playoffs by Kevin O'Neal. In fact, in terms of pure strength, the Raptors' lineup is stronger than the Rockets' lineup, but now in fact, the Raptors are outside the playoffs, and there is only a theoretical possibility of advancing to the playoffs. The Rockets, on the other hand, are firmly in seventh place in the West.

This can actually be seen in the role of a coach.

If the comparison between the Rockets and the Raptors reflects the role of the tactical system, then the comparison between the Raptors after Xu Yi's return and the previous Raptors is the comparison of the coach's on-the-spot command.

In this game, Kevin O'Neal obviously relied on Xu Yi a little, and kept looking at Xu Yi.

And Xu Yi also waited for a while, and then saw a red light on the bench, Rodstrickland, the old point guard sat off the court for 5 minutes, and the state finally changed from pale yellow to red, although it was only a faint red, but for Xu Yi, this is enough, a Rodtrickland can help other players find their form.

"Kevin." As soon as Xu Yi spoke, Kevin O'Neal immediately turned his head to look at Xu Yi. "It's time to make a change, bring in Rhodes, we need a more fluid attack, we can't play like a headless fly."

After Xu Yi finished speaking, Kevin O'Neal felt that it made sense, and now the Raptors' offense is very chaotic, and he replaced Rod Strickland, who used to be the league's assist king, how to think about it, so Kevin O'Neal quickly replaced Rod Strickland as he said.

From this substitution, Xu Yi helplessly found that he seemed to have become the real head coach of the Raptors, although he was named an assistant coach. Now Kevin O'Neal can be said to be obedient to Xu Yi's words, it should be said that Xu Yi's adjustment in the last game made Kevin O'Neal convinced, coupled with the recent predicament, Kevin O'Neal had to choose to believe in Xu Yi, believing that Xu Yi had more goods in his stomach.

Fundamentally, although Rodstrickland is old, he is in good shape in this game, and his strength is still there.

This made Xu Yi think about it off the court, the team seems to need a starter-level point guard, especially the kind of point guard who is good at passing, Xu Yi suddenly thought of a person, and later joined Jose Calderon of the Raptors directly, and he also smiled with satisfaction in his heart. Now Xu Yi has some meaning to substitute himself into the identity of the head coach of the Raptors, in fact, according to the current situation, Xu Yi does have a good chance to take over the Raptors.

Although Rodstrickland's play brought some changes to the Raptors, this change was not enough to help the Raptors reverse the decline on the court, the Pacers still firmly controlled the rhythm of the court, and the Raptors could only control the score a little and not let the score continue to expand.

Xu Yi was a little anxious, he wanted to see the second player in the red state, Xu Yi found that he was now a little dependent on this plug-in, this may be the welfare that God gave him after being reborn, it is indeed very useful. But at this time, Xu Yi was also surprised, he found that he relied too much on this plug-in, which is not a good phenomenon, if you want to gain a foothold in the NBA, you actually have to rely on your own ability.

Xu Yi thought about it, and then felt a little relieved, he is not without strength, but his strength is not used yet, because Xu Yi's strength is actually the basketball tactical knowledge and experience that he remembers to be 10 years ahead of this era, this is his real strength, if Xu Yi really wants to use this strength, he may have to wait until the day he becomes the head coach.

However, the game looked at it again, Kevin O'Neal replaced Roger Mason according to Xu Yi's arrangement, replacing Jalen Rose, who turned blue, and the Raptors gradually stabilized the situation, and at this time Xu Yi suddenly felt that he could do something else.

Now that Kevin O'Neal is obedient to his words, Xu Yi feels that he can directly build the Raptors' tactical system from now on.

The reason why Xu Yi has this idea is not only for the convenience of his future coaching, but also for two more important points.

The first point is Vince Carter's attitude, now this Raptors, Vince Carter is still very important, if Xu Yi takes over, there is Vince Carter in the team, then the Raptors are the championship team, if not, then it is just a rebuilding team. In order to let Vince Carter see the hope of the team and not just want to leave the Raptors, Xu Yi can only let the team show the strength of a strong team at the end of this season.

The second point is that Xu Yi is to further show his ability, Xu Yi doesn't know how much support and trust he can win just by showing himself on the spot now, but Xu Yi believes that once he shows his tactical genius, maybe the next head coach of the Raptors can only be Xu Yi.

And among these two points, the most important is the second point, Xu Yi wants to ensure that he can get the position of head coach of the Raptors.

After thinking about the current tactics of the Raptors in depth, Xu Yi suddenly thought of the horizon, and he couldn't take care of this game. The game naturally lost in the end, but Xu Yi had already considered the tactics suitable for the Raptors.
