"The Raptors are facing the Grizzlies at home, and the new coach of the Raptors has changed their starting lineup again, their starting point guard is still Rodstrickland, and the scoring guard is still Vince Carter, but their small forward is Roger Mason, the power forward is Morris Pietson, and the center is Jalen Rose! This is a super short lineup, the tallest Jalen Rose is only 6'8", Morris Pieterson is 6'7", Vince Carter is 6'6", and the remaining two players are only 6'5"! ”

For such a starting lineup of the Raptors, ESPN's commentator Mike Brin can no longer be described as surprised, he is now wondering what the Raptors want to do!

What do the Raptors want to do? Many people racked their brains and couldn't think of what the Raptors wanted to do, and the Grizzlies veteran Hubi Brown was also very strange about the Raptors' lineup, he just thought about it and just felt that the Raptors wanted to use this super short lineup to continue to play their fast attack, he never thought that the lineup that Xu Yi discharged was actually a tactical idea that transcended the times.

Pat Riley once said that the future of basketball will be made up of five swingmen around 2 meters, and many people dismiss this argument from Pat Riley. However, Xu Yi already knows that Pat Riley's argument is very reasonable, because in later generations, in the Heat, Pat Riley has tried his tactic, with LeBron James as the center, which can play a very smooth offense and extremely high pressure defense.

Now, the lineup used by Xu Yi is the low-end version of the lineup of 5 swing people, and the help of this lineup for the Raptors is that their fast break can involuntarily play very smoothly, and on the defensive end, maybe in the face of a long man like Pau Gasol, they will seem helpless, but overall, the Raptors' defense can be extremely oppressive.

This lineup is actually a gamble for Xu Yi, in the case of not being able to solve the Grizzlies' interior line, the Raptors chose to ignore the Grizzlies' interior and chose to fight the Grizzlies on the outside line that they are best at.

Xu Yi is still very confident, but his subordinates are not so confident, Kevin O'Neal's face is wrinkled, he is very puzzled by Xu Yi to discharge such an adventurous lineup, and at the same time very worried.

"Xu, is it really okay to fight like this?"

"I'm not sure, let's take a look." Xu Yi replied vaguely, and squinted his little eyes to observe the game carefully. In fact, Xu Yi also has a high interest in this future basketball of Pat Riley, and he wants to test how feasible this future basketball is. If the feasibility is very high, then Xu Yi can find ways to organize such a lineup, which is not difficult for Xu Yi who has future memories.

"The Raptors' offense, their five-man lineup is fast, oh! In less than 12 seconds, they made a move, too anxious! I was in a bit of a hurry, and the goal didn't go in! The Raptors don't have rebounds, so the rebounds were picked up by Pau Gasol, and I think the Raptors are really killing themselves by putting out such a starting lineup. ”

At this time, Xu Yi's face not only did not have an expression of suicide, but was overjoyed, because he found a point that could be used!

The Grizzlies' current interior combination is 2.18m Jake Chaccaridis and 2.13m Pau Gasol, who move super slowly. And the rebounding problem that Xu Yi was worried about seems to be solved.

Just Paul Gasol picked up a rebound, in fact, it was because Pau Gasol stood at the top of the arc to organize the offense, so he was able to rush to the backcourt to pick up the rebound, and what Xu Yi has to do now is to continue to speed up the offense, so that the two big men of the Grizzlies can't return to defense in time, and the five small ones on the Raptors' side rush to grab the rebound, and the advantage of offensive rebounds can be obtained.

Thinking of this, Xu Yi hurriedly stood on the sidelines and set up, shouting towards the field, asking the players to continue to speed up.

"The ball is broken! Vince Carter cut off the ball, the Raptors' fast break came again, and the Grizzlies couldn't react at all, because the Raptors were very fast! Vince Carter dunks directly! Ball in! ”

The Grizzlies' offense was still unhurried, but White Chocolate's pass was wrong, and a flashy back-of-head pass was cut off by Vince Carter, and the Raptors played a fast break.

Then, the Grizzlies still came slowly to attack, and handed the ball to Pau Gasol according to Hubbie Brown's instructions on the sidelines. Pau Gasol hit Jalen Rose with his back, took a few steps into the box, turned around and made a hook layup, and successfully hit.

The Raptors still have nothing to do with the Grizzlies' interior singles, but in the same way, the Raptors' fast attack, the Grizzlies can't prevent it, in the next few waves of fast breaks, the Raptors play a fast break of about 10 seconds every time, even if they don't score, Vince Carter and others will definitely be able to get a second chance to attack, just like that, the Raptors actually controlled the situation on the court step by step.

But at this moment, what Xu Yi has been worried about is about to happen, the old coach Hubi Brown is not comparable to Tim Floyd and others, and there are no disobedient players in the team. So Hubby Brown called a timeout when the Raptors hit a three-pointer and led by just over five points.

At this time, it was already the eighth minute of the first quarter, and Hubby Brown made two direct substitutions, Earl Watson replaced the white chocolate who was constantly making mistakes in the first quarter, and at the same time replaced the big center Jack Chacalidis with Stro MyersSwift.

The first substitution, Xu Yi knew that this was an adjustment of Hubbie Brown's rhythm control. As for the second substitution, Xu Yi didn't think much about it, he thought that it might be that Hubi Brown felt that the 2.18-meter-tall Jack Chacalidis was a little tired, so he came down to rest.

And next, the Raptors are going to give up the advantage on the court because of Xu Yi's negligence.

For the Grizzlies' substitutions, Xu Yi also made two corresponding substitutions, he directly replaced Rod Strickland with Ramon Murray, and replaced Roger Mason with Don Yell Marshall.

2.01 meters of Rammond Murray and 2.06 meters of Don Yell Marshall directly pushed Jalen Rose down, Jaylen Rose breathed a sigh of relief, he had always been the one who defended Pau Gasol before, but he was tired.

The Raptors gave the ball to Vince Carter, and they continued to run, continuing to try to play the time difference to gain an offensive rebounding advantage.

However, after the substitution, the first wave of the Raptors' offense gave the Raptors a heavy blow, the Raptors ran to the front court according to the original plan, picked up the basketball and rushed into the three-point line, Jalen Rose directly made a mid-range shot on the spot, but it didn't score, but seeing Vince Carter appear under the basket, everyone felt that they still had a second offense

Didn't they do that before?

But this time it was different, Stroy MyersSwift rushed over like the wind, jumped up directly, and grabbed the rebound by beating Vince Carter!

Xu Yi slapped the bench under his buttocks, and he suddenly understood that Stroy MyersSwift's play actually gave the Grizzlies a highly mobile inside! Unlike Pau Gasol, Stroy MyersSwift's speed is completely comparable to several of the Raptors' forward players, and unless Xu Yi further reduces the height of the players on the court, the Raptors will not have an advantage in terms of speed.

But can the height of the pitch really be lowered? Apparently no!

Since this wave of offensive failures, the Raptors have actually begun to decline directly, Xu Yi originally wanted to implement the idea of future basketball, so that the Raptors' fast break can be played more easily. Now, the Raptors got their wish, and Earl Watson's arrival on the court only made them a lot less turnovers and didn't help the Grizzlies control the rhythm.

But the appearance of Stro Myers Swift has made the Raptors' fast break somewhat contained.

Vince Carter's layup, Stroy MyersSwift slapped the basketball away! Nice defense! ”

On the Grizzlies' side, the old coach Hubi Brown has sat firmly on the bench, and the situation on the court has fallen in favor of the Grizzlies. In his mind, the Grizzlies have won this game, Pau Gasol has played on the shelf, and StroMyers Swift has come on the court to curb the Raptors' fast break, how can this game not be won?

And just as Hubby Brown thought, Xu Yi was already panicked, what should I do? Xu Yi thought about it, and he felt that the more critical it was, the more calm he had to be.

But Kevin O'Neal beside him, pacing back and forth anxiously in front of Xu Yi, Xu Yi was annoyed by Kevin O'Neal, and pulled Kevin O'Neal to sit next to Xu Yi, at this time, Xu Yi suddenly thought of a way to solve the current predicament!

However, looking at the time, there were 45 seconds left in the first quarter, and Xu Yi was ready to make adjustments in the second quarter.

Soon, after the first quarter was over, Xu Yi began to prepare for the team's big adjustment, and what he didn't know was that in the press bench not far from the Raptors' bench, there were already reporters who couldn't hold back their excitement and actually wrote a press release for the game! The above is a criticism of Xu Yi!

"Too ego! The new coach of the Raptors has a strange lineup! ”

However, there are also reporters who have learned the lessons of the last game, and although they are looking forward to the end of the game in their hearts, they have not shown it on their mouths and faces.

At this moment, Xu Yi's big adjustment had come, and when he pulled down Kevin O'Neal, he thought of the idea, which was actually to restore the team to its original lineup. Xu Yi directly made an adjustment to let Chris Bosh return to the court and form an interior line with Don Yell Marshall, so that the Raptors' interior height returned. At the same time, the team's fast break will not give up either.

And this is Xu Yi's killer feature, everyone thinks that the run-and-bomb tactics must be a small lineup, but Xu Yi just made a big lineup, and the team still plays fast attack, but more to the inside, in fact, Xu Yi can think of this, naturally inspired by the sun in later generations.
