Reggie Miller is not bad, Michel just saw that the team was suppressed very badly, and Kreiza did not win the lottery today, so he turned on DeRozan's singles mode, he hoped that DeRozan could play a single quarter of explosive scoring, if DeRozan did it, the Raptors could rely on offense to change the rhythm of the game today.

But in the second quarter, although DeRozan performed very well, he still couldn't completely change the state of the game.

In this way, Michelle can only continue to bet that DeRozan can go crazy in the second half, or Kreiza can go crazy and take the game out of the mud puddle, otherwise he will always be so restrained that the game will not win.

DeRozan because the main offensive way is shooting, which is destined if DeRozan feels good, then no one can stop him, if he feels bad, then his efficiency will not be high, and when DeRozan relies on the low post to attack, then the offensive efficiency will be very low.

Kreza's situation is somewhat similar to DeRozan's, if the wind is pumping, then it can't be stopped, and if it can't be pumped, it's very ordinary.

In the first half today, DeRozan and Creza performed not badly, but they were only average, and they generally couldn't break through the shackles, and there was no way to break the defense arranged by the Knicks.

Yu Jia, who is on the domestic side, also began to explain the first half of the game at halftime:

"In today's game, the Knicks played more easily, much easier than the Raptors, but this is not to say that the Raptors are not as good as the Raptors, but in terms of style, the Raptors are not the kind of team that makes the Knicks very uncomfortable."

"Their main way to win now is to attack, and today they couldn't attack. The Knicks are naturally comfortable to play, but it is unrealistic to keep containing the Raptors' offense, because it depends on the Raptors' scorers. Anyone who plays well can change the game. ”

"The Raptors are definitely a team that feeds on the sky! If they play seven games in a row, I think even five Chamberlain won't be able to stop them! But if the hand is not good, they may not be able to pass a round, and now that the Knicks are playing with them, they must also pay attention to not let them feel better in the hand. ”

Yu Jia, this guy. In the domestic commentary, he is a person who attaches great importance to tactics, and he always likes to put himself in the role of the head coach to think about problems.

Yang Yi likes to bring himself into the perspective of the fans, and Director Zhang likes to bring himself into a reasonable point of view.

Yu Jia likes to put herself in the role of head coach. The Knicks' Tyberdu really did what Yu Jia wanted to do, and when he got to the locker room, Tyberdu first arranged the defense, and Tyberdu also learned the application of tactical details from Popovich after the previous game with the Spurs and Bulls. Very fine buckle for every detail. Set up a defense for everyone.

After arranging the defense, Tyberdu briefly explained the problem of offense, and on the Raptors' side, Michelle, like Tyberdu in the last game, gave the players more rights, hoping that the team could break through the current situation from the individual offense.

At halftime, the two teams returned to the court in the second half, returning to the court on the Knicks' side to kick off first.

That's when the Knicks called. Finally, it was time for Cousins' tactic, with four people on the team standing outside the three-point line. Cousins made a fake pick-and-roll at the top of the arc and suddenly cut to the basket.

Dragic passed the ball, Cousins received the ball and scored a quick layup, and Cousins fired the first shot of the second half for the Knicks.

Amir Johnson lost a ball, and he was also more depressed to the bottom line and drove the basketball out!

Amir Johnson's depression actually makes some sense, there are so many interior lines in the league that are good at projection, good at low posts, and good at face frames, but Cousins, a big fat man who is good at air cutting, is still unique, and this uniqueness makes Amir Johnson encounter more pressure on the defensive end.

The Knicks attacked, and the Raptors immediately advanced, and at this time Calderon controlled the ball to the Knicks' half, first passed the basketball to Ed Davis, who was on the outside, and then suddenly ran to the edge of the three-point line to catch the ball, Calderon, who took the ball, leaned in front of Dragic slightly, and then suddenly shot a three-pointer.

In the first half, although Calderon had offense, they were all more reasonable, all of them were balls in that routine, and at this time, he suddenly threw an unreasonable three-pointer, and Dragic was completely unprepared.

But the three-pointer landed in the basket, and Calderon opened with a three-pointer.

made such a decision, Calderon also saw that the team now needs to rely on offense to open up the situation, but today Kreza's state is average, DeRozan is entangled by Li Feng, this moment should come by himself, and Calderon also firmly believes that he can do it, so when he comes, Calderon will make a firm shot, and the shot will have an effect.

Seeing Calderón showing signs of attacking, Michel and Tyberdu both stood up together, because neither of them forgot that Calderón was a very dangerous key gentleman.

Li Feng also glanced at Calderon in surprise at this time, and reminded Dragic:

"Watch out for that guy!"

"I know!"

Dragic agreed here, thinking in his heart how to deal with this European fellow.

The Knicks played again, and it was Cousins' tactics again, but Cousins' side had a bad chance, so he took the ball and immediately passed the basketball to Monroe.

Monroe took the ball against Ed Davis to suppress the Raptors' low post, and then suddenly shot to score two points.

But at this time, after the first half, Ed Davis's state has adjusted back a lot, and an effective defense came to contain Monroe, turned around and grabbed the rebound, and the Raptors finally had some information advantage in the second half to adapt to the Knicks.

Although Ed Davis is not good at defending the low post, once the mentality is right, the defensive ability is still there, and after defending Monroe, he turned his head to grab the rebound in the backcourt and passed the basketball to Calderon.

Calderon took the ball and turned to fend off Dragic, and quickly ran towards the Knicks' half.

When running towards the opponent's half. Calderon yelled at DeRozan to come over and help him block the demolition.

DeRozan ran over and blocked in front of Calderon, who shook off Dragic and paused slightly on the three-point line. Raise your hand and make another three-point shot.

"Brush!"

Calderon's three-pointer hit again, and this time Calderon hit two three-pointers in a row to score six points.

Previously, Michelle wanted the team to open up the situation from the offensive end, but he only thought of DeRozan and Creza but did not think of Calderon, and at this time Calderon proved with his actions that he is also a player who can change the situation with attack at critical moments.

Calderon made two consecutive three-pointers to rewrite the score to 62-65, and the 9-point difference was instantly shortened to 3 points.

Calderón really relied on his own attack to change the tempo of the game at this time. Seeing that Calderón was so efficient, Tyberdu hurriedly took care of Dragic on the sidelines to strengthen his defense.

Dragic was tortured enough by Calderon today and was beaten down in the first quarter. In the third quarter, Calderon made another convulsive shot, and Dragic's fighting spirit also came up.

The point difference was quickly closed, and the Raptors were scoring like crazy, which was the most detrimental rhythm for the Knicks. You must know that the scoring explosiveness of the Raptors is also very strong. Let the Raptors play a wave of streams, and the Knicks can't hold it.

So at this time, the Knicks also immediately lifted their spirits and came over to attack steadily.

The Knicks came over and played a mismatch, and Cousins and Monroe went up to cover Li Feng in the high post and sent Li Feng to the low post to play DeRozan.

Once Li Feng got DeRozan here, he immediately felt more troublesome, DeRozan's strength was sufficient, and his pace was not slow. It's a bit difficult to break through defensively, but once you get into the inside defensive low post, it's just right.

Li Feng swayed from side to side. There was no chance to shake out a good one, so he could only forcibly throw a high throw to wipe the board.

But this ball was also missed, so DeRozan also defended Li Feng, and the Raptors grabbed the backcourt rebound, Li Feng came over and immediately said to Dragic:

"Don't let me DeRozan play in the low post, I play him with a high breakthrough success rate!"

Dragic nodded again and again, looking at Calderon in a hurry in the past, and the Raptors are now playing with momentum.

Calderon also immediately commanded the team to set up the formation, and the Raptors' formation was very stretched at this time.

Calderon got the ball up, DeRozan and Crezza all pulled to the bottom corner, and the line was flanked by Amir Johnson and Ed Davis.

As a result, space is almost entirely given to Calderón, and the two corners can both lunge towards the baseline and take advantage of high cover to catch the ball.

This is a simple and practical position, when Calderon was there to see the situation, Dragic because of the previous loss, at this time crazy to come up to Calderon steal, Calderon was almost stealed, can only pass the basketball to Amir Johnson, who is closest to him.

Amir Johnson took the ball to the opposite corner, DeRozan immediately took advantage of Ed Davis's cover and ran out, DeRozan ran out to catch the ball, but instead of rushing to attack, he immediately passed the basketball back to Calderon.

The Raptors' offense at this time suddenly became patient, which is a rather dangerous signal.

Just when Tyberdeau was nervous, DeRozan went back to give Calderon a cover, Calderon came up to the box and threw a high throw, and the basketball easily drilled into the Knicks' basket.

This time, Calderon scored 8 points in a row, rewriting the score to 64-65, and the difference between the two teams was one point.

This time the Knicks are in danger, and Payton also said at this time:

"The Raptors' offense is coming! At this pace, the Knicks may be at a loss. ”

Calderon suddenly made a force to beat the Raptors' morale rhythm, at this time the Raptors players were stretched and ran back quickly, at this time Calderon did not forget to tell his teammates:

"You have watched your own defenders, you must watch them!"

Calderon was also there to help the team stabilize their mentality, and the offensive and defensive guys could do it, so the Raptors' defensive enthusiasm also came up.

The Knicks attacked at this time, and they didn't dare to be careless at all, and Dragic came over here and passed the basketball to Belineri on the wing first.

Belineri gets the ball here and wants to pass the basketball to Monroe on the inside. But inside the line, Ed Davis was desperate not to let Monroe catch the ball.

Ed Davis pressed forward frantically, Monroe couldn't catch the ball on his side, and Pele was not very capable of playing strongly. Let's go back, the basketball passed to Dragic.

Dragic shook the ball and looked inside to see that Cousins was about to cut inside, and he hurriedly passed the ball to him! But just as Dragic passed, DeRozan suddenly came from the side and steals the basketball.

DeRozan suddenly made such a steal, and Yu Jia shouted in China:

"What a carelessness!"

The Raptors made a steal this time, and DeRozan didn't dribble and attack by himself. Instead, it turned back and passed to Calderón.

Calderon is now a little scared once he gets the ball, this guy looks unpretentious. But the power is really, really powerful.

Just when Dragic was staring at Calderon on his side, Calderon was advancing when suddenly an indifferent pass stuffed the basketball into the hands of DeRozan, who had already run to the baseline.

DeRozan gets the ball on the baseline, and Li Feng blocks one side. Just when everyone thought DeRozan was going to go head-to-head again.

DeRozan suddenly made a pass to the middle. Amir Johnson cut up from the middle and took the ball. "A dunk was done.

The Raptors actually played a team basketball at this time, and they overtook the score, and DeRozan also passed the ball at a critical moment and gave the Knicks a fatal blow.

After his teammates scored, DeRozan also found an opportunity, glanced at his mouth and said to Li Feng:

"How! I'll play too. ”

"Then I'll wait for you!"

Li Feng was reluctant to lose in his mouth, but at this time, Tyberdu urgently called a timeout.

Tyberdu didn't dare to let the other party beat the rhythm at this time. The Raptors have a strong ability to explode and score, so look at the opponent's rhythm. Playing with a team, he immediately called a timeout.

When it came to the bench, Tyberdu immediately said:

"We have to delay the Raptors, we can't let them play the rhythm easily, we have to put a certain amount of pressure on the ball on the defensive end, and when we suppress the opponent, we have to play our own fast!"

Tyberdu's demands are already overbearing, but this is the best way to restrain his team.

At this time, Reggie Miller also said on the side:

"The Raptors were suppressed by the Knicks in the first half, and finally fought back in the second half! I don't think any team can completely hold down the Raptors, and neither can the Knicks! ”

"Of course! This is the characteristic of the Raptors! But what about the Knicks' characteristics that didn't play out today? ”

Peyton argued while drinking Reggie Miller.

At this time, the timeout ended, the Knicks kicked off on the sideline, and the basketball came out and passed directly to Li Feng's hands.

Li Feng took the ball on the outside here, and Nixton opened up the space, and all the players pulled up to the bottom line.

Because Li Feng communicated with his teammates before, he still had a greater grasp of breaking through to DeRozan, and his teammates created opportunities, Li Feng immediately seized the opportunity, and suddenly started to break through and attack the basket under two consecutive crotches.

Li Feng's breakthrough in beating DeRozan can indeed take advantage of a little bit, and Li Feng's rapid breakthrough is just half of DeRozan's body.

In this way, Ed Davis on the inside can only come over to help defend, once Ed Davis assists in defense, Monroe pulls a little outside, and the vacant position comes out, Li Feng passes the ball behind his head to Monroe's hands behind, Monroe steps on the free throw line and shoots easily from the middle distance.

After the Raptors launched a wave of offense, the Knicks finally fought back, and Li Feng also changed his strategy to hit DeRozan.

The Knicks attacked successfully, and the Raptors immediately advanced with the ball, once the Raptors advanced this time, the basketball still passed to DeRozan on the wing first, DeRozan faced Li Feng's feet at this time, Li Feng did not give him space, he could only dribble and retreat and suddenly burst towards the middle.

At this time, Cousins made two mistakes, and when he came up to delay it, he bumped into DeRozan sideways, and immediately gave the Raptors two free throws! The referee's whistle blew, Cousins was fouled defensively, DeRozan went to the free throw line, and DeRozan hit one of two free throws at the free throw line, so that the two teams were tied at 68-68.

The game ended in a draw, and it looked like the Raptors had caught up with the score in one go, and the momentum was extremely ferocious.

But so far, the Knicks still have a lot of skills that they haven't shown! The Knicks ran over again, and Li Feng held the ball outside and called Cousins' block.

Li Feng's breakthrough to DeRozan has already made Michelle realize that DeRozan needs help, and at this time, he immediately told the team to help DeRozan in the past.

At this time, Li Feng and Cousins staggered, and then Li Feng quickly passed the basketball to Cousins, Cousins was misplaced at this time to face DeRozan, this is pure misalignment, facing DeRozan Cousins played comfortably, took a step to catch the ball, turned around and threw a throw, and scored easily on DeRozan's head.

Li Feng used his breakthrough for two consecutive rounds to create opportunities for his teammates on the inside, making the Raptors realize the Knicks' offensive advantage on the inside.

At this time, Cousins and Monroe on the court on the Knicks have comprehensive interior offensive skills, as long as Li Feng opens a gap from the outside, both of them can complete the score.

After the Knicks made the game a little simpler, they were even more efficient.

The Raptors quickly bit and caught up, but they still didn't make the Knicks' offensive and defensive transition, and the Knicks held the half-court position steadily.

In this case, the Raptors immediately played the half slowly, and the Raptors had the problem of being too hasty in the half, but now that Calderon is here, it depends on Calderon to quickly command the Raptors' half.

Calderon took the ball on the right, and Creza and Ed Davis on the left immediately went up to cover DeRozan.

DeRozan used the cover to quickly come out, and immediately got up to jump after receiving the ball, Li Feng was stuck in the back by Ed Davis, and could only watch DeRozan's bukkake Belineri.

The Raptors are also attacking now, and now the Raptors' offense is not complicated, but it is much better than before, the Raptors' offense was really a free offense, but after coming to Calderon, he will take the team to play some simple small cooperation, and with these simple small cooperation, the Raptors' scoring efficiency can be improved a lot.
