The Raptors' substitution immediately played a role. This successful fast break shows that facing the Trail Blazers' double towers, at least you can't lose too much in height.

Xue Ding dribbled the ball after halftime and did not immediately give Ade a ball. Now the four big men are very crowded in the interior. Barnicea's height gives Ade pressure on the defensive end to a certain extent. Bosh's flexibility can play a role in quick fixing defense. Passing the ball to the inside is not the first choice.

Facing Jared Jack's defense, Xue Ding accelerated and passed it. Before the Raptors could react, Xue Ding had already entered the inside line. Barnicea realized it was too late and the people had already taken off the air. Under Bosh's gaze, the basketball was smashed into the basket.

The fans at the scene immediately started shouting loudly.

"Xue Ding"

"Xue Ding"

"Xue Ding"

...

The long-awaited Xue Ding-style breakthrough and dunk appeared, which made the fans unable to suppress their enthusiasm.

In the next round, the Raptors' attack, Jarrett gave Barnicea a lob. Ade realized his physical advantage and immediately touched his body. Seeing that his teammate's attack had stalled, Bosh ran to the right to open up the space.

Barnicia quickly passed the ball to Bosh, and Chandler had already followed him. Bosh forced Chandler with his back. Although his body was not very advantageous, his flexible steps allowed Bosh to enter his attack range. He turned left and got rid of Chandler behind him, with his left dunk hand.

After succeeding, Bosh roared to the sky, with a big body and a small head, looking like an angry turtle. Xue Ding forced himself to laugh.

Xue Ding stepped forward and patted the depressed Chandler, comforting him not to care. After ordinary people turned left, even if the defender was thrown away half of his body, the attacker still attacked with his right hand, so he could quickly interfere. However, Bosh's left-handed avoided this and successfully attacked Chandler.

After dribbling through half the game, Xue Ding clearly felt that the Raptors' defense was transferred from the inside to him. It seemed that his breakthrough aroused the opponent's alertness.

At present, he is still leading the score, and he is about to explode. Xue Ding glanced at Tkoglu who was preparing to assist in defense. He easily accelerated to pass Jarrett? Jack and broke through directly to Tkoglu.

Sure enough, Tekoglu moved horizontally and quickly made up for defense. Xue Ding continued to break through in the left direction, attracting the defense. With a wave of his hand behind, the ball floated to the 45° three-point line. Fernandez received the ball and took off, and made an open three-pointer.

There were 2 minutes and 11 seconds left, with a score of 10:25. Prichard quickly replaced the main player, and Old Miller came on the bench with a substitute.

The Raptors also replaced the main force. Although they were behind in the score, they had to give the main force enough rest time and had a complete set of key bench personnel.

The Raptors performed very well on the bench and were young and energetic overall. Under the leadership of Calderon, the Raptors scored a 8:2 climax, narrowing the score gap to 9 points, ending the first quarter at 18:27.

"Xue played very well, and the internal and external lines were connected very well. Ade, you need to be tougher."

"Tyson, don't expand too much, make good interference and keep the three-second zone."

On the bench, Prichard summarized the first quarter game and further rotated personnel, allowing Roy to replace Miller and compete with Calderon on the court.

As a traditional defender, Calderon is good at breaking through and pick-and-roll, with a three-point shooting percentage of 37.2%. The key is that he has a good psychological quality and a big heart. The biggest disadvantage is that his defense is mediocre. With Roy against him, Prichard's intention is obvious, so that Roy, who has a better advantage, can play a suppressing role.

At least you can't let the substitute be beaten too badly by the opponent. The main force scores in the front and the substitute always loses points in the back. This is not a solution.

Roy's biggest problem now is that his speed has dropped a lot. Whether on the offensive or defensive end, facing the opponent's main force, his injured knee can no longer support sudden speed changes, and he cannot run at high speed for a long time, so it has gradually become a very difficult problem for the Trail Blazers.

However, facing the opponent's substitute, his rich experience, although he is slow, his rhythm plays a good role in both offense and defense.

The factual results also proved the success of Prichard's tactics. Under Roy's leadership, the Trail Blazers' substitute faced the Raptors' substitute, and the two sides were evenly matched. The first two minutes of the second quarter reached 8:6, winning enough rest time for their respective players.

The score was 26:33, and the Raptors were 7 points behind. After the official timeout, the main players of both sides appeared again.

On the Trail Blazers, the man in Jim replaced Roy, forming a situation where Xue Ding was single defender.

The Raptors' ball rights, Jared Jack dribbled through the half and handed the ball directly to Tkogru.

The four big guys in the inside were very entangled, and Barnicia did not occupy a good position. Bosh reached out to ask for the ball. Tekoglu first dribbled the ball to the front of Bosh, reached out to the lob, and at the same time he accelerated and cut in.

Bosh made a comeback, and Tkoglu served 45° to the right to catch the ball and hit a mid-range shot.

A simple pass-through and cutting cooperation easily tear open the Trail Blazers' defense line.

The score continued to narrow, and the Raptors fell by 5 points, 28:33.

Xue Ding passed the ball after halftime and did not make any breakthrough immediately. As the only commander on the field, Xue Ding felt that he had considered more things. In the past, he only had to consider the situation of his teammates as a whole.

Fernandez and Jimcomman pulled up the bottom corners on both sides and took away the defender. Adie mentioned the high position, and Bania followed up, and the overall personnel were very open.

Xue Ding accelerated and changed direction without hesitation, throwing away Jared Jack, and without waiting for Barnicia to make up for defense, he made a 45° jump shot from the free throw line.

In the next few rounds, the Raptors' offense also undergoes a big change, and Tkoglu becomes the starting point of the offense and the main offensive scoring point.

With a stable mid-range shot and three-pointers and a good sense of rhythm, Tkoglu connected the Raptors' offenses inside and outside.

On the Trail Blazers, Xue Ding broke through Jarrett and Jack made frequent jump shots.

There are 2 minutes and 15 seconds left, with a score of 44:45. The Raptors scored a 16:10 advantage under the connection of Tkoglu, bringing the score closer.

In the last two minutes, both sides replaced the substitute. Facing the situation where the Raptors were about to catch up on the court, Prichard said nothing. Xue Ding knew very well that this was equivalent to leading the team to attack alone. The head coach's attitude was silent support for him.

In his heart, Xue Ding also knew very well that as a team's brain, if you want to easily create opportunities for your teammates, you must first have a strong threat. So when facing Jarrett's defense, you frequently break through and jump shots, you must first achieve this effect.
