暴龍今天在主場雙延長險勝公鹿,Fred VanVleet出賽31分鐘,11投1中僅得3分,他在季後賽的糟糕表現和暴龍對他的使用遭受到很多質疑。這在賽後繼續成為話題,這整個季後賽即使他表現不佳但卻依然有一定上場時間,15場比賽內,他場均僅得到4分,整體命中率25.6%,完全枉費了球隊每場給他那麼多的上場時間。
I have no idea how Jeremy Lin did not see the court during that double-OT victory for the Raptors. I understand Nick Nurse wanted Fred VanVleet to find his comfort and confidence but playing with five fouls and Lowry out, J-Lin felt like a lock to at least get some minutes. pic.twitter.com/kYm98Z8sbt

賽後,總教練Nick Nurse接受了記者採訪,由於上一場比賽結束,Nurse提到要對陣容做出改變,今天接受採訪他改口說道:「我說要對陣容做出改變並不是要改變我們的先發陣容,只是在比賽開局階段改變一些進攻陣容搭配。」
Nick Nurse: "I said ‘lineup changes' not ‘starting lineup changes.'" Says he changed up a lot of the matchups defensively at the start. Also says Kawhi's defense was the key to the game.

從今天的安排來看,Nurse的確沒有太多改變,一樣兩位主力打滿50分鐘,要不是Kyle Lowry犯滿,恐怕也是相同結果,唯一的改變可能是少用了Serge Ibaka,而用表現不錯的Norman Powell頂替。不過賽後有個消息可能會讓那些質疑暴龍主帥的球迷開心,因為VanVleet眼睛受傷了。

從現場流出的照片來看VanVleet的狀況著實有點慘,根據暴龍隨隊記者Josh Lewenberg得到的消息顯示,VanVleet在最後時刻挨了一拐,導致眼角部位破掉,他的傷口需要縫針來治療。

有球迷看到這一張圖表示,VanVleet的受傷,可能對暴龍是一件好事啊!
