Some people think that Yang Rui doesn't pay attention to what he says, and it is easy to offend people, but Yang Rui didn't take it to heart and didn't plan to change. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Unless it's a coach like Van Gundy, he'll save some face, and he's not polite to many of the league's veterans.

What's polite? Iverson has a good saying - I don't have to respect and fear anyone!

Yang Rui feels that whether it is basketball, football or olives, in the circle of competitive sports, especially in the circle of coaching, peers are enemies, not that if you are smiling and submissive to your competitors, the other party will like you. They will only look down on you for this, and then happily trample you under your feet.

How can there be no competition in competitive competition?

On January 6, the Raptors' game against the Kings was a battle of coaches.

In Yang Rui's previous life, there was a team that had mercury and a suffocating offensive style of play from 2001 to 2002, which made fans unforgettable, and that was the king!

The Kings have also been strong on offense this season, with Chris Webber and Divac taking the inside game to the extreme under Adelman, Jason Williams "White Chocolate" passing flamboyantly and Peja Stockkovic shooting brilliantly. They let the fans feel the charm and style of basketball!

Princeton's essence does not rely on top-notch scoring ability, but puts playmaking skills first, relying on the whole team to share the ball to play simple basketball, create misplaced offensive opportunities, tear apart opponents' defenses, and conquer the audience with exquisite passes.

Now, Adelman is greatly stimulated because he has been compared to Yang Rui. The Kings didn't get enough attention, and even if they played a beautiful game, the media would just say that "they were a weakened version of the Raptors." ”

As a veteran coach born in 46, Princeton has long been the label of Adelman, and he especially wants to beat the Raptors and prove that King Princeton is the right.

It's a pity that no matter how hard the Kings players run tactics, this King really can't beat the Raptors, and they lost 89-110 without suspense, losing in talent.

Stojakovic is only a second-year rookie and has average athleticism; Divac is a floor-flow center who moves too slowly, and both are weaknesses on the defensive end.

And the Kings only have Webb as a super scorer, which is obviously not enough. Whether it's holding the ball or catching and shooting from the outside, the Kings are inferior to the Raptors.

Point guard "White Chocolate" Williams fell behind Christie, shooting 2-of-11 from the field and 1-of-7 from three-point range, scoring only 5 points and 4 assists.

Kings starting point guard Nick Anderson had a worse performance against Maddy, shooting 1-of-7 from the field, no free throws and no assists, and only had 2 points and 4 rebounds.

The Kings have far less bench depth than the Raptors, and Joan Barry shoots well and has average offensive ability with the ball. If you want to be a super team, a good sixth man is essential. Before the "bench bandits" appeared, they had to lie dormant for two years.

Back-to-back games, the Raptors beat the Hawks 109-95 on the road.

Yang Rui arranged an alternative "touch porcelain" tactic, regardless of the inside attack or the outside breakthrough, more feints, as long as he faces Mutombo, hit him, try to find fouls.

In Yang Rui's previous life, many teams dealt with Yao Ming like this when they played Rockets, and once Yao Ming was troubled by fouls, the Rockets' ability to protect the frame would deteriorate.

Mutombo is a well-known block king in the league, and he likes to give his opponent a big hot pot and then wag his fingers to pretend to be 13, but this time he didn't pretend to be good, and finally committed 6 fouls.

Without Mutombo, the Hawks couldn't stop the impact of the Raptors trident inside, and although the three scored 20+, they still lost.

On January 9, the Raptors played high again, beating the underdog Grizzlies 135-107 at home.

The Grizzlies mainly play the trident of Mike Bibby, Byron Davis, and Raheem, and the data of the three is not bad, the level of role players is too low, and the record is still at the bottom.

Grizzlies management has been busy lately, and owner Michael Hasley has appealed to the NBA league to propose a home relocation plan, just waiting for the president to agree.

In addition, the manager began to seek a trade, Davis and Bibby had to go one, both of whom could only play point guard, so that Davis could come off the bench to affect the development, start together, and overlap positions.

With 32 wins and 1 loss, fans all over the world feel that the Raptors are going to heaven.

On January 11, the Raptors played a bad game, the whole team was lost, and they lost to the Wizards 104-117.

The Raptors didn't take the Wizards seriously at all, and the Wizards, who only scored 11 wins, went crazy this time, and all seven players on the team scored double-doubles. The Raptors also had five players in double figures, with the highest Carter scoring just 19 points.

The back-to-back Raptors lost to the Bucks 104-107 for the first losing streak of the season. A number of players were in a slump, with O'Neal Jr. shooting 4-of-14 and Maddie shooting 1-of-11.

Other teams gradually found a way to deal with the Raptors, the speed of defense should be fast, single defense should be the mainstay, and positional battles when attacking, reducing the number of rounds to ensure the success rate.

Once the position is grinded, the Raptors star will be affected if he can't find his hand, even Curry and Hornacek can't guarantee that every game will be accurate.

The Bucks have started to rise this season, and the four of Kassel, Ray Allen, Glenn Robinson, and Tim Thomas have super offensive firepower on the other team.

Back at home, Yang Rui increased his training, mainly related to the running position of the air cut, and in order to ensure the defensive intensity, let Boykins be a marginal man, giving Curry and Hornacek more playing time.

The two veterans can draw the defense on the offensive end and ensure three-point firepower.

The Raptors lost two games this month, and some people began to say that they lacked stamina, touting the Bulls' 72-win record that could not be broken.

On the 14th, the Raptors fought the Bucks again, and Carter broke out, shooting 20 of 32 from the field, 3 of 3 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and slashing 47 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.

The Raptors made a change on the defensive end, leaving Christie to defend Kassel and Maddy to defend Allen, which worked, and Kassel, who scored 26 points on the court, only scored 12 points this time.

Ray Allen plays mostly without the ball, often covering without the ball with the inside, and Maddie does not lose his height after changing defenses.

Relying on Tim Thomas's 22 points and Robinson's 37 points, the Bucks stubbornly played until the last minute to maintain a tie, Carter hit a key three-pointer, and then the Bucks missed the offense and used foul tactics, and Hornacek made both free throws to seal the victory.

115-110, the Raptors won thrillingly and stopped the decline.

Against the Magic back-to-back, Carter continued to be strong, with 26 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists; Maddy was efficient, shooting 8-of-10 from the field, 4-of-5 from the free-throw line, with 20 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists, with his only two misses coming from beyond the three-point line.

Hornacek also exploded, scoring 23 points, one assist and two steals on 7-of-11 shooting, 5-of-8 three-pointers and 4-of-4 free throws.

After the game, reporters interviewed Yang Rui and asked him to evaluate Hornacek. After Lao Huo arrived at the Raptors, the average number of three-pointers per game and the three-point shooting rate in a single season have set a new career high, and the score has gradually improved, reaching 12.1 points, which is more efficient than when he was with the Jazz.

Yang Rui sighed: "He is one of the most underrated stars in the NBA, if I were to coach him at his peak, I would let him play point guard, be the core of the team, and have unlimited shooting rights." ”

The reporter asked: "Don't you think about strengthening the defense?" ”

"Offense is the best defense, and the Raptors are offense-oriented, and this will not change even if they enter the Finals." Yang Rui replied categorically.
