Chapter 26 [Simple Tasks]
Van Gundy thought Yang Rui would pick John Starks, the league's best sixth man, who is outstanding and good at mid-to-long-range shooting. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
As a result, Yang Rui only selected Charlie Ward, a backup point guard from last season, and Buck Williams, a 38-year-old veteran who is about to retire and a 203CM insider.
Van Gundy's brows furrowed even tighter, and he felt very uncomfortable.
What does he mean by that? Deliberately let me? Do you want a starter, or a role player from last season, and then bring in a bunch of unruly benches to win the core of my men?
Okay, since you're trying to make a fool of yourself, I'm going to find someone to keep a score, win by 30 points, and let you know the gap between NBA teams and Summer League!
If he hears Van Gundy's heart, Yang Rui will definitely despise him, as a defensive coach, this guy thinks that winning 30 points is a big victory, and the ultimate humiliation.
In the 21st century, the pace of the game is very fast, and it is all too common to win 30 or 40 points.
Yang Rui walked to Thibodeau's side. "Tom, we're going to have a game with Jeff, go get the players here."
"Is this also a test? Who is on our team? ”
Yang Rui shouted eight names on the sidelines. "Guys, put on the red vests, we're a team."
The five Summer League players are happy and eager to give it a try, having worked with Yang Rui and knowing that the coach will arrange the right tactics to help them play to their strengths. They are all system players, and it is definitely not okay to play randomly.
Alan Houston's heart was desolate.
What's going on? Do you want him to play sixth man with a substitute in the new season?
If not, there's no reason to put him on the same team as these fringe guys, but he played really well in the playoffs last season.
Yang Rui walked up to Houston and said with a smile: "Alan, it's up to you to attack in a while." I proposed to Jeff that the new season use you as the core of the outside to arrange offensive tactics, and let you take the bench here is a test, and how much ball possession you get depends on what you can do with these newcomers. ”
"Huh?" Houston was stunned for a moment, this was the span of what he thought he was going to be fired, but as a result, he was promoted and raised.
"What, you don't have faith? I'm very optimistic about you. ”
"No, I was just a little surprised." Houston laughed. This is the opportunity he was waiting for, Ewing is getting older and the team needs a new core.
"Assemble everyone." Yang Rui clapped his hands and announced loudly: "Starting Ben Wallace, Charlie Ward, Alan Houston, Buck Williams, Bruce Bowen." ”
Jackson has good personal ability, after all, he is only 18 years old, and the summer league has exposed a lot of problems. He's prone to hot-headedness, and so is Atkins. The two of them can steal points with substitutes, and they need experienced people to start.
Yang Rui's tactics are the same as in the summer league, the perimeter is responsible for the cover has become the veteran Williams, the main offensive is Houston, Ward's solid passing has been verified last season, the middle is organized with the ball, the two blue-collar tasks are defensive, and the offensive position is fixed.
It's just that there is no ball cover on the side, which is very simple, and everyone understands it as soon as it is said, as long as you are not a fool, you can execute it.
Good coaches are actually good at arranging simple and effective tactics, such as Popovich and Phil Jackson, using skilled simple coordination to defeat the opponent, so there are not many timeouts, and players are often allowed to adjust themselves on the court.
Coaches who don't enter the stream will make the tactics very complicated, constantly test the players' ball quotient, and no matter whether this group of people can understand or not, they spend time on running-in, but ignore what the players' own strengths are.
This kind of coach is actually not much different from a veteran fan, and it would be hellish to win.
Yang Rui is a smart person and understands the future prospects of the players, so the main goal of his tactics is to give full play to the players' strengths.
Bowen doesn't have to cut the bottom line, Big Ben doesn't have to pull out, Ward reduces the number of shots, and with their individual ability, the coach is to arrange tactics to let them run a rose route on the court, and they can't score a few points.
Yang Rui emphasized: "If you can shoot three points, don't shoot two points, and then burst in if you are misplaced." Buck doesn't have to go into the penalty area, Ben is active in the low post, responsible for grabbing the rebound in the front court, and quickly returning to defense if he can't grab the ball! ”
"Stabilize after grabbing the rebound, positional battle, hand it over to Alan to play, newcomers don't be nervous, you are capable, very strong! Buck, Patrick handed you a single defense, come on! ”
Williams is 203CM tall and suffers from his size, but he and Ewing know each other and each other, which is better than letting Moore go, which is why Yang Rui wants him.
On the other side, Van Gundy arranged the main tactics of last season, Ewing pulled to the corner position to receive the ball and heads-up, Johnson cut to the side, and the others looked for opportunities on the periphery.
There are two advantages to playing like this, one is that it is not easy to mess up, it opens the heads-up, and after passing to Ewing, you can stand on the pile and wait for the return pass, Ewing attracts the bag and clip and passes, and no one plays with the clip.
The second is that the core data is very beautiful, and at the same time, everyone saves physical strength and can stay on the defensive end and work hard.
To put it bluntly, the Knicks have no offensive tactics and rely on the individual ability of the stars to solve problems. Stars playing under Van Gundy are easy to produce data, and they must also be mentally prepared to die of exhaustion and practice.
This is also the reason why Yang Rui must praise Houston on the throne. In his previous life, Ewing was reimbursed for serious injuries in the regular season, and without gorillas, it was doubly difficult to take out the Bulls in the playoffs.
Five players on the white team: Childes, Mills, Johnson, Oakley, Ewing.
Of the four starters from last season, Mills is also good when he first arrived, and he will certainly be an important part of the rotation in the new season.
In the audience, Hunter was very far forward, but it was still difficult to get an autograph, so he could only shout and cheer for Houston.
Jill asked, "How did Houston get on the red team?" Isn't that a substitute over there? ”
"I don't know, maybe the RED team will win." Hunter laughed. When the game is over, he will be able to get his signed jersey and he will be in a good mood.
The two sides stood in the middle of the court, with trainer Chris Jogle making a cameo appearance as a referee to record the score, and another assistant coach, Billy Scharman, was by Van Gundy's side to help with advice.
The game was very formal, and Van Gundy felt that Yang Rui was capable, but his personality was too arrogant, and his results were easy to inflate, so he planned to teach him a good lesson.
It's just that there is nothing to be proud of in winning all the summer leagues, and he wants Yang Rui to know that NBA coaches are not spiritual, and they can do a good job if they are smart.
The basketball is thrown into the air, and the newcomer immediately surprises people.
Ben Wallace's official body side data is terrifying, with a 218CM arm span and a maximum bounce of 105CM, which makes up for the lack of height. He flew up like a spring, and the jump ball beat Ewing and tossed into the hands of Houston on the side.
Houston rushed forward with the ball quickly, and the left side was one step away from the three-point line, and suddenly made a sudden stop jump shot. Mills dropped too far back and the line was unsteady, so it was a good opportunity.
Houston jumped high, shot higher, and had a textbook elegant posture, the ball made a perfect arc and hollowed into the net! 3 to 0.
"Cool!" Hunter shouted, standing up and applauding along with a lot of fans.
Van Gundy chuckled in his heart, this was simply a disgrace to him.
