Chapter 153 [Don't Cooperate, Fight for Talent]
Today, the home field was full again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info boss Richard Pedi couldn't afford it, and since there were no particularly high-paid players on the team, he just reached the 30 million salary cap, and he made a lot of money.
The Raptors players received warm applause when they came out, and their popularity increased to varying degrees, and Carter finalized the game, waving to the players with a smile on his face.
Yang Rui knows the reason, Carter finalized the sneaker contract yesterday and signed with Nike for $40 million in five years. The huge advertising money made him super-rich all of a sudden, and Nike immediately began to make exclusive combat boots for him.
Nike's higher offer than Adi is the reason for the win, Adi is reluctant to give Carter a bigger contract, because they signed Kobe Bryant in 96, and only gave Kobe Bryant 10 million for 5 years, although it leads to conflicts in the future, but there is a possibility of renewal in the future. If they sign Carter several times as high, Kobe Bryant will definitely be angry.
As Yang Rui predicted, Carter was favored by advertisers, and he locked in the best rookie before the regular season was over. If he had signed with Puma, he would have cried to death, and the contract would be half as big as it is now.
For this reason, Carter and the new agent are very grateful to Yang Rui, and the good relationship between the star and the coach is a good thing for the team.
After the players warmed up, the starting lineup arranged by Yang Rui was eye-catching. Christie, Maddie, Carter, Detreve, O'Neal Jr., got on four swingers, and the shortest was 198CM tall.
Commentator David exclaimed: "The Raptors didn't play point guard, could it be that Maddie played point guard today?" ”
Clark laughed: "Jerry is starting to experiment with new tricks again, this is playing against the Heat, no one has ever used this kind of lineup." ”
Pat Riley was also surprised, looking at Yang Rui on the opposite side of the court, with mixed feelings.
In 93, Riley made a bold prediction, "The ambiguity of the position on the basketball court will continue to intensify, and basketball will belong to five swing people about 2 meters tall in the future." ”
At the time, he thought that a team of five Pippen would be very strong.
In the future, there will be many teams with four small belts, and it is the first time that four strikers of similar height on the outside line like Yang Rui will appear. Even O'Neal Jr. is not a center, he is suitable for playing power forward, and his confrontation ability is slightly inferior.
If you want to play in such a mode, in addition to requiring the five swingers to have comprehensive skills, you also need an absolute soul core figure to maintain the orderly operation of the team, and when you can't open it, you can rely on your personal ability to ensure the attacking firepower.
In Yang Rui's previous life, this model first appeared not in the NBA, but in the international basketball arena, that is, the American Dream Team with many big-name stars.
After Lao K became the coach of the dream team, until Yang Rui crossed, they only lost one game in ten years, and the five omnipotent outside players worked together to attack and defend without a solution.
The Heat are still a regular starting lineup: Hardaway, Dan Mariel, Mashburn, PJ Brown, Mourning.
Although Riley said that the future will be five swing people, but that is the future after all, he has a say in the management, and he did not build the team according to that model, the division of labor among the players in the Heat team is still very clear, and the point guard is a small man who can break through and organize.
Jumping ball Mourning defeated little O'Neal, Mourning before kidney disease was really a beast, 208CM tall, but with an arm span of 229CM, the bounce is amazing.
The player pulled away, Mourning blocked and dismantled, Hardaway broke through with the ball, O'Neal Jr. immediately changed his defense, Hardaway crossed the ball to the middle, and Mourning couldn't shoot directly, because the person who defended him was Maddie, and his height and arm span were not weak.
Mourning paused, distributed the ball to Marshburn who was running, Carter defended, Marshburn failed to break through with his body, and the emergency stop jump shot relied on his height advantage, the ball popped off the basket, and the rebound was grabbed by O'Neal Jr. retreating.
The Raptors attacked, Christie controlled the ball to the frontcourt, was not fast, relied on his height and arm span to protect the basketball, and used the court space to make Hardaway unable to break.
Maddie receives the ball in the middle, does not cover, and the face frame is a three-point point, and the 198CM tall veteran Dan Marley is 34 years old, and the bounce is not good, and the interference can't even seal the eyes. Maddie's ball arc is very flat, the shot is very positive, and the hit. 3 to 0.
This is a natural misalignment, Yang Rui encouraged Maddie to pull out, but if he wants to shoot, he will shoot three-pointers, or burst close to the basket to shoot, the Magic style of play.
Peak Maddie, chic and elegant, and his famous stunt is this trick to shoot the basket. A normal jump shot relies on jumping with both feet to complete all the movements. Dry pulling, on the other hand, relies more on the waist to exert force. Maddie uses his amazing talent to perform the extreme of this action.
Maddie can pull up in front of any defender before his injury slips down, instead of covering the run to catch the ball and shoot like Ray Allen; You don't have to use a breakaway or lean your back against a defender to make a jumper like Kobe Bryant; Not to mention turning up the arc of the ball like Nash did.
He just needs to jump, and if it's an outside player defending him, there's nothing he can do. His shot was almost parallel to the basket and then he threw it flat to the basket, and everyone waited to hear the sound of his ball smashing into the back of the basket. Of course, it could also be the sound that pops up.
This season, Maddie mainly practiced one point in the middle of the team, and almost did not shoot in other positions, with a certain accuracy, in Yang Rui's system, he does not need to be comprehensive.
The Knicks attacked, Maddie defended in the middle, and this time Hardaway chose to break through directly, using the "killer? crossover", after dribbling the ball under the crotch, the cross-step is crossed.
This is a decoy first step that allows the defender to misjudge the direction of travel, causing the defender to shift their center of gravity and lose their defensive position, thus breaking through to the other side.
However, Hardaway couldn't get rid of Maddie in this step, he put a step and a half away, and the distance was long, making it easier to judge the direction of the breakthrough.
Hardaway made a pull-up jumper, and Maddie was already half a beat slower when he stepped forward, but he was tall and had an amazing arm span, and a light jump also played a distraction role, and Hardaway hit an iron in one step inside the three-point line on the right.
Seeing Maddie's performance, Riley also sighed in his heart: This talent is really amazing, the starting point is much higher than most people, even if he doesn't practice much, he can gain a firm foothold in the NBA with his body.
Carter retreated and grabbed the rebound in the backcourt, and was very active in dribbling himself over the half court, and the Heat players returned to defend quickly, Carter did not rush inside, and pulled up 70 degrees on the right side to shoot three points.
In Yang Rui's previous life, if you want to say which players like to pull out as much as Maddie, the first thing that will come to everyone's mind must be Carter, these two are really cousins, and the bounce is amazing.
Carter was out of rhythm a lot, and before the defenders had left him room to shoot, he jumped straight to shoot and used his aerial leans to dodge blocks.
Marsh himself is 203CM tall and weighs 109 kilograms, which is stronger than Carter, and he knows that his traverse speed is not as fast as Carter, so he withdrew a little back, but he didn't expect Carter to shoot.
Marshburn only had time to stretch out his hand, and with a slight interference, the ball made a beautiful arc and hollowed into the net! 6 to 0.
Riley was on the sidelines, his brow furrowed.
He saw that Yang Rui not only changed the starters this time, but the offensive path was also different from the previous two games, and the players did not cooperate, but they were fighting with the Heat players for talent.
