Yang Rui is satisfied with the current situation of the team, taking five important rotations, and the replacement is also good, but there is one less All-Star swingman. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The Raptors still have the ability to compete for a championship, with four of the team's five potential stars, and young Reed and healthy Halprin are not vegetarians.

After a year of training, Jumaine Jones has also improved slightly, and playing the No. 3 or No. 4 position can help the team.

The Raptors' biggest advantage last season was also the ability to shoot from a distance and pull off inside. The outside players can all shoot three-pointers, the most inaccurate Haprin, the mid-range shot is also good, and the offensive end has no problem playing last season's tactics at all.

The only downside is that as soon as Christie leaves, there is a lack of a defensive striker on the outside. Halprin is good at close defense and fierce against the counter, but he is suitable for defensive forwards and suffers against fast-paced defenders.

Yang Rui did not force Christie to stay, because he knew that Andrei Kirilenko would join next season, he was also a defensive strongman, and "AK47" was more comprehensive, and Christie's position would be awkward at that time, which was equivalent to leaving an outside blue-collar with a premium long-term contract, but he would not have much playing time, and it would also affect the renewal of the core contract in the future.

Yang Rui and others were ready to leave when their contracts expired in 2002, and he had a good relationship with his boss Richard Peddy and manager Glenn Groved, so he considered the problem very comprehensively, and he couldn't leave by himself at that time, leaving a bunch of team hidden dangers to his friends, which would be too unkind.

Several players travelled to Toronto to complete medical exams, officially sign contracts, and hold a press conference to show off their new jerseys.

"I'm excited to be part of the Raptors, I've played in the Finals three times as a role player and won a championship in both of them, and I know what to do on the team," Mario Elie said. ”

Halprin was a little excited. "I was very happy when I heard the deal, my ankle was completely healed, I will not disappoint the coach and the fans in the new season, and I will contribute to the team's title defense."

Reed is not used to facing the camera, acting a little shy, smiling stiffly, and always blinking.

Yang Rui came to the scene to welcome the newcomer, and watched his brain open on the side, and always felt that this product would suddenly jump on the table, scratch his face, suddenly turn into a monkey, and said with a smile: "My grandson is going!" And then he was a hundred and eight thousand miles away.

The reporter asked: "Jerry Young is best known for training rookies, are you confident that you will become a star in the future?" ”

Reid scratched his head and smiled, "I'll do whatever the coach tells me to do." It's too far away to be a star, of course...... I hope so. ”

"What's it like to join the Raptors?"

"I think it must be God's will, he heard my prayers, and the team I most want to be on is the Raptors." Reid smiled. He was a devout Christian, kind-hearted, and often donated money to the church, believing that his efforts were rewarded.

Because he is not famous, the media does not pay much attention to Mark Jackson.

He only said a few words, saying that he would work hard to complete the tasks assigned by the coach and strive to integrate into the team as soon as possible. He would be content if he could be a marginal man, but he was afraid that he would be cut after the preseason.

Yang Rui was also interviewed.

The reporter asked: "Jerry, are you disappointed that the Raptors didn't bring in stars in the summer and left two big players?" Will the team be able to defend their title next season? ”

"The Raptors are weaker than last season, but I'm still confident that I can lead the team to win the championship. The weak strength is compared to the Raptors, who won 74 games last season, compared to other teams, we are still super strong! ”

The reporter asked: "Who do you fancy among these players?" ”

"It's all very promising. Mario is experienced, Mark Jackson is very strong, and Matt Halplin is well-rounded and balanced offensively and defensively. Finally, there's Michael Reed, who is a must-have rookie that I proposed, and I will reuse him and let him compete for the best rookie of the season! ”

The reporters are happy, and Yang Rui is going to make big news again.

Reed is outside of the Little Green House, and the draft prediction is at most the last few in the first round, and he can't make it into the top 20, so it's too difficult to compete for the best rookie.

The reporter asked, "Why are you so optimistic about Reed?" ”

"Because he's a good fit for the Raptors' system, he's going to have to be ready and get a lot of minutes for sure."

Reed was smiling from ear to ear, what rookie wouldn't want to be the rookie of the best?

The reporter asked: "The Lakers brought in two more stars in the summer, and their strength has been greatly improved, but Christie, who is good at defending Kobe, is gone, and many people feel that the Lakers' strength has surpassed the Raptors." What do you think? ”

"I think you can use the shark slashing tactic in the new season, and I'll let O'Neill take enough penalties." Yang Rui smiled: "Which team is strong, we will know when we fight." ”

The reporters were very satisfied with this answer, satirizing O'Neal's free throws, full of gimmicks, and Yang Rui stole the limelight from the players again.

Lakers stars and coaches have also been interviewed before, and all of them have kept a low profile. No matter what the outside world says about the "Big Three", "F4", and "Invincible Lineup", they don't shout the slogan of winning the championship.

Now the biggest difference between the Lakers and the Raptors is that the Raptors are flamboyant, standing on the cusp of the waves and letting the strong slap them, while the Lakers are only ready to give people a knife in secret.

has been swept for years, and the Lakers dare not say big things, otherwise they will wait to be ridiculed if they can't win.

is low-key, there is no big news to dig up, and reporters prefer coaches like Yang Rui. "Big Mouth" is likely to make the team a public enemy of the league, but that's how the Raptors came over last season, and he's not afraid.

After the press conference, Yang Rui invited several newcomers to dinner together.

This flattered the newcomers, and the coaches of other teams rarely eat with the players, which is an unspoken rule of the NBA, Yang Rui didn't care about this, and called Thibodeau and D'Antoni as two assistant coaches.

During the meal, everyone left each other's contact information, including the Minion number, so that the mailbox and group are integrated, and the meeting in the future does not have to be in the stadium, and they will go home after training and discuss in the group.

Everyone thinks it's a novelty, other teams don't have it, even Doug Rivers of the Magic team, who was the first time as a head coach last season, tries to show majesty, establish a serious image, and will not engage in any online discussions.

Yang Rui has no special requirements for holiday training, let them take the time to practice shooting by themselves, everyone strives to reach the three-point line outside the three-point line, and at least the inside line must be sure of high-level mid-range shooting.

Before leaving, Reed chatted with Yang Rui alone: "Coach, you said that I will compete for the best rookie in the new season, is it true?" Is there anything I should pay attention to? ”

"Of course it's true, I'll consider starting you as a number two in the new season. You have to pay attention to the fact that the person in charge of the offense with the ball on the team is Carter, your job is to catch the ball and shoot and score, the ball is in your hand to finish the offense, and you don't have to watch your teammates run too much, I need you to be a consistent shooter, you better 60% of your shots are three-pointers, at least half. ”

"I'll be able to do it." Reid has the confidence to transform into a pitcher.

"Don't think about breaking through with the ball, attacking the basket or something, unless it's a misalignment on the counter-attack, it's not your job, I'll give you cover, run when the time comes, Alan Houston is where you're going, you can study more of his game footage."

"Okay, I'll study it when I get back."
