Chapter 379 [Big Forward Jordan, That's the Effect]
Yang Rui smiled: "Since everyone has no new ideas, then it's up to me to arrange the tactics." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The Nets had defensive weaknesses, so they only managed 60 wins in the regular season. ”
Jordan was anxious and interrupted: "You know they have weaknesses, why don't you arrange targeted tactics when you get on the court?" ”
"Because this is an extreme tactic, I need to discuss it with you, otherwise it will not be able to fight. We'll focus on this in the end. Yang Rui was not in a hurry and explained: "I have seen the data of the Nets losing games, and the strong teams they are most afraid of are the Spurs, Timberwolves, and Kings, who were swept in the regular season. The East lost two games to the Pacers and had a terrible performance. One thing these teams have in common is that they are good at playing on the inside. ”
D'Antoni answered: "We don't have an inside line that is good at strategy." ”
"We have, if the Nets start Aaron Williams, who has a poor offense in the low post, we can defend the box. Boozer bench defense Curry average, defense Williams should be fine. Leitner taught him a lot, he knew how to play high positions, he had a good mid-range shot, and he could cut inside and attack. Yang Rui replied.
Jordan said, "Then why don't you just use Leitner?" ”
"Because Boozer is better at rebounding and he's not the number one player on the inside, we have to start from the wings. Michael, can you guard against Aaron Williams? Yang Rui asked.
"Nonsense, how can that guy compare to me?" Jordan snorted. He doesn't take a blue-collar like Williams seriously at all, even if he is 40 years old and can rank at the top of the league's player power list with his all-round skills.
"Then in the next game, you play power forward and start. If you're defending against Williams and Martin, you can play with the ball. Jackson defends you, and you play the ball to the guy opposite Williams. Yang Rui smiled.
The three of them tasted this tactic for a while, and they all felt that it was tricky.
Aaron Williams is 206CM and weighs only about 100 kg, and is an inside line who plays with flexibility, Jordan is 198CM tall and weighs 100 kg, and he does not suffer a loss against it. In terms of technical characteristics, Jordan is the outside line, and Williams is the standard inside line.
If Jordan is allowed to guard the bottom line, there is no problem in resisting Williams.
Jordan smiled bitterly: "Since you have thought about the inside line strategy for a long time, why don't you arrange such a fight on the court?" ”
Yang Rui shook his head and sighed: "I thought Curry would start on the court, so I wanted to withdraw the empty basket and the guard broke through." Let Boozer start, whether it is Williams or Curry, he can resist alone. We continue to use joint defense, and then we grind the position with the Nets, and this time we will see who grinds whom. ”
Yang Rui's whimsical ideas are endless, and no coach will let Jordan play power forward except for him, but his explanation is reasonable.
D'Antoni and Hornacek now have great admiration for Yang Rui, and listening to your words is better than reading for ten years.
Like Thibodeau, they feel like they have opened up the second line of Ren Du. They are approached by teams to be managers next season and they are confident that they will do well.
Although he lost the first game, Yang Rui saw the opponent's weakness. The new tactics are likely to work, because the Nets rely on Curry and Martin for their low-post offense, Curry has poor blocking and dismantling, and as long as the Nets play small-ball tactics, Jordan can play power forward without worrying about being blown up.
In the afternoon team training, Yang Rui let the players get used to the tactics.
Boozer was a master of high pick-and-rolls in the regular season, like a fish in water; Jordan created an era, what wind and waves he hasn't seen? He can make cameos at point guard, and of course he can play the No. 4 position. He knows what he has to do, he can see his teammates running and get the ball into the right place.
On the evening of May 20, the second battle between the two sides began.
The Wizards' starters are eye-catching. Wesley, Hamilton, Margetty, Jordan, Boozer.
Broadcast live on TN*T radio. Barkley smiled: "The Wizards have changed their formation again, this time it is really a small-ball tactic, and only Boozer is more than 2 meters tall." Margeti often makes guest appearances as power forwards, but rarely starts. He didn't play well, but Jerry Young gave him a lot of credit. ”
"Scott kept Curry off the bench and also played small-ball," Smith said. Curry played 24 minutes on the court, Mutombo didn't play a minute, and the Raptors have had a boom in small-ball tactics in recent years. ”
Nets five: Kidd, Kittels, Jackson, Martin, Aaron Williams.
Byron Scott didn't sit down after saying the tactics, and stood on the sidelines with his hands on his chest with a serious expression. In fact, he was already happy in his heart, fantasizing about eliminating the Wizards and entering the finals, what kind of evaluation the media would give him.
Scott's playing career was going well, after the Lakers' most glorious 80s three consecutive championships, after retiring as an assistant coach for a few years, in 2000 became the head coach of the Nets, and soon the underdog team became the Eastern Conference powerhouse. In his second season, he set multiple firsts in Nets history, was named Coach of the Year, and coached the All-Star Game this season.
Scott usually follows the news and knows what it means to beat the Wizards. Sending Jordan out of the last year of his career and defeating Yang Rui will make more people know him and pay attention to him. As long as he wins the championship this season and the team renews his contract in the future, his annual salary will definitely increase several times.
Now, Scott is one of the lowest-paid coaches in the league, and the Nets owner slammed the door, which made him a little unhappy, but this is the treatment that a new coach should be, and Yang Rui's salary was not high when he first joined the Raptors.
Scott was anxious to prove himself and raise his salary because he wasn't a star when he was a player, and the NBA had low commercial value at that time, and he didn't make much money.
saw Yang Rui on the other side crossing Erlang's legs, stuffing a piece of chocolate into his mouth, and milk tea was still on the chair. Scott thought it was a little funny. "You just pretend, when the Wizards fall behind 0-2, I see if you can pretend when you go back to the home court."
Martin jumped the ball to win and the game began.
Kidd's dribbling organization, facing the equally strong Wesley, can't easily break through with his body.
After observing the opponent's position, Kidd decided that it was a joint defense, dribbled horizontally, and distributed it to Jackson on the side.
In the last game, Jackson had a convulsion, shooting 5 of 9 from three-point range, 9 of 17 overall, and 2 of 2 from the free throw line, scoring 25 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists.
Jackson faced Margety, dribbled a step and relied on his height advantage to make a pull-up jumper, which was very simple and deflected under interference.
Boozer jammed Martin and kept him from rushing away, and Jordan protected the rebound in the backcourt.
The Wizards attacked, Boozer covered Wesley in the middle, Wesley took two steps to the right with the ball, distributed the ball to Boozer in the middle, and then started running without the ball with Hamilton.
Boozer was clear about his mission and attracted Martin to defend and find someone to play against Williams. Jordan was stared at by Jackson on the right side, and Boozer split the ball to Margeti, who ran from the left baseline to the line.
Margeti received the ball and turned to face the frame, Williams was far away, and he didn't shoot at all. Margeti didn't dribble and aimed for a pull-up shot, but Williams was too slow to get off the pitch.
This ball Margeti was well prepared, shot easily, and scored! 2 to 0.
Yang Rui was smiling on the sidelines and very relaxed. Boozer is a guy who plays with his brain, and that's what he wants.
