Chapter 359 [A Shortcut, Star Weekend]

On January 11, the Wizards fought back-to-back games and finally won the Knicks once on the road. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Yesterday the Knicks beat the 76ers 114-112, and the two sides fought very closely. Knicks coach Larry Brown and his old club both seem to want to keep each other out of their seats, and they do everything they can to fight until they get bored.

Even so, against the Wizards, Brown only gave Yao Ming 15 minutes to perform.

He is a coach who is not good at using rookies, the tactical style of play is defensive first, the tactical system is too mechanical, the roles and functions of each person are extremely clear, and it is almost impossible to arrange tactics around a rookie.

When Yao Ming appeared, Yang Rui arranged for Boozer to play against him. In order to win, he was not polite.

Boozer is 20CM shorter than Yao Ming, he takes the ball in a high position, Yao Ming doesn't shoot, and when he defends it, he uses flexibility and footwork to break through. Short has the advantage of being short, just like letting James defend against Barria, it will still be very difficult. Yao Ming, as a high school striker, is suitable for joint defense tactics, and it is difficult for him to mark people.

Boozer scored 16 points and 7 rebounds in this game, Yao Ming only had 8 points and 4 rebounds, and when the two are compared, there will definitely be many media saying that Yao Ming's strength is not good.

The Wizards get two days off before playing the Raptors at home.

Yang Rui paid attention to the combination of work and rest, gave the team a day off, and everyone went out to play together on the bus.

They first had dinner at a famous restaurant in Washington, and then went to a famous entertainment club in Washington. You can play bowling, large game consoles, KTV, chess and card rooms.

Yang Rui has always believed that joy is the best tactic, if the players are always nervous, they can't play chic.

After relaxing, the Wizards players played well, and it was only on the 22nd that they lost to the Hornets, ending their winning streak.

On the 25th, the Wizards lost to the Timberwolves again, and the star small forward Szczebiak returned, and the Timberwolves improved.

At the end of the month, the Wizards defeated the Bucks to surpass the Bulls for second place in the East with a 33-14 record, just two games behind the Nets.

The Bulls have suffered from injuries, with bench interior Marcus Fetzer being reimbursed for the season due to a shoulder injury, and Brand without a good bench, and his record has declined. The Bulls didn't have enough depth on the inside, and the failure to dig into Donyer Marshall in the summer left a hidden problem, and the absence of a role player directly affected the team's tactical arrangement and player rotation.

The Wizards' excellent record is because Yang Rui came up with a shortcut, so that the cooperation between the players gradually has a tacit understanding.

The team runs six tactics in each game, and has practiced all the tactics on the training camp materials. Yang Rui asked the scouts to collect the team's game videos at any time, and edit and categorize the correct tactics.

Then, he asked the players to watch how they ran in the video against the tactics, looking for strengths and weaknesses, and everyone watched their own tactical videos to strengthen their memory.

Although there is a difference between watching the video and actually taking action, at least everyone understands what they have to do, and from the audience's point of view, the overall cooperation is broadened, and mistakes can be found. This is in line with the old Chinese saying, the bystander is clear.

In his previous life, he managed the website, and his colleagues were responsible for editing the wonderful cooperation of the NBA teams, and with the tactical instructions for the fans, it was a very popular small section, and he was inspired by this.

In the NBA, of course, there are coaches who arrange tactics mechanically, but they are not as detailed as Yang Rui, and this kind of coach is generally called "academic". Jerry learned this in the five-star training camp back then, and after the memories of the two lives are fused, he can make innovations.

Entering February, the Wizards defeated the Hornets and Cavaliers at home and ushered in the Atlanta All-Star Weekend.

The starting and substitute lineups for the All-Star Game have been chosen.

Eastern starters: Carter (Raptors), Jordan (Wizards), Maddy, Brand (Bulls), Ben Wallace (Knicks).

Seven substitutes: Iverson (76ers), Brad Miller (Pacers), Jason Kidd (Nets), Alan Houston (Pistons), Paul Pierce (Celtics), Amare Stoudemire (Wizards), Steve Francis (Hornets).

The personnel list has changed from Yang Rui's previous life, Houston has become the representative of the Pistons, and the Eastern outside star is super popular, and Iverson can only be substituted.

The Wizards are second in the East, Jordan's popularity has increased, and there has been no tragic scene where the votes are lower than Ben Wallace, and Carter is no longer needed to give up the starter. In Yang Rui's previous life, when introducing personnel, Carter was booed wildly for this, and Jordan finally made his debut, and he would not feel embarrassed for this.

Maddy and Brand shared the ball, took fewer shots, and averaged 26.4 points, 5.3 rebounds and 5 assists per game, surpassing Carter in popularity for the first time in their careers and becoming the Eastern Conference ticket king.

Due to O'Neal Jr.'s joining the Suns and the lack of star power forwards in the East, Brand steadily cut 20+10, increased his popularity a lot, and became a starter.

Stadamire became a substitute because of the team's record and the style of play that attracted fans, and he was selected as an All-Star in his rookie season, and the league showed that it wanted to praise him. "Little Overlord" has this charm, in Yang Rui's previous life, he was not only selected for the best team for a while, but also ranked among the best in terms of annual income and commercial value.

Yao Ming received a lot of votes, but was overtaken at the last moment and failed to become the starter. Yang Rui felt that the league was tired of playing from it, otherwise Chinese fans voted enthusiastically, how could Yao Ming's popularity be comparable to Ben Wallace? Even if Big Ben is a starter in New York, it doesn't work.

Jason Terry became a star game legacy, his stats were good, still at home, but the team's record was not good, and he was not selected.

In addition, there is Antoine Walker of the Celtics, who also averages 20+10 per game, but the team will struggle to make the playoffs this season.

The Eastern coach is Byron Scott of the Nets.

Western starters: O'Neal, Kobe Bryant (Lakers), Nash (Mavericks), Garnett (Timberwolves), Duncan (Spurs).

Seven subs: Nowitzki (Mavericks), O'Neal Jr., Marbury, Marion (Suns), Stojakovic (Kings), Payton (Supersonics), Antoine Jamison (Warriors).

The Suns are ranked fourth in the West, and O'Neal Jr. rose early after joining, and played beautifully, with three selected. The Suns also have a strongman of Joe Johnson at the No. 2 position, and Anfernee Hardaway as a "penny" off the bench, and it is recognized that the Suns have a strong roster and are a big dark horse this season.

O'Neal returned in January, and the Lakers finished 10th in the West with a 19-28 record, and still had two players selected to start, showing strong popularity.

If O'Neal doesn't start center, fans won't know who to choose. And Kobe Bryant conquered the fans with 9 consecutive 40+ performances, making the boos at Staples Arena turn into applause again. Although the Lakers' record was ugly without the fat man, many fans on the Internet believed that Kobe surpassed O'Fat to become the number one star of the Lakers.

The most attractive thing for fans is always the super scorer, it has nothing to do with whether you understand the ball or not, who doesn't like to watch soaring scores, personal heroism?

At present, Kobe Bryant is averaging 30.8 points per game, and Iverson, who ranks second, only has 27 points. Relying on soaring points, Kobe Bryant also became the star ticket king for the first time in his career.

Karl Malone was not selected as an All-Star, and this time the Jazz will definitely miss the playoffs, and Malone will make a decision in the summer whether to retire or leave the Jazz and hold his legs to challenge for the championship at the end of his career.

The coach in the West is the old Nelson of the Mavericks.
