Van Gundy didn't say a word, thinking wildly, and Yang Rui spoke again. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Info "Jeff, don't hesitate, if you want to attack well, there is no second way to go, you can only change the starting lineup. The point guard has to be changed, and the No. 4 position has to be changed. ”

"You're not going to say Charles on the bench again, are you?" Van Gundy shook his head. Oakley is a symbol of the Knicks' toughness and is one of his favorite players.

"That's right, he's on the bench and it's good for both lineups."

"We're going to start with less defensive intensity, they didn't give it their all in pre-season, and we can win in the regular season." Van Gundy was a little upset.

"You may be able to win, but it's not easy to win, you shouldn't pin your hopes of winning on the fighting spirit of the veteran, Patrick is 35 years old, Charles is 34 years old, Barker is almost 38 years old, and the inside line is aging. Do you let them fight with the youngsters to keep them injury-free during the season? Yang Rui argued, and his tone became cold.

His biggest concern was always injury. No matter how hard a player plays in the regular season, it is also a food delivery to enter the playoffs if he is injured, because there are countless cases of stars being injured and running in the playoffs, which is the most frustrating way to get out.

Van Gundy asked: "If you reduce the playing time of the veterans, how can you guarantee a regular season result?" ”

"When you play a strong team, you play a star, and when you play a weak team, you rotate to train newcomers, and I think Ewing plays about 30 minutes and ensures that efficiency is enough." Yang Rui thinks it's very simple, modeled after Spurs.

In his previous life, the Spurs had not missed the playoffs since they drafted Tim Duncan in 1997 until Duncan retired.

Duncan suffered a serious knee injury in 2000 and was still very efficient until he retired, and the Spurs' strength depended on the rotation of the lineup, and Popovich played to the strengths of each player to ensure that the core was full of physical strength.

Ginobili has never averaged 20+ points per game in his career, averaging a game-high 31.1 minutes per game. If he changes teams, he will definitely have better stats, but it is difficult to still play in the league at the age of 40.

What about Yao Ming? retired at the age of 31, compared with Ginobili, who is more successful than Ginobili, who has no data explosion, can you say that it is Yao Ming?

Van Gundy shook his head again. "Patrick won't say yes to that, the minutes are very short, what stats will he get? How can you prove that you are a superstar without data? ”

Yang Ruizheng said: "I can talk to Patrick and let him play in another way, good data doesn't necessarily mean a score, right?" Grabbing rebounds, responding to offense, there are still statistics. Jeff, I think you should convince others to reduce their playing time and be efficient. If the efficiency drops, it may not be a good thing to play for a long time, especially Larry. ”

Van Gundy smiled. "Then why are you insisting on letting Charles come on the bench? Wouldn't it work to have Larry on the bench? ”

Yang Rui explained: "Because Larry is much more efficient at playing the No. 4 position than at the No. 3 position, his speed is not fast enough to prevent small forwards, and he has an advantage in playing big forwards, with strong strength to resist people, and can break through against big men, and can pull out to shoot, we should use his strengths." ”

Van Gundy couldn't make up his mind, and looked at the other two assistant coaches, neither of whom meant to speak.

This is not the time to flatter the head coach, they both feel that what Yang Rui said makes sense.

Yang Rui added: "What's more, small forwards can shoot three-pointers in the bottom corner to open up space, and Larry will not stay in the bottom corner honestly." If Allan goes to the bottom corner, the misplaced play of the side without the ball will not work. We need a small forward who can shoot. ”

Van Gundy was moved. "You want Chris Mills to start?"

Yang Rui smiled: "I would prefer Bruce Bowen to start, can you agree?" As long as you do this, I promise that there will be unexpected results. ”

"Chris is a player we brought in for 3 million, and you started Bruce? I know he's played summer league with you, he's very aggressive defensively, but he has no experience at all. Van Gundy admired Bowen and would have made him into the 12-man squad, but he didn't expect Yang Ruiti, who likes to attack, to make such a request.

At the Rockets, Van Gundy also admires a white player named Ryan Bowen who has no stats. In the 2005-2006 season, he had 1.3 points and 1.3 rebounds, and started 19 games. Yang Rui felt that he could convince him.

"Bruce was drafted in 1993 and played in the CBA and the French league, but he didn't prove himself in the NBA, and he would shoot open balls in the bottom corner. If we put him on the pitch, he'll be the number one target and the opponent will regret it. ”

Yang Rui was too bold in employing people, but Van Gundy also admitted that it made sense.

"Chris can shoot threes too, so why don't you start him?" Van Gundy asked.

"Bruce is a pseudo-starter, in order to catch the opponent off guard, Chris once averaged 15 points per game, who will let him go to the stars? In the second quarter, Chris stepped up the offense as a small forward, and his presence could make the difference between the bench and the starting strength small. ”

This is a conspiracy, let Bowen deliberately give the other party a point that seems to be empty, and it will be unlucky if it is really empty.

Van Gundy pondered for a full minute, and found that he really couldn't find a reason to refute it.

Chris Mills is characterized by physical fitness, momentum, if he doesn't have the ball, he can't score many points, the starter will definitely not have the ball, it is better to bring a substitute. Bowen, on the other hand, is a man who doesn't need the ball at all, just defense and spot shooting, and he hasn't practiced anything else in the team.

"If you had to convince Charles to come off the bench, what would you say?" Van Gundy asked.

"We're going to win a championship this season, and in order to get there, you're going to have to make some sacrifices, make sure you're healthy and in shape, and the playoffs are when you fight hard." Yang Rui replied.

"Do you think we can win this season?" Van Gundy is actually asking himself this question.

The new season is about to start in earnest, and he is still feeling guilty about his exit last season. If the Knicks weren't reversed by the Heat because of the brawl, would they have a chance to meet the Bulls?

Against the Bulls in the regular season last season, the Knicks did not suffer, with two wins and two losses.

"Of course, as long as you trust me and let me plan the offensive tactics, I can still have the best record in the regular season. I'm not as good as you in experience and defense, but I don't think I'm worse than anyone else when it comes to arranging offense, we work together and kill the Bulls is a piece of cake! Yang Rui said with a smile.

Van Gundy looked at him speechlessly, always with that confident look, as if the difficulty of this matter was as difficult as winning the summer league.

This is not just arrogant, it is completely crazy. In this era that belongs to Michael Jordan, who would dare to say that killing the Bulls is a trivial matter?

Yang Rui dared, but Van Gundy still didn't hate it, because of course he wanted the championship, who wouldn't want it? If his assistant is a submissive one, he is scared of Jordan and treats his opponent as a god, then what kind of game is he playing?

Yang Rui's confidence stimulated Van Gundy's bloodiness, and he decided to change the formation.
