Chapter 124 [Breathing Pain]

It is recognized that the weak team has won two consecutive victories, and Yang Rui has become the focus of media attention again. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This time, the reporters brought up the Knicks. "There are a lot of people who say that the Knicks attacked well last season because of your tactics, and the Knicks offense was weak in the opening game, what do you think?"

"I didn't watch that game, the schedule is so tight, and my team can't do anything, so I don't make any comments." Yang Rui perfunctory.

The reporter asked: "How do you feel about the Raptors winning again?" ”

Yang Rui smiled: "The players are too strong, and even I am famous." Ha ha. ”

No one really thinks it's all the player's credit, and Yang Rui doesn't mind being modest.

The reporter asked: "You only used two games to reinvent the Raptors, a team that has been at the bottom for many years, what is the secret to winning?" ”

"There's no secret, really, if you look at the Raptors every day, you'll see that I'm just yelling at them from the sidelines: Run! Run! Hurry! Like Forrest Gump. ”

The more ordinary Yang Rui said, the more ordinary everyone thinks he is, because when the players are interviewed, they are about to praise him to the sky.

O'Neill Jr. said, "I'm willing to go to great lengths for Jerry, and likewise, he's willing to do anything for us. He's such a good coach. ”

The journalist is curious. "What the hell did Jerry Young do to make you like him so much? Willing to listen to him? ”

O'Neal Jr. thought for a moment and replied, "Because he believed in me, and before in the Trailblazers, they didn't believe that I was capable, and it was a completely different feeling." I used to have a hard time communicating with my coach and teammates. Now, our relationship is transparent and sincere. I can text him, call him, eat with him after practice, talk about basketball, do whatever comes to mind. Jerry is very sincere, and when you get close to him, you will know if he really cares about you. ”

"He knows how to get the most out of me, and the coach used to treat me like a blue-collar worker, so how could I not like him," Maddie said. He's really a great coach. ”

Carter said with a smile: "During the draft, many people said that the Raptors traded Antoine for me and made a stupid decision, but when it came to the Raptors, Jerry told me that I could chase Jordan. Please, if a rookie actor hears the director say that you will definitely become an Oscar winner in the future and are willing to help you improve your acting skills, will you dislike him? ”

The next day, not only the North American media, but also the Chinese media were talking about Yang Rui and the Raptors.

"The Chinese magic coach led the weak team Raptors to win two consecutive games at the beginning and scored high points in a row."

"Jerry Young has said he wants to groom Vince Carter to be the next Jordan."

"The Chinese coach has created another miracle, and the Raptors have the possibility of making the playoffs."

"The Canadian Flyers are out of nowhere, and the Raptors' gorgeous offense has become a major attraction of the shrinking season."

In two consecutive rounds, the NBA's top five balls of the day, the Raptors, were the most brilliant, Carter went out 5 times, and the fast-break 360-degree dunk was shocked. Maddie and O'Neal Jr. also had two wonderful dunks. Of the ten goals in total, seven were created by the Raptors.

There are a number of dunks in the team, and some fans in China suggested that they change their name to the "Flying Dragons" team.

It was also found that the offensive tactics of the Raptors and the Knicks last season were not the same, with less cooperation, generally holding the ball to block and dismantle, and relying on the individual ability of the players to solve the problem.

The Raptors' offensive and defensive conversion speed is terrifying, and there are a lot of individual breakthroughs with the ball, and the three-point shooting mainly comes from the rebound, as well as the cold arrow on the perimeter.

With different playing styles and the same high scores, Yang Rui's coaching ability has been affirmed by fans.

The Raptors returned to Toronto and got two days off, and Yang Rui announced a day off to prepare for the home opener on the 8th, against the Milwaukee Bucks.

On the 7th, the Knicks' game was broadcast live across the country, so Yang Rui and Thomas watched it at home together.

This is the focus of this round, the Knicks played at home against the Heat, the two sides fought hard to defend, and Ewing and Sprewell repeatedly missed shots at the last moment and lost again.

79-83, the Knicks unexpectedly suffered two consecutive defeats.

After Ewing won the regular season MVP, his mentality changed a lot, in the summer, he negotiated with the management as the chairman of the players' union, his mind was not on basketball, and in the end he failed to get a high salary for the superstar, and was suspected of being in a league with the boss, which made him feel bad. During the holidays, Ewing was basically resting and relaxing, and he didn't practice much.

In the new season, Ewing's form has declined, this time he only made 10 of 25 shots, 4 of 7 free throws, and got 24 points, 17 rebounds and 1 assist.

The ball didn't work, the players played in a mess, and Sprewell shot 2-of-12, with only 5 points, 6 rebounds, and no assists.

The audience can see that "Gorilla" and "Madman" are a little wrong, and Van Gundy also let the two be on the court for a long time, and if they don't do anything, the Knicks can only focus on defense.

As a result, Mourning shot 7 of 21 and Hardaway shot 4 of 15, and the Heat core still won the game under the premise that it was guarded as a blacksmith.

Mashburn scored 23 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, beating Sprewell and becoming the key to victory or defeat, and there were people who like to defend sitting on the bench, but Van Gundy just didn't need it, allowing Sprewell to play a full 40 minutes.

If you still play 40 minutes like that, you don't know that Spreville is Van Gundy's own son.

Bruce Bowen, Stephen Jackson, and Chaki Atkins all saw their minutes cut significantly. If a reporter interviews him, maybe they will sing a chorus: "Missing is a pain that breathes, it lives in all corners of my body......"

The media unanimously attacked, and Knicks manager Ernie Grunfeld was depressed, he knew that Yang Rui was very capable, but he didn't expect it to be so important.

If it had been known that as soon as Yang Rui left, the Knicks offense would have returned to the old ways, and Ernie would have kept Yang Rui even if he made the management infame. Now, keeping Van Gundy for the sake of love has become a fatal mistake made by management.

Van Gundy is a defensive coach, and his character is destined to be unable to make bold adjustments and arrange offensive tactics like Yang Rui, and worse, the new assistant coach can't help Van Gundy much.

As soon as Yang Rui left, Van Gundy also turned the Knicks locker room into a "prison", and began the morale-boosting method of putting pressure on the players again.

"We have to defend our title this season, we have no way back!"

"Cheer up, if you lose, think about what the media will say after the game!"

Hearing this kind of words, the players are all burdened with the psychology of wanting to win and being afraid of losing, and the encouragement is counterproductive, and the fact that the players don't pass the ball much between each other is also related to this.

After the game, Van Gundy didn't want to go to the press conference, and the pressure on him was greater than that of the players in front of the media, because he knew that people would definitely compare him to Yang Rui.

Knowing that Yang Rui joined the Raptors, Van Gundy still wanted to wait to see the joke, but he was ruthlessly slapped in the face by reality.
