Chapter Twenty-Eight: Bloody Basketball
"Very good, don't be afraid, he scores mainly jump shots, and he has Ben to help defend inside. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info you have the advantage, the speed is much faster. The five of you defend the same as before, shrink, grab the rebound and immediately launch a fast break, try to burst to the basket to score, don't waste shots. If the opponent is quick to defend, Ben pulls out to cover, completely withdraws the basket, and shoots from the perimeter. Remember, you are powerful! ”
"Yes, Coach!" Four young people shouted together.
Houston didn't shout, but he was suppressed.
The tactics arranged by Yang Rui seem to be very casual, and it takes a lot of courage to fight like this. Let a newcomer play power forward? And is it to defend Ewing? The average coach wouldn't do that.
Yang Rui knows Jackson's character, brave, wild, and will never be afraid of confrontation, playing hot-blooded basketball.
The 18-year-old Jackson is already very strong, Yang Rui was surprised when he saw him in the summer, and when he asked later, he learned that this is the power of the gang, he followed a group of underworld people to eat and drink spicy food, and the nutrition can keep up.
Having nutrition wasn't enough, Jackson grew up in a small town surrounded by prisons, where violence was the most common way to resolve disputes. Ask him what weapon he likes best, and he might say it's nunchucks, soft and rigid......
Yang Rui likes this guy, and he will be reused in the summer league, if he gets rid of some bad habits and doesn't waste his money, Jackson will definitely become a star in the future.
In Yang Rui's previous life, Jackson averaged 20+ points per game in three seasons, and averaged 20.7 points, 5.1 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.5 steals per game in his peak season. He has both offense and defense, and he has not been selected for the star game, largely because of his personality, which is not likable.
Van Gundy was also taken aback when he saw Yang Rui's substitution, only one inside line was left, and he was still in his early two meters, isn't it too amateurish to use people like this?
Moreover, the red team is full of newcomers to the summer league, and there is an experienced player in Houston. Van Gundy felt that Yang Rui was looking for abuse.
At the start of the game, Atkins dribbled to the front court, the formation was fully stretched, Wallace gave Houston off-ball cover on the left side, and Atkins passed.
Poor organizational skills are not a problem, this kind of passing to find a regular teammate can be done by a professional player. Atkins passes the ball and runs away into the left corner.
Oakley switched defenses in time, and Houston immediately passed the ball to Jackson, who was also pulled outside the three-point line on the right side.
It was Ewing in the defense of Jackson, a natural dislocation. Ewing is almost twice as old as Jackson and much slower, and he is used to guarding the penalty area, waiting for his opponent to break through in the horn position, but he can't defend it.
Jackson received the ball and made a near-open three-point jumper, without any pressure, and the ball went in. 8 to 4.
Jackson doesn't shoot badly and is an all-around fighter, otherwise he wouldn't have entered the draft after graduating from high school. If it weren't for the background dragging, the sun would have left him behind.
The Suns announced his situation, and other teams were worried that he was a problem player and did not consider it, which was picked up by the Knicks.
Van Gundy swallowed and spit, his heart was beating wildly, he didn't think that his team would fall behind, Yang Rui didn't play according to the routine, and Ewing became a weakness in the defensive gate.
On the sidelines, general manager Ernie Grunfeld stood up and applauded vigorously, and the young player played as soon as he came on the field, showing Yang Rui's excellent on-the-spot adaptability.
The white team attacked, Ewing saw that it was Jackson who defended himself, wanted to return one, went to the left side of the deep position into the penalty area, took the ball and leaned in, turned around and hooked his hand.
Ben Wallace let go of Oakley's defense and came out from behind Ewing.
Ewing underestimated the young man's bounce speed, and as soon as the ball left his hand, it was rubbed by Big Ben's fingers, which was considered a block, and the ball did not bounce far.
The young man's explosive advantage was brought into play again, Jackson and Oakley started together, the former took half a step more, won the basketball and accelerated to the frontcourt, and threw off Oakley.
The two inside guards were slow, and the front court formed a 3-on-2, Childs let go of Atkins to supplement the middle, and he showed great courage in the face of someone taller than him, and then he was egged, Jackson gave the ball to the side, and Atkins hit a three-point shot from a 70-degree vacancy on the left side.
11-4, after a timeout, the red team hit two three-pointers in a row!
The opponent played a wave, and Van Gundy did not call a timeout.
The difference between coaches is revealed, Yang Rui's first consideration is how to attack the opponent's defensive weaknesses and give full play to the strengths of his own players, while Van Gundy is now thinking about defense, the face of the star, and the proof of his basketball philosophy.
If the idea is wrong, it's embarrassing. He would rather believe that the veterans can beat the newcomers with their ability when they are serious, rather than think about the tactical roots.
Ewing asked for the ball again and went heads-up, and the rabbit on the right side jumped around and jumped, but Jackson couldn't cover it, slightly interfering with the shot.
Ewing must have been sitting and hitting the basket when he was young, and the threat of the big Ben defense made him choose the jump shot, the offensive method was too simple, and the rest was too average, and the ball deflected off the basket.
Big Benka grabbed the rebound on the left side and landed on the ground for nearby Houston, who passed to Atkins.
Atkins quickly pushed forward to pass the ball, and Jackson once again used his speed advantage to shake off Ewing and receive the ball in the middle and go straight to the basket.
In the 2006-2007 season, Jackson defended Nowitzki and led the Warriors to create the Black Eight Miracle. He runs in a weird way, almost always in small steps, is very frequent, has a bit of a loss of speed when playing point guard, and is definitely the best in the league in cameo power forward.
This time Starks let go of Bowen's defense, Jackson ran to split the ball, Bowen got an empty space in the bottom corner of the right side, took aim and shot, and went in again! 14 to 4.
After playing the summer league, Bowen didn't do anything else at home, but practiced three points in the bottom corner, and made significant progress according to Yang Rui's requirements.
Bowen lacks offensive ability with the ball, and his fixed-point shooting is quite reliable. In Yang Rui's previous life, Bowen shot 46.4% from three-point range with the Heat in 99 years, and he could score one per game. He was equally consistent from beyond the three-point line with the Spurs, shooting 39.3 percent from three-point range in his career.
Van Gundy didn't call a timeout yet, and the fans were talking about it, and the people on the red team couldn't be named except for Houston.
"Am I dreaming? Is the red team really just a bunch of substitutes? ”
"The offense is too strong, and no one wanted those people in the summer league before, and the scouts are blind, right?"
"I'm going to kill Buddy, if it weren't for that idiot, Jerry Young might be the coach of our varsity team." A well-mannered old man with glasses told his companion depressedly that he was the leader of a certain university in New York, and Jerry had gone for an interview.
Glenn Walsh sat next to Ernie and sighed: "I think the team signed a short contract with this kid, and he should have signed it for three years. ”
Ernie shook his head: "Wasn't you the one who was most opposed to signing him before?" ”
Van Gundy was stunned, he wanted to see the newcomers play well and the team had more people available, but not that way. In an open training session, a group of rookies led the starters he led by a big score, which was too embarrassing.
What's even more depressing is that he proposed to split into two teams to play a game, and he is the one who keeps the score, isn't it uncomfortable?
If he calls a timeout, it is equivalent to being beaten and forced to pause; Without calling a timeout, he didn't know if the veterans would be able to withstand it.
