Before the training camp opened, the Raptors attracted everyone's attention with their remarks, and Yang Rui and Carter divided the news headlines of major media. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yang Rui indicated two important things, one is that the Raptors want to compete for the championship in the new season, and the other is to use offense to blow up the whole league.

Carter made it clear that he wanted to compete for the MVP of the regular season and participate in the slam dunk contest. It's all a manifesto for growing popularity. If the player doesn't win the dunk king, how can he succeed Jordan?

Among the popular teams, only the Raptors shouted the slogan of winning the championship and became the public enemy of the league for a while. Other strong teams want them to look good, and the media around the world are also waiting to see the excitement.

Chinese media said: Yang Rui is still too young, this is purely hatred for no reason, which is very bad.

There are also media examples of the Spurs. Popovich said it was luck when he won the championship, but this time he didn't mention defending the title at all, and said that the team didn't have any advantages.

The Lakers have been swept for two consecutive years, the players and management are very honest, and the "Zen Master" Jackson mentioned the new season and only said that he would try his best to help Kobe, O'Neal, and Rice play their strengths.

The Knicks have gone several times, their strength has dropped compared to last season, and they are more low-key, and Van Gundy continues to be the coach with many fans who are not satisfied, even the "madman" Sprewell does not dare to talk nonsense.

Looking at Yang Rui's unpleasant Oran multimedia, he fired directly. "In the shortened season, the Raptors relied on a group of newcomers to fight quickly and fight with veterans, and they were lucky to reach the Eastern Conference Finals. In a normal season, their fast-break tactics are difficult to play. Jerry Young is so inflated, he really thinks that he is a master tactician who can lead a group of young people to win the championship? ”

ESPN columnist Nicholas said: "Whether it's the Bulls, Knicks or Spurs, it's all defense-oriented to win championships, and Jerry Young clearly has too much desire to attack. ”

In any case, Yang Rui's words attracted fans, attracted the media, and even attracted the attention of league officials.

David Stern is very happy to see the news, he is also Jordan's successor, and Carter is currently much more competitive than Kobe, Iverson, and Hill, which is too worthy of popularity.

Kobe Bryant's style of play is beautiful, but he is only the second leader in the Lakers, how can Jordan's successor be the second in the team? So even if the Lakers win the championship, Kobe Bryant will not be able to succeed smoothly.

Iverson and Hill both led the team to the first round of the playoffs, and although their popularity was high, their records were not convincing.

Carter is different, if the Raptors succeed in the new season, they will immediately attract fans to come back to watch the game and increase the NBA ratings. He's an outside star with an even more flashy style than Jordan.

Stern called a meeting, scheduled the most national live broadcasts for the Raptors in the new season, and gave some preferential treatment on the bracket.

It's hard to see such a secret fan, the opponent is still those, but if you don't go back-to-back when playing a strong team, it will be beneficial to the Raptors.

The Lakers have the second-most live streams, also because of the league's popularity. Although the Spurs and Trail Blazers are strong, there are not many live broadcasts, the former is because the star data is too poor, and the latter is ugly.

The Eastern Heat is only ranked tenth in the number of live broadcasts, which is still because the Heat's strength is not bad, and it will be better to play against other strong teams, otherwise Stern would not want to see them.

The Raptors' open training session was packed to the ground.

The old arena has not been retired, and after the preseason, it will be abandoned and the Raptors will move to the Air Canada Center arena for the regular season opener.

In his speech, owner Richard Peddy thanked Yang Rui for everything he brought to the Raptors, who are now really rising and making a lot of money.

In the audience, there were Chinese female fans holding support signs with Chinese proposing to Yang Rui, which shows how popular he is in the city.

However, in the training match, Yang Rui chose to be lazy and let Thibodeau and D'Antoni each lead a team to compete.

Two people pick one player each until 15 are divided into two groups.

Thibodeau has worked with Yang Rui for two years, and he also has some attainments in offensive tactics and is full of confidence, so let D'Antoni choose first.

D'Antoni, who had a big belly, didn't ask for Carter, the first chose O'Neal Jr., the second chose Maddy, the third was Christie, then Detref, and the fifth chose Curry.

Three substitutes, he selected Jumaine Jones, Jerome James and Earl Boykins.

Thibodeau's blue team seemed to have a better lineup, but they lost the matchup, and the margin was not small, 132-111.

D'Antoni arranged a strategy of fast breaking, with the whole team running and a steady three-point shooting point on the outside. When Thibodeau lets players attack the basket, Jerome can also resist Cato.

Boykins had 27 points and 8 assists, and his performance surprised everyone, and he could shoot everything inside and outside.

The only thing that is not strange is Yang Rui, Boykins breaks through sharply, and the shooting is scary. Even in 2010, he led the Bucks to beat the Lakers off the bench, and the angry Kobe Bryant left the court early before the game was over.

Thibodeau mainly uses Carter as the main attack, and Christie does a good job of single defense. The inside line covered on the side, opened up space to create opportunities for Carter, and the white team's interior change was also timely.

Playing like this in a public training session, Thibodeau felt very shameless, and what was even more shameless was that the fans didn't pay attention to him at all, and his sense of existence was pitiful.

Yang Rui was very pleased with D'Antoni's performance, and called the two of them to dinner with third assistant coach Jack Smiley in the evening.

Summing up the match, Yang Rui said with a smile: "Tom, you didn't lose unjustly, his strategy for selecting people was correct, and your lineup was restrained." ”

Thibodeau shook his head: "I don't understand, obviously I have three starters in the team, and there is also Miller who can open up space." ”

"But you don't have a defender, so you have to shrink the positional battle. The two best defensive perimeter players on the team, Doug and Tracy went to the white team, and Bowen defended hard and was not good offensively. Mike, you're doing a great job, playing out the characteristics of Boykins, or using the Raptors' usual tactics last season. ”

D'Antoni smiled. "I just picked someone first."

D'Antoni was modest, and he also had a way to score in positional battles, allowing Maddy to hold the ball in the middle as a playmaker, Christie in the bottom corner, Jumaine pulling away, and Curry and O'Neal Jr. covering without the ball on the side. Once Curry receives the ball, the opposing center must defend it, otherwise Curry will shoot accurately.

If Curry attracts a change of defense and gives the ball to O'Neal Jr. for an empty cut, it's a misplaced heads-up opportunity.

It's more interesting when he comes off the bench, Cato is misplaced against Boykins and can't defend at all, so people can break through casually, and the height difference between the two makes fans feel very cute when they see it, and when Cato's meat shield center bends down, Boykins runs away early.

Because of the average pick-and-roll, Cato didn't get many opportunities to play in the last playoffs, and the small guard who is good at breaking through is his nemesis.

If you don't go to Cato, or the center guards out, it is very difficult to defend Jerome inside, after all, he is a super strong man of 136 kilograms, and his speed is not too slow, and he can not catch the ball under the basket, and no matter how much experience the outside players have in dislocation.

Thibodeau's response was to put Miller on the court, and the twin towers guarded the restricted area, but the white team didn't shoot badly.

In terms of offense in the new season, Yang Rui has someone to discuss. He feels that now that D'Antoni is the coach and leads the Raptors, the record is not much worse.
