In October, the NBA preseason began. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Wizards are despised by many experts, and fans on the Internet vote to predict the Eastern and Western playoff teams, and only a few people look at the curious talents. Most predictions are based on the lineup, the Wizards players are not well-known, and the first-round rookie is only eighth.

"The Wizards have the most depth of their roster to make the playoffs, and not being swept in the first round is a success."

"Jordan has influenced the development of the Wizards, he is old and has to be the core, shooting 41.6 percent from the field last season."

"If Jerry Young can lead the Wizards to the Eastern Conference Finals this year, or even win a championship, he is the god of basketball."

"Jerry Young won two championships with a group of Raptors stars, and the Wizards are about to show their original form."

"If you can't make the playoffs this year, will Jerry Young still dare to eat snacks on the sidelines?"

Being young is easy to be jealous, and many people are waiting to see Yang Rui lively.

The team's run-in time is limited, and the players have to be coached by Hornacek to practice shooting every day in addition to running tactics. In this preseason, Yang Rui does not plan to have any reservations.

He cut the two no-contract players directly after training camp, making it clear that they would not get any playing opportunities in the preseason and that it would be better to switch to him as soon as possible. Tim Hardaway is out of luck, and it will be difficult for his agent to contact the team for him, and even if any team is willing to let him play in the preseason, it will be difficult to have a tacit understanding.

In the first game, the Wizards' offensive core was Hamilton, Wesley and Stoudmire, relying on the continuous off-ball running and inside cutting of outside players, which caught the Bulls off guard.

Jordan didn't have a main offense, organized in the high post, and handed out five assists in a single quarter. The Wizards, who were defenseless against the Bulls last season, took a four-point lead in the first quarter with Maddy and Brand playing.

Artest defends well, and when he encounters a player of Hamilton's style, he will be frustrated and must keep running, while Artest is not fast enough to chase and defend. "Scalpel" scored 12 points in a single quarter.

The Wizards also played well off the bench in the second quarter, and although the off-ball running on the wing lacked tacit understanding, Alston and Boozer's high blocks created scoring opportunities to extend their halftime lead to 12 points.

In the second half, Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau stepped up his defense, switching between joint defense and man-to-man for the Wizards lineup, Artest blocked Margeti, and Brand limited Stadamire to gradually recover the score.

Jordan rested in the final quarter, Alston started to shoot in a wave, and the Bulls took the opportunity to play a wave of 11-0 to complete the reversal, and the final score was 94-100.

Alston had 20 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists, but he didn't shoot well from the field, shooting just 7-of-19, 2-of-6 from three-point range and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line.

In the second game against the 76ers, Yang Rui let Alston sit on the bench all over the court, gave Tyrone Lue a chance to perform, and let him defend Iverson.

The 76ers joined Van Horn at the cost of sending defensive pillar Mutombo. The coaching staff also made changes, with Larry Brown going to the Knicks.

The 76ers played a mess throughout the game, attacking Iverson singles, and others pulling away and waiting for opportunities. Last season, Iverson was dissatisfied with the team's declining record and had a conflict with Brown, and now the new season has not even begun, which indicates that the 76ers are going to fail.

105-83, the Wizards won by 22 points.

In Game 3, the Wizards surprised pundits by beating another playoff team, the Hornets, 95-89.

Hornets stars Francis and Mashburn had good stats, but the Wizards dominated the interior, Stadamire and Leitner both played well, and Boozer became a bench wonder, scoring 18 points and 12 rebounds.

Alstom continued to sit on the cold bench and did not play for a minute. Yang Rui didn't talk to him in the past few days, and hid directly, like a very normal and insignificant arrangement.

After returning to the locker room after the game, Alstom took advantage of the fact that his teammates had gone to take a shower and whispered to Yang Rui to chat alone. "Coach, I'm sorry for the first game, I swear I won't waste it again, please give me a chance to play."

Yang Rui smiled: "Raff, do you know why I didn't let you play?" ”

"Because I didn't play according to the tactics." Alstom replied cautiously. He suspected that he had chosen the wrong way to prove himself, and it was not right for a newcomer with a base salary to go crazy.

"It's because you're not playing smart, you became famous at a young age, you played in the 18-year-old age group at Rock Park at the age of 15, and you were all over the country, what did you rely on? What are your strengths? Yang Rui asked with a smile.

"It's dribbling." Alston replied that it was the proudest thing he was doing.

With his brilliant hand-changing dribble and strange turning footwork, he became the king of street ball. A few years after his debut, sneaker production company And1 published a video album of Alstom's streetball when he was just 12 years old. As the And1 Mix Tape collection swept the United States, more and more fans began to like Alstom's "possession-oriented" streetball style.

"That's right, your advantage is on the ball, not on shooting. I'm allowed you to dribble on the court, but the breakthrough attracts the defense, and your first choice must be passing, don't let me see a pull-up jump shot or a small throw, don't you find that you don't even have a 40% shooting percentage in these two moves? Unless you completely shake off the defense and go to the basket for a layup, or catch and shoot from the perimeter, pass first the rest of the time, do you understand? ”

"Understood." Alston nodded hurriedly.

"I'm going to stagger your playing time with Michael, you have to be thankful for that, otherwise he might scold you on the pitch and I'll let you play and be ready." Yang Rui smiled.

"Okay, thanks." Alstom smiled, thinking that it was his sincerity that moved Yang Rui.

He didn't dare to have the slightest disrespect for Yang Rui, before, his NBA road was not smooth, he has always been a marginal person, and he must seize this opportunity.

He felt that Yang Rui was more domineering than the Bucks coach George Carr, and he didn't talk nonsense and gave him a lesson without making a sound.

Alston became famous early, his personality is more arrogant, he is a problem player, he was prosecuted for beating his ex-girlfriend in college, and he went to jail in early 99 for this incident.

Yang Rui didn't intend to spit and reason with him in a good voice, but gave him a hint that if he was obedient, he could appear, and if he was disobedient, he would sit on the bench, which was more powerful than saying anything.

Alston thought that he had performed better than Tyrone Lue in training camp, and the team couldn't do without him, so he was a little dragged up, and was immediately poured cold water.

Yang Rui also vaguely nodded to him, if he can't get rid of his bad problems, the next time he talks to him will be Jordan. was found by Jordan, and the end was probably a 360-degree spray without dead ends.

In the fourth game, Alston really played well, playing 28 minutes, shooting 3 of 7, 1 of 3 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, and getting 9 points, 3 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 steal. As long as he maintains that level, he's a qualified role player.

The Wizards defeated the Pistons, who were resting on the spot, 101-89 to make it three wins in a row.

After that, the Wizards lost to the Knicks twice and beat the Hornets 100-97 again, ending the preseason with a 4-3 record.

The team showed some problems and bright spots, which were not much different from Yang Rui's pre-match predictions.

The players were on vacation for two days, and Yang Rui was ready to talk to Margeti online, but the muscular man's performance did not meet his expectations.
