After talking about tactics, Van Gundy's impression of Yang Rui has completely changed. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This kid is not here to learn, but to get this job, he has the ability and dares to perform, so he rushes to open his mouth and suppresses his competitors.

Van Gundy asked, "Can you refine Ewing's tactics after covering the air cut?" ”

Yang Rui redrew a picture, marked the running position with an arrow, and explained: "Ewing cuts to the side, receives the ball in the low post, and if Longley switches defenses, he will face a swingman or a guard, and have a physical advantage to hit the basket." Longley is slow, and it is difficult to return to the defense in time when he goes out, and if Rodman and Pippen make up for the defense, Ewing will divide the ball to the weak side, and the bottom corner player can shoot when he receives the ball, so I recommend that the small forward practice the corner shooting, and Ewing will practice the high post and the mid-range shooting on both sides. ”

Van Gundy doesn't like to hear this, he's very traditional. "How is it possible for the inside line not to go into the box? Hit the basket with a higher percentage of shots. ”

"RONLEY IS 218CM TALL AND WEIGHS 120 KILOGRAMS, WHICH IS ONE SIZE BIGGER THAN EWING, SO IT'S HARD TO BE EFFICIENT WHEN YOU GO STRAIGHT TO THE LOW POST, SO I THINK WE SHOULD TRY TO CREATE AS MUCH SPACE AS POSSIBLE. So, I'd recommend reducing Ewing's low post offense and preferably his playing time as well. Yang Rui did not follow Van Gundy and insisted on his own ideas.

In his previous life, in the 1997-1998 season, Ewing dislocated his right wrist with a torn ligament, and only played 26 games in the regular season, which was the consequence of making the 36-year-old veteran work too hard. Ewing played only four games in the playoffs and had a poor performance, with the Knicks being eliminated 4-1 by the Pacers in the second round.

The NBA is not stronger than anyone, creating empty shots, and there are many people who will shoot more than 40% of their three-point shooting rate in the future, not to mention that there is Alan Houston on the team, so there is no need to waste it.

"When Ewing is off the court, the Knicks' defensive intensity will decrease, how to solve this problem? Both of you can answer as well. Van Gundy looked at Thibodeau and Boyd.

The faces of the two senior assistant coaches were not very good-looking, and Van Gundy's question seemed to take into account their emotions and give them a chance to perform, but in fact they were responsible for "throwing bricks and stones".

Since Yang Rui dares to say that Ewing will reduce his playing time, there must be a solution, from entering the door to now, Yang Rui has been showing confidence.

Van Gundy was already looking down on the other two, and before Yang Rui arrived, they talked about their past work and didn't say anything about how they will work with the Knicks in the new season. If they can't speak when they are suppressed by young people, what about seniors?

The two of them have similar ideas, they should be cautious in their words, but now it won't work, and it won't be difficult to come up with some dry goods, needless to say.

Thibodeau reacted faster and spoke first.

"After Ewing went off the field, the half-court positional battle, the defender put pressure on the man with the ball, and at the same time the big man pressed the ball, and the local short two clamped one, covering the opponent's ball carrier. At the same time, several other players collectively cut off the long passing line, leaving a fast and two-meter-tall striker on the weak side, controlling the two at the same time and doing a good job of rotation. ”

Van Gundy pondered for a moment, and there was some truth.

Thibodeau has a deep knowledge of defence. This routine requires a tough single defense against the ball, plus a big man who is flexible and can force the three-point line, and a perfect team rotation that works as long as the opponent can't shoot with five people.

Van Gundy asked: "It's not good to play rebounding protection in the backcourt, and Oakley often has to defend it, right?" ”

"Yes, you can't do everything defensively." Thibodeau replied.

"Ewing is off the court, if the opponent has a strong offensive ability on the inside, relying on strength to play the low post, one-on-one can complete a hard meal, attracting the bag and sharing the ball to the perimeter shot. What should I do if Oakley and Buck Williams can't stop it? ”

If it is a tonnage star like O'Neal, he is fierce in the low post, not to mention Ewing's rest, and he can't prevent it when he is there. Fortunately, there are not many such people.

Boyd finally spoke, but in a somewhat irresponsible manner. "I think, let's let Ewing play more, he's a tough guy and will do his best to win, and the Knicks tradition is iron-blooded."

Van Gundy's face was impassive, and he directly gave this one an X in his heart.

If Nima Lao Tzu had someone available, would Ewing play 37 minutes last season? If it weren't for the fact that the Knicks players were too iron-blooded, they could fight the Heat last season and the ban was reversed?

Now to say the word "iron will" to him, like a kind of sarcasm.

Yang Rui raised his hand and said with a smile: "I agree with Tom, speed up the rotation, and the interior defense can be adjusted according to the opponent's lineup." For example, against Laker O'Neal, he used shark slashing tactics to send him to free throws. If it is Mourning, then send someone who is not very tall and has the strength to fight with him to fight for muscles, resist outside the penalty area, and reduce his efficiency. Against the big man who has a lot of weight and poor shooting, we can still solve the problem by playing a small lineup, as long as we shrink and block the box. ”

Thibodeau hurriedly added: "Guaranteed rotation, the opponent can't shoot from the outside, only rely on the low post to attack, the score is easy to control within 100 points, and we can also play counterattacks." ”

Thibodeau and Yang Rui looked at each other and smiled, Yang Rui did not completely refute his tactics, which was enough to overpower Boyd. The Knicks don't just need a teaching assistant right now.

Boyd scolded his mother in his heart, did you two agree to come in a group? I've said it all, what else can I say?

Ernie and Van Gundy also suspect that Tom and Yang Rui know each other, because Yang Rui just called "Tom", just like an old friend. When he entered, Van Gundy didn't introduce him to two competitors. Thibodeau is not well-known, who would pay attention to the 76ers' unpopular assistant coach?

Yang Rui succeeded in confusing the public again, and also pulled an ally.

Van Gundy asked, "If you join the Knicks, what would your goals be?" ”

The general manager was here, saying that the goal was equal to the military order, and the two calm people began to think about it, and Yang Rui immediately answered, categorically.

"My goal is to help the Knicks win a championship this season and I'm confident I can do it. Our strengths include three-point shooting, defense, roster depth, core age, and no worse than the Bulls. ”

"Hahaha, that's a good point, ambitious." Ernie applauded.

Van Gundy also smiled, this is what he thinks, the Knicks' iron and blood, the confidence to dare to pursue their dreams, and the passion to move forward towards their goals.

Looking at the other two, they didn't even dare to say a word, as if they were afraid that the team would be eliminated and they would be responsible.

Even if the Knicks were eliminated, the fans scolded the head coach, they didn't even have a little responsibility as assistants, and they were compared to Yang Rui in an instant, like the light of fireflies is brighter than the moon.

Van Gundy asked: "Do you really think we can win the title this season?" ”

"Yes! Because I have confidence in you, I have confidence in the Knicks players, I have more confidence in myself. My forte is attacking, and as long as the team is willing to use me, I will help you plan the right offensive tactics and do everything I can to help the team win. ”

"I'd like to pick him as an assistant coach for the new season." Van Gundy turned his head to look at Ernie and said solemnly, "He's good." ”

Without any coaching experience, no terrifying identity and background, Yang Rui impressed Van Gundy with just one interview.

In this day and age, he is a genius!
