D'Antoni has the ability, which is a good thing for the Raptors, and the only embarrassment is Thibodeau. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

When he was in the Knicks, Thibodeau was ashamed when he met Yang Rui, and now there is a new coach, and he is very flexible in employing people. As the team's No. 1 assistant coach, he is under pressure again.

Thanks to Yang Rui's good speech, there was no estrangement between Thibodeau and D'Antoni.

"In the new season, our goal is to win the championship and we have to work together. Tom was in charge of the team's defensive system, and Mike's job was to meet me up and plan the offensive tactics. I'm sure we're going to surprise people this season. The pre-season is a test of you, so let's work together to lead the team. ”

Thibodeau smiled and asked, "Do you plan to watch the preseason as well?" ”

'That's right, pre-season is all about running in tactics, players warming up, you look for the feeling of a manager. Focus on running tactics and don't care about the record. ”

Proper delegation of authority can motivate people, and Yang Rui does this to let the assistant coach understand and inspect the players. He doesn't need it, who can play, how to play, he knows in his heart, as long as he participates in the discussion of tactics.

What is the peak of the future player, he has a general concept in his head, compared to the vision, no one in the basketball circle is inferior to him.

Thibodeau and D'Antoni are very happy, Yang Rui is not dictatorial is the best reward, no one wants to be an assistant for life.

In the training camp, the Raptors mainly attacked the position and practiced tactics.

D'Antoni quickly understood why Yang Rui didn't agree to reuse Boykins in the second quarter. Yang Rui just wanted Boykins to break fast, and in the positional battle, he arranged for the people in charge of the organization to be big men, starting Miller and replacing Maddie. Carter and O'Neal Jr. focused more on scoring, with a clear division of labor.

When defending, the Raptors still mainly use pseudo-joint defense to block the restricted area.

After a week of practice, the pre-season begins.

The coaching staff has given the newcomers more opportunities to perform, to run and run.

Jerome, Jumain, Boykins and others all get a lot of playing time, and D'Antoni's tactics are mainly to play the role of point guard, and the interior players are constantly blocking and picking, looking for opportunities to shoot or share the ball.

Starting point guard Billups was put to life by D'Antoni, and in two games he played 30 minutes and scored double-doubles.

Maddy, O'Neal Jr., and Carter are very efficient on offense and show super singles ability. They don't need to prove themselves in pre-season anymore and only play about 20 minutes per game.

There are also people who are unhappy, that is Brad Miller, D'Antoni prefers to let him play as a substitute, there are too many center forwards in the team, Cato and Jerome need to be investigated.

As one of the centerpieces of Yang Rui's hand-picked at Media Day, Miller only played about 10 minutes per game in the preseason. Yang Rui has no opinion on this, and comforts Miller on the sidelines, he is the team's secret weapon, and it is not too late to play the regular season.

The Raptors' strength on the outside is unobstructed, and the veteran Hornacek only plays 10 minutes per game, without attacking with the ball, and waits for opportunities to shoot three-pointers on the perimeter, which is different from the task of the Jazz period, and the three-point shooting rate in the preseason is as high as 50%.

Ryan Bowen has been completely reduced to a fringe man, and no matter what tactics he plays, he is the last choice in the No. 3 and No. 4 positions.

Even if they retain their strength, the Raptors have a 6-1 record in the preseason, only losing to the Suns.

In the official first power list, the Raptors ranked fourth, second only to the Spurs, Trail Blazers, and Lakers, surpassing the Heat. Regardless of whether the championship announcement is too crazy or not, many experts are optimistic about the Raptors, believing that they are the strongest team in the East.

The Knicks are only in ninth place, and last season's upset loss to the Raptors caused a huge drop in popularity.

On November 2, the Raptors' home opener against the Heat, full of gimmicks, was broadcast live nationwide.

Now that the Raptors have shouted the slogan of winning the championship, it is natural that they must beat the Heat, the champion of the East last season, to be convincing. The two sides met in the first game, full of physical strength, and attracted more fans.

In the home team's locker room, Yang Rui's way of boosting morale is still different. "First of all, we got a new stadium today, and we want to get this stadium off to a good start. Secondly, I signed an endorsement contract with DOMORI and the commercials were filmed, so it would be embarrassing if I didn't win while eating 'chocolate that brought victory' on the sidelines. So, everyone must do their best. ”

The players all laughed, Yang Rui likes to eat on the sidelines, they are all used to it.

DOMORI is an Italian brand, the top 10 of the world's top 10 chocolates, and is considered the most delicious chocolate in the world. The first company in the world to write and promote the rules of chocolate appreciation, producing 100% pure dark chocolate, which is one of the few 100% pure dark cocoa chocolates that are completely natural and free of artificial additives.

Yang Rui didn't consider endorsing snacks, and he didn't have an agent, so he just played in the summer. As a result, several companies thought that he was too low and competed.

In the end, DOMORI was willing to offer Yang Rui a two-year contract of $5 million, and the endorsement fee could be compared with many stars, so Yang Rui agreed.

Coaches shooting advertisements are not new in the NBA, but there are still many media reports about it, Phil Jackson has endorsed KFC for many years, and he has not received as much attention as Yang Rui. (Jackson didn't endorse KFC!) ）

Yang Rui continued: "In the 82 games of the regular season, there will definitely be a rotation break, in order to ensure that everyone plays in the best condition and does not get injured. Everybody has a chance to perform, but you have to share the ball and try to defend. There are always people who say that we can't defend well, so it's difficult to win the championship, and we have to use our actions to slap these blind people in the face. ”

A few people were secretly having fun, and the new players couldn't believe it, his way of boosting morale before the game was too improper.

"Finally, everyone has to remember the adage of the dressing room." Yang Rui pointed to the wall, and a pair of words were framed in the center.

The adage that every team in the NBA has a locker room is a major feature, which the Raptors did not have before, and this year Yang Rui brought it up. The Raptors' motto is simple, just one sentence - the secret of success is to never change the set goal!

Yang Rui asked loudly: "In order to win the championship, everyone must twist into a rope, unite and create miracles!" Have faith? ”

"Yes!" Everyone responded loudly.

New veterans Hornacek and Curry are no exception, and they all feel that they are not wrong.

Yang Rui really wants to lead the team to win the championship this season, and after the preseason, they believe that the Raptors do have the possibility of winning the championship. Their squad is very luxurious, can play a variety of tactics, and none of the 15 men are redundant.

In the opening game, Jerome, Bowen, and Boigins did not make the 12-man squad, and the weakest in the rotation was probably rookie Jumaine Jones, and he also showed good potential in training, with good physical fitness, and can shoot three-pointers, but poor passing awareness.

In the away team's locker room, Riley boosted morale and asked for more confrontation and good pick-and-roll.

The Heat players are under a lot of pressure, the overall strength of the team is weaker than last season, and the departure of veteran Terry Burt has a clear impact on the second team, with fewer scoring points, and the first game is a great test for the Raptors.

They all know that the physical advantage is key to eliminating the Raptors in the playoffs, and now they are facing an opponent with plenty of physical strength. The Raptors retained the original core lineup, and the summer brought in two veterans who are good at long-range shooting, which must be stronger.

The players are on time and the game is about to start.
