After the game, the Chinese reporter who accompanied the team conducted an exclusive interview with Zhang Bin. After confirming that Yang Rui was Chinese www.biquge.info everyone was a little excited, no matter what nationality he was, those who could speak Mandarin were their own.

With a group of unknown players playing in the national team, Yang Rui proved his strength, and the next day his photos were published in many Chinese newspapers.

There are more and more fans watching the NBA in China, and Yang Rui became a coach at the age of 23.

In the United States, Yang Rui did not have a reporter to interview him. Unlike in the 21st century, summer league doesn't have as much attention, and reporters are more likely to keep an eye out for up-and-coming rookies. The Knicks don't have big names, except for Stephen Jackson, who are a bunch of losers.

The Knicks management dispelled their doubts, even if they couldn't win all of them in the end, Yang Rui deserved praise for this one.

In the second game, the Knicks' opponent was the Lakers.

Kobe Bryant has entered a stable rotation lineup after a season, and the coaching staff does not need him to participate in the summer league anymore, this time the Lakers are all marginal people, led by second-round rookie, 183CM point guard DeJuan Witt.

A group of unpopular players faced the five fierce generals appointed by Yang Rui, and the ending was not unexpected, and the Lakers were blown up at halftime.

114-74, the Knicks won by 40 points.

Six players on the team scored in double figures, and the two blue-collar workers did their best to show their defensive talents, and the offense had nothing to do with them.

Yang Rui clearly told Bowen that he would practice three points in the bottom corner of the right side, and he didn't even have to practice on the left side, and focused on the defensive end. Doing this well ensures that he stays with the Knicks for the new season.

Ben Wallace's task is equally simple, on the offensive end, he doesn't have to care about anything except picking up leaks under the basket, controlling the rebound, resisting people in the low post, and helping to block the defense!

Both of them have big heads when they mention offense, they don't know how to play if they don't defend, and they are preoccupied with defense even if they are leading by a big score. In this way, the opponent is unlucky, and now put these two in the NBA, and the defensive end is also of a high standard.

Wallace played 31 minutes, with 12 points, 22 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 7 blocks, including 10 frontcourt rebounds, which is another perverted statistic.

Bowen had 5 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist, played 26 minutes, and the opponent who was swaying wanted to cry.

The strongest offense was still Jackson and Atkins, with 26 and 24 points respectively.

With the battle report, manager Ernie Grenfeld called a meeting of the management staff and announced the good news. "With the second big win over the Lakers, it looks like we're going to have to get ready for a party to celebrate, and the money boss will definitely be happy to come out. Glenn, do you think Jerry can lead the team to victory now? ”

"I think this kid is a demon now, and it's ...... that a team of fringe people can play this kind of game" Glenn Walsh is stuck, and he can't find the right words to describe it.

"Can't explain it, can it? Jeff, what do you think? Ernie asked with a smile.

Van Gundy was so curious that he couldn't sit still and wanted to run to Long Beach to watch the game. But no, if he goes, I don't know what he will say on the news.

He said solemnly: "I think Jerry is practicing the Knicks' offensive tactics for the new season. Moore is like Ewing, who is responsible for air cuts and mid-range shots after screening, Wallace is like Oakley, who is responsible for defense and rebounding, and Atkins, like Houston, is responsible for running and catching shots. Jackson is good at messing and can pass the ball, and as for that Bowen, he should be good defensively. ”

Scott Maguire asks: "Is this the starting XI for the team?" ”

"yes, what's wrong?" Van Gundy asked rhetorically.

Scott swallowed and spat, and said with a wry smile: "This is the list that Jerry reported to me before, he only selected five people, and it is these five ......"

Hiss. In the conference room, everyone gasped.

Several people looked at each other, if Yang Rui hadn't beaten yet, he was optimistic about these five people, how could he explain it? Born with a discerning eye? If playing well is a tactical reason, he can really only be described as "demonic".

In the summer league, not many teams are willing to choose blue-collar workers, and the criteria for selecting teams are based on good data, so this kind of game is usually strong in attack and weak in defense. Yang Ruijian went sideways and chose two blue-collar workers, but it played a big role.

"Anyway, I'm okay with this kid." Glenn is very single-minded Yang Rui of the recognition. "Hey, don't even look at me like that, it's just that he's really too young, and I suspect he's incompetent. Now I'm the first to approve of him as a teaching assistant. ”

Ernie smiled, "Hopefully he can bring more surprises." ”

In Game 3, the Knicks defeated the Warriors 106-88.

Stephen Jackson came out of his way, slashing 38 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists. When the players have hot hands, the Warriors have a small man on the main defense, Jackson pulls all the way, how to shoot, how to shoot, 7 of 11 three-pointers.

Shooting three-pointers is not his strong point, and it is unreasonable to be accurate to have a convulsion.

In the fourth game, the Knicks defeated the Suns 110-103.

The difference in points is not big, because Yang Rui changed his style of play, Bowen and Wallace truce, and the two sides fought to attack. A lot of people won't get the chance to play in the preseason, and Yang Rui gave them time to perform.

It turns out that black players with low ball quotient have no future, and there are stars in the disruptive battle, so how can it be possible to let the marginal people who don't defend go up to the waves? Except for the five future strongmen picked out by Yang Rui, only Brad Jones performed well, he has a high ball quotient, accurate shooting, and poor confrontation.

Facing the poor Suns, the Knicks almost lost. Jackson was the same as the last game, shooting 6-of-21 from the field, missing all 7 three-pointers, and scoring just 14 points from the free throw line.

After the game, Jackson took the initiative to bow his head to Yang Rui and apologize, for fear of losing the opportunity to play the preseason game for the Knicks.

Yang Rui generously forgave him. "I can understand why you want to behave because the sun gave up on you, but next time, you have to be smarter when you want to be in the limelight."

In the final game, the Knicks played against the 76ers.

The 76ers have three rookies in the preseason, seven power forwards Tim Thomas in the first round, swingman Anthony Parker at 21, Eric Snow, 14 point guards in the second round, and Mark Blanco, a fringe center who underperformed last year.

The Knicks' play was eye-catching, and they relied on tight defense to control the situation firmly in the opening game.

The blue-collar players play an obvious role, and Parker, the main attack point of Bowen defense, has no hand at all, no matter how bad his offense is, the starting position is untouchable, and the average playing time per game is second on the team, second only to Ben Wallace.

Big Ben is stronger, grabbing rebounds one by one and dominating the basket.

Jackson also performed well, playing as a guest power forward to defend No. 7 pick Thomas in the second half.

Atkins and Moore guaranteed offensive firepower, and with three minutes left in the game, the Knicks led by 20 points and the win was decided.

Yang Rui asked Brad to sit next to him and talk to him alone. "Your shooting is excellent, averaging 15.3 points per game, shooting 44% from three-point range, the stats are eye-catching, but your defense, your organization is too poor, and you suffer from the confrontation. In order not to delay your job search, I will give you a letter now, you will definitely not have a chance to play in the preseason for the Knicks, unfortunately. ”

Brad was suddenly disappointed. "I see."

"Don't give up, you're still young, I have a suggestion for you, if you don't mind leaving home, you can try it in the Chinese CBA League, I think there, you'll be a star."

Yang Rui knows that there is no confrontation in the CBA at this time, and the shooting is superman.

"......" Brad bit his lip and said "thank you" in embarrassment.

The 24-year-old heard a 23-year-old say, "You're still young", it's really awkward!
