Chapter 447 [Rush to it, open confrontation!] 】

Yang Rui talked a lot with role players, and just said hello to Kobe, and a sharp-eyed reporter found out about this and asked during the interview. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yang Rui smiled: "I'm here to encourage newcomers, Kobe doesn't need encouragement, even if I don't say it, he will never slack off in training." And I talked to him all day long on the Internet, and today I pulled him to talk about basketball, which probably annoyed him. ”

The reporter asked: "What role does Yao Ming play in the team?" ”

Yang Rui said: "He will compete with other interior players for the core of the interior line, I will not fix someone to play more, it depends on who the opponent is and the state of the player." What is certain is that during the pre-season and training camp, I will reduce the amount of training for Yao Ming and Odom, because they are in the Olympics and the most important thing is to recover their strength. ”

Yao Ming's injuries are all accumulated, Yang Rui's previous life, Yao Ming, who has become an all-star, actually played the 2005 Asian Championships on behalf of the Chinese team. If Yao Ming didn't play, they wouldn't have the confidence to beat South Korea, and in the 2002 Busan Asian Games, the men's basketball team was upset by the South Korean team.

Yang Rui will not stop Yao Ming's patriotic behavior, but will only help him relieve pressure in other aspects, with Kobe Bryant in the team, the Lakers don't need Yao Ming to hold the ball in the low post to attack, he will be much easier.

Most of the interviews were low-key, with the exception of Rashid Wallace, who has always been a big talker and a big mouth.

"I think the Lakers can challenge for a championship this season because our coach is Jerry Young, and that's why I joined."

The reporter asked: "There is some overlap between you and Odom's positions, if Jerry asks you to play as a substitute, would you be willing?" ”

"Yes, he asked me to play as a centre-forward, and I wouldn't be surprised, he's always liked small-ball play. My time with the Trail Blazers wasn't going to be good, and I'm sure there will be good results with the Lakers. ”

The Trail Blazers lose every year, even the best season of the roster has been lost to the Lakers, and Rashid's edges are almost smoothed.

He used to be known as "Roaring Tianzun" and often yelled at the referee for technical fouls, but he didn't have that spirit last season. He has long given up the idea of being the core and leading the team to win the championship, and is willing to listen to the coach's arrangement.

When Rashid was introduced, many people thought that he was not easy to train and was a locker room cancer, but Yang Rui knew his performance in the Pistons, was very obedient and not worried.

Kobe Bryant commented on Yang Rui and said: "He is the best coach in the league, and the arrangement of tactics can be described as terrible, as an opponent before, I couldn't beat his team, and now that he is to the Lakers, I believe he can lead the Lakers to win the championship." ”

Kobe Bryant is the most confident of all players, because the Wizards won the championship in 2003, and he is confident that he is much better than the 40-year-old Jordan.

The next day, the Lakers held their first public practice session at the Staples Center arena, which was attended by nearly 20,000 fans, hundreds of domestic and foreign media outlets, and many reporters who failed to secure seats in the media booth.

Before an official game was played, the Lakers' popularity caught up with the 2000-2001 season.

Old Bass delivered a speech at the scene, first thanked the fans, and then thanked Yang Rui for joining, saying that he was optimistic about this season.

The Lakers' open practice games are better and more entertaining than other teams, and there are interactive activities with fans from the beginning.

The players played in turn, just like the usual regular season, and Bryant received a lot of applause when he came out on the finale, and the Eagle County lawsuit was closed, and there were a little more fans who supported him.

The players warmed up, practiced shooting, and then divided into yellow and white teams to start the most attractive matchup.

The score of this competition was recorded, and it was also broadcast by local TV stations.

Yang Rui and Brooks lead the white team, and the eight players are Morehelms, Terry Brown, Kobe, Hojberg, Dio, Ariza, Diop, Yao Ming.

The Yellow team is led by Hornacek and Hollins, and the eight players are Charlie Ward, Damon Jones, Anthony Piller, Wharton, Iguodala, Cook, Rasheed Wallace, Odom.

Mitchell Thompson, guest host of Los Angeles Sports, said: "Look at the depth of the lineup, the yellow team players are experienced and the overall strength is stronger, the white team is Kobe Bryant with a group of marginal people, the players are selected on the spot, Jerry Young is a little underestimated, if the open training game is lost, it is not good." ”

Partner Stu Lanterz said: "Maybe he wants to test Kobe's strength, or maybe he really believes that Yao Ming has the potential to be a star center and can work well with Kobe." ”

On the sidelines, fans were also discussing, with Hollywood stars Jack Nicholson and Adam Sandler sitting together chatting.

"There's no way Jerry's white team can't win, right? I suspect that this kid did it on purpose, wanting Kobe Bryant to play seriously and see the strength. The actor said.

"Unless Yao can play at Duncan's level, it's hard to win, and I don't remember the news saying that he was good at wiping the board and shooting." Sandler laughed and said he was a fan of Duncan.

Old Bas sat down with Kupchak and whispered, "Jerry is a man who can really be the center of attention wherever he goes, and he can get people's interest in playing in team games." ”

Kupchak nodded: "I hope Yao Ming can really become a star, so that we can make a lot of money in the new season." ”

Yang Rui arranged the tactics of Yao Ming and Kobe Bryant blocking and dismantling in the middle, and the others opened up and waited for opportunities.

Yao Ming played like this when he was in the Knicks, the difference is that Yang Rui asked him to observe the situation, cut the basket at any time, catch the ball and attack or grab the rebound in the front court, instead of standing in the high post and waiting for the ball to be returned.

The starting lineup arranged by Yang Rui is Mo Williams, Hojberg, Kobe, Dior, Yao Ming, one big and four small, and the defensive end is mixed defense.

The Yellow started Jones, Iguodala, Wharton, Odom, Rashid.

Odom jumped the ball to beat Yao Ming, and the game began.

Several interior players have to compete for playing time, and the desire to perform is very strong, Odom first showed his good physical fitness, and when he debuted, he was known as a left-handed magician, Garnett Jr.

Jones took it to the front court and passed it to Rashid at 70 degrees to the side, and he ran to the bottom right corner. Rashid hoisted the ball to Odom, who went low to the right to ask for the ball.

Odom played a cameo role as center, intending to give Yao Ming a dismount and prove that he is also the second leader of the Lakers in the new season. He and Jones and Rashid can shoot three points to form a triangle, and the opponent is not easy to pack.

Odom took the ball to the frame, Yao Ming kept his distance, prevented the breakaway, and interfered with the shot. Odom lowered his center of gravity and forced a breakthrough to the bottom line, and Yao Ming followed on the side.

Yao Ming did not gain weight after entering the league, his muscles were stronger than in 2002, and although his lateral speed was slow, he had no problem defending the area under the basket, and covered Odom with his tall body.

Odom has always played as a starter and a power forward, and he has never played against Yao Ming in the past two years, and he doesn't know the characteristics of the other party. He took three steps deep into the basket and jumped, trying to perform a one-handed dunk of "looking back at the moon".

This kind of counter-slam action is very beautiful, and if you score, you will definitely be selected for the top five goals in the official competition. But Odom underestimated Yao Ming too much, and if he played this with Yao Ming in the penalty area, he had a higher chance of being selected for the top five.

Yao Ming saw the opportunity, slightly tilted his toes, reached for Odom, and pressed his right hand accurately on the basketball.

Yao Ming's center of gravity is very stable, but Odom is in a half-turned state, his body is twisted, naturally Yao Ming has more strength and successfully blocked the ball.

Odom lost his center of gravity in the air, landed on one foot, and sat on the ground with his ass.

Yao Ming picked up the basketball, held it in his arms and waited for his teammates to respond, completing a beautiful defense!
