Yang Rui would lie in bed every night before going to bed and think about how to convince Van Gundy to speed up the offensive tempo of the game and play offensive basketball, instead of sending a group of defensive players to grind the position with the opponent in a lifeless manner. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

It's hard to convince Van Gundy directly, but now it's easier to help Ewing brush the data. To be pretty, you have to speed up the tempo, which makes it easier to deliver assists, increase the number of rounds, and increase the number of shots a player makes.

During the flight, Yang Rui said some details of the data.

In the future, many people like to play NBA2K series of games, and use their favorite stars to brush out god data, which is what every player loves to do, and Yang Rui is no exception. He didn't even have to think about it, it was the truth.

"Let the other players retract the basket to help Patrick Karen and he will get the rebound in the backcourt."

"After blocking and dismantling, attract the opponent's interior defense and pull it away to the side, Patrick doesn't cut in the air, and waits for misplaced single opportunities with the horns on both sides."

"You tell them to cut to the side and the baseline, to get a pass from Patrick and shoot directly, to dribble at most to give him an assist, I think they will definitely cooperate."

Van Gundy was shocked, Yang Rui had the blood of a brush flowing in his bones!

After checking into the hotel, Van Gundy obviously didn't take the Raptors as a bad team in his eyes and announced that the whole team would have a day off.

The Raptors are the youngest team in the NBA, founded in 1995 and located in Toronto, the capital of Ontario, in the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference. After two seasons, the team's record is at the bottom, and the attendance rate is dismal, such a team really can't pose any threat to the Knicks.

The leader of the Raptors is "Little Squirrel" Damon Stoudmaire. He is only 178cm tall, weighs 78kg, and is a strong point guard with strong offense and weak defense, averaging 20.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, 8.8 assists and 1.5 steals per game last season. This is an "empty cut" type player, but the statistics are very beautiful, and he can't win the ball.

The next day, Yang Rui was going to travel to Toronto and wanted to find someone to accompany him.

It was already cold in November, and no one wanted to go out, and in the end, only Alan Houston was willing to go out with him.

The first time he came to Toronto, he thought it was a small city and amused Houston.

"Where did you hear that Toronto is a small city?"

"Uh......" Yang Rui commented on watching the NBA in his previous life, when it comes to the Raptors, there are always many people who say that it is a small club, and no one wants to come.

"At just over 7,000 square kilometers, Toronto is the fifth-largest city in North America, with only Mexico City, New York, Los Angeles and Chicago being larger," Houston explained. We couldn't have visited all of them in one day, and there were more than 1,600 parks alone. ”

"How much?" Yang Rui couldn't believe it.

"More than 1,600, I'm not exaggerating." Houston smiled: "I'm in for a treat at noon, I know there's a good restaurant here." ”

The two went to a home restaurant together, and while eating, they talked about the local customs.

"There are a lot of Chinese here, people from all over the world, and you can eat food from all over the world." "But it's too cold in this place, and there are often snowstorms in the winter, and I came to play the road the year before last and encountered one of them," Houston said. ”

In terms of city size, Toronto should be in the first gear, but unfortunately in Canada, the regional development is not as good as the United States, plus geography, taxes and other reasons, there are not many people in the league who are willing to come here to play.

Yang Rui can fully understand that the Raptors' predicament has actually been doomed since it officially entered the NBA.

In 1995, the NBA league established two teams in Canada for international reasons, one was the Vancouver Grizzlies and the other was the Toronto Raptors.

Vancouver is even worse, with the most famous example of the future being the Grizzlies' 1999 pick of Steve Francis, who refused to join, and the Grizzlies were unable to convince Vars. to change his mind and send him to the Rockets.

The Grizzlies have been in Vancouver for six seasons, and there are no stars willing to join, the team has a terrible record every season, never winning more than 25 games at a time, and the team's attendance is even more dismal, losing tens of millions of dollars every season. In 2001, Grizzlies owner Husley was forced to move his team to Memphis, a small city in the United States. Since then, only one team has been left in Canada, the Raptors.

In Yang Rui's previous life, the Raptors had several stars, Carter, Bosh, Lowry, and DeRozan all took time to cultivate.

In the afternoon, Houston took Yang Rui to visit several famous attractions, and returned to the hotel together in the evening, where fans waited at the door to ask for autographs.

Several of them are looking for Yang Rui, all of whom are Chinese.

There was also an old fan with gray temples who asked Yang Rui several questions with a worried look about the country and the people: "Do Chinese compatriots still have their last meal now?" Freezing in winter and sun in summer? Conservative ZF persecution? ”

Yang Rui couldn't laugh or cry, not long after China's reform and opening up, many early immigrants seemed to have a still understanding of China during the Cultural Revolution.

He didn't want to explain too much, so he replied, "I grew up in New York." ”

Bidding farewell to the fans, Yang Rui and Houston had a buffet at the hotel again. "Alain, thank you for being my guide today."

"No, I should thank you, if you hadn't come, I don't know when I would have been able to increase the ball, but unfortunately I haven't been able to live up to your expectations." Houston laughed.

Yang Rui predicted that Houston would average 20+ per game as an outside core, and now he only averaged 28.8 minutes per game, and the number of shots rose to 14.2, cutting 17.3 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2 assists. He played less minutes than he did last season and scored more points, shooting 42.8 percent from three-point range and making 2.3 three-pointers in one game.

This is a typical tactical benefit, and the reason why Houston didn't have 20+ was because Larry Johnson broke out and shared a lot of possession. As a selfless player, he is already content with the status quo.

Yang Rui said seriously: "Shoot more three-pointers, now you still shoot too little, according to the shooting rate, you shoot 10 three-pointers a game, I can accept it." ”

"Then Jeff will be angry, right?"

"I'm going to convince him, anyway, you remember, there are two main ways to attack, go in, shoot close to the basket and shoot threes from the outside, and if you don't score, you can also get a foul, and shooting threes is the most efficient." Yang Rui explained.

"Don't you win? Last season the coach made me a mid-range shot. Houston asked.

"He also made 10 shots and scored nine points on 30 percent three-point shooting. If you make 10 shots and score 10 points on 50% shooting, and you get one step closer to the basket than a three-point shot, and you don't shoot 50% from the field overall, it's just a simple math problem, right? Long-range mid-range shots should be avoided as much as possible. ”

"......" Houston had nothing to say.

He suddenly felt strange, could it be that the previous coaches were all idiots? How is it that from playing basketball to now, no coach has ever taught him to calculate this account? Van Gundy took the big mid-range shot as the truth last season, and repeatedly emphasized that he should shoot less three-pointers.

Houston sighed: Jerry is better than Van Gundy, and if he was the head coach, I might be a superstar.

He's not the first person to think so, it's just that everyone doesn't say it. The newcomers to the summer league, as well as veterans like Ewing and Johnson, feel that Yang Rui is too important.
