Chapter 354 [Willing to Substitute and Rebuild Confidence]
Jordan couldn't find the shortcomings of the new tactics and agreed to play like this, which was his most handy scoring method when he was with the Bulls. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info teammates pulled him heads-up, have unlimited shots, attract the bag and then distribute the ball to teammates.
The Wizards can also play a triangle offense, and it is enough to let Wesley and Marshall, two people who are good at shooting three-pointers, and Jordan on the side. At that time, Bale stood in the bottom corner of the weak side to attract the defense, and Lightner received the ball in the middle without a chance to shoot, and he could also organize high.
Leitner's passing awareness is good, and after entering the league, he has had more than two assists for six consecutive seasons, which is very stable, averaging 4.4 per game at his peak.
After getting Jordan, Yang Rui went to talk to the players, mainly Hamilton and Stoudamire, and made them willing to accept the substitute position and not be dissatisfied.
Sure enough, as soon as he heard that he was going to be a substitute, Hamilton's face became ugly, but he has been working hard to become an All-Star, so that Jordan will consider making him the spokesperson for AJ shoes.
"Jerry, is there anything I've been doing wrong lately? I've been playing according to your requests. Hamilton asked depressedly.
"Rip, don't be nervous, you're doing well, but in order to win more games, we have to adjust. On the contrary, I think you are the key to the team coming out of the situation and winning. Yang Rui smiled.
Hamilton immediately breathed a sigh of relief, at least not if he didn't play well and was relegated to the bench.
Yang Rui then "painted a big pie" for Hamilton: "We thought about it for a week before deciding to let you be a substitute, which is very good for the team. As long as you play to your characteristics and play well this season, Michael will definitely make you the face of AJ sneakers. ā
"What? Did he say that? "Hamilton also comes with its own BGM. (eyes wide like brass bells)
Hamilton is very persistent in being the spokesperson of AJ shoes, one is vanity, which is Nike's high-end brand; The second is to wear comfortably, because AJ's shoes are technical, shock-absorbing design and the like.
"Of course, I'll help you say it when you play well, don't think that the bench means weak, think about Maddy, when I was with the Raptors, I arranged for him to play off the bench, won two Best Sixth Man, and was also selected to the All-Star Game in 2000. For four years in a row, the Raptors' bench lineup has blown up other teams, and I'm good at using the bench, and you're the killer. Your goal this season is to be the best sixth man, competing with Corey and Amare. ā
Hamilton was stunned for a moment. "Amare also playing as a substitute?"
"Yes, in the previous game, the cooperation between the two of you has already reached a tacit understanding, if you are separated, you have to rematch. You're more attacking together, you know what to do, right? ā
"Of course." Hamilton nodded, willing to be a substitute.
Hamilton has also averaged 4.4 assists per game this season, almost all of them to Stoudamire, and his stats are sure to drop if they don't play together.
Yang Rui then talked to Stadameyer, and the statement was similar, except that the sixth man who was fighting for the best was changed to fighting for the best rookie.
"Amare, the starting lineup Jordan has to take up a lot of shots, you have limited offense, Leitner and Jordan worked together last season, he shot more accurately than you after blocking and dismantling. You switch to the bench and it's easier for us to distribute the shots. You won't play less minutes, and the opposing bench may be less defensive, making it easier to score. Fight well, we want to end the losing streak. ā
Stoudeyer is not depressed, he is only an eighth overall pick, he was reused as soon as he arrived at the Wizards, and he received far more treatment and evaluation than the top three in the draft, and he is already very satisfied.
The coaching staff doesn't have to explain anything to the role players, they just follow the instructions. The Wizards' offensive trident is Hamilton, Jordan, and Stoudamire.
Margeti was a little worse and was introduced as a sixth man.
Boozer is only a second-round rookie, so it's normal that he doesn't have a place on the team. In Yang Rui's previous life, he played in the Cavaliers for two seasons, because the Cavaliers' interior strength was too poor and he didn't care about defense, which gave him enough playing time to brush up on statistics.
Now that the Wizards' goal has become to compete for the championship, Yang Rui naturally will not give Boozer too much playing time, otherwise the Wizards will definitely be unlucky in the playoffs.
During training, the Wizards began to practice new tactics with an unexpected tacit understanding.
Jordan played the low post like a fish in water, and the rhythm of the turnaround and backward jumper was perfect; Hornacek is well aware of Jazz coach Sloan's routine, and the proposed wing play Marshall is very familiar with and can be integrated into the system immediately; Wesley, Bale, and Leonard can also play to their strengths, and the tasks are relatively simple, receiving and shooting, moving the ball, and defending.
The substitute center forward was replaced by Xiaosi, who was much faster than Boozer, and the only weakness of this rotation lineup was long-range shooting, Alston and Hamilton could not shoot well, and Margeti improved slightly under the guidance of Hornacek, and only two points left and right 70 degrees could score.
Therefore, Yang Rui arranged for Alstom to play as fast as he could, playing like on a street court, without having to control the rhythm. This is very suitable, Alstom can't control the rhythm, so it's suitable for messing around.
On the 15th, the Wizards played the Raptors again.
The Wizards trailed by 8 points in the first quarter, and Jordan singled out Kirilenko, which was not very efficient.
In the bench competition, the Wizards beat the Raptors. Their counter-attacks were incisive, with centre-forward Stadamyre capable of playing fast.
The Wizards' tactic is to counterattack heads-up, take turns to play strongly, and do not wait for the opponent's joint defense to fall into position. Forced to play positional battles, there are also ways to score, and the Raptors meat shield center Jerome James has become a defensive hole, blocking and dismantling guards are not good, and they are not good at guarding the inside line.
In the second half, the Wizards rotated several players, and Boozer was also given the opportunity to play power forward. When he goes on with Stoudamire, the positional offense can be pulled apart, and the strong offense is also advantageous under the basket.
In the end, the Wizards defeated the Raptors 105-92 to end the losing streak.
The Raptors have changed significantly in the new season, Carlisle is not a coach who is good at arranging fast breaks, and is used to playing positional battles, which has led to a bit of conflict between the coaching staff and the players.
At the press conference, Carter implicitly expressed his dissatisfaction, believing that the Raptors and Yang Rui are completely incomparable at the time.
Carlisle can't say what all the Raptors players who have experienced winning the championship think, and so do the fans who are used to seeing the team's strongest offense. According to media analysis, Carlisle may be out of class after this season.
On a day off, the Wizards defeated the Hawks 109-99 on the road to snap a two-game winning streak.
The Wizards' offense is indeed better than before, Xiao Si is still the "little bully" in the bench lineup, the opponent's bench interior strength is weaker than the starter, and Xiao Si has more opportunities to play.
Hamilton also deserves the name "scalpel". This Eagles substitute played a small-ball tactic, and Yang Rui sent Boozer and Xiao Si to partner, and the positional battle was very sharp. Two inside lines for Hamilton to cover, he received the ball and shot accurately, passed to two inside lines misplaced and forced, one inside and one outside, so that the opponent could not be guarded.
Yang Rui did not relax his cultivation of Boozer, he can not only shoot in the wrong position in the high post, but also cut the basket at any time to play strongly, and can also respond to passes. He played two inside passes to Stadamyer, both of which resulted in assists.
On the team, Leitner is a center who can play with the attack, and as a senior, he teaches the newcomers something.
After two consecutive wins, Yang Rui clearly felt that the self-confidence of the newcomers had returned.
