At the post-match press conference, in the face of questions from the media, Yang Rui praised the players. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

'I believe in the players who can get fit and I believe in Kevin Cato, who can help the team defensively, it's just that in a new environment he needs time to get used to. I offered to trade him for him, so I don't regret it and I'm sure he'll help the team more than John Wallace in the future. ”

The reporter asked, "Is it true that you and John Wallace are at odds?" ”

"No, it's just that he doesn't fit well into the Raptors system and wants to get more plays, so he traded. I wish him a higher level in the future. ”

The reporter asked: "How are you going to adjust next?" Now teams are looking at the Raptors' counter-attack play, and you've lost a lot of games in the last two weeks. ”

"Confidentiality, one thing is for sure, we won't lose all the time."

After the game, Glenn approached Yang Rui and said: "We can still bring in reinforcements now, if there is a difficulty, we can fight for another person in the free market, is it necessary?" ”

Yang Rui refused. "There is no need to trade, 14 people are enough, a lot of people haven't played much before, I want to develop new players, so the time for them to play is too short, and then I have a way to adjust."

After the second day of training, Yang Rui gathered the players and proposed a lineup rotation style of play.

"I know you're tired, but there's no time for you to adjust, and then it's three back-to-backs, one day apart, four fights in five days, and that's what we're facing. Fitness meant we couldn't play the perfect run, so I planned to have everyone rest separately. ”

Thibodeau sent each player a printed form with Yang Rui's proposed time off.

Maddie raised her hand and asked, "Coach, I won't be in the 12-man squad when I play the Hornets?" Holiday? ”

"That's right, you rest, the Hornets are not strong, 6-13 only, it's not a problem to deal with them resting two people at all, Willis is also resting, the Hornets' interior line mainly relies on pulling out to cover and shooting, and the speed of changing defenses is more important."

Willis asked: "If you put people on the pitch according to the situation of the opponent's lineup, if it doesn't suit us, you can take a rotation, right?" ”

'That's right, that's it, it's going to be easier and not getting hurt less. Players who have played less before, you have to try to prove yourself, as long as you play well, you may not be able to become a starter. Are you confident of winning? ”

"Yes!" The loudest shouts are those marginal people who have played for a short time.

Yang Rui's adjustment not only allows the starters to recover their strength, but also stimulates the team's morale. No one wants to be a marginal person all the time, the Raptors used to be a ten-man rotation, and four people watched the excitement, so they had to change.

Yang Rui understands that he can't always judge the strength of players based on the memory of his previous life, and people who can play in the NBA have some specialties, and he has to make use of these specialties. Just like the Magic, in his opinion, the lineup is not in the flow, Chuck Daley still has a way to win, and that's the role of the coach.

Before the deadline, many teams have to make reinforcements, and the Hornets have a big trade.

The Lakers traded star guard Eddie Jones for Hornets star Glen Rice.

It's a win-win deal, the Hornets need a core that is good at attacking with the ball, and the Lakers need a consistent three-point shooter, and their loss to the Jazz last season was a lack of three-point points, and O'Neal attracted the bag on the inside, and his teammates couldn't shoot it out.

Jones left Los Angeles to develop into a small team like the Hornets, and he was in a bad mood, turning his grief and anger into strength, and he worked very hard defensively.

Carter played his worst game under Jones' defense, shooting 1-of-9, 0-of-1 from three-point range, and 1-of-2 from the free-throw line, scoring only 3 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.

Jones had 13 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals, and his offensive performance was decent.

In other positions, the Raptors took the initiative, and Detrev exploded, shooting 10 of 15, 4 of 6 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws, scoring 26 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, revitalizing the whole team.

DeBrown hit three three-pointers and several rebounding layups to finish with 17 points, two rebounds and two assists, while Billups shot 5-of-11, 2-of-5 three-pointers and 4-of-4 free throws to finish with 16 points and five assists.

Ryan Bowen, John Thomas, Alvin Williams, Miller and others all got a lot of playing time.

Miller had 8 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists, and his style of play imitated Detreve, pulling to the perimeter to block and dismantle, catching and shooting, and playing high and perimeter when he didn't have a chance.

It was supposed to be a task for Maddy and Carter, and Miller and Detreve also completed it well, and the Raptors were not bad offensively when they were rested.

The Raptors are 95-82 and have won two in a row.

Many media are still not optimistic about the Raptors, believing that the two opponents who won the game are weak teams, and they will be exposed as soon as they meet a strong team.

The New York media has recently begun to turn to Van Gundy, saying that Yang Rui's style of play is paranoid and cannot lead the team to a championship by attacking alone.

This is how the Knicks management saved themselves, owner James Dolan began to be dissatisfied with the operation of the team, he didn't care about the money, he wanted the team to win the championship, the game was played beautifully, now spending more money than last season, the offense is not as good as last season, what's going on?

The New York media is trying to calm down the fans, and there are people booing the home team every game, which is too discordant. In order to appease the fans, they can only disparage the Raptors, saying that it is an accident that they can only play this kind of performance in a shortened season.

Whether it's a coincidence or not, the record will speak for itself.

On the 16th, the Raptors faced the Nets back-to-back.

The Nets also just completed a three-way trade, getting Timberwolves' Stephen Marbury, Timberwolves getting Bucks point guard Terrell Brandon, and Bucks getting Nets point guard Sam Cassel.

The biggest feature of this deal is that no one wins, the Nets have a 3-17 record, and they are at the bottom of the East with the Bulls, and Marbury wants to leave the bitter cold land of Minnesota and return to his hometown of New York in addition to a high salary. Although New Jersey is a river away from New York, joining the Nets and the Knicks are completely two different concepts.

Marbury joins the bad team, and it is difficult to lead the Nets to rise.

Kassel's serious injury season has been reimbursed, and the Bucks poached him purely to get rid of Brandon, a small guard who is weak offensively and defensively, and Cassell will have to play for the team next season.

The Timberwolves were the worst, sending away a star-caliber point guard in exchange for a defensive black hole. Their only purpose in this move is to clear salary space after the season, and even if they don't trade, they don't have room to give Marbury a big contract, and then they can only let it go for nothing, and it is better to trade it.

In this game, O'Neill Jr. and Billups took turns resting.

Carter regained his senses and chipped in 20 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists, Maddy also had 16 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, Christie 17 points, De Brons 15 points, and Willis 12 points, 13 rebounds and 3 blocks.

The Raptors defeated the Nets 100-85 and came out of the slump with three straight wins.
