Jerry Krauss held the phone for a moment before putting it down, furious. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info The bull was eliminated yesterday, and today he contacted Yang Rui and felt that this was sincerity.

How dare a young man underestimate him? Klaus immediately wanted to give Yang Rui some color to take a look and save face. But he thought and thought about it, and realized that he couldn't do anything.

Publicizing Yang Rui's refusal of the bull's invitation is to put gold on his face.

It is also meaningless to deny Yang Rui's coaching ability in an interview, his words are not authoritative, scouts from other teams will not believe it, and Yang Rui will not be less meaty.

Klaus is now hurt and has learned what it means to be a "tree falling apart". Some say he single-handedly created the Bulls dynasty, but he can't escape the team's ace of the team's sneering eyebrows, he won Manager of the Year twice, but after being eliminated this year, he was mercilessly booed by the fans.

Klaus always thought that he was the key figure of the Bulls, but the reality gave him a slap in the face, and Jordan was the "big tree" of the Bulls.

Even if the Raptors manager contacted him in advance, Yang Rui would not consider joining the Bulls and wading into this troubled water.

He knew the future of the Bulls, played badly in the shortened season, finished first in the East, drew the top pick, and selected Elton Brand.

Even if Brand was useless for two consecutive 20+10 eggs, the Bulls started a journey to the bottom for consecutive years, changing several head coaches until the 2004-2005 season, when they returned to the playoffs under the leadership of Skyles.

It is no exaggeration to say that the bulls in the past few years from 1998 to 2004 are about equal to the rotten 76ers in the future, and their annual work is to swing and draft, and then no matter which rookie the experts are optimistic about, they will also be selected to prove that everything is a floating cloud, and they just can't win.

In such a team, the manager is still very dragged, how can Yang Rui give a good face?

Yang Rui lay down and left the bull behind, Thomas went out to work, there was no one at home, and he slept until noon before he was woken up by Van Gundy's phone call.

"Jerry, have you eaten?"

"No, I'm getting ready to get up." Yang Rui sat up and looked at the table below, half past eleven.

"Let's come out and eat together and talk about the finals." Van Gundy couldn't be idle during the holiday, and said a Western restaurant.

Yang Rui immediately went out and arrived at the hotel after 10 minutes by car.

Van Gundy sat in his position, frowning, looking constipated, Yang Rui stepped forward and smiled: "Jeff, why do you still have this expression, we will definitely win against Jazz." ”

Van Gundy smiled wryly: "Even if we win the Jazz twice in the regular season, we can't say that we will win, right?" Patrick was there. ”

"It's the same without Patrick, because the Jazz's style of play is so monotonous. Don't you know what tactics they play? We just need to guard against pick-and-roll, what's so scary about Jazz? ”

Van Gundy didn't know when he started to like to hear Yang Rui say such crazy things, which made him feel at ease.

Yang Rui hit the nail on the head, the Knicks are probably the best team in the league in terms of pick-and-roll, and they just restrain the Jazz.

Van Gundy said: "The Jazz average 101 points per game in the regular season, the attack is not weak, except for Malone, the players shoot more evenly, I want to take man marking, wrap Malone, near the restricted area, release the air forward, what do you think?" ”

"Totally agree. Although the Jazz have a high shooting percentage, they have the fewest three-point shots in the league, and except for Malone, the offensive ability of others is not to be feared. If he shoots from mid-range, he will defend alone, and he will be a dead end when he enters the restricted area. ”

The two of them settled down on the tactics after lunch.

In two days, the Finals tickets were sold out, basketball experts and major media predicted the outcome of the game, and many people believed that the two sides were four or six open, and the Knicks only had a 40% chance of winning the championship.

Most fans are also optimistic that the Jazz will win the championship, and the Knicks have eliminated the popular Jordan and have been regarded as villains. The Jazz have advanced to the Finals for the second year in a row and seem to have more experience.

And the biggest reason for the Knicks' drop in support is Ewing's absence.

Without the regular season MVP, the Knicks only have one star left, Houston, and he is not very popular, he is only selected for the All-Star Game off the bench, and he has nothing to do if the fans choose him.

The Jazz looked like they had poor roster depth but no one underestimated them, and the Western Conference Finals swept the Lakers to add points.

Others have slammed the Knicks' salary, arguing that the league must introduce a reasonable collective bargaining agreement.

Columnist Marty Conlon posted: "This finals are not a fair contest. The Knicks don't care how much they spend, they just want results, they can bring in more good role players and strengthen the bench depth. And the Jazz owners are reluctant to pay their stars, and the combined salaries of Malone, Stockton, and Hornacek are not as good as Ewing. ”

Marty is not on the side of labor and management, but feels that this model is unreasonable.

Indeed, Malone, who won the regular season MVP last season, has a salary of only 5.12 million, Stockton 5 million, and Hornacek 4 million. Brian Russell, the fourth core of the team, is not as good as Knicks substitute swingman Chris Mills at 2.86 million.

The Jazz have a total salary of only $28.51 million, which makes it impossible for them to find good replacements for the three elders, and only a group of base-salary role players to support them, almost all of them blue-collar.

The Knicks' total salary is 53.97 million, nearly double that of the Jazz, and all 13 players can rotate in the playoffs, which is more than enough for two sets of lineups. Even without Ewing, the Knicks lineup doesn't suffer.

Many people are dissatisfied with the NBA, mainly because of the cruelty of reality, in the 90s, it was almost impossible for a team that was reluctant to spend money to win a championship.

More than ten years later, these people will find that the future will be more cruel, spending money may not be able to win the championship, and if they want to win the championship, they have to form a team.

The Jazz are under a lot of pressure, and while most are optimistic about them winning the championship, the coaching staff led by Jerry Sloan is not confident of winning.

After watching the Eastern Conference Finals, they all realized the shortcomings of their own team, and like the Bulls, their center was too slow.

Ostertag was played by guards during the regular season, so Sloan started Greg Foster for 49 games.

THE 30-YEAR-OLD, 211CM TALL AND WEIGHING 109 KILOGRAMS, FOSTER MOVES SLIGHTLY FASTER AND HAS NO OFFENSIVE POWER, REACHING THE PEAK OF HIS CAREER THIS SEASON, AVERAGING 5.7 POINTS AND 3.5 REBOUNDS PER GAME.

In order to strengthen the offense, Sloan often asked Malone to play a cameo role as a center at a certain time, playing small-ball tactics.

To make matters worse, forward Adam Keefe, who started 75 games in the regular season, was confirmed to miss the Finals. He had an injury at the end of the regular season and played a few games in the playoffs that worsened the injury, with a playoff stat of just 2.1 points and 2.3 rebounds.

THE 206CM, WEIGHING 104 KG, IS AN IMPORTANT ROTATION PLAYER, AND NOW THERE ARE ONLY NINE PEOPLE LEFT FOR THE JAZZ TO PLAY.

After the discussion, Sloan decided to start with Foster, Russell, who was originally responsible for leading the bench offense in the second quarter, as the starting small forward, and the sixth man was handed over to point guard Howard Easley.

As for the second quarter tactics, do you still need to ask? Of course, it's a block!
