Chapter 159 [Thick Ancient and Thin Modern, Unable to Evaluate]

The Raptors returned home, and the opponent on the 19th was the Orlando Magic. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

It was a crucial regular season game, and the Magic finished fifth behind the Raptors by half a game, and if they lose this game again, the Raptors will fall out of the top four.

Yang Rui doesn't want to enter the playoffs and only go through the playoffs and be eliminated in the first round to go home to fish, so he attaches great importance to the home advantage in the first round. Under the premise of a best-of-five system in the first round, home field advantage is likely to determine the final result.

Before the game, Yang Rui walked into the locker room and announced loudly: "There are 11 games left, we have to work hard to improve the record, and there will be no more squad rotation in the future." We should not have the idea of choosing an opponent, and we must have the confidence to win any opponent. ”

"Okay." The players responded together, the momentum was good, the young people were a little good, and the calves were born without fear of tigers.

Yang Rui continued: "I have always said to the outside world that there is no goal of performance, in fact, it is to relieve pressure for everyone, just like I often eat on the sidelines, definitely not because I am a foodie, I am for your good, but also for you to relieve pressure." Otherwise, the newcomer may not be able to let go, and the start will not be able to let go, and it will be more difficult to play later. It's time to tense your nerves and give your all to each one. Vince, what do you think the team's goals should be? ”

"Overall Champion!" Carter replied loudly. When eating and chatting alone, Yang Rui had already talked to him about this.

"That's right, the goal is to win to the end, so you don't have to think about who your opponent is in each round, who you want to see and who you want to kill. We don't have pressure, most of us are new to the league, it's a miracle to win, and we can afford to lose. ”

Yang Rui is still decompressing, the Raptors lack experience in the playoffs, and they must dare to fight in order to play their strength.

The Raptors must win this game, and when the Raptors lost to the Magic, Yang Rui was very depressed, because the opponent did not have a star, even Anfernee Hardaway, the data is not as good as Maddy.

Chuck Daly is widely regarded as a super-coach, and his role in the hearts and minds of the stars was evident from his coaching of the Dream Team at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics.

Daley made this magic a success, he was a straightforward guy who hated red tape. Ask questions, solve problems. Look at the schedule, play the game, win, and don't find a reason to lose.

He said that players can win by doing three things well: finding good opportunities to pitch, returning quickly and getting in position.

He doesn't like to put on a show, never talks nonsense to the media, and works more than 10 hours a day, preparing for every game, making plans, and communicating with assistant coaches.

The way he led his team to win was brutal, and he wanted his players to be as ferocious on defense as they were to their father's killers.

He once explained how to make physical contact with Jordan: "Anytime he passes you, you have to hit him. If he has a chance after blocking the pick-and-roll, hit him. We don't want to be dirty, I know some people think we play dirty, but we have to stress the physical. ”

In short, Daley is a crazy perfectionist, and this personality causes him to hate Yang Rui very much. Yang Rui's idea of happy basketball is contrary to his idea.

Not long ago, Daley was interviewed and unabashedly criticized Yang Rui: "Jerry Yang, like most young people, has a frivolous personality. He simply didn't put all his passion into the basketball court, and the word people say most about him is genius, not his hard work. I haven't seen any news about him working overtime in the arena, and he's arranging the players to train at the lowest intensity in the league, and he's more like he's giving everything to the players. I don't think he's a good coach. ”

Yang Rui couldn't evaluate Daley, even if a reporter asked, he was perfunctory.

This is a difficult question to answer, the status of the two is not equal, and no matter how you answer, it is wrong, because the other party is an old handsome.

If he preaches Daley, Yang Rui feels uncomfortable, why does the other party look at him unpleasantly, and he still has to use his hot face to stick to people's cold butts? Isn't it uncomfortable to abuse it?

He also can't belittle Daley, which would put him in opposition to all the old coaches, and offend a lot of NBA players, especially those who retired in the '8 and '90s, and the results he can't afford.

Thick and thin, is a major feature of the NBA. Players praise old players, old coaches, people will say that he respects his predecessors; Whoever dares to belittle the old players and coaches, even if what they say is the truth, will definitely be sprayed into a brainless sunspot.

The guidance of public opinion is like this, and no one can change it. The only thing Yang Rui can do is to lead the team to win the game, not to compare with Daley, and let others say go.

Players from both sides came out to warm up, and Maddie and "Penny" Hardaway greeted each other. Before Maddie entered the league, Hardaway was his idol, and the two were somewhat similar in size, and Maddie was all-around because he imitated Hardaway's play.

Yang Rui doesn't plan to let Maddie start today, he has to fight against his idol later.

The two sides started the game, and Yang Rui sent Di Blan, Christie, Carter, O'Neal Jr., and Cato.

Magic Five: Darrell Armstrong, Anfernee Hardaway, Matt Harprin, Horace Grant, Isaac Austin.

In order to defend against the 183CM speed guard Armstrong, Yang Rui did not let Billups start, indicating that he intends to fight with the Magic on defense, rather than counterattacking.

On the court, Yang Rui saw Daley's method of using point guards clearly, there are four people who quickly return to defense and fill in at any time, even if the point guard is thin and poor in defense, he will not be caught by others.

The Raptors are mainly quick to counterattack, and once the shooting percentage is not high, they will be in trouble. The Magic players will slow down the tempo and try to run out of 24 seconds per round, making the Raptors impatient. Other teams play against the Raptors, and now they basically play this way. This time, Yang Rui is also ready to play slowly.

Cato jumps the ball and the game begins.

Carter took the ball in the middle to face Hardaway, and the middle and O'Neal Jr. blocked and cooperated, and Grant changed the defense in time.

"Cobra" is a famous interior blue-collar in the NBA, who has won three consecutive championships with the Bulls. HE IS 208CM TALL, WEIGHS 98 KG, AND AT THE AGE OF 34 HE STILL MAINTAINS A STRONG MOBILITY. Carter couldn't break through, and the ball was split to the middle, and O'Neal Jr. was close to Hardaway, and it was difficult to shoot, and then passed to the side to Di Blon.

Armstrong bypassed the cover and blocked in time, and DeBron had to control the ball from the perimeter and find his team-mate.

Armstrong has clearly benefited from Daley's tenure as a player, and the boss has taught him a lot of things, turning him from a fringe substitute to a qualified starter, and he is highly motivated defensively, fast in defence, and plays with his agility.

The back and forth pass almost ran out for 24 seconds, and the Raptors didn't find a good opportunity, and O'Neal Jr. singled out Grant and turned around to shoot wide. Austin grabbed the backcourt rebound and passed to Hardaway, who passed straight to Halprin, and the Magic counterattacked.

Halprin dribbled into the three-point line with his body against Christie, held the ball with both hands like a football game, and rushed to the basket with his head down.

Christie couldn't stand it and pulled a foul before the opponent could shoot.

Halprin made one of two free throws to make it 0-1.
