Chapter 217 [Rush Bubble Dragon, Iron-Blooded Big Jumper]

The Trail Blazers' lineup this season is recognized as strong, and in the summer, the word "most" should be added in front of the strong. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

In the center position, there is the veteran Sabonis, who is an excellent meat shield; The substitute is Marcus Camby, the star of the 96 golden generation, a young blue-collar who is good at grabbing rebounds and helping to defend blocks.

The starting power forward is Rasheed Wallace, an all-round fighter who is good both offensively and defensively, and many basketball experts consider him to be the No. 4 in the league's top five; Bench Brian Grant, steady mid-range shot, excellent defense, and good at rebounding.

Small forward Scott Pippen, who has locked up a spot among the league's top 50 superstars, is a super wing defender and organizes forwards.

Shooting guard Steve Smith, known for his jump shot and a smooth fake turn stunt, averaged 20+ points per game in two seasons and was selected for an All-Star Game.

The swingman substitute Bunch Wells is super impactful, and the veteran Stesi Ogmund is experienced.

The starting point guard is "Flying Squirrel" Damon Stadamyre, the backup "Bug" Margesy Boggs, and the team's third point guard veteran Greg Anthony, who had an excellent performance of 14 points and 6.9 assists in the Grizzlies in the 95-96 season.

Like the Raptors, the Trail Blazers play a lot and can make a difference. The difference is that Trail Blazers coach Mike Dunleavy puts more emphasis on defense, averaging 98 points per game and conceding 91 points per game.

The Trail Blazers have a 24-6 record and are behind the Lakers and second in the West, while the Spurs and Jazz are 10-loss and have fallen behind. The Trail Blazers' goal is to have the best regular season record in the West, and they must fight for every win in order to have a playoff advantage and not be left behind by the Lakers.

When the team arrived in Toronto, Dunleavy first emphasized discipline, requiring all players to stay in hotels at night, not go out to nightclubs, and play as if they were playoffs.

Dunleavy wanted to beat Yang Rui more than any other coach.

Last season, the Trail Blazers improved their record, and Dunleavy ranked second in the best coach selection, and if it weren't for Yang Rui leading the Raptors to the scene, he would have won the highest honor as a coach. Without the title of best coach, you can't really step into the ranks of famous coaches. It became a thorn in his heart.

Yang Rui is also eager to win, but he does not mention the victory or defeat in training, relieving the pressure on the players. He didn't schedule a matchup, and the core players all practiced three-pointers, especially Maddy, Carter, and Miller.

The Trail Blazers' defense is very tight, and the outside line must be shot away, so that the opponent does not dare to shrink too much, so that there is space to break through and score the basket in a misplaced position.

It is not easy to defend the Trail Blazers' small fast point guard, Yang Rui talks to O'Neal Jr. alone, and this time he will arrange tactics for him. On both ends of the floor, his role is crucial.

After chatting a few words, Yang Rui found that little O'Neill actually had a knot, he didn't know how to fight correctly, and the recent media evaluation of him was not high, which made him very depressed and a little confused.

O'Neal Jr. has improved significantly, averaging 18.3 points, 8 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game, but he has received far inferior evaluations to Maddie and Carter. No one said that he was the successor of a well-known insider, only that he was soft. The media said, the celebrities said, and the fans also said.

Carter and Maddie were among the best in star voting, and eighty percent of them started. O'Neal Jr. received the number of votes outside of the starting line-up, and it is not known whether he will be selected as a substitute.

He aspires to be a star and a sought after, but the reality is that his sneaker contracts are far worse than those of the two brothers. In fact, this is normal, interior players are not as good as outside players to sell shoes.

People are more dead than people, in Yang Rui's previous life, O'Neal Jr. also started the star game, and he was very popular, because he was the boss of the Pacers, and he was the most passionate and data-oriented person in the team. Now that he's partnered with Carter and Maddie, the style of play doesn't look so appealing, and it's not the core.

When people talk about O'Neal Jr., the most common thing they say is "He's so soft, he's a 211CM shooting guard." "He's really soft, and he looks soft, like a child."

As a result, O'Neal Jr. wanted to show his toughness in many games, trying to hit the basket as much as possible, instead of waiting for the ball back after covering and misplaced jump shots. Even so, the media assessment has not changed.

Yang Rui started ideological work for him. "Jermaine, I need you to play as misplaced as possible this time, and don't insist on going head-to-head with Rashid. On the defensive end you're also key, changing gears and picking up quickly. Don't judge in the world of accidents, it's all about winning. ā€

The point guards of the Trail Blazers are very thin, and switching defenses after misalignment is a weakness, and in the absence of Billups, they have to bully the small man on the inside.

O'Neal Jr. smiled bitterly: "Jerry, the fans always say that I am soft, I have increased the air cut and low post attack, they still say so, is there any way to change everyone's opinion?" ā€

Yang Rui thought for a while, and said, "Yes, every time you dunk, you stretch your neck and roar; With each jump shot, you crane your neck and roar; With every successful defense, you crane your neck and roar. I suggest you also add a chest-pounding motion, or a cushion that slams the hoop after a normal layup. ā€

Little O'Neill Khan said: "Don't be kidding, can you seriously help out and find a way?" Doesn't that make me imitate Garnett? ā€

Yang Rui rolled his eyes. "Am I not serious enough? Garnett is skinnier than you, has fewer blocks than you, and shoots more jumpers than you, have you ever seen someone say he's soft? Don't you want to upgrade your soft ass jumper to an iron-blooded jumper? ā€

Little O'Neill couldn't help but laugh. "That...... Is there any other way? ā€

"There is another way, go to plastic surgery, make your baby face more fierce, the simple thing is to hire a makeup artist, draw a scar on your face, from the eyes to the corners of the mouth, and then bring a bucktooth braces to the field." Yang Rui gestured at the position of the scar.

It would indeed be very intimidating to make his face look like a "double-knife turkey", but little O'Neill didn't think so, and his mouth opened into an O-shape.

Yang Rui sighed: "Give up, Rashid Wallace roared as a roar of Tianzun, and Garnett roared as a wolf king, all because of his looks." The way you roared...... How do you describe it? I really don't want to irritate you, do you play PS? Did you know that there is a game called Bubble Bobble? There's a little black dragon in it, and when it's fighting, it will shout because of Gollum, Ayioga that ......"

Little O'Neill's jaw hit the top of his foot, and there was a black line at his end.

That's too detailed, isn't it? Is this still called not wanting to irritate me? Am I this kind of bubble dragon?

Yang Rui had a peaceful face and said earnestly: "So, my advice is to fight according to tactics and don't care about those gossips and the ridicule of the enemy." ā€

O'Neill Jr.: The enemy didn't laugh at me, you were the one who laughed at me.

"Don't care about those guys who look at people with colored glasses, the results speak for themselves, they're just some rubbish who blush at our results and lick the bear's face."

O'Neill Jr.: It's clear you're the guy who looks at people with colored glasses, right? What is a waste licking the face of a bear, is there such an adjective in English? Isn't it time for me to change my dictionary?

In any case, after the conversation, O'Neill Jr. gave up the idea of proving tough, so let's go with the tactics.

After all, it's a world of faces.
