Chapter 585 [Victory Guaranteed, the Overall Situation Has Been Decided]
In the NBA, Yang Rui already has six championship rings, and it is only a matter of time before he becomes the first in history, but if he can't win a gold medal on the international stage, then there will always be people who are not convinced and jump out to find faults.
In Yang Rui's previous life, Coach K was blown up by many fans because he led the United States team to win the 2008 and 2012 Olympic championships and the 2010 and 2014 World Championships, plus his achievements in the NCAA, as if no one in the NBA could compare to him, because several NBA coaches could only be assistants to him.
Is winning the championship really the biggest credit of Lao K? The European team in the two World Championships did not send the strongest lineup, and the lineup of the United States team in the 08 and 12 Olympic Games, O'Neal's grandmother seems to be able to come out and play a dozen again to enhance her historical status......
Now, Yang Rui's goal is to take over the coaching whip of the American team, seize the opportunity of Lao K, and step on Lao K's position, this summer is the best time, the fire burned by the fans is not strong enough, he wants to stand up and pour some oil.
Yang Rui personally sent Scarlett to the fitness center to lose weight, and he took two bodyguards to a nearby open-air café to rest, which attracted two Los Angeles reporters after a while.
At this sensitive time, the main topic of the reporter's interview is, of course, this World Championships.
Yang Rui commented on the match: "They played badly against Greece, I watched that game, it was unbelievably bad. The U.S. team has physical and technical advantages in every position, but they simply can't play it. ”
The reporter asked: "If you lead the team, are you confident that you will win the championship?" ”
"If I had coached the Dream Team, of course I would have won the championship, and it would have been very easy."
The reporter asked excitedly: "What will you do?" ”
"Starting Paul, Joe Johnson, Battier, Anthony, Howard. The three of them opened up and waited for the opportunity to shoot, Paul and Howard blocked and dismantled in the middle, Paul broke through, and Howard quickly went down. With this move alone, other teams are not easy to defend, because Howard is the fastest in the center, Paul attracts the switch and throws the ball into the air, and the inside line can't block the air cut and dunk. With two stable three-point points on the periphery, Anthony can hold the ball and play alone, with a clear advantage. ”
The reporter asked in surprise: "Do you want James and Wade to play as substitutes?" He's the captain of the Dream 6 team, huh? ”
"Blocking and pick-and-roll in the middle is my favorite tactic, and it's easy to let other people start, Hinrich, Wade, James, Anthony, Brand, small-ball tactics, quick counterattacks. Brand is responsible for protecting the backcourt rebound, Hinrich passes, and the three of them go down the fast break with their individual ability, and the opponent is difficult to defend. After falling into the position, James organized the forward, Hinrich attracted the defense outside the three-point line in the bottom corner, and Brand covered Wade's offense on the side, increased breakthroughs, went down, brought out the physical advantages, and the organization point was not wrong, and it was sure to win. ”
The reporter asked: "Would you like to coach the American team?" ”
"I said yes, but no one invited me, maybe some people just like to watch a group of stars lose? 08 Beijing Olympics as long as I lead the team, I will easily win the championship, but unfortunately I don't count. Some fans may think I'm bragging, but I really think it's much easier to take so many stars out for a lap than to win a championship in the NBA. ”
Yang Rui didn't save any face for Lao K, he had to win this opportunity, he wanted to win the gold medal, so that fans would remember him for a lifetime, and they would think of him when basketball was mentioned in the future.
Evaluating this Dream Six team is of course "hindsight", standing and talking is not too painful, Lao K has no way to refute him, unless he continues to lead the national team two years later and wins the championship, will the Basketball Association give him this opportunity?
The American people like basketball a lot, and Yang Rui came out to brush up on his presence, which immediately resonated, and countless fans angrily sprayed the Basketball Association.
It's not just the Chinese Basketball Association that will be sprayed and produce results, and the United States is the same. Especially the game where the team is very strong, but the loss to the weak team is even more infuriating.
Just like the Chinese team lost to the United States by 40 or 50 points, Chinese fans will not have an opinion, and the difference in strength is there. But when we lost to South Korea in the 2002 Busan Asian Games, everyone couldn't accept it.
Yang Rui's words were to throw explosives into the fire, and American fans blew up, they didn't want to believe that the American team was no longer the hegemon in the international basketball world, and they desperately wanted them to return to the top.
Major TV stations have sent reporters to interview NBA players and celebrities, asking them to evaluate the World Championships and seek a way out.
Although the players who participated in the World Championships did not say anything bad about Lao K, several people also expressed that Yang Rui is a better coach, and Paul, Brad Miller, Joe Johnson, and Howard all admired Yang Rui.
There are also a few people who continue to brag about Lao K's excellence, but unfortunately the fans don't believe it. If "Old K" is really so good, why not coach an NBA team?
In Yang Rui's previous life, some people questioned Lao K's coaching level, especially his on-the-spot adaptability. His record of leading Duke to the NCAA Finals 10 times is impressive, but let's not forget that Duke is one of the best universities in the United States and the best private university in the South, ranking in the top 10 in the United States for a long time, and at one point in the top 5 from 2002 to 2007.
Duke can attract more excellent high school players to join, can such a school basketball standard be poor?
In the field of college basketball coaching, K has probably won more awards than anyone else. He was voted the National Coach of the Year 12 times and was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2001. Under his leadership, the Duke team has won more than 800 games.
However, Lao K has led the team to the NCAA finals ten times and only won three NCAA championships, is the 30% success rate very high? In Yang Rui's previous life, James, who entered the finals 8 times and won the championship 3 times, was spewed out of the ......
With Lao K's fame, it's easy to join the NBA as an executive president, and he can get support, he just doesn't want to go.
To put it bluntly, he doesn't have the confidence to coach an NBA team, he gets a lot of salary in the NCAA, and he faces a group of obedient children, how easy is it? When you go to the NBA as a coach, the owner, the general manager, the team's big-name stars, and media reporters, there is one aspect that is not handled well is annoying.
As soon as Yang Rui spoke, Lao K was slapped in the face like Larry Brown in 04, and his fan cowhide was a little unbearable. In the NCAA, you can say that Lao K is the best, but if anyone says that he is stronger than Yang Rui, Yang Mi will make them bear face every minute......
After Lao K saw the evaluation on the Internet, the pressure doubled, he really wanted to lead the team to win the championship in 2008 to prove himself, but he didn't dare to say in an interview, and he couldn't say that he would win next time, and he had fallen behind compared with Yang Rui.
He is not a reborn person, and he does not dare to make a guarantee like Yang Rui. Although he could guess that it would be much easier for the U.S. to win next time, because the losing streak would spur the NBA's big-name stars, and there would be more strongmen willing to join the national team next time.
If he leads the team to another defeat in the Olympics, he will become a sinner in American basketball. And Yang Rui has already spoken, leading the team to win the championship, people will definitely compare the two, and there will not be many fans in 2008 who support him as the coach.
The head of the American Basketball Association was also helpless, they found that the next dream team really had to find Yang Rui to coach, and other coaches might not dare to take this hot yam.
Other coaches lead the team, and it is normal to win the game, but they can't slap Yang Rui in the face, because everyone knows that there is a team of NBA All-Stars in the United States, and if you lose, you will be ruined, and the benefits and risks are not equal.
After Yang Rui was interviewed, he knew that the overall situation had been decided, and the Basketball Association would contact him sooner or later. He went home to continue his vacation, hiding his merits and fame. In the 2008 Olympic Games, he knew that he did not have the ability to lead the Chinese team to win the championship, but it was not bad to lead this group of Americans to win gold medals at home.
