On the 25th, Yang Rui and Thomas Bentley did not attend any parties, and ate Lao Mei's favorite Chinese dish Kung Pao Chicken at home and watched a basketball game for the holiday. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The NBA's selection criteria for the annual Christmas game team lies in a "grudge". Or the public arena where popular stars compete for popularity and market, all in order to attract attention.

Two games are scheduled this year, Bulls vs Heat, Rockets vs Jazz.

Of course, the Heat and the Knicks are more in line with the standards of the enemy, but the feud is too big, and the league does not dare to arrange for them to compete on this day, for fear that the Knicks will beat PJ Brown and crucify him.

The Heat are 17-8, the Bulls are 17-9, and without Pippen, the Bulls have indeed dropped a lot, losing only 10 games that season.

Facing the trident of Mourning, Hardaway, and Mashburn, Jordan led the team independently and won 90-80. The Bulls are conceding only 90.7 points per game and can still win on defense.

Thomas said after watching the game: "This year, the Bulls and the Heat don't seem to be good, the game is really boring, or the Knicks are good-looking and score more." ”

"The Knicks are still too conservative, and if the tactics are all in my hands, I will score more." Yang Rui smiled: "This year, the Knicks are likely to win the championship, but Jordan is not good." ”

The top two in the east are still old-school play, positional warfare, and defense.

Jordan can score a lot of points, but people can see his regression, the ability to attract the bag has declined, and many shots are turning jumpers after holding the ball in the low post.

Back-to-back play is a very important technique, but the most efficient way to play on the basketball court is always a running tactic, or a heads-up after a clear alignment advantage and a misalignment.

Jordan, who can't attract the pack, doesn't have much dominance because he barely shoots three-pointers. This season, he averaged 28 points per game and had to take 23 shots, and his offensive efficiency was actually not as good as Bryant, who did not lead the Lakers to the playoffs in the 2004-2005 season in Yang Rui's previous life.

Thomas suddenly asked, "Jerry, how are you and that schoolgirl?" ”

"Which one?" Yang Rui was stunned.

"The snack bar, she seems to like you very much, don't you often go to the snack bar to find her? Part-time work, hard work, nice people. ”

"No, we're just ordinary friends." Yang Rui knew that it was Xiao Xiao who was talking about, and shook his head. He really just went to eat.

Thomas laughed, "Didn't you like that kind of good baby before?" ”

"What I need most now is a career, before becoming a head coach, I didn't want to be distracted from falling in love, and I don't like that kind of ...... now" The English title of good baby made Yang Rui embarrassed.

"You have to have fun in time, and when you're old, you may feel that work isn't the most important thing."

Thomas was a playboy in college, he played crazy, and now he also contacts a lot of people, he doesn't have a fixed girlfriend, Yang Rui goes out to play away, and he often goes home to pick up people.

Jerry has always been alone, which led to the previous gossip media suspecting that they were gay, which made Thomas a little devastated, and wanted him to find one quickly.

Yang Rui didn't have this idea, because he didn't want to stay in the Knicks for too long, so he said perfunctorily: "I won't miss it when I meet someone I like." ”

After Christmas, on the 27th, the Knicks fought the Raptors again and won easily 114-97.

Ewing had 29 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists, and Camby, who had 9 points and 6 rebounds, was the same as he did against the Raptors last time.

Houston scored 21 points and was a solid second-scoring pointer.

"Little Flying Squirrel" Stoudamire felt hot, scored 30 points and 5 rebounds, and helped the team top three quarters. The Knicks stepped up their defense of perimeter shooting, and the Raptors were dumb in the final quarter.

The lack of interior offense is the main reason why the Raptors have not been able to improve their record, and after this game, they are 3-25 and at the bottom of the league and go straight to the top pick.

After the game, Raptors manager Glenn Gruward was called into the office by owner Richard Pedy and counted down.

"I'd love to pick the top pick next season, but not in the worst way in NBA history. Can they win more than 10 games? Why not trade Damon yet? ”

Glen Khan said: "Trading Camby and Stoudamire doesn't get any strongmen back at all, and I want to wait until the end of the season to trade. ”

Richard roared: "What if the league shuts down next summer? How else do you trade? If you don't trade, this kid has to make a fuss for a season, and then you can trade him in the middle of the season, find someone who can defend, or find someone with a contract year. ”

Players with a contract year can not renew their contracts if they don't play well, freeing up salary space, but this is tantamount to giving the other party a second-rate star with super strong data for nothing.

The management now hates Stadamire to the point where it goes. He is a rookie handpicked by former manager Isaiah "The Smiling Assassin" Thomas, and now Thomas is out of the way, and there is no need to give him face anymore.

Glenn could only bite the bullet and say, "I'll think about it." ”

"Give me a plan as soon as possible and don't let me see him after the star game." Richard is very tough and leaves no room for error.

Glenn didn't voice his concerns. Stoudeyer is already the best offensive player for the Raptors right now, and if he is gone, will the team still have offensive power in the second half of the season? How can you win if you can't break the opponent's defensive system?

Maddie is just a defensive player right now, and Raptors management is optimistic about his quality, but doesn't think he can score many points. Christie is also defense-oriented, and it is difficult to ensure the shooting percentage when he shoots.

Glenn suspects that if he sends away Stadamyre and can't pick an offensive rookie next year, he may be fired next season, and the Raptors will become the worst offensive team in the league.

At this time, he remembered Yang Rui again and made a call to his assistant. "Jimmy, have you investigated Jerry Young's details? Did the Knicks' offensive tactics be arranged by him? ”

Jimmy Walker replied: "Definitely, the player and Van Gundy have praised him, and there have been interviews in the media, he is the team's number one assistant in charge of attack. ”

"The Knicks' strong offensive power this season must have something to do with their strong lineup...... If Jerry Young were to coach the Raptors next year, what do you think he could do with the team? Glenn asked.

"How do I know that? If there are no players willing to join, our squad is still so bad, it doesn't matter who comes, right? Jimmy smiled wryly.

Glenn sighed. "Let's do it for now, keep an eye on the Knicks, and when we're done this season, I'll call him myself and try his tone, and he should be interested in going from assistant to head coach. Even if you don't play well, at least you can attract Chinese fans. ”

Jimmy exclaimed, "Are you really going to look for him?" He'll only be 24 next year and have no experience at all. ”

"Or else? Will big-name coaches come to the Raptors? ”

Of course not, the Raptors have never attracted big-name players or coaches from the time of the establishment of the team to the rebirth of Yang Rui.

The Raptors manager took a fancy to Yang Rui and was ready to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
