This Clippers team is much worse than Yang Rui's previous life, without Margetty and Brand, the two major scorers, leaving the blacksmith Quentin Richardson who plays very unreasonably, and the outside core is actually Bobby Simmons.

Simmons was with the Wizards in 2002 and was a second-round pick in 2001. At that time, Yang Rui didn't look down on him at all, and as an addition to Margety, he was sent to the Clippers with Kwame Brown. Due to the lack of offensive points for the Clippers, Simmons has averaged 16.5 points, 6 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game this season.

03 Rookie Chris Carman is even more fierce, and he has been privileged this season, averaging 18.1 points, 11 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.8 blocks per game, playing star statistics.

However, because of the presence of Kwame Brown, Carman played as a power forward, and both of them were tonnage insiders, slow to change defenses, and forced together to form twin towers, and the outside defense was very bad.

The media rarely said good things about Kaman, and some simply called him a defensive black hole.

In the face of a weak team with poor defense, Yang Rui gave another tactic of not defending, playing as fast as he could, and gambling steals on the defensive end, the game looked like an all-star.

Kobe Bryant scored 44 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, 40+ in two consecutive games, and continued to lead the scoring list.

Yao Ming scored only 10 points in the fast-break strategy, he grabbed the rebound and was responsible for a pass, often just running past half court, and his teammates had already shot. But he played 35 minutes, grabbed 19 rebounds, including 17 backcourt rebounds, and had four assists and four blocks.

Basketball experts analyzed Yao Ming and believed that he had improved mainly two points after arriving at the Lakers, one was playing time, and the other was rebounding efficiency.

His transformation largely depends on Yang Rui, and Yao Ming said in an interview that the two teams are different.

In the Knicks, Yao Ming and Larry Brown had a very poor relationship, and in the first season, Brown was even reluctant to speak to him directly, often looking for a translator to talk. And Yang Rui has always regarded Yao Ming as a good friend, and the two get along on an equal footing.

"He likes to talk to me, which is really, really important." Yao Ming said: "If a person's trust in you is so big that you can't believe it yourself, you must be willing to work hard for him on the field and do your best." ”

Yang Rui gave Yao Ming trust and respect, and also arranged suitable tactics for him. Rebounding and defense, motivation and game focus are important, but the coach's arrangement is even more crucial.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Van Gundy would let Yao Ming go to defend Boozer, and change the defensive guard to break through in the man-to-man tactics, Yang Rui would not do this, he would let Yao Ming stay at the bottom line, grab rebounds, and block. The joint defense system, the defense of the outside line depends on rotation, and it is Damon Jones's sake, not Yao Ming's responsibility.

During the Van Gundy period, Hyde and Alston defended poorly, and many pots were carried by Yao Ming. Now, Yao Ming's tactics benefit.

The most striking example of tactical benefits is DeAndre Jordan, who averaged a game-high 8.3 rebounds per game in a single season before Doc Rivers joined, and Rivers immediately won two rebounds after becoming the coach of the Clippers.

In the 14-15 season, Jordan Jr. averaged 15 rebounds in 34.4 minutes per game, averaging more than 13 rebounds per game for four consecutive seasons, with a minimum of 13.6.

Yao Ming's physical fitness can't be compared with Little Jordan, he is better than a high, as long as the defensive end is not out of the penalty area, and his teammates help him, he can easily get backcourt rebounds, and he can do it on his toes.

With a day off, the Lakers' challenge came, away against the Suns.

On the morning of the 19th, after the Lakers practice, the Phoenix reporter waited for Yang Rui and gave him a brief interview.

"The Lakers have a surprising 8-1 record this season, while the Suns have won all eight games at the beginning, what do you think?"

"It's normal, I said when I was with the Wizards that Nash is a super point guard, even MVP, and his specialty is enough to change a team, a team that is suitable for a fast-paced offense. D'Antoni is good at running and shooting, and the two are a perfect match. ”

The reporter asked: "The Lakers have salary space in the summer, why didn't you dig Nash?" ”

"He's got to have the ball in his hands to play, and it's not for the Suns, it's not for the Lakers. On the Lakers, the first choice for offense with the ball is, of course, Kobe Bryant, who has more offensive power. If Nash joins Los Angeles, I'm afraid it will be a waste of talent, and the No. 1 shot will be enough for us. ”

The reporter asked: "The Mavericks gave up Nash and brought in Dampier, who is not playing well in the new season, what do you think?" ”

"The Mavericks have been strong this season. They are not a fast-paced team and need to strengthen their interior defense. Dampier does have a drop in stats, but the Mavericks need a meat shield center. There was no particularly good free agent interior in the summer, the Mavericks didn't have to choose, and the most important thing was to have a reasonable lineup. Yang Rui smiled.

This Suns are not weaker than the Suns in the 2004-2005 season of Yang Rui's previous life, and even slightly better. Raga Bell joined early, and although Joe Johnson was gone, there was an experienced Grant Hill.

Hill's life changed as he shared the ball with the Knicks and Sprewell to the Suns with two star teammates, leading to an early change in style of play, less ball-handling and more toward catch-and-shoot and defense.

The Suns medical team did a great job of taking care of Hill's knee, who was healthy in the second half of last season and played a role this year. The only weakness is that Hill's three-point shooting ability is not as good as Joe Johnson's.

Marion and O'Neill Jr. can fight and run, and they can also fight positionally. Backup guard Barbosa has improved significantly this season, becoming the Suns' best sixth man, and the swingman is Jim Jackson, a quality veteran.

The most important person on the Suns is of course Nash, who has been like a fish in water since joining the Suns, launching counterattacks, organizing passes, catching and shooting, and breaking through with the ball, all doing a good job.

The most important thing is that the defense of this Suns team is better than Yang Rui's previous life, except for Nash, the starting four are all good at defense, averaging 110.6 points per game and conceding only 101 points, second only to the Lakers in offensive power, ranking second in the league.

This game is the focus of this round, countless fans around the world are waiting to watch, and when the league publicizes, in addition to the star duel, it also launches the gimmick of "Yang Rui VS D'Antoni", the best coach competition.

That night, the Suns were full at home.

The team's record has improved, and the Suns have more spectators, and they have become the league's famous devil's home court. When the Suns star played, he received a round of applause, and Bryant was booed when he played.

Yang Rui shook hands with D'Antoni on the sidelines and exchanged a few words.

Both are strong contenders for the best coach award, with D'Antoni having a slight advantage.

The Suns' win rate will certainly not improve more than the Lakers, D'Antoni has not won the best coach, and Yang Rui has been three times. If it happens again, Yang Rui is the first person in history, and both the alliance and reporters will definitely take these factors into account.

Bell and O'Neill Jr. also greeted Yang Rui, they have all cooperated with Yang Ruihe, won the championship and increased their value, they are very grateful to Yang Rui.

After the warm-up, players from both sides came out.

Lakers five: Mo Williams, Kobe, Iguodala, Rasheed Wallace, Yao Ming.

Suns Five: Nash, Bell, Hill, Marion, O'Neal Jr.

Just looking at the lineup, you can know that Yang Rui is serious, he didn't let Jones, who has the worst defense, play, but used the faster Williams Williams, in order to strengthen the defense, otherwise Nash will definitely be powerful.
