On the morning of December 11, manager Ernie spoke to Van Gundy and asked him if he needed reinforcements to strengthen the squad. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Van Gundy originally wanted to find a free man, but after talking to Yang Rui, he dispelled this idea.

Is there a potential newcomer in the team who is not cultivated, and looking for a veteran who can't play and can't keep up with the rhythm? Even short contracts are completely unnecessary. As long as it lasted for more than a month, the wounded returned.

Yang Rui joined the Knicks, which triggered the butterfly effect, and if Van Gundy was allowed to make his own decisions, he would have done this kind of stupid thing more than once. In Yang Rui's previous life, Team Rocket was about to be turned into a nursing home by this goods.

Van Gundy's personality will not be completely reversed for a while, at least during the time when someone is injured, he will give Jackson and Atkins a chance.

Jackson has been very depressed since the start of the game, training every day, often not getting in the squad, and not playing.

Yang Rui talked to him before training. "Stephen, eat less in the evening and get ready to play, you've got a chance to show today."

"Really? Is he willing to use me? ”

"We've talked about it, and how long you play depends on your performance." Yang Rui smiled: "Jeff will talk to you, you have been practicing well in three points recently." ”

"I'll be able to get into the empty seats." Jackson patted his chest and assured.

Now that the NBDL has not yet been established, players who do not have the opportunity to play cannot play and can only vent their energy in training. Both Moore and Jackson obeyed Yang Rui's arrangement and practiced their three-point shots on the front and sides.

Physical fitness can be improved, shooting is generally based on talent, some players with stiff wrists and overdeveloped muscles will not be able to practice shooting well in their lives.

Players who can practice shooting well are almost always able to shoot in middle school, but it's just a matter of how much, and most of them become more and more accurate as they get older.

Yang Rui asked the two newcomers to focus on practicing three-point shooting, and both had an effect.

Jackson's three-point shooting rate in training exceeded Yang Rui's expectations, and his condition reached 70%. Yang Rui remembers that Jackson's career three-point shooting rate is not high, 33.3% in the regular season and 35.5% in the playoffs.

The reason why the data is so poor is because his shot selection is too bad, and he often pulls in front of people and shoots under interference.

Moore is a little worse, he can shoot in college, and he can shoot when he increases his range, and his shooting rate is generally less than 40%. His body shape is definitely not tough, if he practices three points well, he should be able to mix better than the one in Yang Rui's impression, this is the right path.

At the end of the training, Van Gundy arranged the tactics of the night, and as soon as he opened his mouth, everyone was thundered, especially Jackson, who did not expect that he would also be a starter.

Bowen only played 18.8 minutes per game, scoring 4.7 points, 1.8 rebounds, 0.7 assists and 0.4 steals, which is not worth mentioning, but he started the game. Now, there are three summer league rookies on the team who have been reused, and it's completely a salted fish turnover!

The tactical arrangement was said by Van Gundy, and everyone knew that this was Yang Rui's handiwork, and only he would dare to use the newcomer so much.

Returning to the bench, Oakley, who averaged only 6.9 points, 7 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game this season, did not raise objections. He had a chance to perform in these four games, but he didn't play well, who is to blame?

In the evening, Madison Square Garden was still full, and the team had the best start to the game and attracted fans.

After warming up, Van Gundy called the players to his side and detailed the tactics again before sitting down.

Yang Rui admires Van Gundy's work attitude, this guy is always meticulous and has a high sense of responsibility.

Yang Rui didn't dare to guarantee that he would win, and the Timberwolves were not weak.

The team's point guard is Bethune...... No, it was Stephen Marbury, who later became nicknamed "Lone Wolf" and went to China to play in the CBA. He's been great when he first entered the league, and this is his second season, where he's currently averaging 17.6 points and 8.6 assists per game.

In the third season of his career, Kevin Garnett, who was the fifth pick in 95, is currently averaging 18.5 points, 9.6 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.7 steals and 1.8 blocks per game, both offensive and defensive.

In addition, there is last season's All-Star Tom Gugliotta, a small forward who is 208cm tall and weighs 109 kilograms, and is currently averaging 20.1 points, 8.7 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.5 steals per game.

As the absolute core of the Timberwolves last season, Gugliotta had a great impact on Garnett and was outstanding, but he was limited in physical fitness and slightly inferior defensively.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Gugliotta was an unlucky bastard, and soon suffered two serious injuries, and since then he has been in a state of collapse and has become a famous glass man in the league.

The man was so unlucky that one day in December 1999, after a game he couldn't sleep, Gugliotta took a sleeping pill containing chemicals such as butylactone. At that time, Gugliotta was still talking to his wife on the phone, and suddenly stopped breathing.

Luckily, his wife heard something unusual and immediately called the wife of his teammate Rex Chapman, asking her to tell Chapman, who was also on the bus, to check the small bottle in Gugliotta's bag. This information played a great role in the process of rescuing him by the team doctor later, and he finally picked up his life.

After the warm-up, the players stood in the middle of the court, and the Knicks started: Ward, Houston, Bowen, Jackson, Ewing.

Timberwolves starters: Marbury, Chris Kyle, Gugliotta, Garnett, Stanley Roberts.

Yang Rui pinched a sweat for Stephen Jackson, the 18-year-old newcomer who has to face the future wolf king Garnett, who is the most disparate counterpoint.

The All-Star voting has begun, and Garnett's data is comprehensive and super popular, temporarily ranking second in the Western Conference Forward selection, behind Karl Malone, ahead of Barkley, Duncan and others, and is likely to be an All-Star starter.

Van Gundy is even more bottomless in his heart, but he is not dizzy enough to let Ewing defend against Garnett, Garnett's center height, guard speed, and playing style are swing people, Ewing will definitely be passed.

In the forward position, no one in the Knicks can compare with Garnett, even if the Indian power forward Larry Johnson is outside the 10th All-Star vote.

Van Gundy thought about letting Oakley start to defend Garnett, but Yang Rui resolutely denied it, which made him a little unhappy.

He whispered, "Jerry, today's starters were arranged according to your ideas, do you think Bruce can guard against Gugliotta?" ”

"It's okay to interfere with the shot, it's okay to have Patrick in and let their center Roberts shoot." Yang Rui said calmly.

"But can Stephen stop Garnett? I feel very unsteady when I hit me like this. Van Gundy sighed.

Not only is it unsteady, he actually feels that he will definitely lose if he fights like this, and he is afraid that he will be beaten by the opponent in the first quarter, and he will have to chase it later.

"I don't think so, the key is to prevent Marbury and Kyle's three-pointers, and the Timberwolves can shoot from a distance. As for Garnett's heads-up, Stephen is very suitable, he is mobile, but he is short and can interfere with shooting, even if Garnett scores more than 30 points, the two-point shot can't be killed, we have to attack and win this time. ”

Van Gundy frowned and sighed, "I hope so." ”
