Chapter 120 [Focus, Upset]

Yang Rui wants to be a coach, not to inherit the legacy of his predecessor, but to be interested. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

He understands that interest is to be happy. The path he wants to take is the path of the famous football coach Milutinovic.

Milou began his coaching career in 1983 as head coach of the Mexican national team. In the 1986 World Cup, he led the Mexican national team to the quarterfinals for the first time; In October 1989, he became the head coach of the Costa Rican team, and the following year's World Cup in Italy, he led this underdog, which was almost composed of amateur players, to create the myth of reaching the round of 16; In 1994, Milou led the United States to the round of 16 of the World Cup for the first time; In November 1997, Milou led the Mexican team to successfully qualify for the World Cup in France; In the 1998 World Cup in France, the Nigerian team led by Milou also successfully reached the round of 16.

So far, he has become the only "magic coach" in the history of world football who has led different national teams to the round of 16 of the World Cup for four consecutive times.

And the most amazing thing is that in Yang Rui's previous life, on October 7, 2001, the Chinese national team led by Mi Lu fulfilled the 44-year dream of the World Cup and entered the World Cup stage for the first time. This is something that even God could not do after Milou left office.

Compared to Milou's technical and tactical on-site command level, his detailed work is better, and the concept he proposes is "happy football".

He can minimize the interference of Football Association officials, ordinary people can't do it, a group of balls blindly pinch their waists to give players meetings every day, and the players probably want to kick people one by one, but don't want to play.

"Happy Football" has helped the psychologically fragile national football team a lot, Milu told them to let go of the work, reduce the pressure, and not have a black minute, black three minutes, black five minutes, black a whole game, black a whole year, black more than ten years like other coaches in the national football team.

"Happy Football" also cured the Chinese team's Koreanophobia, Iranophobia, sandphobia, Japanese phobia, strikers' goal phobia, and so on......

In short, if it weren't for Milu, even if Japan and South Korea didn't play the group stage that year, the national football team would have to kneel.

When you win the game with one mind, you are likely to go astray. The Raptors are a group of newcomers, and it is appropriate to use the concept of "happiness" to relieve their pressure. So Yang Rui also let go, and eating snacks on the field is the way.

The coaches are relaxed like this, and the players are also relaxed on the field, and they subconsciously feel that no matter how bad the coach is, he will not scold them. Even if he scolds, Yang Rui has no deterrent effect when he holds snacks.

On the Celtics' side, Pitino was very angry, black-faced throughout the whole process, and refused to comment on Yang Rui and the Raptors. Yang Rui's behavior of eating snacks on the sidelines made him angry.

Butch Carter didn't attend the press conference, and although many people wanted to interview him, he didn't know how to answer reporters' questions.

Yang Rui became the focus of the whole of North America that night. If it was just a big win for the Raptors, not so many people would pay attention to him, and in the other game, the Knicks lost to the Jazz 95-103 at home.

The Raptors' offensive rhythm was fast, and because of the geographical location, it ended an hour earlier than the Knicks, which avoided reporters at the press conference asking Yang Rui what he thought of the Knicks.

In the finals, the Knicks played the Jazz and collapsed, and they had no shame to face the Salt Lake City fathers and villagers, and now the Knicks have added star Sprewell, and their strength has improved, but they have lost. The most important thing is that the Knicks lost on offense.

The game was broadcast live across the United States, and Mike Brin bluntly said: "The Knicks' offense is not smooth, and the players are fighting on their own, and it seems to be back to the offensive routine of the 1996-1997 season." ”

It's just the first game, most people prefer to believe that this is because the suspension has been too long, and the team has no time to run in, so the cooperation is not tacit enough.

Jeff Van Gundy is under a lot of pressure with 49 games remaining, and if the Knicks' offensive power drops significantly, even if the title defense is successful, fans will have an opinion.

At the New York press conference, reporters talked about the Raptors' flashy offense, and Van Gundy was at a loss for words.

After the game, some basketball experts analyzed that it was Sprewell who destroyed the team's chemistry and caused the Knicks to attack poorly, but the "madman" was still strong, scoring 24 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, 8 of 16 shots, and 2 of 5 three-pointers.

Ewing had 17 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists, and everyone else was dumbfounded.

Bruce Bowen switched to the bench after signing a contract extension and played less minutes. In the second quarter, Van Gundy reused Childs and let the more attacking Atkins be used as a cold bench.

Off-the-bench frontcourt Oakley, Ben Wallace, and Jackson were good defensively, the offense lacked cooperation, they couldn't break through, there was no strong attack on the inside, and they passed to and fro in the last single.

The veteran blue-collar Oakley actually became the main point of attack, playing 35 minutes and scoring 11 points. Jackson has offensive ability and can play playmaking forward, but Van Gundy can't use it, and he lets Childs and Oakley play pick-and-roll, how can he attack?

Then, in the second quarter, it became five blue-collar workers fighting with the opponent on the court to defend, and the scene was as disgusting as it was.

Sprewell is strong, good at attacking with the ball, can attract the ball and divide the ball, is not bad defensively, has excellent physical fitness, and is a player of Bryant's style.

He has a huge popularity, was selected for the first team and second defense in the 93-94 season, and even took over the banner of the league's first point guard after a shooting guard played baseball.

The team has a star, Van Gundy naturally wants to play the attacking ability of the "madman", he and Alan Houston are both famous, and they don't want to play as a substitute, so they can only be replaced by Bowen.

In this way, the "madman" needs to play with the ball; Ewing pulls out the tactics of the response, and it can't be played; Larry Johnson became a set-up pitcher; Charlie Ward just dribbles to the front court and plays soy sauce completely; Only Houston played mainly without the ball, so it was not affected much.

On the surface, it was Sprewell's arrival that ruined the chemistry, but in reality, Van Gundy's misuse of talent was key. There are as many as four starting attackers, where can the ball be distributed?

Van Gundy and Yang Rui have worked together for a year, and the offense will only be compared to a gourd, lacking the ability to adapt.

If Yang Rui were to coach the Knicks, he would decisively let Atkins play in the second quarter, increase his breakthrough ability and three-point points, and replace Larry Johnson with Oakley as the starter.

In this way, the defense is stronger in the first quarter, there is no lack of offensive power in the second quarter, and there is no problem that the starting four need the ball. Johnson has a ring, and after his prime, he will definitely be able to accept the substitution arrangement.

Waiting for the rigid-minded Van Gundy to open up and make adjustments to the lineup, I don't know when the Knicks will be in trouble.

Now that they have become opponents, Yang Rui naturally hopes that the Knicks' record will get worse and better, and the two teams will meet in the playoffs later. It would be great if the Raptors had home-court advantage over the Knicks in the playoffs.

Externally, Yang Rui said that the management has no goal, but to relieve pressure on young players.

He has a big personal goal and vows to lead the Raptors to a championship. Of course, this year is difficult, so try to lead the team far.
