Chapter 29 [Eyes-Opening]

Childs continued to pass the ball after half court. As a point guard, his playmaking ability is really mediocre, and he is good at defense.

Mills singled against Houston and missed a pull-up jumper. He just joined the team. He wanted to prove himself and chose the wrong way.

Big Ben protected the rebounds in the backcourt, and the red team started the fast break again.Jackson forced a layup and failed to score under the interference of Starks. Wallace followed up and grabbed an offensive rebound.

Oakley caught up from behind, Wallace passed the ball out, Atkins couldn't get rid of it, and scored the ball to Jackson, who ran back, who turned around, raised the ball with both hands, and changed direction Passed Ewing and made an inside layup.

This time he still failed to make a shot, but caused a foul by Oakley, who was on defense.

As soon as Ewing went outside, his defensive power dropped by half, his height and wingspan could not be brought into play, and his speed was too slow.

Jackson made two free throws, 16-4.

Houston attracted defensive passes on the perimeter after being strictly guarded, and the red team's offense was still going strong. Van Gundy finally called a timeout.Oakley's defensive action was great just now, and he will be in a hurry if he doesn't stop the veteran.

The first adjustment he made was to replace Larry Johnson, who was resting for a while, and wanted him to take advantage of his physical strength to one-on-one, and replaced Mills, who had no performance.

Just now he was worried that Johnson was injured and let him rest. What is this?Injured in training?
In addition, Van Gundy asked Starks and Ewing to play a pick-and-roll. Starks broke through the ball and attacked by himself, and he could also attract the defense and then pass it to Ewing to single out, the routine of last season.

Yang Rui praised the players on the sidelines without making substitutions, emphasizing speeding up.

The game continued, Johnson turned his back on Bowen when he came on the court, and the power gap was obvious.

One thing falls one thing.Bowen is good at defending the face frame attack, and when encountering strong impact, the muscle sticks that can back up are often shriveled.Therefore, he not only limited the outstanding performance of James, McGrady and others, but also was beaten by Bonzi Wells in the playoffs.

Big Ben made up defense, and Johnson passed the ball from the right to the left basket.Oakley was empty, dunked the basketball with both hands, 16-6.

Atkins took the ball to the frontcourt and passed it to Houston, who was relying on screen moves. The latter missed a jumper under interference, Ewing got the rebound, and Jackson fouled on the spot.

It's easy for a rookie to do some daring little tricks, presumably trying to make him remember a little longer, and Jorge whistle.

On the sidelines, Yang Rui raised his hand to ask for a substitution, and 213CM's "Snake Man" Mickey Moore came on and replaced Bowen.

Moore conveyed the coach's intention after he came on the court: "Stephen, you go to guard Oakley, Ben to guard Johnson, I deal with Ewing, the offensive rhythm slowed down, opened the positional battle, and organized forwards."

Having played this way in summer league, Jackson nodded.

The white team attacked, and the ball was passed to Johnson, who took a step and was carried by Big Ben. Both of them were stocky insiders.

Johnson failed to break through and passed the ball to Ewing, who turned and avoided the block with a jumper, and the ball went wide again.Moore is as tall as Ewing, faster, and has obvious interference effects.Ewing didn't practice much at home in the summer and needed some time to find his touch.

Jackson grabbed the rebound and defended well, and the attack slowed down.Bringing it to the frontcourt, Moore gave Atkins off the ball screen on the left, Big Ben screened for Houston on the right, and Jackson passed the ball in the center, adding variation.

Oakley was getting annoyed by this tactic.He is not slow and can interfere with one-sided shots, but it is difficult for him to obtain rebounding data, which is equivalent to becoming a pure blue collar.

Oakley also began to admire Yang Rui, and he adjusted after only one goal was conceded, which immediately hindered the white team's offensive fluency.

Responding on the spot is so fast and effective, many people think that Yang Rui is more like a head coach than Van Gundy today.

Atkins took the ball with two steps and passed it to Moore, who received the ball from the left side frame, paused slightly, and made a mid-range shot near the penalty area against Childs, who is 191cm tall. 18 to 6.

He played as a substitute again, and the fans applauded enthusiastically.Van Gundy's face was expressionless, and his heart was going crazy.

Van Gundy is an inflexible person. He doesn't make adjustments when he falls behind, relying on stars.

He was the same with the Rockets. In 2007, even if Bunch-Wells could beat Bowen in a one-on-one match, and Spannoulis overcame the Dream Team in the international arena, it was not in line with his tactical philosophy.

Even if Yao Ming has a bad feel, he will ask the players to pass the ball to the low position again and again, so that Yao Ming can attack with his back to find the feeling. The end is often Yao Ming is tired and half dead, and the team is beaten by the opponent.

In Yang Rui's previous life, when Van Gundy was a coach, his mind was not clear, and he was on the top of his head.It was not until he did commentary for many years and watched basketball games from the perspective of a bystander that he understood a lot of things and admitted his mistakes.

After Moore played, the defensive intensity of the red team dropped a little, and Ewing and Starks scored consecutively.Yang Rui's attack was not bad. At the end of the first quarter, he led 32 to 24 by 8 points.

In the second quarter, Yang Rui let Houston, who had rested for a while, play, partnering with Moore, Buck Williams, Ward, and Anthony Bowie, and played a 13-2 wave.

Yang Rui's two insiders can make mid-range shots and have strong mobility. They can pull out to attract defenses. Houston can shoot, and Bowie can break through.

Bowie is 198cm tall and weighs 86kg. At the peak of the Magic team, he averaged 14.6 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game. He was poor in confrontation and poor in shooting.

Bowie did not renew his contract with the Magic and represented the Knicks in the Summer League. Yang Rui took advantage of this advantage.

The biggest mistake on Van Gundy's side was to send the 211CM inside veteran Dudley. The speed was too slow, and it was difficult to switch to Houston or Bowie.

Van Gundy's adjustment is to send the main force. The veterans are not willing to lag behind, they start to get serious, and they quickly chase the 17-point difference to only 5 points.

Yang Rui switched back to the "main force" in the second half, strengthened his defense, and ended with a 57-50 lead at halftime.

Managers Ernie and Glenn were on the sidelines, pondering how to report to owner James Dolan.

They have tried their best to overestimate Yang Rui, but found that they still underestimated. Who are Yang Rui's subordinates?No one knows anyone except Houston and Ward, and has never fallen behind since the beginning, pressing the Knicks' main force last season.

Yang Rui's adjustments are effective every time, dare to play tricks, and bloom more on the offensive end.Van Gundy reused Ewing, Johnson, Starks, the others were all spectators, and Oakley was guarded.

Who has good tactics and strong ability to adapt to the situation on the spot is clear at a glance.Not only the team members thought so, but the fans saw the way.

Jill exclaimed: "Hunter, the Chinese you know is so good, how can he be like this with a substitute?"

"I don't know, now I want to ask him for an autograph. I actually often eat with such awesome people." Hunter said excitedly.

Thibodeau admired Yang Rui even more, holding a notebook on the sidelines to record his employment methods and study on the spot.The head coaches he used to work with were not as flexible as Yang Rui in employing people, and today was an eye-opener.

There is a problem with the network at home. I found someone from China Unicom this morning, and the update is late. I'm really sorry.
