Chapter 336 [Balance of strength, rejuvenation of youth]

The training camp is open, and the Wizards players have high-intensity training every day, practicing their positioning and physical fitness.

Young never arranged high-intensity workouts in the Raptors, but in the Knicks, he saw Jeff Van Gundy's training method.Van Gundy is a student of Pat Riley. He is a person who likes to practice players to the death. They all believe that as long as the players are physically strong, they will have an advantage in the playoffs. Physical strength can be converted into perseverance, and they are more likely to win in anxious games .

Hornacek is also aware of Sloan's training steps, and he has provided a lot of valuable advice. The Jazz team is iron-blooded, cooperates tacitly, and has achieved good results for many consecutive years with the general lineup.

At this time, Jordan's role appeared, and no one wanted to be lazy in training.When someone is distracted when running, he will immediately yell twice.

People like Kwame Brown with a very bad mentality, so they became submissive, and they lost their confidence until they put on the Garfield mask and practiced the invincible Hot Wheels.If a player with strong mental attributes encounters a stern boss like Jordan, it is still beneficial.

The team also had a good second place, with Hamilton showing near-perfect talent off the ball.When he is closely followed by the defender, he does not force the shot, attracts the defense to score the ball, and has a good sense of passing.

Moreover, Hamilton has the ability to attack the ball, post up, turn around and make jumpers, but he doesn't take many shots.

Hamilton's biggest advantage is his physical fitness. After practicing every day, his face is as usual, his breathing is steady, and he doesn't look tired at all.The high-intensity training formulated by Yang Rui is just ordinary training for him.

In Yang Rui's previous life, in 05, Slam Dunk Magazine interviewed Hamilton, and the reporter asked him the secret of running all over the court without getting tired.Hamilton said it was actually very simple, that is, he took the dog for a run every morning, and went home when the dog was tired.

This training method is really speechless, poor dog.

The second best player in the team is David Wesley, who is better at three-pointers. The disadvantage is that he is only 185cm tall.His excellent shooting touch also made Jordan very satisfied and more confident in the new season.

Jordan was in a fixed position in the middle, and when he saw the empty pass, in addition to the two defenders, he could also pass the empty cut to Stoudemire. Once Stoudemire rushed up, no matter who the opponent was, it would be difficult to guard him.

Marshall starts at No. 4 and can be withdrawn to the outside of the three-point line to attract defense, but this lineup has obvious weaknesses and poor interior defense. Stoudamire is a "rookie" who likes to take off and block blocks. , the defense is poor, Marshall is too thin, and he is also not good at protecting the frame.

Yang Rui's tentative second quarter rotation is also an attacking lineup.Mainly Alston and Boozer high-level pick-and-roll, Wallace on the side to cover for Bell, Maggette opened and waited for opportunities, ready to cut to the basket at any time, or catch the ball and play singles.

Laettner, Haywood, Ethan Thomas and point guard Tyron Lue are marginal players. If the opponent does not have a heavy center, the Wizards will play small ball tactics.

Wallace's screen quality is poor relative to a big man, but he plays and can strengthen the defense of the second unit.Boozer can be a meat shield, and he won't be easily blown up, no matter if he is defending against fast breaks or in positional warfare.

Once the opponent missed a shot, the Wizards grabbed the rebound and launched a counterattack. The four of them rushed up. Even if they were not in position, Maggette and Wallace could also use their speed to get rid of the opponent's frontcourt players.

After a week of practice, Jordan was in a good mood, the Wizards became passionate, and the players often staged dunks.

He was optimistic about Yang Rui's ability to build the team, but he didn't expect the effect to be so good, so he immediately found a group of bench bandits.As long as there is no major injury in the regular season, he firmly believes that the team can make the playoffs.

He also understands why Yang Rui insists on getting Maggette. As the sixth man, he is indeed more useful than Kwame Brown.As long as Maggette is facing a small forward or a shooting guard, no one can stop him when he rushes up. Jordan is also uncomfortable with such a fast and super-strong upper body muscle stick.

Maggette is too suitable for fast breaks, and he is slightly inferior to Muscles Carter. It is difficult to find people with thicker arms than Maggette in the 2nd and 3rd positions in the league.Just by looking at the image, people would think this dude goes to play football and would be a good player too.

The players left by the Wizards last season are also useful. Yang Rui is most optimistic about Laettner, who is 211cm tall and weighs 108kg. He can play on both ends of offense and defense. He can resist people in the low post. You can also show off your steps.

Against heavy insiders, Haywood and Thomas will be useful.

Tyron Lue is not as good in shooting as Wesley, and not as good in possession as Alston.

This Wizards team has a balanced strength in all positions. Even so, the Wizards management still intends to find two people to play the preseason. Yang Rui has no objection.So, Unseld found two people according to his own ideas, and wanted to compare his eyes with Yang Rui.

One of them is quite famous, is the 38-year-old veteran point guard, "Beatles" Tim Hardaway.

As a result, Hardaway was a colander on the defensive end. He was short on one defense and couldn't stand the pick-and-roll switch.On the offensive end, he is also difficult to regain the courage of the year, and Alston is at a disadvantage in a one-on-one one-on-one.

Hardaway's killer Crossover, without a quick first step at startup, relying only on technology is very sad.Alston is a streetball player who doesn't rely on speed, and has endless tricks when dribbling.

Hardaway's performance was unsatisfactory, and even Unseld was slapped in the face.

Yang Rui is 28 years old this year and is still the youngest coach. There is no such young person in the management of the league, which makes many people in the Wizards refuse to accept his monopoly of power.Unseld is one of them. He is an NBA legend and thinks he has more experience than Yang Rui.

Now Unseld has to admit that Hardaway must not stay in the Wizards, and he and Alston only signed a one-year salary, which is a mistake.

In the training camp, Yang Rui was most satisfied with Michael Jordan. He completed the organizational task very well.As long as his teammates run out of space, he will deliver the ball.

The accumulation of more than ten years of NBA experience has made Jordan very demonic and has a broad vision of passing.On the premise of scoring 30+ points per game in his career, he can still average 5.3 assists per game. If he mainly focuses on passing, he is not inferior to the point guard.

Jordan's defensive position will also change from last season. Last season, he had to go out to defend the opponent's perimeter. After Yang Rui was in charge, he would not always arrange such a waste of energy for him.

The Raptors' preferred defensive tactic is 122 zone defense. Jordan is on the bottom line on one side, retracting at any time to grab backcourt rebounds, and then launch a fast break with a pass.Even if Jordan is 40 years old, no team will relax his defense against him, so it is difficult for Jordan to get opportunities on the fast break. A good pass can help the team and rebound by the way.

If Boozer and Stoudamire are used to play the power forward, and the center is a big man, and the Wizards defend like this, there will be problems on the perimeter. It doesn't matter if Wallace and Marshall share minutes at No. 4.They can both play small forwards, and the perimeter breakthrough won't be a loophole, and Wallace even has an advantage.

The tactics arranged by Yang Rui made Jordan unable to pick out any faults. At most, he scored less points, and the other two data should improve.

Jordan feels that his mentality is rejuvenated. He is very excited and full of fighting spirit. He can't wait to play the regular season!
