Chapter 344 [Unusually, suspend the madman]

Yang Rui had expected that the players' running tactics would not be so smooth. This is not an unsolvable problem, but he can no longer watch the game with snacks and act as a mascot as he did when the Raptors did.

The solution is to call a timeout in time if the coach is not playing well, emphasizing tactics and not allowing the players to play freely.

The players formed a circle, and Yang Rui showed a tactical version with numbers representing the players' positions on it, and the movement routes were marked with arrows.

"Marshall, this is your ninth season in the NBA, you're a veteran, you're experienced, you should lead by example, remember the line of movement, after the screen you have to run and form a diagonal with Rip (Hamilton). Nine times out of [-], you'll be a center, and you can catch the ball and shoot it, or you can hold the ball over slow-moving big men. Is there a problem?"

"No." Marshall replied quickly.

In the first minute of the game, the coach called a timeout for him. He had never encountered such a thing in the previous eight seasons, and felt a little panicked.This is tantamount to causing dissatisfaction with the coach. If he refuses to correct after repeated admonitions, he may lose his starting position.

Yang Rui called a timeout so quickly just to put pressure on Marshall. Saying this tactic once is more effective than saying it five times while saving face for him. It will definitely make people remember it.

After talking about offense, Yang Rui emphasized defense again. "Except for the two people on the bottom line, you can't just think about shrinking the penalty area in other positions. When you encounter a player who can shoot, you have to save and actively interfere with the shot..."

The time-out is over and the game continues.

The Wizards immediately played the same movement tactics as just now. Hamilton first attracted Jackson to switch, ran to the left and Marshall moved without the ball to cover to receive the pass.

This time Marshall ran to the bottom corner on the right without hesitation. Jackson turned around and saw that Stoudamire wanted to cut empty, stood at the horn, let go of Marshall, and stood near the penalty area.

Jackson and Carter both targeted Stoudamire, who was off the ball.It can also be seen that after watching the video of the game, Carlisle arranged to strictly prevent Stoudemire from cutting.

Hamilton made a large lateral transfer, and Marshall was fully prepared to catch the ball and hit a three-pointer. 5 to 3.

The Raptors attacked, failed to break the zone defense several times, and turned into a star singles.

There are people around the penalty area, the two inside lines can't hold the ball and attack, and Kirilenko can't play the characteristics of empty cut.The best chance on the field seemed to be to use the Raptors' zone defense position. Carter singled out Wesley and made a direct pull-up shot.

The Hornets also had Wesley play against Carter at the beginning. Yang Rui's tactics were paranoid. He wanted Carter to pull out indefinitely. If the opponent didn't switch defenses, Yang Rui would not blame him for making more than 50 shots in the whole game.

As a result, Carter started to distribute the ball to his teammates after making six shots. He felt that it was unreasonable and too independent.

Carter's character is destined that no matter which team he plays, he will be welcomed by his teammates and is very selfless, but this character is also doomed that he will not win the scoring championship in his life.Yang Rui tried to change Carter, but no amount of encouragement could change his mind.

If Shaquille O'Neal and Miller are there, and there are many stars in the team, Carter's playing like this is of course no problem, and his teammates can guarantee the offensive efficiency.Not anymore, Carter doesn't attack, who gives the ball to?Billups, Kirilenko?Neither of those two peaked at 20 points per game.

Carter missed Wesley's second dry pull, and Stoudamire got the rebound.

The Wizards attacked, and the move just now came again. This time Carter actively pursued and defended, following Hamilton all the way.Jordan didn't pass him, and it was good for the Wizards to take Carter to consume physical strength.

The Wizards switched to the inside to cover Wesley, and Billups was also very active in chasing defense, and switching to the inside was not so easy to be hardened.

After playing for a few minutes, no obvious space was found, and the Wizards also fell into the star singles. Jordan began to single out Kirilenko, and Stoudamire faced Jackson.

Seeing that the team's offensive efficiency dropped, Yang Rui called another long timeout.

Barkley laughed: "In the Raptors, the media said that Yang Rui rarely called timeouts. He was one of the coaches who didn't like to call timeouts. He called two in today's quarter."

Smith sighed: "He must have wanted to win this game. He didn't scream much against the Celtics."

Barkley said: "You don't need to call a timeout to play the Celtics. The defense is full of holes."

杨瑞第一个调整就是换下了乔丹，他打了7分半钟，4投1中，罚球2中2，得到4分4篮板3助攻。

The Wizards' players didn't cooperate well, and they didn't have a super scorer, so they couldn't break the zone defense. Yang Rui replaced Jordan in order to speed up and find opportunities in the counterattack.

After Maggette played, he lived up to expectations. When he counterattacked, he forced a layup and scored two points. The empty cut received the ball and caused a foul by Kirilenko. He made two free throws and opened the situation.

Maggette listened to Yang Rui's words and began to study how to deliberately deceive opponents to foul. Kirilenko's super long arms are more likely to be hit by people while traveling.

The Raptors mainly relied on singles from Billups and Carter. The two insiders only took cover. Kirilenko could only play soy sauce if he couldn't rush to the basket. The game was a bit dull.

The Wizards trailed by one point 23-24 in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, Yang Rui sent Alston, Bell, Maggette, Wallace, Boozer, and then played small ball tactics, successfully suppressing the Raptors' bench.

Yang Rui knows the characteristics of the Raptors players, and the arrangement is very targeted. It is no longer a simple 122 zone defense, but a mixed defense.

Bell defended Reed and was inseparable; Wallace was in charge of preventing pick-and-rolls, covering the Raptors without the ball on the side, helping Bell limit Reed; the other three huddled near the penalty area line, blocking the penalty area at any time.

The five Raptors off the bench are Parker, Reed, Halprin, Jumaine Jones, and Jerome James.The bench only has two stable three-point shooting points, and it is not easy to fight back, because the Wizards' four-person return defense is very fast.

In the positional battle, Zhu Mein's cover quality was too poor, and only relying on Jerome to cover, could not create any space.

Boozer held off Jerome, who was empty-cutting, near the penalty area.Jerome weighs 128 kilograms, but Boozer's strength is not a vegetarian, and he is not afraid of confrontation.

As long as Jerome has low-post skills and turns around and hooks on both sides to ensure his hit rate, he can rely on his height advantage to single out Boozer, but he is only a blue-collar, and he has no skills at all. Throw a discus", iron is powerful.

His scoring method is to bully skinny guys with his weight, get to the rim to catch the ball, shoot from close range or dunk.

The Wizards played a very simple offensive game. The positional battle was a high pick-and-roll, and Maggette was first found on the counterattack.Maggette rushed up with great power. When Jumaine got close to him, he took the ball and hit someone's arm, and he was far away, and he couldn't stop him from making a strong layup.

Maggette quickly scored 6 points, and let Jumaine rest for two fouls, and 206CM power forward Jerome Williams returned to the court.

Many people say that "touching porcelain" is shameful, but this is also a strategy, just like the "shark hacking tactic".Winning or playing well, which is more important?I believe that except for the pseudo-fans, everyone will think that winning is important.

The Raptors changed the main force to stop the decline. Reed, Carter, and Billups were present together to open up the space.

The Raptors scored three goals in a row, and they also blocked the Wizards' three attacks. They played a wave of 7-0. Yang Rui called for a long timeout.Combined with the previous official timeout, and one called by Carlisle, the first half became choppy.

Kenny Smith shook his head: "Once again, Jerry Young is going to be a suspension maniac today."
