Chapter 47 [People are more angry than people]

The Knicks returned home and beat the Kings 122-91.

The King's defense is very bad, and the only star who can get it is Mitch Richmond, who can't fight at all.

尤因只打了27分钟，13投9中，罚球5中3，得到21分7篮板7助攻。

On the 18th, the Knicks challenged the Rockets away, winning 103 to 95 and winning 10 consecutive victories.

Ewing made 12 of 6 shots and scored 14 points, 7 rebounds and 8 assists. Starks and Houston bristled together and took over the Houston Rockets, which lacked Barkley.

The media exclaimed that Ewing had learned how to pass the ball, and fans also found that Ewing had suddenly become a support center like Divac.

Thomas Bentley was very curious. When Yang Rui returned to New York, he asked, "Do you have any superpowers? People who are not good at passing have become good at passing. You can really enlighten them?"

Yang Rui threw the backpack into the bedroom, took the cup that Thomas handed over, took two sips, and said with a smile, "It's not enlightenment, but the system benefits."

"The tactical system is so useful?" Thomas always felt that the basketball coach had little effect, and that winning mainly depended on the players.

Yang Rui said with a smile: "Ewing's focus on the field is different. In the past, he was thinking about how to score, and naturally he didn't pay much attention to the movement of his teammates. Now he mainly pulls out to support, and only considers attacking when he is out of position. It is normal to have too many assists. Now, Ewing's possession rate is much higher than last season, he touches the ball almost every possession."

"I don't understand, but it seems to be very powerful." Thomas is just a pseudo-fan.

Generally speaking, the higher the ball possession, the lower the true shooting percentage.A superstar is someone who can have both high numbers.And some with extremely high occupancy rates and low hit rates are the legendary pseudo-giants.

Ball usage describes the percentage of the team's ball that a player uses on the field.If the team's offense is absolutely evenly distributed, with 5 players taking turns attacking, then each player's ball usage is 20%.Ewing's current 32.1% is second only to Jordan's 32.8% this season.

True shooting percentage is a modified field goal percentage in which three-point and free-throw attempts are given more weight.This is another parameter used to express the score-to-ball ratio.

Ewing made fewer shots inside the post, averaged only 5.3 free throws per game, did not make three-pointers, and was outside the top 10 in the league in true shooting percentage.

Fans don't pay much attention to these statistics. They only know that the Knicks are winning, and Ewing has the best statistics.Ewing's popularity soared, driving the Knicks to create more economic value.

There is no winning bonus in the agreement signed by Yang Rui. He does not demand it. The management is very kind and gave him what he wants most, which is fame.

When the old version of James Dolan's radio station reported the victory of the game, he always mentioned Yang Rui and gave him a lot of credit.

When the local media reported the game, they also used to say how bad the Knicks offense was last season, and compared it with this season.Van Gundy's forehead became brighter after watching the news.

He is not afraid of losing the coaching position, and has signed a long-term contract with the Knicks in the summer.He just envied Yang Rui's coaching road going so smoothly, much smoother than when he first debuted.What's more, the way he led the team last season seemed to be a negative teaching material.

People are more mad than people.

In China, Yang Rui is also frequently mentioned by the media.

In the Saudi Arabian Championships, with Wang Zhizhi, Li Xiaoyong and Liu Yudong injured and absent, the Chinese men's basketball team beat the South Korean team in a thrilling 4-point advantage in the semifinals.

In the final, the Chinese men's basketball team defeated Japan by 11 points and won the championship.

After the game, the reporter interviewed the head coach Zhang Bin and asked him how to lead the team out of the predicament. Zhang Bin accidentally mentioned Yang Rui.

"In the summer, we went to the United States to train and played a game with the Knicks Summer League team. We lost very badly. At that time, I asked Yang Rui what advice he had for the men's basketball team, and he said the two most important points."

The reporter asked, "Which two points?"

Zhang Bin said with a smile: "He said that the defense of the men's basketball team is too poor, and it is very important to defend the outside shot well. The center can't just stand under the basket. For teams that mainly attack on the outside, they can play small ball tactics and move fast on the inside... ...and also practice more to break the frontcourt and press. This time the Asian Championships were all hit by him, South Korea and Japan mainly attacked from the outside."

After Wang Zhizhi was injured, the men's basketball team played a small-ball tactic, letting Gong Xiaobin play as a center forward, instead of reusing Ji Minshang who was slow, and strengthened the peripheral defense.

In addition, the men's basketball team lost 52 points in the summer league and was beaten by a group of unknown players. This group of arrogant CBA big names saw the reality and put away their pride.

Yang Rui has a great sense of accomplishment after reading the news and discovering that history has been changed inadvertently.

Brother is not in the rivers and lakes, but there are legends about brother in the rivers and lakes, this feeling is too wonderful.

After playing the Rockets, the Knicks ushered in an easy schedule.Wizards, Grizzlies and other teams are easy to deal with, Pistons, Suns are harder to play, and they are also controlled by the Knicks.

The Knicks have won 15 straight games, ranking first in the league.

Previously, the NBA's starting winning streak was created by the Houston Rockets in the 1993-1994 season. At that time, the Rockets started the season with an unstoppable 15-game winning streak. It is a pity that the Rockets were weak in the back-end and finally only entered the playoffs with the sixth result in the West. .

However, in the playoffs, the Rockets showed the atmosphere of kings and finally won the championship, becoming the championship with the worst regular season record in NBA history. Bear in mind.

Now, this incredible record is tied by the Knicks.

Because the Knicks are too strong, there are several games where the stars "get off work" early.Many fans believe that the Knicks will kill the Bulls to advance to the finals and win the championship this season.

The Knicks have stars, stable three-pointers, low-post attacks, and a ferocious overall defense. They also have what the Rockets lacked in those days—the depth of the lineup!
The Knicks have a solid rotation and have solid scoring off the bench.Moore and Jackson's physical fitness is not bad, and they haven't had the chance to play yet. Even if they have specialties, it's not superfluous.The fringes of Bart Williams and Atkins can score in garbage time, one is experienced, and the other is shooting convulsions.

On December 12, the Knicks challenged the Spurs away. The Spurs just selected the top pick Duncan in the summer, forming the inside twin towers. During the running-in of the team's lineup, the record was only 2 wins and 9 losses, and the strength gap between the Knicks and the Knicks was obvious.

Before the start of the game, the media agreed that a new starting winning streak was about to be born.

"Who can stop the Knicks winning streak?"

"Can Ewing win his first MVP at 35?"

"The Knicks have the potential to break the Bulls' 72-10 regular-season record."

Ewing successfully won the Eastern Conference Player of the Month. Before that, he won the Eastern Conference Player of the Week twice.He averaged 34.2 minutes per game and scored 19.4 points, 10.3 rebounds, 4.3 assists and 2.2 blocks. The number of assists reached a career high and is still on the rise.He shot 54.2 percent from the field, also the highest in eight years.

Looking at the data, Ewing is still inferior to Michael Jordan and Karl Malone, but in the MVP rankings, he ranks first above the two.

Ewing wakes up laughing when he dreams now, he knows that he is very close to his first dream.
