Chapter 654 [Arrogant?The miracle begins? 】

The reporter brought the topic back to Griffin.

Yang Rui said: "Blake will be the core of the inside line next season. I will arrange tactics for him. I think he will be selected as an All-Star in the new season, and the best rookie is also in the bag."

Being highly praised by the coach, Griffin smiled like a Japanese Shiba Inu...

If Griffin has a serious expression and is a cool big guy, when he smiles, he is worthy of the nickname "Silly Fen".

Yang Rui faced reporters and made suggestions to Griffin. "He has to practice shooting as much as possible and increase his shooting range. The inside line that can attack from the low post is tough, but the inside line with three-point range is easier to help the team win."

杨瑞比所有人都更看好格里芬，在他前世，新秀赛季格里芬就能砍下22.5分12.1篮板3.8助攻0.8抢断0.5盖帽，投篮命中率50.6%, 三分命中率29.2%，整个赛季投中了7个三分球。

Griffin can shoot right now, just inconsistent and has the potential to practice well.In the 14-15 season, Griffin transformed from a violent power forward to a handsome mid-range shooter. The mid-range shots from 16 feet to the three-point line accounted for 37.8% of the total shots, and the hit rate also reached a very good 40.4%.

Yang Rui believes that as long as Griffin coaches shooting, he can make great progress next season.In the previous life, Griffin failed to meet a good coach, which led to a bit of a practice deviation.

Vinnie De Nagro has been the head coach of the Clippers for three years. His on-the-spot response and player rotation have been criticized by the media, always letting Griffin and Paul play freely.When his contract expired, Paul didn't want him to stay.

In this life, because of Thibodeau's early rise, Denagro has not yet been an NBA head coach.

In the first few seasons of his career, Griffin has been relying on talent to play. He is obviously a power forward, but his offense is a small forward. He breaks through the face frame and pushes away opponents with his body, which is a bit like LeBron James.

If Griffin can partner with an insider who is good at shooting, it's no problem to play like this, but he is partnered with Jordan, a blue-collar who can't make free throws.This directly led to the Clippers not being able to enter the Western Conference finals after Paul's arrival, because the opponent only needed to use 122 zone defense to win half, and the Clippers had to get to the basket if they wanted to be efficient inside.

What's worse is that the Clippers have never had a decent wing defender. Caron Butler was half-crippled when he joined, and he would catch and shoot from the outside; Matt Barnes started, not much better than Butler. Go; the 15-16 season is even more outrageous, Pierce, who is walking and playing, can start...

Yang Rui intends to practice Griffin like Yao Ming. He must be accurate in the mid-range shot, at least in the middle and the horns on both sides. It is enough to practice only one point in the middle of the three-pointer.

Griffin can definitely do a good job in assisting the pass. In Yang Rui's previous life, when Paul was injured, Griffin performed amazingly and scored three consecutive double-doubles.

Yang Rui never thought of taking the initiative to recruit James, just because Griffin can do what James does, but the defense is almost a weaker version.

Yang Rui also commented on others, positioning Curry as the sixth man, DeAndre Jordan can be an excellent defensive blue-collar, and Korver, Novak, and Dunleavy are important three-point shooting points.

The reporters were very concerned about the derby between the Clippers and the Lakers. Yang Rui said easily: "The Lakers better pray that they don't meet the Clippers in the playoffs, because I will not be polite to them."

A reporter asked in disbelief: "You mean...the Clippers can beat the Lakers this season?"

"Of course, I don't think the Lakers have the strength to compete for the championship. The same is true for the Cavaliers. The combination of Wade, James and Bosh is not as good as the Celtics Big Three. If they don't win the championship in the future, I feel sorry for them. ."

The reporter asked: "How far do you think the Cavaliers can reach?"

Yang Rui thought about it and replied: "The competition in the East is weak, and the Cavaliers should be able to easily enter the finals. If other teams don't have big trades, they can enter the finals for several consecutive years, but facing the top four teams in the West, all of them will be able to make it to the finals. No advantage, I think the Clippers can clean up the Cavaliers, no kidding, and I'll prove it this season."

Yang Rui likes to pretend to be a genius. In his previous life, the Heat's Big Three played poorly in the first season, only winning 58, the Bulls won the best record with 62 wins, and Derrick Rose also won the MVP.

In this life, Rose definitely has no chance to win the MVP. Noah is in the Blazers, Boozer has joined the 76ers, and McGrady has joined the Pistons.He teamed up with Brand and Artest, who were in serious decline, and had no competitiveness.

The reporter asked: "Which team do you think is the Clippers' biggest competitor?"

"For this season, only the Mavericks. The Spurs' small forward position has become weaker, so don't be afraid. I think as long as they beat the Mavericks, the Clippers can win a championship this season."

The reporters felt that there was another big news to write, and Yang Rui didn't care about the Cavaliers or the Lakers at all.

Yang Rui is not complimenting the Mavericks, but they are really strong.

Last season, the Mavericks traded Josh Howard for Tayshaun Prince from the Pistons.In the original time and space, they should have exchanged for Caron Butler. Unfortunately, Butler was injured in the mid-term and reimbursed, so in the 2010-11 season, the Mavericks won the championship and were not the best team to play.

Because of the butterfly effect over the years, many teams have changed. The Pistons do not have Hamilton and need to strengthen their offense. Prince is weak in defense and offense, which does not conform to the idea of ​​reconstruction, so they made a trade.

The Pistons' idea was to bet on Howard getting back to the top, but this guy is obviously a sucker for marijuana, otherwise the Mavericks wouldn't trade him.The Mavericks do not lack scorers, but they lack defensive flanks. Prince is just right, so the Mavericks were very strong last season, but only narrowly lost to the Spurs.

This season, the Mavericks also introduced Deshaun Stevens, a defensive swingman who can be a pseudo-starter at No. 2. Most of the time, the Mavericks play double guards, Kidd defends No. 2, Terry, Barry Asia is in charge of the offense.

The striker is Prince and Marion sharing the playing time. Marion can also play the 4th position to strengthen the defense of the pick-and-roll. This kind of defense can be called "invincible" against the outside world, which can make up for Marc Gasol's slow movement and prevent the pick-and-roll. Bad disadvantage.

The Mavericks have two major offensive players inside, Dirk Nowitzki and Pau Gasol, who can both pull out to shoot and support the offense.

Although the Mavericks only have one big-name star, Dirk Nowitzki, but the lineup is the first in the league. Yang Rui is under a lot of pressure to see, and is stronger than the Mavericks who won the championship in his previous life.

In the previous life, the Mavericks traded with the Bobcats for Tyson Chandler. The defense was stronger than Gasol, and the offense was not on the same level as Gasol.It's hard to say who is stronger or weaker.

Rick Carlisle is an excellent coach. He is not a "Jerry type", but his team building method and rotation are similar to Yang Rui's.

That night, several of the largest media in North America released news together, and Yang Rui grabbed the headlines.

James claims to lead the Cavaliers to win 8 championships. Kobe also said that the Lakers’ goal in the new season is to win the championship. Many media began to promote 23VS24 (James did not change his name in the Cavaliers), but Yang Rui looked down on them and optimistic about the Mavericks. surprise.

In online discussions, fans are paying more attention to the Clippers because Yang Rui is too crazy.

"Jerry Yang turned his back, saying that the new season will create a city of alleys, slaughter the Lakers, and the derby battle is about to start."

"Can Chris Paul win the regular season MVP? Become the new perimeter superstar?"

"Jerry Young issued a declaration of championship competition. The most optimistic opponent is the Mavericks. He regrets the Lakers and Cavaliers."

"Is the basketball pope arrogant, or the beginning of another miracle?"
