Chapter 798 [Dynasty ambition, fans rest assured]

On the media day, Shirley wanted to follow Yang Rui to the arena to join in the fun, but the NBA training camp is much more formal than the U16 training camp. If Yang Rui brings her children again, it will affect her morale, so she can only be left at home.

Shirley cried and made troubles to no avail. In the end, she could only stay at home and play with toys, and wait until Yang Rui got off work to pester him.

The number of media who came to interview the Clippers was the largest in the league. There were an additional [-] seats in the venue, and there were still not enough people standing to film. Many reporters had to wait outside.

Yang Rui ordered seven people to take core makeup photos in one go, Curry, Danny Green, Rudy Gay, Parsons, Faried, Griffin, and Chandler.

Yang Rui shows that he needs to play more offensive tactics, and these seven players will definitely get a lot of performance opportunities.

Green is still very happy. Although he was already in the position last season, he became the starter in the playoffs, and squeezed out Korver and Tony Allen in the summer, but he still hopes to get a core name to satisfy him. Little vanity.

Yang Rui answered reporters' questions without pretending to be mysterious, and even said some thoughts on tactics.His primary purpose is to reassure Clippers fans, who feel that the Clippers lineup is weak and not as strong as last season, making it difficult to defend the title.

The reporter asked: "Many people are concerned that the team's second team is not led, because Curry is going to start. Who will be the best sixth man for the Clippers in the new season?"

"Like last season when Paul was injured, Gay is in charge of the bench. He can help the team on both ends of the floor. We still have the best bench bandit in the league."

Guy has won two championships with the Clippers and has accumulated a wealth of game experience. There is no secret at all.

As long as Gay is on the bench, there will be a strong ball-handling point in the second quarter, even if the opponent is guarded.Gay's three-pointers have been unstable, and he made few shots. The starter and Curry and Griffin grabbed the ball. The emptying effect is not very good, and it is more suitable for the bench.

The reporter asked: "So who will be the starting small forward?"

"It depends on the state of everyone in the preseason. We have a lot of people who can play."

In fact, Yang Rui is ready to start Middleton. He has excellent physical conditions and can shoot three-pointers stably, mainly without the ball and not occupying the ball.Parsons is more suitable to play as a substitute. When Gay is not feeling well, he will play the point forward and is the second offensive point with the ball.

If the two forwards don't play well, Yang Rui also has a way. He will replace Nash and let Livingston hold the ball.

Paul's departure does not affect the Clippers' tactics, and the players are not dependent on it.They will still be strong in the new season, at least not worse than the Warriors who won the championship in 2015.

The reporter asked: "Are you confident that you will lead the team to defend the title this season? Then you will lead the two Los Angeles teams to build a dynasty."

"Of course, our goal is only the championship!"

When reporters interviewed players, Curry and others also expressed confidence in defending the title and establishing a dynasty.

Curry said: "Although Chris went to the Mavericks, our tactical system is very perfect. The core players of last season are basically there, and we don't need to spend time running in. The Clippers are the strongest team. will prove it."

Griffin said: "Paul's departure is a major loss, but it will not change the vitality of our team. Of course I have to stand up and carry the team on my shoulders. When Paul was absent before, I was able to Showing my commitment. I want to show that we can still play the same way when Paul is gone."

Paul's departure will not affect Griffin's core position in the interior. His shots may be more than last season, because Paul's shots will be distributed to others.

Griffin can't wait to enter the new season. He practiced shooting during the holiday. His mid-range shooting has been stable, but his three-pointer is slightly inferior. He wants to show his "arsenal" to the fans.

On the same day, a number of media published articles with similar arguments, and Paul was unfortunately shot.

"The Clippers don't think it's a big deal to lose Paul. It doesn't affect the game."

"The Clippers believe they can defend their title without Paul."

"Dispensable CP3..."

The media likes to provoke the relationship between players and their old clubs. This kind of news is very topical. When the Mavericks and the Clippers meet, they can arouse people's interest in watching the game.

Of course, although the Clippers players said it very politely, it really meant that, Yang Rui never arranged for the team's tactics to depend on who's performance.Many people in the team have been in charge of the tactical system and have increased their confidence.Not only Curry and Griffin, but even Parsons have the confidence to be the core of the offense and drive the team to attack.

Paul was also interviewed on the Mavericks Media Day, showing his goodwill to the Mavericks and blessing the Clippers, speaking very appropriately.In fact, he is a little bit stuck. If the team is not more optimistic about Curry, he wants to stay in Los Angeles to develop.

The next day's open training session, the Clippers' group match was extremely exciting. The blue and white teams played an All-Star game. The perimeter players made three-pointers, and Griffin, Faried, Guy and others staged several violent attacks. buckle.

Curry hit 11 three-pointers, including a midfield three-pointer, which made the fans boil. Although no one recorded player data, only the total score, everyone could see that Curry scored more than 50 points. .

Curry's long-distance three-pointer is not a mistake. He usually trains and shoots three-pointers near the midfield to a certain extent. Since joining the Clippers, he has to make ten midfield three-pointers in every training session. Ray's task.

Curry himself never thought that one day he would be able to practice super long-range three-pointers into a trick, and he underestimated his potential.

Danny Green, Parsons, Middleton also made a lot of [-]s.

Yang Rui is still not very satisfied with the team's performance inside. It's not that they can't win the ball, but that they haven't been impeccable and have flaws on the offensive end.

Griffin made too few three-pointers, and his style of play was similar to that of the original, with breakthroughs and air cuts as the main focus, supplemented by pass-through and mid-range shots.

If the center can make a mid-range shot, Griffin will have no problem playing like this, but the starting center this season is still Chandler. The power forward can make three-pointers. It will definitely help the team. Griffin did not do what Yang Rui asked. .

Chandler is even worse. He has been in the league for 12 years. He can only score in the restricted area. If he can make an occasional open-space show in the mid-range shot, he can play at a super-level.

Draymond Green can shoot from the mid-to-long range, and he must be open to get his head straight, and Faried's mid-range shot is not a conventional weapon.

Yang Rui is ready to trade Faried out after this season. This man's wrist is too hard, his shooting practice is not good, and his free throws are not allowed, so he doesn't need to consider three-pointers.

The reason why there is no summer trade is because of Faried's functionality. He is very fast, suitable for small-ball tactics, and is good at rushing offensive rebounds.

This kind of interior team that can grab rebounds and has strong mobility must have it, but the league is not easy to find candidates.After this season, when Green is trained to take on more tasks, that's when Faried leaves.

As long as Faried has good data this season, the transaction value must be high, and Yang Rui is ready to give him more playing time in the regular season.Sending away after three years is to maximize the benefits, that is, after three years of combat power, if you stay next season, if you don’t renew the contract with a high salary, you will be let go.

The lack of people who are good at shooting three-pointers in the Clippers is a disadvantage, but it is not fatal. Yang Rui will make up for it with mobility. He wants to hit the team's scoring record in a single season, not a joke.
