Chapter 31 Showdown

"Hey, Liu Rui, the players are gone, don't you plan to go back to your residence? You know, the day after tomorrow is when we will face the Rockets."

Bickerstaff walked towards Liu Rui, who was sitting on the edge of the court, and looked at the densely packed lines of small characters in the notebook, showing a puzzled expression.

Is this a Chinese character? ?Why so many gestures?
"I know, but Piccolo, we don't need to be too nervous. How is the training of the players today?"

"It's not bad. In the group confrontation, Brezek's grasp of the long pass is obviously more handy. What surprised me the most is Kapono. I really can't believe it. His improvement is really great."

"Obviously last season, Capo was only a marginal player in the Cavaliers, and he only played 41 games in a season, averaging only 3.5 points per game."

"By the way, how did you notice this kind of player? I believe most coaches don't put too much effort into this kind of player, and the tactics you devised for him really fit him perfectly." This point has really troubled Bickerstaff all the time. How did Liu Rui manage to understand so many role players? ?

Not only Kapono, but Wallace, House, and even Brezek have played the best season in the league this season! !

"Hey, you are such an amazing guy. I really want to dissect you now to see what's in your brain."

"Hehe, it's all about tactics. In other teams before, they didn't have the opportunity to give full play to their advantages,"

"Bick, you are a good coach, and sooner or later you will leave me and take on the big banner by yourself, so I still hope you can remember that the really good tactics are always the players themselves, not those so-called papers."

He bowed his head and sat beside Liu Rui, listening to the teachings of the young guy who was nearly half his own age. Although he had some strange feelings, Bickerstaff still digested these advices thoughtfully.

For this Bobcats team, before Liu Rui came, I studied it many times, so I didn't take over rashly in the first season.

At this time, the performance of the players under Liu Rui is absolutely obvious to all. If it is just one person, it can be explained by the progress of the players themselves, but in the current situation, this kind of argument is obviously unreasonable...

"Oh, by the way, Liu Rui, have you read the latest Charlotte Evening Post?"

"Huh? Evening News? I don't have the habit of reading newspapers. What's the matter? Something related to us happened?"

"Hehe, of course, because you once again honored to report..."

Seeing the newspaper that Piccolo handed over, Liu Rui put down the notebook in his hand, and took it to find the sports section. In fact, there was no need to follow the trend.

And the title is really shocking...

Why did the Bobcats turn into butterflies in the new season?Why are players more and more brave?What is the magical power of the mysterious Oriental coach "Liu Rui"?Behind all this is the devil's training?Or the evolution of tactics! !
Let us use the first-hand information of the exclusive interview to take you to explore this unknown side...

Looking at the headline of the newspaper in his hand, Liu Rui spurted out a mouthful of old blood, really gnashing his teeth.

"Chen! Little! Little!!!"

"Ah Choo, Ah Choo." Chen Xiaoxiao, who was recording something in an unknown newspaper, stretched out her hand and rubbed her nose.

"Hmph, who the hell is scolding me!"

...............

On October 10, the Bobcats sat at home to meet the challenge of the Houston Rockets.

Different from the previous games, before the start of the game, everyone in the Bobcats team was very dignified, and they came to the arena early for additional training.

Barkley in TNT's studio: "The Bobcats' performance today is abnormal. In previous games, whether it was a home or away game, the Bobcats were usually the last to arrive. Except for throwing a few three-pointers to warm up, most of the players sat off the court and chatted with Liu Rui."

"And this is one of the reasons why Liu Rui is often criticized by the media. He is often questioned that he treats players too loosely and without discipline, and Wallace's interview not long ago also officially hammered this point. Is it because Liu Rui has begun to change his ways?"

TNT commentator Smith: "No, no, no, I don't think Liu Rui is the kind of guy who easily bows to the media. He has always been a guy who does his own thing, as you can imagine from what he said in the interview with the media before."

"As for the seriousness of the Bobcats today, I think it is more like the last game of the preseason, with a victory for the fans at home. To be honest, I am also looking forward to it. What kind of surprise will Liu Rui bring us in the first game after his comeback?"

Compared with the dignifiedness of the players, Liu Rui still went his own way off the field, smiling and hooking shoulders with Bickerstaff the whole time.

The bag of unopened snacks on the sidelines seems to confirm the melody of this game...

And the Rockets coach Van Gundy, who was in stark contrast to Liu Rui, directed the players to shoot with a straight face on the sidelines. From time to time, he picked up the tactical board on the sidelines and the assistant coach sketched on it.

In the summer, the Rockets sent away a few people headed by Francis, and traded for Tracy McGrady, and the attention of Yao McGrady was quite high.

However, in the team's first few preseason games, the run-in between the players was not friendly. In addition, Sura's return date has not yet been determined, which puts a lot of pressure on Van Gundy's coaching.

And Liu Rui's coaching style on the sidelines made Van Gundy very unhappy. In addition, Liu Rui's wild words in front of the media made Van Gundy even more indifferent to Liu Rui.

You Liu Rui, a fledgling young coach, dare to challenge all the old coaches in the league with your words? ?
Even in a recent interview with a sports newspaper, Liu Rui publicly stated that offense is the key to winning, traditional centers will gradually wither, and the era of three-pointers will ban traditional hand-to-hand combat.

You must know that Van Gundy is just the typical stubborn coach who has always advocated a defensive-oriented coaching routine and is convinced that the center should hit the basket and have dominance at the basket.

For Liu Rui's style of play that pulls the center out of the three-point line, I really look down on it from the bottom of my heart, thinking it is heresy.

I feel that the Bobcats are all hopeless players except for Wallace and Okafor. Whether it is a player with extremely poor defense like Kapono or a center like Brezek who doesn't hit the basket, he will never have a little playing time under his hands.

It is also Van Gundy's lack of flexible thinking on the offensive end that not only ruined Yao Ming in his previous life, but also caused him to leave get out of class early and lose his job, and was eliminated by the times.

So for today's game, Van Gundy intends to teach Liu Rui a profound lesson, to let him know what it means to be someone other than someone else, and the so-called three-point offense is a bullshit theory.
