The Pope of Basketball Community

At the beginning of the season, the leisurely Yang Rui entered a busy state.

The coach still feels a little uncomfortable, let alone the players. The championship team plays until June, and many teams are out of the regular season in April. Therefore, many players have not had systematic training for nearly 10 months. If Xia Tian is not conscious, the decline in state is inevitable.

At this time, relying on mobility to play fast breaks is the best tactic, instead of arranging complicated moves and forcing a group of unfamiliar players to share the ball and cooperate with each other. In 10 months, even a team with the same lineup will be unfamiliar with cooperation.

After watching the training twice, Glenn decided to let Yang Rui go.

The effect of playing fast break is indeed very good. Carter, Tracy McGrady, Dee Brown, Wallace and others rushed with amazing speed. O'Neal also showed good running ability, top inside line, and can make fast break dunks.

On February 3, Yang Rui had made a decision on how to employ people.

After practice, he left De Treve alone to talk. It’s okay not to talk about it, this is the player with the highest salary in the team and the most famous player. If he is not treated well, both the players and the management will have opinions.

"Dete, do you have time at noon? Let's have dinner together."

"Sorry, I have to go home for dinner. They came to Toronto with me. My plan is to stay here for three years." Detlef smiled gently.

Yang Rui smiled and said: "Then take up a little time for you, let's talk here, Dete, I hope you can serve as the team's substitute in the new season."

Yang Rui got straight to the point, Detlef shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "I guessed it a long time ago, is it because my defense can't meet your requirements?"

Yang Rui's main tactic is bombardment, which speeds up the transition between offense and defense. Carter and McGrady hold the ball and rush forward.

Detleve often misplaced when returning to the defense, and the breakthrough of the defender made him disheartened and poorly defended.

"No, it's actually because your ability to protect rebounds is poor, so I was forced to substitute you. I really appreciate your evacuation, passing support, and three-point shooting ability. If the offensive position is the main focus, you will be the ball The core of the team."

"But..." Detleve knew he had something to say.

"However, there are too many young players in the team, and we don't have time to adjust. If the battle is dominated by positions, it may become a one-on-one decisive battle. Play as fast as possible to give full play to the strengths of young people and help them build confidence. Protect the rear when counterattacking It is very important to pass the rebound first. If you play with John, it is not easy to protect the rebound in the backcourt.” Yang Rui explained.

"It seems that I misunderstood." Detlef smiled at himself, as a substitute, he felt a little uncomfortable.

"Dete, you are already 36 years old. You know that the Sonics can't win the championship, and other strong teams didn't give you a contract worthy of your status, so you chose the Raptors. Am I right?"

Detlef nodded. "I want a championship, so the agent has contacted the Knicks and the Lakers. Their salaries are too high, and there is no shortage of insiders."

"I said the Raptors are a super team. You may not believe it now, but you should see that these young people have great potential. I promise you will not regret joining. Your dreams will come true here. My request is very high." Simple, trust me, support me, do what I say on the court."

Detlef nodded again, still smiling, and agreed happily. "Of course I'll listen to you, no matter how young you are, you're the head coach of this team, and I've found you to be really capable."

Yang Ruiai listens to this, he is capable, and this season has to prove this point, he does not stand out among the assistant coaches by being the youngest and Chinese.

This German has the personality of a soldier, obeying orders seems to be his nature, even if he is not feeling well, he can control his emotions, and the overall situation is the most important thing.

Detlef smiled and said: "At first I was not optimistic about the Raptors, but now I think they are very promising. Tracy and Vince are in great shape.

Even compared with the peak Jordan and Pippen, it is not inferior. And Jermaine, he runs like a bison. "

Yang Rui smiled and said: "Yes, that's why I asked them to take part in the media day core makeup photos. It is a shortcut to build up their confidence as soon as possible in this way. As long as they grow and improve this season, It is victory. I need you to help them improve, as long as you pass on your playing experience to Brad and Jermaine and let them imitate your style, they may become stars in the future."

"I will." Detlef replied indifferently: "Your goal this season is the playoffs?"

He sincerely admired Yang Rui in his heart. He is indeed young, but his thinking is very flexible and he knows the importance of training players.

"That's right, let's do it together. When the position is attacking, you pull out to cover and make a fixed-point shooting point. When your teammates have no chance to rush in, you make a secondary organization on the outside. You will definitely be able to do well."

"I do my best."

Yang Rui said sternly: "Be prepared, even though you are a substitute, your playing time will not be short. As long as the opponent does not have a heavyweight inside to attack the basket, I will let you play as a guest center forward, so that we can open up the positional battle."

Detlef thought for a while, then smiled and said: "I have another suggestion, you'd better decompress the young players before the game. I have seen countless rookies who are very good in training, but they can't play 70% of their strength on the field, because Nervous. Just remove their nervousness and we'll be stronger."

"Thanks, I'll do that."

The two left the arena together, and after the conversation, Detlef had a higher goal.

Detref feels that if he is a coach, he will focus on cultivating potential newcomers, instead of coaxing a declining veteran like him to attract fans with limited popularity.

Yang Rui positions himself as the coach of a strong team, which enhances the confidence of the players.

At noon, Yang Rui asked Thibodeau and Jack Smiley to have dinner together, and the coaching staff chatted about the first game while eating.

"In the starting lineup, I plan to use Billups, Christie, Carter, John Wallace, and Wesley. Do you have any opinions?"

Of course there are opinions. Smiley said: "John is suitable for playing small forward and is good at attacking with the ball. Is it too reluctant for him to play power forward? He is only 203cm tall."

"It's more difficult to make him play small forward because he can't shoot the three-pointer. I need him to go out and defend the pick-and-roll, keep up with the guards to break through, change defenses quickly, and even faster on the counterattack. If he can rush to the front, it can help. The team." Yang Rui explained. "Any question?"

Thibodeau asked: "Why not start with Dert, he can shoot, has rich experience, and has always been the starting forward in the Sonics."

"I talked to Dett, he's not good at rebounding, John can't rebound, we have to protect the backcourt rebound, make a fast break with a pass, and need a big man to cover the paint."

The two assistant coaches already understood that Yang Rui had already planned it out and did everything without leaking, just waiting for the game to start.
