The Pope of Basketball Community

Yang Rui wants to be a coach, not because of inheriting the behest of his predecessor, but because of interest.

The interest he understands is to have fun. The path he wants to take is that of the famous football coach Milutinovic.

Milu began his coaching career in 1983 as the head coach of the Mexican national team. In the 1986 World Cup, he led the Mexican national team to the top eight for the first time; in October 1989, he served as the head coach of the Costa Rica team, and in the following year's World Cup in Italy, he led this underdog team, which was almost composed of amateur players, to create the myth of entering the top 16; In 1994, Milou led the US team to enter the top 16 of the World Cup for the first time; in November 1997, Milu led the Mexican team to successfully obtain tickets to the World Cup in France; powerful.

So far, he has become the only "magic coach" in the history of world football who has led different national teams to the top 16 of the World Cup for four consecutive times.

The most amazing thing is that in Yang Rui's previous life, on October 7, 2001, the Chinese national team led by Milu fulfilled the 44-year World Cup dream and entered the World Cup for the first time. This is something that even God cannot do after Milu leaves office.

Compared with Milu's technical and tactical on-site command level, his detail work is better, and the concept he put forward is "happy football".

He can minimize the interference of Football Association officials, but ordinary people can't do it. A group of football blinds pinch their waists and hold meetings with players every day. The players probably want to kick people instead of football.

"Happy football" is very helpful to the psychologically fragile national football team. Milu told them to let go and reduce the pressure. They did not appear black for one minute, black for three minutes, black for five minutes, and black for a whole day like other coaches of the national football team were in office. In the field, it has been black for a whole year, and it has been black for more than ten years.

"Happy Football" also cured the Chinese team's fear of Korea, Islamophobia, sand fear, Japan fear, striker's fear of goals, etc...

In short, if it weren't for Milu, even if Japan and South Korea didn't play in the group stage that year, the national football team would have to kneel.

When you are focused on winning the game, you are likely to go astray. The Raptors are a group of newcomers, and it is appropriate to use the concept of "happiness" to decompress them. So Yang Rui also let go, eating snacks on the field is the way.

The coach has relaxed like this, and the players also relax on the court. Subconsciously, they feel that no matter how bad the coach is, they will not scold them. Even if he scolds, Yang Rui has no deterrent effect with the snacks.

On the side of the Celtics, Pitino was very angry, with a black face all the time, and refused to comment on Yang Rui and the Raptors. Yang Rui's behavior of eating snacks on the sidelines made him outraged.

Butch - Carter did not participate in the press conference, although many people want to interview him, he did not know how to answer the reporter's question, shame on him.

Yang Rui became the focus of the entire North America that night. If it was just a big victory for the Raptors, so many people would not pay attention to him. In another game, the Knicks lost 95 to 103 at home to the Jazz.

The Raptors' offensive rhythm was fast, and due to the geographical location, it ended an hour earlier than the Knicks, which prevented the reporter from asking Yang Rui's opinion on the Knicks at the press conference.

In the finals, the Jazz played by the Knicks collapsed, and they had no face to face the folks in Salt Lake City. Now that the Knicks have added star Sprewell, their strength has improved, but they lost. Most importantly, the Knicks lost on offense.

The game was broadcast live across the United States, and Mike Breen said bluntly: "The Knicks' offense is not smooth, and the players fight on their own. It seems to have returned to the offensive routine of the 1996-1997 season."

It's just the first game, and most people are more willing to believe that this is because the suspension was too long. The team didn't have time to adjust, so the cooperation was not tacit enough.

Jeff Van Gundy is under a lot of pressure, and there are still 49 games left. If the Knicks' offensive power drops significantly, even if the defense succeeds, fans will have opinions.

At the New York press conference, reporters talked about the Raptors' gorgeous offense,

Van Gundy hesitated and didn't know how to comment.

After the game, some basketball experts analyzed that it was Sprewell who destroyed the team's chemical reaction and caused the Knicks to have a poor offense, but the "Madman" was still strong. He scored 24 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, and made 8 of 16 shots. , 2 of 5 three-pointers.

Ewing performed well with 17 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists, and everyone else was misfired.

After Bruce Bowen renewed his contract, he changed to a substitute and his playing time was shortened. In the second quarter, Van Gundy reused Childs and let Atkins, who had a stronger offensive power, be benched.

Oakley, Ben Wallace, and Jackson came off the bench. They defended well, but their offense lacked coordination.

The veteran blue-collar Oakley actually became the main offensive point, playing 35 minutes and scoring 11 points. Jackson has offensive ability and can play a point forward, but Van Gundy can't use it. He let Childs and Oakley play pick-and-roll, how can he have offensive power?

Then, in the second quarter, it became five blue-collars defending against their opponents on the court, as disgusting as the scene was.

Sprewell is very strong, good at attacking with the ball, can attract double-teams, not bad defense, outstanding physical fitness, he is a player of Kobe's style.

He has super popularity, was selected for the first team and second defense in the 93-94 season, and even took over the banner of the league's first shooting guard after a shooting guard went to play baseball.

The team has a star player, and Van Gundy naturally wants to play the offensive ability of a "madman". He and Alan Houston are both famous. If they don't want to play as a substitute, they can only substitute Bowen.

In this way, the "madman" needs to play with the ball; Ewing's tactics of pulling out to support cannot be played; Larry Johnson has become a spot-up shooter; Charlie Ward only dribbles to the frontcourt and is completely soy sauce; only Houston Mainly playing off the ball, not very affected.

On the surface, it was Sprewell's arrival that ruined the chemistry. In fact, Van Gundy's wrong talent was the key. There are as many as four starting attackers, how can the ball be distributed?

Van Gundy and Yang Rui have worked together for a year, and the offense will only be compared to the calabash, lacking the ability to adapt.

If Yang Rui coached the Knicks, he would decisively let Atkins play in the second quarter, increase his breakthrough ability and three-pointers, change Larry Johnson to the bench, and Oakley to start.

In this way, the defense is stronger in the first quarter, and there is no lack of offensive power in the second quarter, and there is no problem that the starting four need the ball. Johnson has a ring, and after his peak period, he will definitely be able to accept a substitute arrangement.

Waiting for Van Gundy, who is rigid-minded, to make adjustments to the lineup, I don't know how long it will take, and the Knicks will be in trouble.

Now that they are opponents, Yang Rui naturally hopes that the Knicks' record will be as bad as possible, and the two teams will meet in the playoffs later. It would be great if the Raptors had home-court advantage against the Knicks in the playoffs.

Externally, Yang Rui said that the management has no goal, but to decompress young players.

He has a big personal goal and vows to lead the Raptors to the championship. This year is of course difficult, so try to lead the team as far as possible.
