In every game of the Raptors, some people play abnormally, and some people feel hot. Yang Rui will allocate playing time according to the player's status.

O'Neal, Miller, and Tracy McGrady won't get in the way in this win over the Lakers. Carter, Billups, and Christie supported the team's offense.

Billups made 8 of 14 shots, 6 of 10 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 26 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists. His efficiency was super high, and he scored 13 points in the final quarter.

In addition to free throws, O'Neal's weakness is that he doesn't like pick-and-roll defense. He usually tackles bigs around the paint, blocks driving guards, dominates the rim, and allows guards to chase.

The Raptors players stretched out and shot the ball on the outside, and their teammates often couldn't catch up. O'Neal was forced to defend, and the inside advantage could not be brought into play.

After the game, Phil Jackson spoke highly of Yang Rui. "Jerry Young is an excellent coach. He knows how to play the player's strengths and play a perfect game. The Raptors are very likely to break out in the East this season. I look forward to the next contest between the two sides. The current Lakers are not the best team, etc. With Kobe back, we'll be stronger."

The reporter asked: "Many people think that the Raptors also play a triangle offense. How does it compare with the Bulls you led?"

"There's no way to compare. They play more like the Kings' Princeton tactics, but the stars take up a larger proportion, which is different from my system." Jackson replied.

When Jackson was in the Bulls, he never let the center pull out to be an organizer, let alone let the guards run on both sides to throw three-pointers like Yang Rui. O'Neal had a lot of assists, and he scored the ball after attracting double-teams in the low post.

In terms of personal ability, O'Neal has completely exploded the Raptors inside, but Jackson knows very well that the Raptors' center is equally powerful and can drive the team to play. This season, the Raptors are definitely the biggest obstacle on the way for the Lakers to win the championship.

After a day off, the Raptors changed their tactics to running and bombing, beating the Suns 133-91.

The Suns introduced veterans Luke Langley and Gugliotta as starters in the summer. The speed of the center and small forwards can be said to be the slowest in the league. "Penny" Anfernee Hardaway and Jason Kidd's perimeter combination is famous enough, but the speed is also not fast.

Kidd and power forward Clifford Robinson are the only ones who don't suffer from the speed of the team. How to play this game?

Yang Rui gave Boykins 23 minutes of playing time and arranged pick-and-roll tactics for him. Facing the Raptors abandoner in the second quarter, Oliver Miller, a 206cm tall, 130kg fat man, Boykins broke through too easily. He made 7 of 12 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, 17 points and 3 assists.

Back to back against the Nuggets,

The Raptors encountered an unexpected challenge.

The Nuggets' style of play is imitated by the Raptors last season. The former Lakers star point guard, "Madman" Van Exel, is responsible for attacking and organizing with the ball. The two swingmen Ron Mercer and Posey are very mobile, and the insiders LaFrentz and McDyess can both pull out and shoot.

Although there is no super scorer, the Nuggets scored in double figures with 7 players and worked hard on defense.

The league's well-known spring man insider McDyess reached his peak last season, averaging 21.2 points and 10.7 rebounds per game. He can help the team on both offense and defense and is an All-Star level. O'Neal's style is similar to his, inexperienced, and the matchup is at a disadvantage.

Van Exel had poor passing vision and liked to work alone, so he was not suitable to partner with O'Pang, so he was sent away by the Lakers. He can shoot suddenly, is fast, and is the type that Billups hates.

After all, the copycat team failed to play the original game. Even if the Raptors starters were in poor condition, the substitute players scored 61 points and still won the game. Hornacek and Tracy McGrady scored 22 and 24 points respectively.

Hornacek became the number one player in the last quarter, hit three three-pointers, faked Mercer's throw, and 11 points directly decided the outcome.

115 to 109, the Raptors narrowly won. All major media in North America praised it.

"The Raptors have won 12 consecutive victories. Even if the core performance is abnormal, they still have a way to win. If they continue to be strong in the future, they are likely to win the regular season championship. It is not impossible for Carter to become the regular season mvp!"

"Unbelievable! In the summer, many people said that the Raptors were lucky enough to reach the Eastern Conference Finals because of the shortened season and the team had no injuries. When Jerry Young said at the press conference that the goal is to win the championship, countless people laughed at him for being overconfident. Now What? Reality has slapped those who underestimated the Raptors!"

"People must admit that Jerry Young is an amazing, capable basketball coach. Forget his age. He is as good as any coach in basketball. He has built the Raptors into a championship team. Jerry Young is not pleasing to the eye It's time for the media to give some positive reports, otherwise people will doubt their motives."

"Jerry Young is like the messenger sent by God to the Raptors. Carter, Tracy McGrady and O'Neal are the chosen ones."

In fact, even Canadian fans, even Chinese fans, when Yang Rui shouted the championship slogan, their first thought was "this person is crazy".

Fans support Yang Rui because he brought a gorgeous offense to the Raptors. Besides, who do you support if you don't support the home team? Most people believe that "defense wins championships" is the truth. This argument has been said for too many years.

The situation has changed now. The Raptors rely on offense to crush their opponents every game. Although they conceded a lot of points, they seem invincible. It is even more shocking than the Bulls in 1996.

The Bulls averaged 105.2 points per game in 1996. During the Raptors' 12-game winning streak, they averaged 122.2 points per game. The Raptors have 2 more, and 2 more. In the 1981-1982 season, the Nuggets averaged 126.5 points per game. The historical record is not far away.

Fans didn't dare to think about this kind of thing before. The Raptors' offense has always been the worst in the league. There were rumors that they and one of the Grizzlies would move out of Canada. I don't know when the team will be gone.

This season, the Raptors have given fans hope that they can pursue that unattainable championship. This kind of ecstasy is difficult to describe in words.

When he was in the Knicks, the media promoted Yang Rui only because of his Chinese identity and used this as a gimmick. When he arrived in the Raptors, he became a star, and his exposure rate was the highest among the coaches.

On November 25th, there is no game on Thanksgiving Day, and the team is on holiday, so Yang Rui can't stay idle. Three media want to interview him, including China CCTV5.

Yang Rui knows how terrifying the number of Chinese fans will be in the future, so of course he has to build a good relationship with CCTV.

After making an appointment, Yang Rui hung up the phone and sighed: "Hey, it's really troublesome when someone becomes famous. What can I interview? Isn't it just those old questions? How many times have I said that there will be championships, and stars will also There will be."

Thomas laughed and said, "You really need to find an agent. There are so many companies looking for you to endorse snacks and drinks. Don't you just sit on the sidelines and eat for nothing?"

Yang Rui nodded. He has only endorsed two products so far, one is domori chocolate, and the other is Lipton milk tea.

Thomas can't be a guest agent. Facebook has more and more things to do and is building a brokerage team. Taxation, law, and all aspects are all clearly divided.

"Who is the right one to find? I don't know if a coach's agent is the same as a player's agent."

"If you open the recruitment, someone will definitely recommend themselves."

"Then let's do that."

Being famous doesn't necessarily lead to a happy life, and Yang Rui has a lot to think about, both painful and happy.
