After defeating the underdog Bulls, Yang Rui returned home and began planning to have all the players on the team help Vince Carter improve his statistics.

The Bulls are still the worst team this season. The Raptors won too easily, and Carter only scored 12 points. If the data continues to drop like this, even if the record reaches a historical record, O'Neal will still have a chance to become MVP.

After returning to home training, Yang Rui called everyone together in the locker room, stood on a seat, taller than everyone, and said loudly: "I want to talk about two things today. One is that the regular season has entered the second half. Si must improve his data and compete for MVP. I hope everyone can support him together. If he wins the MVP, it will be good for the whole team, and we will receive more attention in the playoffs."

At this time, McGrady was already preparing to leave the Raptors at the end of the season. If the team won the championship, it would be perfect, and he could not find any reason to stay.

He wants to be the core of a big city team and prove that he can be better. People's ambitions grow gradually. McGrady was willing to assist Carter last season. Now that he has become a star, he is no longer willing to be Pippen.

More importantly, the Raptors are in Toronto and their geographical location makes it impossible to have two superstars on the same team. If he is not the boss of the team, who is willing to stay in Canada for the rest of his life?

Yang Rui continued: "Vince, I don't recommend you to score, because it is a difficult data to improve. Once you feel good, the opponent cannot ignore it. They will send defensive experts to take care of you. If you keep playing hard, you will violate the rules." It defeats the purpose of basketball and reduces efficiency."

"Actually, when Ewing won the MVP in 1998, he also brushed up the statistics. It was me who suggested it at the time, and the statistics were about assists and rebounds..."

Yang Rui started to talk about the method, that is, the player takes action immediately after receiving the pass from Carter and tries to give him assists. Then, Carter attracts the defense and passes the ball to the inside, and takes the shot close to the basket with a high hit rate.

Rebounding is easier. Carter is responsible for defending the baseline on one side, and the opponent is responsible for the three-pointer from the corner. He can retreat at any time to grab rebounds, and the center helps block people.

Carter was very excited after hearing this, and others also expressed their willingness to cooperate, because it would not affect their ability to obtain data, but they were just more determined to take action.

When it comes to comparing data brushing, no one in this era can surpass Yang Rui. He has seen advanced data brushing methods.

In the 2016-17 season, many players' statistics exploded. James averaged 26.4 points, 8.7 rebounds and 8.7 assists per game, which was nothing.

For the core to get good data, in addition to the cooperation of teammates, the coach's tactics are the most critical. The core players must have a high possession of the ball and the rhythm of offense and defense transitions must be fast.

After Durant left the Thunder in 2016,

The Thunder have become a veritable single-core team. While people are ridiculing General Manager Presti's successive operations that have caused the "Three Young Thunder" to fall apart, they are also expressing concerns about the prospect of Westbrook leading the Thunder with a single core.

As a result, although the Thunder withdrew from the ranks of championship contenders, they were still a competitive team. Westbrook became a superstar, scoring a triple-double of 31.6 points, 10.7 rebounds, and 10.4 assists that season. Led the team to the playoffs.

In Yang Rui's previous life, the league has always had an interesting saying. Durant and Westbrook restrained each other on the court. This statement is not without origin. When one is injured and absent, the other side can always organize and attack. Hit super stats.

Wei Shao was injured and missed nearly half of the season. In the 13-14 season, which was the most sluggish, Durant averaged 32 points, 7.4 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game, leading the Thunder to the league's second record and winning the regular season MVP.

In the 16-17 season, the Thunder only finished sixth in the Western Conference, but Wei Shao averaged a triple-double per game, which was enough to enter the Hall of Fame.

In the 1961-1962 season when Robertson averaged a triple-double per game, there were a total of 8 teams in the league, the offensive rhythm was 126.2, the average number of shots per game was 107.7, and the average production of 71.4 rebounds per game. In the 16-17 season, the average pace of the 30 teams was 96.7, and the Thunder averaged 87.4 shots per game and 46.7 rebounds per game.

Without considering other factors, if you simply convert data, Westbrook's average data in the 1960s will be about 40 points, 13 rebounds and 14 assists, while Robertson will only average 24.7 points per game in the future rhythm. 9.6 rebounds and 8.7 assists, regrettably missing a triple-double.

In other words, Westbrook averages a triple-double per game, which is much more valuable than Oscar Robertson. It is a powerful counterattack to the group that always holds the theory of "valuing the past over the present".

Of course, there is no counterattack. People who hold that argument generally don't watch the game, only look at the statistics. There are always people who think that with an average of more than 70 rebounds per game, the best among the eight teams is the best.

Yang Rui wants Carter to learn Westbrook's style of play, increase his possession of the ball, and have the ball pass through his hands in every round. His combination of sudden points and shooting will not damage the team's system and can lead the team to win.

Carter's passing awareness is inferior to that of Wei Shao, but his teammates' shooting ability is definitely much better than that of the Thunder. Using the Thunder's method of rebounding, Wei Shao can average double figures in rebounds as a point guard, not to mention the half-man and half-god Carter?

In today's training, everyone became familiar with the new style of play, which was similar to the past, except that they shot decisively and helped Carter get backcourt rebounds.

On the last day of February, the Raptors faced the Suns led by Kidd at home.

This is the second coaching game between the two sides in the regular season. The Suns' total salary reached 55.12 million, which is 100,000 higher than the Lakers.

The Suns management was very ambitious and aimed to win the championship. Therefore, even though Danny Ainge led the Suns to a 65% winning rate in the first half, he was fired and replaced by Scott Scholes.

After a lot of trouble, the Suns ranked fourth in the Western Conference, with a record of 32 wins and 20 losses. The Raptors' salary is only 35.35 million, ranking first in the league, which makes the Suns' management crazy.

In terms of players, apart from Jason Kidd, the only thing the Suns are happy about is Rodney Rogers, who was hired from the Clippers. This power forward can shoot three-pointers, moves quickly, and his data has improved significantly compared to last season. He is expected to compete for the most. A good sixth man.

Langley from the Bulls, Gugliotta from the Timberwolves, and Anfernee Hardaway from the Magic are all junk contracts. In order to produce results, the Suns have overdrawn their future.

If they fail to win the championship this season, they must consider rebuilding.

In the evening, Air Canada Stadium was another feast for the fans. Both teams had famous balloon stars participating in the battle, which was broadcast live across the United States.

Brother and sister Alexander and Nina became familiar with Yang Rui. They often chatted online and expressed their desire to watch the game live. Yang Rui gave them two more tickets.

This time the seat was not so forward, Nina was hit once and was scared. As one of the spokespersons of the Minions, it is appropriate to confiscate the image endorsement fee and give some benefits as compensation.

China's TV5 also broadcast the game live. After Jordan retired, the team that Chinese fans knew best became the Raptors, with the most live broadcasts.

Carter's dunk performance in the All-Star Game completely conquered the fans. "Dragon" happens to be the totem of China. The Chinese like to call themselves the descendants of the dragon, which gives the Raptors a natural sense of belonging.

The Chinese media are praising Carter crazily and will not stop until they praise him. This is the butterfly effect brought about by Yang Rui. If he hadn't joined the Raptors, Jordan would have broadcast the most games after retiring, and the Lakers would be the most watched by fans. Kobe's exposure rate is higher in China, and now Kobe is suppressed.

Raptors: Billups, Christie, Carter, O'Neal Jr., Miller.

Suns: Kidd, Hardaway, Gugliotta, Clifford Robinson, Langley.

O'Neal won the jump ball and the game began.
