The Pope of Basketball Community

When it was time to work, Yang Rui completely put away his thoughts about having fun, called D'Antoni and Hornacek to his home to discuss tactics, and made a careful and detailed plan for the new season.

They discussed not just one game, but the team's running-in throughout the season, how to rotate the lineup, how to allocate players' playing time, etc.

After four years with the Raptors, Yang Rui's coaching level has also improved. There are many stars. He can arrange a variety of playing styles and test the advantages and disadvantages of them. Especially with Princeton tactics, he gained a lot of experience.

Usually coaches don't arrange particularly complicated running tactics, because if they are arranged, the players may not be able to execute them. Running tactics requires players to be selfless and have super physical fitness, otherwise they will waste their martial arts skills entering the final quarter.

The Wizards must actively run this season. If a group of role players spread out and wait for opportunities, the star's one-on-one ability will definitely not be as good as the Raptors, and they will not be able to attract double teams.

Three days later, Yang Rui sorted out the refined offensive system, and D'Antoni sighed: "If we really play like this, the players may go crazy."

Yang Rui smiled and said: "So they will definitely work harder than the Raptors players in the fast break, so they don't have to follow complicated tactical moves in the fast break."

Hornacek shook his head: "We have thought about so many moves, but the players may not be able to practice them. Can you urge them to train hard and become familiar with tactics? Why do I think you can't be strict?"

"I'm a good person. If they don't want to practice and feel tired, I certainly won't force them." Yang Rui crossed his legs on the sofa and said lazily.

"What?" The two assistant teachers looked at each other, dumbfounded.

Yang Rui said slyly: "Don't worry, someone will force them to practice. Isn't Michael very good at scolding his teammates? They can just be lazy if they are not afraid of being criticized."

"..."

Both of them are older than Yang Rui,

I immediately understood what he was thinking, one was a good guy and the other was a bad guy.

That is, in the process of resolving conflicts, one plays a friendly or likeable role, and the other plays a harsh or annoying role.

Needless to say, the stern and annoying guy on the team is of course Jordan. He often made news in major media for this last season. Jordan liked to push his teammates forward, even if they couldn't do it.

Yang Rui only needs to stand up in time to mediate, persuade Jordan to calm down and not get angry, and say a few nice words to encourage the players being criticized. It is possible to win the favor of the players while ensuring the intensity of training.

When signing with the Wizards, D'Antoni was worried about whether Yang Rui could control Jordan. Because if he were the head coach, he would not have the confidence to make Jordan obedient. He was worried that Yang Rui's "Happy Basketball" concept would conflict with Jordan's ideas, causing the team's work to be difficult to carry out.

Now D'Antoni finds himself overthinking. Yang Rui never thought about changing Jordan's character and turning him into an honest and obedient person. Instead, he planned to use his fiery temper to accomplish what he wanted to do without being resented by the players.

Hornacek didn't participate in the Raptors coaching staff's tactical discussions before, but now he accepts Yang Rui. Not only does he have a sharp eye for people and arrange tactics appropriately, he is also very cunning. It is precisely because of this kind of character that he was able to win the best coach twice within a few years of his debut.

Joining the Wizards, Yang Rui is also taking a step forward for his historical status. He believes that it is easier to win the best coach award here. As long as the record improves significantly and the media exposure is super high, who will the award be given to? This award is judged by reporters!

At the end of September, Stana went to Japan with the crew to film "Lost in Translation", and the Wizards also held a media day event.

When taking the core makeup photos, the reporters found good news material because Yang Rui designated seven core members. Jordan, Hamilton, Wesley, Maggette, Marshall, Stoudemire, Gerald Wallace.

There were three people on the left and right, and Jordan stood in the middle with a basketball in his hand. Good guy, the core accounts for half of the team.

Everyone was smiling and in good spirits. Just taking photos alone made many reporters think it was big news.

Last season, Jordan only had Hamilton and Kwame Brown around him. Even if Jordan asked them to stand by his side, everyone saw Kwame Brown's fate, and Hamilton was also looked down upon by Jordan.

In 2000, Hamilton, who averaged 1 point per game, once recommended himself, hoping that Jordan would include him under the aj brand and become his spokesperson. Jordan refused without saying a word. "Hey, Rip, my sneakers are for All-Stars."

You can imagine how embarrassing it was for Hamilton when Jordan said this. He must have been hurt more than 10,000 times back then.

Now, Jordan actually has so many people standing by his side.

The reporter interviewed Jordan and he said: "This is the idea shared by Jerry and I. I will not be the only core of the team in the new season. Everyone is important."

Some reporters couldn't imagine that this was what Jordan said. Before the media day, Yang Rui had dinner with Jordan and suggested that he keep a low profile this season and cooperate with the media for publicity.

A reporter asked: "Are you saying that in the new season you won't take up a lot of shots and will help your teammates become stronger?"

Jordan said unhurriedly: "Whether the players can become stronger, the most important thing depends on the players' own qualifications and hard work. As a veteran, I am happy to guide them. I had a knee injury last season, and the Wizards lost. After many games, I was in a bad mood and I was too demanding on my teammates. In the new season, I will try to use a gentler way to motivate them."

Jordan understands that even if he curses someone on the team, he can no longer let the media know about it. Management can no longer contact the media and say "Jordan can make his teammates better."

If you look at the data, you will see how nonsense this statement is. It can make teammates better, so why is Kwame Brown such a bird? Why did Hamilton reach his personal peak only after going to the Pistons? When he was in the Bulls, his teammates left Jordan, and his strength was not much worse.

The reporter asked: "Michael, is your knee injury healed now?"

Jordan smiled: "How many professional athletes are not injured at all? As long as I can still run and jump, I can play the game."

This answer is very clever, implicitly saying that he is injured, and it also has a tragic feeling of going into battle with an injury. As long as he doesn't play with injuries, he can run the fastest, jump the highest, and take the most shots on the team, so he just keeps working hard.

The reporter asked: "You will be 40 years old soon. Will this be your last season?"

"It's very possible, so I hope we can get more wins this season and make the playoffs."

The reporter asked: "Jerry Young has signed with the Wizards for five years. As the youngest head coach in the league, he has won championship rings on behalf of two teams. How do you evaluate him?"

Jordan said seriously: "I am very happy to join forces with him. He guarantees that the Wizards will reach the playoffs this season. The premise is that I make some changes in the game and can no longer play like I did when I was young. I am willing Listen to his arrangements, and I hope he can do what he says."

As soon as the news comes out, people will definitely be curious about what changes Jordan will make. Will Jordan, who cannot score high scores, still be the familiar basketball flying star?
