The Pope of Basketball Community

Chapter 334 [Live up to the name, understand everything! 】

Sitting on the sidelines, Yang Rui observed Jordan from time to time and found that his temper was well-deserved.

Whenever someone missed a simple shot, Jordan would shake his head on the sidelines and his face would change.

Jordan has always been very strict with his teammates, hoping that they can perform better. He thinks it is too useless to be unable to score even if the defensive intensity is not high.

People with true temperament can easily figure out what they are thinking, and they are easier to get along with than "hypocrites". Yang Rui has been getting along with Jordan for a while, and he kind of likes this guy.

Wizards owner Abel Pollin is more hypocritical. He is 77 years old and still unwilling to let go of his rights.

Today, Paulin came to watch the game and Yang Rui greeted him without knowing what to say. Although the old man smiled and looked amiable, he actually had more on his mind than Jordan.

When Jordan joined the Wizards management, he never concealed his ambition. He hoped to buy Paulin's shares after he retired and become the boss of the Wizards. Pauline also used this as a temptation to find Jordan, but his fundamental purpose was to use Jordan to enhance the value of the Wizards.

If the Wizards become stronger and Pauline drives away Jordan like he did in his previous life, Yang Rui might shudder at the thought of this. This owner was no ordinary person. He truly took his rights to the grave. It wasn't until his death in 2009 that his family, who didn't like basketball, sold the team.

You know, Jordan's management did a decent job. He turned the Wizards, which had suffered continuous losses, from losses into profits, and also cleared up salary space. The only black spot was the selection of Kwame Brown.

Whether Jordan will have conflicts with his boss in the future is none of Yang Rui's business. Now that he is here, all he has to do is lead the team to win.

After the game, the players returned to the locker room and the fans dispersed.

Yang Rui walked beside Jordan and asked in a low voice: "Several people have improved their shooting, why is your face still so ugly?"

Jordan sighed: "I still feel that the lineup is not strong enough.

We have to strengthen our defense. "

"I will send tactical information to everyone tomorrow. Once you read it, you can rest assured."

"I am looking forward."

On the morning of the 29th, the players gathered in the arena and Yang Rui explained the tactical intentions.

"We must try our best to achieve better results in the new season. The playoffs are the first step. In fact, I would rather the team get a higher ranking and even get the home court advantage in the first round. Whether we can do this depends mainly on Let’s see how well everyone can execute the tactics. Our biggest advantage is physical fitness! Except for Michael who is responsible for organizing the passes, everyone has to run.”

Jordan breathed a sigh of relief. If Yang Rui asked him to play a fast break, he would immediately turn against him. Wouldn't that be a trick on him? Which 40-year-old veteran can run? Jordan rarely played fast breaks when he was with the Bulls.

Fabian Johnson, the tall, lanky black trainer, called each player by name and handed them printed information in turn.

Everyone didn't know what this was, and their expressions were very relaxed at first. After reading the information, their expressions changed. Especially Alston, his expression is straight out of BGM. "Eyes as wide as bells..."

The information everyone received was full of tactical movement diagrams. They were not marked with position 12345, but in positional battles, which teammate the player and his teammate would cover the movement, and how to find the second pick-and-roll, all were clearly marked.

Everyone on the outside has no less than five running methods, and on the inside there are multiple cover positions, bottom line screen, side screen, high post screen, and elevator screen with two people closing the door in the middle. The most complicated one requires three people to help Hamilton escape. .

The only position in the team that remains unchanged is Jordan. He plays the point forward and is responsible for distributing the ball to those who run out of space.

When Jordan saw that everyone had received information, he was the only one who was still empty-handed and asked, "Why isn't mine?"

Fabian looked at Jordan with a gloating smile, then took out a thick stack of stapled A4 papers from his bag and handed it to Jordan. "this is yours."

Yang Rui smiled: "Mike, because you are responsible for the organization, although you don't have to move, as the core task is the most important, you have to try to remember the running routes of all of them."

"What?"

"Of course, this is not absolute. It's okay if you can directly see the space and pass it over." Yang Rui smiled.

Jordan looked a little dizzy after looking at those tactical diagrams. Is this the secret to the Raptors' strength?

Of course, the Raptors are not that troublesome. The stars have strong one-on-one abilities and can play a triangle offense. Miller only needs to pass the ball to the person in the right position. There is not too much tactical movement. The Wizards can't do that. Players must keep running, cutting, and picking and rolling to create mismatch opportunities, because they have no advantage in direct one-on-ones.

This is how the Kings play. They run more than the Raptors. Their offense was also smooth last season, ranking second in the league in offensive power. It is a pity that, except for Stojakovic and Webb, the Kings have average scoring ability in other positions. In particular, Divac is too slow and has obvious weaknesses.

If the Wizards can develop a tacit understanding, this team can become very strong with its athletic ability. The most important thing is the organizational link. The core must have a broad passing vision.

Jordan sighed: "Are you asking me to be the point guard in the new season?"

"You are a point forward. As long as you do a good job, you will still be a superstar. We will make a difference in the playoffs. I believe you can do it. Listen to me and put scoring second." Yang Ruixiao road.

Jordan thought for a moment and nodded.

He can no longer use the assault style of last season. He can no longer decide the outcome with his personal ability. He is actually very familiar with Yang Rui's style of play, because this is the role of Scottie Pippen.

Jordan certainly knew how important Pippen was to the Bulls. The Bulls' three-point ability was average, and they relied on the screens, runs, and cuts of Hubble, Rodman, Longley, Kukoc and others to win.

Jordan can take on organizational tasks, but he used to focus on scoring. He averaged 5.2 assists per game last season, and he still has a way to attract double-teams with his skills and experience.

In the 1988-89 season, public opinion once said that Jordan was very independent and regarded his teammates as floating clouds. Jordan rewarded his critics with 7 consecutive triple-doubles and 10 triple-doubles in 11 games, creating a legend. Jordan scored fifteen triple-doubles that season, which was the most comprehensive season of his career, averaging 32.5 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists per game.

After reading the information for a while, Jordan asked: "With so many running positions, it's hard for us to get familiar with them all at once, right?"

"Yes, if we practice together, it will be difficult for everyone to have enough tacit understanding after the regular season. I have thought of this a long time ago. I have come up with a solution, which may be feasible. Don't feel pressure, but you must be attentive. In every game, I will choose two people to be the core of the offense and mainly run six tactics."

Hamilton raised his hand. "Coach, do you mean that the core of the attack is not fixed in every game? Each of us may be the team's first offensive point?"

"That's right, that's what I mean." Yang Rui gave Hamilton a thumbs up. "Of course it's not every game, but a week. For example, there are four games this week. The head coach and main tactics are high pick-and-rolls to strengthen memory. Next week, we will practice side screens, and the week after that, we will practice elevator screens... …We will run in separately during the regular season, and strive to integrate them in the playoffs.”

This method was discussed by Yang Rui, D'Antoni, and Hornacek. It combines the triangle offense, Princeton, and the Jazz's pick-and-roll. The key elements are the players' execution and active running.
