The Pope of Basketball Community

Yang Rui talked a lot with role players and only said hello to Kobe. A sharp-eyed reporter noticed this and asked about it during the interview.

Yang Rui smiled and said: "I'm here to encourage the newcomers. Kobe doesn't need encouragement. Even if I don't say it, he will never slack off in training. And I chat with him online all day long, and today I asked him to talk about basketball. I’ll probably nag him to no end.”

The reporter asked: "What role will Yao Ming play in the team?"

Yang Rui said: "He will compete with other inside players for the inside core. I will not let anyone play more. It depends on who the opponent is and the player's condition. What is certain is that during the preseason and training camp As time goes by, I will reduce the amount of training for Yao Ming and Odom because they have participated in the Olympics and recovering their physical strength is the most important thing."

Yao Ming's injuries are all accumulated. In Yang Rui's previous life, Yao Ming, who had become an All-Star, actually represented the Chinese team in the 2005 Asian Championships. If Yao Ming doesn't play, they won't have the confidence to defeat South Korea. In the 2002 Busan Asian Games, the men's basketball team was upset by the South Korean team.

Yang Rui will not stop Yao Ming's patriotic behavior, but will only help him relieve pressure in other aspects. With Kobe on the team, the Lakers do not need Yao Ming to hold the ball in the low post and attack, and he will be much more relaxed.

When the players were interviewed, most of them kept a low profile, except for Rasheed Wallace, who has always been brave enough to talk and is also a loudmouth.

"I think the Lakers can compete for the championship this season because our coach is Jerry Young. This is the reason why I joined."

The reporter asked: "You and Odom have some overlap in positions. If Jerry asked you to come on the bench, would you be willing?"

"If he wants, I won't be surprised if he lets me play center. He has always liked small-ball tactics. My time in the Trail Blazers was not pleasant, and I believe there will be good results in the Lakers."

The Trail Blazers lose every year, even in the season with the best lineup, they lost to the Lakers. Rasheed's edges are almost smoothed.

In the past, he was known as the "Roaring King" and often shouted at referees for technical fouls. Last season, he lost his energy. He has long since given up on the idea of ​​being the core player and leading the team to win the championship, and is willing to follow the coach's arrangements.

When Rashid was introduced, many people thought he was difficult to train and a cancer in the locker room. However, Yang Rui knew his performance in the Pistons and was very obedient and unworried.

Kobe Bryant said of Yang Rui: "He is the best coach in the league, and his tactics can be described as terrible. As an opponent before, I failed to beat his team. Now that he is with the Lakers, I believe he can lead the Lakers to win the championship."

Kobe is the most confident of all players, because the Wizards won the championship in 2003, and he is confident that his personal abilities are much stronger than the 40-year-old Jordan.

The next day, the Lakers held their first public training session at the Staples Center. Nearly 20,000 fans came to watch. Hundreds of domestic and foreign media flocked to attend. Many reporters were unable to grab the media box. seat.

Even before a single official game has been played, the Lakers' popularity is on par with the 2000-2001 season.

Old Buss delivered a speech at the scene, first thanking the fans, and then thanking Yang Rui for joining, expressing his optimism for this season.

The Lakers' public training games are better than other teams, more entertaining, and there are interactive activities with fans from the beginning.

The players came out one after another, just like in the regular season. Kobe received a lot of applause when he came out for the finale. The Eagle County lawsuit was settled and there were a little more fans supporting him.

The players warmed up, practiced shooting, and then divided into yellow and white teams to start the most attractive competition.

The scores of this competition were recorded and broadcast on local TV stations.

Yang Rui and Brooks lead the white team. The eight players are Mo Williams, Terry Brown, Kobe, Hoiberg, Diaw, Ariza, Diop and Yao Ming.

The yellow team is led by Hornacek and Hollins, and the eight players are Charlie Ward, Damon Jones, Anthony Pillar, Walton, Iguodala, Cook, Rasheed Walai Sir, Odom.

Los Angeles Sports guest host Mitchell Thompson said: "Looking at the depth of the lineup,

The yellow team players have rich experience and stronger overall strength. On the white team, Kobe leads a group of fringe players. The players are selected on the spot. Jerry Young is a bit underestimating the opponent. It would not look good if he loses in the open training match. "

Partner Stu Lantz said: "Maybe he wanted to test Kobe's strength, or maybe he really believed that Yao Ming had the potential to become a star center and could cooperate well with Kobe."

Fans were also discussing on the sidelines, and Hollywood stars Jack Nicholson and Adam Sandler were sitting together chatting.

"It's impossible for Jerry's white team to win, right? I suspect this kid did it on purpose. He wanted Kobe to play seriously and see his strength." said the actor.

"Unless Yao can play to Duncan's level, it will be difficult to win. I don't remember the news saying that he is good at rebound shots." Sandler said with a smile, he is a fan of Duncan.

Old Buss and Kupchak sat together and whispered: "Jerry can really become the center of attention no matter where he goes. He can arouse people's interest in team games."

Kupchak nodded: "I hope Yao Ming can really become a star, then we will make a lot of money in the new season."

Yang Rui arranged a pick-and-roll tactic for Yao Ming and Kobe in the middle, while the others opened up and waited for opportunities.

Yao Ming played like this when he was in the Knicks. The difference is that Yang Rui asked him to observe the situation, cut to the basket at any time, catch the ball to attack or grab offensive rebounds, instead of standing high and waiting for the return pass.

The starting lineup arranged by Yang Rui is Mo Williams, Hoiberg, Kobe, Diaw, and Yao Ming, with one major leading four minors, and a mixed defense on the defensive end.

The yellow team started with Jones, Iguodala, Walton, Odom, and Rasheed.

Odom beat Yao Ming with a jump ball, and the game began.

Several insiders have to compete for playing time, and they all have a strong desire to perform. Odom first showed his good physical fitness. When he debuted, he was known as the left-handed magician, Little Garnett.

Jones brought it to the frontcourt and passed it to Rasheed who was on the side at 70 degrees, and ran to the right corner. Rasheed lobbed the ball to Odom, who was asking for the ball in the low post on the right.

Odom plays a guest role as center, intending to give Yao Ming a show of strength and prove that he is also the second-in-command of the Lakers in the new season. He formed a triangle with Jones and Rasheed, two guys who can shoot three-pointers, making it difficult for opponents to double-team.

Odom used the ball frame to explore, while Yao Ming kept his distance, preventing breakthroughs and interfering with shooting. Odom lowered his center of gravity and forced a breakthrough to the bottom line. Yao Ming followed up from the side.

Yao Ming has not gained weight since entering the league, and his muscles are stronger than in 2002. Although his lateral speed is slow, he has no problem defending the basket area, covering Odom with his tall body.

Odom has always been a starter and a power forward. He has never played against Yao Ming in the past two years and does not understand the opponent's characteristics. He took three steps deep into the basket and then took off, trying to perform a "looking back at the moon" one-handed dunk.

This kind of reverse kick is very beautiful. If it scores, it will definitely be selected as one of the top five goals in the official game. But Odom underestimated Yao Ming too much. If he played with Yao Ming in the penalty area, he would have a higher chance of being selected into the top five.

Yao Ming saw the opportunity, raised his toes slightly, reached out to Odom, and accurately pressed the basketball with his right hand.

Yao Ming's center of gravity was very stable, but Odom was half-turned, with his body twisted. Naturally, Yao Ming was stronger and successfully blocked the ball.

Odom lost his center of gravity in the air, landed on one foot, and then sat down on the ground.

Yao Ming picked up the basketball, held it in his arms and waited for his teammates to respond, completing a beautiful defense!
