Chapter 29 [Eye-opening]

Childs continued to pass the ball across the half court. As a point guard, his organizational skills were really mediocre, and he was good at defense.

Mills singled out Houston and missed a jumper from an emergency stop. He just joined the team and wanted to prove himself, so he chose the wrong way.

Big Ben protected the backcourt rebound, and the red team started another fast break. Jackson forced a layup and failed to score under the interference of Starks. Wallace followed up and grabbed an offensive rebound.

Oakley caught up from behind, Wallace passed the ball, Atkins couldn't get rid of it, and passed the ball to Jackson who ran back, the latter caught the ball and turned around, raised the ball with both hands, and changed direction with the ball Pass Ewing, break into the inside line and lay up.

This time he still failed to make a shot, but caused a foul by Oakley who was defending.

As soon as Ewing stepped out of the outside line, his defensive power dropped by more than half, and his height and wingspan advantages could not be used, and his speed was too slow.

Jackson made two free throws, 16 to 4.

After Houston was strictly guarded, it attracted defensive passes from the outside. The red team's offense was still flourishing, and Van Gundy finally called a timeout. Oakley made a big defensive move just now, and he will be in a hurry if he doesn't stop the veteran.

The first adjustment he made was to replace Larry Johnson, who was resting for a while, and wanted him to take advantage of his physical advantages to single out, and replaced Mills, who had no performance.

Just now he was worried that Johnson was injured and asked him to rest. What is this? Playing with an injury in a training match?

In addition, Van Gundy let Starks and Ewing play a pick-and-roll, and Starks broke through his own attack with the ball, which could also attract the defense and pass it to Ewing to single-handedly, which was the routine of last season.

Yang Rui praised the players on the sidelines, did not make substitutions, and emphasized speeding up.

The game continued, and Johnson turned his back on Bowen when he came on the court. The strength gap was obvious, and Bowen had no choice but to be broken through.

One thing down one thing. Bowen is good at defending against face-to-face attacks. When encountering strong impact, his muscle stick that can back up is often deflated. So he not only limited the outstanding performance of James, McGrady and others, but also was blown away by Bunche Wells in the playoffs.

Big Ben defended, and Johnson passed the ball from the right to the left basket. Oakley went empty and dunked the basketball with both hands, 16 to 6.

Atkins took the ball to the frontcourt and passed it to Houston, who was running on a screen. The latter missed a jumper under interference, Ewing got a rebound, and Jackson countered the foul on the spot.

It is easy for a rookie to make some fearless little moves, probably wanting him to have a longer memory, Jogel blew the whistle.

On the sidelines, Yang Rui raised his hand to ask for a substitution. Mickey Moore, a 213CM "snake man", came on and replaced Bowen.

After Moore came on the court, he conveyed the coach's intention: "Stephen, you go to defend Oakley, you go to defend Johnson, I deal with Ewing, slow down the offensive rhythm, open up the positional warfare, and organize the striker."

After playing like this in the summer league, Jackson nodded.

The white team attacked, and the ball was passed to Johnson, who took a step and was caught by Big Ben, both of whom were short and strong insiders.

Johnson failed to break through and passed the ball to Ewing, who turned around and made a jumper to avoid the block, and the ball went wide again. Moore is not inferior to Ewing in size, faster, and has obvious interference effects. In the summer, Ewing didn't practice much at home, and it took some time to find the touch.

Jackson grabbed the rebound and protected it, and the offense slowed down. Brought to the frontcourt, Moore screened Atkins off the ball on the left, Ben screened for Houston on the right, and Jackson passed the ball in the center, adding variety.

Oakley was almost annoyed by this tactic, and he couldn't prevent it from going out, and threw the ball as soon as he caught it from the outside. He is not slow and can interfere with shooting from one side, but it is difficult for him to get rebound data, which is equivalent to becoming a pure blue-collar.

Oakley also began to admire Yang Rui, and adjusted after losing a goal, which immediately hindered the white team's offensive fluency.

The on-the-spot response was so quick and effective that many people felt that Yang Rui's performance today was more like a head coach than Van Gundy.

Atkins took the ball and took two steps and passed it to Moore, who received the ball from the left side frame,

After a slight pause, he made a mid-range shot near the penalty area against the 191cm tall Childs. 18 to 6.

It was another substitute who played right off the bench, and the fans applauded warmly. Van Gundy was expressionless, and his heart was going crazy.

Van Gundy is a man who doesn't think about flexibility. If he doesn't make adjustments when he falls behind, he depends on the stars.

It was the same with the Rockets. In 2007, even if Bunche-Wells could beat Bowen single-handedly, and Spanoulis beat the Dream Team in the international arena, it didn't fit his tactical philosophy, so he didn't need it.

Even if Yao Ming doesn't feel good, he will ask the players to pass the ball to the low post again and again, so that Yao Ming can play back to find the feel. The end is often that Yao Ming is exhausted and the team is beaten by the opponent.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Van Gundy was not clear-headed when he was a coach, and he was in a dead end. It wasn't until he had been commentating for many years and watched basketball games from the perspective of a bystander that he figured out many things and admitted his mistakes.

After Moore played, the defensive strength of the red team dropped a bit, and Ewing and Starks scored consecutively. The offense arranged by Yang Rui was not bad. At the end of the first quarter, they led 32 to 24 by 8 points.

In the second quarter, Yang Rui played Houston, who had a short rest, and partnered with Moore, Buck Williams, Ward, and Anthony Bowie, playing a 13-2 wave.

Yang Rui's two insiders can make mid-range shots, are highly mobile, pull out to attract defense, Houston can shoot, and Bowie can break through.

Bowie is 198cm tall and weighs 86kg. He averaged 14.6 points, 4.7 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game at the peak of the Orlando Magic.

Bowie did not get a contract extension from the Magic, and he represented the Knicks in the summer league, and Yang Rui took advantage of this little advantage.

The biggest mistake on Van Gundy's side was that he sent the 211cm inside veteran Dudley. The speed is too slow, and it is difficult to switch to Houston or Bowie.

Van Gundy's adjustment is to send the main force. The veterans are not to be outdone, and they start to get serious, and quickly catch up with the 17-point difference to only 5 points.

Yang Rui switched back to the "main player" in the second half, strengthened his defense, and ended with a 57-50 lead at halftime.

The two managers, Ernie and Glenn, have been staring at the sidelines, thinking about how to report to the boss James Dolan.

They have tried to overestimate Yang Rui, but found that they still underestimated. Who are Yang Rui's subordinates? Except for Houston and Ward, no one knows him, and he has never been behind since the beginning, overwhelming the Knicks' main player last season.

Yang Rui's every adjustment has an effect, he dares to play tricks, and he blossoms more on the offensive end. Van Gundy reused Ewing, Johnson, and Starks. The others were all spectators, and Oakley was blocked.

It is clear at a glance who has good tactics and strong on-the-spot adaptability. Not only the people in the uniform team think so, the fans have seen the way.

Jill exclaimed: "Hunter, the Chinese you know is so good, how can he bring a substitute to play like this?"

"I don't know, now I want to ask him for an autograph, and I often eat with such a great person." Hunter said excitedly.

Thibodeau admired Yang Rui even more, and took a notebook on the sidelines to record his employment methods and learn on the spot. The head coaches he had worked with before were not as flexible as Yang Rui's in employing people. Today is an eye-opener.

P.S.

There is a problem with the network at home. I asked someone from China Unicom to check it this morning. The update is late. I am really sorry.
