After training on the 8th, at noon, Yang Rui called O'Neal, Carter, Maddie, and Thibodeau to have dinner together, preparing to give lessons to three newcomers with unlimited potential, and Thibodeau audited. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

U.S. sports clubs generally have a clear division of labor, with owners, general managers, and head coaches each having their own responsibilities.

The owner communicates directly with the manager and general manager instead of asking players or staff about the team; Players do not bypass the coach and report directly to the club; In addition, there is a distance between the coach and the players, and the coach will not eat with the players, let alone take money from the players.

Yang Rui broke this unspoken rule, and when he was in the Knicks, he often ate with the players.

After arriving at the Raptors, the young people on the team rushed to invite him to dinner, and today it was Yang Rui who invited him back. They are all rich people, Yang Rui doesn't think it's a big deal to eat together, and chats about basketball while eating.

"If you compare the basketball court to the combat field, ordinary players are soldiers, the core is generals, and coaches are military advisors. I don't know if you've heard of The Art of War. I'm definitely not as good as you guys when I play, but I know how to play, how to train, and if you listen to me, it's easier to win. ”

Little O'Neill grinned. "I know, you're the grandson."

Yang Rui had a black line, and he couldn't bear to reply in English: "You are the grandson." ”

He looked at O'Neal Jr. and said slowly: "Jermaine, although you haven't played much in the Trail Blazers for two seasons and are on the margins, I think you have a clear skeleton and talent, and you will definitely make a difference." So, the responsibility of the inside line is left to you. From now on, you have to position yourself as the core of the inner line, and you have to be bold and domineering in attack and defense, can you do it? ”

"Yes, of course." Little O'Neill trembled with excitement.

He played 33 minutes on the court, and if he had played so much minutes in a season, a contract extension in the summer would certainly not be small. As a young man from the slums, he cared a lot about money.

Yang Rui said to Carter again: "Your position is what I said to reporters, half-human and half-god." You can break through, you can shoot three-pointers, and you can dunk more beautiful than Jordan, but you can't defend well, you have to work this, usually go heads-up with your teammates, don't seek to be the best defensive player, and you can get the opponent one-on-one. ”

"Yes." Carter responded loudly.

Yang Rui looked at Maddie and smiled: "Tracy, in fact, I think you are no worse than Vince, you have super quality, you can shoot, you can break through." So, even though you're the sixth man, you won't play less than 30 minutes. ”

Maddie was puzzled and asked, "Since you think I'm strong, why don't you let me play as a starter?" ”

Yang Ruizheng said: "Because I heard from the team doctor that you are born with mild scoliosis, which may make your spine overburden and injured in the fierce confrontation." You're not even 21 years old, you're not at the peak of your strength, and I don't want to risk you for victory. ”

"I can do it." Maddie felt much better when she heard him explain.

"Of course I know you can do it, but that's later, now let's fight for the best sixth man, you are the offensive core in the second quarter, and I will arrange the playmaking forward tactics." Yang Rui smiled.

"Okay." Maddie easily compromised, smiling lazily.

Looking at his eyes that couldn't wake up, Yang Rui realized that this person really didn't have much ambition.

In Yang Rui's previous life, some Mai Mi said that Maddie left the Raptors to go to the Magic because "one mountain can't accommodate two tigers", didn't want to assist Carter, and didn't want to be "Pippen", but this is not the case at all.

Maddy left the Raptors with only 15.4 points, 6.3 rebounds and 3.3 assists, shooting 45.1% from the field.

Therefore, Maddie has no desire to be the boss at all, he wants to go to magic to hold together. Even if Duncan didn't go, he was only the second in charge of the famous Hilbi. Later, Hill was injured, the Magic lacked scoring points, and Maddie became a privileged player, unexpectedly showing his strength and becoming a superstar.

Of course, the ability of a healthy Maddie is not overrated, even a little underestimated. Because whether it is Magic or Rockets, it is mainly positional offense, with a slow pace and a small number of rounds.

If Maddie is in a fast-paced team, such as the Suns and Warriors, his scoring explosiveness is not as explosive as Kobe Bryant and Durant, and the number of scoring champions may be more.

You must know that Durant's template is Maddy, or Maddy's fans, imitating him to play, and James has personally admitted that Maddie is an idol.

Eating and chatting, the five of them talked about defense, and then talked about offense.

Yang Rui emphasized the direction of training, allowing the three potential newcomers to practice three-point shooting and reduce long-distance mid-range shooting.

"Efficiency is the key to winning, not stats, and if all three of you are averaging 20 points per game and shooting 45 percent, it's not a big deal. Don't get obsessed with long-range shots, Jermaine can shoot in the high post, catch and shoot at a better pace after the pick-and-roll, and get close to the basket or shoot three-pointers at other times. ”

Carter asked, "Isn't Jordan good at mid-range shots?" ”

Yang Rui smiled: "It's right for Jordan to shoot well, but the Bulls rely on defense to win the championship, and the strongest stars in the NBA can't win independently, and do you think Jordan doesn't want to shoot three points?" He's been in the three-point contest before, but he's not quite right. ”

Is it not accurate? Jordan scored just five points, the lowest score of any round in the three-point contest. Jordan wasn't alone, though, as Detrev Schramf also scored just five points in the 1988 Three-Point Contest semifinals.

Detreve's story is even more bizarre because he had a good first round and suddenly became a super blacksmith in the second round, and there is no one more inconsistent in the NBA than him.

Yang Rui continued: "Vince, if you don't defend well, even if the statistics are as beautiful as Jordan and you win the championship, you are only a half-man and a half-god, and you will not surpass him, which is why I gave you a nickname." ”

Carter is only 22 years old this year, and his blood is strong, and he was provoked by Yang Rui, and immediately said: "I will definitely do a good job of defense, my body has an advantage." ”

"That's right, you have to have this ambition, you are no worse than anyone else, tomorrow you will play more with Jermaine, and I will arrange for him to start." Yang Rui is very satisfied, whether it is successful or not, it is good to have an attitude.

Thibodeau couldn't interject, so he could only follow a few words, and when he came home from dinner, he asked, "You're going to change the starting lineup again?" ”

"Dealing with different opponents, sending different people, Jermaine has an advantage against the Bucks, and with another beautiful statistic, his confidence will rise." Yang Rui said confidently.

Thibodeau didn't move, and Yang Rui turned his head to see that he was recording with a small notebook.

"Can't you keep this in your heart? It's not a tactic, it's just my personal opinion. ”

"I'm afraid I forgot." Thibodeau smiled.

Yang Rui feels that he and 40-year-olds are really a bit of a generation gap, and their living habits are different, no wonder Thibodeau will be very rigid in the future with the Bulls.
