Korean entertainment, I am crazy
Chapter 1793 Hope and Disappointment
On the 7th, Yang Rui led the team for another training session with only two tactics.
One is to organize the striker in the middle and run without the ball on the side, and the other is a fast break.
The fast break is arranged for the bench lineup. People with excellent physical quality and average players make it difficult for them to run tactics honestly. 80% of the positions are played with the ball alone, and the others stand and watch.That being the case, it's better to let them play as fast as they can and play their specialties.
The defensive tactics are handled by Thibodeau, who are all assistants, and Yang Rui can't do it all alone.He decentralized power appropriately so that Thibodeau would not be dissatisfied.
There is Van Gundy above them. The 39-year-old Thibodeau is very far away from becoming the head coach.He has a strong career ambition, has not been married until now, and is very eager to succeed.If he had no chance to perform at all, he might kill Yang Rui one day, and the weapon was his umbrella.
Yang Rui's EQ is not low and he is good at making tricks. It is difficult for other college students in his previous life to find a better job than him. His character strengths make up for Jerry's previous weaknesses.
In the evening, the players all arrived at the arena, resting in the locker room and waiting for the game to start.
The Chinese men's basketball team came yesterday. The game is scheduled to start at 7:30 to facilitate their jet lag. This time in China is the morning, so they won't feel sleepy.
The US media does not attach importance to the summer league, but the stadium is full of people, most of them Chinese, supporting the Chinese men's basketball team under the five-star red flag.
The Knicks customized an orange and white sportswear for the players participating in the summer league. The details make the players feel comfortable and morale is good.When he was about to play, Yang Rui fell behind.
"Tom, you go out first, I'll go to the toilet."
Thibodeau suppressed his laughter, his eyes all crooked."Are you nervous?"
"One thing. I was ready to sit on the sidelines after the game started." Yang Rui didn't feel ashamed.
Thibodeau joked: "Don't go wrong and go to your compatriot's side for a while."
Yang Rui is indeed very nervous. This is the first battle of his two lives and officially coached. It has special significance.
In addition, the Chinese men's basketball players can be named.In his previous life, he went to watch the CBA live, but failed to sign the CBA players. Now, he has to bring a group of old blacks to defeat the stars he once admired.
I don't know how domestic fans will feel when they see him. Will the fans support him?
China CCTV5 live broadcast of the game, Zhang Fangyi and Sun Zhengping partnered to comment.
The Knicks players are too unpopular, they can only say that the lineup on the Chinese side is a bit redundant for basketball fans, so everyone feels quite boring, just waiting to watch the game.
Suddenly, Zhang Liangyi's sentence brought the audience's attention in front of the TV."Hey, a Chinese player went to the wrong place."
Sun Zhengping's words caused many audiences to faint: "He went to the Knicks player bench, oops... Who, this is, according to the height, he should be a guard, is it Li Xiaoyong?"
"Li Xiaoyong is warming up on the court." Zhang Weiping said sweatingly: "This player is really sloppy. Didn't you see all black and white players sitting there?"
The "player" they are talking about is of course Yang Rui, and Thibodeau joked by coincidence, no matter where he sits, someone will think he is in the wrong place.
Yang Rui wore a red sportswear today, which is obviously different from the Knicks players, and it happens to be very similar to the outerwear of the Chinese players.Although the brands are different, the narrator is not so easy to distinguish through the video.
Under the gaze of Chinese audiences in front of countless TV sets, the "wrong place" Chinese defender sat down beside Thibodeau, who was in shirt and trousers.
Yang Rui was nervous when he first entered the field, seeing so many people in the audience a little stressed, he almost got used to it when he walked to the players' stand.
The coach doesn't need to play on the court, and he arranges his tactics to be a spectator on the sidelines. What's so scary?As long as he can get out of the way in time when he meets a strong man to save the ball.
"Jerry, is your stomach all right?" Thibodeau asked with a smile.
"Of course it's okay." Yang Rui raised Erlang's legs, folded his arms around his chest, and said relaxedly: "Even if I have something to do, won't you still be there?"
He acted very naturally, but he didn't know that the audience in front of the TV and the two commentators were all stunned by this scene.
Zhang Fangyi swallowed and spit, and wondered: "What happened? This Chinese player and the Knicks coach chatted? This person... he may not be a national team player."
Sun Zhengping became excited, and his voice trembled like Huang Jiaju."Is it... he is a Chinese player who plays for the Knicks? I don't know which CBA team is the teenager. He looks very young. Why hasn't the news been reported before?"
As soon as this statement came out, things got bigger.
Domestically, an official of the Basketball Association was watching the game on TV and immediately called to ask about the situation. After a round of questions, no one knew what was going on.
The Basketball Association prohibits players from going abroad to play games at will. The reason is simple, because this is China.
It happened to be working hours, and the head of the Basketball Association immediately convened a meeting, showing full authority and domineering."Quickly check and find out who this person is. Young people are unorganized and undisciplined. They go to the United States to participate in the summer league without approval. This kind of person is a violation of the rules and must be criticized no matter how strong he is."
The people below have everything they say, and they are basically the same. Without them, the officials nodded and thought that there was no door to "flying solo". The young people were doing it like a trick.If anyone refuses to obey the discipline and end up with Ma Jian, who insisted on playing NCAA, don't even think about entering the national team.
The men's basketball game hasn't started yet. The officials don't care about whether they can win or not. Now they are thinking of catching a typical.
The staff immediately called the management of each CBA team and tried to do nothing. Of course, Yang Rui has no record in China, not even a picture. Not to mention the Basketball Association, even if you look for James Bond, you can’t find it. What happened.
When warming up, the Chinese players also found Yang Rui on the opposing player's bench.They are curious, but inconvenient to ask.
Thibodeau summoned the starting players to emphasize a few tactics. Yang Rui had to sit on the side with Erlang's legs crossed like an uncle. The old god was there, and the Chinese commentator couldn't guess his true identity.
China starters: Li Xiaoyong, Hu Weidong, Sun Jun, Gong Xiaobin, Wang Zhizhi.
Knicks starting: Atkins, Jackson, Bowen, Moore, Ben Wallace.
Moore won with a jump ball and the Knicks attacked.
Like in the practice tactics, Jackson framed the ball on the road and waited for his teammates to move.Atkins suddenly ran from the left bottom line to the upper line, and Moore pulled out to cover and block Li Xiaoyong.
In this era, the Chinese basketball team is still not popular inside defense, but like to shrink in the penalty area to guard the basket.At this time, China was not even accustomed to the concept of "power forward", and Gong Xiaobin was also known as the number one "second center" in Asia.Obviously, the Chinese basketball team is quite persistent in dominating the basket.
The perseverance breaks down, and there are large vacancies in the periphery.
Hu Weidong catches the ball on the right side and Bowen defends.
China Jordan VS Bowen, Yang Rui sweated Hu Weidong on the sidelines. In the future, Bowen's nickname is "Southern Fist and North Leg Covered Crotch Pai Sanshu", referred to as "South Pai Sanshu", McGrady and Carter. , Francis, Kirilenko and other stars have been injured under his dark energy.Szebiak was the most miserable, suffering from Foshan's shadowless feet, and almost could go to DC to play a double-faced man.
Yang Rui is really afraid of the rise of Bowen, and he stretched out his black feet when Hu Weidong made a jumper. Before the game, he reminded the players not to hurt people maliciously.
Bowen is not just a shameless person, and his defensive skills are not vegetarian. Hu Weidong broke through with the ball. Bowen made an accurate judgment and blocked the breakthrough route.
Hu Weidong passed the ball to Wang Zhizhi to beat Ben Wallace. The 20-year-old Da Zhi caught the ball with his back and collided with him. His center of gravity immediately shifted.
Wang Zhizhi's physical fitness determines that he can only play well in the Asian light confrontation competition. The stronger the confrontation, the easier his weakness will be infinitely magnified.This time, the Mongolian center "Baxing" (this person's name seems to be cursed by the gods, it will automatically become an asterisk when written) because of personal reasons, the lack of a strong center in the men's basketball team is a major weakness.
After several passes, Sun Jun missed the outside shot and Moore got the rebound.
The Knicks battled their positions and the players opened up.
Moore gave Atkins outside cover again, and they did nothing else this morning, mainly practicing this.Moore didn't have to move after the screen, and stood still and waited for the pass back.
Wang Zhizhi followed Moore, who was about the same height as him, and asked Li Xiaoyong to chase. Atkins was shorter, faster and more sensitive, how could he be easily overtaken?
Many people think that South Korea's basketball level has regressed after 2004. It used to beat China twice before being crushed.In fact, it is not until the 21st century that Chinese basketball has finally learned to defend.
Although the Chinese men's basketball team in the 20th century has entered the quarterfinals twice in the international arena, it is commonplace to lose more than four or fifty points to strong teams such as the United States and Lithuania.Among them, the worst part of the men's basketball defense is outside shooting, so South Korea won twice by virtue of the quick-witted play.
How can the talents of Yang Rui's players be comparable to those of clubs?Atkins got rid of the ball completely and made a 70-degree jumper from the left, 6-0.
The Chinese team attacked, and the ball was still handed over to Hu Weidong. He broke through with the ball, and Bowen followed the interference and kept going.
Bowen's defensive experience is not as good as that of the Spurs, and his physical fitness is much better than then.After being encouraged by Yang Rui, Bowen tried his best defensively to get a basic salary in the Knicks.
Hu Weidong didn't have a good phone meeting, and divided the ball to his teammates. Li Xiaoyong was not covered by the move and was followed.He then divided the ball to Wang Zhizhi, the main defense.
Wang Zhizhi singled out and turned around to shoot, and was disturbed far from the basket. The ball went wide and Moore took the backboard.
The Knicks continued to run tactics. This time Wang Zhizhi came out. Atkins took advantage of the move. Moore took a 60-degree left and a jumper near the penalty area. Li Xiaoyong, who was 189cm tall, just stretched out his hand and scored.8 to 0.
The Knicks played a wave in the opening game, and Thibodeau admired Yang Rui more and more. This tactic is simple and effective, which is to pull the opponent's inside line out and play the wrong position.
The Knicks inside Ewing, Oakley, and Johnson can shoot, and the tactics are completely feasible for the Knicks. To extend it, as long as the guards on both sides repeatedly run like this and catch the ball from long distance shots, those inside defenses are not good enough. The team can stand it.
Yang Rui stood up and watched the ball. When the players returned to defense, Moore and Atkins deliberately ran to the sidelines and slapped him.
This shot happened to be taken by the cameraman, and the audience in front of the Chinese TV was in an uproar.
"Who is this guy? How come on the Knicks side?"
"Traitors, Chinese players actually cheer their opponents?"
"Where is Zhang Bin? One of your team members has defected."
Zhang Lifang was confused and opened his mind to analyze: "We saw the Chinese player on the sidelines and the Knicks high-five to celebrate. He was obviously not wearing the Knicks uniform. This is unreasonable. The strange thing is, the Knicks. People on one side are very natural."
Sun Zhengping took a deep breath and said: "He is sitting with the head coach, and the two communicated. I guess he may be a Knicks staff member, he should be of Chinese origin in the United States."
Everyone thinks this explanation is reasonable and reasonable. As for what the staff is not easy to guess, anyway, it seems that this will not play.
Yang Rui also wanted to be a player, but his physical fitness was mediocre. He hadn't played since childhood, let alone now?
The officials of the Basketball Association also guessed that Yang Rui might be of Chinese descent. The leader made a big red face. Just now he wanted to catch the typical model, but they didn't manage it at all.
The Chinese men's basketball team did not score a goal by Sun Jun until the sixth round. Ben Wallace and Moore scored two more goals for the Knicks, leading 12 to 2, and Zhang Bin called a timeout.
After the timeout, the Chinese team's offense was still not smooth. The star was suppressed one-on-one, and everyone felt wrong.
This is the Knicks Summer League team?A group of players that the NBA doesn't want so powerful?
They almost did not lose their position on the defensive end. They changed their defenses very quickly and were physically strong like beasts.
It is difficult for the men’s basketball team to create open shots from the outside, unable to score inside, and was resisted by the short and stout Ben Wallace. Wang Zhizhi’s strong attack was blocked. Big Ben jumped up and his head was almost flat, which made up for his height to a certain extent. Of inadequacy.
At this time, many Chinese fans are missing the "Baxing".
There were only 10 minutes in the summer league quarter. The Knicks did not change in the first quarter, leading 31 to 13.
In the second quarter, the Knicks started to inspect the lineup with five overs and fives.
Three high-quality black players, power center Luke, and a 193CM tall white man Brad Jones, who is good at shooting, play.
Brad changed to play as a point guard. It doesn't matter if he is not good at organizing. Anyway, he grabbed the rebound and launched a counterattack.Luke is responsible for guarding the penalty area, grabbing a rebound and a pass.
The defensive quality of the Knicks has dropped significantly, and the Chinese team's offense has finally opened up, but the point difference still cannot be reduced.After 4 minutes, Yang Rui was not satisfied with the Chinese team evenly matched, and took the initiative to call a timeout.
The camera came to the sidelines. When Yang Rui stood up with the tactical board and waved the players to gather together, the audience in front of the TV was stunned.
Zhang Yangliang couldn't believe it and said, "Is the young Knick talking about tactics? Am I dazzled?"
Sun Zhengping's eyes stared from Lin Yilian to Chen Yulian."He must be talking about tactics, my goodness, that fat guy is watching, as if... he is the coach!"
The on-site cameraman was also surprised, because the Knicks had not yet held a press conference to announce the new assistant coach, so the American media did not know that the Knicks coach was Chinese.
China's Internet hasn't developed these years, otherwise the post bar will definitely explode.Even so, many fans called their friends and told them to turn on the TV. A miracle happened in the summer league and there were Chinese coaches in the NBA.
Others suspected it was a dream, turned off the TV and turned it back on, thinking that "it must be the way I turned it on"!
How can you be a coach at such a young age?!
