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.

Atkins received a pass from Jackson, took a 70-degree jumper from the left, and the ball went into the net with a hollow, huh!3 to 0.Yang Rui continued to ask: "Stephen Jackson graduated from high school to participate in the draft. The Suns suspected that you have a triad background, so they gave up signing. What is your goal?"

"Of course it is to play the NBA and become a star. Those on the Suns have brain problems. I can't ignore those brothers who have been for many years just to play basketball, right?" Jackson did not deny that he knew the underworld, and would rather be suspected than lie.

People with this kind of character are easy to suffer, but they are not annoying because of his "reality".

"You are loyal. You must treat your teammates as brothers on the basketball court and advance and retreat together. One thing I agree with is that the people in the sun have brain problems, and the shortcomings they identify are your strengths. As long as you can impress me with your skills, I will be strong. Make sure you play the preseason for the Knicks and try to get a contract for you."

"Really?" It was an 18-year-old after all, Jackson was overjoyed, watching Jerry's eyes shine.Nothing touches people's hearts more than actual benefits.

"Of course it's true, do you have an agent? Don't forget to pay me a commission after the incident." Yang Rui patted Jackson on the back."Good health, play well."

Then, Yang Rui walked to the shortest player in the team, even the shortest, he was almost as tall as him.

"Chucky Atkins, I don't seem to be older than your cousin, but your cousin definitely has no chance to stand here and talk like me, right?" Yang Rui smiled.

The aura he showed had already stopped the players.Atkins does not doubt that this is a talented coach signed by the Knicks, who can determine his fate.

"Coach, I'm sorry for what I said before, but you look really young." Atkins said hehe.

"Yeah, so I think you are very honest, what is your goal?"

"Become an NBA player." Atkins answered cautiously, for fear of saying something wrong.

"What is your specialty?"

"I'm fast, break through, and shoot very well, but many people think I'm too short and poor in confrontation." Atkins sighed, feeling unrequited.

"Boggs is shorter and thinner than you. He was the captain of the United States. If you can become a good system player, break through when it's time to burst, attract double-teams or make a transfer after a big man changes defense, you will definitely be in The NBA has a firm foothold."

"Thank you." Atkins felt more comfortable, and the coach seemed to be optimistic about him.

"How about you three points?"

"I'm pretty sure of the open three-pointer." Atkins straightened his chest proudly.

"We will try our best to show the match in a while. We don't have much time, so we will have two training sessions and we will have the game tomorrow. You have to complete the run-in within a limited time. As long as you have enough three points, I will let you start."

Yang Rui finally walked to Mickey Moore, pointed at him and said, "You get out."

"Uh……"

"Very unexpected? I know you didn't say a word just now, so I didn't ask the target. I'm going to fight the match. There must be a big guy on my side, so it's you. There are also four people in the queue just now, everyone wearing red and white vests, grouping The confrontation will begin for a while," Yang Rui said loudly.

He turned his head again: "Big Tom, you take seven people, I take five, how about a contest?"

Thibodeau asked curiously: "You thought about doing this a long time ago? You didn't like the players I chose from the beginning. Can you tell me why?"

"It's very simple. Through data analysis, I choose people with strong mental attributes, reluctant to lose, and passion. Except for Moore, because the data shows that he can shoot, my tactics need a big man who can open up space, like Ewing like that."

Of course Thibodeau didn't believe it. He had seen the information given by the scout, what could he analyze?Obviously it is blind!

"Even if they are very passionate, it doesn't mean they can win." Thibodeau doesn't believe that he will lose to the junior. He has seven people under him and chooses more.

"Let’s talk about tactics, how about it in five minutes?"

"no problem."

The two teams are on both sides of the court, playing like a formal game.

Of course Thomas followed Yang Rui and was a quiet beautiful man on the sidelines.

The more he watched, the more frightened he became. This was definitely not the introverted inferiority complex he was familiar with, and Jerry, who was not good at talking to the outside world, had changed his personality too much!

Asking what has changed in the world makes people blind.

The contrast between Jerry's front and back was so great that he reminded him of the movie "Change Face" that was released at the end of June.He has to admit that this is a good change. It was difficult for Jerry to find a job before, and it was difficult to mix well in any circle.

Yang Rui took the tactical board and drew a few quickly, and said to the players in a circle: "The offensive tactics are very simple. Chucky takes the ball to the frontcourt and passes it to Stephen to pull it away. Stephen holds the ball in the middle and sees the opportunity to split the ball. Teammates who get rid of outside the three-point line, if their opponents are weak, can be singled out."

"Wait, coach, am I not a point guard? Why is he responsible for the ball and organization?" Atkins couldn't help but questioned.

"Have you forgotten what you said? Your specialty is fast. You are good at breaking through and shooting. Passing is not a specialty. Are you really a point guard?"

"..." Atkins covered his face with one hand, he was really bad at passing.

"Puff." A man couldn't help laughing. He was the most serious Ben Wallace. It was uglier to laugh than to cry, and everyone felt like a chill.

Yang Rui continued: "Stephen, don't play around, choose your shot better. This is a test. If you play preseason games for the Knicks in the future, Van Gundy's requirements will be stricter. If you make a long shot, you will lose the opportunity to stay on the team, understand? The first thing you have to consider is the team, unless there is an open position or facing a much shorter player before taking action."

"Understood." Jackson knew that Yang Rui was doing him well, and the Knicks had many stars. How could he be a player?

Yang Rui added: "Bruce stands on the bottom line on the right. The offensive end does not need to move. If there is an open position, he will shoot. If there is no open space to attract defense, is there a problem?"

"No." Bowen was trying to hide his clumsiness and couldn't ask for it.

"Mickey gave Chucky a ball-free screen from the outside. After helping him get rid of the defender, Chucky ran along the three-point line. Stephen scored the ball. If the inside line changes slowly, you will shoot directly when you catch the ball, proving your three-point ability. If the opponent changes the defense quickly and assigns to Mickey, this is a misplaced opportunity. Mickey can make a mid-range shot or an air cut. The offensive end is active in the low positions on both sides, grab the offensive rebound, and show your strength! Grab the offensive rebound and distribute it to your teammates. Someone around you don’t want to attack again. I don’t want to see you free throws, OK?"

"OK!" Big Ben nodded embarrassingly. Last season he was hopelessly bad at free throws for the Wizards.

"The offensive tactics are as simple as that. Looking for dislocation opportunities, I will emphasize, don't fight indiscriminately!" Yang Rui believes that this is a tactic tailored for them, allowing everyone to use their strengths and not do what they are not good at.

"The defensive tactics are simpler, man-to-man, play center, defend the penalty area, control the backcourt rebounds, Mickey must change guards quickly, don't let them break easily, see who the opponent has strong breakthrough ability, Bruce's peripheral focus Take care of him. I won’t blame you for Chaki’s breakthrough and being kicked in. Okay, everyone, get ready!"
