Chapter 222 [Competitive competition, how can there be no competition? 】

Some people think that Yang Rui doesn't pay attention to what he says, and it's easy to offend people, but Yang Rui doesn't take it to heart and doesn't plan to change.Unless it is a coach who has worked with Van Gundy, he will save some face, and he is not polite to many old coaches in the league.

Kind of what?Iverson has a saying - I don't have to respect and fear anyone!

Yang Rui thinks that no matter basketball, football or football, in the competitive sports circle, especially in the coaching circle, your peers are enemies. It doesn't mean that if you smile and obey your competitors, they will like you.They'll just look down on you for that, and happily stomp you under their feet.

Competitive competition, how can there be no competition?

On January 1, the Raptors' game against the Kings was a coaching battle.

In Yang Rui's previous life, there was a team that had mercury pouring down the ground from 2001 to 2002, and the suffocating offensive play made fans unforgettable, that is the king!
The King's offense is also very strong this season. Chris Webber and Divac have brought the inside support to the extreme under Adelman's command. "White Chocolate" Jason Williams has very fancy passing, Peja Stoke Covic shoots well.They let fans feel the charm and style of basketball!

The essence of Princeton does not rely on top scoring ability, but puts organizational ability first, relying on the team to share the ball to play simple basketball, create dislocation offensive opportunities, tear open the opponent's defense line, and conquer with exquisite passes one by one. audience.

Today, Adelman is greatly stimulated, because he was beaten by Yang Rui.The Kings have not received enough attention. Even if a certain game is played beautifully, the media will only comment that "they are a weakened version of the Raptors."

As a 46-year-old coach, Princeton has long been the label of Adelman. He especially wants to defeat the Raptors and prove that King Princeton is the orthodox.

It's a pity, no matter how hard the King's players are in running tactics, this King really can't beat the Raptors, losing 89 to 110 without any suspense, and the loss is due to talent.

Stojakovic is only a second-year rookie, with average athleticism; Divac is a floor-flowing center, moving too slowly, and both are weaknesses on the defensive end.

And the king has only Webber a super scorer, obviously not enough.The Kings are inferior to the Raptors in terms of singles or catches on the outside.

Kings starting shooting guard Nick Anderson performed even worse against McGrady. He made 7 of 1 shots, no free throws and no assists, and only had 2 points and 4 rebounds.

The King's bench depth is far less than that of the Raptors. Jonbarry shoots well and has average offensive ability with the ball.If you want to be a super team, a good sixth man is essential.They had to lie dormant for two years before the "bench bandits" showed up.

In back-to-back games, the Raptors beat the Eagles 109-95.

Yang Rui arranged an alternative tactic of "touching porcelain". No matter whether it is an inside attack or an outside breakthrough, there are more fake moves. As long as he faces Mutombo, he will hit him and try to find fouls.

In Yang Rui's previous life, many teams dealt with Yao Ming like this when they played the Rockets. Once Yao Ming was troubled by fouls, the Rockets' ability to protect the frame would become worse.

Mutombo is the league's well-known shot-blocking king. He especially likes to give his opponent a big hot pot and then shake his finger to install 13. This time he didn't do it well, and he ended up making 6 offenses.

Without Mutombo, the Eagles could not stop the impact of the Raptors' trident on the inside. Although the three scored 20+, they were still defeated.

On January 1, the Raptors once again scored a high score, defeating the underdog Grizzlies 9-135 at home.

The Grizzlies mainly play the trident of Mike Bibby, Baron Davis, and Raheem. The data of the three are not bad. The level of role players is too low, and the record is still at the bottom.

The management of the Grizzlies has been very busy recently, and owner Michael Heisley has issued an appeal to the NBA league, proposing a home relocation plan, only waiting for the president to agree.

In addition, the manager began to seek trades, Davis and Bibby must go one, both can only play point guard, let Davis be a substitute to affect the training, start together, and the positions overlap.

With 32 wins and 1 loss, fans all over the world feel that the Raptors are going to heaven.

On January 1, the Raptors played a bad game, the whole team lost, frantically hammered, and lost 11 to 104 to the Wizards.

The Raptors didn't take the Wizards seriously at all. As a result, the Wizards, who only won 11 wins, went crazy, and seven players on the team scored in double figures.The Raptors also had 5 players in double figures, with Carter only scoring 19 points.

Other teams have gradually found a way to deal with the Raptors. They should return to defense faster and focus on single defense. When attacking, positional warfare should reduce the number of rounds to ensure the success rate.

Once the position is sharpened, the Raptors will be affected if they can't find their hands. Even Curry and Hornacek cannot guarantee that every game will be accurate.

The Bucks have begun to rise this season. Cassell, Ray Allen, Glenn Robinson, and Tim Thomas have super-charged attacking firepower.

Returning to the home court, Yang Rui increased training, mainly linked to the movement of the air cut, and in order to ensure the defensive intensity, let Boykins be a marginal man, giving Curry and Hornacek more playing time.

The two veterans can attract defenses on offense and ensure three-point firepower.

The Raptors have lost two games this month, and some people are starting to talk about their lack of stamina, touting the Bulls' 72-win record as impossible to break.

14日，猛龙再战雄鹿，卡特爆发了，全场32投20中，三分球3中3，罚球4中4，狂砍47分5篮板4助攻2抢断2盖帽。

The Raptors made an adjustment on the defensive end, allowing Christie to defend Cassell and McGrady to defend Ray Allen.

Ray Allen played mostly off the ball most of the time, and often blocked off the ball with the inside line. After switching defenses, McGrady's height was not a loss.

Relying on Tim Thomas' 22 points and "Big Dog" Robinson's 37 points, the Bucks played tenaciously until the last minute and kept the tie. Carter made a key three-pointer. After that, the Bucks missed the offense and used foul tactics. Hornacek made two free throws to seal the victory.

115 to 110, the Raptors won a thrilling victory and stopped the decline.

Back-to-back against the Magic, Carter continued to be strong, scoring 26 points, 6 rebounds and 9 assists; McGrady was very efficient, 10 of 8 shots, 5 of 4 free throws, 20 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists. The only two misses were from beyond the three-point line.

霍纳塞克也爆发了，11投7中，三分球8中5，罚球4中4，得到23分1助攻2抢断。

After the game, the reporter interviewed Yang Rui and asked him to evaluate Hornacek.After Lao Huo arrived at the Raptors, his average three-pointers per game and three-point shooting percentage in a single season set a new career high, and his scoring gradually increased to 12.1 points, which is more efficient than when he was in the Jazz.

Yang Rui sighed: "He is one of the most underrated stars in the NBA. If I were to coach him at his peak, I would let him play point guard, be the core of the team, and have unlimited shot rights."

The reporter asked: "Aren't you thinking about strengthening your defense?"

"Offensive is the best defense. The Raptors are the main offense. This will not change even if they enter the finals." Yang Rui answered firmly.
