Chapter 549 [The best record, with ease]

Chapter 549 [The best record, with ease]

Yang Rui again attracted the attention of many fans with his announcement of winning the championship and made headlines.

Only a few people say he is arrogant, and most people wait to see him create new miracles.The Raptors' record is also obtained by him, and it seems that he can't say anything crazy.

The media hopes that the coaches and players of other teams can stand up to Yang Rui. That is big news, but no one dares to do so. When asked about the Lakers, they all said that the Lakers are the best team.

In the NBA, strength and confidence are always proportional.

The Lakers' public training sessions attracted more media and fans, and they were still held at the Staples Center as usual, and were broadcast live on local stations.

The Clippers, who are also in Los Angeles, do not have this kind of treatment. No wonder fans are biased. The Clippers are a magical team.

Since moving to Los Angeles in 1984, the Clippers have never gotten rid of the identity of the belly team, and they are completely rotten.They made the playoffs only once in 1991-92 after Donald Sterling became owner.Except for those with masochistic tendencies, who would become a diehard fan of such a team?

The Lakers’ intra-team confrontation was very exciting. Both sides had a fast attack and defense rhythm. They didn’t defend. Players came and went and staged a lot of dunks. Even Yao Ming made a fast break through one-stop, showing his solid basic dribbling skills.

The teammates are very tacit, they won't go all out to steal, and they don't care if they reach out.Yao Ming can perform as long as he dribbles the ball without making mistakes.He dribbled the ball under the crotch and dribbled the ball behind the back, then turned around and dunked with one hand. The movement was very smooth, and the fans who watched it were stunned.

Andre Iguodala is the best on the outside, with eight dunks, alley-oops, changing hands behind his back, and folding his back, making fans feast for the eyes.

In terms of rookies, Ellis also performed well, with a strong impact, and he could even pull up a layup when he hit the basket.Lou Williams is inferior, the confrontation is poor, and he is still a little hard to let go. He needs to exercise. He will not get too many playing opportunities in the new season. He will be a marginal person at No. 1 and the last choice.

After the training camp, the players began to practice tactics.

The starting tactic has been formed, and it has not changed from last season. It is to rely on the individual ability of the stars to cooperate in a small range, but Mo Williams has been promoted from the bench to the starter.

Last season, we needed a ball-handling point in the second quarter. Mo Williams was a good substitute. Ellis was newly signed to the team. Yang Rui didn’t plan to let this rushing man go idle with the 191cm tall point guard. Damon Jones playing together can complement each other.

Lamar Odom, Diaw, and Ariza were deployed in the frontcourt. The speed of the three was not slow, and the counterattack would be sharper than last season.

The fringes of the team are Diop, Walton, Lewis, and Barnes.

Restricting free agent Diop from entering the free market has waited until September, and the Mavericks offered him the largest contract, 9 million for three years, and the third year is a team option.

The Lakers management resolutely matched this contract. Although Diop’s offense is terrible and he has little playing time, he usually only plays for a few minutes, but a player of his type must have one. When the opponent has a strong man who is good at attacking, he will be sent to the court. , can reduce Yao Ming's pressure.

In the preseason game in October, Yang Rui asked the "drug-addicting group" to play soy sauce, and only played about 10 minutes per game.

Yao Ming didn't make many air cuts. He mainly waited for the ball to return in the middle after the pick-and-roll, and made three-pointers.

He only practiced one point in the middle of the three-pointer in the summer, and the effect was remarkable. During training, the shooting percentage in the middle can be compared with Kobe, which is jaw-dropping, guaranteeing a shooting rate of about 70%.However, Kobe can also shoot from other positions, Yao Ming is in the middle, and other positions are not allowed to make three points.

Yang Rui focused on the outside line in the preseason. The inside line mainly relied on Rasheed, Lamar Odom, and Dior. Dior, who played the most time, only played 26 minutes.

Mo Williams and Iguodala performed well on the outside. They both trained with Ariza and Walton in the summer and both improved.

The two also have tactical benefits. The star teammates can attract the center of gravity of defense. The two are often the ones who are shorted. Even if they are not shorted, they can also get the opportunity to single out the inside line in a dislocation, and they can play with ease.

On the basis of the original pick-and-roll and triangle offense, Yang Rui increased the proportion of the Eagles offense.The opponent's zone defense shrinks to the vicinity of the penalty area, looking for three-point opportunities on the wings and front.If the opponent's defense expands, the big man is pulled out, and the flank and bottom line players are cut to the rim.

The Lakers went 6-1 in the preseason, with their only loss to the Suns.Bryant only played 15 minutes, Rasheed truce, and the Lakers obviously have spare power.

The Suns didn't make big trades in the summer, adding [-]-point shooting small forward James Jones and guard Eddie House.If the insider failed to make a deal with the Knicks, there would be no Kurt Thomas in Yang Rui's previous life, and he could only rely on O'Neal Jr.The bench inside signed Brian Grant, who was pardoned by the Heat, and white center Mim.

The overall strength of the sun is still stronger than Yang Rui's previous life. Although there is no Dior, Grant Hill is definitely better.

The Western Spurs, the Eastern Heat and the Bulls have reservations. The Lakers achieved the best record in the preseason and ranked first in the first power list.

It is worth mentioning that the Knicks' ranking has risen a lot, just because the "Zen Master" joined the 14th place, and many people are optimistic that they can enter the playoffs.

In the summer, the Knicks signed rookies Bynum, Nate Robinson, free agent Jim Jackson, and dug out Supersonic striker Radmanovic, plus Ben Wallace, Marbury, and power forward Osei. La Harnington, small forward Quentin Richardson and others seem promising.

However, Yang Rui felt that the wisdom of the "Zen Master" would be ruined by the Knicks, and it would be difficult to lead the team into the playoffs. As a constructive coach, he only analyzed the strength of the players through the data of the last season and built the team, which is not very good. allow.

Jim Jackson and Richardson's condition has declined, they will pull up jumpers, Radmanovic will go downhill after leaving the Supersonics, a few inside players have no attack power and can't pull it off, Bynum is too young. Practice slowly, the Knicks have too many weaknesses.

Of course, "Zen Master" is better than "Assassin" Thomas, at least he didn't sign and trade with the Bulls for Eddie Curry. In Yang Rui's previous life, Thomas overdrafted his future and sent two first-round draft picks in exchange for no deal. Here comes the fat guy on defense, who unfortunately was diagnosed with a heart attack last season.

When Curry joined the Knicks, he was very puzzled. Is Thomas the father that my son wants to support and can't wait for?

Because of Martin, the Nets have a tight cap space. They directly gave up Curry and let him enter the free market. Whoever wants to sign it.

Then, Rockets general manager Dawson was just like digging Morris Taylor back then. He had a discerning eye and signed Curry for 6 million in 5600 years. Many people in Houston thought they were coming to the rescue.

On March 3 this year, rocket boss Alexander gave Dawson an indefinite contract to reward him for his 28 years of service to Space City.Dawson is admirable in personality and controversial in management, which is a big pit.

Dawson naively thought that as long as he found someone to help Curry lose weight and control his weight, he would be a very good insider. After all, his talent in the draft was too amazing. Last season, he averaged 16.1 points and 5.4 points per game with the Nets. Rebounding, a career high.

The problem is, a 213CM big center plays 30 minutes and averages 5.4 rebounds and 0.9 blocks per game. At first glance, he is not defensive.And how easy is it to lose weight?There is an example in Yang Rui's family.

At the end of October, the Lakers team had a two-day holiday, and the home opener on November 10, the opponent was the Suns in the same district.
