Chapter 466 [Tactics benefit, battle of focus]

Chapter 466 [Tactics benefit, battle of focus]

On the 17th, the Lakers defeated the Clippers 113-89.

This Clipper is much weaker than Yang Rui's previous life. Without Maggette and Brand, the two scorers left behind the blacksmith Quentin Richardson, who played very unreasonably. The core of the outside line is actually Bao Bao. Bee Simmons.

西蒙斯2002年在奇才队, 是2001年的次轮新秀。当时杨瑞根本看不上他，作为换马盖蒂的添头和夸梅布朗一起送到了快船。由于快船缺少攻击点，西蒙斯本赛季打出了场均16.5分6篮板2.5助攻的漂亮数据。

The 03 rookie Chris Kaman is even more fierce. He has already obtained the privilege this season, averaging 18.1 points, 11 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.8 blocks per game, and played star data.

However, because of the presence of Kwame Brown, Kaman played as a power forward. Both of them are insiders with a tonnage. They are slow to switch pick-and-rolls, and they are hard to form twin towers. The outside defense is very bad.

When the media commented on Kaman, there were few good things to say, and some people simply called him a defensive black hole.

In the face of the underdogs with poor defense, Yang Rui issued a non-defensive tactic, playing as fast as he can, gambling steals as much as he can on the defensive end, and the game looks like an All-Star game.

Kobe scored 44 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, and continued to lead the scoring list in two consecutive games with 40+ points.

Yao Ming only scored 10 points in the fast break-based tactics. He grabbed the rebound and was responsible for the pass. Often just after half court, his teammates had already shot.But he played 35 minutes, grabbed 19 rebounds, including 17 in the backcourt, and had 4 assists and 4 blocks.

Basketball experts analyzed Yao Ming and believed that his improvement after joining the Lakers is mainly due to two points, one is playing time, and the other is rebounding efficiency.

His transformation largely depends on Yang Rui, Yao Ming said in an interview that the two teams are different.

In the Knicks, Yao Ming and Larry Brown had a very bad relationship. In the first season, Brown didn't even want to talk to him directly, and often asked an interpreter to talk.And Yang Rui has always regarded Yao Ming as a good friend, and the two get along equally.

"He likes to talk to me, which is really important." Yao Ming said: "If a person trusts you so much that you can't believe it yourself, you must be willing to work hard for him on the court and do your best."

Yang Rui gave Yao Ming trust and respect, and arranged suitable tactics for him.Rebounding and defense, enthusiasm and game focus are of course important, but coaching is more critical.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Van Gundy asked Yao Ming to guard Boozer. In man-to-man tactics, he would switch to guards to break through. Yang Rui would not do this. He let Yao Ming stay on the bottom line, grab rebounds and block shots.The zone defense system relies on rotation to defend the outside line. Damon Jones's fault is not good, and Yao Ming is not responsible.

During the Van Gundy period, Hyde and Alston had poor defense, and many of the pots were taken by Yao Ming.Now, Yao Ming's tactics benefit.

The most obvious example of tactical benefit is DeAndre Jordan. Before Doc Rivers joined, he averaged a high of 8.3 rebounds per game in a single season. After Rivers became the Clippers coach, he immediately won two rebounds.

14-15赛季，小乔丹场均打34.4分钟就能拿15个篮板球，连续四个赛季场均篮板球超过13个，最低13.6个。

Yao Ming's physical quality can't be compared with that of Jordan, and he is better than Jordan. As long as the defensive end is out of the penalty area and his teammates help him get stuck, he can easily get backcourt rebounds.

On the day off, the Lakers' challenge came, the away game against the Suns.

On the morning of the 19th, after the Lakers' training, a reporter from Phoenix waited for Yang Rui to conduct a brief interview with him.

"The Lakers have a surprising record of 8 wins and 1 loss this season, and the Suns started with a record of 8 wins, what do you think?"

"It's normal. I said in the Wizards that Nash is a super point guard, and even has the strength of an MVP. His specialty is enough to change a team and is suitable for a fast-paced offense team. D'Antoni is good at running and shooting. People are perfect."

The reporter asked: "The Lakers have salary space in the summer, why didn't you dig Nash?"

"He must have the ball in his hand to play, which is suitable for the Suns, not for the Lakers. In the Lakers, the first choice for offense with the ball is of course Kobe, he is more offensive. If Nash joins Los Angeles, I am afraid that talent will be wasted, 1 It's enough for us to be able to shoot at the number."

The reporter asked: "The Mavericks gave up Nash and introduced Dampier. Dampier is not playing well in the new season. What do you think?"

"The Mavericks are strong this season. They are not a fast-paced team and need to strengthen their interior defense. Dampier's numbers have indeed dropped, but the Mavericks need a meat shield center. There is no particularly good free agent interior in the summer, small There is no choice for cattle, the most important thing is a reasonable lineup." Yang Rui smiled.

This Sun is no weaker than Yang Rui's previous Sun in the 2004-2005 season, or even slightly better.Raja Bell joined in advance, although Joe Johnson was gone, but there was an experienced Grant Hill.

Hill's life changed. He shared the ball with Sprewell in the Knicks, and shared the ball with two star teammates in the Suns, which led to an early change in the style of the game, reducing the number of drives with the ball, and the shooting and defense of the ball. development.

The Suns medical team has done a very good job of maintaining Hill's knee. Hill was healthy in the second half of last season and has played a role this year.The only weakness is that Hill's three-point shooting ability is not as good as Joe Johnson.

Marion and Shaquille O'Neal can hit and run, and they can also fight on the ground.Backup guard Barbosa has improved significantly this season and has become the best sixth man for the Suns. The swingman also has Jim Jackson, a high-quality veteran.

The most important person in the Suns is of course Nash. After joining the Suns, he felt like a duck to water, launched counterattacks, organized passes, caught and shot, and made breakthroughs with the ball.

The most important thing is that the defense of this Suns team is better than Yang Rui's previous life. Except for Nash, the starting four are good at defense. They averaged 110.6 points per game and only lost 101 points. The offensive power is second only to the Lakers, ranking second in the league.

This game is the focus of this round. Countless fans around the world are waiting to watch. During the promotion of the league, in addition to the star duel, it also launched the "Yang Rui VS D'Antoni" gimmick, the best coach battle.

That night, the Suns' home stadium was full.

The team's record has improved, and the Sun audience has also increased, and it has become the famous devil's home in the league.When the Suns star came out, they were greeted with applause, and Kobe was booed when he came out.

Yang Rui shook hands with D'Antoni on the sidelines and exchanged a few words.

Both are contenders for the Coach of the Year award, with D'Antoni having a slight edge.

The improvement of the Suns' winning rate will definitely not be greater than that of the Lakers. D'Antoni has never won the best coach, and Yang Rui has won it three times.If he wins again, Yang Rui will be No. 1 in history. Both the league and the reporters will definitely take these factors into consideration.

Bell and O'Neal also greeted Yang Rui. They have all cooperated with Yang Rui and won the championship and raised their value. They are very grateful to Yang Rui.

After the warm-up, the players from both sides came out.

Five Lakers: Mo Williams, Kobe, Iguodala, Rasheed Wallace, Yao Ming.

Sun Five: Nash, Bell, Hill, Marion, O'Neal Jr.

Just looking at the lineup shows that Yang Rui is serious. He did not let Jones, the worst defensive player, play, but used the faster Mo Williams, in order to strengthen the defense, otherwise Nash will definitely show his power.
