Chapter 335 [The reputation is well-deserved, and the integration is complete! 】

Sitting on the sidelines, Yang Rui observed Jordan from time to time and found that his temper was well-deserved.

Whenever someone missed an easy shot, Jordan would shake his head on the sidelines and his face changed.

Jordan has always been strict with his teammates, hoping they can play better, and he can't shoot a goal when the defense is not strong, which is too useless in his opinion.

A person with a true temperament is easy to figure out what he is thinking, and is easier to get along with than a "hypocrite".Yang Rui and Jordan have been together for a while, and he kind of likes this guy.

Wizards owner Abe Pollin is more hypocritical. He is 77 years old this year and is still reluctant to let go of his power.

Today, Paulin went to the scene to watch the game, Yang Rui greeted him, and he didn't know what to say.Although the old man looked amiable with a smile on his face, he actually thought more than Jordan.

Jordan joined the Wizards management and never concealed his ambitions. He hoped to buy his shares after Paulin retired and become the big boss of the Wizards.Paulin also used this as a temptation to find Jordan, but his fundamental purpose was to use Jordan to enhance the value of the Wizards.

If the Wizards become stronger and Pauline drives out Jordan like he did in his previous life, Yang Rui may shudder at the thought of this.This owner is not an ordinary person. He really took the right to the grave. It was not until his death in 2009 that his family who didn't like basketball sold the team.

You must know that Jordan's management is still doing a good job. He turned the Wizards who lost consecutive losses into profits and cleaned up the salary space. The only black spot was the selection of Kwame Brown.

Whether Jordan has a conflict with the boss in the future is not Yang Rui's business.Since he is here, all he has to do is lead the team to win.

After the game, the players returned to the locker room and the fans dispersed.

Yang Rui walked beside Jordan and asked in a low voice, "Several people have improved their shooting, why is your face still so ugly?"

Jordan sighed: "I still think the lineup is not strong enough, we have to strengthen the defense."

"Tomorrow I will send tactical information to everyone, you can rest assured after reading it."

"I am looking forward."

On the morning of the 29th, the players gathered at the arena, and Yang Rui talked about his tactical intentions.

"We will try our best to achieve better results in the new season. The playoffs are the first step. In fact, I prefer the team to get a top ranking and even get the first-round home court advantage. Whether we can do this, the main thing is Let's see how well everyone can execute the tactics. Our biggest advantage is physical fitness! Everyone has to run except Michael who is responsible for organizing the pass."

Jordan breathed a sigh of relief. If Yang Rui asked him to take a fast break, he immediately turned his face, wouldn't that be playing him?Which 40-year-old can run?Jordan rarely ran the fast break when he was with the Bulls.

Fabian Johnson, a lanky black trainer, called each player by name and handed them printouts in turn.

Everyone didn't know what this was, and at first their expressions were very relaxed. After reading the content of the information, their expressions changed one by one.Especially Alston, his expression is directly out of BGM. "Eyes staring like copper bells..."

The information everyone got is full of tactical movement maps, not marked with position 12345, but in the positional battle, which teammates cover the movement and how to find the second pick-and-roll, all of which are clearly marked.

Everyone on the outside has no less than five moving positions, and the inside is multiple screening positions, bottom-line screening, side screening, high-level screening, and elevator-style screening with two people closing the door in the middle. The most complicated one has to have three people to help Hamilton get rid of the position. .

The only player on the team who stayed the same was Jordan, who played the point forward and was responsible for getting the ball into the hands of those who ran out of space.

Jordan saw that everyone had received the information, but he was still empty-handed and asked, "Why not me?"

Fabian looked at Jordan with a schadenfreude smile, then took out a thick stack of bound A4 paper from his bag and handed it to Jordan. "this is yours."

Yang Rui said with a smile: "Mike, because you are in charge of the organization, although you don't need to move, as the core task is the most important, you have to try to remember the movement routes of all of them."

"what?"

"Of course, this is not absolute, it's fine if you can directly see Kong Dang pass." Yang Rui smiled.

Jordan looked at those tactical maps and was a little dizzy.Is this the secret of the Raptors' power?

Of course, the Raptors are not so troublesome. The star has a strong ability to single-handedly and can play the triangle offense. Miller only needs to pass the ball to the person who wants the position, and the tactical movement is not too much.The Wizards can't do it. Players have to keep running, empty cuts, and pick-and-rolls to create dislocation opportunities, because they have no advantage in direct singles.

This is how the Kings play. They run more than the Raptors. Last season's offense was smooth and smooth, ranking second in the league in attack power.It is a pity that the Kings, except for Stojakovic and Webber, have average scoring ability in other positions, especially Divac's speed is too slow and his weaknesses are obvious.

If the Wizards can run out of tacit understanding, this team can become very strong with athletic ability. The most important thing is the organization. The core must have a broad vision of passing.

Jordan sighed: "Are you asking me to be a point guard this season?"

"It's a point forward, as long as you do well, you are still a superstar, and we will make a difference in the playoffs. I believe you can do it, listen to me, and put the score second." Yang Rui laughed road.

Jordan considered for a moment, then nodded.

He can no longer use the assault style of last season, and he can no longer rely on his personal ability to decide the outcome.The style of play Yang Rui said is actually very familiar to him, because this is the role of Scott Pippen.

Of course, Jordan knew how important Pippen was to the Bulls. The Bulls' ability to make three-pointers was average, and they also depended on the screens, moves, and empty cuts of Hubble, Rodman, Longley, Kukoc and others to win.

Jordan can take on the organizational task, but he used to focus on scoring. He averaged 5.2 assists per game last season, and he still has a way to attract double teams with his skills and experience.

In the 88-89 season, public opinion once said that Jordan was very independent and regarded his teammates as clouds.Jordan used 32.5 consecutive triple-doubles and 8 triple-doubles in 8 games to reward those who criticized him, creating a legend.Jordan had [-] triple-doubles that season, the most comprehensive season of his career, averaging [-] points, [-] rebounds and [-] assists per game.

After reading the material for a while, Jordan asked, "With so many moves, it's hard for us to get acquainted at once, right?"

"Yes, if you practice together, it will be difficult for everyone to develop enough tacit understanding after the regular season. I have long thought of this. I have come up with a solution, which may be feasible. Don't feel pressured, but you must be attentive. In the game, I will choose two people as the core of the attack and run six tactics.”

Hamilton raised his hand. "Coach, do you mean that the attacking core is not fixed every game? Each of us may be the team's first attacking point?"

"That's right, that's what it means." Yang Rui gave Hamilton a thumbs up. "Of course not every game, but a week. For example, there are four games this week. The main coach and main tactics are high-level pick-and-rolls to strengthen memory. Next week, we will practice side screens, and next week, we will practice elevator screens... …The regular season is separate, and the playoffs are trying to integrate.”

This method, which Yang Rui discussed with D'Antoni and Hornacek, combined the triangle offense, Princeton, and the Jazz's pick-and-roll. The elements are the player's execution and active movement.
