Chapter 160 [Thickness of the past and thinness of the present, cannot be evaluated]

The Raptors are back at home, and the opponent on the 19th is the Orlando Magic.

This is a crucial regular season. The Magic are only half a game behind the Raptors, ranking fifth. If they lose again, the Raptors will fall out of the top four.

Yang Rui doesn't want to enter the playoffs just to go through the motions and be eliminated in the first round to go home for fishing, so he attaches great importance to the home field advantage in the first round.Under the premise of a best-of-five game in the first round, home-court advantage is likely to determine the final result.

Before the game, Yang Rui walked into the locker room and announced loudly: "There are 11 games left, we must work hard to improve our record, and there will be no lineup rotation in the future. Everyone should not have the idea of ​​choosing opponents, we must play with confidence. win any opponent."

"Okay." The players responded together, with a good momentum, young people are a little better, and they are not afraid of tigers when they are born.

Yang Rui continued: "I have always said to the outside world that there is no record goal, but it is actually to relieve everyone, just like I often eat on the sidelines, it is definitely not because I am a foodie, I am for your own good, but also for you to decompress. Otherwise, the rookie may not be able to let go, the opening will not be released, and it will be more difficult to play later. Now is the time to tighten your nerves, and everyone has to give their best to every game. Vince, what do you think the team’s goal should be?”

"Championship!" Carter answered loudly.When eating and chatting alone, Yang Rui had already discussed this with him.

"Yes, the goal is to win to the end, there is no need to consider who the opponent is in each round, and who to see who destroys who. We have no pressure, most of us have just entered the league, winning is a miracle, losing, we Can afford to lose."

Yang Rui is still decompressing. The Raptors are inexperienced in the playoffs, so they have to fight and fight hard to show their strength.

In this game, the Raptors must win. When the Raptors lost to the Magic, Yang Rui was very depressed, because the opponent did not have a star, even Anfernee Hardaway, the data can not be called a star, not as good as McGrady.

Chuck Daly is a recognized super coach. From his coaching of the Dream Team to the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, it is enough to see his status in the hearts of the stars.

Daly has made this magic successful. He's a straight-forward guy who hates red tape.Ask questions, solve problems.Look at the schedule, play games, win, and lose without looking for reasons.

He said that players can win by doing three things: finding the right opportunity to throw the ball, quickly returning to the defense, and getting into position.

He doesn't like to put on shows, he never talks nonsense to the media, works more than 10 hours a day, prepares for every game, makes plans, and communicates with assistant coaches.

The way he leads his team to win is brutish, and he expects his players to be as ferocious on defense as they are with a murderer.

He once explained how to make physical contact with Jordan: "Any time he gets past you, you have to hit him. If he gets a chance after the pick-and-roll, hit him. We don't want to get dirty, I know some people think that We played dirty, but we had to stress the physicality."

In short, Daly is a crazy perfectionist, and this personality makes him hate Yang Rui very much.Yang Rui's idea of ​​happy basketball runs counter to his ideas.

In an interview not long ago, Daly criticized Yang Rui unabashedly: "Jerry Yang, like most young people, is too frivolous. He didn't put all his enthusiasm into the basketball court at all, when people mentioned him The most talked about word is genius, not his hard work. I haven't seen any news about him working overtime in the arena. He arranges players to train with probably the lowest intensity in the league. It's up to the player. I don't think he's a good coach."

Yang Rui could not comment on Daly, even if a reporter asked him, he perfunctory.

This is a difficult question to answer. The status of the two is not equal. No matter how you answer, they are wrong, because the other party is a veteran.

If Yang Rui holds Daly, Yang Rui feels uncomfortable. Why does the other party dislike him, and he still uses his hot face to stick to his cold ass?Not abusing uncomfortable Skye?

He also can't belittle Daley, which will make him stand against all the old coaches, and offend a large number of NBA players, especially those who have retired in the 8s and 90s. The result is unbearable.

Thickness of the past and thinness of the present is a major feature of the NBA.Players praise old players and old coaches, and people will say that he respects their predecessors; whoever dares to belittle old players or old coaches, even if what they say is true, will definitely be sprayed as a scumbag.

This is the way public opinion is directed, and no one can change it.The only thing Yang Rui can do is to lead the team and strive to win the game, instead of making comparisons with Daly, let others say it.

Players from both sides warmed up, and McGrady greeted "Penny" Hardaway.Before McGrady entered the league, Hardaway was his idol, and the two were somewhat similar in size. McGrady was all-around because he imitated Hardaway.

Yang Rui doesn't plan to start McGrady today, he will have to fight against idols later.

The two sides started the game, and Yang Rui sent Di Brown, Christie, Carter, O'Neal Jr., and Cato.

Magic Five: Darrell Armstrong, Anfernee Hardaway, Matt Halprin, Horace Grant, Isaac Austin.

In order to guard against the 183CM speed guard Armstrong, Yang Rui did not let Billups start, indicating that he planned to fight with the Magic on defense rather than counterattack.

On the field, Yang Rui saw clearly how Daly used the point guard. Four people quickly returned to the defense and filled up at any time. Even if the point guard was thin and weak in defense, he would not be caught by others.

The Raptors are mainly quick to counterattack, and once the hit rate is not high, they will be in trouble.The Magic players will lower the tempo and try to use up 24 seconds in each round, making the young Raptors impatient.Other teams deal with the Raptors, and now basically play this way.This time, Yang Rui is also ready to play slowly.

Cato's jump ball wins and the game begins.

Carter took the ball in the middle and faced Hardaway. The middle and O'Neal cooperated in the pick-and-roll, and Grant switched defenses in time.

"Cobra" is a famous blue-collar insider in the NBA and has won three consecutive championships with the Bulls.He is 208cm tall and weighs 98kg. At the age of 34, he still maintains a strong mobility.Carter failed to make a breakthrough, and scored the ball to the middle. Little O'Neal was caught close by Hardaway, and it was difficult to shoot, and then passed the side to Di Brown.

Armstrong bypassed the screen and blocked in front of him in time. DiBron had to control the ball from the outside and find his teammates.

After Daley coached the Magic, Armstrong obviously benefited. The old coach taught him a lot of things, turning him from a marginal substitute to a qualified starter. When defending, he was very motivated, fast in pursuit, and showed his agility.

It took almost 24 seconds to pass the ball back and forth, and the Raptors didn't find a good opportunity. O'Neal Jr. singled out Grant and turned around and shot missed.Austin grabbed the backcourt rebound and passed Hardaway, the latter passed Harplin directly, and the Magic counterattacked.

Halprin leaned against Christie to dribble to the three-point line, held the ball with both hands like rugby, and lowered his head to rush to the basket.

Christie couldn't stand it at first glance and drew a foul before the opponent shot.

Halprin made one of two free throws, 0-1.
