Chapter 113 [Cultivation of new people, no leaks]

At the beginning of the season, the leisurely Yang Rui entered a busy state.

The coach is still not used to it, not to mention the players. The championship team is in June, and many teams are out of the regular season in April.Therefore, many players have not had systematic training for nearly 4 months.If the summer is not conscious, the state will inevitably decline.

At this time, relying on mobility to play fast breaks is the best tactic, rather than arranging complicated moves and forcing a group of unfamiliar players to share the ball with each other and cooperate. In 10 months, even a team with the same lineup, the cooperation will be unfamiliar.

After Glenn watched two training sessions, he decided to let Yang Rui go.

The fast break effect is indeed very good. Carter, McGrady, Di Brown, Wallace and others rushed up at an amazing speed. O'Neal also showed a good running ability.

On February 2, Yang Rui had already made a decision on how to employ people.

After training, he left Detrev alone to talk.Not to mention, this is the team's highest-paid player and the most famous. If you don't use him well, no matter the player or the management, there will be opinions.

"Det, do you have time for noon? Let's have dinner together."

"Sorry, I have to go home for dinner, they came to Toronto with me, and my plan is to stay here for three years." Detrev smiled warmly.

Yang Rui smiled and said: "Then let's take a little time for you, let's talk here, Dete, I hope you can serve as a substitute for the team in the new season."

Yang Rui got straight to the point, Detrev shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I guessed it earlier, is it because my defense doesn't meet your requirements?"

Yang Rui's main tactic is shelling, speeding up the transition between offense and defense. Carter and McGrady are strong with the ball, and it can also be seen that the opponent's foothold is not stable, and they can make a shot.

Detrev was often dislocated when returning to defense, and the defender's breakthrough left him disgraced and poorly defended.

"No, it's actually your poor ability to protect the rebound, that's why I was forced to make you a substitute. I appreciate your ability to vacate the air, pass the ball, and shoot three-pointers. If you focus on offense from the ground, you will be the ball. The core of the team."

"But..." Detrev knew he had the following.

"However, there are too many young players in the team, and there is no time for everyone to run in. If the positional battle is the main one, it is likely to become a one-on-one battle. Try to play as fast as possible to give full play to the strengths of young people and help them build confidence. Rebounding and passing the ball is very important. If you play with John, it is not good to protect the backcourt rebounds.” Yang Rui explained.

"It seems that I misunderstood." Detrev laughed at himself, as a substitute, he felt a little uncomfortable.

"Dett, you're 36 years old, you know the SuperSonics can't win the championship, and other strong teams haven't given you a contract worthy of your status, so you chose the Raptors. Am I right?"

Detrev nodded. "I want a championship, so the agent has contacted the Knicks and the Lakers. Their salaries are too high, and there is no shortage of insiders."

"I said the Raptors are a super team, you may not believe it now, but you should see the potential of these young people, I promise you will not regret joining. Your dream will come true here, I am very demanding. Simple, trust me, support me and do what I say on the court."

Detrev nodded again, still smiling and agreeing happily. "Of course I will listen to you, no matter how young you are, you are the head coach of this team and I find you are really capable."

Yang Rui loves to hear this. He is capable. To prove this this season, he did not stand out among the assistant coaches because of his youngest and Chinese identity.

The character of this German is like that of a soldier. It seems natural to obey orders. Even if he is not feeling well, he can control his emotions and put the overall situation first.

Detrev smiled and said: "I was not optimistic about the Raptors at first, but now I feel very promising. Tracy and Vince are so good, even if they are comparable to the peak Jordan and Pippen. And Jermaine, He ran like a bison."

Yang Rui smiled and said: "Yes, this is the reason why I let them go together when I set the makeup photos at the core of the media day. It is a shortcut to build their confidence as soon as possible in this way. As long as they grow and improve this season, It's victory. I need you to help them improve, as long as you teach Brad and Jermaine your experience and let them emulate your style, they may become stars in the future."

"I will." Detrev replied indifferently: "Your goal this season is the playoffs?"

He admired Yang Rui sincerely in his heart.He is young, but he is very flexible and knows the importance of developing players.

"That's right, we'll do it together. When you're on the offensive, you pull out to cover and make a spot-up shot. When your teammates don't have a chance to break in, you'll do a second organization on the periphery, and you'll definitely be able to do it well."

"I try my best."

Yang Rui said sternly: "Be prepared, although you are a substitute, your playing time will not be short. As long as the opponent does not have a heavyweight inside to storm the basket, I will let you guest center, so that we can also open up the positional battle."

Detrev thought for a while, then smiled and said, "I have another suggestion, you'd better decompress the young players before the game. I have seen countless new players, they are very good in training, and they can't play 7% of their strength on the court, because Tension. Just remove their tension and we'll be stronger."

"Thank you, I'll do it."

The two walked out of the arena together, and after the conversation, Detrev had a higher goal.

Detrev feels that if he is a coach, he will focus on cultivating potential newcomers, rather than coaxing a declining veteran like him and attracting fans with limited popularity.

Yang Rui positioned himself as the coach of a strong team, which enhanced the confidence of the players.

At noon, Yang Rui called Thibodeau and Jack Smiley to have dinner together, and the coaching staff chatted about the first game while eating.

"In the starting lineup, I plan to use Billups, Christie, Carter, John Wallace, and Wesley. Do you have any opinions?"

Of course there are opinions. Smiley said: "John is suitable for playing small forward and is good at holding the ball. Would it be too reluctant for him to play power forward? He is only 203cm tall."

"It's more reluctant to make him play small forward because he can't shoot [-]-pointers, I need him to get out on the pick-and-roll, keep up with the guards, switch quickly, be quicker on the counter, and if he can get up front, it helps Team." Yang Rui explained. "Any question?"

Thibodeau asked: "Why not start with Dete. He can shoot, has experience, and has always been the starting forward for the Sonics."

"I talked to Det, he's a good rebounder, John can't rebound, we have to protect the backcourt rebounds, pass a fast break, and need a big man to cover the penalty area."

The two assistant coaches already understood that Yang Rui had already planned and worked flawlessly, just waiting for the start of the game.
