Chapter 5 [The light of fireflies is brighter than the moon]
After talking about the tactics, Van Gundy's impression of Yang Rui has completely changed.
This kid didn't come to study, but wanted to get the job. He was capable and dared to perform, so he rushed to speak and suppress his competitors.
Van Gundy asked: "Can you elaborate on Ewing's tactics after covering the air cut?"
Yang Rui repainted a picture, the movement was marked with an arrow, and explained: "Ewing cuts sideways and receives the ball in the low post. If Longley switches out, he will face a swingman or a defender, and he has a physical advantage to hit the ball. Under the basket. Longley's speed is slow, and it is difficult to return to defense in time when he goes out. If Rodman and Pippen make up the defense, Ewing will score the ball on the weak side, and the corner player will be able to shoot the ball, so I suggest that the small forward head coach Corner shots, Ewing coaches high and mid-range shots."
Van Gundy doesn't like to hear that, he's very traditional. "How can the inside line not enter the restricted area? Hit the basket with a higher percentage of shots."
"Longley is 218cm tall, weighs 120kg, and is one size larger than Ewing. It is difficult to guarantee efficiency when attacking directly in the low post. I think we should try to create space. Therefore, I suggest reducing the number of Ewing's low post attacks, and it is best to reduce him as well. playing time." Yang Rui did not follow Van Gundy and insisted on his own ideas.
In his previous life, in the 1997-1998 season, Ewing dislocated his right wrist, accompanied by a torn ligament, and only played 26 games in the regular season, which was the consequence of letting the 36-year-old veteran work too hard.Ewing played only 4 games in the playoffs and performed poorly. The Knicks were eliminated by the Pacers 4-1 in the second round.
The NBA is not stronger than anyone else, creating empty shots, and there are many people who will shoot more than 40% of three-pointers in the future, not to mention that there is a fierce man named Alan Houston in the team, so there is no need to waste it.
"Ewing off the court, the Knicks' defensive intensity will drop, how to solve this problem? You two can answer." Van Gundy looked at Thibodeau and Boyd.
The faces of the two senior assistants were not very good-looking. Van Gundy seemed to be taking into account their emotions and giving them a chance to express themselves. In fact, they were responsible for "inducing others".
Since Yang Rui dared to say that Ewing would reduce his playing time, there must be a solution. From entering the door to the present, Yang Rui has always been confident.
Van Gundy had already begun to look down on the other two at this time. Before Yang Rui came, they introduced their past work achievements and said nothing about how to work in the Knicks in the new season.If they can't say what they are being suppressed by the young, what about the seniors?
The two have similar ideas, and they should be cautious in their words. Now it doesn't work. If it's not difficult to come up with some dry goods, it goes without saying.
Thibodeau reacted faster and spoke first.
"After Ewing came off the court, in the half-court positional battle, the defender put pressure on the player with the ball, and at the same time the big man pressed against the ball. Some of the two teams were short-lived, and the opponent's ball carrier was double-teamed. At the same time, several other players collectively cut off the long pass line. , leave a fast forward, about two meters tall, on the weak side, control the two at the same time, and do a good rotation."
Van Gundy pondered for a moment, which made sense.
Thibodeau has a deep understanding of defense.This routine requires a tough one-on-one defense, plus a flexible big man who can push to the three-point line, and a perfect team rotation. As long as the opponent does not have five people who can shoot, it is effective.
Van Gundy asked: "It's not good for backcourt rebound protection. Oakley often has to guard, right?"
"Yes, it's impossible to do everything in defense," Thibodeau replied.
"Ewing goes off the court. If the opponent has the ability to attack in the interior and rely on strength to play low positions, he can complete the hard attack one-on-one, attracting double-teams to score the ball and shoot outside. What if Oakley and Buck Williams can't defend?"
If it's a star of O'Neal's tonnage, the low-post singles are fierce, let alone Ewing resting, he can't be defended on the court.Fortunately, there are not many such people.
Boyd finally spoke up, in a somewhat irresponsible way. "I think it's better to let Ewing play more. He is a tough guy and will do his best to win. The Knicks tradition is iron blood."
Van Gundy's face was calm, and he gave this person an X number in his heart.
If I have someone available, Nima will let Ewing play 37 minutes last season?If it weren't for the Knicks players being too hard-hearted, they could fight with the Heat last season and the suspension was reversed?
Saying the word "Jagged Blood" to him now is like a sarcasm.
Yang Rui raised his hand and smiled: "I agree with Tom's opinion, speed up the rotation, and the inside defense can be adjusted according to the opponent's lineup. For example, against the Lakers O'Neal, use the shark slashing tactics and send him to free throws. If it is Mourning, then The pie is not very tall, and powerful people fight with his muscles to resist outside the penalty area, reducing his efficiency. Against big men with weight and poor shooting, we can still solve the problem with a small lineup, as long as the contraction blocks the penalty area Just fine."
Thibodeau hurriedly added: "Guaranteed to rotate, the opponent can't shoot from the outside, only relying on low-post attacks, the score can easily be controlled within [-]%, and we can also fight back."
Thibodeau and Yang Rui looked at each other and smiled, Yang Rui did not completely refute his tactics, which was enough to overpower Boyd.The Knicks don't just need one assistant right now.
Boyd cursed in his heart, did you two agree to form a group?I've told you all, what else can I say?
Ernie and Van Gundy also suspected that Tom and Yang Rui knew each other, because Yang Rui called "Tom" just like an old friend.When entering the door, Van Gundy did not introduce the two competitors to him.Thibodeau is not well-known, who would pay attention to a poor assistant coach in the 76ers?
Yang Rui succeeded in confounding the public again, and he also pulled an ally.
Van Gundy asked, "If you guys join the Knicks, what's the goal?"
The general manager was right here, saying that the goal was equivalent to a military order. The two calm people began to think about it, and Yang Rui immediately replied, decisively.
"My goal is to help the Knicks win the championship in the new season, and I have the confidence to do it. Our advantages include three-point shooting, defense, lineup depth, and core age. We are no worse than the Bulls. We discussed tactics just now. To kill Jordan, make a bull into a black pepper steak?"
"Hahaha, well said, ambitious." Ernie applauded from the side.
Van Gundy also laughed. This is what he thinks. The iron and blood of the Knicks is the confidence to dare to pursue dreams and the passion to move forward bravely towards the goal.
Looking at the other two, they didn't even dare to say a word, for fear that they would be responsible for the team being eliminated.
Even if the Knicks were eliminated, the fans would still scold the head coach. They didn't even take responsibility as assistants. They were instantly compared by Yang Rui, like the light of fireflies is brighter than the bright moon.
Van Gundy asked: "Do you really think we can win the title this season?"
"Yes! Because I have confidence in you, the Knicks players, and myself. My specialty lies in offense. As long as the team is willing to use me, I will help you arrange appropriate offensive tactics and do my best. Help the team win."
"As an assistant coach in the new season, I want to choose him." Van Gundy turned his head to look at Ernie and said solemnly, "He's not bad."
Without any coaching experience, no terrifying identity or background, Yang Rui impressed Van Gundy with just one interview.
In this day and age, he is a genius!
