Chapter 192: [The secret of success, the established goal! 】

D'Antoni has the ability, which is a good thing for the Raptors, the only embarrassment is Thibodeau.
When he was in the Knicks, Thibodeau felt ashamed when he met Yang Rui. Now he has a new coach and is very flexible. As the team's first assistant, he is under pressure again.
Thanks to Yang Rui's good speech, Thibodeau and D'Antoni did not appear to be separated.
"In the new season, our goal is to win the championship and we must cooperate fully. Tom is mainly responsible for the team's defense system. Mike's task is to inspire me and arrange offensive tactics. I believe we will surprise people this season. The preseason is For your inspection, you two should cooperate to lead the team."
Thibodeau smiled and asked, "Do you plan to watch the pre-season?"
"Yes, the preseason is mainly run-in tactics, players warm up, you look for the feeling of head coach. You should focus on running tactics, do not care about the record."
Appropriate decentralization can motivate people. Yang Rui does this for the teaching assistant to understand and inspect the players. He doesn't need to, who can play, how to play, he knows, as long as he participates in discussing tactics.
What is the peak of the players in the future, he has a general concept in his mind, more than anyone else in the basketball world.
Both Thibodeau and D'Antoni are very happy. Yang Rui's dictatorship is the best reward. No one wants to be an assistant for life.
In the training camp, the Raptors are mainly positional offenses and practice tactics.
D'Antoni quickly understood why Yang Rui did not agree to reuse Boykins in the next quarter. Yang Rui only wanted Boykins to make a fast break. During the positional battle, he arranged that the people in charge of the organization were big men, Miller, and substitute McGrady. Carter and O'Neal paid more attention to scoring, with a clear division of labor.
When defending, the Raptors still use pseudo joint defense to block the restricted area.
After a week of practice, the preseason began.
The coaching staff gave the newcomers more opportunities to perform and run.
Jerome, Jumaine, Boykins, and others all get a lot of playing time. D'Antoni's tactics are mainly played as a point guard, and the inside players continue to pick and roll, looking for opportunities to shoot or score.
Point guard Billups was used by D'Antoni, and he assisted in double figures in 30 minutes in two games.
Tracy McGrady, O’Neal Jr. and Carter have high offensive efficiency and show super single ability. They no longer need to prove themselves in the preseason, playing only about 20 minutes per game.
There are also unhappy people, that is Brad Miller, D'Antoni is more inclined to let him play the bench, the team has too many centers, Cato and Jerome need to investigate.
As one of the core of Yang Rui's appointments on the media day, Miller played only about 10 minutes per game in the preseason. Yang Rui had no opinion on this. He comforted Miller on the sidelines. He was the team's secret weapon.
The Raptors have a powerful outside line, and veteran Hornacek only plays 10 minutes per game. He does not need to hold the ball to attack. He shoots three points in the periphery and other opportunities, which is different from the jazz mission. The preseason three-point shooting rate Up to 50%.
Ryan Bowen is completely a marginal man. No matter what tactics he plays, he is the last candidate to play in positions 3 and 4.
Even if they retain their strength, the Raptors have achieved 6 wins and 1 loss in the preseason, only to lose to the Suns.
In the official first strength list, the Raptors ranked fourth, second only to the Spurs, Trail Blazers and Lakers, surpassing the Heat. Regardless of whether the championship declaration is too crazy, many experts are optimistic about the Raptors, thinking they are the strongest team in the east.
The Knicks only ranked ninth, losing to the Raptors last season, the team's popularity fell sharply.
On November 2, the Raptors' home opener against the Heat was full of gimmicks and was broadcast live nationwide.
Now that the Raptors have shouted out the championship slogan, it is natural to defeat the Eastern Conference Heat last season to be persuasive. The two sides met in the first game, full of physical strength, more attractive to fans.
In the home team's locker room, Yang Rui's way of inspiring morale is still different. "First of all, I changed the new stadium today. We are going to make a good start for this stadium. Secondly, I signed an endorsement contract with DOMORI, and the advertisements were all taken. If I eat'chocolate that brings victory' on the sidelines, It’s too embarrassing to win. So everyone must do their best."
The players laughed. Yang Rui liked to eat on the sidelines. They were all used to it.
DOMORI is an Italian brand, the world's top ten top chocolates, is considered to be the world's best chocolate. The first company in the world to write and promote chocolate appreciation rules, the 100% pure dark chocolate produced is one of the few 100% pure black cocoa chocolates that is completely natural and free of artificial additives.
Yang Rui did not consider endorsement of snacks, nor agent, summer is to play. As a result, several companies thought he thought the offer was too low and competed.
In the end, DOMORI was willing to sign a two-year five-million-dollar contract for Yang Rui. The endorsement fee can be compared with many stars, so Yang Rui agreed.
Coaching advertisements is not new in the NBA, but there are still many media reports on this matter. Phil Jackson endorses KFC for many years and has not received as much attention as Yang Rui. (Jackson never endorsed KFC!)
Yang Rui went on to say: "Of course 82 games in the regular season, we will definitely take turns. In order to ensure that everyone plays at their best and is not injured. Everyone will have a chance to perform, but they must share the ball and work hard to defend. Some people say that we defend No, so it is difficult to win the championship, we have to use action to hit these blind men's faces."
Several people were stealing music, and the new players couldn't believe it. His way of invigorating morale before the game was too serious.
"Finally, everyone should remember the motto of the dressing room." Yang Rui pointed to the wall, and the words were framed in the center.
Every NBA team has a motto for the dressing room, which is a major feature. The Raptors did not have it before. Yang Rui mentioned it this year. The motto of the Raptors is simple. The secret to success in one sentence is to never change the established goals!
Yang Rui asked aloud: "In order to win the goal, everyone must twist a rope, unite and create a miracle! Are you confident?"
"Yes!" Everyone responded loudly.
The new veterans Hornacek and Curry are no exception~EbookFREE.me~ They all feel that there is nothing wrong.
Yang Rui really wants to lead the team to win the championship this season, and after the preseason, they believe that the Raptors do have the possibility of winning the championship. Their lineup is very luxurious, can play a variety of tactics, none of the 15 are redundant.
In the opener, Jerome, Bowen and Boykins did not make it to the 12-man roster. The weakest player in the rotation is probably rookie Jurmaine Jones, and he also showed great potential during training. Good physical fitness, can shoot three-pointers, but poor pass awareness.
In the visiting team's locker room, Riley encouraged morale and demanded increased confrontation to prevent pick-and-roll.
The Heat players are under a lot of pressure. The overall strength of the team is weaker than last season. The departure of veteran Terry Burt has a significant impact on the second team. The score points have become fewer. The first game is a great test for the Raptors.
They all know that the playoffs can eliminate the Raptors, physical strength is the key, but now faced with energetic opponents. The Raptors retained the original core lineup, and the introduction of two veterans who are good at long-range shooting in the summer is definitely stronger.
The players are on time and the game is about to start.
