Chapter 352: [Meeting Yao Ming at first sight, change of mindset]

On December 3, the Wizards defeated the Bucks 103 to 78 at home.
In the summer, the Bucks sent away "big dog" Glenn Robinson. The star guard Ray Allen was absent due to injury, and the three musketeers were left with "alien" Sam Kassel.
Reed was not there, the Bucks had too few offensive points, and they only started with 6 wins and 11 losses. After George Karl drove away the bored players, he was not far away.
After this game, the Wizards began to encounter strong teams, losing to the Pistons 88 to 103 away from back to back on the 4th.
Veteran power forward Clifford Robinson made 3-of-4 3-pointers, Alan Houston made 6-of-9 3-pointers, Stackhouse made 4-of-6 3-pointers, and substitute Joan Barry made 2-of-3 3-pointers. The 122 joint defense arranged by Rui is most afraid of this three-point draft team.
Alan Houston has become a hot star at No. 2 and has always been healthy. Jeff Van Gundy used him the way Yang Rui was when he was in the Knicks. The CIC king has turned into a three-pointer, and it is difficult to be seriously injured if he runs and catches the ball.
On the surface, Houston and Hamilton have similar overall shooting percentages. Actually, Houston's scoring efficiency is much higher, because he has developed a good habit of playing back around the penalty area, turning around a jumper, or shooting outside the three-point line, never shooting Large CIC.
Hamilton's most shot position is a 17-foot jumper. This season, Yang Rui has no confidence in transforming Hamilton. Forcing him to make a three-pointer results in a loss of rhythm and a drop in field goal percentage.
Wizards scored the most is Jordan, 26 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.
On the 6th, the Wizards broke the team's biggest upset, losing 86-88 away to the underdog Magic.
The Wizards led by 20 points in the first half and were reversed by the opponent in the second half. In the fourth quarter, the Wizards players are like a collective spell, playing crazy iron.
Jordan 7 of 21, 4 of 1 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, 20 points, 8 rebounds and 2 assists; Hamilton 18 of 6, 1 of 3 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, 15 points and 5 assists; Maggie Teddy made 4 of 11, and only got two free throws, scoring 10 points and 6 rebounds.
Magic wins have a home whistle factor, but the Wizards are more important because they don’t fight, because the Magic doesn’t score much and the defense is not good.
On the 7th, the Wizards lost to the Blazers back to back, and suffered a three-game losing streak 85-98.
The Trail Blazers scored in double figures with 7 players, the Bulls two legendary stars got the chance to match, Pippen prevailed, 6 of 7 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, 14 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals.
Jordan made 8 of 20 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, 18 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists. His shooting percentage was very low.
The Blazers also used 122 joint defense tactics, the Wizards are most afraid of this, the outside line is inaccurate.
Back at home on the 10th, the Wizards faced the Knicks.
Yao Ming greeted Yang Rui when he played. Yang Rui can't help him now. Eating together may cause the Knicks management to be more attentive. He can only advise Yao Ming to properly lose weight and maintain mobility under the premise of working hard to build muscles. He usually shoots and waits for opportunities.
When Yao Ming first entered the league, he weighed 132 kilograms. The disadvantage was insufficient muscle content, thin arms, and thinness. Later, his weight reached 140 kg, which increased the burden on his feet.
Yang Rui felt that the best way to prevent Yao Ming from being injured was to lose weight.
You know, Bogut was only 114 kilograms during the Warriors period, which can not only resist people, but also guarantee the change of defense. "Big Z" Ilgoskas is about the same height as Yao Ming, only 120 kg when heaviest, even if it is a heavy inside. After the injury, "Big Z" reduced the weight to about 110 kg, and there was no serious injury.
Yao Ming sighed: "If I really lose weight, it will be more difficult to get a chance to play. The coach didn't arrange that."
"Leave a call and add my little yellow man number. There are some things you can't listen to the Knicks coaching staff. O'Neill has been undergoing surgery for more than half a year because of his weight. He also has a lot of minor injuries. I can’t stand my physique, let alone you are a yellow man? You can shoot with a lighter weight, increase your range, and become a center and a small forward swing."
"..." Yao Ming directly embarrassed, the first time I heard that there was a swing in position 35.
He knew that Yang Rui was kind and left the phone happily. "I'm not good at chatting in English, so I didn't apply for the little yellow man."
"Then use agent QQ, should you have this?"
"You can not only speak Chinese, you can also use QQ?" Yao Ming was shocked. He always thought that Yang Rui was of Chinese origin, and Chinese was just a level that he could barely speak.
"Of course I can use it. I have no problem chatting in Chinese. You may not be faster than me than typing." Yang Rui laughed.
After giving courtesy, Yang Rui called 8 time-outs and failed to change the ending. He lost 92 to 107 to the Knicks.
The Wizards couldn't beat the Knicks in the preseason. As soon as Larry Brown joined, he immediately transplanted the defensive system, and guarding against the dead was a headache for all teams.
The management discussed with Larry Brown several times and wanted to increase Yao Ming's playing time. After all, as the first star in Asia, he is like a cash cow and must be cultivated.
But Brown showed his stubbornness, starting with Ben Wallace and Kurt Thomas, and using Yao Ming and Hannington as substitutes. Because Hannington is a super-mobile man, he can occasionally shoot black and hard in the show, he is 206cm tall and weighs 107kg and can play power forward, so he can also partner with Ben Wallace, playing more time than Yao Ming.
Yao Ming played 12 minutes and scored 6 points and 5 rebounds.
Yao Ming's efficiency is not low, he usually trains hard, so he is better than Milicic, but after the start of the game, he only averages 7.3 points and 4 rebounds. It is still far from becoming an All-Star. Even if Chinese fans vote, the league will definitely intervene. Let him use this kind of data as the starting point in the east.
Jordan is the most scored by the Wizards, 12 of 27 shots, 2 of 5 3-pointers, 7 of 8 free throws, 33 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists. In this game, he grabbed 4 offensive rebounds and worked hard All out.
The Wizards lost four games in a row, 14 wins and 6 losses, the record was tied by the Knicks, because the relationship between the two sides fell to the fourth in the east, and also lead the Pistons one and a half. Ranked first and second are still the Nets and Bulls.
On the 13th ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Wizards away against the Nets ranked first in the east.
The offensive end Wizards are still trapped in joint defense, failing to play the efficiency, 75 to 89 lost the game, this time the defense was even worse.
Stardamer had 19 points, 10 rebounds and 2 assists, and Maggette had 18 points, 5 rebounds and 1 assist. The two players' excellent performance could not drive Jordan.
Jordan made only 5 of 20 shots and 2 of 2 free throws. He played 40 minutes and only had 12 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists.
After the game, Jordan did not spray his teammates, because he was almost undercover in recent games, increased the number of shots, reduced the passing rate, and reduced the shooting percentage. This is not the routine arranged by Yang Rui.
The most frightening thing is that Jordan didn't do this because the team couldn't win the game. The team started losing after he shot more shots. In the beginning, Jordan did a good job of organizing the offense. Although the team's outside running position is generally efficient, it can rely on Maggette, Wallace, Hamilton and others to guarantee firepower when countering.
Yang Rui suspected that the reason Jordan did this was to ensure an average of 20+ points per game. An interview with Washington media caused a change in his mind...
