Chapter 371: [Starting at home, perseverance and unity]

Thibodeau and Yang Rui have been working together for five years, and they are still not doing enough in rotation. The Bulls win by relying on the main force. Thibodeau’s killers are Crawford, McGrady, Artest, and Brand. The players can cooperate and have strong personal abilities. They are crazy and no team can withstand them. Offensive.
However, apart from these four, the Bulls have no players who are good at scoring, all blue-collar. To put it simply, the Bulls core players can not rest, the substitute Crawford averaged 33 minutes in the playoffs.
McGrady played 40 minutes in the regular season and averaged 44 minutes in the playoffs. This is the risk of taking his own sports career. On the premise of his physical strength to ensure efficiency, he played 35 minutes, which was the case with the Raptors. Yang Rui believes that there will not be much change when he arrives at the Bulls.
Unsurprisingly, Tracy McGrady can still score at the offensive end, but his enthusiasm has declined on the defensive end, making it impossible to balance both offense and defense.
Unfortunately, Hamilton, which McGrady wants to defend, is a marathon runner. Unfortunately, he felt the sadness of Hamilton's pet dog.
Isn't it? Still running? Are you endless? I really want to go home! Run me again, do you believe it or not? Tracy McGrady: It looks like me except the last sentence...
In the last few minutes, Hamilton didn't need teammates to cover, and McGrady couldn't keep up. As soon as the "scalpel" ran out of control, other Bulls players had to make up their defenses, otherwise he would be a good shot.
Always unable to catch up with the score, Thibodeau had no confidence before the match. He couldn't understand why the Bulls are stronger, but they can't play the Wizards?
It's really not Thibodeau's fault. The backup management team signed by the Bulls doesn't work well. The gap between it and the starter is too big. The talent is not enough. The player's upper limit is largely determined by talent.
For example, Ben Wallace, who is also a short man inside, can run and jump, and has a good show of arms, became the best defensive player and was selected to the All-Star. The floor defense player Hayes, who has a similar defensive approach, can never be selected as an All-Star, and getting a middle class is questioned as a garbage contract.
In the last minute, Tracy McGrady missed three consecutive points and the Wizards kept the advantage to the end.
Tracy McGrady has a lot of dry shots per game, but the "Tracy McGrady" has only once in his life. If McGrady does not join the Rockets, Yang Rui does not know whether his glorious record will appear.
In most games, McGrady's key ball efficiency was poor due to lack of physical strength. In Yang Rui's previous life, Tracy McGrady's career average of the last two minutes per game was terrible. In the regular season, he averaged 1.12 points in the last two minutes and shot 35.6. In the playoffs, he scored 0.99 points and shot 29.3.
108 to 94, the Wizards made a good start at home. Six of the team scored in double figures. The highest Marshall scored only 19 points. The players shot more evenly and played perfect team basketball.
The Bulls scored in double figures, McGrady scored 30 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists, Brand 22 points, 10 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks, Artest 16 points and 7 rebounds, Crawford 13 points.
At the press conference, the reporters mainly interviewed Yang Rui and Jordan. No one expected that in the key game, Yang Rui would actually let Jordan play off the bench and win.
Thibodeau didn't expect it of course, so the Wizards won unexpectedly, disrupting the Bulls' pre-match deployment.
In fact, the starting small forward is not up to Jordan, the Wizards are more likely to break the joint defense, the Bulls dare not shrink to the restricted area.
The key to breaking the 122 defense is a three-pointer at the corner, a fast inside cut, and running without the ball, the Wizards role players can do it. Yang Rui knew this well before the game, so he was very confident.
In Yang Rui’s previous life, in the 2002-2003 season, Doug Collins also let Jordan play off the bench because of Jordan’s knee injury. During that time, the Wizards did not have a bad record. In the end, they won the Eastern Conference with 37 wins. Nine, missed the playoffs.
The Eastern Conference was so weak at that time, and the scores mainly relied on Jordan and Stackhouse, and the positions of the two overlapped somewhat. The Wizards' lineup is now much deeper.
In an interview, of course, Yang Rui will not say that Jordan is a substitute, the team is stronger. There must be an opportunity from the media to provoke, and the seven holes that Jordan can get angry with. This kind of big news is very bad for the Wizards.
Yang Rui pretended to be embarrassed and sighed: "This time Michael was forced to substitute. He played 82 regular season games, he had an old knee injury, and there was swelling after the last round of the series. The starting confrontation was fierce. I have to control his playing time. What he has to do is to play efficiently in limited playing time to help the team."
The reporter asked: "Does this mean that you will keep Jordan on the bench next?"
Yang Rui shook his head. "I don’t want this to happen. It depends on his recovery. The schedule for the playoffs is tight. He can’t get a truce. That means we will definitely be eliminated. The Wizards of this series take the initiative. We all Hope to go further."
The reporter asked: "What do you think is the key for the Wizards to win?"
"It's perseverance and unity. Michael's injury to the battle encouraged the morale of the team. The 40-year-old veteran is still desperate. Others have no reason to be lazy. We have to use all our strengths without regret. When the season is over, there will be Time to rest."
The reporter interviewed Jordan, he said: "I follow Jerry's arrangement, he has already proved his strength, everyone listens to him, and he can play well in the playoffs."
A reporter asked: "In the final season of your career, will the playoffs become a substitute, will you regret it?"
Jordan shook his head. "I have no regrets. I have won five championships and won many personal awards. Now that the team can reach the second round, we have done a good job. Of course, I don't think the Wizards lost to the Bulls. "
In the locker room, everyone talked about each other and could not talk nonsense during the interview. Otherwise, a reporter asked Jordan's injury, who would come up with the sentence "Jordan's knee is okay", it would be embarrassing.
Only the team doctor and the management really know Jordan’s knees. This is part of the propaganda.
The Wizards did not shout out the slogan to win the championship.
The reporter also interviewed Bull coach Thibodeau and asked him to evaluate the game.
Thibodeau said: "Jerry likes to play strange soldiers. Generally, we think that it is better not to change the starting lineup frequently, so that the players cooperate better, but he especially likes to arrange unexpected tactics and wins unexpectedly. I know him very well, I did not expect He will replace Jordan."
The reporter asked: "Are you confident to take the Bulls to win the next game?"
Thibodeau said positively: "Yes, we must win. If we go back to Chicago with a total score of 0-2, it is very difficult to eliminate the Wizards~EbookFREE.me~ That's what we don't want to see. Just get A victory, the situation will be very beneficial to us."
Interviewing the Bulls players, Brand took the cause of the defeat to himself. "It was my fault to lose the game. I failed to defend the penalty zone. We will fight for a stronger defense in the end."
Tracy McGrady also actively took responsibility for himself, saying that he will play hard in the end and strive to get more points.
People will change with the environment. McGrady with the ring did not like to make excuses after joining the Bulls. He dared to take responsibility.
ps: The previous chapter has been revised, the Wizards have a second round home advantage.
Since the book was opened, I have never made any changes. After putting it on the shelf, I have guaranteed a minimum of three changes. If there is a manuscript, try to break out as much as possible.
