Chapter 55: 【Dead Horse as Live Horse Doctor】


On the 25th, Yang Rui and Thomas Bentley did not attend any party. They ate the old and favorite Chinese Kung Pao Chicken at home and watched the basketball game.
   The NBA's selection criteria for the Christmas Warriors team every year lies in a "enmity". Or when the red stars are competing for popularity and the public arena of the market, everything is to attract attention.
   This year arranged for two games, Bulls VS Heat, Rockets VS Jazz.
  The Heat and the Knicks are of course more in line with the standards of the Chou, but the Chou is too big. The League dare not arrange them to compete on this day, fearing that the Knicks will besieging PJ Brown and crucifying them.
  The Heat are 17 wins and 8 losses, the Bulls are 17 wins and 9 losses, without Pippen, the Bulls' real power has dropped a lot, only 10 games lost the entire season that year.
In the face of the trident composed of Mourning, Hardaway and Marshburn, Jordan led the team independently and won 90 to 80. The Bulls averaged only 90.7 points per game and can still win on defense.
  Thomas said after watching the game: "This year the Bulls and Heat seem to be no good. The game is really boring. The Knicks are good-looking and score many points."
   "The Knicks are still too conservative. If all tactics let me take the lead and score more points." Yang Rui laughed: "This year the Knicks are likely to win the championship, Jordan will not work."
   The two eastern powerhouses are still old-school play, position battles, fight defense.
   Jordan can score a lot of points, but people see his regression, the ability to attract the package has declined, many shots are the turnaround jumper after taking the ball from the low position, the peak Jordan is the face frame breakthrough to attract the package, can shoot to score points.
  Back play is a very important technique, but the most efficient way of playing on the basketball court is always running tactics, or a heads-up after a clear advantage of alignment and a misalignment.
   can't attract Jordan, who doesn't have much dominance because he hardly shoots three-pointers. He averaged 28 points per game this season, using 23 shots. The offensive efficiency is actually not as good as Yang Rui's previous life in the 2004-2005 season. He did not take the Lakers to the playoffs. Kobe.
  Thomas suddenly asked: "Jerry, how are you and that female student?"
   "Which?" Yang Rui froze.
   "The snack bar, she looks like you very much, don't you often go to the snack bar to find her? Part-time work, very hard work, good people."
   "No, we are just ordinary friends." Yang Rui knew Xiao Xiao and shook his head. He really just went to dinner.
  Thomas smiled: "Don't you like that kind of good baby before?"
   "What I need most is a career right now. Before I became the head coach, I didn’t want to be distracted to fall in love, and I don’t like that kind of..." The English name of "good baby" made Yang Rui embarrassed.
   "People have to have fun in time. When you are old, you may think that work is not the most important thing."
  When he was a at Thomas University, he played crazy, and now he has contacted many people. He has no fixed girlfriend. Yang Rui went out to play away, and he often led people home.
   Jerry has always been an orphan, leading to the previous gossip media suspecting that they are homosexual, which makes Thomas a little collapsed, and wants him to find one quickly.
   Yang Rui didn't have this idea, because he didn't want to stay in the Knicks for too long, and perfunctoryly said: "I will not miss it when I meet someone I like."
  After Christmas, the Knicks battled the Raptors again on the 27th, winning 114-97 with ease.
  Ewing had 29 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists, and finished with 9 points and 6 rebounds in Camby. He was in the same position as the last time he played against the Raptors.
  Houston scored 21 points, eye-catching performance, became the team's stable second scoring point.
   "Little Flying Squirrel" Stardamer feels hot and scored 30 points and 5 rebounds to help the team top three quarters. The Knicks strengthened their defense against outside shots, and the Raptors were misfired in the end.
   Weak internal attack is the main reason why the Raptors have not been able to improve their record. After this, they won the bottom of the league with 3 wins and 25 losses and went straight to the top pick.
  After the game, the Raptors manager Glenn Gruward was called into the office by boss Richard Pedy and fell through.
   "I really hope to win the No. 1 pick next season, but not by breaking the worst record in NBA history. Can they win more than 10 games? Why not trade Damon?"
   Glenn Khan said: "Now trading Camby and Stardamer can't exchange any strongmen at all. I want to wait until the end of the season before trading."
Richard snarled: "If the league closes next summer? How do you trade? No trade, this kid has to make a season, he will be replaced in the middle of the season, find someone who can defend, and look for someone in the contract year. Row."
   Players in the contract year can not renew their contracts if they don’t play well, so that they can free up salary space, but this is tantamount to giving away each other a second-rate star with strong data.
   Management now hates Stardamer to this point. He is a rookie hand-picked by former manager "Smiling Assassin" Isaiah Thomas, and now Thomas has gotten out of it, no longer have to face him.
   Glenn could only say daringly, "I think about it."
   "Give me a plan as soon as possible, don't let me see him after the star game." Richard's attitude is very tough, leaving no room.
  Glen did not express his concerns. Stardamer is already the Raptors' best offensive player now. Send him away. Will the team still have attack power in the second half of the season? How can you win if you can't break your opponent's defense?
  Maddy is just a defensive player now, UU reading www.uukanshu. Com Raptors management is optimistic about his quality, but does not think he can get a lot of points. Christie is also mainly defensive, and it is difficult to guarantee the accuracy of his shots.
   Glenn suspected that he had sent Stardamer away. If he can't pick another attacking rookie next year, he may be dismissed next season. The Raptors will become the league's worst offense team.
   At this time he remembered Yang Rui again and called his assistant. "Jimmy, did you investigate the details of Jerry Yang? Did he arrange the Knicks' offensive tactics?"
   Jimmy Walker replied: "It must be that the player and Van Gundy praised him, and there have been interviews in the media. He is the team's first assistant in charge of offense."
   "The Knicks have a strong attack this season, and it must be related to their strong lineup... If Jerry Yang coached the Raptors next year, what do you think he can do with the team?" Glenn asked.
   "How do I know this? If no players are willing to join, our lineup is still so bad, is it useless for anyone to come?" Jimmy smiled bitterly.
  Glen sighed. "Let’s do this first, and continue to pay attention to the situation of the Knicks. When we end this season, I personally call to try his tone. He should be interested in changing from assistant to head coach. Even if it is not good, at least it will attract Chinese fans."
   Jimmy was shocked: "Are you really going to find him? He is only 24 years old next year and has no experience at all."
   "Otherwise? Will big-name coaches come to the Raptors?"
   Of course not, from the time the Raptors built the team to Yang Rui's rebirth, they never attracted big-name players or coaches.
  The manager of the Raptors took a fancy to Yang Rui.
