Chapter 67: 【More haste less speed】


   The Knicks were full of joy, but Yang Rui saw some hidden dangers while winning streak, that is Ewing's physical exertion.
   In order to help Ewing to brush data and compete for MVP, the coaching staff allowed him to continue to increase his playing time, averaging 37 minutes per game. Several games against the weaker were also more thrilling, and they were completely based on perseverance and experience. Fortunately, Ewing is now playing outside, otherwise it will be dangerous.
After defeating the Blazers and Rockets and achieving a 20-game winning streak, the Knicks lost 101 to 102 at home to the Warriors.
   Ewing was in a terrible state, playing 40 minutes, only 14 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, and 5 fouls. The two sides played an extra time, Donyer Marshall hit a lore, turning the Knicks' entire effort into a useless effort.
  Yang Rui once proposed to play a weak player and let Ewing take a rest. They were jointly opposed by Van Gundy and Ewing. They all worry that too many core breaks will also affect the MVP selection and record.
   Even though they lost, the media praised the Knicks. They broke the team's streak record. The previous record was an 18-game winning streak created in 1969-70. This result ranks second in history with the Bucks from 1970-71, second only to the Lakers' 33-game winning streak in the 1971-72 season.
   entered the first game in March, the Knicks won the Lakers 101 to 89 at home, and completed the sweep in the regular season.
  Ewing's 26 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists overwhelmed O'Neal's 19 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, and Houston's 32 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists finished Eddie Jones with 15 points.
  The Lakers have four All-Stars, and their popularity is amazing. They are also regarded as the hottest champions.
  However, the Knicks lost the Nets 93 to 100 on the 3rd and lost to the Wizards 99 to 103 a day later. After two consecutive losses, the record became 60 wins and 8 losses.
   The Nets are currently eighth in the east, losing four more games than the seventh Cavaliers. They are most likely to encounter the Knicks in the first round. After winning the game, the few Nets fans saw a glimmer of hope again.
   back-to-back against the 76ers, the Knicks only 87 to 80 win, everyone began to realize that the Knicks are in trouble.
  Yang Rui's previous life, the 2016 Warriors regular season 73 wins broke the record record, the oldest starting Bogut is 31 years old, not a veteran, other stars are very young, and the physical advantage is obvious.
  Even so, the Warriors had physical problems in the second half of the regular season. Players were not focused enough, singled too much, and took turns in some non-critical games.
  The average age of the Knicks is older than that of the Warriors. Yang Rui has no good way to arrange tactics. The rest can only look at the players. No one can help them stay on the court at all times.
  On March 8, the Knicks battled the Bulls again at home, losing 95 to 102.
  Pippen came back to add a strong scoring point, the Bulls run the ball, defense is better than in the past. The Knicks' Starks continued to slump, shooting less than 30% in four consecutive games and making 4 of 16 shots.
   Watching Starks throw various waves on the court, the fans were anxious. Yang Rui then discussed with Van Gundy to let role players rotate, using this method to ensure physical recovery, otherwise it will be more difficult to play in the playoffs.
  In the beginning, Fan Gandi didn't agree. Now the team is playing in a mess and has lost 9 games. There is no good way for him, not to listen to Yang Rui.
   The player's state suddenly fell, and Van Gundy's pressure on Dafa also has a certain relationship. He often keeps the record in his mouth, hoping that the team can follow up. If the coach tells the players that "regular record is not important, the championship is the key", it may have better results.
  After discussion between Yang Rui and Fan Gandi, Fan Gandi changed his mind when he mobilized.
   "Everyone, forget the Bulls' record. What we have to do now is to calm down our minds for training in the playoffs, run more tactics, and reduce individual singles. The playoffs are the key."
  In addition to decompression, the team also adopted a rotation strategy, so that the poor Starks entered the injury list.
   This product is in a state of sophistication and he is unwilling to rest. He jumps on the spot angrily, saying that he has to go on the court and shouts Yang Rui's voice. "What a bad idea did you do? Did I get the second energy saving score?"
   "Don't you think you need to adjust recently? Your average field goal percentage has fallen below 40%." Yang Rui hit back with facts.
  Stucks was unreasonable and shouted: "I have such a short playing time, how can I find the feel?"
   Yang Rui retired behind Van Gundy, and communicating with the piercing player was a very troublesome thing. This should be the job of the head coach, not his pot.
  Yang Rui feels that the relationship between players and coaches should be like the relationship between teachers and students. It is natural for students to respect teachers. But in the NBA, there is a special relationship between coaches and players, it is not so easy to engage.
The stars are more famous than the coaches, and the salary is more than the coaches. When the big-name players are unhappy, they just jump to the job. Others are rushing to ask for it. The easy thing is not only to understand the tactics, but also to understand the coquettish technique. It is impossible to get the players. No matter how good the tactics are, they don’t want to use them.
In the NBA, there are often conflicts between players and coaches in various forms. In addition to fighting, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is mostly angry, arguing with each other, coaches penalizing players for suspension, serious players playing games, internal strife, etc. .
   In the past two years, there have been more famous things. For example, Magic originally hoped to build a team around Hardaway and O'Neill. Later, O'Neill went to Los Angeles. Hardaway began to be dissatisfied with Magic coach Ryan Hill's coaching style, and encouraged other players to blame Hill. Soon after, Hill was fired by the team.
   Even more outrageous is the Warriors star Sprewell. This season he was fined for sitting on the cold bench for not listening carefully to tactics. He was late for training and missed the plane on the road. This made Carlesimo, who hadn't dealt with the player, feel very angry.
  The conflict finally broke out during a training session. Carlesimo asked Sprewell to be serious, but the "madman" was not a coach. Callesimo's authority was challenged. He went to the "madman" and continued to yell loudly. At this time, the "madman" couldn't help but pinched the coach's neck for 10 seconds before being pulled away by others.
   Then the "madman" left angrily, who didn't know how long he ran back again, and after a lot of anger, he punched the coach without saying a word, and then left. The punishment for this impulse was a ban of 68 games and a salary deduction of more than $6 million, the highest in the NBA.
  Fan Gandy said that after all, soft and hard foam, finally let Starks understand that the playoffs are the stage to play, willing to rest for two games.
  Yang Rui watched the whole process and was firm on one thing. In the future, when he is a head coach, he must have enough voice, control trading rights, and draft rights in his own hands, and find players who are easy to communicate and control.
   There are countless black spots like Starks. The people who play mainly rely on the wind and can't see their position. They are in good condition. When the condition is not good, they are poisonous tumors. Yang Rui would have sent him away long ago, and he would definitely get a better person.
