Chapter 141: [Start of rotation, out of the trough]


   After the game, Yang Rui praised the players in the face of media questions.
"I believe the players can adjust their state, and believe that Kevin Cato, he can help the team on the defensive end, but only to a new environment, he needs time to adapt. I proposed to exchange him, so I did No regrets, I believe he will help the team more than John Wallace in the future."
   The reporter asked: "Is it true that you do not agree with John Wallace?"
   "No, but he is not suitable for the Raptors system, and wants to get more opportunities to play, so he traded. I wish him a higher level of playing in other teams in the future."
   The reporter asked: "How are you going to adjust next? Now the teams are studying the Raptors' counterattack. You have lost a lot of games in the last two weeks."
   "Confidentiality, to be sure, we will not lose forever."
  After the game, Glenn found Yang Rui and said, "Now we can still help. If there is any difficulty, we can try to find another person in the free market. Is it necessary?"
  Yang Rui refused. "No trade, 14 people are enough, many people haven't played much before, I have to train new people, let them play too short, then I have a way to adjust."
  After the second day of training, Yang Rui summoned the players and proposed a lineup rotation.
"I know that everyone is tired, but there is no time for you to make adjustments. The next step is three consecutive back-to-back, only one day apart to fight again, five days and four battles. This is the situation we face. It may be a perfect run, so I plan to let everyone rest separately."
   Thibodeau sent a printed form to the hands of each player. The above is Yang Rui's proposed shift time.
  Maddy raised her hand and asked: "Coach, I won't be on the roster for playing the Hornets? Is it a holiday?"
   "Yes, you rest, the Hornets are not strong, 6 wins and 13 losses, it is not a problem to deal with the rest of the two of them. Willis also takes a rest. The Hornets' inner line mainly depends on pulling out the cover and shooting. Changing the defense speed is more important."
   Willis asked: "Arrange the players according to the situation of the opponent's lineup. If it is not suitable for us to play, it may be possible to take a rest. Is that true?"
   "Yes, that's it. Everyone will be more relaxed and not prone to injuries. Players who have played a few games before, you should try to prove yourself. As long as you play well, you may not be a starter. Are you confident to win?"
   "Yes!" The loudest shouts are the marginal people with short playing time.
  Yang Rui's adjustment not only restored the starting player's physical strength, but also stimulated the team's morale. No one wants to be a marginalist all the time. The Raptors used to have ten rotations. Four people must be changed because of the excitement.
  Yang Rui understands that he can't always judge the strength of a player based on the memory of his previous life. The people who can play the NBA have some specialties. He has to use them all. Like the Magic, in his opinion, the lineup is not influential, and Chuck Daly still has a way to win. This is the role of the famous coach.
  Before the deadline, many teams reinforced and the Hornets had a big deal.
  The Lakers exchanged star guard Eddie Jones for the Hornets star Glen Rice.
This is a win-win deal. The Hornets need to be good at the core of the ball attack. The Lakers need a stable three-point shooter. Last season they lost to the Jazz because they lacked a three-point point. O'Neal attracted the team inside and scored. Do not enter.
  Jones left Los Angeles to develop a small team like the Hornets. He was unhappy, turned his grief into strength, and defended very hard.
   Carter played his worst game under Jones defense. He made 1 of 9 shots, 1 of 3 points, 1 of 2 free throws, and had 3 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.
   Jones scored 13 points, 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals. His offensive performance was quite satisfactory. Christie stared at him and he was not good at scoring.
   Competition in other positions, the Raptors took the initiative, Detrev broke out, 10 of 15 shots, 4 of 6 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, got 26 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, revitalized the team.
Di Brown made 3 three-pointers, counterattacked layups several times and scored 17 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists. Billups made 5 of 11 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws and 16 points and 5 assists. Credit.
  Ryan Bowen, John Thomas, Alvin Williams, Miller and others all got a lot of playing time.
   Miller scored 8 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists. The game imitated Detrev, pulled to the periphery for pick-and-roll, received the ball and shot.
   originally belonged to the tasks of McGrady and Carter. Miller and Detrev also completed the task very well. Under the circumstances of the rest, the Raptors' attack was not bad.
   Raptors 95 to 82, won two consecutive victories.
   Many media are still not optimistic about the Raptors. They think that the two opponents who won are weak players.
   The New York media recently began to turn to Van Gundy, saying that Yang Rui's style of play was paranoid and he couldn't rely on the offense to lead the team to the championship.
This is the Knicks management's way of self-help. Boss James Dolan began to be dissatisfied with the operation of the team. He does not care about the money. He hopes that the team will win the championship. The game is playing beautifully. Now he spends more money than last season. what happened?
   The New York media wanted to calm down the fans~EbookFREE.me~ Everybody booed the home team, this approach is too discordant. In order to appease the fans, they can only belittle the Raptors, saying that they can only play this kind of performance in the shrinking season.
   is not accidental, the record will tell everything.
On the 16th, the Raptors faced the Nets back to back.
The Nets have also just completed a three-way deal and got the Timberwolves Stephen Marbury, the Timberwolves got the Bucks point guard Trier Brandon, the Bucks got the Nets point guard Sam Kassel .
   The biggest feature of this deal is that no one profited. The Nets have a 3 wins and 17 losses, and the bottom of the east with the Bulls. In addition to high salary, Marbury also wants to leave the bitter cold place of Minnesota and return to his hometown of New York. Although New Jersey is separated from New York, joining the Nets and the Knicks are completely two concepts.
  Marbury joined the rotten team, it is difficult to lead the Nets to rise.
   Cassell has been reimbursed for the serious injury season. The Bucks dug him purely to get rid of Brandon, a small defender who attacked and defended weakly, and he was relieved. Kassel had to play for the team next season.
  The Timberwolves were the worst, sending away a star-level point guard in exchange for a defensive black hole. Their sole purpose is to clear the salary space after the end of the season. Even if they don't trade, they don't have room to give Marbury a big contract. At that time, they can only let it go, and it is better to trade it.
   In this game, O'Neal and Billups took a break.
   Carter recovered his feelings, scoring 20 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists, McGrady also had 16 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists, Christie 17 points, Di Brown 15 points, Willis 12 points 13 rebounds and 3 blocks.
   Raptors beat the Nets 100 to 85, three straight wins out of the trough.
