Chapter 349: [Ten wins and one loss, fans stunned]

On the 8th, the Wizards continued their winning streak, beating the Lakers 114 to 99 at home.
O'Neal is absent. The Lakers are a completely different team. They can only bully the Clippers and lose to the last playoff team. They even lost to the Cavaliers 70 to 89 on the 5th.
In the summer, some people suggested that the Lakers trade O'Neal. ESPN experts also said that O'Neal's pick-and-roll is not active enough, which is a major reason why the Lakers can't beat the Raptors.
Now, those who say trading O'Neal have shut up.
It was found that it was because of O'Neill that the Lakers could make the finals three times, without fat, this is a street team, can not play in the playoffs.
Yang Rui was not surprised at all. In his previous life, the 2004-2005 season, O'Neill moved to the Heat, returning the Lakers with two outstanding potential stars Odom and Butler. The team also signed a starting control before the Pistons. Wechaki Atkins, along with Kobe, went straight to the lottery.
Later, "Zen Master" Jackson returned to the Lakers and was eliminated by the Suns for the first round for two consecutive years. The dependence of the triangle offense on the super inside is self-evident. Until Andrew Bynum made great progress and became the league's high-quality insider, the team traded Paul Gasol again, the inside had an axis, and the Lakers recovered their feeling of winning.
Kobe wanted to challenge Jordan, but Yang Rui did not arrange for Jordan to play against him. Instead, he used Hamilton as the main defense and interfered with Kobe's shooting. If he broke through, he would be caught.
Kobe Bryant was trapped and defended. He played 38 minutes, only 8 of 21 shots, 11 of 11 free throws, 27 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists.
Stardamer made 6 of 12 shots, 9 of 11 free throws, and had 21 points, 13 rebounds and 1 assist.
Yang Rui instructed Stacey to pass the ball in the team. He obviously did not have the talent of Miller, and he could not see improvement from the training camp to the present. But he was very qualified as an offensive terminator, blasting Samaki Walker, who only had 7 points and 4 rebounds.
Maggette was even more eye-catching. He played 35 minutes. He made 4 guest appearances on many occasions, 9 of 13 shots, 4 of 2 3-pointers, 10 of 12 free throws, and scored 30 points. He actively played fast breaks. Two rebounds, no assists.
Hamilton made 7 of 15 shots, 6 of 6 free throws and scored 20 points and 4 assists.
Jordan only played 26 minutes, 5 of 10 shots, 2 of 3 three-pointers, 2 of 2 free throws, scored 13 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals in a quasi-double.
The Wizards continuously crushed their opponents on the free throw line, not because they bought the referee, but because of the play.
In the first half, Yang Rui will usually arrange the offensive outside to let the players practice the running routine. If they get the lead and feel good, they will continue to play in the second half. If the cooperation is not good enough, the score is behind or anxious, Yang Rui will ask the players to hit the basket as much as possible and shoot at close range. Someone will find confrontation and foul in front.
On the 9th, the Wizards beat the underdog Cavaliers 100 to 79 back to back.
The outside players recovered their feelings. Stadamer actively attacked the fast break, dunked 4 times and scored 27 points, 10 rebounds and 1 assist.
Cavaliers' starting center "Big Z" is too slow, playing small ball tactics, veteran Tyron Hill, experienced, athletic ability is not at all opponent of Stoudemire. Yang Rui arranged for Wallace, Marshall, Jordan and other forwards to grab rebounds, and the center made a fast break. Even if the opponent's outside guarantees the speed of defense, it is difficult to defend.
Starting with 6 wins and 1 loss, the Wizards unexpectedly held the record with the Nets, ranking first in the East. Last season they were twelfth in the Eastern Conference and couldn't win the ball. Yang Rui became a strong team as soon as he came.
Stoudemire started with 19 points and 7.3 rebounds per game, ranking first in the rookie rankings, and many media said he had locked in the best rookie award.
In the summer, experts who said that Yang Rui was not curious about the team because his tactics required players to make three-pointers were all dumbfounded. The Wizards did not make many three-point attempts. Every game was a strong attack inside to win the game. When the opponent's formation contracted, the outside shot was considered to increase.
Online comments, many people look at curious talents, and some people spray Yang Rui's tactics too utilitarian, the Wizards overall too many free throws.
"Jerry Yang didn't suggest that the NBA learn from football. The fewer timeouts, the better, don't it affect the enjoyment of the game? Why is he the coach with the most timeouts in the league this season? Does he dare to be more hypocritical?"
"The Wizards make too many free throws. Players often take the ball to find a confrontation and then cheat fouls. It's really boring to play like this."
"Jerry Yang is very ambitious. The goal of this season is definitely not just the playoffs. The Wizards are the biggest dark horse of the season. Some people say that they don’t play well, so tell me which team is good this year?"
"The Wizards have a good start schedule, so the record is excellent, and they will definitely decline when they encounter a strong team."
The Wizards' good record is indeed accidental. Two games won against the Cavaliers, the league's worst team.
But Yang Rui believes that the Wizards' final record can get the top four in the East, relying on the next heart.
Regardless of the veteran or the newcomer, they worked very hard during training, and raised no objections to Yang Rui's employment arrangement. With the help of Jordan, he easily suppressed all the players.
Everyone's goal is very clear. Even if you want to compete for the ball this season, even if you want to compete for the boss, you have to wait for Jordan to retire, so the work of the coaching staff is going smoothly without any resistance.
Of course, there will be players who feel depressed, for example Marshall will have a bitter voice.
Maggette often came on the 4th, Marshall's playing time was shortened, averaging only 25 minutes, 9.3 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.2 assists. Since Yang Rui put Jordan on the bottom line during the joint defense, his rebounding data also dropped significantly.
This arrangement is also beneficial. Marshall can focus more on catching and shooting. He is fully prepared and does not need to hold the ball. His shooting percentage is stable. The overall 47.6% and 39.2% of three-pointers.
After three days of rest, on the 12th, the Wizards continued to win. At home, they beat the supersonic speed of 109 to 101, which dropped sharply. They sent away the high-paid and low-powered inside Wen Baker. The supersonic failed to change back to the strongman, mainly relying on Payton and La. Shad Lewis attacked and scored too few points.
The supersonic inside line is weak. The starting center is the 1997 second round 20 rookie Pedrag Derobbiak. He failed to obtain the contract at that time and did not land in the NBA until last season. Slow, poor defense, except for height and weight as a meat shield, there is no advantage.
The Raptors' outsiders showed their power. Jordan made 13 of 22 shots, made 1 of 2 free throws, and scored 27 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists.
Hamilton made 9 of 15 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, 20 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists.
On the 14th, the Wizards defeated the Jazz 111 to 100 at home, winning 6 straight victories.
The Jazz are weaker than Yang Rui's previous life. They have no Kirillenko, Haplin, and Jalen Collins. The three are now in the Raptors.
It is no exaggeration to say that the most miserable team by Yang Ruikeng is the Jazz, and whether Boozer can be dug in the future is a problem. Now the core of the Jazz is still Malone and Stockton, both of whom are about to retire, starting 2 wins and 6 losses, it is difficult to enter the playoffs.
On the 16th and 17th, the Wizards defeated the Heat and the 76ers in a row, winning 8 games in a row and leading the league with 10 wins and 1 loss.
Fans all over the world are stunned. Where is the Wizards in the goal playoffs? Clearly to compete for the championship!
