Chapter 28 [Hot Blood Basketball]

"Very good, don't be afraid at first, he mainly scores on jumpers, and he can help defend when he goes inside. You have an advantage, and your speed is much faster. Your five defenses are the same as before, shrink, grab a rebound and immediately start fast. Offense, try to get to the basket to score, don't shoot in waves. If the opponent returns to defense quickly, Ben pulls out to cover, completely empty the basket, and shoot from the outside. Remember, you are very strong!"

"Yes, coach!" the four young men shouted together.

Houston didn't shout, but was stunned.

The tactics Yang Rui arranged seemed very casual, and it took a lot of courage to fight like this.Let the rookie play power forward?And to guard against Ewing?Ordinary coaches certainly don't do that.

Yang Rui knew Jackson's character, brave and wild, and would never be afraid of confrontation. He played hot-blooded basketball.

The 18-year-old Jackson is already very strong. Yang Rui was surprised when he saw him in the summer. Later, when he asked, he realized that it was the power of the gang. He followed a group of underworld people who were popular and spicy, and his nutrition could keep up.

Just being nourished is not enough. Jackson grew up in a small town surrounded by prisons. Violence is the most common way to resolve disputes. He has experienced many battles.Ask him what weapon he likes the most, and he might say it's a nunchaku, soft but firm...

Yang Rui likes this guy, and he will be reused in the summer league. If he gets rid of some bad habits and doesn't make a lot of shots, Jackson will definitely become a star in the future.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Jackson averaged 20+ points per game in three seasons, and averaged 20.7 points, 5.1 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.5 steals in his peak season.He is both offensive and defensive, and he has never been selected for the All-Star Game. To a large extent, it is because of his personality that he is not likable.

Fan Gundy was also surprised when he saw Yang Rui make a change. There was only Big Ben left, and he was still in the early two meters. Isn't it too amateur to employ people like this?
Moreover, the red team is all summer league rookies, and there is only one experienced player in Houston.Van Gundy felt that Yang Rui was looking for abuse.

At the beginning of the game, Atkins dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, the formation was completely opened, Wallace gave Houston no ball cover on the left, and Atkins passed it.

Poor organization is not a problem. This kind of pass to find a fixed teammate can be done by a professional player.After Atkins passed the ball, he moved to the left bottom corner and pulled away.

Oakley switched defenses in time, and Houston immediately passed the ball to Jackson, who was also pulled beyond the three-point line and on the right.

Ewing is guarding Jackson, a natural dislocation.Ewing is almost twice as old as Jackson, and his speed is much slower. He is used to guarding the restricted area, waiting for his opponent to break through at the bullhorn, and he doesn't come out.

Jackson caught the ball with a near-open jumper, and without any pressure, the ball went in. 8 to 4.

Jackson doesn't shoot badly, he's an all-around fighter, otherwise he wouldn't have entered the draft after graduating high school.If it weren't for the background drag, the sun [-]% would have left him.

The Suns announced his situation, and other teams worried that he was a problem player and didn't consider him, so it was picked up by the Knicks.

Van Gundy swallowed and his heart was beating wildly. He never thought that his team would fall behind. Yang Rui didn't play cards according to the routine, and Ewing's defense became a weakness.

On the sidelines, general manager Ernie Grunfeld stood up and applauded vigorously. The young teenager played as soon as he came on the court, showing Yang Rui's excellent on-the-spot adaptability.

The white team attacked. Ewing saw that Jackson was following him and wanted to return one. He went deep on the left to enter the penalty area, took the ball and leaned on it, then turned and hooked.

Ben Wallace let go of Oakley's defense and came out from behind Ewing.

Ewing underestimated the speed of the young man. The ball was rubbed by Big Ben's finger as soon as it left his hand.

The explosive advantage of the young man was brought into play again. Jackson and Oakley started together. The former took an extra half step, took the basketball and accelerated to the front court, and got rid of Oakley.

The two insiders were slow to return to defense, and the frontcourt formed a 3-on-2 form. Childs let Atkins go to the middle of defense, and he was very brave in the face of people taller than himself. However, Jackson scored the ball. To the side, Atkins made a three-pointer from a 70-degree gap on the left.

11 to 4, the red team scored two three-pointers in a row after the timeout!
The opponent played a wave, and Van Gundy did not call a timeout.

The difference between the coaches appeared. Yang Rui first considered how to attack the opponent's defensive weaknesses and give play to the strengths of his own players. Van Gundy is now thinking about defense, the face of the stars, and proving his basketball philosophy.

It's embarrassing if the idea is wrong.He would rather believe that veterans can beat newcomers with their ability if they get serious, rather than thinking about the root cause of tactics.

Ewing asked for the ball one-on-one again, and the rabbit on the right turned around to make a jumper. Jackson couldn't cover it, which slightly interfered with the shot.

Ewing must have been sitting down and hitting the basket when he was young. The threat of Big Ben's defense made him choose a jumper. The attack method was too simple, and after a long rest, the hand felt normal, and the ball missed the basket.

Big Ben grabbed the rebound on the left and landed to nearby Houston, who passed to Atkins.

Atkins quickly advanced to the frontcourt to pass the ball, Jackson once again took advantage of his speed to throw off Ewing, and received the ball in the middle and went straight to the basket.

In the 2006-2007 season, Jackson defended Dirk Nowitzki and led the Warriors to create eight miracles.His running posture is very strange, almost all small steps, and the frequency is very fast. When playing shooting guard, the speed is a bit disadvantageous. The cameo power forward is definitely the top of the league.

This time, Starks let go of Bowen's defense, Jackson made a mid-point shot, and Bowen got a space in the bottom corner on the right, took aim, shot, and scored again! 14 to 4.

After playing the summer league, Bowen did nothing else at home, he practiced corner threes, and made obvious progress according to Yang Rui's requirements.

Bowen lacks the offensive ability to hold the ball, and spot-up shooting is quite reliable.In Yang Rui's previous life, Bowen made 99% of his three-pointers with the Heat in 46.4, scoring one per game.He was equally consistent from beyond the 39.3-point line with the Spurs, shooting [-] percent from beyond the arc for his career.

Van Gundy hasn't called a timeout yet, the fans are talking about it, and the people in the red team, except Houston, can't name them.

"Am I dreaming? Is the red team really just a bunch of substitutes?"

"The offense is so strong that no one wanted those people in the summer league before. Are all scouts blind?"

"I'm going to kill Buddy, if it weren't for that idiot, Jerry Yang might be the coach of our school team." A gentle-looking old man with glasses said depressedly to his companions that he was the leader of a certain college in New York, Jerry Ray went for an interview.

Glen Walsh sat next to Ernie and sighed: "I think the team signed the contract with this kid for a short period and should have signed it for three years."

Ernie shook his head: "Isn't it you who opposed signing him the most?"

Van Gundy was stunned. He wanted to see the new guys perform well and the team had more people available, but it wasn't this way.In the public training class, a group of rookies led his starter by a large margin, which was too embarrassing.

What's even more depressing is that he proposed to split into two teams to play a game, and it was him who scored the score. Isn't that uncomfortable?
If he calls a timeout, it means that the beaten is forced to take a timeout; if he doesn't call a timeout, he doesn't know if the veterans can withstand it.
