Chapter 11 [Calling people bright blind dog eyes]

Yang Rui continued to ask: "Stephen Jackson, graduated from high school and entered the draft. The Suns suspected that you had a triad background, so they gave up signing. What is your goal?"

"Of course it's to play in the NBA and become a star. Those people in the Suns have a problem with their brains. I can't ignore my brothers for many years in order to play, right?" Jackson did not deny that he knew the underworld at all, and would rather be suspected than lie.

This kind of character is easy to suffer, but it makes people hate it because of his "truth".

"You are loyal enough. On the basketball court, you must treat your teammates as brothers and advance and retreat together. One thing I agree with is that those people in the Sun have a problem with their minds, and the shortcomings they identify are precisely your strengths. As long as you can impress me with your skills, I will do my best. Make sure you play the Knicks in the preseason and try to get you a contract."

"Really?" After all, he was an 18-year-old. Jackson was overjoyed, and Jerry's eyes lit up.Nothing moves people more than practical benefits.

"Of course it's true. Do you have an agent? Don't forget to give me a commission when everything is done." Yang Rui patted Jackson on the back. "You're in good shape, play well."

Then, Yang Rui walked up to the shortest player in the team. Even the shortest player was about the same height as him.

"Chucky Atkins, I don't look older than your cousin, but your cousin definitely won't have a chance to stand here and talk like me, right?" Yang Rui smiled.

The aura he showed had already stunned the players.Atkins has no doubts that this is the talented coach the Knicks signed and could decide his fate.

"Coach, I'm sorry for what I said before, but you look really young," Atkins said.

"Yeah, so I think you're being honest, what's your goal?"

"Be an NBA player," Atkins replied cautiously, for fear of saying the wrong thing.

"What is your specialty?"

"I'm very fast, break through, and shoot well, but many people think I'm too short and poor in confrontation." Atkins sighed, feeling a sense of underappreciated talent.

"Boggs is shorter and thinner than you, he's been Captain America. If you can be a good system player, break through when it's time to break, attract a double-team or a big man to switch and score the ball, you'll be in The NBA stands firm."

"Thank you." Atkins felt more comfortable, and the coach seemed to be optimistic about him.

"How about your three points?"

"I'm very sure of the open three-pointer." Atkins puffed out his chest proudly.

"We will try our best to show the match in a while. We don't have much time. We only have two training sessions. We will have a match tomorrow. You have to complete the run-in within a limited time. As long as you get three points, I will let you start."

Yang Rui finally walked over to Mickey Moore, pointed at him and said, "You get out of the queue."

"Uh……"

"Surprising? I know you didn't say a word just now, so I didn't ask about the target. It's going to be a match, and I have to have a big guy on my side, so it's you. There are four others who came out just now. Everyone wears red and white vests and divides into groups. The confrontation will start for a while." Yang Rui said loudly.

He turned his head again: "Big Tom, you bring seven people, I will bring five, how about a contest?"

Thibodeau asked curiously, "You've already thought about doing this, haven't you? You didn't like the players I selected from the beginning, can you tell me why?"

"It's very simple. Through data analysis, I choose people with strong mental attributes, unyielding, and passionate. Except for Moore, because the data shows that he can shoot, my tactics need a big man who can open up space, like Ewing did."

Thibodeau certainly doesn't believe it. He has read the information given by the scouts, what can he analyze?It's clearly a hood!
"Even if they are very passionate, it doesn't mean they can win." Thibodeau didn't believe that he would lose to the juniors. He had seven people and had more choices.

"Let's talk about tactics, how about starting in five minutes?"

"no problem."

The two teams were lined up on both sides of the court, and it was like a formal game.

Of course Thomas followed Yang Rui and was a quiet and beautiful man on the sidelines.

The more he looked, the more frightened he became. This was by no means the familiar Jerry who was introverted and inferior, not good at talking to the outside world, and liked to complain about him. His personality changed too much!
Asking what the world has become, it makes people bright and blind.

The contrast between Jerry's front and back was so great that it reminded him of the movie "Changing Face" that was just released at the end of June, and he had the urge to call the police.He also had to admit that this was a good change. It was difficult for Jerry to find a job before, and it was difficult to get along well in any circle.

Yang Rui took the tactical board and quickly drew a few times, and said to the players in a circle: "The offensive tactics are very simple. Chucky took the ball to the front court and passed it to Stephen to open it. Stephen held the ball in the middle and saw an opportunity to score the ball. If the teammates who get rid of the three-point line are weak, they can be singled out."

"Wait, coach, am I not a point guard? Why is he in charge of offense and organization?" Atkins couldn't help but question.

"You forgot what you said just now? Your specialty is speed. You are good at driving and shooting. Passing is not your specialty. Are you really a point guard?"

"..." Atkins covered his face with one hand, he was really not good at passing the ball.

"Pfft." One person couldn't help laughing out loud. It was the most serious Ben Wallace. Laughing was uglier than crying, and everyone felt cold together.

Yang Rui continued: "Stephen, don't fight, choose better shots, this is a test. If you play preseason games for the Knicks in the future, Van Gundy's requirements will be stricter. If you make waves, you will lose the opportunity to stay in the team, understand? The first thing you think about is the team, unless you're open or against a much shorter player."

"Understood." Jackson knew that Yang Rui was doing it for his own good. The Knicks have many stars, so how could he have a chance?
Yang Rui added: "Bruce is standing on the bottom line on the right side. There is no need to move on the offensive end. If there is an open space, he will shoot. If there is no space to attract defense, is there a problem?"

"No." Bowen was trying to hide his clumsiness, but he couldn't ask for it.

"Mickey gave Chucky an off-ball screen on the outside, and after helping him get rid of the defender, Chucky moved along the three-point line, Stephen scored the ball, and if the inside switch is slow, you can shoot directly after receiving the ball, proving your three-point ability. If the opponent switches the defense quickly in the interior and assigns it to Mickey, this is a dislocation opportunity. Mickey can shoot in the middle, and he can also cut. Grab the offensive rebounds and give them to your teammates, don't make a second attack when someone is around you, I don't want to watch you make free throws, OK?"

"OK!" Big Ben nodded embarrassedly, last season he was hopelessly rotten in free throws for the Wizards.

"Offensive tactics are as simple as that. Looking for opportunities for dislocation, I will emphasize one sentence, don't fight!" Yang Rui believes that this is a tactic tailored for them, allowing everyone to use their strengths and not do what they are not good at.

"Defensive tactics are simpler, man-to-man, playing the center, defending the penalty area against others, controlling rebounds in the backcourt, Mickey must be quick to switch guards, don't let them easily break through, see who the opponent has the better breakthrough ability, Bruce's peripheral focus Take care of him. I don't blame you for Chucky's defense breaking through and being pulled and thrown in. All right, let's get ready to go!"
