The Pope of Basketball Community

On the 7th, Yang Rui led the team to conduct another training session and only practiced two sets of tactics.

One set is the organization striker in the middle, the side off the ball running tactics, and the other set is the fast break.

The fast break is arranged for the substitute lineup. For people with outstanding physical fitness and average golf intelligence, it is difficult for them to run honestly. Most of the positions are played by one person holding the ball while others stand and watch. That being the case, it's better to let them play as fast as they can and give full play to their strengths.

Defensive tactics are handled by Thibodeau, who are all assistant coaches, and Yang Rui can't do it all by himself. He decentralizes appropriately so that Thibodeau will not be dissatisfied.

They also have Van Gundy on top of them, and the 39-year-old Thibodeau is very far away from becoming a head coach. He is very ambitious, and he is still unmarried, eager to succeed. If he had no chance to show off, he might kill Yang Rui one day, and the murder weapon was his umbrella.

Yang Rui's emotional intelligence is not low, and he is good at taking tricks. It is difficult for other college students in his previous life to find a better job than him. His character strengths make up for Jerry's previous weaknesses.

In the evening, the players all arrived at the arena, rested in the locker room and waited for the game to start.

The Chinese men's basketball team came yesterday, and the game was scheduled to start at 7:30 to facilitate their jet lag. This time in China is in the morning, so they won't feel sleepy.

The American media doesn't pay much attention to the summer league, but the arena is full of people, most of whom are Chinese, supporting the Chinese men's basketball team with the five-star red flag.

The Knicks customized orange and white sportswear for the players participating in the summer league. The details made the players feel comfortable and their morale was good. When it was time to play, Yang Rui fell behind.

"Tom, you go out first, I'm going to the bathroom."

Thibodeau suppressed his laughter, his eyes were crooked. "Are you nervous?"

"One thing. I was prepared. I sat on the sidelines after the game started." Yang Rui didn't feel ashamed.

Thibodeau joked: "Don't go wrong and go to your compatriots for a while."

Yang Rui was indeed very nervous. This was his first battle as a man in two lifetimes, and he was formally coaching, so it had a special meaning.

In addition, he can call the players of the Chinese men's basketball team by name. In his previous life, he went to watch the CBA live, but failed to get the autographs of the CBA players. Now, he wants to lead a group of old blacks to defeat the stars he once admired.

I don't know how the domestic fans will feel when they see him. Will the fans support him?

China CCTV5 broadcast the game live, Zhang Lili and Sun Zhengping commented together.

The Knicks players are too unpopular, so they can only say that the Chinese lineup is a bit redundant for basketball fans, so everyone feels bored and just waits to watch the game.

Suddenly, Zhang Lili's words focused the attention of the audience in front of the TV. "Hey, a Chinese player went to the wrong place."

Sun Zhengping's words made many spectators faint: "He went to the Knicks bench, oops... Who is this? This is, judging by his height, he should be a guard. Could it be Li Xiaoyong?"

"Li Xiaoyong is warming up on the court." Zhang Weiping sweated, "This player is really sloppy. Don't you see that there are all black and white players sitting there?"

The "player" they are talking about is of course Yang Rui. Thibodeau joked that it was a coincidence that no matter which side he sat on, some people would think he was in the wrong place.

Yang Rui is wearing a red sportswear today, which is obviously different from the Knicks players, and it happens to be very similar to the coats worn by Chinese players. Although the brands are different, it is not so easy for the narrator to distinguish through the video.

Under the gaze of countless Chinese audiences in front of the TV, the Chinese defender who "went to the wrong place" sat down next to Thibodeau in the shirt and trousers.

Yang Rui was nervous when he first entered the field. Seeing so many people in the auditorium was a little stressful, but he almost got used to it when he walked in front of the players' bench.

What's so scary about the coach not having to play on the court, but just being a spectator on the sidelines after arranging the tactics? As long as you can get out of the way in time when you encounter a strong man saving the ball.

"Jerry, is your stomach okay?" Thibodeau asked with a smile.

"Of course I'm fine." Yang Rui crossed his legs, folded his hands on his chest, and said relaxedly, "Even if I have something to do, don't you still have it?"

He acted very naturally, but he didn't know that the audience in front of the TV and the two commentators were stunned by this scene.

Zhang Li swallowed his mouth, and wondered: "What happened? This Chinese player chatted with the Knicks coach? This person...he may not be a player of the national team."

When Sun Zhengping got excited, his voice trembled like Huang Jiaju's. "Could it be...he is a Chinese player representing the Knicks? I don't know which CBA team he is from. He looks very young. How come the news has never been reported before?"

As soon as this remark came out, things became bigger.

In China, an official from the basketball association was watching the game on TV, and immediately called to inquire about the situation. After asking around, no one knew what was going on.

The Basketball Association strictly prohibits players from going abroad to play games at will. The reason is very simple, because this is China.

It happened to be working hours, and the person in charge of the Basketball Association immediately called a meeting, showing his authority and arrogance. "Quickly check and find out who this person is. Young people are disorganized and undisciplined, and they go to the United States to participate in the summer league without approval. No matter how strong they are, this kind of person is a violation of the rules and must be criticized."

The people below have everything they say, and their tone is basically the same. Without them, the officials and lords nod, and there is no way to "fly solo". The young people doing this are purely playing tricks. Anyone who refuses to accept discipline will end up with Ma Jian, who insisted on playing in the NCAA, in minutes, and don't even think about entering the national team.

The men's basketball game hasn't started yet, and the officials don't care if they can win or not. They just want to catch a model now.

The staff immediately called the management of each CBA team and tried their best to do nothing. Of course, Yang Rui has no record in China, not even a photo. Not to mention the Basketball Association, even James Bond can't find it. what.

During the warm-up, the Chinese players also found Yang Rui on the opponent's bench, who was like a little red among the green. They were curious, but inconvenient to ask.

Thibodeau summoned the starting players to emphasize a few tactics. Yang Rui sat on the side with his legs crossed like an old man. The old god was there, and the Chinese commentator couldn't guess his real identity.

Starting in China: Li Xiaoyong, Hu Weidong, Sun Jun, Gong Xiaobin, Wang Zhizhi.

Knicks starters: Atkins, Jackson, Bowen, Moore, Ben Wallace.

Moore won with a jump ball and the Knicks went first.

Just like when rehearsing tactics, Jackson held the ball in the middle of the road and waited for his teammates to move. Atkins suddenly ran back from the left bottom line to the upper line, and Moore pulled out to cover and blocked Li Xiaoyong.

In this era, it is not popular in Chinese basketball to defend from the inside, but likes to stay in the penalty area and guard the basket. At this time, China was not even used to the concept of "power forward", and Gong Xiaobin was also known as Asia's number one "second center". Obviously, the Chinese basketball world is quite persistent in dominating the basket.

As soon as it is attached, it will break down, and there will be a big vacancy on the periphery.

Atkins received a pass from Jackson, shot a 70-degree jumper from the left, and the ball went into the net hollow. Whoa! 3 to 0.
