Throughout the game, the Wizards made 30 of 81 shots, a shooting percentage of only 37%, and 2 of 8 three-pointers, a shooting percentage of 25%. The Timberwolves made 39 of 83 shots, a shooting percentage of 47%, and 3 of 7 three-pointers, a shooting percentage of 43.9%.

Just looking at these two statistics, everyone would think it was a massacre. The Wizards also lost 4 rebounds and had 5 fewer assists overall. In this case, they actually won.

In terms of free throws, the Wizards made 29 of 33 shots. Among them, Maggette made 8 of 8 free throws and Stoudemire made 11 of 12 free throws. They were important contributors to the victory.

The Timberwolves' performance at the free throw line was 9 of 15. The most fouls were committed by substitute Reggie Lester, who made 2 of 4 free throws. The second was Garnett, who made 3 of 3 free throws.

Stoudemire is really a "little bully" when he goes down after the screen. As long as he bypasses Garnett, his mobility and explosive power can crush the other Timberwolves insiders. Lauren Woods, Nesterovich, and Trent couldn't do anything to him. He scored 29 points, 11 rebounds and 1 assist.

Maggette had 16 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, Wesley had 11 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists. Jordan performed generally, with 10 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists.

Although the Timberwolves players have a high shooting percentage, their scoring mainly relies on mid-range shots. Both the penalty area points and free throws are twice as low as the Wizards. The Timberwolves, led by the "hard special", are too soft inside.

After the game, Yang Rui became the focus, and the media believed that the reversal was due to his tactical arrangements.

The Minnesota media complained for the Timberwolves, denouncing the Wizards for taking too many free throws and making foul play unsightly.

Facing reporters' questions, Yang Rui said seriously: "I guess many people will say that we have too many free throws, but those are uncontroversial fouls. Our players have physical advantages and the opponents can't stop them. Fouling is a strategy." . But we are not afraid of shark-killing tactics."

Reporters in the venue fainted. Damn your shark-cutting tactics. Who would use this on someone who shoots 80% of his free throws?

The reporter asked: "The Wizards have made the best start in recent years. What do you think?"

Yang Rui said with a smile: "It's only been four games, so I don't have much impression. When the season is halfway through, if I can still maintain this level, I will definitely have a lot of feelings."

The reporter asked: "You have said before that too many timeouts in NBA games will affect the enjoyment of the game. Why do you call so many timeouts in every game now? According to statistics, you are the coach who has called the most timeouts since the start of the game."

"The Wizards were rebuilt in the summer, and many new players came in, but they didn't get used to it well enough. If I didn't call a timeout in time, the game would be chaotic at a certain time.

Resulting in losing the game. In order to win, I can only slap myself in the face now. After all, the Wizards are not the Raptors last season and do not have so many stars. Yang Rui said with a smile, not embarrassed at all.

When he arrived with the Wizards, he felt that being a head coach was interesting again and felt the excitement of basketball. Constantly making adjustments and arranging tactics in the face of adversity gave him a sense of accomplishment.

In the Raptors' last season, Yang Rui really felt that he was just a spectator and did not need to arrange any tactics. The core of the Raptors who had been working together for three years knew how to play.

In Yang Rui's view, being an NBA coach is like a game. Since it is a game, it is interesting if it is a little difficult. Even when playing Contra, clearing the level with three lives and clearing the level with 30 lives are completely different experiences.

Yang Rui's coaching level has improved a lot in recent years. He studies tactics with his assistants. Among the three of us, there must be one teacher. He is well aware of the advantages and disadvantages of various tactics and knows how to maximize the team's combat effectiveness.

On the 6th, the Wizards defeated the underdog Cavaliers back-to-back 107-100.

The game scene was very ugly. Under Yang Rui's arrangement, the Wizards players increased their outside cover runs. As a result, the players continued to shoot from beyond the three-point line and only made 5 of 23 shots.

It took a year for the Raptors to become a super three-point team. The Wizards used to play two-pointers. Hamilton is an excellent shooter, but he has developed bad habits after three years in the league. He runs freely and freely within the three-point line, but is uncomfortable running along the three-point line. He often steps on the three-point line when taking shots.

In this game, he stepped on the three-point line twice and turned three-pointers into two-pointers, which was depressing. Yang Rui didn't change this problem in his previous life, even when Hamilton participated in the three-point contest.

During the game, Hamilton made two mistakes. He stepped on the three-point line when taking the last two shots and was ruled invalid. If these two goals did not hit the line, the bonus ball could add 3 points, then his score would be the same as Dirk Nowitzki, and he would enter the next round of the competition. In the end, he was eliminated with only 14 points. .

There are only two people in the team who can move smoothly and cannot run well in three-point tactics. In order to ensure the offense, Yang Rui can only arrange to attack the basket. It would be a shame to lose to the Cavaliers at home.

The Cavaliers are worse this season than Yang Rui in his previous life. The core is swingman Ricky Davis. On the surface, the data is very good, averaging 20 points, 5 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game. In fact, this guy is a person who expresses the word "cancer" to the extreme. , he will not lead the team to win, and it is common for him to be invisible at critical moments. In order to make a triple-double, he can throw the ball towards his own basket.

The only strong player in the Cavaliers' interior is center Ilgauskas, but he can only be a second-in-command and is not a leader. His offensive ability with the ball is average. After returning from a serious injury, he has reduced the number of strong attacks at the basket. He mainly plays after the high pick-and-roll. Catch and shoot.

Moreover, Boozer, an important backup big man who was supposed to join the Cavaliers, was selected by Yang Rui to the Wizards. The Cavaliers lacked a big man who could stretch. Forward Jumaine Jones, who was originally supposed to be the team's sixth man, is now with the Raptors.

It is difficult for the Cavaliers to win 15 games this season, and they are at the bottom of the league.

Even against such a weak team, the Wizards' offense was not smooth enough. In the end, they relied on scoring in the penalty area and performance on the free throw line to win the game in the final quarter.

Maggette made 4 of 14 shots, 0 of 3 three-pointers, 13 of 15 free throws, and scored 21 points and 5 rebounds.

Stoudemire made 7 of 11 shots, 9 of 12 free throws, and scored 23 points and 10 rebounds.

Wallace made 4 of 6 free throws, and even substitute Tyronn Lue made 5 of 5 free throws. The number of free throws made by both sides was 43 to 22.

Jordan only scored 8 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists in this game. Seeing the bravery of his teammates inside, he rarely rushes to the basket. Jordan is not good at three-pointers. If he doesn't shoot fadeaway shots in the low post, he won't be able to score.

After this game, the media did not say much good things about the Wizards. Especially the Cleveland media began to question the Wizards' style of play, saying that they relied on a group of rampaging muscular men to win and were a "free throw team."

In fact, Yang Rui also has a headache. If you win in this way, you will kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred to yourself. Today, Stoudemire was pulled down during a dunk. He fell hard and made people very worried.

His body turned sideways in the air and landed on his back. Fortunately, he was strong enough and was not injured.

The style of hitting the basket is particularly prone to injury. If Stoudemire dunks less, he will definitely not decline in the 2011-2012 season. His knees are too worn out.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Maggette and Wallace were often injured, all due to their playing style.

Entering the playoffs, physical confrontation will become stronger. Now the Wizards have an advantage because their style of play is already playoff intensity. When they really enter the playoffs, if the Wizards cannot get many free throws, the situation will not be good. .

Yang Rui decided that even if it was difficult to win, he would focus on practicing tactics and strive to combine internal and external aspects rather than focusing on one point.
