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

One is the middle-lane forward organization, the side-free running tactics, and the other is fast attack.

The fast break is arranged for the substitute lineup. People with outstanding physical fitness and average basketball merchandising are difficult to make them honestly run tactics. Eighty-mostly one person plays with the ball, while others stand to watch. Since this is the case, it is better to let them play as fast as they can and play their specialties.

The defensive tactics are handled by Thibodeau, and they are all assistant coaches. Yang Rui cannot take over the responsibility alone. He can only decentralize power so that Thibodeau will not be dissatisfied.

There is also Van Gundy above them. The 39-year-old Thibodeau is very far from becoming a head coach. He is a strong career and has not been married yet and is extremely eager to succeed. If he has no chance to perform at all, he might kill Yang Rui one day, and the weapon is his umbrella.

Yang Rui has a good EQ and is good at taking tricks. It is difficult for other college students in his previous life to find a better job than him. His personality advantages make up for Jerry's previous weaknesses.

In the evening, the players all arrived at the stadium and rested in the locker room to wait for the game to begin.

The Chinese men's basketball team came yesterday. The game schedule started at 7:30 and they made it easier for them to make the jet lag. This time in China is in the morning and they won't feel sleepy.

The American media does not pay attention to the summer league, but the stadium 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 an orange and white sportswear for the players participating in the summer league. The details made the players feel comfortable and had good morale. When they were about to play, Yang Rui fell behind.

"Tom, you guys go out first, I'll go to the bathroom."

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

"I'm ready. I'm sitting on the sidelines after the game starts." Yang Rui didn't feel embarrassed.

Thibodeau joked: "Don't go wrongly after a while, your compatriots are gone."

Yang Rui was indeed very nervous. This was his first battle in two lives and formal coaching, and it had special significance.

In addition, he can name all Chinese men's basketball players. He went to the CBA live in his previous life, but he didn't succeed in wanting the signature of CBA players. Now, he wants to bring a group of old men to defeat the stars he once admired.

I wonder what domestic fans will feel when they see him. Will the fans support him?

In China CCTV5 live broadcast competition, Zhang Heli and Sun Zhengping partnered to comment.

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

Suddenly, Zhang Heli focused the audience in front of the TV with one sentence. "Hey, a Chinese player went to the wrong place."

Sun Zhengping's words made many viewers faint: "He walked to the Knicks' table, oh... who is this? Judging from his height, he should be a defender. Could it be Li Xiaoyong?"

"Li Xiaoyong is warming up on the court." Zhang Weiping said with a sweat: "This player is really careless. Didn't you see that the people sitting there are black and white players?"

The "player" they are talking about is of course Yang Rui. Thibodeau joked that no matter where he sits, someone will think he is going to the wrong place.

Yang Rui wore a red sportswear today, which was obviously different from the Knicks players, and it just looked very similar to the outer robes of Chinese players. Although the brands were different, the commentator was not so easy to distinguish through videos.

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

Yang Rui was nervous just when he entered the court, he felt a little stressed when he saw so many people in the audience, and when he walked to the player's seat, he almost adapted.

The coach doesn't have to play on the court. If you arrange your tactics, you will be the audience on the sidelines. What's so scary? As long as you meet a strong man who can dodge in time when saving the ball.

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

"Of course it's okay." Yang Rui raised his legs, crossed his chest, and said relaxedly: "Even if I have something to do, won't you still have?"

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

Zhang Heli swallowed and said strangely: "What happened? Did this Chinese player chat with the Knicks coach? This person...he may not be a player of the national team."

Sun Zhengping was excited, his voice trembling as if Huang Jiaju. "Is it... he a Chinese player who plays for the Knicks? I don't know which young player in the CBA team he looks very young, why has the news never been reported before?"

As soon as this statement came out, things got bigger.

In China, a basketball association official was watching the game on TV. He immediately called to inquire about the situation and asked for it for a while, but 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 head of the Basketball Association immediately convened a meeting, showing his authority and was full of domineering. "Check it out quickly and find out who this person is. Young people are unorganized and disciplined, and go to the United States to participate in the summer league without approval. No matter how strong such people are, they are illegal and must be criticized."

The people below said everything, and their tone was basically the same. Without them, they nodded and wanted to "fly solo" the sect. Young people did this just to make a fuss. If anyone disobeyed the discipline, they would end up with Ma Jian, who insisted on playing the NCAA back then, and they would not be able to join the national team.

The men's basketball game has not started yet, and the officials don't care whether they can win the game. Now they want to catch a typical example.

The staff immediately called the management of each CBA team and worked hard to do uselessly. Of course, Yang Rui had no record in China and did not even have a photo. Not to mention the Basketball Association, he couldn't find anything even when he found James Bond.

During the warm-up, Chinese players also found Yang Rui on the opponent's table, which was a little red in the green. They were curious, but it was not convenient to ask.

Thibodeau summoned the starter and emphasized a few tactics. Yang Rui sat on the side like an old man with his legs crossed, and the old god was there, and the Chinese commentator could not even guess his true identity.

China's first launchers: Li Xiaoyong, Hu Weidong, Sun Jun, Gong Xiaobin, and Wang Zhizhi.

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

Moore won the jump ball, and the Knicks attacked first.

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

In this era, Chinese basketball is not popular to defend the inside, but prefer to huddle in the penalty area to guard the basket. At this time, China is not even used to the concept of "power forward", and Gong Xiaobin is also known as Asia's number one "second center". It is obvious that Chinese basketball is quite persistent in dominating the basket.

Once you are obsessed, you will lose your mind and there will be large spaces on the outside.

Atkins received a pass from Jackson, and made a 70-degree jump shot from the left. The ball was hollowed out into the net, swish! 3-0. Hu Weidong received the ball on the right side of the box, and Bao Wen was the main defense.

Chinese Jordan vs. Bowen, Yang Rui was sweating for Hu Weidong on the sidelines. The full nickname of Bowen in the future is "Southern Fist, North Leg, Covering the Crotch", abbreviated as "Southern Side Uncle", McGrady, Carter, Francis, Kirilianko and other stars were injured by his secret force. Szebiak was the worst, and he got a Foshan shadowless foot and almost went to DC to play a two-faced man.

Yang Rui was really afraid of the rise of Bao Wen's play, so he stretched out his black foot when Hu Weidong jumped. Before the game, he specially reminded the players not to maliciously hurt people. Why do people on the edge make things difficult for people on the edge?

Bowen is not just a perineum, and his defensive skills are not vegetarians. Hu Weidong broke through with the ball, and Bowen made a accurate judgment, blocking the breakthrough route.

Hu Weidong passed the ball to Wang Zhizhi and hit Ben Wallace. The 20-year-old Dazhi received the ball with his back and collided with Da Ben. The center of gravity immediately shifted. He was unable to turn around and face frames close behind, so he had to pass the ball to the periphery.

Wang Zhizhi's physical fitness determines that he can only be like a fish in the light Asian confrontation matches. The stronger the confrontation, the easier it is to magnify his weaknesses. This time, the Mongolian center "Ba Star" (the man's name seems to be cursed by a god, and it will automatically become an asterisk when written). He did not join the national team due to private reasons, and the lack of strong centers in the men's basketball inside line is a major weakness.

After several passes, Sun Jun missed the outside shot and Moore got the rebound.

The Knicks' positional battle, the players pulled away.

Moore once again covered Atkins's cover. They didn't do anything else this morning, so they mainly practiced this. After the cover, Moore didn't have to run, and stood still and waited for the ball to return.

Wang Zhizhi followed Moore, who was about the same height as him, and asked Li Xiaoyong to chase and defend. Atkins was short and faster and more agile. How could he be easily caught up with?

Many people think that South Korea's basketball level declined after 2004. It used to beat China twice, but was crushed later. In fact, it was not the case that Chinese basketball finally learned to defend in the 21st century.

Although the Chinese men's basketball team reached the quarterfinals twice in the international arena, they lost to the United States, Lithuania and other strong teams, four or fifty, which is common. Among them, the worst part of the men's basketball team's defense is outside shooting, so South Korea won twice with its small fast-spirited style of play.

How could Yang Rui's players compete with the talents? Atkins completely got rid of the ball when he received the ball, and made another 70-degree jump shot from the left, 6-0.

When the Chinese team attacked, the ball was still left to Hu Weidong. He broke through with the ball, and Bao Wen interfered with it and kept moving forward.

Bowen's defensive experience is not as good as the Spurs' period, and his physical fitness is much better than that. After being encouraged by Yang Rui, Bowen tried his best to defend, just to get a basic salary in the Knicks.

Hu Weidong didn't have a good chance to make a phone call, so he passed the ball to his teammates. Li Xiaoyong had no cover for running, so he was followed. He passed the ball to Wang Zhizhi again, and he was the main defender.

Wang Zhizhi turned around and shot with a one-on-one challenge, but was still disturbed from the basket. The ball went out and Moore won the backcourt rebound.

The Knicks continued to run tactics. This time Wang Zhizhi came out to defend. Atkins passed the ball with the opportunity. Moore scored 60 degrees on the left and jumped near the penalty area. Li Xiaoyong, who was 189CM tall, just stretched out his hand and the ball made 8-0.

The Knicks played a wave of the storm at the beginning, and Thibodeau admired Yang Rui more and more. This tactic is simple and effective, which is to pull out the opponent's inside line and then play the wrong position.

Ewing, Oakley, and Johnson can shoot in the Knicks, and tactics are also feasible to fit the Knicks. For a little extension, as long as the guards on both sides repeatedly run like this and take long distances during the reception, it will be enough for those teams who are not good at making defense in the interior.

Yang Rui stood up to watch the game. When the player returned to defense, Moore and Atkins ran to the sidelines and hit him.

This shot happened to be taken by the cameraman, and the audience in front of the Chinese TV was in an uproar.

"Who is this person? Why are you on the Knicks?"

"Traitor, Chinese players actually cheer for their opponents?"

"Where is Zhang Bin? There is a team member under your command who has been rebelling."

Zhang Heli was confused and made a brain-opening analysis: "We saw the Chinese player on the sidelines celebrating with the Knicks. He was wearing a uniform that was obviously not the Knicks. This was too unreasonable. Strangely, the people on the Knicks' side were very natural."

Sun Zhengping took a deep breath and said, "He is sitting with the head coach. The two have communication. I guess he may be a Knicks staff member, and he should be a Chinese from the United States."

Everyone thinks this explanation is reasonable. As for what the staff is difficult to guess, anyway, I won’t be able to play on the court.

Yang Rui wanted to be a player, but he had average physical fitness and had no chance to practice football since he was a child, let alone now?

Officials from the Basketball Association also guessed that Yang Rui might be Chinese. The leader blushed and wanted to catch a typical example just now, but they didn't care at all.

The Chinese men's basketball team did not score a goal until the sixth round. The Knicks side Ben Wallace and Moore scored two more goals, leading 12-2, and Zhang Bin called a timeout.

After the timeout, the Chinese team's offense was still not smooth, and the stars were suppressed one-on-one, and everyone felt something was wrong.

Is this the Knicks Summer League team? A group of players that the NBA doesn't want is so powerful?

They almost never lose their position on the defense end, and they switch defenses in the interior are very fast, and they are as physically compatible as beasts.

It is difficult for the men's basketball team to create open shots on the outside, and they cannot score in the inside, so they are held back by the short and strong Ben Wallace. Wang Zhizhi's strong attack was blocked, and Ben jumped up and his head was almost flat, making up for the lack of height to a certain extent.

At this time, many Chinese fans were missing the "Ba Star".

The Summer League quarter only had 10 minutes, and the Knicks did not substitution in the first quarter, leading 31-13.

The Knicks began to inspect the lineup in the next quarter.

Three excellent black players, big center Luke, and a white man Brad Jones who is 193CM tall and good at shooting, played.

Brad changed to play a point guard and it didn't matter if he was not good at organizing. Anyway, he grabbed the rebound and launched a counterattack. Luke was responsible for protecting the penalty area and grabbing a rebound and passing the rebound.

The Knicks' defense quality declined significantly, and the Chinese team's offense finally opened, but the score difference could not be narrowed. Four minutes later, Yang Rui was not satisfied with the Chinese team's equal strength and took the initiative to call for a timeout.

The camera was given to the sidelines. When Yang Rui stood up with a tactical board and waved to let the players gather together, the audience in front of the TV was shocked.

Zhang Heli said in disbelief: "Is this young man, the Knicks, talking about tactics? Am I dazzled?"

Sun Zhengping's eyes stared from Lin Yilian to Chen Yulian. "He must be talking about tactics. Oh my God, that fat man is watching on the side, it seems... he is the head coach!"

The live videographer was also surprised because the Knicks had not held a press conference to announce the new assistant, so the American media did not know that a Knicks coach was Chinese.

China's Internet has not developed this year, otherwise Tieba will definitely explode. Even so, many fans called their friends and told them to turn on TV soon. A miracle happened in the summer league, and some Chinese were coaching in the NBA.

Some people suspected that they were dreaming, turned off the TV and reopened it, thinking that "it must be the wrong way I turned it on!"

How could he be a coach at such a young age?!
