Yang Rui didn't expect that boldly using people can achieve such good results. After all, the Knicks' starting strength is obviously higher. His original plan was to use Houston to let Van Gundy see Houston's core potential.

As a result, he found that Van Gundy did not know how to use Houston, but no one could use the offensive end except Ewing. He is still in the stage of playing single-core offensive, so Ewing is in a normal state and the offensive is not good.

In Yang Rui's previous life, after Ewing was seriously injured and reimbursed, Van Gundy was forced to change to the outside dual core. During the Rockets period, the Yao and Maggie combination also took turns to play singles.

The defensive coach is just a label on Van Gundy's forehead, and he is not at all good at the offense.

Yang Rui felt that he could not continue to fight like this. Van Gundy was the head coach. This result was a bit hurtful and would affect Van Gundy's prestige in the team.

It may not be a good thing for Yang Rui. The face of the core team also needs to be maintained. If Ewing, Starks and others dislike him, can they still work happily in the future?

During the break, Yang Rui called Thibodeau aside and smiled and said, "Tom, you can lead the team in the second half, and you will arrange the offensive and defensive tactics."

"Ah? Why?" Thibodeau was stunned.

"Everyone is an assistant teacher. I can't just care about myself and let you watch it, right?" Yang Rui shrugged.

When Thibodeau was happy, he almost used Sakamoto's secret skill and repeatedly jumped sideways. With the intense exercise from left to right, he could make the wind blow.

Of course, if Thibodeau dances like this, it will never be cool. It should be similar to the picture when logging in with the QQ number in the lower right corner of the computer.

"Okay, then you can rest for a while and leave it to me." Thibodeau went to tell the players about tactics.

When the players came on the court, Thibodeau felt something was wrong...

Taking the lead in the first half, Yang Rui has proved his strength. Now he has given Quan to him, and he feels very comfortable. The two are closer, but Yang Rui does this as if he is deliberately letting go.

If they finally win Van Gundy's starting team with substitutes, the head coach will lose all his face, and even if he admits their abilities, he will feel uncomfortable.

Now that Thibodeau leads the team, he has also given the difficulties to him. Only by losing can everyone be happy.

Thibodeau glanced at Yang Rui and shuddered.

Is this guy really 23 years old? Compared to him, I am 39 and still as simple as a boy!

In the second half, Thibodeau followed some of Yang Rui's tactics and continuously created misaligned offensive opportunities through off-ball cover.

On the White Team, Ewing and Johnson found their feelings and were unstoppable, and reversed the score in the third quarter. Both sides were on the bench in the final quarter, and the White Team won 105 to 124 in the end.

Van Gundy breathed a sigh of relief, without a smile on his face. He knew very well that Yang Rui was the audience in the second half and did not arrange tactical adjustments.

Bringing a group of marginal people into this way, if you change teams... Van Gundy dared not think about it.

Everyone walked to the venue and waved to the fans around them, and the curtain call of the open training class was over.

The players received interviews on the sidelines.

Many reporters surrounded Ben Wallace, and his performance was really eye-catching. Although there were no statistics, he grabbed a lot of rebounds and had beautiful blocks. Ewing and Johnson experienced it.

Houston and Atkins together ensured the offense, which also attracted the attention.

Atkins made Ward and Chiles feel threatened. Atkins was poor in defense and short in size, but they lacked speed and breakthrough ability.

Even Bao Wen had interviews with reporters. He made two three-pointers today, and Mills, who was defending, only scored 2 points. He smiled and talked to the reporter about his thoughts.

In Yang Rui's impression, Bowen of the Spurs is a gloomy and non-talking person, but Bowen is not like this at all.

The environment creates people. Popovich is a serious coach, and the Spurs are a place where facial paralysis is abundant. In contrast, the atmosphere of the Knicks is not bad now.

Van Gundy praised Yang Rui in an interview. "I believe the Knicks will make a breakthrough this season. I have a very outstanding assistant coach who has brought a lot of surprises to the team. Several players in the summer league performed very well."

The reporter asked: "Houston led the bench to lead the first half. Will you consider giving him more ball rights in the new season?"

"Yes, he will be the core of the Knicks' outside line." Van Gundy answered without hesitation.

Before the game, Yang Rui recommended Houston to become the team's outside core. Van Gundy was a little skeptical. He played very well today. As long as he arranged tactics, his scoring ability seemed to be not as good as Ewing.

Ewing scored a lot of points today, his shooting percentage was not high, and his condition was average. If he reduces the number of singles on the offensive end, he can focus more on the defensive end.

In fact, the management greeted Van Gundy in the summer, and Ewing's role needs to be changed. He has hidden dangers of injury, and he is the person who cannot afford to be injured in the team. He must control Ewing's playing time and ensure efficiency.

Van Gundy has always been a headache for the team's lack of attack power. Yang Rui gave a solution during the interview, and it can allow internal and external players to cooperate more.

Van Gundy knew very well that he needed Yang Rui, and he should be able to arrange appropriate offensive tactics for Ewing to let others share the offensive pressure.

Yang Rui did not have any reporter interviews, and the assistant coaches were far less attractive than the stars. The substitutes were leading in the first half, and most of them automatically thought that the players were outstanding in strength and in excellent condition.

He took the jersey from the sidelines to Houston. "Alan, please help sign an autograph. My friend and I like you very much. That handsome guy on the sidelines can't get in the sidelines. He is your fan."

Yang Rui pointed at Hunter and Jill, and they waved to the side together.

Hunter was so excited that he shouted, "Alan, you are the best."

Many fans like Houston, he is a recognized handsome man among black people. Yang Rui said that it means nothing but to like him. Assistant coach and Van Gundy communicate for a long time, so he is easier to get on the position, so Houston took the jersey seriously, placed it on a chair, and squatted on the ground with a signing pen to sign beautiful spots.

"Jerry, what are you signing?"

"Never give up your dreams!" Yang Rui said with a smile.

Houston savored this sentence carefully and found it great. He quickly wrote it down, and his name and handwriting were elegant and graceful.

Manager Ernie walked to the sidelines and said to Yang Rui kindly: "Jerry, you're doing a pretty job. Try to maintain this level in the new season and help the team."

"I can." Yang Rui gained a lot in a training class.

He has been recognized by the management, and some people even think that he is better than Van Gundy, and it is impossible not to be reused!

The management affirmed his work. Only in the new season will he have a certain say in the team, rather than simply making suggestions and looking at Van Gundy's expression.
