Chapter 651 [Easy Sweep, Reinforcements Completed]
On August 28, the group stage begins. The Dream Nine team defeated Croatia 114-78, setting a record for the largest point difference in the history of the two teams' confrontation.
Anyone who questions the strength of the Dream Nine team should shut up. Iguodala, Westbrook, Durant, and Griffin can score a dunk highlight and win beautifully.
Moreover, the Mengjiu team's defense is also excellent. Four highly mobile players on the outside interfere with shooting, leaving one person to guard the penalty area and protect backcourt rebounds.
The next four group matches were also big wins without any resistance.
Entering the finals, the Dream Nine team defeated Angola, Russia, Lithuania, and Turkey, and won the World Championship with a complete victory record. It beat its opponents by an average of 31.7 points per game, and never allowed its opponents to score more than 90 points in a game.
This is the first time the United States has won the World Championships since 1994.
The players scored relatively evenly, with 7 scoring in double figures. The best performers on the outside are Durant, Iguodala, and Westbrook, while the best performers on the inside are Griffin and Love.
Griffin is the dunk king this year, while Love is the most stable. He only plays 15 minutes per game and can always score more than ten points and grab six or seven rebounds. In the international arena, Love plays a greater role than "Warcraft" Howard. His ability to escape makes it easier for teammates on the outside to break through.
Curry is not outstanding. He only made 4 three-pointers in the game against Angola and scored 14 points and 3 assists.
After winning the championship, everyone was convinced. Yang Rui's team could always beat the opponent, even if the lineup seemed flawed. The reputation of the players of the Dream Nine team is far different from that of the Dream Seven players in the 2006 World Championships.
After the game, Yang Rui said in an interview: "Starting today, I will permanently retire from the national team because it is too unchallenging. To win is very simple, fast break, take advantage of the players' mobility, positional battles, if you encounter a zone defense, Just open up the formation and establish a core that can ensure offensive efficiency. If you don't know who to replace me in the future, just choose Jerry's team, it's absolutely right."
Having won two championships in the international arena, Yang Rui has achieved all the top honors and has no interest in leading the team to compete in the 2o12 Olympics.
The few "Yang Hei" people on the Internet are holding on to the last position. The only one who can question is that Yang Rui does not have an NCAA championship.
No matter how much money the university pays, Yang Rui has no interest in coaching the NCAA, just like a man who has won an Oscar won't lower his worth to make a low-cost American TV series.
Those who say it is more popular may not have watched the NCAA at all.
The college season begins in December. More than a thousand four-year universities in the United States and Canada are divided into three levels and dozens of leagues to compete in divisional competitions, and the top 64 are finally determined. For conference games, even in the first-tier league, most of the game stadiums are empty, and they will not be broadcast by television stations. Relying on a group of unknown students to attract fans and suppress NBA, isn't this a foolish dream?
Entering the knockout round, not many people will pay attention to the first two rounds unless they are traditional powers like Duke and North Carolina. It wasn't until the Final Four that the NCAA began to show its strong ability to attract money, because the core of the team is likely to become an NBA star in the future.
In terms of basketball skills and tactics, the difference is more than one level, especially on the offensive end. Basically, they just watch the ball passing around the perimeter with no chance. When the final time comes, it’s just an X or a few Bd. Most of the average team The scoring comes from offensive and defensive transitions and secondary attacks.
The psychology of college players is as fragile as paper compared to NBA players. Being able to come back from being 10 points behind is basically a nerve of steel. Even if the coach arranges appropriate tactics, most people cannot execute them well.
Yang Rui returned to Los Angeles, and the Clippers' remaining two spots have been decided.
There are many veterans who want to join, including many former stars. Yang Rui was rejected by manager Olshey. He asked to sign functional players who are not well-known.
The Clippers signed insider Sheldon Williams, nicknamed "The Landlord". He is 2o4cm tall, weighs 114kg, and has a wingspan of 224cm. He was selected by the Rockets with the highest pick that year, but has never been successful.
Joined the Celtics with a minimum salary last season and averaged 11 minutes per game, scoring 3.7 points, 2.7 rebounds and 0.4 assists.
Yang Rui is optimistic about Sheldon because he is a graduate of Duke University and has very strong execution ability. Duke University often produces some excellent tactical performers, but their personal abilities are average, so the upper limit will not be too high after entering the NBA.
Shelton is good at guarding pick-and-rolls and grabbing offensive rebounds. He has an advantage in mobility at the 4th and 5th positions. His weakness is poor offense, and his scoring depends almost entirely on picking up misses.
The last pick gave 38-year-old veteran insider Kurt Thomas a basic salary. He played 7o games for the Bucks last season and scored 3 points, 4.2 rebounds and 0.7 assists in 15 minutes.
What Thomas can bring to the Clippers is valuable game experience, which can help the two young blue-collar insiders improve their strength. He is 2o6cm tall and weighs 1o4kg. He is in good condition and can still keep up with the pace of the game.
On the offensive end, he has a stable mid-range shot. On the defensive end, he has outstanding skills and excellent defensive awareness. He is a role model for inside players. He relies on his skills to make up for his lack of physical fitness, and has gained the reputation of "Crazy Eyes" and "Dirty Kurt". Number.
Big-name veteran Yang Rui is all looked down upon. For example, "Shark" O'Neal can no longer run. He has a leg injury and cannot play a few games at all. He can only be used as a mascot after signing.
After several serious injuries, McGrady's condition declined severely. Last season, he had a disagreement with Derrick Rose in the Bulls. He no longer has the ability to be a star, but he is still unwilling to give up his position as the boss.
Even if McGrady is willing to take a salary cut of one million to join, he may still be a hidden danger in the locker room. For example, Tracy McGrady was dissatisfied with Gay, or asked Curry to be his bag-carrying boy. Did Yang Rui pretend not to notice? Or say a few words about McGrady? No matter what you do, someone will be unhappy, so just stop coming.
Iverson also wanted to join and expressed his willingness to serve as a substitute. But the Clippers are currently too strong at the No. 1 position. Iverson can't even play as a substitute when he comes. He can only be a marginal player and appear in garbage time.
Iverson played 3 games with the Grizzlies last season before being waived. He played 25 games with the 76ers, 24 of which averaged 13.9 points, 3 rebounds and 4.1 assists per game. He played 32 minutes and shot 41.7% from the field. The hit rate is only 33.3%.
It is not difficult to see from the playing time that Iverson's scoring efficiency is extremely low. Many young guards in the league can score more than 15 points in 32 minutes and have a higher shooting rate. Iverson is still a defensive black hole.
He is definitely not willing to let Iverson be a marginal player in the team. He couldn't accept being a substitute last season. Being the sixth man on the team is probably his minimum requirement.
Last season, a reporter interviewed Iverson in the Grizzlies: "Can you tolerate being a substitute?"
Iverson answered clearly: "No, this is why I am unhappy here. I have played basketball for 26 years and have never been a substitute."
Amys think that Iverson, who "doesn't play as a substitute or be a submissive citizen", is very cool and has his pride, but which team dares to ask for such a cool Iverson?
Yang Ruidi gave priority to cultivating Curry and laid a good foundation for establishing a dynasty in the future. Looking for balloon stars to attract fans is the approach of an underdog.
But the fans don't care about this or the rationality of the lineup. They can't understand why big names like McGrady and Iverson are willing to cut their salary to join, but the Clippers don't, so it has caused quite a controversy.
"Jerry Young is so ruthless. Seeing that McGrady is getting old, he is not even willing to give him a chance to be a substitute."
"Signing star veterans can attract fans, but the Clippers actually refused. Although Paul and Griffin are strong, and Curry also has a future, who are the role players? They can't be named at all. How will they play in the new season?"
"Iverson is better than Gary Neal, right? I really don't understand why the Clippers don't want him."
No matter what the fans say, Yang Rui's thoughts will not change for them.
