The Pope of Basketball Community

Yang Rui's high-profile is just the right time, because the league hopes that all teams will hold high the banner of offense and play offensive basketball.

David Stern convened a meeting to discuss the tone of next season, and Rui Yang was specifically mentioned. "As long as the Chinese coach Jerry Yang makes the Raptors' offense stronger, he and the Raptors can be praised next season."

Mark Barack, director of the International Development Department and one of the vice presidents, asked: "Is he too young? If he is only 24 years old, if he focuses on publicity, it will cause dissatisfaction among many people."

"Then make them dissatisfied." Stern snorted. Injured malicious fouls, what the NBA needs is a gorgeous offense! Understand?"

Barak nodded, not daring to ask any more questions.

The head of NBA sports merchandise, vice president Christopher took over the words: "I agree to pay attention to the situation of the Raptors. Jerry Young not only followed the Knicks to beat Jordan's Bulls, but also is the innovator that the league needs. His basketball The idea is to attack to win, not to defend. He specifically mentioned this in the press conference when he joined the Raptors."

"Yes, as long as he has the ability, he is a good coach, regardless of age." Stern said with a smile: "It would be even better if the Raptors can produce a superstar."

After the discussion, the league made a plan to continue looking for "Jordan's successor". Next season, the spring of guard stars will come.

Jordan's style of play is not only highly ornamental, but also won the championship. When the NBA was in a downturn, it was Jordan who saved the league and promoted it to the world. Therefore, there are many people who imitate Jordan.

Officials are naturally happy to see batches of flying players emerge. In the past, the NBA was all about muscular players. After Jordan, the NBA's style of play has become more and more outside.

This is doomed that there will be three kinds of Jordan successors in the next few years, one is very similar in style of play and has strength, the other is with different styles and strength, and the other is blown out.

At the same time, the Raptors management also held a meeting to study the goals in the draft. Yang Rui participated in the meeting as a new member and had the right to make suggestions.

He greeted cordially with scouts Gary Voss, Maury Hanks, assistant manager Jimmy Walker and others, and then sat quietly listening to everyone's discussion.

The Raptors' plan is to sign a potential scorer, and it has not been decided whether to sign inside or outside.

At this time, Glenn showed enough respect to Yang Rui, and asked: "Jerry, do you have any suggestions? There are two targets for the fourth pick, both of which are stars of the University of North Carolina, and power forward Antoine -Jamison and swingman Vince Carter."

Yang Ruiming knew the reason and asked, "Do you have any detailed information?"

"Let me first briefly introduce the situation of the two of you." Scout Hanks didn't bring any information, but he did a detailed investigation, and he opened his mouth when he talked about the situation of the two of them.

Jamison is North Carolina's number one star, averaging 19 points, 9.9 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game. He has comprehensive skills and is predicted by experts as a rookie destined to become an All-Star.

Jamison played both basketball and football in high school and was also an excellent quarterback with good vision. He played for the University of North Carolina for three years, and together with Vince Carter helped North Carolina become the most powerful team in the NCAA. Jamison won both the Naismith and Wood awards for best athlete in his junior season.

Carter University's data is much lower, participating in 103 games, averaging 12.3 points, 4.5 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game. In his junior season, he participated in 38 games, averaging 15.6 points, 5.1 rebounds and 2 assists per game. He was selected to the All-NBA First Team and the All-American Second Team.

Carter's advantage is his amazing physical fitness. Some experts say that he reminds people of the former genius Len Bias, who is said to be able to single-handedly beat Jordan. He died of cocaine poisoning two days after the draft.

Even if the scouts didn't introduce them, Yang Rui knew the two of them very well.

He was an All-Star in his previous life and played for the Dream Team.

As a reborn, of course he will choose Carter, unless he has a brain problem, he will choose Jamison. Just looking at his nickname, he knows that Carter is a stronger existence - "half human, half god"!

Carter's physical fitness is the top among outside stars. He is not only a super dunker, but also can shoot suddenly. In the first few seasons of his career, he was rated higher than Kobe and Tracy McGrady.

He is unparalleled in popularity. He has been elected as the All-Star vote leader four times in the Raptors and has won three consecutive votes.

It's a pity that he was unlucky and started his career in Canada. His teammates were average. After McGrady left, he had no one to assist him, and his team performance was poor. After that, he declined due to injury and failed to reach the height expected by the fans.

Yang Rui had a clear answer in his heart, but he smiled and said: "I have no suggestion. I will listen to everyone in the first round. No matter who is selected, I will try my best to develop him into a star."

As long as he doesn't express his opinion, he must choose Carter. He will naturally seize the opportunity and be humble.

Yang Rui's words made everyone in the management team feel comfortable. They didn't want the youngest rookie to make the decision. Especially Glenn, he thought Yang Rui was too sensible.

As a manager, Glenn hopes that Yang Rui can lead the team to achieve good results, but he doesn't want to find someone to do all his work, so why should he?

Everyone continued to discuss and synthesized some opinions. Glenn said: "The worst position for the Raptors is power forward. If Jamison comes, he will definitely achieve results next season. If Carter is selected, it may take a while to train, but Carter's body The quality is better, I think he has more prospects, what do you think?"

From a tactical point of view, Jamison is very suitable, but Carter's style of play is more attractive to fans, and he can make sudden dunks. Everyone voted with a show of hands, four people chose Carter, one person chose Jamison, and then looked at Yang Rui together.

Yang Rui smiled: "Then choose Carter, I will arrange tactics that suit him."

Glenn breathed a sigh of relief. The data gap between Carter and Jamison University was huge, and he was afraid that the head coach would raise objections. Although he didn't have to listen to Yang Rui, but differences arose at the beginning of the cooperation, which was not conducive to the future.

Everyone was surprised, Yang Rui was more talkative than expected.

Shouldn't young people have a temper? Especially Yang Rui, he is not honest. Many media believe that Bao Wendong's decision to hurt Rodman was arranged by Yang Rui.

There was also the racial discrimination incident that was exposed by the sneak shot last summer. Everyone's impression of Yang Rui was that besides being a genius, he was not easy to mess with.

Glenn asked, "Do you have anything to add?"

"I only have one small request. Our No. 4 position has an Achilles' heel. During the offseason, we must trade for a power forward who can shoot and have strong athletic ability. It doesn't matter if he is not famous, and rookies are also fine. If the insiders are all blue-collar, even if it is me It can't make the offense better, and the positional warfare can't open up space." Yang Rui kept smiling.

"No problem, don't worry." Glenn's heart fell to the ground. This request was too simple.
