The Pope of Basketball Community

The team had the first record in the regular season, but was questioned by countless people when it reached the second round of the playoffs. Van Gundy's head fell faster than Yang Rui's previous life, and his wrinkles appeared earlier.

He seriously discussed the countermeasures with the assistant coach and decided to let Ewing and Johnson play separately. Johnson went to the second quarter to bring the substitute, Oakley returned to the lineup, strengthened the defense, and the rebounds were more guaranteed.

In addition, two guards were used to press the frontcourt. In the second quarter, the offensive rhythm was also accelerated to counterattack. Ben Wallace controlled the rebound, and the others rushed down.

Only Chucky Atkins continued to sit on the bench and didn't have a chance to play, only because he didn't have a good name, and the cup can be filled with "Chucky".

After setting up the tactics, Van Gundy was not happy. This was also the tactic that Yang Rui played in the Knicks before. He knew very well that if he didn't do this, the Knicks might have to go home.

In the second game, the players probably wanted to reflect their gorgeous style of play and let more merchants see the commercial value, so they played a little casually after the opening.

At the beginning of the game, Carter had a difficult 36o turn and missed a layup. This goal is very beautiful, but no matter how beautiful it is, it is only two points. As a coach, I don't want players to play like this in key games.

Billups also shot very resolutely. He made four shots against Ward and only made one goal.

After Oakley, the Knicks are stronger defensively but weaker offensively. The scores of the two sides were close in the first quarter, 19 to 18.

In the second quarter, Yang Rui sent a substitute to run and bomb, and the Knicks changed.

After a 6-minute break, Ward and Childs played together again. The strikers Sprewell and Johnson ensured the offense, and the center Ben Wallace.

The Knicks' small lineup prevented the Raptors' quick counterattacks, and the Knicks also took advantage of Miller's shortcoming of slow defenses and played two counterattacks.

Sprewell got it right, shot three three-pointers, and passed McGrady for a layup. He scored 11 points in 4 minutes, leading the team to a 19-4 attack wave, and opened the score in one breath.

The Knicks have people who can run, and there is more than one. If Yang Rui is the head coach of the Knicks, with a more terrifying lineup than last season and super defense, he will definitely win more than 40 games easily.

Under adversity, Van Gundy was cornered and forced to try something he didn't like, with amazing results. The home fans didn't expect that the Knicks could also play a sharp fast break!

In the second half, the Raptors deployed an offensive lineup and failed to take advantage of the Knicks' defense. Only when Ewing was on the court did the defense change a little slower.

In Yang Rui's previous life, the reason why the Knicks were able to create a black-eight miracle was that they had a stronger defense without Ewing. The substitute insiders Camby and Kurt Thomas are good at defending against pick-and-rolls. Now Ben Wallace and Oakley are two partners, and the defense is even better.

In the final quarter, Van Gundy used two guards to defend against the Raptors' running and bombing, withstood the counterattack, waited back, and maintained the advantage until the end.

97 to 1o8, the Raptors lost away, with a total score of 1 to 1.

Yang Rui was not depressed, saying that the advantage was already on the side of the Raptors, and he had completed the task set. That night, the group flew back to Toronto to prepare for the home game.

In the 1998-99 regular season, major awards came out six times in a row. Yang Rui successfully won the best coach, thus creating a historical record and becoming the youngest NBA best coach in history, only a month away from the age of 25.

Yang Rui accepted the award in Toronto and held a press conference.

He said in his speech: "I am the luckiest head coach. I joined the strong team Knicks at the beginning.

Then I got the opportunity to coach the Raptors. The Raptors have many potential players. I believe that even if other coaches come to coach, as long as they don't deliberately make things difficult for them, they can play a good record. "

The reporter asked: "But the team members all feel that you have tapped their potential, and they are very grateful to you."

Yang Rui said with a smile: "That's because they have potential to tap, such as Carter and Tracy McGrady. Are their physical conditions inferior to Jordan? I don't think it is bad. They have improved the morale of the team with passion. Billups also has a lot of Strengths, great shooting, physical strength, and with hard work, I think he'll be one of the best defenders at the 1 someday."

The reporter asked: "You are one of the rare coaches who will hang out with the players and eat together in the away game. This has caused some controversy. What do you think?"

"Yes, our relationship is very good, we are friends. Except for going to nightclubs and eating junk food, we can be together. I don't think there is anything wrong with it. There is more communication, and everyone can say anything, even if there are conflicts It was all resolved immediately. It was good communication that allowed the Raptors to have a successful season."

The reporter asked: "McGrady won the best sixth man and the most improved player award at the same time. Many people say that he is not inferior to Carter. What do you think?"

Just yesterday, McGrady won the best sixth man and the most improved two awards.

The sixth man ranked second is point guard Darrell Armstrong, whose statistics are beautiful enough, but the defensive end is a black hole, unlike McGrady who has been affirmed both offensively and defensively.

O'Neal's progress is obviously from a low starting point, while McGrady has changed from a blue-collar to the team's second leader. The judges finally decided to give him both awards. This is the first time in history.

McGrady laughed all day after getting the news, and was asked to treat him by his teammates. This may be the reason why he didn't play well at night.

"They are all excellent. The purpose of substituting McGrady is for better offense. Both of them can get more possessions. They did not disappoint me or the fans. They deserved the award."

In the regular season mvp rankings, Carter ranked fourth in the league, successfully won the best rookie, and was elected unanimously. The Raptors have a rich harvest of honors this season.

Jazz veteran Karl Malone won the mvp.

Although the Spurs and Trail Blazers have better records, their lineups are better than the Jazz. It is a miracle that Malone can lead this old Jazz team to the third record in the Western Conference. The two bosses are really old, their statistics are ordinary role players, and they also suffer from defensive confrontation.

The best defensive player is Alonzo Mourning of the Heat. Since the Heat didn't meet the Knicks, he didn't make a famous shocking speech like Yang Rui's previous life.

In the series against the Pacers, the Heat led 2-0. Mourning was in a very happy mood and said good things.

In addition, Carter was also selected to the best team for a while, pushing Jason Kidd out for a while. The other four are Iverson, Duncan, Malone, and Mourning.

Second Team: Ewing, Webber, Grant Hill, Kidd, Payton.

Three Teams: Tim Hardaway, Reggie Miller, Kobe Bryant, Garnett, O'Neal.

Carter achieved this feat in his rookie season, largely because of his high popularity and the league's strong support. He is as strong as Olajuwon, McDyess, and Barkley, but none of them were selected for the third team.

The best defensive team has nothing to do with the Raptors. It is the people of Yang Rui's previous life. Before Pippen and Payton were old, it would not be Christie's turn. The best defensive team also depends on fame, and it is difficult for an offensive team like the Raptors to win awards. 8
