The situation did not change in the second half, with the Suns overwhelming the Knicks.

The Knicks mainly relied on Marbury and Sprewell to score. Others also took shots, and their shooting percentage was very low.

Ben Wallace is different from O'Neal. Opponents rarely use "shark-cutting tactics" on him. They only need to block the penalty area and interfere with his shooting.

Ben took four shots in the third quarter, all of which were irons. Yang Rui said with a smile: "I can't understand Larry Brown's thinking at all. He leaves players with offensive abilities without developing them, but wants to develop Ben Wallace's offensive abilities. This Ben averaged 9.2 shots per game this season and scored a career-high 9.5 points. Do you think he is mentally ill?"

Barkley said: "I can only say that Wallace's offensive efficiency is indeed very low."

Yang Rui was just a guest and left after commentating on this season. Barkley planned to commentate for a long time and could not be so unscrupulous.

Ben Wallace averaged 37.7 minutes per game this season, scoring 9.5 points, 12.4 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.8 steals and 3 blocks. The field goal percentage was 42% and the free throw percentage was 49%. As a center, Ben's shooting percentage is lower than that of most guards, and his free throw percentage is a career high, which is at O'Neal's level, averaging 3.6 free throws per game.

On the other hand, Yao Ming shot 52.3% from the field, but averaged only 4.4 shots per game in the Knicks, less than half of his original number. If Yang Rui could let others see Yao Ming's achievements in the parallel world, it would be a big joke.

Yang Rui commented on the Suns and said good things. "The Suns don't have a super point guard now. The advantage is that Ward, Hill, and Joe Johnson can organize and ensure the movement of the ball. After Marbury left, they have a tacit understanding. If fast-break passes can be better To be precise, the sun would be stronger."

The point difference continued to widen, with the Suns leading by 29 points entering the final quarter.

During garbage time, the Suns deployed a full bench lineup, the Knicks Marbury continued to play, and Yao Ming was deployed in the post, quickly regaining some points.

Yao Ming made 5 of 5 shots in 4 minutes, scored 10 points, and grabbed 3 rebounds. He can compete for the scoring title in the international arena, and it is easier to deal with the Suns' substitute interior.

However, as soon as the Knicks' offense started to pick up, Brown replaced Yao Ming and Marbury, sent in fringe players, and gave up the game.

Barkley smiled and said: "Maybe he thought that Yao Ming played too well and you would criticize him, so he changed him."

Yang Rui didn't criticize Brown. He couldn't think of any words to describe Brown's replacement. He probably had to give him a rap song and Brown did an awkward dance to suit the occasion: "If I don't drink Dali, I feel uncomfortable all over. I use Yao's name again." I feel uncomfortable all over, I feel uncomfortable all over..."

Barbosa and Jacobson felt good today. They jointly hit 5 three-pointers in the second half, widening the point difference again.

The Knicks bench was sleepwalking collectively, scoring only 6 points in nearly 7 minutes, and only 18 points in total in the final quarter.

In the end, the Knicks were defeated 88-121.

Yang Rui lamented: "The Knicks played an amazing game after the trade. I couldn't help but want to exclaim, the Knicks are really bad!"

Smith asked with a smile: "Do you think the Suns have hope of winning the championship this season?"

"There is no hope. The Suns just look very competitive. Hill, O'Neal Jr., Marion, and Joe Johnson are outstanding stars, but their lineup has obvious shortcomings. The No. 1 position is weak and the defense in the penalty area is not good enough. "

Barkley asked: "You think Joe Johnson is a star?"

"Yes, he shoots accurately, is strong, has excellent passing awareness and singles skills, but the Suns have many attackers and it is difficult for him to produce star data." Yang Rui said with a smile.

Joe Johnson is a free agent in the 2005 season. If no team offers Joe Johnson a big contract, he will ask the management to grab people. "Single Joe" can shoot reliably at critical moments, but is a bit weak as a core, and is more than enough to be the second-in-command.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Garnett called Joe Johnson "Joe Jesus" and McGrady said he was one of the top three clutch players in the league. 2016,

The fans made a highlight of his key goals, which actually lasted for 11 minutes. It was truly a big game.

To say that Joe Johnson's key goals are among the top three in the league is a bit underestimated. He is probably the first.

Smith asked: "How do you evaluate D'Antoni?"

"We used to be good partners and colleagues, but now we are strong opponents. We both attack and win. When I come back and meet the Suns coached by him, the game will be very exciting."

After this game, the fans who supported Larry Brown online were intimidated. They didn’t know how to criticize Yang Rui even if they wanted to.

No matter who the opponent is, Brown works hard on defense and lacks on-the-spot adaptability. Once the defensive system is broken, the team will lose. When Marbury was first introduced, the Knicks management was very arrogant, but now they have been poured cold water on them.

The most embarrassing thing is that D'Antoni is a "Jerry coach", and Brown has never beaten his assistant, let alone Yang Rui.

There was no Internet when Brown was active. Fans only learned about players and coaches through magazines and news. If the media wanted to praise a person, it could easily mislead fans. If a person like Brown was born 20 years later, he would not start coaching in the NBA until 2000. , will be sprayed to death by fans, and then pulled out from time to time to whip the corpse.

Yang Rui evaluated Brown and compared his past records with other famous coaches. Anyone with a discerning eye will feel that his reputation is not worthy of his name.

Yang Rui flew to Memphis again to prepare for the commentary on the Grizzlies vs. Timberwolves game.

Stana is still filming "Female Spy", Thomas Bentley is busy with the listing of Facebook, and Yang Rui will stay at home and be a homebody if he returns to Los Angeles. He chooses to travel around the world.

This is a focus game of this round. Both teams are ranked within the playoffs. The team configuration is both internal and external core, and they are facing each other. Sam Cassell versus Baron Davis, Kevin Garnett versus Pau Gasol.

The stars of the two teams are similar in strength, but the victory or defeat does not just depend on the stars. After the game started, the Grizzlies easily took the lead, and the other three positions of the Timberwolves were blocked.

The Timberwolves, who failed to introduce Sprewell, have little difference in combat effectiveness from last season.

In Yang Rui's previous life, the Timberwolves only sent away point guard Terrell Brandon, whose contract was about to expire, and exchanged it for "Madman". It was simply unbelievable and made people wonder if they had engaged in some insider trading. Brandon was unable to play due to injury in 2002, but his annual salary is as high as 11 million, which is purely a burden of salary.

In the second half, the Timberwolves' offense did not improve. Szczerbiak was taken care of by Posey and Battier, and it was difficult to score. When he missed a good three-point shot, Garnett yelled at him as he came back on defense.

Yang Rui commented: "I think Szczerbiak must be broken inside now. He didn't score enough. After the game, the media and fans will definitely say that it was his fault that the loss was because he did not give Garnett a chance to win." Enough support. If I were him, I would have proposed a trade long ago and sent him to any team. From now on, how many games the Timberwolves lose has nothing to do with him."

Szczerbiak has been selected as an All-Star, but when people mention the Timberwolves, they always say that Garnett leads the team independently. This is quite strange.

And Szczerbiak would definitely not be domineering in proposing a trade. He didn't dare to publicly ridicule Garnett as a paper tiger until 2012. "Garnett is a player who has always lacked key ball instincts. He never made key shots in the Celtics."

Objectively speaking, his comments make sense. Garnett's critical ball skills are indeed terrible, but such remarks were ridiculed by the media. "Szczerbiak, do you want to add insult to injury and attack your former teammate? He is still fighting on the court, and where are you?"

Szczerbiak was able to leave voluntarily when he was young, but to prove himself elsewhere would be a tragedy.
