The Pope of Basketball Community

The lack of publicity does not mean that he will not be targeted. Yang Rui guessed right, he has already entered the eyes of the management of several teams.

As long as you show the ability to attract people, you don't have to worry about being noticed. The Knicks' offensive performance is too different from last season. The scouts of each team will definitely dig into the reasons. Yang Rui's role in the Knicks cannot be concealed.

In addition to the Raptors, the deputy squad leader in the East, the management of the Nuggets, the league's bottom one, is also considering poaching Yang Rui as the head coach.

The Nuggets are a team with a fast break tradition. In the 1981-82 season, under the leadership of English, the Nuggets averaged 126.5 points per game, breaking the 125.4 points of the Philadelphia Warriors in the 1962-63 season. Record, created a new NBA record, for the first time in NBA history to achieve more than 100 points in each game in a season.

In addition, they have averaged more than 120 points per game for five consecutive years, and their average conceded points per game on the defensive end was once the highest in the league at 122.3 points.

Regardless of the record, Denver fans of that era feasted their eyes and began to dissatisfy with the now-dead team. Today, the Nuggets' record is a magical 2 wins and 32 losses, which is closer to the worst record in history than the Raptors.

The Bulls management is also considering finding Yang Rui to replace "Zen Master" Phil Jackson.

It's not that manager Jerry Krause thinks that Yang Rui can become a famous coach, but that he knows that the Bulls are finished next season and rebuilding is imperative.

There are tens of thousands of Chinese in Chicago, and Yang Rui's asking price must be much cheaper, which is an advantage.

Michael Jordan is already negotiating with owner Reinsdorf on how to continue serving the Bulls after retirement, and does not plan to continue playing. Jordan's meaning is very clear, give me the equity and the management power of the team, and let Klaus stand aside. This made Klaus very upset, and also had conflicts with Jordan.

Of course, Reinsdorf did not agree with Jordan's idea. Running a team and playing skills are completely different things. No matter how good the martial arts of Joe's gang leader is, he can't be the king of the South Campus.

Reinsdorf is persuading Jordan to stay and continue to play for the Bulls, helping the Bulls complete the transition and reconstruction, and then Jordan retires and becomes a small shareholder of the Lakers and a team image consultant like "Magic".

The negotiations between the two sides broke up unhappy. Jordan is not interested in playing on a bad team, he just wants to compete for the championship. In addition, Jordan's salary is too high, and after the new labor negotiations in the summer, his salary will inevitably be reduced. If Jordan does not want to reduce his salary and still wants to compete for the championship, he can only choose to join other teams or retire.

Pippen will definitely be sent away, and Rodman's contract has also expired. In this way, the Bulls rebuild without a star needs a gimmick. Yang Rui is a good choice, as the transitional head coach to attract the attention of fans.

The Warriors and Kings have no chance to hit the playoffs, and they are also considering rebuilding. Yang Rui is the key object of investigation. As long as the Knicks perform well in the playoffs, he will definitely be the coach of a team next season.

On January 11, the Knicks reversed the 13-point difference at home by relying on their tenacious defense in the final quarter, and defeated the powerful supersonics 93 to 91.

The Supersonics played against the Knicks in the starting line-up. Both Wen Baker and Detlef Schramf on the inside can shoot. Detlef, who is 206cm tall and weighs 97kg, has a shooting range of 41.5% from outside the three-point line. Excellent three-point shooting rate, super mobility, suitable for playing small ball tactics.

The two supersonic swingmen are accurate three-pointers and can open up space. Payton's pick-and-roll is a misplaced opportunity and a sharp breakthrough.

The Knicks won because of the depth of the lineup. Chris Childs also returned. There were no injuries in the team.

This is a key victory, the Knicks kept the top position in the league, the Sonics are 29 wins and 7 losses, one game behind the Lakers.

The schedule after the Knicks was a little easier. Most of the opponents were underdogs, and they did not capsize in the gutter. Among them, they beat the Raptors and Celtics in away games.

January 29,

Yang Rui spent the New Year in the United States without any entertainment activities, and trained and played games with the team as usual.

The Knicks defeated the Bucks 122 to 115 at home. While completing their revenge, they dedicated a wonderful offensive battle to the fans.

"Big Dog" Robinson was still sharp, beating Bowen and Mills with 39 points and 4 rebounds.

Ewing performed poorly, playing 31 minutes and only scoring 14 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists. Fortunately, Houston and Starks stood up and scored 26 and 32 points respectively, leading the team to victory.

Starks made 9 of 12 three-pointers and was unstoppable, worthy of being a super convulsion player. In normal state, he is a role player, and once he gets pumped up, he can't stop him.

The Knicks lead the league, and Ewing was elected the best player in the Eastern Conference in January by virtue of his outstanding record and stable statistics. In the MVP rankings, Ewing also ranks first ahead of Jordan.

The Bulls have a record of 31 wins and 15 losses. On the premise of playing 3 more games than the Knicks, they lost 10 more games. No matter how good the statistics are and how poor the record is, Jordan cannot officially award him the MVP unless the Bulls The record in the second half improved significantly.

The good news for the Bulls is that Pippen has finally come back and is in average form. On February 1, he lost 87 to 112 in an away game to the Lakers. Pippen only scored 13 points. On the Lakers side, 4 players scored 20+.

On the same day, the Knicks defeated their opponents, the Heat, 95 to 83 at home.

When the Knicks pull out the perimeter inside and don't enter the penalty area to build muscles, the super defensive player Mourning is not so effective. The Knicks' strategy is to bypass him and focus on Tim Hardaway, who is 183cm tall.

Veteran shooting guard Dan Marlier, who played in the finals with the Suns, is not as good as before.

On February 3, the Knicks defeated the Bucks in an away game, and then easily defeated Garnett and the Timberwolves without Gugliota back to back, ushering in the New York All-Star Weekend with a wave of 13 consecutive victories.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and finally had a rest.

Yang Rui followed the training, flew away to play games, and experienced the hardships of professional players. The coaching is relatively easy, and he feels very tired flying around. The happiest thing is to sleep late.

Players were hot and cold during training and were prone to catch a cold, but luckily it didn't affect their performance.

The players who play when they have a cold are strong, but the cameras can't capture them. If Johnson and Starks turn around and throw snot into the opponent's face, the fans must be drunk.

Yang Rui also noticed that many players' toes are really deformed.

Everyone knows that the NBA is a hall of basketball, and they think that they can earn a lot of money and attract countless fans by playing casually. The hardships behind them are often overlooked.

What can be seen is the injury on the court, but what can't be seen is even more admirable.

Players practice breakthroughs and jump shots every day, and their toes are subject to various changes of direction and gravity. Their toes are different from ordinary people. This may be the price that a professional player needs to pay behind his great success.

Yang Rui followed suit, the intensity was relatively low, and his body was much better than when he was just reborn.

He has developed a beautiful body of muscles, and when the season is over, he can go to the beach to show off the mermaid line.
