The Pope of Basketball Community

On the 11th, the Raptors challenged the Pistons away and won 127 to 106.

In three days, the Raptors players had enough energy, and the Pistons did not lead once in the whole game. After the start of the game, the Pistons performed poorly with 1 win and 5 losses.

It is also an offensive-oriented team, and the Pistons are obviously inferior. The two stars Hill and Stackhouse overlap, and both need to attack with the ball to exert their power.

Facing the Pistons, who relied on outside shooting and lacked the ability to attack inside, Yang Rui asked Tracy McGrady to play power forward for a while, and O'Neal played small ball as a center.

The Pistons had to double-team Carter. After the pick-and-roll, veteran Mills couldn't prevent a breakthrough. With a double-team, Christie and Curry threw three-pointers from the side. Christie was 4 for 8 and Curry was 6 for 9.

Seven Raptors scored in double figures. Carter only played 25 minutes and scored 20 points. McGrady played 22 minutes and only scored 14 points.

After the game, veteran Dell Curry participated in the press conference and was sought after by reporters. He averaged 12.5 points, 2 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 20 minutes per game. He shot 45.2% from the field and 47% from the three-point range. Three-pointers were more accurate than two-pointers.

An efficient shooter who can shoot the future MVP, the Bucks are not even willing to give him an annual salary of 2 million because of lack of organizational skills. Fortunately, this is not a problem in the Raptors. As a point guard, Curry does not need to organize, and even dribbling the ball across the half is the work of Carter and McGrady. He just waits outside the three-point line.

A group of reporters gathered around Yang Rui to ask their thoughts, and they all felt that he had a big mouth, and it was easy to break out big news.

"Jerry, the Raptors have won five games in a row. In the official strength list, the Raptors have risen to the first place. How did you do all this?"

"I told the players to do their job well, not to fight indiscriminately, and then eat on the sidelines, watch the game for free and be a fan." Yang Rui replied with a smile.

The reporter asked: "Do you think Carter can become the MVP of the regular season? If he succeeds this season, he will be the youngest MVP in history."

"At first, I thought he could win the MVP, but now it seems a bit uncertain." Yang Rui replied seriously.

The reporter then asked: "Why?"

"Because he is restricted by a very strong opponent, I also feel very difficult, there is no good way to adjust, this opponent comes every game, called 'garbage time'!"

The reporters in the room shot wildly together, these words are too arrogant,

News appeared.

Yang Rui's evaluation of Carter made the headlines of many media the next day and became popular all over the world.

If I see farther than others, it's because I stand on the shoulders of the keyboard warrior.

After 2010, there are countless jokers on the global Internet, and in this era when the Internet is just emerging, a great joker like Yang Rui is rare in the world. Fans have started a discussion about this.

"This is probably the most arrogant thing a coach has said in NBA history? Can you give similar examples?"

"Garbage time is Carter's biggest enemy when he wins the MVP. Jordan has never been treated like this before, right? God comment."

"The most eye-catching person on the Raptors is the head coach Jerry Young. He dares to say anything. Compared with him, Reggie Miller, Barkley, and Payton are not big mouths."

"I think Jerry Young can become a star by hosting a talk show instead of being a basketball coach."

Carter's expression at the press conference was also on fire. He was interviewed after Yang Rui. When the reporter said Yang Rui's evaluation of him, he stayed for five seconds, smiling half-smile, which became an emoji on the Internet.

Carter said: "Of course I hope to meet the coach's requirements and play a better game. It would be great if I can win the MVP and championship."

The happiest people are not Raptors fans, but president David Stern.

Carter's popularity is invincible this season, and the sales of jerseys and sneakers are the first in the league. His topicality even surpassed that of Jordan, who just entered the league. He was only the fifth overall pick, and he was directly aimed at the championship and MVP in the second season.

All of this is because Yang Rui is driving Carter away, making him want to keep a low profile. To do well in the American sports world, one must have a personality, and a low-key person must be prepared to be looked down upon by the president and forgotten by the media.

The most typical example is Ray Allen. After entering the league, his statistics in the Bucks are better than Kobe's, and his offensive efficiency is higher. But Kobe's 1998 All-Star Game is like that. Who knows who Ray Allen is?

When the Raptors returned home, Yang Rui did not arrange training, and gave the players a day off. They only met the challenge of the 76ers on November 14, a game that was broadcast live across the United States.

During the holidays, he and Stana Katic dated and played in Toronto and went to the amusement park. They were followed by paparazzi, and their street photos were posted, which made the news again.

Whether it's because Yang Rui is not white, or because he speaks too arrogantly, some media questioned his professional ethics, thinking that he didn't work hard enough, and let the players go.

The head coach of the 76ers is the famous old and stubborn Larry Brown. The media compared the two, which made the game full of gimmicks. The 76ers are a team that relies on defense to win. This is a contest between spear and shield.

In addition, in the league's star-making movement, the two most popular outside stars are Carter and Iverson. The contest between the two is very attractive, and fans expect them to soar. Even before the game started, it was already heated up.

Iverson has a resounding nickname answer! Unlike the "half-human, half-god" Carter, Iverson has attracted the love of more civilian fans. Negroes, especially those born in the ghetto, liked him and looked up to him as a role model.

Both Carter's mother and adoptive father were teachers, but their life was difficult when they were young, and they lived relatively petty bourgeoisie in middle school. Adept at playing the saxophone, he was a high school band director and received a music scholarship.

Iverson has been living at the bottom of the society, and his body is like an ordinary person. He is 183cm tall and weighs 75kg. He became the shortest scoring champion in history last season. Is there a more inspirational story than this?

Of course, there are more people who like Carter, the reason is very simple, because he is good at dunking, even more beautiful than Jordan's dunking.

Yang Rui didn't intend to let Carter and Iverson soar in this game, but let another person steal the spotlight, so he chatted with McGrady alone during training in the morning.

"Tracy, let me ask you a question. If you were to play against Iverson, do you have the confidence to defend him? Don't let him play super data."

McGrady thought for a while and said with a wry smile: "I will mainly defend against breakthroughs and use my height and wingspan to interfere with his shooting. But it is difficult to guard against him. His speed is too fast, and the inside players of the 76ers will cover him. As long as he gets rid of it, I can't catch up behind him."

"That's what I like about you. Tell the truth, don't brag." Yang Rui laughed.

McGrady complained in his heart, since you don't like braggarts, why did you say everything in the interview?

Yang Rui asked again: "To change the question, if Iverson defends you, how many points do you think you can score?"

"It depends on how many shots I can get." McGrady replied.

"As long as you play against Snow or Iverson, you have unlimited shot rights." Yang Rui smiled and said: "Others will defend and pass the ball, this is how you play this time."

"Really? Then I can score more than 50 points." McGrady said pleasantly.
