The Pope of Basketball Community

Yang Rui accepted exclusive interviews with two media outlets, both scheduled in the afternoon, each with half an hour, separately, at a coffee shop near the apartment.

When facing the Chinese media, he mainly talked about basketball and evaluated several Chinese players.

"Wang Zhizhi and Hu Weidong both have the ability to play in the NBA. I hope to see them in the NBA. I think Ba Xinghao and Yao Ming will also land in the NBA in the future. China has many outstanding centers."

The cctv5 reporter was very happy, but also expressed concern about the situation in the country. It would be useless if the Basketball Association did not release the player despite his strength.

A reporter from Canada's CBC radio station interviewed Yang Rui and was more inclined to his life. He only asked a few basketball questions.

"What are your usual hobbies?"

Yang Rui said with a smile: "I have many hobbies, including watching movies, working out, playing video games, tasting delicious food, riding bicycles with my girlfriend, etc... I also like to write diaries on Facebook and share my experiences with friends."

A Canadian reporter asked: "When you guest-starred in "Friends", you and Thomas stated that you were the spokesperson for the Minions. On Facebook's official website, the two Minions did have your last names. Is this true?"

"Really, I thought that was fun."

This is not an advertisement, and Yang Rui did not deliberately hide it. Fans on the Internet have already pointed out the truth. "Jerry Young is very familiar with Hollywood child star Scarlett Johansson, and Thomas Bentley, the boss of Facebook, is the handsome blond guy who lives with him, so the minions use the names of the three of them."

However, netizens don’t care about these truths at all. Only a few people who follow Facebook care. The IT industry has reached a bottleneck. Most investors have a wait-and-see attitude because Facebook has not shown extraordinary profits. ability.

After Thanksgiving, the Raptors flew to Salt Lake City to challenge the Jazz.

The strength of the Jazz has declined significantly, especially on the defensive end. Stockton is already dead. After the Hornacek trade, the new Alvin Williams is not much better. He is only slightly stronger in physical fitness and incomparable in experience. .

Dee Brown is the highlight of the Jazz this season. Together with Howard Eisley, they form a double guard as a substitute, which can share Malone's offensive pressure. He has not been injured since leaving the Raptors, averaging 27 minutes per game, 12.1 points and 2.1 assists.

The Raptors' offensive power was far superior to that of the Jazz, easily winning 106 to 87 and winning 13 consecutive games.

Jeff Hornacek’s wife Stacey brought her daughter Abby to watch the game.

Not far from the dugout.

Yang Rui always felt a chill on his back. Every time he turned around, he could see Abby glaring at him condescendingly across three rows of seats. Her death glare was spotless and otherworldly. It reminded Yang Rui of a certain "tourist" in a future monster movie. Her expression didn't change, which was simply unscientific.

After the game, Yang Rui couldn't help but ask: "Jeff, is it my imagination? Why do I think Abby is staring at me the whole game?"

Hornacek smiled bitterly: "I went to play in the East and could only go home once during the whole season. She said you were a bad person and deceived me. Don't worry, kids are ignorant."

Yang Rui was sweating violently. Her expression didn't look like she was ignorant, but like she was ready to come down and compete with him at any time. Fortunately, the three rows of seats were an insurmountable gap for her who had just entered elementary school...

In back-to-back games, the Raptors defeated the Warriors 106-88 in an away game, winning 14 consecutive games.

O'Neal Jr. defeated Foyle, the eighth pick in the first round of 1997, making 10 of 13 shots, 8 of 8 free throws, and scored 28 points and 5 rebounds. The latter only had 8 points and 7 rebounds.

Carter scored 27 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, and received a lot of applause in the away game, which embarrassed the Warriors management. They originally paid cash for Jamison. Even if Jamison averages 19.8 points and 8.3 rebounds per game this season, he is completely unable to compare with Carter.

On the last day of November, the Raptors encountered a strong challenge.

The Eagles were not strong at the start of the game with 5 wins and 9 losses, but they showed their strength against the Raptors.

Former Trail Blazers boss and swingman Isiah Leder was traded to the Hawks. He averaged 36 minutes per game and his data increased to 20.6 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.9 assists. He looked like a star again, suppressing Carter in a one-on-one game in the first quarter and scoring 13 points.

Mutombo also had an amazing performance on the offensive end, making 4 of 4 shots and scoring 8 points.

Jim Jackson, who was packaged by the Trail Blazers for the Hawks, also became a starter here. His data increased to 16.7 points, 5 rebounds and 2.8 assists, and he hit two three-pointers in a single quarter.

The Eagles led 36-23 in the first quarter. The Hawks continued to take the initiative in the second quarter, with rookie Jason Terry scoring two consecutive three-pointers.

Terry was the 10th overall pick in 1999. As a point guard, what he is good at is not ball control and organization, but scoring, breakthrough and shooting.

Unfortunately, Hawks coach Lenny Wilkens was a "traditional point guard" when he was a player. He disliked people like Terry who couldn't pass the ball. He didn't arrange suitable tactics for him, so Terry could only be free. play. Not being reused doesn't mean he has no ability. Terry occasionally acts like a star when he gets windy.

McGrady made 0 of 5 shots while being defended by Roshawn Mike Leod, who was 203cm tall and weighed 100kg.

Yang Rui had no impression of this person, but McGrady had a hard time challenging him in a one-on-one match.

No impression, because Mike Leod, the 20th overall pick in 1998, only played three seasons before retiring due to injury. He graduated from Duke University with outstanding physical condition and excellent defense. He was injured every season after entering the league. His peak numbers were 9.9 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.7 assists.

Now he has not suffered a serious injury for the first time in his life and has not had surgery. He is an excellent role player.

The Raptors trailed by 21 points 43 to 64 at halftime.

If it is a defensive team, it can be said to be sentenced to death. But in the second half, Yang Rui let people know what an "offensive team" is. The 21-point gap is not too big.

In the third quarter, Christie and Detrev each scored two three-pointers, Curry scored three three-pointers, and O'Neal Jr. also scored a three-pointer. The Raptors shot 38-21 in a single quarter, closing the gap to only 4 points.

The Eagles strengthened their defense in the final quarter, and the two sides began to stalemate until the final 10.3 seconds, when the score was tied at 107 and the Raptors took control of the ball.

Yang Rui called a timeout to arrange a tactic to help Carter catch the ball and execute the final attack.

After Carter caught the ball, he was closely followed by Leder and almost lost the ball. Leder knew that the referee would not call a foul easily at the last moment and send the opponent a free throw, so he took a lot of defensive actions.

When it was difficult to turn around, Carter passed the ball to McGrady. Instead of a pull-up jumper, McGrady feinted, broke through with the ball, and forced a three-step layup.

He relied on his height and jumping advantages to avoid Jim Jackson's block. The basketball hit the board with a high arc and fell into the basket, completing a zero-second buzzer-beater!

109 to 107, the Raptors made a huge comeback at home and won 15 consecutive games.

McGrady showed no mercy at critical moments. He was not in good condition today. He made 4 of 14 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 10 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 4 blocks.

A buzzer beater can cover up all shortcomings. McGrady was favored by the media after the game, overshadowing O'Neal Jr. with 21 points and 12 rebounds and Carter with 18 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists.

Seven members of the Raptors team scored in double figures. In fact, role players who can reverse and win the game and score multiple three-pointers are more important.

Relying on the victory in November, Carter was elected the Eastern Conference Player of the Month, averaging 33.2 minutes per game, scoring 24.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 1 block.

The Western Conference Best of the Month went to O'Neal, who averaged 40.5 minutes per game, 30.2 points, 13.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 3 blocks. His statistics are comparable to those of retired ancient stars, and no one in the West can compete with him for the best.

However, Carter continues to rank at the top of the MVP list. Choosing MVP depends on record and data. The Raptors have better results, and Carter is not low in efficiency, playing 7 minutes less than O'Neal.

On December 3, the Raptors defeated the underdog Wizards 105-93 and won 16 consecutive games, tying the Knicks' record of winning streak at the beginning of the 1997-98 season.

In the next round, the Raptors will face the Spurs at home.
