Coaching the star team, Yang Rui has a deeper understanding of the stars.

Stars do not know how to play in isolation, as long as they have strong personal abilities. Most superstars have very high golf IQs. The coach only needs to tell them how to play, and they can spontaneously come up with tactics and develop a tacit understanding on the court.

Iverson played the best, perfectly completed the tasks assigned by Yang Rui, and took advantage of his speed to the extreme. Not only could he score, but he could also assist his teammates.

He is as agile as a leopard and as flexible as a loach. His opponents can't hold him back even if they want to. Many of the alley balls were sent by Iverson after his breakthrough. He gave his teammates more opportunities to fly.

Leading by a big score, Yang Rui still satisfied the wishes of the fans and allowed four popular players, Iverson, Carter, Hill, and Mourning, to continue to play on the court.

The "Zen Master" no longer calls for a timeout and just lets things take their own course.

Yang Rui thinks it's normal. During the period of Jackson's coaching, the Lakers were able to play exciting games and win by big scores, but they also had the experience of directly defeating the underdogs. The "Zen Master" just watched quietly from the sidelines, as if chanting sutras and chanting Buddha for them. Pray, because of this, the Lakers were slaughtered by the Celtics by 39 points in the 2008 Finals.

Yang Rui is different. He often leads the team to big wins. Even when the score is leading, he will not use people randomly and arrange a lineup that can play tactics.

In the end, 151 to 135, the Eastern Conference won and scored a super high score.

The Eastern Conference made 17 of 37 three-pointers. Under the no-ball cover tactics, the shooting rate was very high.

Carter made 4 of 7 three-pointers, Ray Allen made 5 of 8, Jones made 2 of 5, McGrady made 2 of 4, Brad Miller made 2 of 3, and Iverson all made 2 of 2 shots.

If it weren't for Reggie Miller's poor state, shooting 1 of 6 three-pointers, the Western Conference would have lost even worse. They only made 5 of 17 three-pointers.

Before the game, some basketball experts said that the two sides were not on the same level at all and that the Eastern Conference could not compete at all. The reason was that the Western Conference had an obvious advantage inside and the result of the game slapped them in the face.

A group of star insiders in the Western Conference were completely useless. In order to prevent the fast break, Malone played a total of 3 minutes and Robinson 7 minutes. Both of them failed to score a point.

The three inside players in the Western Conference scored 20+ points, and the outside line was blown away. Yang Rui has proven the importance of three-pointers.

All 12 players in the Eastern Conference scored. Reggie Miller, who performed the worst, had 5 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists. Mutombo had 4 points and 8 rebounds.

All four Raptors players performed well.

Carter had 25 points, 4 rebounds and 2 assists, McGrady had 17 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, O'Neal Jr. scored 10 points and 4 rebounds on 5 of 5 shots, and Brad Miller had 8 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists.

Iverson played 28 minutes, made 10 of 18 shots, 2 of 2 three-pointers, and 4 of 5 free throws. He scored 26 points, 2 rebounds, 11 assists, and 2 steals. He won the MVP in his first All-Star Game.

When delivering his acceptance speech, Iverson specially thanked Yang Rui and said that he liked the pace of this All-Star Game very much.

Iverson was inspired. Before Yang Rui joined the Raptors, he was not optimistic about this team. However, the result is that the 76ers are no match for the Raptors in the past two years. Brown's philosophy is to focus on defense, while Iverson personally advocates offense.

He couldn't help but think that if Yang Rui was the coach of the 76ers, maybe the team would be better.

The reporter asked during the interview: "Jerry, someone said before the game that the West will definitely crush the East because there are more insider stars. Now that you have won, do you have anything to say?"

"Our players are in better shape." Yang Rui smiled slightly. "Both sides have many stars. I think this is not a question of who is better as the core of the internal and external stars, but depends on the state. If there is another game, the winner may be the Western Conference."

Yang Rui kept a low profile to avoid unnecessary trouble.

On celebrity weekend, everyone comes here to relax and perform. If you mock your opponent and offend others by showing off your arrogance on such occasions, wouldn't that be considered stupid?

And Yang Rui knew very well that the Western Stars did not try their best. If O'Neal, Duncan, and Garnett are allowed to play for a longer period of time, pass the ball to the low post and ensure the efficiency of two-pointers, it will be difficult for the Eastern Conference to win.

He made his position clear, saying it was just luck and that it was none of his business what the media and fans said.

It would also be good for him if the coaches of other teams insisted that "the one who gets the inside wins the world". It would be better if the inside players stay close to the penalty area and do not come out. It is easier to create three-point shooting opportunities from the outside.

The reporter asked: "Can you evaluate Iverson?"

"He is a very unique player with strong scoring ability, skillful skills and fast speed. If he can practice three-pointers well, he will be even more powerful."

This evaluation is quite satisfactory. He doesn't care whether Iverson will practice three-pointers. Maybe he didn't practice less with the 76ers, but his shooting rate was average.

Star Weekend is over, and some fans are partying in Oakland to celebrate the victory of the stars they support. Players from each team have to get back together with the team as soon as possible to continue the regular season.

That night, the Raptors returned to Toronto together, and Stana Katic was on the same plane as them, spending a pleasant weekend.

Yang Rui doesn't need to be energetic and energetic to be a coach. The two of them have been playing like crazy these days. On the sidelines, Yang Rui's face turned pale and his eyes turned blue. He was taken many photos by the media and will definitely be talked about by the fans.

On February 15, the Knicks challenged the Raptors away from home and lost 70-101.

Van Gundy changed the lineup, returned Charlie Ward and Larry Johnson, and asked Ben Wallace to lead the bench. He realized that Ben and Ewing were not suitable, but he ignored the substitute offense.

Several attackers in the team are together, and with Sprewell there, Johnson can only be a fixed-point shooter outside and has no ball rights. Ewing rested for a few days, but his condition was still in bad shape. He was really old and couldn't enter the penalty area under O'Neal's defense.

In the substitute battle, the Knicks relied on John Wallace to attack, but they were still beating randomly.

John finally recognized himself, returned to play in Toronto, no fans booed him, everything was so ordinary. It's not that he's popular, it's that the fans don't take him to heart at all. Many people have almost forgotten that the Raptors have someone like him.

The biggest thing to look down on is not to boo or curse, but to ignore, just like people don't pay attention to ants.

When facing off against McGrady, John acted like a clown. He had no idea what he could do. Unable to pass McGrady, unable to prevent McGrady's passes and breakthroughs, Miller came out to pick and roll, and he didn't know whether to pursue or switch defenses.

The Raptors ball was moving too fast, and he could only watch, unable to do anything. Playing the ball quickly is exactly what Yang Rui asked him to do last season, but he was unwilling to do it.

The Knicks players, except for Houston and Johnson, were collectively lost, and the two of them didn't take many shots.

Ewing made 3 of 12 shots, scored 7 points, 9 rebounds, and no assists; Sprewell made 5 of 12 shots, scored 10 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists; John Wallace made 2 of 8, 5 points, 4 rebounds, and 1 assist; Ben Wallai The Warriors made 2 of 7 shots, 0 of 4 free throws, and scored 4 points, 10 rebounds and 2 blocks. Their performance was miserable.

On the Raptors' side, Carter was still in great form, making 11 of 18 shots, 3 of 5 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 29 points, 5 rebounds, and 2 assists.

McGrady had 18 points, 6 rebounds and 10 assists, and has gained experience playing as a point forward.

After Curry joined the Raptors, he took it like a duck to water. He played 18 minutes, made 5 of 9 shots, 4 of 6 three-pointers, no rebounds, no assists, and scored 14 points.

Miller and O'Neal also scored in double figures.

Van Gundy completely lost his temper. His on-the-spot response was terrible. The team only scored a total of 8 points in the third quarter, a shameful score. After this season, he will most likely be dismissed.
