After the All-Star Weekend, the Wizards management quickly responded to Yang Rui, willing to give him trades, draft rights, an equal voice in the management and the manager, and a high salary of 3,000,000 for five years. Δ┡E『Δ 『NovelＷｗㄟＷ． 1XIAOSHUO. COM

There is still a long time before the end of the season, and the two parties have reached a verbal agreement. As long as this contract is signed, Yang Rui will enter the ranks of top coaches.

In 1999, Phil Jackson signed a long-term contract with the Lakers, and it was only 30 million for 5 years. Jackson's qualifications are much higher than Yang Rui. Next season, the two will be the highest-paid coaches in the NBA, including Pat Riley, Old Nelson and others. No such treatment.

No one in the Wizards management opposed the signing of Yang Rui. The Raptors' strength in four seasons is obvious to all, and Yang Rui's achievements in leading the team are enough to make people ignore his age.

The regular season continued. When he was in Toronto, Yang Rui had dinner with Glenn Gruward and owner Richard Peddy, indicating that this was his last season with the Raptors.

The Raptors management often asks Yang Rui about his intention to renew his contract and is willing to offer a high salary to retain him on the best terms. Yang Rui lived very happily here. Everyone had never had any conflicts, so he didn't want to hide it from them.

"We will win the championship together this season without leaving any regrets. There will be outstanding coaches willing to join the Raptors in the summer, or they can keep Tom (Thibedeau), and he can also do a good job."

Richard smiled bitterly: "I don't think anyone can do better than you. Are you leaving Toronto for your girlfriend? I think the movie you invested in will be released soon."

"No, I want to change the environment, find some excitement, and have more fun in life." Yang Rui smiled and said, "So, I will choose to join a bad team."

"Can you tell me where you're going?" Glenn asked.

"Keep it secret."

The Wizards are also in the Eastern Conference and will be the Raptors' opponents next season. Yang Rui has no confidence in defeating this abnormal team he built himself.

In the summer, Brad Miller and O'Neal are completely free agents. They can make the decision if they want to leave or renew their contract. Coupled with the fact that Carter has to be re-signed with a maximum salary, it is impossible for the Raptors to retain a complete lineup.

Even so, the Raptors lineup is scary enough. Reid, Kirilenko, and Parker are all excellent immediate combat capabilities. As long as the coach who takes over is right, the Raptors will still be strong.

The two blessed Yang Rui without showing any dissatisfaction. Yang Rui has done enough for the team.

On the trade deadline, there were only a few transactions in the league.

There are fewer teams inspired to win the championship.

The Mavericks have always had the habit of making surprising moves at the last minute. Last season, they also completed a five-player trade at the deadline in exchange for Juwan Howard. This year, the Mavericks acquired former All-Star guard Van Exel, center LaFrentz, French guard Wahad and former Spurs champion guard "Little General" Avery Johnson from the Nuggets.

The Nuggets received former All-Stars Juwan Howard, Tim Hardaway, fringe power forward Harvey and a 2002 first-round draft pick.

The Mavericks' biggest weakness is the center position. LaFrentz is more suitable to partner with Nowitzki than Howard. He has outstanding physical fitness and a balanced offense and defense. This season, he averaged 14.9 points, 7.4 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 0.6 steals and 3 blocks per game. The shooting percentage was 46.6% and the three-point shooting percentage was 43.4%.

The Mavericks have many big men who can shoot, and Wang Zhizhi's status in the team is bound to be affected.

The Kings and Yang Rui have changed in their previous lives. Originally, they were supposed to trade point guard Jason Williams for Mike Bibby last summer. But with Baron Davis, the Grizzlies are improving every season and have no shortage of point guards. That famous deal fell through.

"White Chocolate" Jason Williams' style of play has attracted many fans, but in order to get into the top five, he doesn't like to pass the ball head-on. In terms of strength, he is not as good as Bibby, his organization is not stable enough, and his defense is even worse.

This Kings team is a little weaker than Yang Rui's previous life, and it will be difficult to beat the Lakers.

On the deadline, the Grizzlies wanted to change a shooting guard, so they sent Bibby to the Rockets for Rockets shooting guard Michael Dixon.

Dickerson has stayed healthy in the Rockets and has good statistics this season, averaging 16.2 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3 assists per game. Bibby's statistics are slightly inferior due to his limited possession of the ball. He also had 13.7 points, 2.6 rebounds and 5 assists with the Grizzlies. This is a win-win deal.

In addition to trading Dixon, the Rockets also want to send "Big Dream" Olajuwon. Olajuwon wanted to compete for the championship, but didn't want to hurt the Rockets, so he signed a small contract first, and then wanted to trade to other teams in exchange for players or draft picks for the Rockets. In the summer, the Rockets offered the 38-year-old Dream a three-year, 13 million contract, but it was rejected.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Olajuwon joined the Raptors. The Raptors management's idea at the time was that the team had played 7 games with Allen Iverson in the Eastern Conference Finals the year before, and there were first-line superstars like Carter, plus Olajuwon. Zhu Wang can hit the championship. ?

As a result, this trade hurt the Raptors. They exchanged two draft picks for a dream year, but it did not change the team. Although the Raptors made it to the playoffs in 2002, Carter was injured and the team was knocked out of the playoffs by the Pistons. After that, Dameng retired, and the team went straight to the lottery in 2003.

Now of course the Raptors don't need Olajuwon, and other strong teams are unwilling to give away draft picks to replace a veteran who is about to retire. Olajuwon can only end up with the Rockets. In a sense, this is also good news.

The Knicks put "Madman" Sprewell on the shelf, but unfortunately his reputation was so bad that no team was willing to send good chips, so he was forced to stay in the team.

The person the Knicks want to send away more is Grant Hill, who has the highest salary in the team and has been reimbursed for two consecutive seasons. The team also has to pay a large amount of luxury tax.

The Knicks' goals this season are poor, with poor defense from outside players, Ben Wallace is no longer effective, and he is weak. The reason for the decline in defense is that the team let go of Bruce Bowen and regretted it.

Now Bowen has become a small forward in the Spurs and is doing very well.

Raptors players were injured again in February, but fortunately they were not core players.

Backup center Mark Jackson tore the meniscus in his left knee and is out for the season. His luck is really bad. This season is a contract year. If he is not reimbursed, he will almost certainly get a stable contract. With this injury, both the Raptors and other teams will consider his injury history when signing.

After waiting for an opportunity on the bench, Jalen Collins, the team's top coach, finally got a chance to play. Without Jackson, the Raptors' interior lineup is slightly weaker, but it's not the end of the world. They still have two human shields.

Substitute swingman veteran Dan Marley also missed at least 4 weeks due to a right wrist injury, which has little impact on the team.

The Raptors have only lost three games this month, leading the league with 52 wins and 7 losses, but there is little hope of breaking the record again.

On March 5, the Raptors challenged the Rockets away from home, and Carter was injured again.

Carter broke through and hit the lever for a layup. He dodged and moved in the gap and missed the ball towards the basket. He immediately took off a second time and grabbed the offensive rebound. When he landed, he stepped on Eddie Griffin's foot and sprained his ankle. .

For a star who loves to jump, even if Bruce Bowen doesn't cause trouble, sooner or later he will step on other people's feet. This is inevitable by accident.

Carter's injury is not serious, so he needs to rest for two weeks. To be on the safe side, he needs to be observed by the team doctor. If it doesn't work, he will rest for another two weeks. Yang Rui will not let players play with injuries and will save his strength for the playoffs.
