Chapter 373 [Best 3 times, another record]

When the Bulls lost, the media's focus after the game was not Yang Rui or the Wizards players, but Tracy McGrady.

McGrady's performance was so brave. He scored 41 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists in this game. In the second half, he single-handedly controlled the score and the game was not decided until the last two minutes. If McGrady hadn't been unable to run in the end, the outcome would have been unpredictable.

This year McGrady has entered the peak period of his career and is simply unstoppable. In Yang Rui's previous life, McGrady led the Magic and almost defeated the Pistons. If the first round of the playoffs had not happened to be changed to a best-of-seven game, the Pistons would have been eliminated.

Entering the playoffs, McGrady's scoring average increased to 32.8 points per game, and his shooting percentage was not low, with an overall 44.8% and a three-point shooting percentage of 38.1%.

Yang Rui's use of Jordan in the final quarter is a kind of protection for him. If he competes with Tracy McGrady, he is asking for trouble and will only make people think more highly of Tracy McGrady. In the second half, Jordan was already full of energy, and his appearance would affect teamwork.

The next day, many people on the Internet said that Jordan was dying, and the number of McGrady's fans surged.

Yang Rui saw McGrady's weakness. He lacked physical strength at the end of every game. Continuous high-intensity games will definitely affect his condition. He can't be so accurate in every game.

The fifth crucial game was played at the Wizards' home court. Yang Rui was convinced that he could win and was very relaxed.

Some awards for the regular season have been selected one after another.

Wizards' Amare Stoudemire was unanimously elected as the Rookie of the Year and led the first team of the All-Rookie Team. The other four players were Caron Butler, Drew Gooden, ** Hilario, Jay Williams.

This rookie class performed well, with all five players scoring in double figures. Stoudemire ranks first among rookies in scoring and rebounding data.

No. 2 Jay Williams ranks first among rookies in steals and assists. He averages 12.3 points, 5.4 assists and 1.4 steals per game for the Cavaliers. However, with a boss like Ricky Davis, he seems to be just brushing up the numbers.

Yao Ming was selected to the rookie second team, and the other four players were Ginobili, J.R. Bremer, Gordon Kirisek, and Carlos Boozer.

Recently, there is still a lot of media criticizing Yao Ming because he did not meet people's expectations.

The Wizards' two major inside rookies have been selected, and no one questions Yang Rui's ability to train newcomers. If Yang Rui is criticized, he will be regarded as crazy. There are rumors on the Internet that everyone who plans to participate in the 2003 draft hopes to be selected by the Wizards.

The best sixth man was won by Bobby Jackson of the Kings. He averaged 28.4 minutes per game, scored 15.2 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.1 assists, shooting 46.4% from the field and 37.9% from the three-point range.

Maggette ranked second in the selection, averaging 29 minutes per game, 16.8 points, 4.8 rebounds and 1.7 assists, shooting 44.4% from the field, 35% from three-point range, and 7.2 free throws per game.

He is also a bench gangster, but Maggette is not inferior, and his lethality is even greater. The reason why he didn't win the award is probably because he played too ugly, or the league didn't want the Wizards to win too many awards.

The most improved player is Warriors point guard Arenas. He has no competitors. He has improved from an ordinary role player to a star, averaging 18.3 points, 4.7 rebounds, 6.3 assists and 1.5 steals per game.

The Best Defensive Player award was won by Knicks center Ben Wallace. In fact, both Duncan and Garnett have better defensive abilities than him.

Big Ben won the award mainly because of his statistics. His rebounding and blocking statistics are very good, and his height and afro are extra points.

Experts believe that after Larry Brown joined the Knicks, he maximized his strength, which is bad news for Yao Ming. Big Ben was selected as an All-Star and elected as the best defensive player, and the management could not cruelly trade him out.

Yao Ben has signed a 6-year, 57 million long-term contract with the Knicks. Under the premise that he is not suitable as a partner, Yao Ming's agent considers asking the management to seek a trade in the summer. Staying will waste a lot of time.

All-Defensive First Team: Duncan, Garnett, Kobe, Ben, Christie.

Second team: Kidd, Snow, Bowen, Artest, O'Neal Jr.

After joining the Suns last summer, O'Neal Jr.'s popularity continued to increase, and the team's record was outstanding. A large part of the credit goes to him.

The regular season MVP was won by Dirk Nowitzki of the Mavericks, becoming the first foreign best player in NBA history.

Many Chinese fans feel sorry for Wang Zhizhi. The Mavericks looked like they were going to win the championship this season, but he joined the Clippers with little future last summer. Of course, Wang Zhizhi was not without gains, because the Clippers gave him the most money.

The selection of the best team is quite controversial, because O'Neal missed nearly half of the games and was selected for a while.

First team: Kobe, McGrady, Garnett, Duncan, O'Neal.

Second team: Iverson, Kidd, Nowitzki, Webber, Ben Wallace.

Third team: Nash, Marbury, Jordan, Brand, O'Neal.

There are too many stars with good statistics this year. Only Jordan was selected for the third team of the Wizards with an excellent record, and no one was selected for the Pistons, which ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference. People like Pierce, Walker, Francis, etc. can't be selected even if they have good statistics.

Yang Rui was elected the best coach again. Even though he had expected this result, he was still excited when he received the call. His first goal in coming to the Wizards had been achieved.

Joining a weak team, the record has improved significantly, and it is more in line with the selection criteria for the best coach award. If a coach joins a team like the Lakers, Mavericks, or Nets, he may not be elected if he wins 70 games.

The core of the Wizards players were only selected to the third team of the All-NBA Team, which also reflects Yang Rui's strength from the side. Everyone feels that the Wizards are a team that wins games as a whole.

In fact, David Stern really didn't want to give this award to Yang Rui. As a young man, his achievements were amazing.

It's a pity that other coaches didn't live up to expectations, and the second-ranked coach was Thibodeau. The Bulls' record is worse than that of the Wizards. Thibodeau was Yang Rui's assistant coach last season. People on the Internet say that he is Yang Rui's disciple. If Thibodeau is used to suppress Yang Rui, no one will be convinced, and it will be open fraud.

In this way, Yang Rui became the third coach in the NBA to win three or more Best Coach honors after Don Nelson and Pat Riley. And he is only 29 years old now, younger than many players, and still the best coach in the league. The youngest head coach.

Moreover, Nelson has never led a team to win an NBA championship. Compared with honors, Yang Rui's historical status has now surpassed that of Nelson. Is this justified?

The alliance held a 15-minute awards ceremony. Yang Rui gave an acceptance speech: "I want to thank my colleagues and all the players on the team. Our players don't care about statistics, they only care about winning, so they have achieved good results. I know that I have been very lucky over the years. I I’m honored and very grateful. Special thanks to the judges. I will definitely achieve excellent results in the future. Don’t forget to vote.”

People in the venue applauded together and admired Yang Rui's ambition. If he wins the best coach again in the future, he will become the first coach in the NBA. Judging from his age, he is the most promising person to do this.

The reporter asked: "Tomorrow, do you have the confidence to lead the team to get the match point at home?"

"Of course, although no one says that Washington is the home court of the Devils, we have already worked out a way to deal with the Bulls, and winning Game 4 is proof of that. The Bulls' stars are outstanding, but it is impossible to eliminate the Wizards just relying on the performance of the stars."
