The Pope of Basketball Community

In the TNT studio, Barkley started talking. "Jerry told me he would never talk to Abe Pauline, and he prepared a speech, and I thought it would be best for the court security to arrest him now. No opening game in the history of the NBA has ever been so angry. Extraordinary. Although I always like to watch the excitement, I don’t want to see such a tragic scene."

Kenny Smith continued: "I think Abel Pauline was almost pissed off by the fans. The fans gave Jerry and Michael warm applause and gave him the boos."

Buckley smiled and said: "This old man has a very strong psychological quality. If it were me, I would have to hide my face and run away."

How can he praise people for their good psychological quality? It’s obviously someone who is thick-skinned!

Barkley never knew how to respect the old and care for the young, and he dared to beat Larry Bird during his rookie season. After becoming a commentator, it was common for him to point fingers at young players and veterans he looked down on, and to make sarcastic remarks.

David Stern arrived at the scene and was responsible for awarding the rings.

Each person will present their ring and give a brief speech.

When Yang Rui received the ring, everyone was paying attention. It might be too late for Paulin to rush forward and kill Yang Rui with an axe, but he didn't dare and could only watch Yang Rui take the phone.

Yang Rui cleared his throat and smiled: "First of all, thank you to all Wizards fans. Your support was the driving force for us to win last season. Secondly, thank you to Wizards owner Abel Paulin for giving me the opportunity to compete for the best sports team this season." Commentator Award. I will prove with my actions that I am the best basketball coach in the world."

The fans in the audience fainted and laughed continuously. Stern couldn't hold it back, and his face blossomed with laughter.

Yang Rui continued: "Finally, let me tell everyone about championship rings. As long as they win the championship, the rings will be designed by the team itself, and then the league will pay for the formal production of 25 rings and distribute them to players, managers, coaching staff, etc. At this time If the boss is generous, he can also use his own money to make more and give it to the employees who want to give it to whoever they want. Therefore, my ring is not paid by the Wizards. Abel, this cannot be included in the liquidated damages and salary. I will definitely I won the case. Thank you everyone!”

The audience laughed even louder and the fans applauded enthusiastically.

This time it was Pauline's turn to faint. This was supposed to be the moment when the team reached its peak and celebrated, but instead they made such a weird declaration. Pauline suspected that he would not be able to rest in peace even after his death. Someone may have mentioned this matter in the past 100 years.

Paulin's mind went blank, his scalp was numb, and he was at a loss. Only then did he truly realize how terrifying Yang Rui was. This was the price for offending a super troll! Yang Rui didn't even utter a single curse word, and pushed him into a desperate situation by joking.

Yang Rui's "joke" even touched the Nets players and coaching staff deeply. They were defeated by Yang Rui's "mouth escape" last season. Kidd expressed dissatisfaction after the game, saying that Yang Rui went too far.

Now, when Kidd thinks of Yang Rui sitting in the studio, staring at him, and explaining with Barkley, he feels a lot of pressure. What he thinks in his heart is: "You can't see me, you can't see me!"

I wipe it, how can I not see it!

The ceremony ends and the players warm up. Jordan sat in the front row watching the game, while Yang Rui returned to the commentary box.

Wizards starting lineup: Arenas, Laga Bell, Maggette, Marshall, Stoudemire.

Nets five: Kidd, Kittles, Stephen Jackson, Kenyon Martin, Eddy Curry.

Looking at the lineup, you know the two teams will attack.

Stoudemire took the lead and scored 4 points in a row, including an alley-oop dunk that got rid of Curry. Arenas and Stoudemire played a pick-and-roll and made a jump shot with one step.

The Nets quickly stabilized the situation under Kidd's organization, recovered the score, and performed well offensively.

Both sides are unable to defend, the Wizards' overall defense is slightly inferior, and Curry is the Nets' defensive vulnerability. In order to strengthen the offense, Lawrence will still reuse Curry.

Buckley started teasing. "Jerry, last season you led the Wizards to win by playing Curry, right? How do you evaluate his defense?"

Yang Rui laughed and said: "I think he definitely doesn't like to defend.

Because he doesn't even rebound. "

Barkley laughed: "How do I remember that you said Curry was pretty good in the playoffs?"

"Yes, when he is on the court, the Wizards generally perform well offensively." Yang Rui said with a smile: "Of course, Curry is not without his advantages. He can be a big killer on the offensive end."

Yang Rui didn't like Barkley very much as a player. He was difficult to control and had a lazy personality. But sitting together and explaining, the two of them are like Yu Boya meeting Zhong Ziqi, like mountains and rivers.

Yang Rui didn't think this would bring harm to Curry. From another perspective, the commentator pointed out the shortcomings. As long as this person is not timid and willing to correct himself, he will have higher achievements in the future.

As long as Curry is willing to lose weight, work hard on defense, and rely on his excellent physical talent, he can become an All-Star player. Now he has not yet reached his full potential.

Of course, it is not easy to successfully lose weight. Yang Rui has such an example...

In the second half of the first quarter, the Nets began to take the initiative.

Kidd and Martin play a pick-and-roll in the middle. Kidd can break through, and he can also split Martin in the middle to cut through and attack. From the side, Curry covers Kittles' movement and helps him get rid of catches and shots. The center can also make air cuts. Once Stoudemire is removed from the basket, the Wizards will be empty inside and unable to stop the Nets' offense.

The two big men of the Nets shot close to the basket, with a high hit rate, impact and weight.

Yang Rui also admitted that it was a fluke that the Wizards eliminated the Nets in the Eastern Conference Finals last season. Curry's weakness is on the defensive end. On the offensive end, he relies on his tonnage to cause headaches for many teams. Even if he competes with O'Neal in a one-on-one duel, he will not lose at all.

The Wizards trailed 24-29 at home in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, the Wizards bench was suppressed by the Nets, and the bench gangsters disappeared. On the offensive end, Wizards players frequently fell into singles and could not break the Nets' zone defense.

When the starters returned, Eddie Jordan arranged for Wesley and Maggette to increase their running positions to no avail, as the Wizards were unable to cooperate.

Barkley became more energetic as he watched, and asked with a smile: "Jerry, I think Eddie Jordan copied your tactics from last season, but the Wizards don't look strong. Can you tell me why?"

Yang Rui shrugged. "Do you really want me to say it? What if the Wizards make a big trade in the mid-term to make up for their weaknesses and become stronger? Ever since I started the lawsuit with Abel Paulin, I have been cursing the Wizards for not making the playoffs this season before I go to bed every night. , to help them point out their shortcomings, wouldn’t I have done a useless job?”

"As a commentator, you should analyze these things. This is our job." Kenny Smith couldn't stop laughing. He was really loud, saying whatever he wanted to say. He curses others openly and frankly, which makes people dislike him.

Barkley smiled and said: "Yes, otherwise you are not a qualified commentator. It is impossible for you to win the award."

"Okay, in order to win the award, I reluctantly analyze the situation of the Wizards. In fact, if the Wizards want to cooperate with each other, it is very simple. Just send Arenas away and bring Alston back. In addition, at the forward position, they need to sign A player who is good at supporting and playing as a point forward can copy my tactics. The most important thing in my offensive system is not the one who runs, but the one who passes the ball. Arenas has very strong personal ability, but his second The first choice is definitely to score.”

Yang Rui reluctantly disgusted the Wizards management.
