Chapter 419 [The lawsuit is over, put on the air]

Yang Rui commented after the game: "The Wizards have a big problem on the defensive end. I don't think Maggette is suitable for starting. He is in good health, but his defensive awareness is average. If the opponent is a strong man, he can limit it, and the opponent is more technical. A big player, he can't guard him well."

Barkley asked: "Gerald Wallace played as a substitute small forward today. How do you evaluate his performance?"

"His offensive skills still need to be improved. He cannot become a star without improving his shooting. Staying in the Wizards is not a good thing for him. I suggest that he leave after his rookie contract expires. The Wizards currently do not have enough possession of the ball, so he can only attack fifth or even sixth option, which will affect his ceiling going forward."

In Yang Rui's previous life, Gerald Wallace joined the Bobcats and replaced Okafor as the "Elvis" starting in the 2006 season. He averaged a maximum of 19.4 points per game in a single season and was selected to the All-Star Game.

The reason why he can become an all-around forward is related to the fact that the Bobcats have too few offensive points. In the Wizards, he averaged less than 7 shots per game. He could not practice the offensive end at all, let alone play with confidence.

Last season, Yang Rui looked at the problem from the perspective of the team's performance and poached Wallace. Now he's starting to think from a player's perspective, so he points out a clear path, not trying to break up the Wizards.

At the post-match press conference, many reporters asked questions based on the commentary after watching the live broadcast on TNT.

Arenas became the focus, making 7 of 17 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 20 points, 2 rebounds, and 5 assists. Yang Rui said that he could become an All-Star, but he was not optimistic about him leading the team to win, implicitly saying that he was a cancer.

Arenas said angrily: "I just joined this team and it takes time to adapt. Jerry Young's words will not make me depressed, they will only become my motivation."

Stoudemire said bluntly. "I miss Richard very much. We cooperated very well, but unfortunately he has joined the Nuggets now. The new coach has just arrived, and I don't want to compare him with Jerry."

This is to save face for the coach. Looking at the honors, you know that there is no comparison between the two.

The reporter also interviewed Eddie Jordan and repeated some of Yang Rui's words about the Wizards and asked him to express his thoughts.

Eddie Jordan's face was dull, his eyes were blurred, and his expression was like a sledgehammer.

What he said made sense, and I was speechless.

The next day, many media made headlines the Wizards' opening game. They did not talk much about the game, but focused on Yang Rui's speech when receiving the ring and his evaluation of the Wizards.

The photo of Yang Rui smiling and showing off the ring is side by side with the photo of Abel Paulin frowning.

A sharp contrast. No one looked at Huicai to defend his title, because Yang Rui's predictions were always accurate and he almost never missed it.

ESPN also complained about Yang Rui. "He made a mistake. He signed a guest contract with TNT Radio. In other words, he is not a professional commentator at all, and his working hours are not fixed. No matter how good his commentary is, he is not qualified to participate in the selection of the best commentator. Best Sportscaster Award."

This became a joke on the Internet, with many fans laughing at Yang Rui for not even knowing common sense and being slapped in the face.

Every year in the NBA, players who have been eliminated from the regular season come to the TV station to be guests and commentate on the playoffs. There are also people who comment on international games during their vacations. How can these people judge awards?

On the 30th, Yang Rui made headlines again. His lawsuit with the Wizards was concluded.

Wizards owner Abel Pollin will pay Yang Rui's full remaining salary and 1 million in liquidated damages.

Paulin was not afraid to see Yang Rui become the guest commentator. But after investigation, he realized that if the lawsuit dragged on like this, he would not be able to spend Yang Rui's money. Not only would he have to pay the full amount, but he would also have to pay more compensation.

The longer the lawsuit drags on, it means that the contract execution time will be longer, and the defaulting party will have to pay more compensation. Since there is no hope of winning, of course, the loss must be stopped in time.

If it were a lawsuit against an ordinary coach, Paulin might be able to drag him to death. But Yang Rui’s lawyer was hired by Facebook. Once Paulin checked, he knew that he was not short of money at all, and it would be a suicide attempt to ruin the lawsuit.

Paulin felt like he was cheating now. Facebook was actually invested by Yang Rui. How could he still be a stupid basketball coach when he was so rich?

Another important reason for Paulin's compromise was that the alliance took action. There was a lot of trouble in the summer, and the Wizards' new season broadcasts and advertising were all affected. In addition, the tickets could not be sold. It was good not to lose money. Don't imagine making as much money as last season.

The Wizards' home court for the opening game was not full, and many Wizards fans online said they would rather watch TV at home.

Unfortunately, at this point, Paulin has given up and there is no room for recovery. All fans believed that it was his relationship that caused Yang Rui to be unable to coach in the new season. The Wizards not only offended a large number of fans, but also completely lost the Chinese market. Xue Yuyang also failed to join the Wizards. Some people thought it was because of the Wizards management.

This season, the Wizards' decline is a foregone conclusion!

On the 1st, Yang Ruiren was in Los Angeles, but refused to commentate on the Lakers' home game against the Suns.

The person in charge of TNT radio station was surprised, and the media was not sure what Yang Rui was thinking. He bought a house in Los Angeles. Many people speculated that he wanted to join the Lakers, but he was not interested in watching the Lakers game?

This is the cleverness of Yang Rui. Commenting on Lakers games now will not do him any good. Not commenting can avoid suspicion. The Lakers have nothing to say this season.

First of all, the Lakers are a bottom-heavy team. He took the initiative to join in and expressed his interest in joining. Then Buss will no longer have to be hungry for talents and look at luxury houses. This will not help him get more power from the management, nor will he be able to show his ability.

Secondly, Kobe is fighting a lawsuit. When commentating on the game, if he says a few nice things about Kobe, it may cause controversy. If a fan said that he supported the QJ suspect, wouldn't he be looking for trouble for himself? Before the judge pronounced Kobe not guilty, everyone wanted to stay away from this guy, including Phil Jackson, let alone him, an outsider?

He can't praise Kobe, and he can't criticize Kobe with a few words. If Barkley criticizes Kobe, it will be difficult for him to continue. If he joins the Lakers next season, Kobe may have a grudge, and fans may think he is too hypocritical.

As for "Zen Master" Jackson, Yang Rui also has a hard time evaluating him. There is no need to criticize him at all. There is no head coach in the league who is in a more embarrassing position than Jackson.

The Lakers are obviously starting to rebuild this season, but Jackson still has one year left on his contract. He has no reason to give up the last year of his high salary, so he continues to lead the team and has no chance of achieving results. If the team failed, Jackson couldn't afford to lose that person. Even if he wanted to fail, Kobe would not agree.

The most embarrassing thing is that even if Jackson tried his best, the Lakers would go straight to the lottery. In the end, it only proves that the Lakers are not bad, but really bad.

Yang Rui now has to stand up and wait. He knows very well that if they don't trade for a star, the Lakers will have no future at all in recent years. Kobe Bryant's two scoring champions will only lead the team to the first round of the playoffs. In 2004 and 2005, I am afraid that I will miss the playoffs.

Moreover, if Yang Ruiren lives in Los Angeles and Old Buss does not come to negotiate with him, but instead seeks Tomjanovich as a coach like in his previous life, then the title of "Best Boss" will be too watery.

Between a young three-time best coach award winner and a veteran coach who has been "beaten out" and has major health problems, all teams will choose Yang Rui. .
