The Pope of Basketball Community

Chapter 483 [China’s five best, the home team in my heart]

The trust that Heat players built last season has quietly collapsed.

The person who had the biggest objection to O'Neal was not Payton, but Eddie Jones. When he was with the Lakers, as an outside star with both offense and defense, the Lakers traded him for Glen Rice, who was strong in offense and weak in defense. O'Neal did not speak for him. Talked.

After cooperating with the Heat for the second time, they couldn't win, and the media always found Jones' fault. Now he feels tired and doesn't like it anymore.

Yang Rui originally thought highly of the Heat and hired Diop to prepare for the future, but after this game, the Heat may disintegrate early, so there is no need to be afraid.

On the Lakers side, Yao Ming became the focus of reporters' interviews. He kept a low profile and said that his good performance was due to luck and the help of his teammates. Was asked whether playing in the final quarter would gain points? Yao Ming said that he just followed the coach's arrangements.

Reporters also interviewed Yang Rui.

"Before the game, many media believed that your two teams were likely to meet in the finals, but now the Lakers have defeated the Heat. How do you evaluate the Heat?"

Yang Rui thought for a while and smiled: "Another day has passed, how are you doing? Is your dream farther away?"

Many people in the venue burst into laughter. The joker stabbed his opponent in the heart without saying a single curse word.

Of course he did it on purpose. The worse he degrades O'Neal's team, the faster Yao Ming will rise to the top, and the eyes of fans around the world will be attracted to Los Angeles and pay attention to the Lakers.

The reporter asked: "Many people say that you are O'Neal's nemesis. When you encounter a team with O'Neal as the core, you can always lead the team to victory. What do you think?"

"In addition to the 76ers, many teams are O'Neal's nemesis, right? After all, he won that one time in 2001. Sorry, I am not targeting O'Neal, but the record is here. It would be too much for me to praise his invincible dominance. It’s hypocritical.”

When Kobe Bryant heard Yang Rui's comment, his smile reached up to his ears. His mouth was as big as that of a running boy...

Kobe's idea is quite simple. He hates O'Neal. Anyone who satirizes O'Neal is his friend.

A male reporter in Miami couldn't stand it anymore and asked Yang Rui: "Although you have led many teams to achieve good results, some people question your low ideological level. You often say irresponsible things and mock your opponents. To rub salt into people's wounds, have you ever thought that this is bad and will cause harm to others?"

Yang Rui was stunned, narrowed his eyes, and said with a half-smile: "What this reporter said is very good. Sometimes I speak too casually. Here I apologize to the people who have been hurt by my words. It's not that I can't see it. I'm used to you, but I occasionally speak without thinking. The only people I can't stand and despise are those who find that they can't compare to others in terms of money, power, women, and all aspects of life, so they start to try to make a fuss about morality and the realm of life. People. Ask yourself, isn’t this just jealousy?”

"..." The male reporter who asked the question couldn't help but want to lean back, feeling that his heart had been stabbed hard. Doesn't this make it clear that he is talking about it?

He was sarcastic in person, but he didn't dare to get mad at Yang Rui. Although it was said that the media was the uncrowned king, a small reporter was like a bug in the eyes of the rich and could easily be crushed to death.

Yang Rui didn't say anything threatening, but it made people feel a lot of pressure because the status difference was so big.

Another reporter asked Yang Rui to comment on Yao Ming.

Yang Rui said: "I think there is no center in the current NBA who can be as comprehensive as Yao Ming. He has at least five abilities that can be called unique skills."

The reporters all listened attentively.

Yang Rui explained: "The first is free throws. As a center, his free throw shooting rate is more than 80%, which is better than many defenders; secondly, he has excellent shooting touch, his range reaches beyond the three-point line, and he can turn around and shoot with the ball. This makes it difficult for opponents to defend; third, he has very flexible steps and quick turns, so leaning against the opponent is an opportunity; fourth, his hook shot is very accurate and he is rarely blocked in the penalty area. Finally, his height can grab rebounds He has obvious advantages and can also block shots. These factors combined make him destined to be a super center."

The reporter asked: "Compared with the players' personal abilities,

Who do you think is better, O'Neal or Yao Ming? "

This is a trap question. If Yang Rui says that Yao Ming is better, the media can start complaining. Everyone has seen how powerful O'Neal is at his peak. It is still uncertain what the upper limit of Yao Ming is.

Yang Rui's pertinent answer: "Before O'Neal was 30 years old, I chose O'Neal, and now I choose Yao Ming. O'Neal relies too much on his body and low-post skills to play, and his shooting range is limited. His era has passed."

In Yang Rui's previous life, O'Neal, who won four championships, was deified by many people, and some people thought O'Neal was not that powerful.

When O'Neal was the boss of the Lakers, his teammates were not weak. He led the team independently, let alone win the championship. It would be good if he was not swept. Throughout his career, O'Neal was swept seven times.

O'Neal's offense is recognized as powerful, and he is very dominant in the low post, but without a record, he has no status. Karl Malone scores more, who would think Malone is among the top ten in history?

The next day the media reported on the game, and the whole world was touting the "drug combination". There were also news mentions of O'Neal, and various overestimation theories, which unfortunately became a negative example.

Chinese fans are almost crazy with joy. The number of fans watching the NBA has increased a lot this season.

Chinese fans don't like to see Chinese players serving as substitutes and marginal players in the NBA. Such games are not worth watching. Now Yao Ming has become a star in the Lakers. He has scored luxurious statistics twice, but it has a completely different meaning to show off against the Heat.

Many people feel that Yao Ming is already on top of the world, with only one championship left. Chinese fans are proud of it. Yao Ming proved that Chinese people can also play basketball well.

President David Stern is also very happy. The commercial value of the Los Angeles Lakers has further improved. Judging from the current situation, this season will definitely be more profitable than the Knicks.

The Knicks' record is too bad, and their good location is useless. The Lakers are the "home team" in the hearts of basketball fans around the world.

Yang Rui verbally suppressed O'Neal, but Stern was not angry at all. The moment O'Neal left the Lakers, Stern had already mentally marked his face. The league has given O'Neal less publicity. Even if it wants to praise him, it will have to wait until he is about to retire in the future to refresh his feelings.

Last season was a clear example. O'Neal lost to Ben Wallace in the Eastern Conference All-Star voting and played as a substitute in the Eastern Conference All-Star Game. There is nothing to praise for his big book, and his style of play is destined to have no future. Being able to become the top vote-getter is related to the league's deliberate disgust of O'Neal.

The league now has a highly touted choice, and the center position is waiting for Yao Ming to take over.

The Lakers defeated the Heat, and Kobe's popularity also increased, proving that the Lakers can't win the championship without Kobe.

Winning produced a butterfly effect. After this game, Phil Jackson, who was idle at home, began to take action.

It is impossible for a "Zen Master" to really stay at home and meditate for the rest of his life. He knew that he could never return to coach the Lakers, so he focused on the Knicks. He imitated Yang Rui and stayed in New York for vacation and sent himself to James Dolan.

The two met smoothly, and Jackson put forward his own conditions and was willing to coach the Knicks. In addition to a high salary, he also needed the rights to draft, trade and other rights, as well as the right to speak from the management.

To put it bluntly, Jackson wants the Knicks to drive away "Assassin" Isiah Thomas. If Thomas is still there, he will not wade into this muddy water, because he can see at a glance that Thomas is a retard.

Dolan needs time to think about it. No matter what, Yang Rui no longer has any resistance within the Lakers, laying a good foundation for the championship.
