The Pope of Basketball Community

When the media reported on the NBA All-Star Game, the topic was all about Yao Ming, who overshadowed his teammate Kobe Bryant.

He is the player who was most chased and intercepted by reporters during the Star Weekend. From this point of view, the NBA's number one center is no longer O'Neal. When faced with reporters' questions, Yao Ming can answer directly in English, and he has a bit of an American flavor.

People discovered that Yao Ming's helpless naivety in the first two years disappeared, and instead, he became a meme...

According to "Global" magazine, Yao Ming's embarrassing face is very popular on Facebook and Minions, and has become a daily chat expression among netizens.

Of course, not everyone likes Yao Ming. Even in China, there are a group of "Yao blacks".

During the star voting, there was a group of idiotic racists who said that Yao Ming's votes were all voted by Chinese people, and that he was able to achieve star statistics because Yang Rui and he are both Chinese and take care of their compatriots. In fact, he is not that powerful.

After the All-Star game, these people popped up on the Internet again, questioning Yang Rui for helping Yao Ming brush up his statistics.

At the press conference, reporters asked Yang Rui this question.

Yang Rui thought for a while and said with a smile: "I think this is too normal. Loser will naturally feel resentment in his heart when facing people who have a better life and better abilities than him. As long as it is a stone, it will not shine anywhere. , they can hide in the dark and blackmail successful people. Are there more people who support Yao Ming? Or are there more people who support Stone? It’s clear at a glance, right?”

The reporter who asked the question was stunned, and many people at the scene were dumbfounded.

The artillery firepower of this map is too strong and the coverage area is too large. It is clearly calling Yao Hei and others trash.

Another reporter asked: "There are also many people on the Internet who hate you. Do you think these people are also losers? As we all know, you are not very popular in the coaching circle. Almost all old coaches don't like you."

This reporter wants to stir up trouble. If Yang Rui continues to act arrogantly, he will create big news and further offend the old-school coach.

Yang Rui thought for five seconds and said word by word: "Love me or hate me, one of the two must be like this. It has always been like this. Some people hate my game and my arrogance; they hate my coaching style. The desire to win; hate that I am the youngest coach, hate that I have won multiple championships. Hate, hate with all your heart. However, there are many people who love me deeply, and the reasons are the same as those who hate me."

Yang Rui seriously plagiarized the classic Nike advertisement slogan of Kobe Bryant in his previous life, with only a few changes.

I have to say that this statement was very pretentious, and many people at the venue gave Yang Rui applause. In his own way, he left an indelible memory for the fans.

That night, everyone on the Lakers returned to Los Angeles and had to face the Celtics the next day.

This was a simple game. The Lakers' three major insiders showed off their power together, completely defeating the combination of LaFrentz and Mark Blount. One of these two had a super bad contract, and the other was not even a marginal player in the Raptors back then.

The Celtics' more promising center is Al Jefferson, who is just a rookie now, with strong offense and weak defense.

Because of the huge disparity in strength, Odom was also selected as one of TNT's "Top Five". In the second half, LaFrentz caught the ball and dunked with both hands under the basket. Odom looked at him from behind and didn't defend. He smiled like him. Like a mentally retarded child, he just happened to be caught on camera.

On the 23rd, the Lakers challenged the Trail Blazers in back-to-back away games.

This is a very tough schedule, especially for the two stars who participated in the star game, which is quite devilish because there are games for three consecutive days.

Yang Rui was worried that Yao Ming's physical strength was too much, so he asked him to stop playing without going to the away game. The Lakers didn't need the strongest lineup to deal with the underdog Trail Blazers.

The result was as Yang Rui expected. Rasheed, Odom, and Diaw suppressed the Blazers inside, winning 122-81.

The Trail Blazers are currently 13th in the Western Conference, only better than the Hornets and Jazz. The other two teams have players suffering from injuries, and the Trail Blazers are really bad.

Zach Randolph was blocked by Rasheed, making 5 of 15 shots and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 12 points, 9 rebounds and 2 assists.

Rashid cooperated with his teammates, shooting and cutting, making 15 of 28 shots, 3 of 6 three-pointers, 3 of 3 free throws, scoring 36 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.

Yang Rui asked his teammates to help Rasheed perform. He is also a person who can score star statistics.

Kobe also showed his strengths, playing three games in a row, with no physical problems, scoring 31 points and 6 assists.

The Trail Blazers are dying, and their reconstruction is not complete. They rely entirely on "Little Flying Squirrel" Damon Stoudamire and Randolph to win. The little flying squirrel was the first player to miss Yang Rui. Now he is even worse than Camby and is almost forgotten by people.

On February 25, the Lakers finally lost, losing to the Pistons 101-110 in an away game.

The key to the Pistons' win is small forward Tayshaun Prince. He has improved every season since he entered the league. He was just a defensive blue-collar player at the beginning, and now he is an unstoppable starter at the Pistons' small forward position. Maggette can only Can be his substitute.

Prince played 39 minutes, making 10 of 15 shots, 2 of 3 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 26 points, 4 rebounds, and 1 assist. On the defensive end, he was responsible for guarding Kobe, and his effect was obvious. Kobe made 6 of 18 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, and 7 of 7 free throws. He only had 20 points, 4 rebounds, 11 assists, and 6 turnovers.

Kobe's biggest headache is players like Prince who are tall and have long arms. They move very fast and are aggressive in pursuit. They can always rely on their long arms to interfere with shooting. Even a fadeaway jumper may be blocked.

Okur, Milicic, Houston, and Maggette also scored in double figures and performed well on both offense and defense.

The Pistons' lineup is quite deep, and Maggette, McDyess, and Arroyo are also on the bench to lead the offense.

Van Gundy's current coaching ability impresses Yang Rui. The Pistons' only weakness is the point guard. Bob Sura is the starter. His defense and shooting are poor, but he is more comprehensive.

The Pistons are currently ranked third in the Eastern Conference and have a chance to improve further because Houston was sidelined for a month due to injury.

The Lakers lost their fifth game, with a total record of 48 wins and 5 losses, and 29 wins in the regular season. As long as the stars are not seriously injured, everyone believes that the Lakers can win 70 games and set a new team record.

Prior to this, the Lakers' best record in history was 69 wins and 13 losses in the 1971-72 season.

The Lakers are also expected to hit the league's best record of 74 wins and 8 losses created by the Raptors. The media naturally praised Yang Rui. No coach in NBA history has led his team to 70 regular season wins twice.

Online fans discuss and predict regular season awards, believing that the Lakers will win a lot of honors.

MVP Kobe Bryant, Most Improved Yao Ming, and Best Sixth Man Odom are all vying for it. The best coach is no longer in suspense.

"Jerry Young was really born to break records. If the Lakers break records, he will be the god of basketball."

"God is no longer interested in possessing players to play games. It's too tiring. Haven't you noticed yet? God has been sitting on the sidelines when the Lakers play."

"Rich, talented, and extremely venomous, people like Jerry Yang exist simply to undermine the confidence of mortals."

"If the Lakers win the championship this season, it is recommended that Jerry Young retires after the season and just do something else. Stop being a basketball coach. He has made the NBA boring. The game lacks competition and passion."

David Stern feels incredible now. Kobe has scored 84 points, Yao Ming has 50+10, and Yang Rui can still steal a lot of their limelight. In NBA history, no coach is as popular as Yang Rui. kind of degree.

From some perspectives, he is already the number one coach in history.
