The Pope of Basketball Community

Chapter 536 [Towards the first place in history! 】

As soon as the whistle blew, everyone on the Lakers rushed onto the court to celebrate winning the championship.

Assistant coaches Hollins and Brooks were jumping up and down. They had just joined and got rings for the first time in their careers.

The ones who are relatively calm are Yang Rui and Hornacek. Both of them have experienced countless big scenes, and their way of celebrating is just a simple high-five.

Yao Ming first hugged veteran Divac, then walked to Yang Rui and gave him a bear hug that was not enough. He picked him up and spun him around three times. Yao Ming was so happy that he regarded Yang Rui as his savior. If he had stayed with the Knicks, he didn't dare to think about the consequences.

This scene was captured by countless cameramen. The height difference between the two was so hilarious that they looked like Lin Chiling hugging Guo Jingming. TNT Radio must have put them on the top five.

Kobe was happier than when he won the championship in the 2001 season. At that time, he was only the second in charge of the team and he was not the MVP. This time he averaged 31 points, 4.3 rebounds, 7 assists and 1.5 steals per game, shooting 50.2% from the field and 40% from the three-point range. Success. Was elected FMVP.

Yao Ming averaged 22.5 points, 11 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks per game, shooting 61.5% from the field and 35.7% from the three-point range. His statistics were not much worse than Kobe's. His efficiency was incredible, and he only averaged 32 minutes per game.

Even if Yao Ming does not win the MVP, his performance in the finals is enough to make Chinese fans happy for a whole summer. The two Chinese insiders who played in the NBA earlier than him failed to achieve good results and could only serve as substitutes.

Because of Yang Rui's butterfly effect, Ba Xinghao's fate changed. He did not get a championship ring on the Spurs bench. Yao Ming has now become the first player in China to win a ring, and as a core player, it has complete meaning. different.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Ba Xinghao and Sun Yue had amazing luck. They both won rings without making the playoff roster, while Yao Ming had nothing, which made people lament that things are unpredictable.

Phil Jackson, who is watching the game on TV, is under a lot of pressure. Yang Rui has already won the fifth championship ring in his career. He has led the team 4 times as a head coach and is almost catching up with him. He is steadily heading towards the "No. 1 Coach in History" !

Jackson lost the most due to the butterfly effect. He lost one ring with the Bulls in 1998, and two more rings were stolen from the Lakers by the Raptors in 2000 and 2002. Now he has a total of six championships as a coach, plus eight rings as a player. In Yang Rui's previous life, "Zen Master" won 13 rings in his career, ranking first in history, surpassing Russell's 11 rings.

Now, it is difficult for Jackson, who has no chance to return to the Lakers, to surpass Russell. His tactics must have stars to perform. Should he let Ben Wallace play the triangle offense?

Not long ago, Jackson and Jenny Buss broke up. Their union was mixed with interests. If Jackson does not return to the Lakers, the two have lost their common goal and are no longer in the same boat.

Jackson now suspects that joining the Knicks was a mistake. He has no confidence in leading the team to a championship and cannot figure out how to build a team as good as the Lakers.

Although Jackson had conflicts with Kobe, at least he still dared to watch TV. O'Neal didn't even dare to watch sports channels, and he didn't want to follow sports news online. He used to laugh at Kobe who couldn't do it without him, but now Kobe has completed a Grand Slam in a single season and slapped him hard in the face.

O'Neal's agency team has already started public relations, preparing to hype the reconciliation between O'Neal and Kobe. O'Neal was not forced to leave by Kobe, but wanted a high salary so he left the Lakers, etc., trying to use this method to reverse the image of being "slapped in the face".

The league will certainly support it, and Stern likes the drama of harmony and camaraderie.

O'Neal really looked down on Kobe, and Kobe looked down on him. In Yang Rui's previous life, when the two of them were older, they said they would forget their grudges when they met and smiled, which was just a way of saying that they stopped fighting, but they were still like that in their hearts. The situation is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. The conflict between them, to put it bluntly, is that they have inconsistent views and are not the same kind of people.

O'Neal looked down upon Kobe's persistence and competing for everything. Why do you want others to be like you? Chuunibyou? Kobe didn't like O'Neal's laziness. You fat guy doesn’t like basketball, you’re suffering from a minor illness.

You don't train well and laugh all day long. Do you put in half as much effort and effort as I do? Why are you the boss of the team if you are not as good as me?

Therefore, these two people will never really become friends.

After receiving the MVP trophy, Kobe gave a long speech, thanking his family, teammates, coaches, etc., nothing fancy.

Yang Rui's interview gave Lakers fans the most attractive pie. "Next I will lead the Lakers to build a dynasty, I promise!"

Originally after winning the championship, Odom considered going to other teams, but now he is a little hesitant.

He signed a six-year contract in 2003. If he didn't quit, it wouldn't expire until 2009. If you follow the Lakers and build a dynasty, it will be a brilliant career. He left in 2005. If by 2009 he fails to produce good data, fails to get a big contract and loses the opportunity to experience a dynasty, will he be angry to death by then?

Yang Rui shouted the dynasty slogan, and what attracted the most attention was not the fans, but the players. Kupchak and Buss realized this and were very grateful to Yang Rui, which saved the management a lot of trouble.

At the press conference, Yang Rui was very low-key. He only praised his team's players and did not use his venomous tongue to satirize his opponents. McGrady, Thibodeau and others used to be our own, and they deserve encouragement for reaching the finals.

The Bulls entered the finals, and Yang Rui's popularity also increased. Everyone knew that Thibodeau was his assistant, and he also led the top star Tracy McGrady to become an All-Star.

That night, the Lakers held a celebration party in Chicago. It was very lively and made the news the next day.

McGrady and Thibodeau also attended the party as the losing side and congratulated Kobe, Yang Rui and others.

Yang Rui was very curious about McGrady's back injury. Not only did he support him through the finals, he also averaged 28.4 points, 5.2 rebounds and 5 assists per game, and his shooting percentage was 45.1%, which was not inferior to Kobe.

McGrady smiled and said: "Because a Chinese medicine doctor gave me a massage. If there is an injury in the team, we all go there for conservative treatment. The doctor there also knows Chinese Kung Fu, which seems to be called Bucky Boxing."

If I go, I'll still tear the food apart. Where's Bucky? Are you hiding a Shichibukai in Chicago?

Yang Rui then realized that what he was talking about was "Bajiquan", but the pronunciation was not accurate. It is very famous in Chinese Kung Fu. It would not be surprising if someone knew this.

"If you can maintain this state, you will have a chance to win the championship in the future." Yang Rui is happy for McGrady. Now his fate in Chicago is much better.

As we all know, the Rockets' team doctor is a veterinarian. Francis, Yao Ming, and Tracy McGrady had several unsuccessful operations and were injured again and again. They have a lot to do with quack doctors. Of course, referring to Derrick Rose, Chicago doesn't seem to be very safe, if their team doctor has never been changed.

McGrady squinted his sleepy eyes and said lazily: "We will try to beat the Lakers next season."

The news reported on the Lakers party. Some Chicago fans expressed dissatisfaction and felt that McGrady seemed too arrogant when he attended the enemy's party. Others felt that McGrady's approach of being an opponent on the court and a friend off the court was good, like Artest's. If you can't beat someone and commit a flagrant foul, and you can't afford to lose, no one will invite you to the party.

McGrady's actions have increased his popularity among Chinese fans.

The most popular player is Yao Ming. The Chinese media has praised him to the sky. Many magazines have described him as "the best center in the NBA" and "the best center in the world".

The news also promoted Yao Ming's documentary, which will be released in the summer and is called "Yao Ming Years." It was released two years later than Yang Rui's previous life, and it will definitely be more exciting than Yao Ming's first year with the Rockets.
