The Pope of Basketball Community

After Pat Riley and Yang Rui shook hands on the court, they returned to the locker room with grimaces.

Riley's most glorious days were with the Lakers. Now, watching the Lakers win the championship, he can only serve as the backdrop, and he is filled with emotion.

O'Neal hugged Yao Ming, congratulated him, and expressed sympathy for each other.

Kobe also said a few polite words to Wade, and both saw some embarrassment in the other person's eyes. Wade's statistics are very good, but he can't win the ball. Kobe wins, but this time he is not the protagonist on the court.

Zhang Lili sighed: "The Lakers swept the finals for two consecutive years. If it weren't for the Mavericks' outside explosion in that game, they would have won all the playoffs. This season the Lakers have an amazing record, 39 consecutive wins, and only lost 8 games in a single season. "

Yu Jia said: "Mo Williams' performance is surprising. It may be difficult for the Lakers to renew his contract this summer."

Zhang Lili said with a smile: "Kobe's performance in the last game was better than Yao Ming, but the overall data is Yao Ming's advantage. He ranks first in the team in shooting percentage, rebounds, points, and blocks. He has a high chance of being selected as the Finals MVP." , it’s time to witness history soon.”

Yu Jia also said excitedly: "O'Neal is at a disadvantage in the matchup with Yao Ming. The comparison shows his strength even more. I think the MVP is already guaranteed."

As expected, Yao Ming was elected the finals MVP and gave a happy speech.

Kobe smiled a little bitterly on the sidelines. He always hoped that he would be the protagonist of the team and did not want his teammates to steal his limelight.

He is a little disgusted with Yao Ming now, because many people say that Yao Ming is the number one center in the NBA, replacing O'Neal and the real leg of the Lakers.

In Yang Rui's previous life, many Yao Hei said that Yao Ming was not good, not because of Yao Ming's poor ability, but because he lacked personal honors and was not even selected for the best team. How could he prove that he was the number one center?

But if you look at the data, you will find that since 2005, the league has been unable to find a center who dares to say that he is definitely better than Yao Ming.

Dwight Howard is just a senior blue-collar player whose defense is better than his offense. During the 2007 selection, the league forced Stoudemire, a power forward, to be placed at the center position and was selected as a first-team center. Anyone who has watched Stoudemire play knows that his style of play has nothing to do with a center, and that year for the Suns, the center was Kurt Thomas.

It wasn't until the 2008-09 season that Yao Ming was completely surpassed by Howard in terms of statistics and record. In direct dialogue, Yao Ming could still completely defeat World of Warcraft. After all, the Magic entered the Finals that year, so it is correct to say that Howard is the number one center. In the days before, no one could stabilize Yao Ming.

Now Yao Ming is healthy and has two MVPs. Considering that O'Neal only has one championship and two MVPs, as long as the Lakers can win the championship next year, Yao Ming's historical status will definitely surpass O'Neal.

What all Chinese fans dare not imagine has actually happened.

O'Neal is certainly stronger than Yao Ming at his peak, but his teammates are much worse than Yao Ming. When both of them retire in the future, history will be ranked based on record.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Yao Ming suffered losses from his record, teammates, and coaches, and had a failed career. In this life, he will get a big deal in this regard.

At the post-game press conference, O'Neal admitted that Yao Ming is already the number one center in the league.

"I said to him on the court: 'You know what? Man, you are a monster, how do you practice your shooting?' It's so depressing that Yao can shoot from beyond the three-point line, nominally. I'm playing against him and I'm actually going to switch defenders most of the time, which is not fair."

O'Neal spoke to many people. Some power forwards expressed this emotion when facing Nowitzki. The German is 213cm tall, and there are at least some people who are about the same height as him. Yao Ming is now the tallest in the NBA.

Although Yao Ming, who mainly plays in the low post, is very good, his opponents can still defend him. Yao Ming's three-point shooting makes all opponents uncomfortable.

Yang Rui praised the players and made guarantees. "Next year, it's time to build a new Lakers dynasty, and we will definitely do it."

The media coverage after the game was even greater than last year.

After the Bulls, no team has been able to complete consecutive championships for many years. People are optimistic that the Lakers can win three consecutive championships. This summer, the Lakers have no core players who are free agents to maintain the integrity of the lineup.

The Chinese media has praised Yao Ming to the sky, believing that he is now a lock for the Hall of Fame and the top five centers in NBA history. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Russell, Chamberlain, and Olajuwon are incomparable, and no other center has more honors than the current Yao Ming.

Chinese fans completely regard the Lakers as China's home team, and the Lakers' peripheral products are the best-selling in China.

Last season, many retired celebrities were interviewed, saying that Yao Ming was a softie and could not compare with O'Neal. They said that the inside should play in the low post and dominate the basket. This season, these guys' faces were swollen and they all fell silent.

In many middle school basketball games, coaches start asking big men to practice shooting. Now, anyone who says that Yao Ming, Okur, and O'Neal are softies is crazy.

In fact, almost every inside star has a shooting range, and O'Neal is the real outlier.

After three days of rest, the Lakers held a championship parade in Los Angeles, which attracted a large number of fans. Yang Rui was in the limelight again. Nina and Stana were filming. He invited Scarlett Johansson to participate in the parade together, which was so eye-catching.

After a year of hard work, Scarlett has lost 3.8 pounds in weight and is still 160cm tall. Standing next to many basketball players, she is the shortest and roundest. She really stands out...

Scarlett didn't want to participate, but Yang Rui was worried that if this continued, the confident "widow sister" would be completely hopeless. Without the sister, she would be left a widow, which would not be of any benefit to the future, so he forced her to come out to meet people. If If she can ignore the opinions of others, she will live stronger.

In fact, she is not only strong, but also tough. It took her a year to practice Iron Tou Kung Fu...

In the evening, the two went to the championship party together. The players all brought their families, and many entertainment stars living in Los Angeles were invited to attend. It was very lively.

Yang Rui sang and danced until late at night, when Jeff Hornacek, who liked quietness, came to chat with him.

"Jerry, there's something I want to ask your opinion on."

"What's up?"

"The Warriors have invited me. Oakland is not far from Los Angeles. I want to give it a try, but it's a bad team and I'm afraid I won't be able to produce results. Do you feel there is a future there?" Hornacek smiled. .

He is a family man and does not want to leave California to develop. He has similar ideas to Yang Rui, so there are not many teams to choose from.

Before you know it, Hornacek already has three championship rings, and many rebuilding teams are interested in him. Because of the butterfly effect, the Warriors are different from Yang Rui's previous life. Nelson, who was supposed to be the head coach, has no interest in joining the Warriors because Baron Davis is not here, and Hornacek is already the first choice.

Yang Rui smiled and said: "The Warriors are not nearly as strong, but there is still room for improvement. If you go, you have to replace Francis and Murphy as soon as possible while they still have some value. It will be difficult to achieve results next season, so I suggest they fail. It's pretty easy to pick a high-draft rookie to rise, it just depends on what you think."

"Then I'll join. I'm sorry that you have to recruit a new coach in the summer." Being the head coach has been Hornacek's goal all along. Although the Warriors have a poor lineup, their salary space is pretty good. With the opportunity presented to him for two consecutive years, he didn't want to miss it again.

Yang Rui smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about me. Nowadays, it's hard for Lakers players to lose even if I don't arrange tactics."
