Chapter 597 [Weird Remarks, Confusion About the Draft]
The Celtics are stronger than Yang Rui in his previous life. Delonte West averaged 10.8 points, 3.3 rebounds, 4.8 assists and 1.2 steals in the playoffs, shooting 42.3% from the field, 42.9% from three-point range, and 85.4% from the free throw line.
If Rajon Rondo is the starter for the Green Army, Yang Rui can free up the point guard on the outside and let the players deal with the Big Three. If the Greens use West, the Lakers won't be able to shrink their formation. The two giants can also shoot three-pointers. Pierce can attack with the ball. The Greens have no obvious weaknesses.
Holding two trophies in hand, Pierce declared domineeringly to the world: "Kobe is nothing, I am the number one in the world!"
At his peak, Komy angrily accused Pierce of being arrogant, but Kobe was really bad in this finals. His defensive efficiency was greatly reduced by Ray Allen, Tony Allen, and Garnett. He averaged 25.7 points, 4.7 rebounds and 5 assists per game, shooting 40.5% from the field, 32% from three-point range, 79.6% from free throws, and 3.8 turnovers.
Ray Allen, who was said to have a false reputation by Peak Comey, averaged 20.3 points, 5 rebounds and 2.5 assists per game, shooting 50.2% from the field and 52% from the three-point range.
The fans believe that the reason for Kobe's poor performance is that Kai Zi was too dirty, made various defensive moves, the referee was cheating, and others failed to give Kobe enough support. He only lost the game after playing 1 against 9 in every game.
In fact, the referees are very good. If it weren't for Joe Crawford, the Lakers would have lost 1-4 when their rookies were in a downturn. It was Crawford who defended the Lakers' last home court.
In Game 5, the Lakers led 34 to 14 in free throws. Hayes became famous in the first game. He only scored 12 points and 8 rebounds while guarding Garnett, but Crawford was the protagonist on the court, fully demonstrating the power of the old man. At home, The whistle was blown loudly.
Blow and blow, my pride is indulged, blowing and blowing will not destroy my pure garden, let the wind blow, let it be messy, destruction is my outlook at the end. Blow and blow, I'm not afraid of my bald head, blow and blow, it doesn't matter, disturb me, look at me smiling bravely, look at me waving bravely!
After the game, Yang Rui was interviewed and he felt calm: "If Yao Ming and Ellis were not absent, we would definitely win the championship. The Celtics did a better job in handling some key balls. Congratulations to them. Wait for next season. When we compete for the championship again, I will ask the players to be more careful and hope that we will no longer encounter injuries."
Yang Rui was disappointed with the players' performance and was too lazy to comment.
Eddie Jones's condition has declined too much. He is a liability when he comes out. He can't defend if he can't make a shot. Posey can't defend Pierce. The offensive end can only catch and shoot.
There are also Brooks and Lou Williams, two young players that Yang Rui loves and hates. They have an advantage in speed but their defense is too poor to allow them to play more.
The Lakers' inside line is the bright spot. The combination of Odom, Hayes, and Millsap still did not lose to the Green Army, ensuring the defense of the penalty area. Therefore, the Lakers were not slaughtered like Yang Rui in his previous life, losing at most 15 points in a game.
Therefore, the person who won the FMVP was Pierce, who averaged 21.8 points and 6.3 assists per game, not Garnett, who averaged 18.2 points, 13 rebounds and 3 assists.
As an inside man, Garnett's shooting percentage is only 42%, the lowest among the Big Three. He ranks first on the team in 17 shots per game, which is 3 times higher than Pierce and 5 times by Ray Allen, but he scores the least. He repeatedly competed with Hayes, who seemed to be the weakest, and obviously wanted to compete for FMVP, but failed.
The next day, many people on the Internet denounced Kobe, saying that he only hugged the giants' thighs, that he would no longer be able to do it after his inside strength declined, and that he was too independent and had poor shot selection.
Of course Comey doesn’t admit it. "What kind of ball are you passing? Even if you pass it to your teammates, they can't make a shot. Kobe's mistakes are helpless, and he's beaten because of double-teaming. If you say he's not good, if you're good, go for it. If he's not, you can't."
"I won't fuck, I'll just fuck."
The NBA season is over, and a vigorous feud is still going on, with all kinds of weird comments flooding the Internet.
Some people said that Kobe has surpassed Jordan. If Jordan leads this Lakers, they will never reach the finals.
You Kehei said the Lakers should trade Kobe.
The team is stronger without him because he is too independent and strong.
In Yang Rui's previous life, Phil Jackson, the three-time champion "Zen Master", requested to trade Eagle County criminal suspect Kobe Bryant but failed; now the Lakers have won three consecutive championships and Kobe Bryant's commercial value ranks first in the league. If the Lakers trade Kobe out at this time, the boss will not The Bass family is the Chinese "Elbow Family", right?
Kobe's biggest characteristic is that he is eye-catching. Regardless of whether he wins or loses, regardless of whether his statistics are good or bad, he can attract fans and is full of gimmicks. When Kobe is in good form, you can watch him soar in points. When he is in bad form, you can count his hits and see how low his shooting percentage is.
There are just as many people who love him as there are people who hate him. Unfortunately, Nike cannot use this advertising slogan for free now because it has been listed as a famous quote by Yang Rui.
Yang Rui had just rested for a few days, and the annual NBA draft came again on June 27.
2008 is recognized as a great year for the draft, and there are really a lot of capable rookies. In Yang Rui's previous life, many players in this year were selected for the All-Star Game, and the success rate was extremely high. There are people like Westbrook who created the miracle of averaging a triple-double per game, and there are more than ten high-quality insiders. In the second round, there are strong players such as DeAndre Jordan and Asik.
On the other hand, the fate of the top three rookies was rather tragic, and they were all scrapped.
Many teams failed last season and just to make a comeback in this draft, the Lakers only had the 29th pick. This position was extremely embarrassing. Yang Rui was confused and couldn't make up his mind on who to pick.
There are many strong players outside of the 20th place in the first round, but there are none when you drop to 29th place.
The most valuable player in the second round is an insider, but he has no immediate ability. Pekovic will not land in the NBA until 10 years, otherwise he will not fall to this position.
Because of his excellent physical fitness, Jordan was invited to the Green Room to participate in the draft. He sat until his face turned green and was not selected because he was too rough and had no offensive skills at all. He could only dunk; on the defensive end, he could only jump around. He can't block shots and can't defend alone. He was beaten one-on-one by all the insiders in the training camp.
Yang Rui will not select Jordan to the Lakers. His contract will expire next season. How can he have time to cultivate this guy?
Omer Asik, who looks a lot like "Edison", has a contract with the Turkish team Fenerbahce. He only joined the NBA in 2010, so he had to miss out on all three major insiders.
Even if there is an immediate center, Yang Rui does not want to sign one to threaten Yao Ming's status.
With the Lakers, Yang Rui's historical status has improved a lot, but he has no plans to renew his contract. After last season, he has understood that if he stays with the Lakers, he will no longer win the best coach award, and can only be a nanny for the "drug addicts".
David Stern will not target the Lakers, but he will target Yang Rui, because the personal honors he has received are too incredible.
Yang Rui always thinks about problems from the perspective of his own interests. If he wants to win the best coach again, he must go to a team with a poor record and complete a shocking counterattack. It will be difficult to wait for the Lakers to become a bad team and then rise again, and if the team is bad, he will also be responsible.
Point guard can't be selected either. There are already three young players on the team. If Chalmers and Dragic are selected, they will have to be trained.
After thinking about it, Yang Rui decided to select Donte Green as the 29th pick and DJ White as the second pick. Then he went to the summer league to brush up the data and try to replace him with immediate combat power. As for who to replace, it would depend on the departure of Lakers players.
This summer will test the operation of the Lakers management. Iguodala, Lou Williams, Ellis, Hayes, Jones, Crohill and others are all in contract years. The veterans will retire, and the young outsiders need high salaries. It will be difficult for even Hayes to keep him. His performance in the playoffs is eye-catching, and 80% of the teams will pay a premium to poach him.
Yang Rui wanted to win the championship in 2009 and leave with glory, which was very difficult.
