Chapter 613 [Taking Fire From the Bottom of the Cauldron and Retribution Will Be Inevitable]

Kobe was depressed because he failed to win the scoring title, but the top Kobe fans on the Internet were all crazy. They mocked Yang Rui even more and even scolded Kobe's teammates.

They felt that Kobe played at the same high level as always and failed to average more than 30 points per game because his teammates did not cooperate actively. Yang Rui did not arrange tactics to help Kobe perform. If Kobe was allowed to average 42 minutes per game, he would definitely surpass Wade.

What makes them even more amused is that after star Yang Rui complained before the game, he still continued to use Kobe and did not dare to let Kobe sit on the bench for a few games.

"I knew Jerry Young was cowardly. The Lakers would definitely not trade Kobe. Even if he wanted to use Kobe, the Lakers management would not agree. After this season, he left in despair. With luck, Kobe is still here. I can reward him with a championship."

"Didn't you say that Kobe is too independent? If you have the ability, you don't need Kobe. Can the Lakers win without Kobe?"

"Winning depends on the players. When did Jerry Young win a championship without a star under his command? He would hug the star's thigh and go up to fight if he had the ability. He would show off on the sidelines."

At these peaks, Komi never imagined that he was pushing his idol to the cliff. Not only coaches and players pay attention to online comments, but David Stern is also paying attention.

The third opportunity Yang Rui mentioned had been given up by Kobe. During the All-Star Weekend, Stern sent league officials to communicate with Kobe alone and persuaded him to take the initiative to apologize to Yang Rui and ease the relationship between the two parties. As a result, Kobe was very unhappy at the time, and then turned a deaf ear to Stern's warning.

Kobe's only asset that can make Yang Rui scruple is "father's love like a mountain", and Yang Rui wants to have a good relationship with Stern. Now Kobe doesn't even give face to his own father. No matter what Yang Rui does next, Stern will not stand up for Kobe.

The regular season rankings are confirmed, with the Mavericks ranking first in the Western Conference with 64 wins and the Lakers ranking second with 61 wins, giving up the top spot for the first time in five years.

The Denver Nuggets ranked third with 56 wins, causing quite an upset. Ranked 4-8 were the Spurs, Trail Blazers, Hornets, Warriors, and Jazz.

O'Neal's Suns were only ranked ninth. "Shark's" poor lateral movement destined him to be a big hole on the defensive end and he could no longer return to his peak. He also made it impossible for Nash to launch fast breaks freely, and his assists per game dropped to single digits.

The Grizzlies fell behind in the second half because of Baron Davis' injury, ranking only tenth. At that time, Davis was willing to cut his salary and renew his contract. The Grizzlies management was very happy and thought they had made a profit, but the reality was cruel.

After that came the Rockets, Timberwolves, Thunder, Kings, and Clippers.

Unfortunately, the Clippers became the worst team again, only winning 17 games in total.

The Eastern Cavaliers rank first in the league with 66 wins and 16 losses, followed by the Celtics, Magic, Hawks, Heat, Bulls, Knicks, and 76ers.

This season has been troubled for the Celtics. In February, Garnett sprained his right knee and left the game midway. This injury was devastating to Garnett. Although he briefly returned for four games in March, he ultimately failed due to The knee cannot support and the season is reimbursed, which will directly lead to the destruction of the Celtics' hopes of defending the championship.

On the day of the end of the regular season, Green Army manager Danny Ainge was rushed to the hospital for treatment due to a recurrence of heart disease. After undergoing a heart artery bypass surgery, Ainge finally recovered from the crisis. At the same time, he was told not to watch any basketball games to avoid being emotionally excited. Heart disease returns.

The Magic and Hawks have excellent records, both achieving 60 wins. Because of the relationship between the two sides, the Magic ranks third.

The biggest upset in the Eastern Conference is that the Raptors, who added Iverson, did not make the playoffs and only ranked tenth. The platinum double shot of Iverson and Carter failed again. Both of them had good statistics, but their perimeter defense was poor. It was so bad that Kirilenko couldn’t make up for it.

The Nuggets rose immediately after acquiring Billups, and the 76ers, led by Luol Deng, Andre Miller, and Dalembert, also got on the last train to the playoffs. All the Amys were silent. , something seems wrong.

The bottom team in the Eastern Conference is the Wizards, which is surprising.

Arenas suffered a serious knee injury this season and only played two games for the Wizards, averaging 13 points and 10 assists per game. For this data, the Wizards have to pay an annual salary of 20 million.

In terms of personal data, the Magic's Dwight Howard averaged 20.6 points, 13.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1 steal, and 2.9 blocks per game, and also won the block and rebound titles.

Hornets Chris Paul continues to lead in assists with 11 assists per game and leads in steals with 2.8 steals per game.

All teams took two days off to prepare for the playoffs. On the 16th, a big event happened in Los Angeles.

When Yang Rui reported the list of playoff players to the management, Kupchak, Jim Buss, Jeanie Buss and others were all shocked because he excluded Kobe from the playoff roster.

Kobe is neither sick nor injured. He is the Lakers' star with the highest commercial value. Of course, the management disagrees.

Bass jumped angrily, pointed at Yang Rui and asked: "Are you crazy? Just because he doesn't play according to your tactics, you have to do such a stupid thing? Have you thought about it for the team? For the fans? Have you considered it?"

"I've thought about it, I've been holding on for half a season, just waiting for this day." Yang Rui sneered: "You don't have to agree, but then I won't care about the playoffs, and Scott Brooks and Brad... Stevens will go with me, and you will probably have to find Kobe as your head coach."

Yang Rui convinced the coaching staff early that Brooks was leaving. The Thunder contacted him and hoped that he would become the head coach. Stevens could go to the Thunder as the first assistant coach. They were not afraid of falling out with the Lakers.

Little Bas immediately withered. "How could you..."

Yang Rui snorted and said coldly: "There is no way, even I can't control Kobe, let alone others. Now the Lakers have two paths, one is that Kobe doesn't play in the playoffs, and the other is that we all leave. You can choose Article 2: But I have always been known as a loudmouthed person with a sharp tongue, haven’t you forgotten? I will hold a press conference and say a lot of things.”

"What do you want to do?" Jenny Bass, who had been sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai watching the excitement, also took a breath and trembled in fright.

"Isn't what I said clear enough? As long as you dare to let Kobe play, I won't play anymore. If you want to litigate, I will accompany you. It's not that I look down on you. With the Bass family's wealth, I will try to die if I want to. I will bribe the media. , using Facebook to promote was Kobe and you who forced me to leave. Kobe refused to listen to tactical arrangements from beginning to end and was the biggest cancer in the NBA. I promise that from now on, Facebook will not report any positive news about the Lakers and will always smear it. How about until you sell the team? Start a war?"

Yang Rui raised his voice, not out of anger, but in this way to tell the three of them that there was no room for maneuver in this matter.

The consequences of starting a war are not something the Bass family can bear, it is too poisonous. Yang Rui has a championship, is rich and powerful, and does not have to be a basketball coach. Even if he quits this season, he will only lose one chance to compete for the championship. The Bass family will lose money and reputation.

The Buss family couldn't die together with Yang Rui, and why did they go to the point of death for Kobe and Yang Rui? Kobe is not the ancestor of the Buss family, and cleaning up Kobe is not about digging up their family's ancestral graves...

As an outsider, Kupchak felt chills running down his spine and remained silent. None of the 30 teams in the league can afford to offend Facebook. Obviously Yang Rui has made up his mind and no one can mediate.

If you don’t break out in silence, you will perish in silence.

Yang Rui has not had any major conflicts with others in recent years, and many people have forgotten his nature of retribution.
