Chapter 632 [Historical Status, Vacation Plan]

Yang Rui and Yao Ming are the most beautiful people this season, and there are reports about them from all over the world.

Yang Rui has earned his eighth championship ring in his career, and as a head coach seven, he has equaled Auerbach's ring index, and almost everyone considers him the No. 1 coach in NBA history.

The scariest thing is that he is only 35 years old this year, he is still very young, and many players have not retired at the age of 35.

Countless Los Angeles fans kept Yang Rui, hoping that he would continue to lead the Lakers to win the championship, even if Kobe Bryant was not pleasing to the eye, don't leave Los Angeles, and it would be good to coach the Clippers.

As for where to go next, Yang Rui is considering it and will not say anything for the time being.

Chinese fans mainly discuss Yao Ming's historical status, four championship rings, a regular season MVP, two finals MVP, and no active interior player is ahead of him, not only center, but also power forward.

Duncan currently has only two championships, one regular season MVP, and two Finals MVPs.

Olajuwon also won two championships, one regular season MVP, and two finals MVP. He won two MVPs and the best defensive player in the same season, which is the only one in history, but his championship count is not as high as Yao Ming, and his historical status cannot be ranked too high.

The other three centers O'Neal, Ewing, and Robinson all have only one championship, which means that Yao Ming's historical status is better than that of the four centers in the 90s.

Going back further, Chamberlain was a four-time regular season MVP, a Finals MVP, and two championships.

Although Chamberlain has the ability to surpass all his contemporaries, he has met the Celtics eight times in the playoffs, seven of which have been lost, and he has been defeated and defeated again and again, until he won the second championship after the Lakers teamed up with the logo man. As one of the greatest basketball superstars in history, it is an absolute shame to lead the team to lose to the same opponent 7 times, so he can't be ranked ahead of Yao Ming.

In the end, people came to the conclusion that only Abdul-Jabbar and Russell had more honors on the inside, ranking ahead of Yao Ming.

This makes Chinese fans very proud, even if Yao Ming retires directly after the expiration of his contract, his historical status is firmly in the top ten in the NBA and the top three in the center. There will be no strongmen catching up in the short term, and everyone knows that Howard is a blue-collar worker.

Kobe Bryant has more rings than Yao Ming, there are 5, but everyone doesn't know how to exclude his historical status, and he took the ring lying down this year.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Pippen had six championship rings, for a while, had a defense, a top small forward, but unfortunately his teammate was Jordan, he could only be a second-in-command, and no one thought that Pippen's historical status could be in the top ten in the league.

So the question is, without Pippen, Jordan has never won the championship, without Kobe, the Lakers have won all the playoffs, what role does Kobe play in the team?

On the Internet, the Komi have all disappeared, no one has come forward to whitewash their idols, and they will be ridiculed by the crowd as soon as they post.

Everyone in the Lakers is back in Los Angeles, and everyone is happy, except for Kobe.

The Lakers management was also embarrassed, they invited Kobe Bryant to the championship parade, the championship party, but Kobe did not want to participate, he did not know what expression to use to face his teammates, coaches, fans and media.

Let him laugh, he will certainly not laugh; If he participates in the championship parade with a stinky face, it will be more troublesome, and the reporter will definitely question, does he not want the Lakers to win the championship?

And according to the news, he was seriously injured in the knee, did he have to go to the parade and have to be on crutches?

In the end, Kobe Bryant did not attend the championship party and championship parade, which provided good material for the media, and news analysis Kobe Bryant is likely to jump out of his contract in the summer, become a free agent, and leave the Lakers.

Immediately after the parade, Lakers management had a meeting, and they all knew that the situation was very tough in the summer and that something had to be done to keep the Lakers in contention for a championship until next season.

Odom, Millsap, Posey, Dundee Jones, and James Jones are all out of contract for five champions. And with the exception of Millsap, all four were completely free men.

In the playoffs, Millsap averaged 14.4 points, 8 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game, shooting 52.3% from the field and grabbing 4 frontcourt rebounds per game. With this data, it is not surprising that there must be teams willing to poach people at a premium, bet on his potential, and offer an annual salary of tens of millions. Between Odom and Millsap, the Lakers can only keep one.

Millsap is younger and good at grabbing rebounds in the front court, which is suitable for partnering with Kobe, but his relationship with Kobe Bryant has gone wrong, and I am afraid he is reluctant to stay.

Odom is more well-rounded, but he is 30 years old this year, and his private life is a bit chaotic, and his form may decline at any time, and he needs to take risks to renew his contract.

In addition, Iguodala, who averaged 17+4+4 per game in the playoffs, is already a well-known star swingman in the league. He also has conflicts with Kobe Bryant on the ball, signed a long-term contract with a high salary last year, I don't know if I want to stay, if Kobe Bryant plays like that again next season, the locker room may not be clean.

The biggest headache for the management is the relationship between Kobe Bryant and Yao Ming.

Yao Ming's playoff is like this, if Kobe Bryant grabs the ball as soon as he comes back, plays like in previous seasons, and treats Yao Ming as the second master, even if Yao Ming is willing to sacrifice data, Chinese fans will not agree.

On the contrary, let Yao Ming be the first core of the team, and Kobe Bryant be the second leader, just like the OK combination period, Kobe Bryant will definitely not be happy.

If both of them have privileges, the role players probably want to go, and the regular season will definitely be like last season, and they will not be able to play statistics. With a championship, who wants to be a role player and take the blame for the star?

The Lakers seem to be beautiful, but in fact there are many contradictions, and they have to find a powerful swingman in the free market in the summer, otherwise the bench strength will drop a lot.

After the meeting, Jim Buss and Jeanie Buss had a rare idea of the same thing, preparing to put Kobe Bryant and Yao together in the summer, as long as they have a good relationship and the "drug combination" is not separated, the Lakers are a super strong team.

They all believe that without Yang Rui, the "drug combination" can lead the Lakers to compete for the championship next season, and it is not without a chance to establish a dynasty after Yao Ming's contract is renewed.

The Lakers have experienced the "OK combination" and don't want to give up a good situation to others because of star conflicts.

What will happen to the Lakers in the future, Yang Rui doesn't care, after the championship party, he greeted all the players and left, wishing them better and better in the future.

Immediately, many teams called Yang Rui's agent, John O'Connor, and expressed their willingness to offer him a record high salary to coach him, and the amount proposed was not at all like a coach's salary.

These team owners have found out that signing Yang Rui is equivalent to cooperating with Facebook, and it is too worth it to treat the money given to Yang Rui as advertising money.

Yang Rui said in an interview that he left the Lakers because it was too easy to win the championship, so many bad teams saw the hope of rising. Now Yang Rui is a golden signboard, as long as he joins, it is easy to poach players in the summer free market, killing two birds with one stone.

Afraid that the sincerity of the call was not enough, some people even organized a group to come to Los Angeles to meet Yang Rui, promising various benefits, which made Yang Rui impatient.

He wanted to join a bad team, but small cities were not on his radar at all.

For example, Michael Jordan's Bobcats, who seem to be less popular in Charlotte than the NCAA's North Carolina Blue Devils, how to break it?

He simply held a press conference in Los Angeles and made it clear that he would not be coaching any team next season.

"I'm going to take a year off, I don't want to work, I just want to play. My current plan is to take a tour of the Pacific Ocean and see the Mediterranean Sea aboard the Tranquility. Then I'm going to play golf, go to poker, maybe snooker, tennis. There is also eating everywhere and tasting local delicacies, on the premise of not making Scarlett fat back. ”
