Jim O'Brien shook hands with Yang Rui with a gloomy face and turned his head away, unwilling to say a word.

O'Brien was brought back bad memories. During the 1997-2001 season, he was an assistant coach with the Celtics, who were slaughtered by the Raptors more than once, and Rick Pitino's departure was directly related to this. Now, it was his turn to lead the team to be abused, but the team led by Yang Rui became a wizard.

Know yourself and know your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles. On the contrary, it will definitely die a particularly miserable death. The Celtics also regarded the Wizards as the same team last season, studying how to deal with Jordan before the game, preparing to fight for the position, and the thinking was very wrong.

Last season, Wizards coach Doug Collins was too conservative. He has had a brilliant side, but more of a disgraceful side.

In the late 80s, the bulls under his command gradually declined, and immediately after his departure, he ushered in his own dynasty; In 1997, the Pistons under his coaching, the players on the team began to disobey his orders; Later, he took charge of the Wizards, but still failed to achieve anything with Jordan's return.

Yang Rui is different from Collins, he dares to use people, likes to attack, and arranges tactics for the purpose of breaking through the opponent's defense, thinking that offense is the best defense, and it is easy to break up the bad defensive team.

The coaching staff didn't let Haywood, Thomas, and Barnes make the squad in the opener because of their poor offense. The Wizards, who burst out with all their offensive power, stunned Jordan, who was out of the court early and watching the game on the sidelines.

Ross Barkley, who was in charge of commentating the game, was a little embarrassed, saying before the game that the two teams were about the same strength and could win, but the Celtics were beaten one-sidedly.

The Celtics had only three players in double figures, with Pierce scoring 12 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, and Walker 12 points and 9 rebounds, respectively, on 0-of-6 shooting and 1-of-6 shooting from beyond the three-point line.

Substitute point guard Shamond Williams scored 10 points and made 2-of-2 three-pointers.

The biggest gap was starting point guard Decke, who scored all eight points in the first quarter before dispelling out just two assists and grabbing a rebound.

Six of the Wizards scored in double figures, and four scored 20+.

Stoudamayre shot 8-of-12 from the field and 4-of-5 from the free-throw line, with 20 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist; Jordan shot 8-of-14 from the field and 5-of-5 from the free-throw line to finish with 21 points, 4 rebounds and 8 assists. Margeti was 6-of-14, 0-of-2 from three-point range and 10-of-10 from the free-throw line to finish with 22 points and six rebounds. Boozer finished with 21 points and 11 rebounds on 9-of-14 shooting and 3-of-4 from the free-throw line; Hamilton had 12 points and three assists, and Wesley had 10 points and four assists.

At the press conference, Jordan, who has always rarely commented on people, was in a good mood and said a lot.

"It's a miracle, and as soon as Jerry came, the Wizards changed. Last season we didn't know how to win at all, the attack was very bad. Today, we played such a game. I like the pace of the team right now. ”

The reporter interviewed Yang Rui and asked him to evaluate the team.

Yang Rui said: "The players did what the coaching staff asked before the game and played very well. The opening win was a morale boost, but it was a regular season game and we shouldn't be proud of it. It's going to be a tough season, Michael's knee doesn't allow him to do the same tricks as he did when he was younger, and I was shocked when he dunked in the first quarter. ”

The reporter asked: "Is his knee injury serious?" ”

'It's an old injury, he can play but you have to be careful. You know, he almost wore out his cartilage last season, he had three water draws, and the team doctor repaired his cartilage wear, so I'd love to see him finish the offense with a layup. ”

Immediately, a reporter followed the topic and asked: "Do you think Jordan's physical condition can play the whole season?" ”

Yang Rui smiled: "To be honest, I don't know. I told him, Michael, you're 40 years old, you're not the best player anymore, and even if you don't, your body will accept that first, so you have to listen to me, pass more, dunk less. As a result, everyone saw that he still likes to force himself. ”

The reporter asked: "You proposed to select the two rookies on the inside, and they played well today, do you have anything to say to them?" ”

"You guys played very well, and you deserve to be the person I fancied." Yang Rui smiled and boasted about it by the way.

The reporter asked: "Do you have anything to say about the Celtics?" ”

"The regular season is still long, good luck to them." Yang Rui kept a low profile and did not irritate his opponent.

This big win is because the Green Army's defense is too poor, the Wizards players are convulsive, and the team can't be so fierce every game, and this is still not the time to brag.

The Wizards made headlines in many media that night, and fans all knew that Yang Rui had created another miracle, changed teams, and still maintained the tradition of winning the opening game.

There was a lively discussion among fans on the Internet.

"If you win so easily against the Celtics, the Wizards will definitely make the playoffs."

"Who else says basketball coaches are useless? Let's take a look at what Jerry Young's rookie is up to. Without the Raptors, he can still develop super newcomers. ”

"It's interesting, in the past, Jordan led others to win the championship, and now it's finally someone else's turn to take Jordan once."

"The Wizards averaged just 92.8 points per game last season and are predicting to improve by more than 15 points this season."

Chinese fans have gone to great lengths to praise Yang Rui, with most believing him to be the top coach in the NBA, and judging from his annual salary, it seems only a matter of time before he becomes the best coach in NBA history.

At the same time, many Chinese fans regretted that Yang Rui failed to coach Yao Ming, and some people scolded Larry Brown on the Internet, which is useless, Brown cannot read Chinese, and North American fans did not scold him.

Yang Rui checked the online news at home and found that Yao Ming, like in his previous life, had just entered the NBA and was in trouble.

In the regular season, the Knicks defeated the Pistons 87-86 in the first game, but Yao Ming only played 11 minutes, made 0 of 1 shots, didn't score a point, and grabbed two rebounds.

This season, Grant Hill is back in good form, and "Madman" Sprewell finally chose to stay with the team.

The Knicks are also full of talent, including Yao Ming, Ben Wallace, Kurt Thomas, Ocella Hanington, Clarence Witherspoon, and all kinds of types.

The Knicks' only weakness remains point guards, and they don't have the salary space to bring in free agency reinforcements, so they can only rely on Howard Easley and Charlie Ward.

Yao Mingyi was not idle in the summer, stayed in the national team to train, warm up, play the Four Nations Invitational Tournament, and then compete in the World Championships. In 8 games of the World Championships, Yao Ming averaged 21 points, 9.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists and 1.8 blocks per game, and was finally selected for the best team.

However, Yao's excellent performances on the international stage failed to impress Larry Brown, as he missed the preseason and was familiar with his teammates. His English is not good enough, with an interpreter, who will pass him in this situation?

Brown paid attention to defense, and as soon as he saw that Yao Ming and Ben Wallace did not match their styles, he asked him to come off the bench. When the team needs to attack, Brown's first thought is also Hill and Sprewell, arranging outside tactics.

Many Chinese fans feel bad, Larry Brown, the coach who has coached the Nuggets since 76 years, has been focusing on outside players as the offensive core and interior defense, and has not brought out a precedent for interior stars at all.

Yang Rui read the news and comments, and also suspected that Yao Ming was going to be unlucky.
