The team's regular season record is the first, but it has been questioned by countless people when it reaches the second round of the playoffs, Van Gundy's hair falls out faster than Yang Rui's previous life, and wrinkles appear earlier. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

He seriously discussed countermeasures with the assistant coach and decided to let Ewing and Johnson play separately, Johnson went to the second quarter to bring the bench, and Oakley returned to the starting lineup, strengthened defense, and rebounded more securely.

In addition, the frontcourt pressed to send a double guard, and in the second quarter, he also accelerated the offensive tempo to counterattack, Ben Wallace controlled the rebound, and the others went down quickly.

Only Chaggie Atkins continued to sit on the bench and did not have a chance to play, only to blame his name for not being good, and the cup could be filled with a "Chakey".

After arranging the tactics, Van Gundy didn't feel good in his heart, this was also the tactic that Yang Rui had played in the Knicks before. He knew very well that if he didn't, the Knicks would have to go home.

In the second game, probably the players wanted to reflect the gorgeous style of play and let more businesses see the commercial value, so they played a little casually after the opening.

Carter opened with a difficult 360-degree turn and layup and didn't score. It was a beautiful goal, but no matter how beautiful it was, it was two points. As a coach, you don't want players to play like that in key games.

Billups was equally resolute, taking four shots against Ward and hitting just one.

After Oakley started, the Knicks were stronger defensively, but weaker offensively. The score was close in the first quarter, 19-18.

In the second quarter, Yang Rui sent a substitute to run again, and the Knicks changed formations.

Ward, who had a six-minute break, returned to the field with Childs, with strikers Sprewell and Johnson guaranteeing the attack, and center Ben Wallace.

The Knicks' small lineup prevented the Raptors' quick counterattack, and the Knicks also took advantage of Miller's slow defense and played two counterattacks.

Sprewell came out of his way, grabbed three three-pointers, and scored 11 points in 4 minutes past Maddy, leading the team to a 19-4 attack wave and opening the score in one go.

The Knicks have people who can run, and there is more than one, if Yang Rui is the head coach of the Knicks, with a more terrifying lineup configuration than last season, super defense, he will definitely easily achieve more than 40 wins.

In the face of adversity, Van Gundy was cornered and forced to try something he didn't like, with amazing results. The home fans didn't expect that the Knicks could also play a sharp fast break!

In the second half, the Raptors sent an offensive lineup, and they couldn't take advantage of the Knicks defense, only Ewing was a little slower to switch defenses when he was there.

In Yang Rui's previous life, a big reason why the Knicks were able to create the Black Eight Miracle was that without Ewing, the defense was stronger. Substitute interior players Camby and Cote Thomas are both good at blocking and pick-and-roll. Now Ben Wallace and Oakley are a duo and the defense is even better.

In the final quarter, Van Gundy used two guards to defend against the Raptors' running and bombing, withstood the counterattack, and waited for the starters to come back and maintain the advantage to the end.

97-108, the Raptors lost away, and the overall score was 1-1.

Yang Rui was not depressed, saying that the advantage was already on the side of the Raptors and he had completed the set task. That night, the group flew back to Toronto to prepare for the home game.

In the 1998-99 regular season, the major awards were released one after another, and Yang Rui successfully won the best coach, thus creating a historical record and becoming the youngest NBA best coach in history, only a month short of 25 years old.

Yang Rui received the award in Toronto and held a press conference.

He said: "I am the luckiest head coach, I first joined the Knicks, and then I got the opportunity to coach the Raptors, the Raptors have a lot of potential players, and I believe that even if other coaches come to coach, as long as they don't deliberately make things difficult for them, they can play a good record." ”

The reporter asked: "But the players feel that you have tapped their potential, and they are very grateful to you." ”

Yang Rui smiled: "That's because they have potential to tap, such as Carter and Maddie, are their physical conditions inferior to Jordan?" I don't think it's bad. They raised the morale of the whole team with passion. Billups also has a lot of qualities, great shooting, he's physical, and if he works hard, I think one day he'll be one of the best defenders at the No. 1 position. ”

The reporter asked: "You are one of the few coaches who will hang out with the players and eat together on the away side, which has caused some controversy, what do you think?" ”

"That's right, we have a good relationship, we're friends. In addition to going to nightclubs and eating junk food, we can all be together. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. With more communication, everyone can say anything, even if there is a conflict, it can be solved immediately. It was good communication that made the Raptors have a successful season. ”

The reporter asked: "Maddie won the best sixth man, and also won the most improved player award at the same time, many people say that his strength is not inferior to Carter, what do you think?" ”

Just yesterday, Maddie won the Best Sixth Man and Most Improved Awards.

The sixth man is second in the list of point guard Darrell Armstrong, the stats are beautiful enough, but the defensive end is a black hole, unlike Maddy, who has been affirmed both offensively and defensively.

O'Neal Jr.'s progress is obviously from a low starting point, and Maddie has gone from being a blue-collar worker to being the team's second-in-command, and the judges finally decided to give him both awards for the first time in history.

Maddie laughed all day after getting the news, and was asked for a treat by her teammates, which may be the reason why she didn't play well at night.

'They're all outstanding, having Maddie off the bench for a better offense, both of them getting more balls, they didn't disappoint me, they didn't disappoint the fans. They deserve to be awarded. ”

In the regular season MVP rankings, Carter ranked fourth in the league, successfully won the best rookie, and was unanimously elected, and the Raptors had a bumper harvest of honors this season.

The MVP was Jazz veteran Karl Malone.

Although the Spurs and Trail Blazers have better records, their lineups are better than the Jazz. It is a miracle that Malone can lead this aging Jazz team to play the third record in the West, and the two are really old, the data are ordinary role players, and the defensive confrontation also suffers.

The Defensive Player of the Year went to Alonzo Mourning of the Heat, who did not make the famous Thunder speech as Yang Rui did in his previous life because the Heat did not meet the Knicks in the first round.

In the series against the Pacers, the Heat led 2-0, and Mourning was in a very happy mood and said good things.

In addition to that, Carter was named to the All-NBA team for a while, squeezing Jason Kidd out for a while. The other four are Iverson, Duncan, Malone, and Mourning.

Second team: Ewing, Webb, Grant Hill, Kidd, Payton.

Three: Tim Hardaway, Reggie Miller, Kobe, Garnett, O'Neal.

Carter reached this feat in his rookie season, largely because of his popularity, which was highly praised by the league, such as Olajuwon, McDyes, and Barkley, who were not selected to the third team.

The best defensive team has nothing to do with the Raptors, that is, those people in Yang Rui's previous life, and it will not be Christie's turn before Pippen and Payton are old. The best defensive team also depends on fame, and it is difficult for an offensive team like the Raptors to win awards.
