The Nets faced the defeat calmly and did not leave the court immediately, but shook hands with their opponents, congratulated them and left together.

Brad Stevens and Yang Rui hug. "Jerry, congratulations on your successful title defense."

"You're also excellent, and the future is yours." Yang Rui smiled and said the golden sentence.

This is not a compliment, he is really optimistic about Stevens, among the assistant coaches he has worked with, Stevens is the most flexible in mind, the most bold in employing people and adjusting tactics.

This is a genius, all kinds of tactics are memorized in his head, and he quickly stands out and becomes a master tactician. Tactics don't have to be original, learning tactics that suit the team from the video is the skill. All the coaches watched the video, but few were as creative as Stevens.

The Nets lost on the overall defense, and only Jimmy Butler and Favors could defend multiple positions, and once they came off the bench, there would inevitably be holes on the defensive end.

Yao Ming and Joe Johnson greeted Yang Rui before returning to the locker room. Yao Ming is an old friend, and Joe Johnson's motivation for taking the initiative to talk to Yang Rui is intriguing. He has never won a championship, and he will be a veteran when this big contract expires, and the Clippers are the first choice when considering joining a strong team and playing next to a good coach.

Delon didn't talk to Yang Rui, the Clippers' point guard is the MVP, and he has to be a substitute if he wants to join.

Reporter interview: "Jerry, this is the ninth championship ring you have received as a head coach, which has surpassed Auerbach, how do you feel at the moment?" ”

"I hope to catch up with Russell in the championship ring index next season, that's how I feel."

Russell didn't get 11 rings that year, and Stern later made it up for him. So technically speaking, it's just that Russell didn't get 11 rings when he was a player, and now he's recognized as the Lord of the Rings. Yang Rui plus the rings when he was an assistant coach, there are also ten, and he will catch up next season.

Yang Rui did not return to the locker room, chatting with his three girlfriends on the court, and Scarlett held her daughter Shirley for an interview with reporters. The scene was too noisy, and the two-year-old Shirley was crying a lot, which was very eye-catching.

None of the Clippers' players cried, and they didn't bring in a particularly championship-hungry veteran last summer and kept the core roster. The newcomers are all youngsters, and although they are all spectators in the finals, the team only uses 10 players in rotation, and they are very happy to get a ring.

Everyone wore championship hats, and the awards ceremony began, and Paul won the FMVP by averaging 18 points, 4 rebounds, 13.5 assists and 2 steals per game.

Although Paul also had a bad game, he was the most consistent person in the Clippers series, and he deserved to win the award. Curry and Green both played three games and two iron games; Griffin averaged 16+12 per game, scoring a bit less, and didn't show much on the defensive end.

After receiving the FMVP trophy, Paul took the microphone and said, "It's a team effort!" It's great to be with the Clippers and I think I'm very lucky to have great fans, great teammates, and a great city. I can't wait to go back to the dressing room and celebrate with my team-mates. Thanks to Jerry Young, he is the best coach in the world since the beginning of the sport of basketball. ”

Now the fans have not left the stadium and watched the award ceremony, and many people shouted "Jerry!" from the sidelines. ”

Jeff Van Gundy, who broadcast the game live, said: "This season, Jerry Young's influence has completely surpassed that of the stars in the team. This is an absolute first in NBA history. ”

Mike Brin said: "In the summer, Curry and Paul are free agents, and it is difficult for the Clippers to renew their contracts, keeping Curry and letting Paul go should be the Clippers' choice, and today Paul won the FMVP, and he has no regrets." ”

Paul listened to the cries on the sidelines, although some people called their names, but they were not as good as Yang Rui. He didn't hesitate anymore and knew it was time to leave.

He had success with the Clippers, but for Los Angeles he was just a passerby, and leaving with all the accolades here was the best ending for him.

Paul looked at Curry with some envy, and he had a hunch that Curry would get more honors with the Clippers in the future, as long as he didn't leave, he would have a better chance of becoming the league's No. 1 point guard in the future.

After the award ceremony was a press conference, Yang Rui casually said a few polite words perfunctory to the media, won too many championships, in the matter of winning the championship, he was worse than anyone else, and he had said it before.

When mentioning his opponent, Yang Rui said a few more words, because it was a Chinese reporter who interviewed him and asked him to evaluate Yao Ming.

Yang Rui said: "Obviously, Yao Ming is unhappy this time, I am 99% responsible, yes, I was wrong, I apologize here to the majority of Chinese fans, but I can't change it." ”

Yang Rui's ridicule will not make Chinese fans angry, but will only be funny, because the previous championship was won by Yang Rui and Yao Ming together. If you change the coach and say that, you will definitely be scolded.

After the press conference, Yang Rui immediately called everyone in the Clippers team, including the staff, to take a ride to the "Tranquility" yacht, and tonight's championship party was held on the yacht again.

The yacht is fully equipped with entertainment facilities, equipped with chefs, bartenders, DJs and other staff, so everyone can enjoy the party without any preparation.

Donald Sterling also brought his little girlfriend to the party, beaming with pride. In recent years, the Clippers have become one of the most profitable teams in the NBA, even if the Lakers signed Warner's huge broadcast rights, they were overwhelmed by the Clippers in Los Angeles, and their popularity has dropped by a large margin, and word of mouth is even more extreme.

Sterling and Old Bass have known each other since they were young, and they have been pressed by Old Bass all their lives in all aspects, which is simply the negative teaching material of Los Angeles, and now he has finally turned over.

Sterling, 79, who was still dying at a party, chatted with Yang Rui and said: "Everything is good here, but there are too many black people here today." ”

Yang Rui felt that even if others wanted to save the goods, they couldn't save it, he was a typical racist, and it wasn't a year or two to see black people who didn't like him, as long as others had the heart to fix him, he would have to plant himself in this area sooner or later.

The Clippers had a number of free agents in the summer, and Sterling was naturally well aware that he was a little unhappy when he heard that management was planning to let Paul go outright. "Paul just won the FMVP, his popularity is very high, it would be a pity if he just let it go, why not sign first and then change?"

"Because the Clippers have a strong roster now, there is no shortage of people in all positions, Paul renews his contract, the contract must be big, and the stars in exchange will not be able to improve the team too much, and it will take up a lot of salary space. There's no point in trading Paul for draft picks, and it's hard for the league to find a way to take multiple picks and sign them later. ”

"But that's a loss, isn't it? Let go of the MVP-level star for nothing. ”

"It's not a loss at all, because Curry will be stronger than Paul in the future, and there is no need for a team to sign two point guards with a maximum salary." Yang Rui smiled.

It can be annoying for a layman to be an insider, and he can stand it because he knows that Sterling has only been with the Clippers for about a year.

Yang Rui had already analyzed with the management that trading Paul was impossible. In his previous life, there was also a case of Kenyon Martin going to the Nuggets for three draft picks, and this deal did not happen in this life. Yang Rui didn't want to trade Paul for a star of average strength, resulting in a locked salary space, and he couldn't sign someone in the free market in 2014.

Next year is a critical juncture, signing free agents is great value, the contract is not big, once the players generally start to raise wages in 2015, there is no cheap to pick up.

Yang Rui did not renew Paul's contract, in addition to Curry, another important reason is for the 14-year free market.

If it works well, the Clippers will be strong until 2020, the only thing that is a little troublesome is that next season without Paul, the Clippers lineup will be slightly weaker, and it will be more difficult to win three consecutive championships.
