Chapter 312 [East Decisive Battle Nets, It's Not Difficult to Get the Best]
As the experts expected, the Bulls didn't make any waves, losing four games in a row and being swept out by the Raptors. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Bulls head coach Floyd should also be out of class after this season, and the team's poor play is directly related to him, and many people see that he is not good at arranging a defensive system and only marks people.
In the tiebreaker, the Raptors scored 43 points in a single quarter in the third quarter, blowing up the Bulls' outside line, and Billups hit four three-pointers in a row. Floyd will only change players to defend and insist on man-marking.
In Yang Rui's previous life, Floyd was really called "magical", he coached the Bulls for four seasons, with a highest single-season win rate of 26%, ranking at the bottom every year, and the team's defense was a mess, but he could still do it.
If you change coaches in those years, as long as your brain is normal, with Brand, Artest, Curry, Crawford and others, the record will not be rotten like that.
In the two rounds of the Western Conference, the Lakers defeated the Mavericks 4-1, and the Kings eliminated the Spurs 4-1 and met in the division finals.
In another series in the East, the Nets played wonderful team basketball under the leadership of Kidd, eliminating the Pistons 4-1 to advance.
Stephen Jackson is not as good as Richard Jefferson for dunking, and is otherwise stronger. He got a workout when he was with the Knicks, and he played a good foundation and took on more tasks when he got to the Nets. Not only can he break through, catch and shoot, but he can also receive the ball on the perimeter for a second organization after Kidd has no good chance to break in.
In terms of statistics, although Jackson is not as good as the Pistons core Stackhouse, the defensive Stackhouse shooting rate is only 38%, which is lower than in the regular season.
Stackhouse averaged 26 points per game in the series and it wasn't a big deal, and it wouldn't be too much to say that he was an undercover agent for the team.
Nets shooting guard Corey "Mosquito" Kittels also suffered against Alan Houston, who is an excellent off-ball player and good at chasing defense, and the two are against each other.
Power forward Kenyon Martin has improved offensively and defensively after a season of training. The Nets' starting four, with the exception of center Eddie Curry, is not weak defensively.
Pistons coach Jeff Van Gundy made the same mistake as soon as it came to the key game, and he played the same style of play every game, and it was easy for opponents to come up with a way to crack it. The first two games were tied 1-1, and the Pistons were once favored, but they lost two home games in a row.
The Nets had a great record, but the unfortunate one was "Lone Wolf" Marbury, who immediately rose to prominence after he swapped Kidd. People ignore the injury problems that the Nets suffered last season and directly regard Marbury as the No. 1 cancer in the NBA.
The biggest beneficiary was head coach Byron Scott, who won the Coach of the Season award.
In Yang Rui's previous life, this season's honor belonged to Jim Carrey...... Oh no, it's Rick Carlisle's. Carlisle didn't get the chance to coach the Pistons in this life, went to the SuperSonics, and although the record was good, he couldn't get this award yet.
Pau Gasol, the Grizzlies' Spanish interior lineman, won the Rookie of the Year award, averaging 17.6 points, 8.9 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 2.1 blocks per game.
The Sixth Man of the Year went to the Pistons' Collis Williams, who averaged 13.6 points, 4.1 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game. Although the Raptors bench is powerful, they win more offensive points, and their individual statistics are not particularly outstanding.
The Most Improved Player award was won by Grizzlies point guard Byron Davis, who averaged 18.1 points, 4.3 rebounds and 8.2 assists per game this season, playing star statistics.
What surprised Yang the most was that Spurs' Tim Duncan won the Defensive Player of the Season.
Originally, this award was supposed to be Ben Wallace's, but the big man was at the bottom of the record in the Knicks, and there was really nothing to prove that he defended well except for the data. The Spurs have an outstanding record, and pseudo-fans can also see at a glance that Duncan is the core of the defense.
In Yang Rui's previous life, many people said that the league owed Duncan one of the best defensive players, and the defense was excellent until the season of his retirement. No way, this award is selected by reporters, and the person who is most impressed is generally selected. Without Big Ben, Garnett's record and team defensive statistics are not as good as Duncan's, so he can only be given to him.
The All-Defensive Team hasn't changed much, it's all acquaintances. Bruce Bowen was named to the second team again after joining the Spurs, and Christie was also selected in a row.
The best player of the regular season was obtained by "Big Shark" O'Neal, and his statistics have dropped compared with the previous two seasons, but he is still at the monster level, averaging 27.5 points, 11.2 rebounds, 3 assists, 0.6 steals and 2 blocks per game, shooting 57.9% from the field and 55.5% from the free throw line.
O'Neill finally breathed a sigh of relief that he was not an outlier among the four centers.
In Yang Rui's previous life, O'Neal habitually stayed in the regular season after 2000, and Kobe Bryant thought he was lazy, which was also a reason for the conflict. As a result, O'Neill has been very diligent in the past two years, and he insists on playing with an injury to his toe now, in order to get personal honors.
If Carter hadn't played only 60 games in the regular season, O'Neal would still have struggled to win this season. Carter is particularly sorry for this, and of course he would like to win the Player of the Year honor a few more times.
Despite his small appearances, Carter was still selected for the All-Match team, which is an affirmation.
All-Team First Team: Jason Kidd, Kobe, Carter, Duncan, O'Neal.
Second team: Iverson, Maddy, Garnett, Webb, O'Neal Jr.
Three: Nash, Payton, Pierce, Nowitzki, Mutombo.
During the break, Yang Rui and all the members watched the fifth game of the Nets VS Pistons together, studied the opponent's playing style and weaknesses, and finally decided on tactics, giving up joint defense, marking people on the defensive end, and blocking and dismantling on the offensive end.
The Nets won the game, not because of the core Kidd's inexplicable personal ability and ability to turn decay into magic, but because of the strength of all positions.
To deal with such a balanced offensive and defensive team, you must be patient, in addition to watching the performance of the stars, but also to see the coach's on-the-spot response to see who makes mistakes first. Yang Rui's plan is to start the game and grind the Nets, as long as they don't fall behind, they can be crushed by bench depth.
The media promoted the game, and it was thought that Byron Scott and Yang Rui, who had just been voted the best coach, would be a big attraction.
Yang Rui watched the news and was quite disdainful, not thinking that Scott could be compared to himself.
In his previous life, countless examples proved that Scott's coaching level was actually very average, and he was only lucky to meet the opportunity to coach a super point guard twice, plus the team had a good roster depth, so he played a good record.
Jason Kidd and Chris Paul are both particularly good at controlling the situation, leading the team's offense, and acting like coaches on the court. And in the days when there was no super point guard, Scott couldn't even lead the team to the playoffs. He has a terrible ability to adapt on the spot, often in a daze on the sidelines, or inexplicably making substitutions.
After 2010, he led the team for 5 years, tossing and turning between the Cavaliers and the Lakers, with a single-season winning rate of 31.8%, the bottom of the league in four seasons, and no one dared to use him after 2016.
What Scott is best at is leading the team to pick the top pick, and when he coached the Cavaliers, the other teams were rubbish.
Yang Rui also thought about the future. Scott won't have another chance to coach the Hornets and Paul in the future, right? If only this guy could mix the best coach twice...... He had to take at least five or more to serve the crowd.
As long as you coach a team with enough depth and a significant improvement from last season's record, it is really not difficult to win the best coach.
