The reporter brought the topic back to Griffin.

"Blake is the core of the interior next season, and I will arrange the strategy for him, and I think he will be selected as an All-Star in the new season, and the best rookie is also in the bag," Yang said. ”

Received high praise from the coach, Griffin smiled like a Japanese Shiba Inu on the side......

If Griffin has a serious expression and is a cool man, when he laughs, he will be worthy of the nickname "Silly Fen".

Yang Rui faced the reporter and gave Griffin advice. "He's got to practice shooting as much as he can, increase his range, and he's tough on the inside with a low shot, but it's easier to win with a three-point range."

Yang Rui is more optimistic about Griffin than everyone else, in his previous life, Griffin was able to cut 22.5 points, 12.1 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 0.8 steals and 0.5 blocks in his rookie season, shooting 50.6% from the field, 29.2% from three-point range, and shooting 7 three-pointers throughout the season.

Griffin can shoot right now, it's just inconsistent and has the potential to work well. In the '14-15 season, Griffin transitioned from a violent power forward to a mid-range shooter, shooting 37.8 percent from 16 feet to the three-point line and shooting a decent 40.4 percent.

Yang Rui believes that as long as Griffin focuses on shooting, he can make great progress next season. In his previous life, Griffin failed to meet a good coach, which led to a bit of a mispractice.

Winnie De Nagro was the head coach of the Clippers for three years, and his on-court adaptation and player rotation have been criticized by the media, always allowing Griffin and Paul to play freely. When his contract expired, Paul didn't want him to stay.

In this life, because of Thibodeau's early rise, De Nagro has not yet been an NBA head coach.

Griffin has been playing with talent for the first few seasons of his career, obviously a big forward, but the offense is a small forward, breaking through the strong attack with the frame, and squeezing the opponent away with his body, a bit like LeBron James.

If Griffin can partner with an interior player who is good at shooting, it would be fine to play like this, but he is partnered with Jordan Jr., a blue-collar who can't make free throws. This directly led to the Clippers not being able to reach the Western Conference Finals after Paul's arrival, because the opponent only needed to use 122 to win half of the defense, and the Clippers had to go to the basket to play efficiently inside.

To make matters worse, the Clippers have never had a decent wing defender, and Charon Butler was half-scrapped when he joined, and he would catch and shoot from the perimeter; Matt Barnes plays the starter and is not much better than Butler; The 15-16 season was even more outrageous, and Pierce was able to start when he was walking......

Yang Rui plans to practice Griffin like practicing Yao Ming, the mid-range shot must be accurate, at least the middle and the horns on both sides must be sure, and it is enough to practice only one point in the middle of the three-point line.

Griffin can definitely do a good job of passing the ball, and in Yang Rui's previous life, when Paul was injured, Griffin performed amazingly, winning a triple-double in a row.

Yang Rui didn't think about taking the initiative to recruit James, just because Griffin could do what James did, but the defense was almost there, and it was a weakened version.

Yang Rui also commented on others, positioning Curry as the sixth man, DeAndre Jordan can be an excellent defensive blue-collar player, and Korver, Novak, and Dunleavy are important three-point shooting points.

Reporters are very concerned about the derby between the Clippers and the Lakers, and Yang Rui said lightly: "The Lakers better pray that they don't meet the Clippers in the playoffs, because I won't be polite to them." ”

One reporter asked incredulously, "You mean...... Can the Clippers beat the Lakers this season? ”

"Of course, I don't think the Lakers have the quality to compete for a championship, and neither does the Cavaliers, and the combination of Wade, James, and Bosh is not as compatible as the Celtics Big Three. If they don't win the title in the future, I'm sorry for them. ”

The reporter asked, "How far do you think the Cavaliers can go?" ”

Yang Rui thought for a while and replied: "The competition in the East is weak, the Cavaliers should be able to enter the Finals easily, if other teams don't have big trades, they can reach the Finals for several years in a row, but they have no advantage in the face of the top four teams in the West, I think the Clippers can clean up the Cavaliers, no joke, I will prove it in the new season." ”

Yang Rui likes to pretend to be a god, and in his previous life, the Heat's Big Three played poorly in their first season, with only 58 wins, and the Bulls won the best record with 62 wins, and Derrick Rose also won the MVP.

In this life, Rose certainly has little chance of winning the MVP, Noah is with the Trail Blazers, Boozer is with the 76ers, and Maddy is with the Pistons. He teamed up with Brand and Artest, who were in serious decline, and he was not competitive.

The reporter asked, "Which team do you think the Clippers' biggest competitor is?" ”

"This season, it's just the Mavericks. The Spurs' small forward position has weakened and is nothing to fear. I think the Clippers can win a championship this season with a win over the Mavericks. ”

The reporters all felt that there was big news to write about, and Yang Rui didn't take the Cavaliers and Lakers seriously at all.

Yang Rui is not complimenting the Mavericks, but they are really strong.

Last season, the Mavericks sent Josh Howard in exchange for Tyshawn Prince from the Pistons. In the original time and space, they should have been exchanged for Caron Butler, but unfortunately Butler was injured in the middle of the game, so in the 2010-11 season, the Mavericks won the championship and did not play in the best team.

Because of the butterfly effect over the years, many teams have changed, the Pistons do not have Hamilton and need to strengthen their offense, and Prince is strong and weak offensively, which is not in line with the idea of rebuilding, so a trade was made.

The Pistons' idea was to bet that Howard would be back at the top, but the guy was clearly snorting marijuana and stupid, otherwise the Mavericks wouldn't have traded him. The Mavericks have no shortage of scorers, so they have few wings that can defend, and Prince is just right, so the Mavericks were very strong last season, but they lost to the Spurs.

This season, the Mavericks also brought in DeShawn Stevens, a defensive swingman who can be a pseudo-starter at the No. 2 position, with the Mavericks playing two-guard most of the time, Kidd defending the No. 2 position, and Terry and Barria being responsible for the offense.

The front line is Prince and Marion sharing playing time, and Marion can also make a cameo appearance in the No. 4 position to strengthen the defense of blocking and dismantling, such a defensive line can be called "impregnable" against the periphery, which can make up for the shortcomings of Marc Gasol's slow movement and poor defense and dismantling.

The Mavericks' interior line is the two major offensive players, Nowitzki and Gasol Jr., who can pull out to shoot and also respond to the offense.

Although the Mavericks only have Nowitzki as a big-name star, they have the first in the league in depth of the lineup, and Yang Rui is under a lot of pressure to see it, which is stronger than the Mavericks team that won the championship in the previous life.

In the previous life, the Mavericks traded with the Bobcats, in exchange for Tyson Chandler, who was stronger defensively than Gasol Jr., and the offense was not the same level as Gasol. It's hard to say which is stronger or weaker.

Rick Carlisle is a great coach, he is not a "Jerry system", but the way the team is built and the rotation lineup is similar to Yang Rui, and he is also a swing man in a large formation, trying to balance offense and defense.

That night, several of the largest media in North America published news together, and Yang Rui grabbed the headlines.

James is claiming to lead the Cavaliers to win 8 championships, Kobe Bryant also said that the Lakers' goal in the new season is to win the championship, and many media began to promote 23VS24 (James did not change his back number in the Cavaliers), but Yang Rui looked down on them and was optimistic about the Mavericks, which was surprising.

In the online discussion, fans pay more attention to the Clippers because Yang Rui is too crazy.

"Jerry Young made a reversal, saying that the new season will create an empty city, slaughter the Lakers, and the derby is about to start."

"Can Chris Paul win the regular season MVP? Becoming the new outside superstar? ”

"Jerry Young made a declaration of contending for the championship, and the most optimistic opponent is the Mavericks, expressing regret to the Lakers and the Cavaliers."

"Is the Pope of Basketball Hubris, or the Beginning of Another Miracle?"
