Chapter 889 [The Strongest in History, Retreating Bravely from the Rapids]

In this finals, the star duel between the two sides made fans addicted.

Curry averaged 28.1 points, 4 rebounds, 6.7 assists and 2 steals per game while shooting 44.3% from the field, 41.9% from three-point range and 90% from the free throw line. His shooting percentage is a little lower than in the regular season, which is not a perfect performance, but it is not comparable to other point guards.

Durant performed better than Curry, averaging 32.2 points, 8 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game, shooting 51.5% from the field, 43% from three-point range, and 92.7% from the free throw line.

Many people believe that this time the Wizards star played well, and it was Yang Rui who defeated Thibodeau. In the tie-break, the role of the coach is more crucial.

Yang Rui rotated players and arranged tactics with ease, and all 13 players played and played a role throughout the series.

On the Wizards' side, there are only 8 people in the main rotation, and there are 10 people in the rotation, and Jennings and Masimmy only play about 8 minutes per game on average.

Jennings couldn't hold up the wall in the mud, and after entering the finals and the regular season, he averaged only 1.3 points and 1 assist per game, shooting 37.8% from the field, and even worse from three-point range, shooting 1 of 10 in total. By the end of the season, he was almost out of work.

Los Angeles fans stayed to watch the awards ceremony, the atmosphere was very frenetic, after six consecutive championships, the Clippers are already recognized as the strongest team in history, who wouldn't want to be a part of this historic moment?

Yang Rui shook hands with President Adam Silva, and when he saw this guy with glasses, squinting eyes, and smiling like a profiteer, he suddenly felt a little empty and bored in his heart.

When Silva took office, he repeatedly said that he was committed to building a more competitive and fair alliance, but in recent years, he has shown himself to be a pure businessman, and he will not hesitate to manipulate the game in order to make money.

Someone on the Internet described it as a ghost, wandering everywhere on the playoff field.

As long as fans watch the game carefully, they will find that when entering the playoffs, there is no whistle for teams without big-name stars.

In this finals, whenever a team is about to widen the gap, a few scattered whistles will always bring the game back to normal and make the two teams more anxious.

This is Silva's NBA, and the power of referees has never been stronger. His idea is to make the playoffs more exciting and make the NBA Finals another Super Bowl.

Maybe one day, the bald referees like Joe Crawford will shine brightly, and the NBA will descend into darkness.

At the press conference, the reporter asked: "Jerry, you are only two wins away from Auerbach's record of eight consecutive titles, how do you feel now?" ”

Yang Rui smiled: "Someone asked this kind of question last year, for me, it is not a record that has to be broken, it has no special significance, and of course there is no special feeling. ”

A room full of reporters didn't know how to continue the topic, Yang Rui seemed crazy enough, but it was a true portrayal of his career. There are now people on the Internet who are suggesting that the league force him to retire, otherwise other teams will not have a chance to win the championship.

Every year, experts analyze the reasons why Yang Rui leads the team strongly, and there are also many teams that imitate his tactical playing style and team building style, but it is always the Clippers who have the last laugh, and a group of basketball celebrities feel that this matter is too evil.

After winning, Yang Rui beckoned everyone to go to the "Tranquility" to have a party as usual, and the players were very happy, but Yang Rui couldn't feel the passion of the past.

He is now like a star on the Chinese Spring Festival Gala, his first appearance, all the audience likes it, and it is full of freshness. Then he appears every year, even if he has the status of Uncle Benshan, he is the finale, and everyone's passion will fade after a long time.

To put it bluntly, he has won too much, and it is boring to win, and it is time for the rapids to retreat.

Even if he continues to win, how much point does it matter? In the field of basketball coaching, he has long been the number one, and he also surpasses everyone in the league in the number of championships. Moreover, if the Clippers want to maintain the depth of the roster and change a coach, they may not fail to win the championship, and the team will not become a weak team all of a sudden because he leaves.

Yang Rui wanted to do something else, and he couldn't stop as soon as the idea was born.

He didn't need to discuss it with his family, and Thomas Bentley didn't advise him to become a basketball coach from the beginning, but wanted to grow Facebook together. His girlfriend and children would prefer him to spend more time at home, especially the kids, who want to play with him.

His time is long gone, and in the long run, the family will have to break up sooner or later.

At this time, Luke Wharton, the first assistant coach, came to chat with him with a glass of wine. "Jerry, the Celtics want me to be the head coach, and I might be leaving this summer."

"You haven't said yes yet, have you?" Yang Rui hurriedly asked.

"No, I said I'd wait until the end of the season to give them an answer." Wharton smiled wryly: "Actually, I would love to stay in Los Angeles, but I don't want to be an assistant coach for the rest of my life. ”

"It's okay if you don't agree, just push it off, just when your contract expires, I announce as the owner that you will be the head coach of the Clippers next season." Yang Rui picked up his wine glass and touched Wharton's glass lightly.

Wharton was stunned. "What did you say?"

"I said you're the head coach of the Clippers next season, it's a verbal agreement, is there a problem?" Yang Rui asked with a smile.

"I'm the head coach, what about you?"

Yang Rui took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "I retire, and I will announce it to the public when I win the championship parade in a few days, the first few parades were very boring, and this time I want to make a big news." ”

Wharton's face suddenly burst into laughter, and he saw that Yang Rui was not joking, and it was impossible to joke with him on this kind of thing.

People are selfish, and Wharton is not a hypocritical person, so he naturally likes to be colorful.

Since ancient times, the prince has ascended the throne and killed many of his brothers to seize the heir; When his father passed on the throne, he knelt on the ground and cried: "Father, you are still young, and your sons are unwilling to take over." There are basically no such people.

Wharton felt that he was about to ascend to the sky in one step, he was a disciple of Yang Rui, a descendant, as long as he didn't make mistakes, he would definitely be able to work on the Clippers for many years. Being the boss of a big club is an honor in itself.

That night, Yang Rui and his three girlfriends shared their thoughts, and they all supported him to retire now and easily become the owner of the Clippers.

As a boss, you don't need to lead the team to train, let alone follow the players to away games, Yang Rui only needs to wait to collect money, most of the time is a holiday, and he can do whatever he wants, and most team owners are like this.

Two days later, the Clippers paraded to win the championship in Los Angeles, and Yang Rui faced the media and fans and announced his retirement in a high-profile manner, and everyone was shocked.

The reporter asked: "Didn't you just say last season that you would retire at the age of 50?" That's not all. ”

Yang Rui shrugged: "I'm talking about 50 years old at the latest, not necessarily, now I have won enough championships, it's time to give young people some opportunities to compete, the future is theirs." ”

The news of Yang Rui's retirement was immediately published on the Internet, making headlines on the front pages of major websites, and the most prepared was Facebook, which released an exclusive interview video.

Yang Rui elaborated on some thoughts in the video, thanking the players for their dedication and efforts, and the fans for their long-term support.

Netizens had a heated discussion, and most of them thought he was cool, and not many people opened their mouths to keep him.

Yang Rui read the comments and was sure that his choice was right, and everyone was tired of watching him win the championship. Americans advocate individual heroism, but they don't like to see someone invincible, so Superman will be afraid of kryptonite, let alone a mortal.

Yang Rui doesn't feel sorry, he has lost the advantage of foresight, and then he can only study the analysis report of the scout like an ordinary person to decide whether to sign someone, why bother so much?
