Chapter 201 [The Strongest Opponent - Garbage Time!] 】

On the 11th, the Raptors challenged the Pistons away and won 127-106. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In three days, the Raptors players recuperated their spirits, and the Pistons did not take a lead in the whole game. After the start of the game, the Pistons went 1-5 and performed poorly.

The Pistons are obviously inferior to the same offense-oriented team, and the two major stars, Hill and Starkerhouse, overlap and need to attack with the ball to exert their power.

Facing the Pistons, who rely on the outside to shoot and lack strong offensive ability on the inside, Yang Rui let Maddie make a cameo appearance as a big forward for a period of time, O'Neal Jr. played small-ball tactics in the center, and the two were excellent at blocking and dismantling, and Hill and Stackhouse became blacksmiths.

The Pistons had to wrap Carter, and after the blocking, the veteran Mills couldn't prevent the breakthrough, a bag of clips, and Christie and Curry threw three points on the side. Christie shot 4-of-8 and Curry shot 6-of-9.

The Raptors had seven players in double figures, with Carter playing only 25 minutes and scoring 20 points, and Maddie playing 22 minutes and scoring only 14 points.

After the game, veteran Dell Curry attended a press conference and was courted by reporters. He averaged 12.5 points, 2 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 20 minutes per game, shooting 45.2% from the field and 47% from three-point range.

An efficient shooter who can shoot a future MVP, but because of his lack of organizational skills, the Bucks are not willing to give him even a 2 million annual salary. Fortunately, this is not a problem in the Raptors, as a point guard, Curry does not need to be organized, and even carrying the ball across the half court is the job of Carter and Maddy, he just waits outside the three-point line.

A group of reporters surrounded Yang Rui to ask his thoughts, and they all felt that he was a big mouth and easy to break big news.

"Jerry, the Raptors started with five straight wins, and in the official power rankings, the Raptors have risen to the first place, how did you do all this?"

'I told the players to do their job, not to mess around, and then eat on the sidelines and watch for free and be fans. Yang Rui replied with a smile.

The reporter asked, "Do you think Carter can be the MVP of the regular season?" If he succeeds this season, he will be the youngest MVP in history. ”

"Originally, I thought he would win the MVP, but now it seems a bit hanging." Yang Rui replied solemnly.

The reporter then asked, "Why?" ”

"Because he was limited by a very strong opponent, I also felt that it was tricky, there was no good way to adjust, this opponent came every game, called 'garbage time'!"

The indoor reporters filmed wildly, which was too arrogant, and the news appeared.

Yang Rui's evaluation of Carter made headlines in many media the next day and became popular all over the world.

If I see farther than anyone else, it's because I'm standing on the shoulders of keyboard warriors.

After 2010, there were countless jokers on the global network, and in this era when the Internet was just emerging, a great joker like Yang Rui was rare in the world. Fans are talking about it.

"This is probably the most arrogant thing a coach has said in the history of the NBA, right? Can you give a similar example? ”

"Garbage time is Carter's biggest enemy for MVP, and Jordan hasn't been treated like this, right? God commented. ”

"The biggest eye-catcher for the Raptors is head coach Jerry Young, who dares to say anything. Compared to him, Reggie Miller, Barkley, and Payton are not big mouths. ”

"I think Jerry Young can become a star without being a basketball coach and hosting a talk show."

Carter's expression at the press conference was also on fire. He was interviewed after Yang Rui, and when the reporter said Yang Rui's evaluation of him, he stayed for five seconds, smiling rather than smiling, and became an emoji on the Internet.

"Of course I want to live up to the coach's requirements and play better, and it would be great if I could win the MVP and the championship," Carter said. ”

The happiest person isn't the Raptors fans, it's president David Stern.

This season, Carter is invincible, and the sales of jerseys and shoes are the first in the league. He was even more topical than Jordan, who had just entered the league, and he was only the fifth pick, and he was aiming for the championship and MVP in his second season.

All of this is Yang Rui driving Carter away, so he can't keep a low profile if he wants to. In the American sports world, you must have a personality, and low-key people must be prepared to be looked down upon by the president and forgotten by the media.

The most typical example is Ray Allen, after entering the league, his statistics in the Bucks are better than Kobe's, and his offensive efficiency is higher, but Kobe Bryant's 98 Star Game is the starter, who knows who Ray Allen is?

When the Raptors returned to their home court, Yang Rui did not arrange training, and gave the players a day off first, and only met the challenge of the 76ers on November 14, a game broadcast live in the United States.

During the holidays, he and Stana Cartick went on a date in Toronto and went to the amusement park. There were paparazzi who followed and posted their street photos, which were on the news again.

Whether it's because Yang Rui is not white or because he speaks too arrogantly, some media have questioned his work ethic, believing that he is not working hard enough and letting the players go freely.

The head coach of the 76ers is the famous old stubborn Larry Brown, and the media compares the two to make the game a gimmick. The 76ers are a team that wins on defense, and it's a spear vs. shield contest.

In addition, the two most popular outside stars in the league's star-making movement are Carter and Iverson, and the competition between the two is very attractive, and fans expect them to score points. Before the game even started, it was already hot.

Iverson has a resounding nickname - the answer! Unlike Carter, who is "half-human, half-god", Iverson has attracted more civilian fans. In particular, slum-born blacks liked him and looked up to him as a role model.

Carter's mother and adoptive father were both teachers, but they had a difficult life as a child, and they lived a petty bourgeois life in middle school. He excelled at playing the saxophone, was a conductor in a high school band, and received a music scholarship.

Iverson has always lived at the bottom of society, and his body is like an ordinary person, with a registered height of 183CM and a weight of 75 kg in shoes. He became the shortest scorer of all time last season, could there be a more inspiring story?

Of course, there are more people who like Carter, and the reason is simple, because he is good at dunking, and he is more beautiful than Jordan's dunks.

Yang Rui didn't plan to let Carter and Iverson score points in this game, but let the other person steal the show, so he chatted with Maddie alone in the morning training.

"Tracy, let me ask you, if you were to play against Iverson, would you have the confidence to defend him? Don't let him play super numbers. ”

Maddie thought for a moment and said with a wry smile: "I will focus on preventing breakthroughs, and use my height and reach advantage to interfere with his shooting." It's hard to guard against though, he's too fast, and the 76ers' interior players will cover him, and as long as he gets rid of it, I can't catch up with him. ”

"I just like you, to be honest, not to brag." Yang Rui said with a smile.

Maddie complained in her heart, since you don't like braggarts, why do you say everything when you are interviewed?

Yang Rui asked again: "To change the question, if Iverson is the main defense against you, how many points do you think you can score?" ”

"It's up to me to get how many shots I get." Maddie replied.

"As long as you play against Snow or Iverson, you have unlimited rights." Yang Rui smiled: "Others defend and pass the ball again, and you just play like this this time." ”

"Really? Then I can score more than 50 points. Maddie was pleasantly surprised.
