Chapter 684 [Magical Coach, Full of Gimmicks]
Yang Rui delivered an acceptance speech, and reporters also interviewed two of the Clippers' teaching assistants.
One person gets the Tao, the chicken dog ascends to heaven, and Yang Rui is an assistant coach, and it is easy to become the head coach in the future, and the exposure rate is guaranteed.
"It's an honor to be a part of the Clippers." Steve Cole paused, smiled and said, "Of course, if Jerry wasn't here, I probably wouldn't have said such things for the rest of my life." He's an amazing coach who changed everything for the Clippers in just one season. ”
The reporter asked, "How do you feel about being his teaching assistant?" ”
"I've learned a lot and I feel like I'm improving. Jerry would always gather everyone together to study the opponent's game footage and make a game plan, and he allowed all of us to have our opinions, and what was good would be adopted. This has increased my experience and confidence. When I was a player, some coaches wanted to have the monopoly and have a single voice when it came to the footage, but the Clippers didn't have that. ”
Many reporters felt that Kerr was alluding to the "Zen master" Phil Jackson, who asked for a triangle offense and rarely played other tactics during both the Bulls and Lakers.
Because of Yang Rui, Jackson only won six championship rings as the head coach, and probably there will be no "Zen master" coach in the league to show his skills.
After last season, Jackson failed to get a contract extension from the Knicks and is currently at home, with head coach replaced by Mike D'Antoni. When people talk about Jackson, he is one of the most overrated coaches, and the Bulls' five championships are due to Jordan, leading the Knicks to never past the first round of the playoffs and to finish bottom for two years.
"I've never seen a better coach than Jerry, and when the Wizards won a championship, I thought it was incredible to be his assistant coach, and I had a hunch that I was going to reach the top of my field in a new field," Tyrone Lue said. It's a very unique experience that you can't feel if you're not part of our team. It's a great place to learn and improve, both for the players and the assistant coaches. ”
On that day, the media devoted a lot of space to reporting on the Clippers' awards, and the news of other teams could only occupy a small space.
Los Angeles Sports Magazine devotes an entire issue to the Clippers' roster, analyzing their chances of winning a championship this season and the future prospects of the stars.
Capitalizing on the excitement of the award announcement, the Clippers beat the Warriors 105-93 on the road, giving the series a 3-1 lead.
After the game, the media praised Yang Rui again.
On the one hand, he praised him for bringing out a lot of excellent players and assistant coaches, and on the other hand, he mentioned his "cruelty", because he had never lost in the playoffs against his assistant coaches, and he was beaten in various ways.
Celtics coach Doc Doc T
The Spurs' two championships were won by Yang Rui when he was on vacation, and he did not win in the finals.
Back at home for the fifth game, Yang Rui continued to arrange the run-and-bomb tactics, taking Lopes and Randolph to run.
The first Clippers loss was that the pace wasn't fast enough, and once the Warriors ran along, there was no chance of winning. In order to strengthen the defense, Hornacek couldn't even let the two interior lines stay on the court for a long time, and he couldn't defend back.
Lopez is a good player on the offensive end, not much faster than Yao Ming and Hibbert on the defensive end, and is one of the slowest centers.
Griffin scored 34 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists in this game, and the outside of Paul, Curry, and Korver also performed well, and the Clippers defeated the Warriors 116-97 and advanced to the Western Conference Finals 4-1.
On the Internet, Yang Mi from various countries posted congratulations, and after joining the Clippers, Yang Rui still maintained the record of not missing the Western Finals. If it was a previous life, fans would admire Yang Rui even more, because he brought Paul, who had never entered the Western Finals, into the Western Finals......
In the other round of the series, the Mavericks eliminated the young Thunder 4-1 and met the Clippers.
Harden is not the bearded man who can compete for MVP right now, averaging only 13 points, 5.4 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game in the playoffs.
Although Westbrook was able to score 23.8 points, 5.4 rebounds and 6.4 assists in the playoffs, he shot only 39.4% from the field and 29.2% from three-point range.
Durant averaged 30 points per game after entering the playoffs, and he didn't play well in this series, with his stats slipping to 28.6 points, 8.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists, shooting 44.9% from the field and 33.9% from three-point range.
Durant's performance in key games was unsatisfactory, 2.7 seconds before the end of the fifth game, the two teams were tied at 98, Durant was responsible for shooting the key ball, receiving the ball outside the three-point line, and was slapped by Marion.
The two sides entered overtime, Durant seemed physically exhausted, and he didn't score a point on 0-of-3 shooting, and the Thunder could only rely on Westbrook to maneuver with the opponent, and finally the Mavericks narrowly won by 5 points.
Someone listed a statistic after the game, Durant shot 2 of 17 from the key ball that could make the difference this season, and the shooting rate was only 11.8%.
The opposite of Durant is Nowitzki, who seems to have regained his youth after entering the playoffs, averaging 28.6 points, 8 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game, shooting 50.7% from the field, 46% from three-point range, and 92% from the free throw line.
The Eastern Cavaliers swept the Bucks 4-0 and beat the Hawks 4-1; The Celtics swept the Knicks 4-0 and beat the Magic 4-1, and the two teams will meet in the Eastern Conference Finals.
As soon as the "mountain eagle" Bosh left, the strength of the Eagles dropped sharply, and it was more than enough to enter the playoffs, and they would be stunned when they reached the second round.
At this time, the Hawks management also realized that Joe Johnson was not a qualified leader, he had outstanding skills, but his physical fitness had no merit except that he was as strong as an ox, and fans basically never saw him dunk.
After the Magic was eliminated, center "Warcraft" Howard also became the focus of the media, and there was news that he was dissatisfied with the reinforcement of the Magic team and was ready to leave the Magic at any time.
Howard was interviewed and said that he would stay away from basketball and fly all over the world, go on vacation to various places, relax, and carry out various business promotion activities.
Howard said: "I was very disappointed to be eliminated and I didn't want to watch any of the games. I just want to go and relax with all my heart, find a very secluded island, lie on the beach, and do push-ups twice a day. ”
This year, NBA ratings are starting to explode, attracting a large number of fans, and to the headache of president David Stern, it is another season when the collective bargaining agreement expires, and the summer is likely to be unnegotiable, and it will go into a shutdown again.
Both series are full of gimmicks.
The Cavaliers and Celtics are old rivals, James sees Pierce as an arch-enemy, and both teams have a Big Three.
However, on the Internet, fans don't like the game of these two teams very much, the defense is the mainstay, and the play is too ugly.
The Celtics were the slowest team in the league to switch between offense and defense, averaging 96.5 points and conceding 91.1 points on 75.8 shots per game during the regular season. How can people love this?
The pace of the Cavaliers is not fast, even if they have James and Wade, they are still positional battles, averaging 76.8 shots per game, scoring 102.1 points and conceding 94.6 points.
Yang Rui is reluctant to study the Cavaliers' game videos, and generally plays very dull in the first three quarters, fighting defense with opponents. Let the narrator want to explode - "What the hell is this"?
Then into the fourth quarter, the Cavaliers often shine again, the offensive efficiency is super high, and the players seem to have taken a doping.
In fact, Adelman's strategy is to first stabilize the defense, consume the physical strength of the opponent's core, and then give full play to the advantages of the Big Three's athleticism in the final quarter, defeat the opponent in one go, and win more easily against ordinary teams, and against the Clippers and Mavericks, the Cavaliers have to kneel.
The division finals have not yet started, and there have been media posts saying that the champion will be decided between the Mavericks and the Clippers.
