Chapter 431 [Intentionally planting flowers and flowers do not bloom, and unintentionally planting willows and willows into the shade]

Determined to join the Lakers, Yang Rui began to study the NBA summer list of complete free agents, looking for a "big fish" suitable for the Lakers. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Old Bass is willing to pay luxury tax in order to win, Yang Rui of course has no reason to be polite, he has long wanted to try the taste of coaching the luxury tax team, and he doesn't have to worry about money when choosing people, which is very cool!

After looking at the free market and the Lakers' current salary, he found that it would be beneficial for the "Big Shark" O'Neal to leave directly, the Lakers would be easy to complete the rebuild, and the salary space was very abundant.

In Yang Rui's previous life, in the summer of 2004, the Lakers traded O'Neal, who was past his prime, for young Caron Butler, Lamar Odom, veteran Brian Grant and a future first-round pick, which seemed to be a win-win situation, but in fact, the Heat pitted the Lakers.

Grant's condition has declined severely, and his contract only expired in 2007, with a remaining amount of more than 42 million and an average annual salary of 14 million.

Grant retired due to injury after playing a season and a half with the Lakers, with 3.8 points and 3.7 rebounds in 04-05 and 2.9 points and 2.7 rebounds in 05-06. In other words, he has an All-Star contract bigger than Odom and does the work of a fringe man.

What's even more painful is that in 2005, in order to strengthen the team's interior strength, Kupchak traded Caron Butler, a potential new star, from the Wizards for Kwame Brown. A trade to center is the right thing, but signing Brown with a high salary, what kind of vision is that?

Therefore, the valuable player that the Lakers traded from the Heat is actually only Odom in the long run, and now he has joined the Lakers freely. This is called "intentionally planting flowers that do not bloom, and unintentionally planting willows and willows into the shade." ”

After roughly setting the target for recruitment, Yang Rui went to explain two more Mavericks games.

Because of his previous spraying performance, many people think that Nowitzki will be unlucky this time, and he will be blackened without complete skin.

As a result, Yang Rui not only did not have Blackitzki, but also praised him, saying that he was one of the best scorers in the league, and his defense was also at an average level, but the Mavericks lacked a good center, so they didn't play well in the past two years.

The Mavericks were also very competitive, winning both games, including a 105-91 win over the Spurs.

Old Nelson's pot should not be carried by Nowitzki, so Yang Rui made a little suggestion for the Mavericks to recruit.

"I think if the Mavericks traded with the Warriors last summer and brought in not Antoine Jamison, but center Eric Damppier, it would have been possible to defend the restricted area and be much more competitive. While Dampier is poor offensively, he's an excellent defensive blue-collar, flesh-shield center, which is exactly what the Mavericks are missing. ”

Yang Rui praised Dampier very unwillingly, a blue-collar center with a height of 211CM and a weight of 120 kg, whose natural skill is bragging B, and his biggest specialty is the pit calf.

In Yang Rui's previous life, the 2003-2004 season was Dampier's contract year, so he increased his shots, rushed to the frontcourt rebounds very aggressively, and finally cut down 12.3 points, 12 rebounds, 0.8 assists and 1.9 blocks.

Later, Dampier uttered the quote that hit the heart - "I'm the second center in the West!" ”

In this life, Dampier may not say that he is the second center in the West, because that is too low-key. O'Neal went to the Heat a year early, and now there is no center in the West, all blue-collar, and Dampier is the most beautiful blue-collar in the blue-collar group.

Yang Rui is not worried that this product will not be able to be played in the future, it seems that he has lost his eyes, and when someone asks about it in the future, he will play word games. "What? I didn't say Dampier could be a star, it's just that he was better suited to the Mavericks than Jamison at that time. ”

The reason why Yang Rui is so pitiful is because he doesn't consider coaching other teams. In addition to the Spurs and Suns in the West, the Mavericks are also important competitors for the Lakers. If it weren't for the manager's low IQ and the failure of recruitment, the Mavericks would be the most difficult team in the West to deal with.

Yang Rui felt that the Mavericks were ruined by Dampier, and when Dampier was there, the center position had no attack power, and the salary space was locked. Dampier finally left the Mavericks for the 10-11 season, and the Mavericks won the championship that season. And the team that Dampier joined happened to be the Heat, can he be mortal in this kind of career? It's clearly a god of decay!

Cuban has always been willing to spend money to build a team with Nowitzki as the core, and his teammates have changed one after another, and the total salary has not been low. Yang Rui's success in the past few years has brought about a trend of small-ball tactics in advance, and big men who can respond and shoot are generally more valuable. Yang Rui is afraid that the Maverick manager will open his mind, even if he doesn't trade Yao Ming and signs Oku with a lot of money in the summer, the Maverick will be very difficult to deal with.

Oku is physically strong, fierce in the restricted area, has an offensive range beyond the three-point line, is good at pull-up jump shots, has good key ball ability, and has a balance between offense and defense. As soon as he and Nowitzki pulled out the two big men, they killed their opponents in minutes.

For the future, Yang Rui hopes that the Mavericks management will set their sights on Dampier. Of course, it will be very difficult for the Mavericks to trade from the Pistons to Oku. This season, Oku has played at a level under Van Gundy and has become a promising interior team in the league along with Milicic.

Yang Rui also commented on a Pistons game, and then felt that Larry Brown deserved to be sprayed even more.

Oku averaged 35 minutes per game, 15.7 points, 8.6 rebounds and 2.4 assists and was almost named an All-Star this year. Milicic averaged 30 minutes per game, 13.5 points, 7 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.7 blocks, but shot slightly lower from the field at 45.6%.

Van Gundy let Bob Sulla, who was traded from the Warriors, organize Okura, Okura from beyond the three-point line, and Stackhouse can attack with the ball.

Houston and Milicic play off-ball cover on the side, with the former running to catch and shoot, or to attract misplaced defenders to split the ball to Milicic.

Houston's style of play has changed, he has always been healthy, he is a well-known off-ball player in the league, no team dares to relax his defense, and after switching defenses inside, Milicic will get a misplaced offensive opportunity when receiving the ball, whether it is relying on the height advantage of the jump shot or the impact of the basket, there is an advantage.

Milicic's talent is undeniable, and when he is on the side, he scares all the scouts, which is why he is in front of the interior line such as Bosh and Kaman. He was lucky to avoid Brown Sr., and under the guidance of Van Gundy, he practiced catch-and-shoot and low-post turnaround shots, Ewing that set.

Yang Rui commented on Van Gundy and said: "His tactics are very reasonable, I can't find any fault, if I am asked to coach the Pistons, it will almost play like this, the biggest highlight of the Pistons is not the inside twin towers, but Sula's second spring." ”

Sula has become a fringe player with the Warriors, and he has been resurrected by joining the Pistons.

In Yang Rui's previous life, when Sula was in the rocket, it was Van Gundy who saved him. Now he is averaging 10.3 points, 5.1 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1 steal per game, shooting 42.3% from the field and 35.4% from three-point range.

Fate is wonderful.

The Pistons beat the Hornets 101-89, and Smith asked Yang Rui: "What heights do you think Milicic can reach in the future?" He is currently ranked third on the rookie list. ”

Yang Rui replied: "I don't know where his ceiling is, but unfortunately it is certain that he can play in the NBA for a long time, at least he will not change careers to participate in kickboxing." ”

Smith was stunned for a moment: "Hahaha, how can a player change his career to free fighting?" ”

"If I were Yao Ming, I would probably switch to free fighting, imagine every opponent as Larry Brown, beat me to my heart's content, and then get beaten and bruised and swollen in every fight."

The two laughed for a while, and Barkley held his stomach and said, "This is the funniest NBA joke I've ever heard." ”

Tragically, in Yang Rui's previous life, this was not a joke at all, but the ending of Milicic. Now, his life is completely different.
