Chapter 464 [Continued Outbreak, Brown Gets Out of Class]
With four consecutive double-doubles, Yao Ming's strength has been affirmed by everyone, and many fans say that he is the No. 1 center in the West. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
O'Neal is gone, Dampier is falling, and there is no star center in the Western Conference now, even if there is no Chinese fans to help vote, Yao Ming will definitely be selected to start in the West this season. Because of the explosion against the Knicks, Yao Ming even temporarily ranked first on the rebounding list and locked in the Most Improved Player award in advance.
In the first two seasons, not only in the United States, but also in China, a large number of "Yao Hei" appeared on the Internet, believing that he was the parallel champion of Kwame Brown's level. Now, Yao Ming and Kwamei are people from two worlds, and many people are beginning to compare him with O'Neill.
"Yao is likely to be another super center after O'Neal."
"O'Neill is getting older and not in the same shape as before, and I'm looking forward to this season's Yao Shark showdown."
"In the summer, there were many people who thought that the Lakers and the Knicks had lost money, and Yao Ming's strength was not as good as Medvidenko, and now they are all dumbfounded, right?"
In an interview, Yang Rui spared no effort to praise Yao's name. "If he can stay healthy and play until he is 35, I think he will probably become one of the best centers in NBA history, definitely in the top 10 or even higher. He can shoot, he shoots from beyond the three-point line, he has a nimble foot, and he has an incredible ability to score. ”
The reporter asked: "Will you let Yao Ming shoot three more points?" ”
Yang Rui smiled: "As long as he is sure, I support shooting across the midcourt, I also encouraged Miller to shoot three points before, and wanted to increase the range of Boozer and Stoudamire in the Wizards, but he only played for a year in the Wizards, and he didn't have time." Yao Ming can definitely increase the range, and his shooting touch is fantastic. ”
Yang Rui didn't brag too much about Yao Ming, when he played CBA, Yao Ming had a long shot. Now that the Lakers are training, once Yao Ming hit 12 three-pointers in the middle, Kobe Bryant was dumbfounded, and applauded him excitedly on the side.
In the NBA, during his rookie season, a reporter asked Larry Brown if he minded Yao Ming to shoot three-pointers, and Brown also said that he didn't mind at all, but Yao Ming only shot five times outside the three-point line in the first two years.
In Yang Rui's previous life, the person who caused Yao Ming's range to get closer and closer was Van Gundy, after he arrived at the rocket, he asked Yao Ming to fight in the low position, and he was not allowed to shoot three points at all, so Yao Ming couldn't "not do his job".
Van Gundy is also the culprit of Yao Ming's early retirement, and he is also the one who asks Yao Ming to gain weight and increase his "dominance" in the low position.
Yao Ming didn't break through the first round of the playoffs until 2009 under Adelman's leadership, and the deepest impression on people was that he was injured again and again, missing dozens of games every season. Because of injuries, Yao Ming was not even selected for the best team for a while, and was miserable by Van Gundy.
You must know that Yao Ming's best stats in the NBA were all played in his rookie season, on February 22, 2004, against the Hawks, he scored 41 points, 16 rebounds and 7 assists.
Yang Rui not only didn't want Yao Ming to gain weight, but also wanted him to lose a little more, about 125 kilograms was enough. He can play like Brad Miller, extend his range beyond the three-point line and step up his high post play. He is tall, high-lifting, and it is difficult for the opponent to interfere with passing, and if he usually practices more to grab rebounds in the backcourt and pass, he will become an excellent playmaking center.
It's hard to get hurt in this way, and when the opponent has a poor inside confrontation and is short, Yao Ming can still play in the low post. When encountering a fat man who needs to resist and is good at attacking in a low position, Yao Ming rests, Diop, and Yang Rui will always maintain a blue-collar who can resist in the team.
The Knicks started with four consecutive defeats, in stark contrast to the Lakers, with players fighting on their own and not being able to cooperate at all.
Last season, when Hill was around, the Knicks were still a playoff team, and they were completely scrapped after being replaced by Marbury. Marbury is also lying on the gun, he is bent on playing for his hometown team, but the situation is very different from what he imagined. He has now been described by the media as a "super tumor".
Knicks owner James Dolan couldn't bear it anymore and fired Larry Brown without waiting for the end of the season, he didn't want to see Brown's face anymore, and the Knicks became the laughing stock of the world. When Yao Ming was chosen, everyone was optimistic that Yao Ming would become the Knicks' new King Kong, a super center, if it wasn't for Brown saying that Yao Ming couldn't do it, they wouldn't have been able to send it away so easily.
The veteran coach who led the 76ers to the finals in 2001 became the first head coach to be dismissed in the new season.
Next, Brown is going to fight a lawsuit with the Knicks over the salary, James Dolan will definitely not pay the rest of his salary to Brown so happily, the media and fans may not be on Brown's side, it depends on whether David Stern is willing to stand up and reconcile.
Just kidding, he gave a super center to the Lakers for nothing, in exchange for two useless substitutes, he is going to kill the rhythm of the Knicks, and he still wants money?
The Lakers were not all smooth sailing, losing back-to-back games on the 10th, losing 102-110 to the Grizzlies on the road.
Bryant continued to slump, playing 31 minutes, and was defended by Battier on 4-of-19 shooting, 2-of-6 three-pointers, and 10-of-13 free throws, scoring only 20 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists.
Battier played 41 minutes, had 18 points, 6 rebounds and 2 blocks, shot 6-of-10, 2-of-3 three-pointers, and 4-of-6 free throws, and was more efficient than Kobe.
Yang Rui saw Kobe Bryant, who committed a nervous disorder, obviously his hands were sparse, and his opponent sealed his eyes, and he still had to face people.
Yang Rui also let Kobe Bryant see what a domineering coach is, directly pressed him on the bench to calm down, and took a 7-minute break in the final quarter, and only played in the last 5 minutes, helping the team by breaking through the ball.
Kobe Bryant broke through, Battier did not defend the reconciliation, and at the last moment, Kobe Bryant made 5 of 6 free throws to ensure scoring efficiency.
Rashid, Yao Ming, and Iguodala also scored one after another, almost reversing the 21-point gap to win, but at the last moment, Grizzlies point guard Byron Davis pumped and hit three three-pointers in a row, leading the Grizzlies to the end.
Back in the locker room, Yang Rui talked to Kobe Bryant alone. "Kobe, when you don't feel good, you have to cut down on jumpers and break more. I won't criticize you externally, but then you don't play like this again, don't worry about the average points per game, like the next game against the Magic, even if you don't want to shoot, I will arrange for you to shoot more. ”
"I see." Kobe Bryant knew that he was wrong, so he didn't refute Yang Rui and gave himself a reason.
He knows that his shot selection is terrible, and sometimes he can't control his desire to shoot, which is due to his personality.
Yang Rui didn't talk too much to him, and challenged the Magic away on the 12th, and Kobe Bryant had unlimited shots.
The tactics are still blocking and dismantling, the champion Dwight Howard is not a monster now, just a rookie, and the change of defense after encountering the blocking and dismantling is not timely enough, and Kobe Bryant scored on emergency stop jump shots again and again. In the counterattack, Kobe Bryant singled out, and DeSean Stevenson and Richard Jefferson couldn't prevent it.
Bryant shot 18-of-28, 2-of-5 from three-point range and 11-of-12 from the free-throw line to finish with 49 points, five rebounds, three assists and two steals.
Yao Ming played 30 minutes and scored 16 points, 13 rebounds and 2 assists, teaching Howard, who had 5 points and 11 rebounds, a good lesson.
After Damon Jones went undercover, he also broke out today, shooting 6-of-10, 5-of-9 from three-point range, and 4-of-4 from the free-throw line, finishing with 21 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist. His stats don't resemble a point guard at all, averaging a meagre 1.2 assists per game, but he can certainly help the Lakers.
After back-to-back road defeats to the Rockets, the Lakers players were given three days off and will host the underdog Clippers on the 17th.
