At the press conference, major media focused on interviewing Yang Rui. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The rookie coach battled the wits of the all-time coach was one of the highlights of the series, but it turned out to be one-sided, and the young Raptors easily advanced.

The reporter asked, "Can you comment on Coach Daley?" ”

Yang Rui smiled: "He is a very great coach, in terms of coaching, we have a lot of similarities, we are all good at kneading different personalities, different types of players together, to play their strengths. I think building a good relationship with the players should be the first step for a coach. ”

The reporters were all stunned, they had never seen such a brazen person, first saying that the other party was great, and then saying that they were similar to each other, what kind of way is this?

Thinking about it for a moment, Yang Rui seems to be very clever, as a winner, he said that he is like Daley, who can say that he does not respect his predecessors?

Moreover, they have some similarities.

Whether it's Dream Team superstars Michael Jordan and Charles Barkley, or personality players Dennis Rodman and Isaiah Thomas, they all get along well with Daley and play well under him. The Raptors are a group of newcomers who have come together and performed impressively.

The reporter asked, "How do you evaluate the Magic team?" ”

"If I had been coaching this Magic, I wouldn't have the confidence to lead them to the playoffs, and Coach Daley led the team to a fifth-place finish, which is amazing. Of course, it has a lot to do with the style of coaching, I prefer attacking players. ”

The reporter asked: "The general concept in the league is that defense wins the championship, do you think you can beat the Knicks in the next round and advance to the Eastern Conference finals by attacking?" ”

Yesterday, the Knicks eliminated the 76ers 3-0, also relying on defense to win, and the Knicks attacked more points. Iverson's hit rate is barely forty percent, and he can't be a lone hero.

"I think that what is needed to win the championship is a balance between attack and defense, and the lack of softness is a lack of strength but not overcome, and the lack of rigidity is a waste of effort. Combining rigidity and softness is my basketball philosophy. "Yang Rui has put the concept of Chinese kung fu into use, and Chinese fans will definitely be very happy to see it.

Some reporters are still not giving up and want to catch Yang Rui's handle. "In the playoffs, strong defense and positional offense are the best way to win, and the Raptors are the fastest team in the league, do you feel like you're following a difficult path that goes against the laws of basketball?"

Yang Rui smiled slightly. "There is a Chinese idiom called "The Extreme of Things Must Be Opposite", which means that things will develop to the extreme and will be transformed in the opposite direction. Therefore, I firmly believe that the main tone of basketball in the future will be offense, shooting away from the basket, and fast-paced offensive and defensive transitions. The Raptors will lead the way, and we are the future! ”

The reporters took a wild shot, this is a declaration to make headlines!

A reporter asked: "What do you think of the expert analysis that you are likely to win the best coach award in the regular season this season?" ”

The major awards of the NBA regular season have not yet been selected, but Yang Rui winning the best coach is almost a certainty.

The selection is based on a comparison with last season's team record. Dunleavy and Popovich's teams have a better record, but they haven't improved much. If this year's award is not given to Yang Rui, it can be canceled directly, and Larry Bird's performance last season was not at all the same level as him.

"I want to win and it's more important to win the next series at the moment."

At the end of the interview, the reporters sorted out the manuscript and prepared to publish a column immediately, and the news would definitely be popular. Yang Rui has shown amazing ambition, and he is not satisfied with the record in the second round of the playoffs.

In other games, the Pacers eliminated the Pistons 3-1, the Western Spurs eliminated the Timberwolves 3-1, the Trail Blazers eliminated the Rockets 3-0, and the Lakers eliminated the Kings 3-1.

Jazz vs Suns, Heat vs Hawks are all tied 2-2, waiting for the final battle of life and death.

The meeting between the Knicks and the Raptors became the focus of the second round, attracting everyone's attention, and the highlight was not only the matchup between the old and new stars, but also the clash between Yang Rui and Van Gundy.

Basketball experts on major radio stations analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the two teams' lineups and predict the outcome of the game.

Center Ewing vs Willis. The Knicks have the advantage, and Willis's efficiency is still there, but it can't be compared to the big four centers.

Power forward Larry Johnson vs. O'Neal Jr., with the Knicks dominating. O'Neal Jr. has improved a lot, showing a star in a few games, and that's it, Johnson is more well-rounded and experienced on the offensive end.

Small forward Bruce Bowen vs Carter. The Raptors have the advantage, Bowen is a pseudo-starter, the role is to defend, the offensive corner is open and other opportunities to shoot, whether Carter can beat Bowen is considered by many experts to be the key to the Raptors' victory.

Shooting guard Alan Houston vs. Christie. The Knicks have the advantage, Houston has All-Star strength, last season's Finals MVP, mid-to-long range shooting is stable, top-notch off-ball ability, and Christie is just a role player.

Point guard: Charlie Ward vs Billups. The Raptors have the upper hand. Billups has not improved much in statistics this season, but it is better than Ward's outside blue-collar players, averaging only 7.6 points and 5.4 assists per game, and point guard is the Knicks' biggest weakness.

The bench competition is evenly matched, the Knicks' bench is led by Sprewell, two excellent blue-collar workers on the inside, Childles and Jackson are also defensive and are considered the strongest defensive benches in the league.

The Raptors, on the contrary, are the most offensive bench, led by Maddy, DeBron, and Detreff, and many teams are not losing their offense.

Most pundits favor the Knicks to advance, with a lavish roster, more celebrity stars, playoff experience, and home-court advantage.

Funnily enough, some experts believe that the Raptors' biggest advantage is the head coach, and Jerry Young beats Jeff Van Gundy to arrange targeted tactics and has excellent on-court adaptability.

Van Gundy rarely adjusted his tactics in the game, playing in a similar style in every game. During one of the McBlin's commentaries, he couldn't help but complain, saying that Van Gundy forgot to set up tactics when he watched the cheerleading performance.

There was also media ridicule of Van Gundy. The Philadelphia Times said: "Although the Knicks swept the 76ers, they did not have an overwhelming advantage, and the weakness was the head coach. If it were the Knicks last season, the 76ers would probably lose by an average of 20 points per game. ”

"Jerry Young is a miracle worker, he was able to help the Knicks beat the Bulls last season, and of course he could lead the Raptors to beat the Knicks, who won two games in the regular season," the Canadian media said. ”

According to the Los Angeles Times, "Jerry Young proved himself to be an unscrupulous genius, Van Gundy's offense was the same tactics he left over from last season, and consider the Knicks' poor start to the game, with a defense-oriented strategy that almost made Van Gundy the enemy of New York fans." ”

The New York media countered and did not help Van Gundy speak. "The Raptors made it to the second round because of a shortened season where the fitness and impact of the young players came into play. The defensive intensity is higher in the playoffs, and it is impossible for them to beat the Knicks, and the NBA championship is by no means something that a group of young people who have just left college can get as the core. ”

The players and coaches on both sides are very low-key, not mentioning the victory or defeat, saying everything before the game is in vain, and the result decides everything.
