Chapter 420 [The lawsuit is over, put on the shelf]

Yang Rui commented after the game: "The Wizards have a big problem with the defensive end. I don't think Maggette is suitable for starting. He has a good body, but his defensive awareness is average. If the opponent is a strong man, he can limit the opponent's skills. Type player, he can't defend well."

Barkley asked: "Gerald Wallace played as a backup small forward today, what do you think of his performance?"

"His offensive skills still need to be improved. He can't become a star without improving his shooting. Staying in the Wizards is not a good thing for him. I suggest that he leave after his rookie contract expires. The Wizards don't have enough ball rights now, he can only attack fifth or even sixth choice, which affects his future ceiling."

In Yang Rui's previous life, Gerald Wallace joined the Bobcats. He replaced Okafor in the 06 season and became the "Elvis". He averaged a maximum of 19.4 points per game in a single season and was selected for the All-Star Game.

The reason why he can become an all-around striker is because the Bobcats have too few offensive points. He averaged less than 7 shots per game in the Wizards.

Last season, Yang Rui poached Wallace from the perspective of the team's performance.Now he's starting to think from a player's perspective, so he's pointing a clear path, not trying to break up the Wizards. (No wonder!)

In the post-match press conference, many reporters asked questions based on the commentary after watching the live broadcast of TNT radio.

Arenas became the focus, scoring 17 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists on 2 of 4 shots, 4 of 20 from 2-point range, and 5 of [-] from the free throw line.Yang Rui said that he can become an All-Star, but he is not optimistic about him leading the team to win, implicitly saying that he is a cancer.

Arenas said angrily: "I just joined this team and it takes time to adapt. Jerry Young's words will not make me depressed, it will only be my motivation."

Stoudamire spoke bluntly. "I miss Richard (Hamilton) very much. We cooperated very well. Unfortunately, he has joined the Nuggets now. The new coach has just arrived, and I don't want to compare him to Jerry."

This is to save face for the coach. Looking at the honor, we know that the two are incomparable.

The reporter also interviewed Eddie Jordan, retell Yang Rui's comments on the Wizards, and let him talk about his thoughts.

Eddie Jordan looked dull, his eyes blurred, and his expression was like a sledgehammer.

What he said made sense, I was speechless.

The next day, many media made headlines about the opening game of the Wizards. They didn't talk about the game too much, but focused on Yang Rui's testimonials when he took the ring and his evaluation of the Wizards.

The photo of Yang Rui smiling and showing the ring and the photo of Abel Pollin frowning side by side provide a stark contrast.No one watched Curiosity to defend the title, because Yang Rui's predictions were always accurate and almost never missed.

ESPN also complained about Yang Rui. "He made a mistake, he signed a guest contract with TNT radio station. That is to say, he is not a professional commentator at all, and his working hours are not fixed. No matter how good the commentary is, he is not qualified to participate in the selection of the most Best Sports Explainer Award."

This became a joke on the Internet, and many fans laughed at Yang Rui who didn't even understand common sense and was slapped in the face.

Every year in the NBA, players who are out of the regular season come to the TV station as guests to explain the playoffs, and some people explain international games during the vacation. How can these people be awarded awards?
On the 30th, Yang Rui made headlines again, and his lawsuit with the Wizards was over.

Wizards owner Abel Pollin will pay Yang Rui's remaining full salary and 100 million in liquidated damages.

Paulin wasn't afraid to see Yang Rui go to be a guest commentator.But after investigation, he realized that if the lawsuit dragged on like this, he would not be able to consume Yang Rui, and he would not only pay the full amount, but also have to pay more compensation.

The longer the lawsuit drags on, the longer the contract execution time will be, and the more indemnity the breaching party will have to pay. Since there is no hope of winning, of course, the loss must be stopped in time.

If it is a lawsuit with an ordinary coach, Pauline may be able to drag the opponent to death.But Yang Rui's lawyer was hired by Facebook, and Paulin knew that he was not short of money at all, and it would be death to break the lawsuit.

Paulin now only feels that he is a bastard. Facebook is actually invested by Yang Rui. With such money, he can still be a gross basketball coach?

Another important reason for Pauline's compromise is that the league has taken a shot.There was a lot of trouble in the summer, and the Wizards' new season broadcasts and advertisements were all affected. In addition, the tickets could not be sold, so it would be good to not lose money.

The Wizards' home court for the opening game was not full, and many Wizards fans on the Internet said they would rather watch TV at home.

It's a pity that at this point, Paulin has no room for turning back after admitting defeat.All fans believe that it was his relationship that prevented Yang Rui from being a coach in the new season. The Wizards not only offended a large number of fans, but also completely lost the Chinese market.Xue Yuyang also failed to join the Wizards, and some people thought it was because of the Wizards management.

This season, the weakening of the Wizards is a foregone conclusion!

On the 1st, Yang Ruiren was in Los Angeles, but refused to explain the Lakers' home game against the Suns.

The person in charge of TNT radio was surprised, and the media couldn't figure out what Yang Rui was thinking. He bought a house in Los Angeles. Many people speculated that he wanted to join the Lakers, but he was not interested in watching the Lakers games?

This is Yang Rui's cleverness. It is not good for him to explain the Lakers game now.If you don’t explain it, you can avoid suspicion. The Lakers have nothing to say this season.

First of all, the Lakers are a bad team at the bottom. He took the initiative to join up and expressed his interest in joining. At that time, Old Buss would not have to look for talents and care about mansions.This is not good because the management wants more rights, and it can't show his ability.

Secondly, Kobe is in a lawsuit. When explaining the game, if he says a few good things about Kobe, it may cause controversy.When the fans say that he supports the QJ suspect, isn't this looking for trouble for himself?Before the judge acquitted Kobe, everyone wanted to stay away from this guy, Phil Jackson was no exception, let alone an outsider?
He can't hold Kobe Bryant, nor can he black Kobe a few words. If Barkley black Kobe, he won't be easy to follow up.If he joins the Lakers next season, Kobe may have grudges in his heart, and fans may also think that he is too hypocritical.

As for "Zen Master" Jackson, Yang Rui also has a bad evaluation.There is no need for him to be black at all. There is no more embarrassing head coach in the league now than Jackson.

The Lakers have clearly begun to rebuild this season, but Jackson still has one year left on his contract. He has no reason to give up the last year of high salary, so he continues to lead the team, but it is impossible to come up with results.If the team is bad, Jackson can't afford to lose that person, even if he wants to be bad, Kobe won't agree.

The most embarrassing thing is that even if Jackson tried his best, the Lakers went straight to the lottery.In the end, it can only prove that the Lakers are not bad, but really bad.

Yang Rui is now waiting on the air. He knows very well that if a star is not traded, the Lakers have no future at all in recent years. Kobe Bryant has scored twice, and he can only lead the team to the first round of the playoffs. In 2004 and 2005, I am afraid that they will miss the playoffs.

Moreover, if Yang Ruiren lived in Los Angeles, if the old Buss did not come to negotiate with him, but asked Tomjanovich to be the coach as in his previous life, then the title of "best boss" would be too watery.

Between the young three-time Best Coach Award winner and an old coach who has been "played out of his brain" and has serious health problems, all teams will choose Yang Rui.
