Chapter 60 [The line of happiness behind the dark clouds]

Less publicity does not mean that he will not be targeted. Yang Rui guessed right, he has already entered the eyes of the management of several teams.

As long as you show attractive ability, you don't have to worry about no one paying attention.The Knicks' offensive performance is too different from last season, and scouts from each team will definitely dig into the reasons. Yang Rui's effect on the Knicks cannot be concealed.

In addition to the eastern vice-president Raptors, the Nuggets, the league's penultimate management team, are also considering recruiting Yang Rui as head coach.

The Nuggets are a team with a fast-break tradition. In the 1981-82 season, under the leadership of English, the Nuggets averaged 126.5 points per game, breaking the Philadelphia Warriors' 1962 points in the 63-125.4 season. Record, set a new NBA record, for the first time in NBA history to achieve more than [-] points per game in a season.

In addition, they have averaged 5 points per game for five consecutive years, and they have also allowed a league-high 120 points per game on the defensive end.

Regardless of the record, Denver fans of that era feasted their eyes, and they began to dissatisfied with the now dead team.Today, the Nuggets have a magical 2-32 record, closer to the worst record in history than the Raptors.

The Bulls management is also considering looking for Yang Rui to replace Phil Jackson.

It's not that manager Jerry Krause thinks Yang Rui can become a famous coach, but he knows that the Bulls are finished next season and rebuilding is imperative.

There are tens of thousands of Chinese in Chicago, and Yang Rui's price must be much cheaper. This is an advantage.

Michael Jordan is already in talks with owner Reinsdorf about how to continue to serve the Bulls after retirement, and does not plan to continue playing.Jordan's message was clear, give me equity and management of the team, and let Krause stand aside.This made Krause very unhappy, and Jordan also had a conflict.

Of course Reinsdorf did not agree with Jordan's idea. Running a team and playing skills are two completely different things.

Reinsdorf is convincing Jordan to stay and continue to play for the Bulls, helping the Bulls complete the transition and rebuilding, and then Jordan retire to become a Lakers minority shareholder and team image consultant like "Magic".

The negotiation between the two sides broke up, Jordan was not interested in playing on a bad team, just wanted to compete for the championship.In addition, Jordan's salary is too high. After the new labor negotiation in the summer, the salary is bound to be reduced. If Jordan does not want to reduce the salary and still wants to compete for the championship, he can only choose to join other teams or retire.

Pippen is definitely going to be sent away, and Rodman's contract has expired. As a result, the rebuilding of the Bulls without a star needs a gimmick. Yang Rui is a good choice, as a transitional head coach to attract fans' attention.

The Warriors and Kings have no chance to hit the playoffs, and they are also considering rebuilding. Yang Rui is the focus of investigation.As long as the Knicks do well in the playoffs, he will definitely be the head coach of a team next season.

1月11日，尼克斯主场靠着顽强防守末节逆转了13分分差，93比91击败了强队超音速。

The Supersonics started to press the Knicks, and the insiders Wen Baker and Detrev Schramf can shoot. The height of 206CM and the weight of 97 kg Detrev's shooting range has reached beyond the three-point line, 41.5% The three-point shooting rate is super mobile and suitable for small ball tactics.

The Supersonic's two swingers are accurate three-pointers and can open up space. Payton's pick-and-roll is a dislocation opportunity, and the breakthrough is sharp.

The Knicks won in the depth of the lineup, and Chris Childs also returned. There were no wounded in the team. The Supersonics could not stand the offense on the bench, and the Supersonics could not break the iron-clad defense built by Ben Wallace and Oakley.

It was a crucial victory, as the Knicks retained the league's top spot, while the Sonics were 29-7, one game behind the Lakers.

After the Knicks, the schedule was easier. Most of the opponents were underdogs, and they did not capsize in the gutter. Among them, the Raptors and the Celtics were victorious away.

On January 1, Yang Rui spent the New Year in the United States without any entertainment activities. He trained and played games with the team as usual.

The Knicks defeated the Bucks 122-115 at home, and while completing their revenge, they dedicated their fans to a wonderful offense battle.

"Big Dog" Robinson is still sharp, 39 points and 4 rebounds to blow up Bowen and Mills.

Ewing performed badly, playing 31 minutes and only had 14 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists.Fortunately, Houston and Starks stood up and scored 26 and 32 points respectively, leading the team to win.

Starks made 12 of 9 three-pointers and was unstoppable.Under normal conditions, he is a role player, and once he is drawn, God can't stop him.

The Knicks lead the league. Ewing was elected the best player in the Eastern Conference in January with his excellent record and stable data. In the MVP rankings, Ewing also ranked first ahead of Jordan.

The Bulls have a record of 31 wins and 15 losses. They have lost 3 more games on the premise of playing 10 more games than the Knicks. No matter how beautiful Jordan's data is and his record is so poor, the official can't award him the MVP unless the Bulls The second half of the record improved significantly.

The good news for the Bulls is that Pippen is finally back, in average form. On February 2, they lost to the Lakers 1-87 on the road. Pippen had only 112 points.On the Lakers side, 13 people scored 4+.

On the same day, the Knicks defeated the Heat 95-83 at home.

When the Knicks all pulled out the perimeter inside and didn't enter the penalty area to fight their muscles, the super defensive player Mourning was not so effective. The Knicks' strategy was to bypass him and attack the 183cm tall Tim Hardaway.

Veteran shooting guard Dan Marlier, who played in the finals with the Suns, is not as good as before.

On February 2, the Knicks defeated the Bucks on the road, then easily defeated the Timberwolves back-to-back with Garnett and Gugliotta absent, and ushered in the New York All-Star Weekend with a 3-game winning streak.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and finally got to rest.

Yang Rui followed the training and flew away to play games. He experienced the hardships of professional players. Coaching is relatively easy. He also felt very tired when flying everywhere. The happiest thing is to sleep in.

Players are hot and cold during training, and they are easy to catch a cold. Fortunately, it did not affect the record.

The players who played when they had a cold were powerful, but the cameras couldn't capture them. If they captured a clear picture of Johnson and Starks turning around and throwing their snot on the opponent's face, the fans would definitely be drunk.

Yang Rui also noticed that many players' toes are really deformed.

Everyone knows that the NBA is the hall of basketball, thinking that if you play casually, you can make a lot of money and win over countless fans.The hardships behind them are often overlooked.

What you can see is the injury on the field, what you can't see is even more admirable.

Players practice breakthroughs and jump shots every day, and their toes are subjected to various changes and gravity. Their toes are different from ordinary people. This may be the price behind the great success of a professional player.

Yang Rui also followed the training, the intensity is relatively low, and the figure is much better than when he was just reborn.

He has built a nice muscle, and when the season is over, he can go to the beach to show the mermaid line.
