Chapter 881 [The situation is grim, bad luck]

The star coach is not re-elected, Yang Rui is at home on weekends, and he is more tired than usual.

Looking at the lineup, you can see that the West will win without a coach at all. They have three big men who can pick and roll and attack the low post. The most resistant player in the East is Millsap, who is 201cm tall. How does this play?
As expected, the West won 192-182. Anthony Davis, who scored 52 points and 10 rebounds, won the MVP. He played only 31 minutes and made 39 of 26 shots without free throws.

效率更离谱的是维斯布鲁克，出场19分钟，26投16中，三分球13中7，罚球2中2，得到41分5篮板7助攻。

In this star game, the two sides kept running fast breaks, three-pointers and dunks, and there was no defense at all.The funniest scene was an offense from the East. Curry returned to the defense and fell to the ground early to play dead. The opponent passed by him and dunked easily.

Without Zach LaVine, the Slam Dunk Contest didn't shine, and Star Weekend was rated as boring.

Last season's runner-up, Aaron Gordon, didn't play well and was eliminated in the preliminaries; Jordan did his best, and such a big man came as a background; as for Jones and Robinson, they all made a fuss about their crotch.Changing hands under the crotch, stacking Arhats under the crotch, crossing one person, crossing two people, crossing three people... It's more interesting to see the crossover singer.

In the second half of the regular season, the Clippers continued to maintain their strength. Not only did the starting trident perform steadily, but the backup LaVine also broke out.

Yang Rui often arranges double-back tactics, and also gave LaVine the ball in the second quarter. He played 30.4 minutes, and the data increased to 16.3 points, 2.8 rebounds and 3 assists.

Curry attracts defense, and LaVine looks for off-the-ball cover moves from the side, making it easier to get shots.He lived up to expectations, shooting 41.7 percent from three.In his previous life in the Timberwolves, LaVine's three-point shooting rate did not reach [-]%, because his shot selection was poor and he shot against people. Now he often gets easy shots.

If he played at this level earlier, LaVine might also have been selected as an All-Star. He has a high popularity, and every game has fans holding slam dunk contest score cards, waiting to rate him.

Yang Rui intends to help LaVine brush the data, to send him away for the summer, and to increase his playing time in the second half, in order to prevent him from being selected as an All-Star.Once a player is in the All-Star Game twice, he qualifies for a raise, and it doesn't matter if he only gets one.

In this way, after being sent away in the summer, the opponent can let LaVine play to the fullest, and he does not have to worry about the super-high salary in order to keep people when he enters the All-Star Game. He will have more transaction value.

LaVine gets the ball, and Devin Booker has to rest as a small substitute.

Fortunately, Booker has no complaints, because his defense is really bad, and he needs to spend time with Danny Green to learn defensive skills and improve his strength.His teammates' attack power is super strong, and it is impossible for him to get unlimited shots.Booker has no idea how far he can do it in the NBA.

Yang Rui never thought of making Booker the core of the team, but to cultivate it as the sixth man, which is also the role he used to play in college.As long as he does not leave in the future, the upper limit will be Ginobili, which is very beneficial to the Clippers.

The Clippers have never encountered major injuries again. Except for Curry and Antetokounmpo, the players have played less than 30 minutes. Even if Draymond Green plays a great role on the defensive end, he only played 29.5 minutes per game.

Zhou Qi played 6 games for the Clippers, all of which were garbage time to exercise, and his performance was a mess. He averaged 1.4 points per game and hit 6 goal in 1 three-pointers.

The only good news is that Zhou Qi's data in the NBDL is not bad, averaging 16.1 points, 7 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.5 blocks per game.Three young players from China came to represent the Minions this year, and the four compatriots will actively cooperate.

However, the Minions have a bad record in the NBDL. They lose more and win less. Those three statistics are average, and they can't play in the NBA.

In the summer, some Chinese fans said that although the overall tactical literacy of CBA is poor, it is also a tactical master in the face of an unpopular league such as NBDL, and it will definitely win.

In the eyes of some fans, what is the level of NBDL?The league with an average annual salary of 2 to 3 is incomparable to the big players in the CBA. It must be a wild team composed of players with rough skills and no tactical cooperation.

As a result, Chinese potential players were crushed when they arrived at the NBDL, including Zhou Qi's confrontation. Many people in the NBDL are unwilling to give up basketball after graduating from college, and they are not selected in the draft. There are many powerful people.

The Chinese Basketball Association has clearly seen how serious the situation of Chinese basketball is. The national team played well in those days because Yao Ming was the backbone. If Yao Ming does not play, the men's basketball team may lose in Asia. In 2011, they lost to the Sri Lanka Cup. Russian university students.

Because of Zhou Qi's poor performance and the poor performance of the men's basketball team, Chinese fans are even more grateful to Yang Rui for everything he has done for the Chinese basketball world.If it develops for a few more years according to the CBA method of cultivating new players, the men's basketball team may lose its Asian dominance.

4月12日，快船主场135比101大胜火箭结束了常规赛，最终战绩70胜12负。

The winning percentage is far lower than last season, and the Clippers are also the first in the league, with 70 wins again.In fact, it is hard to say that they are qualified to get this kind of result. The players are just showing off in the regular season.

Not only the players, but also Yang Rui's mood was relaxed. For five consecutive championships, their nerves could not be tense.Yang Rui just warned the players to not play so casually in the playoffs, and to actively cooperate to reduce unreasonable shots.

The Spurs ranked second in the West with 61 wins. Popovich’s record is still stable, and the lineup has not changed much.

In the second half of the Mavericks, Dirk Nowitzki and Paul were injured and missed 24 and 21 games respectively. The starting center Noel was injured in the middle period, and he could only rely on the veteran Pachulia to start, and the team's record plummeted.

In the end, the Mavericks only made 53 wins, ranking third in the West.

This time Adam Silva is depressed again. He wants to hold James and let the Mavericks and Clippers compete.Now that James is going to win the MVP, his record is very unconvincing, and the data is also questionable. 26.4 points, 8.6 rebounds, 6.8 assists and 1.2 steals are beautiful, but his free throw shooting rate has hit a career low, only 67.4%.

James' PER also dropped significantly, ranking seventh in the league ahead of eighth Curry at 26.3.Embarrassingly, ahead of him is the Cavaliers' younger brother Isiah Thomas last season, with an efficiency of 26.5.

There are more people who think that James has abandoned his teammates. Although the Mavericks teammates were not injured by him, the data also declined collectively.

Paul's transformation is particularly obvious. He attempted 5 three-pointers, hit 2, and hit a career high of 41.1%. He averaged 18.1 points, 4.3 rebounds and 8.1 assists per game, and the number of assists hit a new low since his rookie season.

As soon as Paul and James shared the ball, both assists dropped, and some adjustments had to be made for each other.

The 4-8 in the West are the Jazz, Grizzlies, Kings, Rockets, and Thunder.

Harden got rid of Kardashian's defense and performed very well this season, but the Rockets' overall lineup was not strong. Bosh was reimbursed for the season due to thrombosis, and Howard joined the Eagles. He only relied on Harden and Gordon's double guns in the backcourt. generally.

The Jazz have become a dark horse. They joined Chandler Parsons, Joe Johnson, and George Hill last summer. Center Rudy Gobert has made significant progress. Hayward has played steadily and has a good overall strength.

9-15 are Warriors, Nuggets, Trail Blazers, Pelicans, Lakers, Timberwolves, Suns.

Conley signed a super contract, but was unable to lead the Warriors to the playoffs.The Lakers suffered injuries in the second half, Russell and Embiid were sidelined, and their record plummeted, failing to make the playoffs.

Experts predict that it is still difficult for other teams in the West to threaten the Clippers, and they have the best chance of entering the finals.
