The Pope of Basketball Community

Chapter 65 [Be famous as soon as possible]

During the intermission, Yang Rui was attracted by something off the court, and Hong Kong star Anita Mui served as a guest performer in the rookie competition.

In his previous life, Anita Mui passed away more than ten years ago. Now that he sees a living person, he wants to go up and have a chat, but he can't casually go on stage.

Many reporters began to write articles and smelled big news. If the Eastern rookie continues to gain momentum, he will definitely break many records.

In the second half, the Eastern team really continued to play against the Western Conference.

The players in the East are super strong. Once they play tactics and don’t mess around, the West can’t defend at all. The off-ball screens of the guards and "Big Z" are enough for them. McGrady and Mercer hold the ball. dislocation.

The players in the Western Conference accelerated their pace, and their offense was better than in the first half, but they still couldn't defend.

Coach Kurt Rambis has tried his best. Even if the Lakers coach "Silver Fox" Del Harris comes, it is impossible to lead the Western rookies to win.

In the end, the Eastern Conference won 123 to 80, creating a rookie game scoring record for both sides, a halftime scoring record, a team scoring record in a single game, and a player scoring record in a single game.

McGrady won the MVP of the rookie game, which was beyond everyone's expectations. He has obvious physical advantages, guards can jump shots, inside defenses can break through, and can attract defenses to send assists. He played 33 minutes, made 13 of 18 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, 3 of 3 free throws, scored 31 points, 5 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks.

The second best performance was Ilgauskas, who scored a large double-double with 20 points, 17 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 blocks.

But McGrady dunked 4 times, the big windmill, looking back at the moon, and 2 lobs, wonderful, and the style of the game added points to him.

Billups, Van Horn, Thomas, and Mercer also played well, and six of the team scored in double figures.

Maurice Taylor, the highest scorer in the Western Conference, scored 22 points. Only four players in the team scored in double figures. On the surface, Taylor looks good, but he is actually a defensive colander on the court.

McGrady received the MVP trophy, and the first sentence of his speech was to ask: "Where is Jerry? He should receive the award with me. Without him, I would not be the MVP of the rookie game. From entering the league to now, my first Playing so much fun on the court once, I think he's the best coach."

After hearing this, Yang Rui immediately leaned forward and gave Mai Di a hug. He would never miss this opportunity to show his face.

McGrady was very excited and vented his grievances. He was about to cry when facing the camera.

McGrady was underestimated many times in the early days of his basketball career, and the underestimation began in high school.

Unlike Kobe, who was famous all over the United States in high school, McGrady was not very famous until he was 17 years old. When he was invited to participate in the Adidas ABCD training camp, he ranked 175th out of 190 players. By the end of that month-long training camp, Tracy McGrady had been ranked No. 1, and his talent on the court wowed NBA scouts.

Although he was only the ninth pick in the draft, this pick is relatively high for a high school player. You must know that Kobe was only ranked 13th in the 1996 draft. The Bulls want to trade him for Pippen, isn't that the best sure thing? As a result, when it came to the Raptors, coach Darnell Walker actually only let him be a substitute, a defensive blue-collar, playing 18 minutes per game.

McGrady even wanted to kill Walker. The reporter asked him to describe his feelings this season, and he complained.

"I played very little playing time in the Raptors. I could only do blue collar. I want to use the word 'hell' to describe my performance in the Raptors. I was very lonely in Toronto. There were no days of practice and games. Sleep at home, even sleep 20 hours a day."

The reporter asked: "Are you unhappy in the Raptors?"

"Of course, I don't understand why I can't be reused by the head coach with my talent. I hope that after the star weekend, he can assign me more offensive tasks instead of asking us to defend and then defend." McGrady The more I talk, the more excited I get.

The Raptors are indeed a defensive-oriented team, and no one can defend them, which is too ironic.

McGrady wants to escape from the Raptors very much now. He knows that Camby and Stoudemire have been arguing about transfers. The joint agent put pressure on the management, and he doesn't communicate much with the coach in the team. Walker stinks worse than stinky tofu in the team, so he dared to speak his mind.

Yang Rui was also interviewed.

The reporter asked: "Have you thought about playing such a rookie game before the game? You didn't know these 8 rookies before, but you guided them to play a wonderful offense."

Yang Rui said with a smile: "No, I know each of them before the game, understand their technical characteristics, and know how to help them play. The Knicks have very good scouts, I just need to spend a little time checking their profiles. "

Yang Rui is modest on the surface, but he actually said that he is good at analysis, even if he is not a player of his own team, he still understands. Not many coaches in the NBA dare to say that they can do this.

The reporter asked: "Which player do you like most?"

Yang Rui made a prediction: "I am most optimistic about Tracy, so let him play point forward. I believe he can do a good job. It is reported that the Bulls once wanted to trade him for Pippen. I think if they change, the Bulls will definitely not Nope. Tracy has great passing vision, near-perfect physical condition, and he's going to be a superstar in the future."

The reporter asked: "What about the others? What do you think?"

"They're all fantastic rookies, just gain game experience, work on their skills, and when they get to my age, I think some of them will be very strong and become stars."

"Haha." The black female reporter bent over with a smile while holding the microphone. This was a live interview, and she didn't hold back because of her rich experience. "Players become stronger when they reach your age, and you are the only coaches in professional basketball teams all over the world who can say this."

Yang Rui said with a smile: "Well, I'm lucky. My age gives me a sense of superiority. I need to be famous as soon as possible."

The reporter asked: "In the summer league and the rookie game, you have strengthened the team's offense. Even if the players don't have time to adapt, what is your trick?"

"It is my basketball philosophy to arrange tactics for the purpose of giving full play to the offensive strengths of each player. Unless the players of the whole team have no potential at all, can't run fast, jump high, or can't shoot, I can help them score." Yang Rui smiled.

The rookie game was broadcast live in multiple countries, and Yang Rui advertised himself frantically.

From leaving the arena to returning to the apartment, he was smiling all the way from ear to ear. This rookie game was very lucky. If he was allowed to coach the group in the West, he would definitely not be able to play so beautifully.

For the Raptors, manager Glenn Gruward and owner Richard Peddie watched the game and interviewed.

Peddie immediately called and made a decision: "Glenn, boldly poach Jerry Young in the summer, call him immediately after the season is over, regardless of whether the Knicks can win the championship, we have to decide on this person, show sincerity, and give him a high salary long appointment."

Glenn laughed: "He gave Tracy such a high opinion, I think he would be happy to come."
