Chapter 633 [Historical status, holiday plan]
Yang Rui and Yao Ming are the most beautiful people this season, and there are reports about them all over the world.
Yang Rui won the eighth championship ring in his career. As a head coach, he has seven. The number of rings has tied Auerbach. Almost everyone thinks that he is the first coach in NBA history.
The most terrifying thing is that he is only 35 years old this year, and he is still very young. Many players have not retired at the age of 35.
Countless Los Angeles fans keep Yang Rui, hoping that he will continue to lead the Lakers to win the championship. Even if Kobe is not pleasing to the eye, don’t leave Los Angeles. It’s good to coach the Clippers.
As for where to go next, Yang Rui is thinking about it and will not make a statement for the time being.
Chinese fans mainly discuss Yao Ming's historical status, four championship rings, one regular season MVP, and two finals MVPs. There is no insider in active service ahead of him, not only centers, but also power forwards.
Duncan in this time and space currently only has two championships, one regular season MVP and two finals MVPs.
Olajuwon also won two championships, one regular season MVP and two finals MVPs.He won two MVPs and Defensive Player of the Year in the same season. There is only such a person in history, but his number of championships is not as good as Yao Ming's, and his historical status cannot be ranked too high.
The other three centers, Shaquille O'Neal, Ewing, and Robinson, all have only one championship, and the difference is even further. This means that Yao Ming's historical position is better than that of the four centers in the 90s.
Going forward, Chamberlain has four regular-season MVPs, one Finals MVP, and two championships.
Although Chamberlain has a personal ability that surpasses all his contemporaries, he met the Celtics in the playoffs eight times, and lost seven of them. After the cooperation, they won the second championship.As one of the greatest basketball stars in history, it is absolutely a shame to lead the team to lose to the same opponent 7 times, so he can't rank ahead of Yao Ming.
In the end, people came to the conclusion that only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Russell had more honors in the inside, ranking ahead of Yao Ming.
This makes Chinese fans very proud. Even if Yao Ming retires directly after the contract expires, his historical status will be firmly in the top ten in the NBA and the top three in the center.There will be no strong man catching up in the short term, and everyone knows that Howard is a blue collar.
Kobe has more rings than Yao Ming, with 5 rings, but no one knows how to exclude his historical status. He took this ring while lying down this year.
In Yang Rui's previous life, Pippen had six championship rings, a period of time, a defense, a top small forward, but unfortunately his teammate is Jordan, he can only be the second leader, no one has ever thought that Pippen's historical status can enter the top ten in the league.
So the question is, without Pippen, Jordan never won a championship, without Kobe, the Lakers won the playoffs, what role did Kobe play in the team?
On the Internet, the comedians have disappeared, no one has come forward to whitewash the idols, and they will be ridiculed by the crowd as soon as they post.
The Lakers returned to Los Angeles, and everyone was happy, except Kobe Bryant.
The Lakers management was also embarrassed. They invited Kobe to participate in the championship parade and the championship party, but Kobe didn’t want to participate. He didn’t know how to face his teammates, coaches, fans and the media.
If you make him laugh, he will definitely not be able to laugh; if he participates in the championship parade with a stinky face, it will be more troublesome. The reporter will definitely question, does he not want the Lakers to win the championship?
And according to the news, he suffered a serious knee injury. Do he still need to use crutches to participate in the parade?
In the end, Kobe did not participate in the championship party and championship parade, which provided good material for the media. According to news analysis, Kobe is likely to jump out of the contract in the summer, become a free agent, and leave the Lakers.
After the parade, the Lakers management met immediately. They all knew that the situation in the summer was very serious and something had to be done to make the Lakers have the strength to compete for the championship next season.
The contracts of the five champions Odom, Millsap, Posey, Dunter Jones and James Jones have all expired.And with the exception of Millsap, those four were all free men.
In the playoffs, Millsap averaged 14.4 points, 8 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game, shooting 52.3% from the field and grabbing 4 offensive rebounds per game.Based on this data, it is not surprising that some teams are willing to dig people at a premium, bet on his potential, and offer an annual salary of tens of millions.Between Odom and Millsap, the Lakers can only keep one.
Millsap is younger, and he is good at offensive rebounds and is suitable for partnering with Kobe, but his relationship with Kobe has gone wrong, and I'm afraid he doesn't want to stay.
Lamar Odom is more comprehensive, but he is 30 years old this year, and his private life is a bit chaotic, and his state may decline at any time. Renewing his contract is a risk.
In addition, Iguodala, who averaged 17+4+4 per game in the playoffs, is already a well-known star swinger in the league.He also had a conflict with Kobe in terms of ball rights. He signed a long-term contract with a high salary last year. I don’t know if he wants to stay. If Kobe plays like that again next season, the locker room may not be clean.
The most headache for the management is the relationship between Kobe and Yao Ming.
Yao Ming was so strong in the playoffs that if Kobe would grab the ball as soon as he came back, play like he did in previous seasons, and make Yao Ming second in charge, even if Yao Ming was willing to sacrifice data, the Chinese fans would not agree.
On the contrary, let Yao Ming be the first core of the team and Kobe as the second leader, just like the OK combination period, Kobe will definitely not be happy.
If both of them have privileges, the role players are likely to want to leave. The regular season will definitely be like last season. There will be no chance to play, and no data will be recorded.With a champion, who wants to be a role player and take the blame for a star?
The Lakers seem to be beautiful, but they are actually full of contradictions. In the summer, they have to find a strong swingman in the free market, otherwise the strength of the bench will drop a lot.
After the meeting, Jim Buss and Jenny Buss had the same idea for a rare time. They were going to connect Kobe and Yao together in the summer. As long as they have a good relationship, the "drug combination" will not be separated, and the Lakers will be a super strong team. .
They all believe that without Yang Rui, the "drug-addicting combination" can lead the Lakers to compete for the championship next season. After Yao Ming is renewed, it is not impossible to build a dynasty again.
The Lakers have experienced the "OK combination" disbanding, and they don't want to hand over the good situation to others because of star conflicts.
What will happen to the Lakers in the future, Yang Rui doesn't care. After the championship party, he greeted all the players and left, wishing them better and better in the future.
Immediately, many teams called Yang Rui's agent, John O'Connor, and expressed their willingness to invite him to coach with a record-breaking salary in NBA history.
These team owners have found out that signing Yang Rui is equivalent to having a cooperation with Facebook, and it is too worthwhile to treat Yang Rui as an advertising fee.
Yang Rui said in an interview that he left the Lakers because it was too easy to win the championship, so many bad teams saw hope of rising.Now Yang Rui is a golden sign. As long as he joins, it is easy to poach players in the summer free market, killing two birds with one stone.
Afraid that the phone call would not be sincere enough, some people even organized a group to Los Angeles to meet with Yang Rui, promising various benefits, which made Yang Rui impatient.
He wanted to be on a bad team, but small cities weren't on his mind at all.
For example, Michael Jordan's Bobcats seem to be less popular in Charlotte than NCAA's North Carolina Blue Devils.
He simply held a press conference in Los Angeles and made it clear that he would not be coaching any team next season.
"I'm going to take a year off, I don't want to work, I just want to play. Right now my plan is to take the Serenity to go around the Pacific Ocean and see the Mediterranean Sea. Then I'll play golf, play poker, maybe play pool, Tennis games. And eating everywhere, tasting food from all over the world, without making Scarlett fat back."
