Duncan scored 35 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists and 5 blocks, but still couldn't lead the team to win. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info he was in such good shape that he made a three-pointer in the middle. However, after 44 minutes of play, Duncan's physical strength declined in the final quarter, and his shooting percentage also dropped, shooting 11-of-24 from the field, 1-of-1 from three-point range, and 12-of-16 from the free-throw line.

He also missed a crucial free throw, and as long as that ball went in, Yang Rui didn't dare to let Boozer play so calmly.

Four Spurs scored in double figures, with veteran David Robinson scoring a double-double of 17 points and 10 rebounds.

Boozer became a hero, coming off the bench to play 25 minutes, shooting 6-of-10 and finishing with 12 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists; Stoudeyere also propped up the Wizards' interior line, with 22 points, 4 rebounds and 1 assist.

Jordan was in good shape, shooting 7-of-15, 1-of-1 from three-point range and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line to finish with 17 points, seven rebounds and three assists.

Six players on the Wizards team scored in double figures, and Alston also performed eye-catching off the bench, scoring 15 points and seven assists.

At the press conference, Popovich praised the players' performances, mentioning the reasons for the loss, Popovich said: "It was a good game and I'm very happy with the players. The reason for the loss, I think, was the last offense, the Wizards took a foul when they were leading and disrupted our rhythm, and even if Thiem made a free throw, they still had a chance to turn it around. ”

The reporter asked: "What do you think of Jerry Young's coaching?" ”

"He proved once again at the Wizards that ability has nothing to do with age, and he knows how to use a player's strengths to lead the team to win games. I don't think there are many coaches in the league who will arrange Boozer to shoot the ball, and this newcomer is very strong and lives up to the trust of the coach. ”

Yang Rui was interviewed and said with a smile: "I arranged this because I knew that Boozer had the strength to shoot the lore." Although he fell to the second round, was underrated in the draft, and had some problems on the defensive end, none of that could overshadow his strengths, and he was excellent offensively, able to run play, and able to play alone. ”

The journalist asked: "What heights do you think Boozer will be able to reach in the future?" ”

"I think he's going to be an All-Star. He's a fantastic player, he's serious in training and he's always improving. In the future, he may become a 20+10 insider. ”

In Yang Rui's previous life, few people mentioned Boozer's efforts, and after 2010, attentive fans found that his little finger had been severely bent and became an "S-shape", which made people's scalps tingle when they looked at it. But he still played in the NBA for many years, what a love for basketball?!

Well, Boozer's finger injury was actually caused by tripping over a bag at home......

Boozer attended the press conference and smiled a little horrified after knowing Yang Rui's evaluation, as if he had successfully planned a terrorist attack and was now going to issue a statement to take responsibility for the matter.

"I want to thank Jerry for his trust, and when I got to the second round of the draft, I was worried and I didn't know if I was going to get consistent playing time and prove myself because a lot of second-round rookies didn't get a contract," Boozer said. Jerry encouraged me on the first day of training camp and said that he would give me a lot of playing time and that I had a great time with the Wizards. ”

The reporter asked, "Do you think you can become an All-Star in the future?" ”

"Jerry said yes, he can, he's the best coach." Boozer laughed.

The next day, media analysis showed that Yang Rui had a good chance of winning the best coach award this season, and the Wizards were the team with the most improved records, and the other coaches were worse.

His biggest rival is Tom Thibodeau, who became the head coach of the Bulls, the Bulls have the second record in the East, just one game away from the Nets, and he has also led the team to a significant improvement, but the Bulls made the playoffs last season and are slightly inferior to the Wizards.

On Jan. 2, the Wizards lost 87-95 against the Bulls on the road.

Maddie single-handedly beat Jordan and let Bell go to the main defense, Maddie can score directly on the pull, and he only struggles against Gerald Wallace a little bit and will find a pick-and-roll to get rid of.

In the interior competition, Brand has the upper hand in the face of Stadamire, Lightner, and Boozer, and can shoot in the middle of the offensive end and play in the low post. He is like a 203CM center, defending the penalty area, and changing defenses is also excellent.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Brand has always been unpopular, and it is difficult to be selected for the All-Star Game. Now Brand's popularity has increased significantly, the Eastern Conference All-Star vote is at the top, and there are many people who are optimistic that he will be selected to the All-Defensive Team.

Although he is short, he has a lot of strength and outstanding defensive efficiency, averaging 20.1 points, 10.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1 steal and 2.2 blocks per game.

In Yang Rui's previous life, the Trailblazer's Rashid Wallace should have been highly rated, and Chinese magazines also listed him as one of the four big forwards, and now O'Neal Jr., Brand, Nowitzki are rising, plus several long-established power forwards, Rashid's strength is not in the top five.

Artest is the Bulls' top defensive player on the outside, and backup guard Crawford has improved significantly and is already the Bulls' best sixth man. The team is only inferior at the No. 1 position, but even so, it has the strength to win the championship, because Thibodeau doesn't need a point guard playmaker, and Lynch Hunter is tasked with running to catch the ball and shoot.

After beating the Pacers at home and the Celtics on the road, the Wizards lost 99-104 at home to the Golden State Warriors on the 8th.

Although the Warriors are outside the playoffs, they have beaten the league's top teams many times this season, and their inconsistent and poor play is entirely due to the fact that there is a scrap wood coach Eric Musselman.

The Warriors' lineup, Yang Rui felt very promising after seeing it, but under Eric's coaching, it was a mess.

Arenas, the point guard who fell to the second round of the 2001 draft, averaged 18.3 points, 4.7 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game, and power forward Antoine Jamison averaged nearly 20+10 per game; Small forward Jason Richardson is not only good at dunking, but also good at shooting and breaking, averaging 15.6 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3 assists per game.

Interior center Troy Murphy is soft, but he also has a knack, shooting beyond the three-point line and being able to pull away from the basket. He is paired with Jamison, who is poor defensively and gives opponents a headache when attacking.

Moreover, the weakness of poor interior defense can be solved, because the Warriors also have blue-collar center Eric Dampier, who is excellent at resisting people and grabbing rebounds and blocks. HE IS 211CM TALL AND WEIGHS 120 KG, AND HE WILL NOT BE EASILY BEATEN BY O'Neill alone.

The team's bench also includes high-pick rookie Mike Dunleavy and well-rounded Bob Sula, and the Warriors' salary is skyrocketing, but such a roster depth is only ranked 11th in the West, which is amazing enough.

On January 10, the Wizards played the Bulls again at home, but this time the Wizards still couldn't break through the Bulls' defense, losing 88-101.

Yang Rui began to have a headache, this opponent was also created by him, if Maddie hadn't won the championship ring, he wouldn't have chosen the Bulls, Thibodeau became stronger after following him for a few years, this is a strong team that has not appeared in a previous life, and has more potential than the Nets.

Although the Nets have the No. 1 record, the weakness of the lack of super scorers is still there, and the playoffs are a hidden danger.

Thibodeau has received a high rating, and many teams are currently eyeing D'Antoni, who is only on a one-year contract with the Wizards.

Among the Eastern Conference playoff teams, Thibodeau and Jeff Van Gundy have both worked with Yang Rui, and teams that are preparing to rebuild feel that D'Antoni's level is certainly not far behind. A new term has appeared on the Internet, called "Jerry Department Coach"! They are characterized by three-point playmaking, playmaking forwards, and fast breaks.

Which player has a future in the future, Yang Rui remembers it very clearly, but which teams will be the strongest teams in the league, Yang Rui is almost unable to see clearly.
