When checking out of the hotel, Yang Rui specially chatted with the five people he selected and formulated a summer training plan for them. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In addition to Ben Wallace, the other four are all main shooters. Bowen only cares about the bottom corner on the right side, the others on either side and in the middle, and the longer the range, the better.

Flying back to New York that night, Yang Rui and Thibodeau went to the manager's office early the next morning to meet Ernie Grenfeld.

"Congratulations, you did a great job." Ernie shook hands vigorously with the two. "You may be seated."

After a few pleasantries, Ernie got down to business. "The bonus of 5,000 per person has been paid to the account."

Xibodeo was excited, Yang Rui was very happy, giving money was the most realistic reward, and now they are not rich. The Knicks are notoriously wealthy, and as long as they do a good job, the prize money is absolutely indispensable.

"Have you encountered any difficulties in this work? It can also be mentioned which player is most impressive. ”

Xibodu had a stomach to say, but he forcibly looked at Yang Rui and motioned for him to speak first. After this summer league, he completely gave up on the idea of competing for the first assistant coach.

Whether it is offensive layout or on-the-spot adaptability, Yang Rui is clearly better than Thibodeau, Van Gundy is a defensive expert, Thibodeau can not do much, he needs to keep a low profile.

Yang Rui smiled: "Tom and I have a very tacit cooperation, one attack and one defense, there is no difficulty. In terms of players, we unanimously recommend the starting five, all of whom have strengths and can help the team. Tom, is there anything you'd like to add? ”

"Summer league is gone, it's all about tactics, and we're just waiting to talk to Jeff." Thibodeau continued.

"It's September to talk about basketball, and you should enjoy the holidays now, and you can bring your family to the celebration party at the Blues Club the night after tomorrow." Ernie laughed.

The celebration was not a big fanfare, and the venue was a private clubhouse near Madison Square Garden, which belonged to the Dolan family and often hosted parties.

Ernie asked: "Jerry, tomorrow the cable sports reporter will have an exclusive interview with you, they will contact you by phone, you can decide the location of the interview, try to talk about some hot topics, don't be inhibited, so that more fans can know you." ”

Yang Rui thought to himself, if he was interviewed in the apartment, it would be a breaking point, 8 square meters for two people, it would not be as good as a student dormitory, but he and Thomas were ready to move out.

Thibodeau is very envious, the bonuses are the same, and the actual management is more optimistic about Yang Rui and is ready to use the team's resources to promote him.

Knicks owner James Dolan is a legend who has been an alcoholic and drug addict and is considered to have an unstable temper, and in 1993 he was admitted to a drug rehabilitation center for treatment. In his spare time, Dolan was very fond of music, and he once performed as a singer. At the same time, he is also a philanthropist and has a wide range of friends.

Dolan is the president of Madison Square Garden, president and CEO of American Cable Systems, and oversees the New York Knicks, the NHL New York Rangers, the WNBA New York Liberty, and the Connecticut Beluga of the Hockey League.

His own cable sports channel is facing the whole United States, and it is a matter of one sentence who Dolan wants to praise, and the Knicks did not announce that Yang Rui became an assistant coach before, because they wanted to spend some time to investigate, if his summer league performance was terrible, Dolan would not mind spending some liquidated damages to fire him, and then find an experienced assistant coach.

Now, Yang Rui has truly become a member of the Knicks team.

Yang Rui thought that it was a shameless thing to cry poor in front of the camera, and asked: "Manager, what is the breaking point?" Can you give an example? ”

Ernie thought for a moment and said with a smile: "It's an eye-catching topic, you can talk about the difficult process of getting your coaching certificate, and it doesn't matter if you have encountered racial discrimination, but don't forget to point out that there is no such thing in our team." ”

In the United States, racial discrimination is always the most "explosive", often making headlines, and there are countless lawsuits every year because of this kind of thing.

Yang Rui understands the team's idea, and uses his Chinese identity to hype, now there are more and more people watching the NBA in China, the economy is developing rapidly, and it is a big potential market.

The Knicks have always been very good at making money, even in Yang Rui's previous life, during the 2014-15 season, the Knicks had the worst record in team history with 17 wins and 65 losses, and they still generated nearly $300 million in revenue in a year, which is so amazing.

Coming out of the stadium, Yang Rui walked home as usual and exercised by the way. He was thinking about the interview all the way, and he didn't think there would be any explosions.

If it was the original Jerry, he would have told about the hardships he had suffered since he was a child, and he cried with a tearful nose. Yang Rui is different, he just accepts the memory, and he is like a bystander to those tragic experiences, with a deep understanding and a weak sense of substitution.

Even if he really feels miserable, there is no evidence at all for how those coaches sarcastically mocked him during the same period, and if the other party does not admit it in an interview, it will appear that he is a cautious person.

It's a real headache, can't he be interviewed and generously say, "Am I a genius?" "Whatever you say, people will see the results in the future.

Back at the apartment, Thomas, who went out to look for work, hasn't come back yet.

Yang Rui began to think about moving, and now he has more than 10,000 US dollars in his bank card, and he will have more income after the start of the new season, and he can rent a better apartment.

The phone rang, and Yang Rui reached out and picked up the microphone. "Hello."

On the other end of the phone was a man with a smoking, drinking, voice. "Hey, little mouse, we have a party tomorrow night, are you coming?"

Hearing this London voice, Yang Rui's soul, which he thought had disappeared, began to be restless, and many memories came to his heart uncontrollably.

The man's name was Archill Strachan, in his early thirties, of British descent, and Jerry's coach who graduated from a five-star basketball camp at the same time.

Jerry works part-time, in addition to attending classes, he also works as a waiter in a nearby restaurant, and it just so happens that the store Archer frequents, deliberately looking for Jerry's service, paying the normal amount of tips seems to give a great gift, sneering at every turn, and the sense of superiority breaks through the sky.

In China, many people like to advocate the gentlemanly demeanor of the British, but in Jerry's memory, the Britons he met were cheap and arrogant, always thinking about bullying people, all of which were bad in their bones.

Jerry was humiliated at the last party, which led to Yang Rui coming through, and this time Archer wanted to find superiority from him, and had a perverted habit of trampling on other people's dignity.

"Why don't you speak? It's not that you haven't found a job yet, so you're embarrassed to come, right? Dinner is complimentary. Achill asked proudly, "Or ...... We advised you last time, and you were angry? ”

"No, I don't want to miss the free dinner." A sneer appeared at the corner of Yang Rui's mouth. "How could I be angry? I'm a big-hearted person, and I don't have an overnight vendetta. ”

Achill only felt that "Jerry" was very thick-skinned, and he would rather be ridiculed for his meal, which was really strange.

Yang Rui's purpose is not to eat, but to find the "breaking point" of the news and a shortcut to fame.
