The Pope of Basketball Community

After the players took a shower, a few players with the best statistics went to the interview room with Yang Rui. Everyone's backs were straight and majestic.

The Celtics got a good start, and the reporters approached Yang Rui one after another in order to dig up news.

After working for the Knicks for a season, Yang Rui has never seen a reporter so enthusiastic. As an assistant coach, it is impossible for him to get the most credit for winning the game. Now it is different.

As soon as Yang Rui sat down, the reporters began to ask: "Jerry Yang, this is your first game coaching the Raptors. Did you expect to win a big victory before the game?"

"Of course I didn't expect it. I still can't believe it." Yang Rui narrowed his eyes and said quietly: "You know, before the start of the game, the legendary coach Butch Carter with a career record of 5 wins and 28 losses said in an interview, The Raptors are a lousy team, the management signed me out of nonsense, and being looked down upon by celebrities like this, we are under a lot of pressure."

Mingsu, your sister! The reporters were stunned, and the people standing there were shooting wildly, big news.

Rather offend a gentleman than a villain. Yang Rui's heart is really not very broad, he holds grudges. No matter who provokes him, he must be prepared to be ridiculed back.

A reporter asked: "So what do you think of Butch Carter?"

Yang Rui replied: "I think he will replace Pitino as the head coach and general manager of the Celtics in the future. Because he is very assertive, only that status is worthy of him. I only chatted with him once. , He easily refuted all my tactics and basketball ideas, I only have one word for him, strong!"

The photographer shot wildly again.

One person asked: "So, is Butch leaving the Raptors because it doesn't agree with your philosophy?"

"Don't be kidding, the manager Glenn and I almost knelt down together to keep this old man, but he insisted that the Raptors are too bad and not worthy of him, so he resigned. Glenn cried all night, do you believe it?" Yang Rui said seriously, and finally couldn't hold back, and smiled. "Haha, well, don't believe it, there really isn't one."

The reporters fainted collectively again. Young people are really different. They dare to say anything and are not afraid of offending others.

This is from a different perspective. Yang Rui thinks that Butch Carter is really bold. An assistant coach with no skills, joining a team like the Celtics that can't make the playoffs, feels like hugging his thigh. What? Dare to say.

The opponent has no scruples, is he afraid of a ball?

The reporter asked: "Who is the core of the Raptors' tactics?"

"Vince Carter, I will train him to be a superstar, he has the potential." Yang Rui replied.

The reporter asked: "What height do you think he can reach?"

Yang Rui smiled and said: "If the peak Jordan is the god of basketball, Vince will at least be half-human and half-god in the future."

After Carter participated in the slam dunk contest in 2000, he was called "Halfmanhalfamazing" in the United States, which translates to "half man, half god" in Chinese, which means that Carter flies high. Yang Rui threw out the nickname in advance.

It's only a year in advance, it's no big deal, this nickname is a fortress, and Carter will definitely not blame him.

The reporters all gasped, it was big news again.

The Raptors' victory over the Celtics is not news, but what Yang Rui said was full of gags. This is the highest compliment a rookie can get.

Yang Rui didn't put pressure on Carter, but wanted him to have a clear goal. This time Carter's defensive performance was a bit poor. In the future, Yang Rui will use Jordan to talk about him, and maybe he can correct his defensive attitude. With Carter's physical fitness, as long as he is willing to defend, he will not be far behind.

The reporter asked: "Can you comment on the other players who came to the press conference?"

"Of course, who to start with?"

The reporter asked, "Kevin Willis."

"He is still very young, and his competitive status is not much different from that of young people. I am optimistic that he will play until he is 45 years old, and he still has 8 or 9 years of professional career.

"Yang Rui laughed.

Looking at it now, many people will think it was a joke. When things happen, there will be people who will admire Yang Rui's vision.

"What about Tracy McGrady? Except for the rookie game last season, he didn't perform particularly well. Today he scored comprehensive statistics."

"I will focus on training him this season. He can become a comprehensive attacker and an All-Star player. His potential is also very great." Yang Rui replied.

The reporter asked: "Where's Jermaine O'Neal? Many people thought that the Raptors suffered a great loss in exchanging Camby for him in the summer."

"He was actually proposed by me in exchange. His potential is far superior to Camby's, and his tactical role is not comparable to Camby's. In the Trail Blazers, he is just a marginal player. With me, he will become an All-Star player in the future."

Good guy, it's only been a while, you have three All-Stars on your team, are you crazy?

Many reporters felt this way, the atmosphere on the scene became more enthusiastic, and high-profile people became more topical.

The reporter asked: "Today the camera caught you eating snacks on the sidelines. No coach has ever done this before. What do you think?"

"I was too nervous when I first became the head coach. I usually rely on eating to relax and decompress myself."

lie! I have never seen a more relaxed trainer than you! The female reporter who asked the question was shocked again.

The reporter asked: "What is the goal of the Raptors this season?"

"I personally hope to reach the playoffs, but it is very difficult. The management has not set a goal, so we are playing happily now, and we will wait and see. If the Raptors are at the bottom in the end, it is because there are too many newcomers and lack of experience. It's normal. If you accidentally make it to the playoffs, then everyone should work harder and take the holiday later."

I wipe it, that's okay too. The reporters were all startled. I have never seen a coach answer the target question so playfully.

A reporter asked: "With your basketball... concept, do you not take the game too seriously?"

Yang Rui said lightly: "I think attitude is the most important thing in this world. No matter what you do, only when a person is convinced that it is valuable or meaningful can he experience happiness from it and develop a positive attitude. "

He suddenly said something meaningful, and the reporters were all quiet.

Yang Rui smiled slightly, "Conversely, if a person does not experience happiness in work or activities, he will have a negative attitude. For me, being a coach is very happy, and it can make every cell in the body scramble for action. So, I coach the Raptors, everyone is happy is the most important thing, we also have to work hard to make the fans happy."

The reporters were stunned.

People like Sloan, Riley, Chuck Daly, and Larry Brown think that whether basketball training or games are boring, hard, and painful, where is there any happiness? ! Only the blood of a soldier can win.

Unless their team wins the championship, there is no happiness, only oppression. Because of this, many players will go on strike to demand high salaries, and most people feel that playing is not easy.

Yang Rui's remarks run counter to the iron-blooded philosophy of old-school coaches.
