The Pope of Basketball Community

Chapter 17 - [Full score]

   The game ended, 106 to 83, the Knicks won the summer league championship.

  The players walked together to shake hands. The players who play well and the role players are in a completely different mood, so weird scenes occur. Many people smile bitterly and do not look like they are celebrating the championship.

   The organizer conducted a simple award ceremony, and the champion and MVP all have trophies.

  Yang Rui took the trophy and gave it to Thibodeau after looking at it. Thibodeau was very happy. Guess the two would definitely have a lot of bonuses when they went back. This victory will give them a firm foothold in the coaching staff.

   Thibodeau is old and needs a stable job. He does not want to live a bumpy life. The Knicks are a good choice.

   He couldn’t help raising the trophy and shouted twice, and found that Yang Rui didn’t react very much, and embarrassment was committed again.

  Why do you look more like a young man? !

  Chucky Atkins was elected MVP of the Summer League, averaging 24.5 points, 2 rebounds and 4.3 assists. As the team’s top scorer, his stats are very beautiful.

   But if Yang Rui chooses, he will give MVP to Ben Wallace, averaging 9.2 points, 19.7 rebounds, 1.5 steals, 5 blocks and 6 fouls, which is even more amazing.

  Because the Summer League rules are sent off after 10 fouls, Big Ben has played magic data. According to the standard of the regular season, he will be sent off per game, which is probably the reason why he was not selected.

   He showed a fierce defense, which is a playoff level. His opponents who are hitting are crooked. Many **** will not blow in the NBA. Here is the blow. Joining the Knicks, Big Ben is more useful.

  Sports reporters who understand the ball think the same way, the reporter of “Hoop World” interviewed Omoto. “You have played well this league and are the defensive pillar of the team. Do you have any thoughts about winning the championship?”

  Omoto said excitedly: “Defense is my job. I feel very good. I can run freely on the court. I can block and rebound. I want to thank the coach for trusting me.”

   The reporter asked: “Do you think you will get the Knicks contract? Will your height be a hindrance?”

“Hopefully, I’m fully prepared. I don’t think height is a hindrance. Charles Oakley’s size is not high. Bravery is more important in the inside. I have seen many Charles games. He is a great defender. I Keep trying to learn something from him.”

   Big Ben and Oakley have known for a long time, regard Oakley as the big brother, which is why he especially wants to join the Knicks. He didn’t want to say this in front of the media, unless one day he was famous.

   Yang Rui was taking photos with the players and was about to return to the dressing room. He was stopped by a blonde female reporter.

   “Hello, I am a reporter from the Los Angeles Sports Channel. May I delay you for a while?”

   “Of course.” Yang Rui smiled.

   The cameraman pointed the lens at him, Yang Rui was a little nervous. Facing the camera alone is different from sitting on the sidelines and coaching.

   “How old are you this year? What’s your name?”

   “23 years old, Jerry Yang.”

   The female reporter was amazed and asked in surprise: “You became an assistant coach of the Knicks at the age of 23, and led the team to achieve good results. May I ask how it is done? Is there any secret?”

   “Tom Thibodeau and I went to the management for an interview and discussed basketball tactics, and then we stayed together. This is not the secret, but the strength.” Yang Rui said with a smile, it was very simple.

   female reporters felt that he was extremely high-profile and extremely confident.

   “What do you want to say about the Knicks?”

   “When he joined the Knicks, Jeff Van Gundy was a young coach. Now he continues the tradition of paying attention to the talents of the Knicks regardless of age. I am very grateful to him and the management for giving me the opportunity to prove myself.”

  Female reporter asked: “How many points do you give yourself this summer league?”

   “Full score.” Yang Rui smiled.

   If humility is too hypocritical, he gave himself a low score. What about the coaches of those teams who lost to the Knicks? Can only be fired?

  The reporter asked: “Where do you think you will go in the future? After the NBA regular season starts, are you confident to help the team play well?”

   “Of course, I will work with other coaching staff to help Jeff and arrange the best tactics for the stars.”

   The interview soon ended. The assistant coaches were rarely interviewed. Only Chinese-Americans like Yang Rui or the future Spurs female coaches would have exposure opportunities.

  Yang Rui is satisfied, there should be a lot of audiences on the Los Angeles Sports Channel, which will increase his popularity, and there are only a handful of people with this honor at the beginning of his career.

   The most shocking thing now is not the fans, but two classmate friends of Thomas Bentley. The “Jerry” they used to ignore, led the Knicks to the summer championship, and there was a reporter interview after the game.

  Ilf-Rosenborg’s eyes almost stared out, like the framed rabbit Roger. The game was broadcast live on Los Angeles sports, Thomas called them to watch.

  His girlfriend, Hannah McFarlin, was also a student at Columbia University and asked, “Am I dreaming? That humble guy actually became an NBA coach, and his age broke the record?”

  Ilf is in a state of coercion, and I don’t know what to say, UU reading www. uukanshu.com Yang Rui’s rise is harder than winning the lottery. Thomas let them watch TV, just like slapping them with actions. In the future, don’t let dogs look low, it’s too shameless.

   At this time, the phone rang.

   Hannah picked it up, it was Thomas who called.

   “Hey, say to you, now I am going to New York to develop with Jerry, you will not persuade me?” Thomas flaunted proudly over the phone.

   “He is a coach, you are a finance, even in New York, you can’t cooperate, why do you insist?” Hannah smiled bitterly.

   “You are my good friends. I have known each other for more than 4 years. I have known Jerry for 23 years. I have been a family since I remembered. Will you leave the only family in New York and develop in Los Angeles?”

   Hannah was silent. She had no reason to be dissatisfied. In the past, she only felt that Jerry was dragging her legs, which made Thomas’ quality of life decline. Now that the other party is an NBA coach, what can you say as a friend? This kind of cattle has no harm in knowing.

  Ilf beckoned and answered the phone. “Tom, if you want to go to New York, when you come to Los Angeles, call Jerry to play together, don’t forget us when you develop.”

   “Of course I will not forget.”

   “You must be cautious when investing, and if you have any difficulties, just call.” Ilf said.

   “I won’t be polite with you.” Thomaston smiled and said, “Don’t engage in such a heavy atmosphere, maybe, we also have the opportunity to cooperate and do something. I will definitely start a company if I have the money.”

   “Do you think I like to work for someone? Not necessarily who will start the company first.” Yilf hummed.

  Thomas ended the internship the day before yesterday, chatted a few times on the phone, and was ready to fly back to New York with Yang Rui.
