The Pope of Basketball Community

Chapter 268 [The legendary king is all due to me]

Yang Rui felt so happy that all the hard work was worth it at this moment.

The last time he won the championship in New York, he was just an assistant coach and the credit does not fall on him. This time is different, he is the protagonist of the team. In Toronto, he will become the city's hero!

The only fly in the ointment is that Yang Rui's girlfriend Stana Katic did not come to the scene to win the championship in an away game, and only his friend Thomas Bentley came to support.

Thomas walked onto the court and gave Yang Rui a hug. "I feel like you are an alien now. You have set another record. I am so proud of you."

"I'm proud of you too. You are the man who suppresses Microsoft in the IT industry." Yang Rui smiled.

"It's not me, it's us." Thomas lightly punched him in the chest.

Owner Richard Peddy and manager Glenn Gruwald also hugged Yang Rui one by one.

Richard said excitedly: "Jerry, thank you, thank you for everything you have done for the Raptors."

"Yes, we will defend the title together next season." Yang Rui said with a smile.

The happiest person on the coaching staff was not Yang Rui, but Mike D'Antoni. He hugged his family excitedly with tears in his eyes.

Last year he had two options, one was to be an assistant coach with the Raptors, and the other was to be a scout for the Spurs for a year. Of course he wants to be a Spurs scout in order to get two defensive moves from **Vicci, make up for his own shortcomings, and strive to be the head coach again in the future. But he prefers to win the ball offensively and wants to take the fast break route.

After discussion, his family supported D'Antoni in doing what he liked and were willing to accompany him to live in Toronto. Only then did he make up his mind and sign a three-year contract.

Now he is glad that he has not lost himself or denied his basketball philosophy. The Raptors' success convinced him that

You can win in the NBA by focusing on offense. Moreover, he also played defense in the Raptors.

The players are very excited, especially Carter. He knows that he will soon become the king of crosses. Not many players in the NBA have won double MVPs in a single season.

Detlef-Schrempf was laughing and shouting like crazy.

After leaving Yin, when other teams were unwilling to give him a high salary, he felt that his career was hopeless. He joined the Raptors just to get a big contract to provide for his retirement. When he was young, he had always been low-paid and high-powered, and he didn't make much money.

As a result, he won a championship ring at the end of his career, but Gary Payton, who was fighting with the NBA, could only struggle for a playoff spot.

Detrev is preparing to retire this summer. His competitive form has declined and he wants to rest.

Hornacek also had the same idea. Among the three Jazz veterans, he was the only one to successfully realize his dream. He was a little scared. If Yang Rui didn't visit Salt Lake City, he would definitely miss this opportunity and regret it for the rest of his life.

McGrady's smile was very light. What he was thinking was that he could leave the Raptors in the summer without any regrets and go to a big city team to pursue a maximum salary and core benefits.

People's ambitions will continue to expand. At first, McGrady just wanted to be an ordinary star. Now he wants to see where his strength can reach if he has privileges. He doesn't want to spend his whole life like Pippen.

If the Raptors were located in big cities like Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago, he could still stay to build a dynasty. But the Raptors are in Toronto...who wants to stay in Canada until they retire?

Christie is a completely free agent and is concerned about his summer contract. Although his statistics are average, he has completed his defensive tasks and is on a championship team, so he should be able to get a big contract.

As for whether to leave or stay, and which team to go to, Christie can't make the decision. He has to listen to his wife.

Billups has never thought about leaving. He only hopes that the management can provide a decent contract and get more ball rights next season. If any teammates leave, he has a high chance of being promoted.

After a while, the players put on their championship hats and president David Stern presented the championship trophy.

Carter excitedly received the trophy and gave his MVP acceptance speech. Most of the home fans chose to stay. Here, Carter also enjoys high popularity.

Carter: "I am a lucky player. If I had not joined the Raptors, I don't think I would have stood on the NBA championship podium so soon. Winning the championship is the result of the joint efforts of the whole team, and I feel very honored..."

I talked a lot and thanked a lot of people. It’s not like Chinese people can make report-style speeches.

After David Stern presented the award, he specifically chatted with Yang Rui for a few words. "Jerry, you have done a very good job. If you continue to work hard next season, maybe in the future the entire league will be an offensive team, and you will be the one leading the trend."

"There must be a day in the NBA when almost all teams average over 100 points per game, the rhythm is fast break, and the star statistics will be even better." Yang Rui and Stern shook hands vigorously.

As soon as the two people made eye contact, they knew they had the same idea.

"Haha, that's good." Stern hugged Yang Rui and patted him on the back.

This is a promise that will not be made explicit. As long as the Raptors continue to focus on offense and Carter is the core of the team, they will be the ones favored by the league next season.

Yang Rui's interview is much more interesting than the players. "Look, what am I doing before the season starts? People have been looking down on the Raptors for most of the season. I'm dreaming that now we're going to the locker room to spray champagne."

The reporter asked: "Do you have anything to say to the players?"

Yang Rui showed a thoughtful expression and said after five seconds: "It seems not, I just want to celebrate."

After returning to the locker room, everyone drank the champagne prepared. They did not think about playing the fifth game.

At the press conference, Yang Rui once again became the focus of the audience because his words were not polite at all.

"I joined the NBA three years ago and became an assistant coach of the Knicks. In 1998, I got a championship ring, but because I was an assistant coach, I didn't have the opportunity to make a long speech. I have always regretted it. Now I finally have it. I have the opportunity to express my gratitude here, so although I really want to keep a low profile, I can’t keep a low profile at all. Haha.”

The reporter asked: "What is your biggest feeling now?"

"Thank you to the boss and general manager for giving me the opportunity to coach the Raptors. I was only 24 years old when I signed. This requires a lot of courage. Looking at it now, our choices were all right."

The reporter asked: "What do you think is the reason for the Raptors' success?"

Yang Rui thought for a while and smiled: "When I first came to the Raptors, the team's record was last in the Eastern Conference. When I saw the player list, I knew that my task was very difficult. Fortunately, they are all very talented. Over the course of a season, I taught them how to stay confident, how to play correctly and as a team, and they transformed into a group of stars."

The reporters all listened attentively and no one interrupted.

"Because of their offensive tactics and fast-paced style of play, the Raptors have become the most popular team. Fans are here every day: It's incredible, it's cool, it's exciting to watch these guys play, and Carter will definitely be able to do that in the future. More than Jordan..." Yang Rui paused and said seriously: "So, it is all my credit for the Raptors to win the championship. Thank you everyone!"

Damn it, the final credit belongs to you? !

The jaws of the people in the venue dropped to the ground, and then everyone laughed, and many people clapped vigorously.

Of course, if you win the championship, all the credit goes to the head coach. Yang Rui's methods are more interesting than those of coaches from other teams.

Everyone felt that there was no sense of violation. He is such a person who likes to joke. 8
