The Pope of Basketball Community

　　 Manager Ernie Grunfeld is not a messy person. After the discussion, he immediately called his assistant, went through the process of drawing up a contract, and prepared to sign a contract with the two.

　　The Knicks can’t wait. The summer league will start in early July. If the team coach personally leads the team to investigate the marginal people and finds backup talent for the team, it will become a laughing stock.

　　 There is an unwritten rule that the team leader is always the team assistant, who inspects both players and assistant coaches.

The Summer League is a place where “hanging wires” are everywhere. Each team can sign a contract with anyone in the free market. They can invite foreign players to play. They only need to take care of board and lodging, and do not have to assume other obligations. Finally, they do not sign for the NBA. Players have no Quan questioned that he could only admit that he was hurt.

　　 Some players will participate in the summer leagues of Las Vegas, Orlando, and Long Beach at the same time, just to play more games, show their strength, and pursue a basic salary.

　　 Thibodeau also signed, and his defensive philosophy fits Van Gundy’s appetite.

　　 As for Boyd, it can only be ruthless PASS, this kind of person who discusses the tactics slowly half a beat can’t work together at all. It’s the good assistant who dares to share the responsibilities with the head coach.

　　Three days later, Yang Rui and Xi Bodu went to the general manager’s office to report and got the contract.

　　 The content is not complicated, they need to participate in the team’s daily training, tactical discussions, and go with the team to play away games, the contract period is one year.

　　 Unless they are big-name teaching assistants, they will get a high salary and long contract as soon as they take up their posts. Such people are usually the team’s active players.

　　No matter how good Yang Rui performed during the interview, the treatment had to start with newcomers in the industry. The annual salary before tax was only 150,000, and Thibodeau had less than him, 120,000.

　　This quote is very fair. Thibodeau was even laid off even if the 76ers of the rotten team couldn’t be mixed. Yang Rui had no experience. When they prove themselves, the management will consider renewing the contract, otherwise it is just a transition coach.

　　 Thibodeau was very depressed. Yang Rui became the team’s first assistant through his interview. After seeing his contract, he calmly signed and began to wonder what family he was from.

　　 The annual salary of 100,000 US dollars is an absolute high salary in the United States. Why doesn’t he seem to care?

　　 This is of course because Yang Rui came from the post-NBA development era. Since 2015, many assistants have been paid millions of dollars a year, and the player contract is even ridiculously large. Now he is not for money, only for a platform.

　　 Yang Rui’s mood is just one word-cool!

　　 In his previous life, his parents were gone, and he had little contact with distant relatives, and he was alone. Back in this era, he didn’t have a little trouble, he just wanted to let go of his courage.

　　After signing the contract, Yang Rui got a check. The team prepaid 10,000 US dollars in salary, which was a hard work for the summer league. He immediately quit his job at the snack bar and officially got rid of poverty.

　　The Knicks then finalized a teaching assistant Billy Sharman, plus the original fitness trainer Chris Jorge, to form a new coaching staff.

　　On July 1, the NBA free market opened and the Knicks management held a uniform group meeting.

　　 Uniform, as the name suggests, means a suit, and the uniform group is the coaching group and management meeting. Manager Ernie first welcomed the new members, and then arranged the work for July.

“Jerry Yang and Tom Thibodeau, you went to the Long Beach Summer League together for a total of five games. Jerry, we have good news. We agreed to the request of the Chinese men’s basketball team and played against them in the first game.” Ernie looked at Yang Rui laughed.

　　 “Haha, that would be very interesting.” Yang Rui realized that his joining had a butterfly effect.

　　Last year, the Chinese men’s basketball team came to the United States to practice, the opponent is the Lakers. In the past life of Yang Rui, the Chinese men’s basketball team still played the Lakers this year. In 1998, they played a game with the temporary “Magic Star Team”.

　　 The so-called star team is actually the legendary point guard “Magic” Johnson and a group of retired old men. Johnson is 39 years old and has been diagnosed with AIDS for 7 years. If he does not know his size, he thinks it is O’Neill.

　　 Johnson is not the fattest yet. His teammates became fat and became a ball. The whole was a black Michelin tire. The game was broadcast on Chinese TV at that time, and Yang Rui was particularly impressed.

　　 In the face of such a group of comrades who are old, weak, sick, pregnant and holding children, Chinese players have the most athletic ability, and there is no suspense… 88 to 112 lost.

The men’s basketball team has been so speechless for the past two years. This time they are warming up for the upcoming Asian Championships. If there is no deviation in history, they will lose to South Korea in the semi-finals and eventually only get the third place in the World Championship. The team missed the World Championships for the first time since 1982, the strength can be imagined.

　　Yang Rui is very happy. He has never been a coach in his previous life. He only has the memory of this life as a reference and needs some time to buffer. If he played a strong team in the first game, he was under a lot of pressure. Playing the Chinese team simply wanted to sleep and give him a pillow.

　　 The atmosphere of the meeting is a little weird. Except Ernie and Van Gundy, everyone is curious how Yang Rui became a teaching assistant, or the first teaching assistant in name.

　　It’s so easy to find a job in the NBA giants?

　　 is so young, he seems to be under 23 years old. Is it the illegitimate son of the boss and the Chinese?

　　Glen Walsh, deputy manager of white fat man asked: “Jerry, you look very optimistic, but you have never played in the Summer League, do you know how to do it?”

　　 “Know a little, is it an invitation to the free agent to form a temporary team?” Yang Rui smiled slightly and looked at Ernie. “Manager, inviting players, can I propose candidates?”

　　 “Of course, you can discuss with two Mr. Maguire, they will contact the player or player agent, send an invitation, but can not guarantee that they will come.”

　　 Dick Maguire is a famous Knicks scout. He is 72 years old and still digs talents for the Knicks. His assistant is his son Scott Maguire, who inherits his father’s business.

　　 “Is there a detailed list of free people?” Yang Rui asked.

　　 “There is a list, but it is not specific. Only the basic information such as the age, height, and weight of the players. Many people have unknown technical characteristics, because most of them have no experience of playing in the NBA. UU reading www.uukanshu.com” Scott replied.

　　 “This is enough, I need a list after the meeting.” Yang Rui said easily.

Glenn did not have a good first impression of Yang Rui. He always felt that the young man was too arrogant and said coldly: “Mr. Yang, what do you think the summer league team can achieve? Are you confident to select potential players for the team? “

　　 “I don’t know.” Yang Rui said straightly.

　　 “What?” Glen frowned.

　　 “Of course I don’t know. I haven’t even seen the shadow of a player. I don’t know how good they are. I can’t tell them tactics. So I won’t be able to reply until the players are selected.”

　　Glen wanted to catch Yang Rui’s flaws, lead him to speak big words, do the handle in the future, but the other party was not fooled at all.

　　 “Mr. Walsh, do you have any questions?” Yang Rui paused for five seconds. When no one talked, he smiled slightly. “Leaders, please continue, I will obey any arrangements.”

　　Compared with Thibodeau’s sternness, Yang Rui’s every move seemed to be free and confident. The old management people are more whispering in their eyes.

　　 Are young people so powerful now? He is neither frightened nor reckless.

　　 This kid can become an assistant coach, maybe it is really capable.

　　 Will there be surprises this summer?

　　Fan Gandi looked at Yang Rui more and more pleasingly. He first participated in the team meeting that year, and he was a little stuttered with excitement. He was 27 years old.

　　Yang Rui was courageous and dared to take responsibility. It seemed that Van Gundy was a man of insight and face.

　　Knicks retained the core lineup, the weakest link is precisely the coaching staff. Van Gundy hopes that Yang Rui will perform well and has already signed the contract. Even if it is only one year, he does not want his assistant to scrap firewood. Everything is pressing on him.
