The Pope of Basketball Community

　　The Knicks’ game location is set in Long Beach, California, and the staff has booked a local hotel.

　　 Yang Rui and Thibodeau are on business trips, with a subsidy of US$60 a day, and they will also have meal supplements when they go away. But this time there was no special plane. They had to fly to Long Beach in economy class to join the “temporary workers”.

　　On July 4, Yang Rui received the best news. All five people he valued accepted the invitation and will represent the Knicks in the Summer League. Of the seven selected by Thibodeau, three of them refused and could only be replaced by others.

　　 Thibodeau selected players who had previous NBA experience and had been a marginal player in the NBA. Although they didn’t prove their strength, they also had a familiar face. The Knicks are recognized giants, it is difficult to stay in the team after the summer league, they do not want to try, afraid of wasting time.

　　 In the end, the Knicks gathered 12 people, all of whom were unnamed. Scouting Maguire and his son proposed to choose a few more. Yang Rui refused, insisting that it was unnecessary.

　　 This lineup Fan Gandi felt too miserable, he did not have the confidence to lead the team to play a good result.

　　 Before the expedition, the management meeting, before seeing Yang Rui’s somewhat unpleasant Glen Walsh flared. “Do you understand basketball? There are 15 other teams, you have 12, or some people who have no NBA experience and can’t be named. The biggest card is the edged Wizards Ben Wallace. He wants to lead the team. Lost?”

　　Yang Rui was confident and smiled: “Mr. Walsh, don’t be excited, but I decided to choose 12 players after careful consideration, so that it is easier to find outstanding players and sign the new season to help the team.”

　　Walsh certainly does not believe it. “Now the team has only 8 players on contract. This summer league is very important. Even if we recruit in the free market, we need at least 4, 5 young potential players to train, not all in freedom. Looking for a veteran of decline in the market, can you do it?”

　　 “Of course, otherwise why would you sign me to do it? Are you not optimistic about this lineup?”

　　Van Gundy couldn’t help but say: “Of course we are not optimistic, these people you chose are not famous at all.”

“I don’t think fame is important, it’s the tactical system that matters most. Let me give a simple example. If the starring movie “Instinct” is replaced by a better acting Jack Nicholson and a more famous Oprah- Winfrey, how many box offices do you think there will be?”

　　Everyone can’t help but make up the picture…return to the box office? Are you crazy? !

　　 Ernie-Grunfeld shook his head and smiled bitterly: “Jerry, I know you are young and aggressive, confident… But you have to prove yourself in this way, it’s too risky.”

　　 Glenn said angrily: “The fight started on the 7th, and those who wanted to invite people with strength could not be found.”

　　 Yang Rui stood up and clapped twice, attracting everyone’s attention to himself, smiling: “Since that, Mr. Walsh, how are we betting?”

　　 Glen really put on. “What bet?”

　　 Yang Rui smiled and snapped his fingers. “Betting on whether the Knicks Summer League will win. If I win, I will naturally bring back 4 or 5 potential newcomers. Of course, we are not talented and we don’t stay. The preseason will know if there is any value.”

“Listen, he’s crazy to the point.” Glenn felt insulted by IQ and shouted: “On this broken lineup, let Chuck Daly come to lead the team. Is he dare to say a victory? This is a dream!” “

Yang Rui is like the other party is not angry with him, said in a hurry: “I like the Knicks, because this team’s label is blood. Mr. Walsh, please answer a question, you think the summer league victory Which is more difficult than winning the NBA championship next season?”

　　 Is this nonsense? Of course it is the championship. Everyone looked at Glen Walsh and waited to see the joke, this question could not be answered at all.

　　 Glenn was speechless, his angry eyelids jumped, and the fat on his stomach shivered.

　　 You are so wicked, how did you get involved in the championship from the summer league, this is not to make it clear that I am not optimistic about the Knicks to win the championship? I just don’t like you Chinese guy, okay?

　　 Fortunately, Yang Rui just said one thing, there was no aggressive thing about the championship. Glenn was really afraid of him saying, “Do you think it’s a dream to win the championship?”

　　Yang Rui wouldn’t tear the face bar for something and the deputy manager, it would be too stupid and would not do any good. He wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to show off, even more dazzling after the summer league results.

　　 His next proposal is acceptable to everyone.

“Mr. Walsh, I know that the reason why you are excited and dissatisfied with me is for the team. You are afraid that I will affect the summer recruitment work. Our goals are actually the same, so I will try to change your relationship with me. View, let you trust me, let everyone trust me.”

　　Glen was relieved. “Can’t you bet?”

　　 “Beating, the stakes are very simple. I won. The management invited guests to dinner and celebrated the victory. When I lost, I invited everyone to eat and choose a place. As an apology, how do you feel?” Yang Rui laughed.

　　Everyone was stunned for a while, and Ernie was determined. “OK, that’s it, I’m waiting to see you lead the team to victory.”

　　 Van Gundy, Maguire and his sons also agreed.

　　 “Okay.” Glenn sighed and waved his hand with a wry smile at UU Reading www.uukanshu.com.

　　At this time, his impression of Yang Rui has begun to change. The people present are more than ten years older than him, but the atmosphere of the meeting is following his rhythm. He is the most conspicuous here.

　　 He has a sharp edge, but his emotional quotient is not low. The bet is that everyone eats together. No matter whether he wins or loses, he will close the distance between him and the management.

　　 won, everyone must praise him and go directly to the top; lose, he is young, lower his posture to apologize, who can really kill him and let him get out?

Faced with this situation, Glenn couldn’t think of a better way to get through.

At the end of the meeting, Ernie asked Glenn to stay alone and asked with a smile: “Are you really angry? I’m not always confused about signing him. This kid has a special charm. It makes people want to see what he can do. Don’t you feel that way?”

　　Glen sighed: “I admit that he is really not the same as other Chinese, I just wonder where his enthusiasm came from? Why does he seem to believe that he will win?”

　　 “But you will look forward to the start of the summer league, see if he can lead the team to win, right? That’s enough.”

　　 “…” Glenn was speechless, that is the fact.

　　Ernie has no regrets. From the moment when he decided to sign Yang Rui, it was a gamble, and it was Yang Rui’s ability to work.

　　 He felt like buying a lottery ticket, waiting for the moment to draw the lottery. As people on the same front, management certainly wants to “win the prize” rather than spend money. Summer League is played, they will promote Yang Rui, is a good gimmick.

　　Glen asked: “Erney, do you believe he can lead the team to a victory? I am not talking nonsense. If you ask Jeff, he takes this kind of marginal team, and he dare not say that he will win.”

　　 “I want him to work wonders.”
