Xiaofeng gave the fake very happily, and asked Zhang Yongjian very enthusiastically about his thoughts and began to recommend revisiting the honeymoon trip. In fact, Xiaofeng had been preparing for this kind of plan for a long time, but the person he was waiting for had no time.

Originally, Zhang Yongjian was quite happy to hear that Xiaofeng was about to leave, but when he saw Xiaofeng so enthusiastically recommending this recommendation that you looked like you were out for two or three years, Zhang Yongjian began to worry about whether Xiaofeng took the opportunity to force his agent away, and then he could do whatever he wanted.

Zhang Yongjian quickly gave up this idea. No matter what Xiaofeng's purpose was, his desire to take a vacation would never change. If it weren't for drinking too much this time and recalling the past, he wouldn't know how much he owed his wife.

Although I think the purpose of Xiaofeng's recommendation is impure, the content recommended by Xiaofeng is still very desirable. Of course, what makes Zhang Yongjian the most happy is that he chooses Xiaofeng's recommended itinerary and can go to the public account.

It’s not that Zhang Yongjian is willing to take advantage, but that Zhang Yongjian really doesn’t have much savings. Since becoming Xiaofeng’s agent, he has made a lot of money, but most of the money has been used to treat children’s illnesses and improve their living environment. His wealth is not low now, but it is a share that can never be exchanged for money. Although his wife, who has been used to hard life, is now so luxurious now, she will never agree to a long-term travel plan that takes a long time and consumes a lot of money. Zhang Yongjian, who has no private money, thinks that Xiaofeng’s proposal is really considerate.

Of course, Xiaofeng would not favor one or the other, saying that if Zheng Zhexiu also chose his recommendation, then he would also have to pay for Zheng Zhexiu's honeymoon money. If you spend some money, you can let others go and see the difference between talking about the war on paper and the actual situation, and give personal favors. Xiaofeng thought the deal was very cost-effective. At the end of the game, the Knicks won the Summer League championship 106 to 83.

The players walked into the court together to shake hands. The players who performed well and the role players had completely different moods, so a strange scene occurred. Many people had bitter smiles and did not look like they celebrated the championship.

The organizer held a simple award ceremony, and the champion and MVP had trophies.

Yang Rui took over the trophy, looked at it and handed it over to Thibodeau. Thibodeau was very happy and guessed that there would definitely be a lot of bonuses when they went back. This victory would allow them to gain a firm foothold in the coaching staff.

Thibodeau is old and needs a stable job. He doesn't want to live a bumpy and displaced life anymore. The Knicks is a good choice.

He couldn't help but shouted twice with the trophy, and found that Yang Rui had no reaction and had an embarrassment again.

Why do you look more like a young man?!

Chucky Atkins was elected to the Summer League MVP, averaging 24.5 points, 2 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game. As the team's number one scorer, his data is 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 per game, which is even more amazing.

Since the summer league rules are 10 fouls, Da Ben played magical data. According to regular season standards, he will be sent off per game, which is probably the reason why he was not selected.

He showed fierce defense, at the playoff level, and the opponent he bumped into was tilted, and many balls NBAs couldn't blow, so he blew it here. Joining the Knicks, the big book is more useful.

Sports reporters who understand football also think so. The reporter from "Basketball World" interviewed Da Ben. "You performed well in the league this time and are the team's defensive pillar. Do you have any thoughts about winning the championship?"

Da Ben said excitedly: "Defense is my job. I feel very good. I run freely on the court, can block shots, and can grab rebounds. I want to thank the coach for his trust in me."

The reporter asked: "Do you think you will get the Knicks contract? Will your height become some kind of obstacle?"

"Hopefully, I'm fully prepared. I don't think height is a hindrance. Charles Oakley is not tall, and being brave in the inside is more important. I've seen many games with Charles, he's a great defender, and I've been trying to learn something from him."

Da Ben and Oakley have known each other for a long time and regard Oakley as their eldest brother, which is why he especially wants to join the Knicks. He doesn't want to say this in front of the media unless he becomes famous one day.

After taking a photo with the players, Yang Rui was about to return to the locker room, but was stopped by a blond female reporter.

"Hello, I'm a reporter from Los Angeles Sports Channel. Can you delay your time?"

"Of course." Yang Rui smiled.

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

"How old are you this year? What's your name?"

"23 years old, Jerry Young."

The female reporter was stunned and asked in surprise: "You became the Knicks' assistant coach at the age of 23 and led the team to achieve good results. How did you do it? Is there any secret?"

"I went to the management for an interview with Tom Thibodeau to discuss basketball tactics, and then we stayed together. This is not a secret, but strength." Yang Rui smiled and said very simply.

But the female reporter felt that he was extremely high-profile and extremely confident.

"Do you have anything to say about the Knicks?"

"When joining the Knicks, Jeff Van Gundy was a young coach. Now he continues the Knicks' tradition of paying attention to human talents and not age. I am very grateful to him and the management for giving me the opportunity to prove myself."

The female reporter asked: "How many points did you give yourself this summer league?"

"Full marks." Yang Rui smiled.

If modesty is too hypocritical, he gives himself a low score. What about the coaches who lost to the Knicks? Can you only get rid of it?

The reporter asked: "What step do you think you will go to in the future? After the NBA regular season starts, do you have the confidence to help the team achieve good results?"

"Of course, I will work hard with other colleagues in the coaching staff to assist Jeff and arrange the best tactics for the stars."

The interview ended soon, and few assistant coaches were interviewed. Only Chinese like Yang Rui, or female Spurs coaches, will have an opportunity to be exposed in the future.

Yang Rui was satisfied. There should be many viewers on the Los Angeles Sports Channel, which will increase his popularity. There are only a handful of people who have had such honors at the beginning of his career.

The most shocking thing now is not the fans, but the two friends of Thomas Bentley. "Jerry" who used to ignore him led the Knicks to win the summer championship, and there were also interviews with reporters after the game.

Ilf Rosenberg's eyes were almost glaring, like the framed rabbit Roger. The Los Angeles Sports Live broadcast, Thomas called them to watch.

His girlfriend, Hannah McFalling, is also a Columbia University student, asked: "Am I dreaming? That inconspicuous guy actually became an NBA coach, and his age broke the record?"

Ilf was confused and didn't know what to say. Yang Rui's way of rising is harder than winning the lottery. Thomas asked them to watch TV, just like slapping them in the face with his actions. Don't look down on others in the future, it's too shameless.

At this time, the phone rang.

Hannah picked it up, it was Thomas who called it.

"Hey, let me tell you, now I'm going to go to New York to develop with Jerry. You won't persuade me, right?" Thomas showed off proudly on the other end of the phone.

"He is a coach, you are a finance person. Even in New York, you can't cooperate. Why do you have to persist?" Hannah said with a wry smile.

"You are my good friends. I have known Jerry for more than 4 years. I have known him for 23 years. I have been a family since I can remember. Will you leave your only family in New York and develop yourself in Los Angeles?"

Hannah was silent. She had no reason to be dissatisfied. She used to think that Jerry was dragging her back and made Thomas's quality of life decline. Now that the other party is an NBA coach, what else can she say as a friend? It will definitely be no harm to know such a great person.

Ilf waved and took the call. "Tom, if you want, go to New York. When you come to Los Angeles in the future, call Jerry to have fun together. Don't forget us if you are developed."

"Of course I can't forget."

"You must be cautious when investing. If you have any difficulties, call me." Ilf told me.

"I won't be polite to you." Thomas paused for a moment and smiled, "Don't make the atmosphere so heavy. Maybe we have the opportunity to cooperate and do something. I will definitely start a company if I have money."

"Do you think I like to work for people? Maybe who will start a company first?" Ilf hummed.

Thomas finished his internship the day before yesterday, hung up the phone for a few words, and prepared to fly back to New York with Yang Rui. When checking out of the hotel, Yang Rui specially chatted with the five people he selected and formulated a summer training plan for them.

Except for Ben Wallace, the other four are the main players who are shooting. Bowen only cares about the bottom corner on the right, the other people on both sides and in the middle, and the longer the range, the better.

That night, Yang Rui and Thibodeau flew back to New York. The next morning, Yang Rui and Thibodeau met Ernie Grenfeld at the manager's office.

"Congratulations, this time I did a great job." Ernie shook hands with the two. "Please sit down."

After a few greetings, Ernie talked about the serious matter. "The bonus of 5,000 per person has been transferred to the account."

Thibodeau was excited, Yang Rui was very happy. Giving money was the most realistic reward, and they were not rich now. The Knicks are well-known for being rich and powerful. As long as they do well, the bonus is absolutely indispensable.

"Have you encountered any difficulties in this job? You can also mention which player you are impressed with."

Thibodeau had a lot of things to say, but he forced himself to look at Yang Rui and signaled him to speak first. After this summer league, he completely gave up the idea of ​​competing for the first assistant coach.

Whether it is offensive arrangement or on-the-spot adaptability, Yang Rui is obviously better than Thibodeau. Van Gundy is a defensive expert. Thibodeau doesn't have much to do, so he needs to be low-key.

Yang Rui smiled and said, "Tom and I have a very tacit understanding of each other, with one offense and one defense, and there is no difficulty. In terms of players, we unanimously recommend the five starting players of the team. They all have their own expertise and can help the team. Tom, do you have anything to add?"

"The summer league is gone, it's all about tactics, we're just waiting to communicate with Jeff," Thibodeau continued.

"Discussing basketball is going to be in September. You should enjoy the holiday now. Attend the celebration party at the Blues Club the night after tomorrow, and you can bring your family." Ernie smiled.

The celebration is not a big fanfare, and it is located in a private club near Madison Square Garden. It belongs to the Dolan family and often holds parties.

Ernie asked: "Jerry, tomorrow the Cable Sports press conference will conduct an exclusive interview with you. They will contact you by phone. You can decide the interview location and try to talk about topics with explosive points. Don't be restrained, so that more fans can get to know you."

Yang Rui thought to himself that if he was interviewed in the apartment, it would probably be a hot spot. Two people living in 8 square meters are not as good as a student dormitory, but he and Thomas are ready to move out.

Thibodeau is very envious. The two are the same as the bonus. In fact, the management is more optimistic about Yang Rui and is ready to use the team's resources to promote him.

Knicks boss James Dolan is a legendary figure who has been drinking and taking drugs and is considered to have an unstable temper. In 1993, he was sent to a drug rehabilitation center for treatment. Dolan likes music very much in his spare time and has performed as a singer. At the same time, he is also a charity person and has made extensive friends.

Dolan is the chairman of Madison Square Garden, the president and CYO of CNY, and also oversees the New York Knicks, NHL New York Rangers, WNBA New York Liberty, and the Connecticut White Whale in the American Hockey League.

His own cable sports channel is aimed at the whole United States. It's just a matter of one thing that Dolan wants to praise. The Knicks did not announce to the public that Yang Rui became an assistant coach, and wanted to spend some time to investigate. If his performance in the summer league is bad, Dolan doesn't mind spending some liquidated damages to dismiss him, and then find an experienced assistant coach.

Now, Yang Rui has truly become a member of the Knicks.

Yang Rui thought it was a shame to cry in front of the camera and asked: "Manager, what is the point of the explosion? Can you give an example?"

Ernie thought for a while and smiled: "It's just an eye-catching topic. You can say that you have a hard process of getting a coaching qualification certificate by yourself. It doesn't matter if you have encountered racism, but don't forget to point out that our team doesn't have this kind of thing."

In the United States, racial discrimination is always the most "explosive point". It often goes on the headlines and there are countless lawsuits every year due to such things.

Yang Rui understood the team's idea and used his Chinese identity to hype it up. Now there are more and more people in China who are watching NBA, and the economy is developing rapidly. It is a big potential market. Without Chinese players, the assistant coach is a good gimmick for Chinese people.

The Knicks have always been good at making money. Even in Yang Rui's previous life, during the 2014-15 season, the Knicks scored the worst record in team history of 17 wins and 65 losses. They still generated nearly $300 million in revenue over the past year, which is so magical.

After leaving the stadium, Yang Rui walked home as usual and exercised. He was thinking about interviews all the way, and didn't think there would be any explosive points.

If it were the original Jerry, he would have told him about the hardships he had since childhood, and cried with tears. Yang Rui was different. He just received memories. Those tragic experiences were like a bystander, with no deep understanding and no strong sense of substitution.

Even if you really feel miserable, there is no evidence for the coaches to sarcasm and sarcasm to him at the same time. If the other party refuses to admit it in an interview, it will seem that he is a petty person.

It’s really a headache. Can’t he accept an interview and say generously, “Am I a genius?” Just say whatever you want, people will see the results in the future.
