Chapter 1167 meet
"What? Is this question difficult to answer?" Seeing Xiaofeng thinking for a long time, Taeyeon was a little dissatisfied. According to Xiuying's words, there are many ways to test whether a man loves you or not. The most direct and effective way to test whether a man is willing to live with you for the rest of his life is to see if the other person is willing to hand over all his money to you.
Taeyeon didn't expect Xiaofeng to let her take care of all the money. Taeyeon didn't have that much energy or interest, but it's okay to understand it. Xiaofeng even hesitated that Taeyeon was satisfied.
"Don't worry, I'm calculating." Xiaofeng has been thinking for so long, but he really doesn't know what his current net worth is, and secondly, he has to consider how much it will be appropriate. At least the part of the financial company is not suitable for Taeyeon. After 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, chatted for a few words and hung up the phone, and was about to fly back to New York with Yang Rui. Yang Rui did not have any overnight revenge, and he avenged it on the spot.
He had never met Archil Strakan before. In my memory, he was a thin man with freckles on his face, a coordinated nose bridge, a distinct bald head, and a slightly better hairline than those of the Qing Dynasty people.
For him, attending this coaching party is just fun. Since Archil didn't know that he was the Knicks coach, he wanted to take this opportunity to surprise those who once laughed at Jerry.
After hanging up Archer's phone, he immediately called Ernie Grenfeld.
"Manager, I have a question. If I am interviewed by a reporter tomorrow, talk about racial discrimination and show evidence, will this be OK?"
"What?" Ernie was stunned. "Do you have evidence?"
"A coach at the same time called me just now, indicating that there was a party tomorrow. The British man would take this opportunity to humiliate me. This is not the first time. I am afraid that this will turn from a sports interview into a social event, which will have too much impact, so I ask you for your opinion first." Yang Rui said lightly.
If the management does not support this idea, Yang Rui immediately gave up. His main purpose is to increase personal exposure.
He didn't care about racial discrimination at all. Archel hates him. Why didn't he think this guy with freckles is SB? He just didn't say it out, discrimination is mutual.
Ernie thought for a while and replied seriously: "As long as you don't sue them and make things too complicated, I think it's OK. You have to focus on your work, not on your personal grudges."
"I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know the general, but they're too much. I want many people to see their ugly faces and call on everyone not to look at people with tinted glasses. Will this greatly increase my exposure rate? "
"Of course." Ernie is a hype expert and can't think of anything more attractive than this.
On the surface, Yang Rui was discriminated against, but he actually got the benefits. If the news became popular, he would follow suit.
Yang Rui is just for this purpose, rather than being stubborn and staying with others. He needs to hire a lawyer to go to court, and it is troublesome to appear in court. The litigation period is very long. Even if someone wants to help him sue for free, he will refuse, and he will not pay much money.
Ernie did not advise Yang Rui to be patient and remain silent. They signed for talents, not ninjas. After chatting for a while, he believed that Yang Rui was a smart and unlucky person.
As long as the explanation is right, Chinese people will not make trouble. On the contrary, after watching the show, they know that Jerry is a coach in the NBA. This is an improvement of Chinese status, and Chinese in New York may be happy.
The next morning, the radio station called Yang Rui and communicated with him about the interview content.
Yang Rui's plan was to bring a pinhole camera to the party and shoot some conversations, and then edit them by the TV station. After asking, the radio station really has this kind of equipment, and its technology is currently the top level in the United States.
In the United States, the super paparazzi have no ability to shoot secretly, and they are hard to defend against. Excellent paparazzi are closely connected with the radio station, and some equipment is provided by the radio station.
In the afternoon, Yang Rui met with female reporter Haili and conducted a simple interview in the radio business car. Yang Rui told about her previous life and how difficult it was to become a coach.
"Do you feel that you have encountered discrimination in this industry?" Haili asked.
"Yes, before I joined the Knicks, I was discriminated against almost every place I went. Many teams drove me away without giving me an interview opportunity. People who graduated from five-star clubs at the same time as me would also sarcastically sarcasticly."
"Really?"
Yang Rui smiled bitterly and said, "Of course it's true. Tonight, our coaches had a party at the same time. If you don't believe it, you can follow me to the party and take a look."
The interview came to an end and the staff began to wear equipment for Yang Rui.
"Okay, the button camera is in place, the image is very clear." Haili looked at the computer screen and said, "We can hear the sound inside, but you can't hear us."
"It's great." Yang Rui left the radio nanny car without any psychological burden and walked towards the club across the street. Before entering the door, he was already troubled.
"Stop, today is a private party, there is no invitation, you are not allowed to go in." Two white big men's security guards stopped Yang Rui.
Yang Rui thought about it for a moment and guessed that this was arranged. He should be the only Chinese to attend the party. It was really easy to stop the target.
Yang Rui said calmly: "It was Archel Strakan who asked me to come. He had never mentioned the invitation. You can go in and ask for personal information."
He spoke clearly, for fear that the audience would not be able to hear the name.
"If we don't ask, why don't you shout at the door and see if anyone knows you, and you might just take you in." A doorman smiled.
Little did he know that Yang Rui deliberately opened the distance and asked the camera to give him a big close-up. As soon as the show was broadcast, it would be strange if he was not fired.
"You guys, I've been driven away. When Archer asks, explain it to him slowly." Yang Rui said this, turned around and left
As soon as he took five steps, a security guard ran up and stopped him. "Sorry, don't be angry. He went in and asked. As long as what you said is true, you will definitely let him in."
Yang Rui had no expression on his face. Since he was here, he didn't think of leaving simply. He wanted to see how cheap these people were and whether they could still be coaches after being exposed.
The only thing he was worried about was that he didn't know how much space the Los Angeles media used to report his news. If someone at the party knew that he was a Knicks assistant coach and couldn't let go, it would be boring.
After a while, Archil came to greet him.
"Hi, little mouse, why didn't you bring an invitation?"
"I have said it many times? I don't call it Little Mouse, and I don't like this insulting name." Yang Rui said coldly.
