Yang Rui decided to call his friend Thomas Bentley.

The bond between the two can be seen from their names. When they were in the orphanage, the dean named him Tom. They grew up together, and although their skin colors were different, they looked better than brothers.

Searching for memories, Yang Rui learned a lot of things during his growth process.

Tom was malnourished when he was a child, very thin, too lively, and had a bit of ADHD, so no family wanted to adopt him. Jerry was adopted when he was 8 years old and often went back to the orphanage to see Tom and took out good things to share with him.

The two went to the same primary school and the same junior high school.

At the age of 12, Tom looked like a 7-8-year-old elementary school student. At the age of 14, he was so thin that he suddenly became an "ugly duckling turned into a swan", began to grow taller, and had blonde hair and a beautiful appearance.

At this age, no one would adopt Tom. He started working and supporting himself. Later, he changed his name to Thomas Bentley, which sounded very imposing. The last name is his favorite car name, and it can also be translated as "Bentley" in Chinese.

Four years later, he grew from 155cm tall to 190cm and was incredibly healthy.

During high school, Jerry's adoptive father passed away, and the roles of the two were changed at once. Thomas began to give Jerry good things and help him through the difficulties.

Jerry, who had a poor academic performance, failed to get into college and had to enter society early. Thomas used his scholarship to help him realize his dream and obtained the coaching qualification certificate.

Because Jerry benefits unilaterally, many of Thomas' classmates don't like him.

Thomas had two rich girlfriends and advised him to alienate Jerry and think about his future, but it ended up breaking up with him and his girlfriend.

As long as Thomas chooses a rich second-generation girlfriend, he will not have to worry about his future career, but he chose to raise this unrealistic and dream-chasing brother.

Yang Rui is quite speechless about this pair of gay friends, and the sense of incongruity is too strong!

If Thomas was a woman, a pretty blonde beauty with a strong personality, then this story would be much better.

She met a handsome sunny man who was willing to give for him since childhood. The two depended on each other for life. When she grew up, she became better and better, with a bright future. The gap in status hindered their relationship, but she never gave up on each other. After experiencing a series of setbacks, the handsome sunny man was unyielding and finally realized his dream and became an NBA basketball coach. They were happily together...

Well, that's much better. (What a shit! You just hope your best friend is a beauty, right?!)

Yang Rui organized some vocabulary and broadcast the phone.

You can't just be reborn and have a future memory and personality dominates, so you can't contact your good brothers in this life. If it weren't for Thomas' funding, he wouldn't be a coach.

The phone rang three times and it was connected. Yang Rui was a little nervous.

"Jerry, do you still know how to call? Every time I call you, I'm not at home!" Thomas's roar came from the other end of the phone, directly confusing Yang Rui's roar, and forgot everything he wanted to say.

Thomas saw that he didn't say anything for five seconds, his voice dropped from 100 decibels to 10 decibels, and his tone reached the other extreme. "Hey, what's wrong with you, right?"

"Nothing happened...I want to tell you good news. I have found a job and will definitely repay the money you borrowed from me."

Yang Rui can't be as rude as Jerry. He never borrowed money in his previous life and hated owing favors, which would make him feel very uncomfortable.

Unexpectedly, Thomas went crazy on the other side of the phone. "Fuckyou! Did you actually ask me to pay back the money? Have you forgotten what you said when I was in the orphanage? Your money is my money, and my money is also your money. You are crazy, right?"

In the United States, such things are very common, such as Iverson was elected as the No. 1 pick, and after he got rich, he raised a group of brothers in the slums, and ate his and used his. In China, such things are absolutely rare.

Yang Rui quickly changed his words. "Okay, don't be excited, don't worry, I'm not sick, I'm just a joke, I will never pay you back! What I want to express is that I have money now!"

"Did you become a coach? Which school do you go to?" Thomas asked excitedly.

"It's not a school..." Yang Rui guessed that with this guy's urinary nature, if he just said he had joined the Knicks, he could fly to New York and take him to the nearest mental hospital.

"It's not a school, is it possible that there are professional teams who want you?" Thomas' tone became a little weird.

"Yes, you'll know soon. I'm going to Changtan City on a business trip and I'll be here tomorrow." Yang Rui said with a smile.

Los Angeles is very close to Long Beach, and Thomas immediately continued: "Then I will go to Long Beach too. See you at the airport tomorrow. I will have food and accommodation."

"Someone has booked a hotel for me. Don't do anything. I'll go with my colleagues." Yang Rui asked: "Don't you have to go to work?"

"It's just an internship." Thomas asked with a smile: "Are your colleagues beautiful?"

"Male, a fat man, he is 40 years old." Yang Ruihan said.

"What a pity." Thomas sighed.

In the early morning, Yang Rui and Thibodeau boarded the plane to Long Beach together. The next morning he left the airport, he saw his buddy at a glance.

"Hi, Jerry, I'm here." Thomas wore a white T-shirt, gray casual pants, and a pair of brown sunglasses, tall and upright.

He had a golden flat head and distinct facial features. He had attracted star scouts when walking on the street. He waved at Jerry, which attracted many people to look at him.

"Is this your friend? He is much more handsome than you. You will definitely not be able to pick up girls when you go out with him." Thibodeau was a rare humor. The two of them read information together and discussed basketball tactics. They have been familiar with each other these days.

"If you can't soak, you can't soak." Yang Rui smiled.

He took the relationship lightly. He was not without a girlfriend in his previous life. He was more eager to do something big and succeed in his career.

After security check, the two brothers hugged each other.

Yang Rui is not worried about getting along with Thomas in the future. As with the image in his memory, he is easy to communicate with. Even strangers can easily become friends with him.

Thomas quietly restrained his smile, as if he was afraid that he would be too relaxed and would be difficult for Yang Rui to do it, and asked in a low voice: "Is this next to you your boss?"

"No, let me introduce it." Yang Rui faced Thibodeau. "This is my good brother, Thomas Bentley."

"You can call me Tom." Thomas smiled.

In the United States, the nickname of Thomas is usually Tom. For example, Tom Cruise, the full name is actually "thomascruisemapotheriv." It is translated as Thomas Cruise Mapother IV.

"This is my partner, Tom Thibodeau, who is an assistant coach together... So, when the three of us are together, can I call Big Tom and Little Tom to distinguish?" Yang Rui smiled.

Thomas smiled, Thibodeau had a black thread, and as an uncle working with a young man, there was really a generation gap.

"What team do you work on? Are there basketball games in Long Beach?" Thomas asked.

"NBA Summer League, why? He didn't tell you to be the Knicks assistant coach?" Thibodeau looked at the two of them curiously and answered for Yang Rui.

"Summer League?" Thomas was stunned for ten seconds, thinking of a school called the Knicks, and shouted suddenly: "What? You joined the New York Knicks?!"

He was shocked by everyone next to him, and the airport security guards looked here.

Thibodeau was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

Yang Rui shrugged with pride. "This is why I dare not tell you on the phone." Thomas rented a Toyota sedan to take two people to the booked hotel. It was of average grade and was better than spacious.

The coach lived in a suite, with a large bed and a comfortable sofa, so Thomas decided to stay right away.

Thibodeau squinted his eyes, as if he had discovered something amazing, and was secretly happy. In the United States, gay is common, and Yang Rui's spine was cold when he was staring at him, and he didn't explain.

Some things cannot be explained, and the more you describe them, the darker they become.

The players arrived one after another and checked into the hotel. Thomas no longer doubted the authenticity of Yang Rui being the Knicks assistant coach.

Interestingly, when the players came, they greeted Thibodeau first. When they heard that Yang Rui was the head coach this time, their first reaction was confused.

Chucky Atkins reacted the strongestly. "Just kidding? He doesn't look older than my cousin who just went to college."

"It's not a joke. Whoever plays more time, who is the core, and what tactics to play is the final decision." Yang Rui walked to Atkins and smiled and said, "So, you'd better not mess with me."

His tone was amiable and his smile was brilliant, but Atkins felt great pressure and did not dare to say a word anymore. He was so quick that he had to bet on his future, so that the madman would do this.

Yang Rui met the young Stephen Jackson, whose facial features were childish but had a strong body.

Mickey Moore, with a small braid, came in a sleeveless sports T-shirt, revealing his snake tattoo on his right arm, perhaps this is the origin of his nickname.

The seemingly loyal Bruce Bowen greeted everyone, and it seemed that he was the most friendly. If it weren't for being reborn, Yang Rui would have been deceived. In fact, he had the heart of a villain.

Only Wallace and Yang Rui had almost no difference in the impression that one was, but his hairstyle was not explosive. His arms were now as thick as many people's heads, with a serious expression and a fierce look.

The players did not say hello to Da Ben. His face made people feel that they wanted to find someone bad luck, and they would be flattered if they had a disagreement. He would have a future if he didn't play basketball and went to the underworld.

In the afternoon, everyone went to adapt to the venue together. There was another training tomorrow, and the preparation time was very short.

The summer league will not give players time to work together. If they are not strong in their personal abilities, it is really a dream to think that "it is too easy to sharpen their guns in the face of battle." It is precisely because the teams that are temporarily pieced together are difficult to play tacit understanding, Glenn Walsh is not optimistic about Yang Rui and this team, which makes some sense.

After running around and warming up, Yang Rui asked everyone to gather and mobilize before the war.

He smiled and said, "I know that some people will question my ability when they see me being young. Although I was a first assistant coach at the Knicks at the age of 23, and a recognized genius in the management, you are all marginal people who have no one to find a basic salary job in the NBA, but I can fully understand your ideas."

A word popped up in everyone's mind at this moment - Damn!

Thibodeau asked Thomas who followed him to watch the fun. "Has he always been such a arrogant person?"

Thomas was stunned and shook his head subconsciously. "I doubt this is not the person I know."

Even if this is a group of marginal players who are pieced together, Thibodeau would not dare to say that. If these people don’t play well and the team loses in a row, the coach will be responsible.

Yang Rui doesn't think so. He is taking advantage of the situation to suppress others. He set a record and became a coach at the age of 23. How could these outsiders know what his status is in the Knicks?

If you are truly a recognized genius by management, it is not easy to grasp them? Yang Rui is already in this position and they dare not believe it.

"So, everyone must listen carefully if you want to join the Knicks." Yang Rui paused and suddenly raised his tone. "This summer, you are trying to win a chance for yourself. I can give you this opportunity and tell me, do you have a goal?"

"have!"

Yang Rui kept paying attention to four people speaking and their voices were very loud. These four people were Ben Wallace, Jackson, Atkins and Bowen.

Why can't many males with invincible physical qualities beat NBA? Because the player's spiritual attributes are equally important. Anyone who leaves a name in NBA, except Moore, speaks. "Snake Man" is a weirdo who doesn't like to talk.

The big waves wash away the sand, and what is left is gold. There are less than 400 people in the world who can fight NBA every year. This is by no means an easy task.

Yang Rui asked by name: "Ben Wallace, what is your goal?"

"Become a super defensive player, coach." Da Ben had already put aside his contempt for Yang Rui. In the position of a coach, it is enough to be tough, and he does not need to be stronger than the players.

Yang Rui asked: "You are very strong, what is the biggest bench press?"

"420 pounds." Big Book broke a surprising number, which was about 190 kilograms.
