With the vision of the future, Yang Rui easily gained the favor of Scarlett Johnson.

He dares to assert that "Titanic", which has not been released, is a classic movie, and he also firmly believes in magic. Science fiction movies are the future development trend and will definitely become the main force in the box office.

At this time, "Harry Potter" had just published its first novel, and like "The Lord of the Rings", it was the first movie that was released in 2001. If he had money, he would want to buy these film and television copyrights to get a share. For him, the entertainment industry has unlimited business opportunities, and as long as he invests, it is difficult not to get rich.

Scarlett was a famous literary girl in the early stage. Yang Rui talked about her acting skills and movies, and she became a soulmate after a while. After lunch, he got Scarlett's phone number and was not regarded as a stranger.

Before leaving, Scarlett asked: "I want to give my brother a gift. He is an Alan Houston fan. When the season starts, can you help me get his signature jersey?"

"Of course." Yang Rui agreed without thinking.

Scarlett was stunned and smiled and showed two rows of white teeth: "Jerry, why are you so kind to me? Could it be that you like me?"

"I think you will become a big star and a Hollywood actress in the future, so let's get along well first. If you are less than 13 years old, don't think about it all day long." Yang Rui was amused.

Even if he knows that Scarlett will be a star in the future, he doesn't have that intention, he just wants to make friends.

In the United States, you will be sentenced to heavy sentences when having sex with a minor, but in New York, you will have to be sentenced to 20 years... Unless you don't want to pass it, who would consider this?

When she met Scarlett, Yang Rui's life became more fulfilling, preparing for investment when she had money in the future.

He goes to the library to read books every day, eats in the wake-up snack bar at noon, and walks home in the evening to exercise his body and exercise his cooking skills.

After living a lifetime, he cherishes time more than others and has more insights into life.

His work in his previous life was good, but he was just good, and he was not considered a love; he had dated several girlfriends in his previous life, but none of them were true love, and it was more like a show-off; he had many friends in his previous life, so no one could help anyone, and he could not make progress together.

To put it bluntly, his previous life was just an ordinary person, too ordinary, and his life was so dull that it was boring.

Some people say that being plain is true, but being plain is really good?

Belgian "The Elderly" magazine once conducted a special investigation activity for elderly people over 60 years old nationwide entitled "What do you regret the most?", and the survey results are very interesting.

72% of the elderly regret not working hard enough when they were young, resulting in failure in career; 67% of the elderly regretted that they chose the wrong career when they were young; 63% of the elderly regret not having enough education or improper methods for their children; 58% of the elderly regret not having enough exercise; 56% of the elderly regret not cherishing their partners.

At the age of 60, it is already sunset. Looking back on the past, you can make more objective and fair judgments about yourself.

Before Yang Rui was 60 years old, he realized that his life was wrong in his previous life. Since most of the elderly regretted that their career was not successful, he should focus on his main energy, especially when he chose the right career, he did not want to regret it in the future.

He also needs to exercise, ensure health, and find a loving partner.

As long as you do these three things, your life will be more perfect. He currently has no children and no old parents. He is energetic and will not find any excuses if his career fails to succeed!

Not only Yang Rui's life is on track, but Thomas also did a great job on Wall Street. Both of them are enviable and successful people among their peers.

Soon two months later, Yang Rui and Scarlett became friends and had a special seat by the window in the "Enjoyant Snack Shop". Scarlett lived not far away and especially liked to talk about movies with Yang Rui.

They usually eat Chinese food and have black sesame paste after meals, but only two of them like to eat it.

Scarlett's younger brother Hunter also often comes to eat. He has twin siblings and looks very similar. This child can definitely deceive many people with a wig.

The two forced Hunter to eat sesame paste, and the guy tasted it. The expression Yang Rui could remember for the rest of his life, just like he was on the execution ground. This food tasted a bit heavy for most Americans' cultural concepts.

At the end of August, Scarlett successfully auditioned with the crew of "The Horse Whisperer" and went to make a movie.

Hunter still often went to the snack bar for dinner and asked a long-standing question. "Jerry, I'm very surprised, can you really talk to Scarlett?"

"Don't you listen to us chat often? Don't you believe she can become a big Hollywood star? I'm very accurate in my opinion." Yang Rui replied.

Hunter was confused. He insisted on following him at first because Scarlett said he met the Knicks assistant coach and he was worried that the other party was a liar or had bad intentions.

As a result, after meeting many times, he found that Yang Rui's eyes were clear. He either loved Moss Carrie, or talked about basketball, movies, Hollywood gossip, and some entertainment.

"Do you still want to be an actor in the future?" Hunter asked.

"No, I'm more interested in being a boss and investing in making movies. To put it bluntly, I want to make money." Yang Rui ate the fried noodles and showed a longing expression.

Of course, the more money, the better. In the short term, he can't accumulate capital to do big things. Thomas made a lot of money for stock trading, but it was still too slow.

Hunter asked: "After the training camp starts, you will help me sign in Houston, right?"

"Of course, this is a trivial matter. What do you want Houston to write on the clothes? I guess he can't give you clothes, so you'd better prepare one yourself."

"Just write about Hunter, one day, you will become an NBA star." Hunter said seriously.

Yang Rui smiled and shook his head: "Let's change. With my professional perspective, you can't become an NBA star. Playing basketball depends on talent."

Hunter was a little unhappy: "Why not, I'm very tall."

Yang Rui sighed: "You don't even look at what level of confrontation are there on the NBA field? My physique will be apart. Even if you grow to 1.9 meters in the future, can you develop muscles? If someone gives you an elbow, your delicate face will be over. If you want to be handsome in basketball, you will be enough to play in school."

Hunter is usually narcissistic and is told about the central thing, and he blushed a little. "What did you say to write?"

"Study hard and improve every day." Yang Rui replied casually.

“…”

Hunter went home and pondered for several days, took a jersey to the snack bar for Yang Rui. "I've thought about it, just write it, never give up my dream!"

"Huh, it's really good to write this, Hunter, what is your dream?"

"I don't know. Now... I don't know."

Yang Rui felt chill when he saw his shy look. This was the tall male version of Scarlett, and the two looked so similar.

On September 23, Yang Rui received a call from the management to prepare for the team's media day. The day after tomorrow, everyone in the team will be busy and the new season is about to begin! Media Day, also known as Media Meeting Day, is the time for players and the coach to mandate the media to take photos and interview.

Team members must accept interviews and let the media shoot the team's training and answer the questions raised are basically rigid regulations, and are measures taken by the league to establish a good relationship with the media.

After Yang Rui arrived at the stadium, he greeted the players.

The five players in the summer league were very close to him, Bowen, Jackson, and Atkins reported to him the training results, regarded him as his thighs, and planned to hug him tightly.

Veterans such as Ewing, Oakley, Johnson nodded even if they were done, they were all high-paying stars. Although they were players, they didn't take the assistant coach seriously.

Coach NBA is playing with a group of rich people. It is not easy to convince them. For example, Ewing's salary this season is 200 times that of Yang Rui.

Usually, the focus of media day is big-name stars and head coaches. This time, this time, reporters from multiple media interviewed Yang Rui together. The previous racial discrimination incident made the whole United States know his name.

"Jerry Young, are you confident of being the team's first assistant coach?" asked the reporter.

"Yes." Yang Rui despised this reporter from the bottom of his heart. This is nonsense. Who would say no?

"Many people think that the Knicks play well in the summer league because of the players' strength, not tactics. What do you think?" asked the reporter.

"Has anyone said this before the summer league?" Yang Ruixin thought it wasn't him, and none of these five people could make up. "Of course, no matter how others think it is their business. All I have to do is help the team win, and the record will tell everything."

The reporter asked: "What do you think the Knicks will achieve in the new season?"

"I don't know, the opponents are very strong, and we will work together to defeat those powerful opponents."

The reporter asked: "On the Internet, the coach who graduated from you at the same time said that you are introverted and unsociable, which leads to your bad relationship. Do you have anything to say?"

After the discrimination incident, in order to reduce the impact, several coaches jointly interviewed anonymously, saying that Yang Rui was not sociable.

Yang Rui smiled and said, "When I couldn't find a job, many people laughed at me. I found a good job and started saying that I was not sociable. I want to say, classmates, don't be jealous. Even if I am sociable and love you as my biological son, what can I do? You can't be an NBA coach because you are not capable, not because you don't have a good father."

The reporters were all shocked. The big news is clearly a verb that doesn’t spit dirty words.

It is certain that it is not sociable, but no one believes Yang Rui is introverted. Which introvert dares to say this on the Media Day?

Yang Rui dares to take the camera to expose it, so he naturally doesn't mind the final shot. Is it useless to have a good relationship with those people? When he is in a downturn, he will be hurt one by one. Could it be that when he is developed, these missed balls will be enlightened and become good balls?

He will not deliberately make enemies. He is already an enemy and there is no need to be polite, let alone tell people about truth, goodness and beauty.

For example, how to view the players, Yang Rui said all the good things, including the five people he has worked with in the summer league. He also praised him. As an assistant coach, he inevitably interacts with the players and cannot speak nonsense.

The Knicks' pre-season 17-man roster is released.

Center: Patrick Ewing, Ben Wallace, Chris Dudley, Buck Williams.

Power forwards: Charles Oakley, Mickey Moore, Herb Williams.

Small forwards: Larry Johnson, Bruce Bowen, Anthony Bowie, Chris Mills.

Scoring guards: Alan Houston, Stephen Jackson, John Starks.

Organizational guards: Chris Chiles, Charlie Ward, Chucky Atkins.

The Knicks only have the championship this season, and Mills can only play as a substitute when joining, which is to buy insurance to prevent Johnson from getting injured. Yang Rui is confident in preventing the Bulls from defending the title this season. The team's lineup is completely defeated by the Bulls, and can be called the Super Knicks.

You can tell how strong you are by looking at the makeup photos of the core players. Ewing, Oakley, Johnson, Houston and Starks took a photo, all of whom are very capable.

On the 26th, the team will be open for training classes, and the media and fans can visit the venue, and the stadium is full.

In addition to watching the training match, the audience will also receive a short-sleeved T-shirt with the Knicks logo pattern as a commemoration. Hunter Johnson came with his childhood sweetheart Jill, which was given by Yang Rui.

Before the training began, Oakley and Ben Wallace were chatting on the sidelines, and Van Gundy asked curiously: "Why, you two know each other?"

"He attended my training camp in high school, and I recommended this kid to go to college." Oakley smiled and said the interesting things they met.

At that time, Oakley saw a guy with a vicious look in the training camp. He didn't look like a good person and didn't look like a high school student, so he asked this person to practice alone, wanting to teach him some lessons.

Oakley didn't expect that this kid would dare to confront him head-on. Oakley knocked his lips open and he broke Oakley's nose. This kid was Ben Wallace in high school.

Later, Oakley let Ben Wallace, who was financially struggling, work in his car dealership, teach him to play basketball, and recommend him to sponsor him to go to his alma mater, Virginia United University, to go to school and play basketball.

Therefore, during the growth process of Daben, Oakley was everywhere, with tough and steel-like muscles.

After listening to the introduction, the more Van Gundy looks at Big Ben, the more he likes people who can defend. "You play well in the preseason. As long as you have 80% of his defensive skills, the team will definitely sign a long-term contract with you."

Van Gundy still underestimated him. Now he is comparing with Oakley. The winner must be big-best. His running and jumping ability is amazing, but all he lacks is experience. Just looking at protecting rebounds, he will not be better than Oakley.

The players first followed the physical trainer to run around the lap, then warmed up the shooting, and Van Gundy and Yang Rui chatted on the sidelines.
