Yang Rui returned to Manhattan and changed his goal to the Knicks.

『ge．

The Knicks are a strong team in the playoffs. The reason why they are a good player is because he knows that Jeff Van Gundy has a very stable coach position. He has been in the 200102 season, and he is a stubborn guy and may not be willing to listen to his assistant's opinion.

The Knicks have the same obvious advantages, that is, their lineup depth. From 1995 to 1999, the Knicks have always had the ability to compete for the championship. There are many defensive players in the interior, and two powerful scoring points on the outside, except for the point guard's strength, they have everything.

Yang Rui is confident that he can make the Knicks better. As long as Van Gundy listens to some suggestions, don’t always pursue defense and win.

On June 20, Yang Rui came to the doorstep of New York - Madison Square Garden.

He did not immediately send his resume to the Knicks management, but instead worked in a nearby snack bar. This was a store opened by a Chinese boss. Seeing that he had a good image and was neat, he kept it and calculated his wages based on hourly wages.

Yang Rui has no money to eat. If he doesn't call Thomas for help, he will starve to death if he doesn't find a job. This is a killing two birds with one stone. He must always pay attention to the situation of the Knicks and find a good time to go for an interview.

After his trip to New Jersey, he figured it out that if he just took the certificate like this, he would definitely not have the chance to show his performance. His age and qualifications would become factors that would be sentenced to death.

He has to wait for other coaches to compete for the competition, and then make a comparison together. Everyone has certificates, so you can't even give him the opportunity to participate in the discussion, right?

Yang Rui had a good memory in his previous life. He had been working on NBA data for many years and remembered all major events. He knew the situation facing the Knicks this summer, and Van Gundy's life was not easy.s1;

Last season, the Knicks led the Heat 3-1 in the second round. In the fifth game, Charlie Ward was picked up by 211cpj Brown and fell off the court. The two teams immediately started to fight together. The melee was very fierce. After the game, the Knicks, including Ewing, Starks, Larry Johnson and other main players were suspended, but the Hots team only had Brown suspended the game.

In the sixth game, Ewing and Alan Houston both missed the seventh game. Starks and Larry Johnson were absent, causing the team's strength to drop significantly. The Knicks paid a heavy price for their championship and were reversed by the Heat 4-3.

This way of eliminating the Knicks boss fans are very angry.

Rex Hughes, the old assistant coach of the Knicks, chose to retire, and another assistant coach Andy Greer expired. He responded to Pat Riley's call and turned to the Heat. With Bow Salmy who left in 1996, the only one left in the Knicks coaching staff was Van Gundy, the bare commander.

According to the original history, Thibodeau, who was cut by 76ers, will join and become the Knicks' number one assistant coach. Others Yang Rui don't know. He just wants to wait for Thibodeau to compete with him.

The 76ers' management's vision was speechless. Not only did they lay off Thibodeau, but the assistant coach Ron Adams, who was laid off, was also very famous. Later, he became a good helper for Vicky.

In addition to being a martyr in a snack bar every day, Yang Rui also ran to the arena to chat with the security guards and get first-hand information. He used the special snack mung bean cake to buy a fat guard named Kenning, begging him to call the snack bar when someone came to interview for the assistant teacher.

Hard work pays off. On the 27th, Yang Rui finally came to see Thibodeau, and there was another person who was recruiting publicly.

Xiao Xiao, I went out and told the boss that something urgent was happening. Yang Rui took off his job and shouted at the Chinese student who was working together.

When will you come back?

afternoon.

Yang Rui took the certificate and rode the bicycle delivering food at the door to the stadium. The snack bar was two streets away from the stadium, and he used the bus without hesitation.

This opportunity must be seized, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. For this reason, Yang Rui also investigated the location of the stadium office. He was familiar with the situation and thought of the words when he met the staff.

Sorry, sir, you can't walk around the work area at will. Do you have an appointment? Asked by nv assistant.

Applying for the Knicks Assistant Coach, I was with two of them. Yang Rui smiled and handed over the certificate.

He didn't say he had made an appointment, he just indicated that he was here to apply for a job and played a word game. Even if Van Gundy asked, it was not considered a lie.

The nv assistant had just seen two similar certificates and knew that the management called someone to interview today. There was no doubt that there was a fraud. He smiled and said: Sir, please please here.

Thank you, I'll go in by myself. In order to avoid embarrassment, Yang Rui deliberately sent off his assistant.

He knocked on the door first, and after hearing the sound of inviting in, he opened the door and walked in. There were four men in the room, two of whom he recognized at a glance.

His forehead is shiny and his hair is slightly long on both sides. He looks like a small man who has experienced vicissitudes and looks like Heihachi Mishima, is Jeff Van Gundy, born on January 19, 1962. Well, he is actually only 35 years old.

Another guy in a suit is Thibodeau, who is much younger than Yang Rui's impression and has a flat head. Thibodeau is also easy to recognize, and looks like Batman's old rival Penguin.

He didn't know the other two older white men, Erniger L.F., the team's general manager, and Ken Boyd, who came to recruit assistant coaches.

Boyd is a big deal. He has been playing for 10 years in the NCAA coach for a short time in the 1970s. He is a white defender with poor quality.

Hello everyone, my friend introduced me to the interview. This is my ID. Yang Rui first smiled at Thibodeau Van Gundy, and then handed the ID to Ernie because Ernie was sitting in the manager's position.

Van Gundy is the one with the most decision-making power present and must please him.

Yang Rui smiled at Thibodeau to confuse the public and gave everyone an illusion that Yang Rui was introduced by Thibodeau. After this time, if you are asked about it, it doesn’t matter that Yang Rui said it was introduced by other friends.

Out of courtesy, Thibodeau also smiled at Yang Rui. He and Boyd were both surprised because Yang Rui was too young.

Is this Asian here to compete for a coach? Are you kidding?

Ernie asked everyone about the suspicion. Your name is Jerry Yang, you are only 23 years old this year? Chinese?

Well, I grew up in the United States and today I only want one opportunity to show myself. I participate in this assessment. I know that the hope I left behind is very slim, and I am satisfied if I can learn something. I also asked the manager, Coach Van Gundy to give me this opportunity. After that, Yang Rui bowed to the two very politely.s1;

From the junction of the stadium to the entrance, Yang Rui did everything he could do.

As the saying goes, don’t hit a smiling person, let alone put his posture so low?

Ernie nodded and thought he was introduced by a friend. Van Gundy also ignored the details of how Yang Rui came about.

The Knicks urgently need to make an assistant coach, otherwise no one will lead the team in the summer league in July, so they have to find a team of marginalists to inspect new players.

Okay, let’s start the assessment now. Everyone listens to my questions and everyone needs to answer them. Van Gundy said.

The three people who came to compete for teaching assistants nodded solemnly.

Yang Rui breathed a sigh of relief. For him, he successfully passed the first level of the most important one. Van Gundy was eager to decide the candidate and directly talked about the topic.

If the Knicks face the Bulls in the playoffs, how should they arrange offensive and defensive tactics? You must have watched the finals and have five minutes to think about and answer them quickly.

Van Gundy believes that in the East, except for the Bulls, he has his own way to deal with it, and the assistants in need must mainly come up with ideas on the offensive end.

This question is directly related to the Knicks' goals for next season and also tests the coach's reaction, just five minutes.

To become an NBA-level coach, you must not only know how to arrange basic training, but also have tactical concepts that suit the team and sufficient on-the-spot adaptability.

Van Gundy responds badly on the spot. If he is surrounded by P-shaped assistants, he is engaged in spiritual victory or flattering the stars, the Knicks will have no hope.

Excellent coaches have a certain amount of accumulation, and Thibodeau and Boyd have considered this issue when watching the finals.

Even so, they did not speak first. Thibodeau was 39 years old and Boyd was 45 years old. He was knowledgeable and restrained.

Let’s speak first, if the idea is not good enough or if Van Gundy doesn’t feel like he is in a bad situation. Let’s speak later, you can integrate the ideas of your competitors and deepen your tactics.

The person who speaks later also has disadvantages. If the other party’s tactics are too perfect or his ideas are similar, and he cannot express his objections and can only agree, he may lose the opportunity to show off.

Thibodeau and Boyd are both chief assistant coaches, treating each other as opponents and not wanting to make any mistakes.

Just as they were in a ideological struggle, Yang Rui raised his hand and pointed to a white tactical board beside the wall and said: I have considered this issue, can I talk about it first?

Yang Rui observed Van Gundy's expression, with a subtle frowning movement, and seemed to be a little dissatisfied with him after thinking about it for less than a minute.

Strangely, this industry clearly requires coaches to adapt quickly, but thinking too fast and speaking too directly will make people dislike it.

Van Gundy only felt that Yang Rui wanted to show himself too much and was unstable. Since he said that he was studying, shouldn’t he listen to his seniors first? Even if he asked a question, the two agreed to what he said first and then speak.

Neither of the two opposed the objection, smiled and did not take Yang Rui seriously.

Van Gundy is also 23 years old and has the coaching qualification. He is 27 years old as an assistant coach of the Knicks. He has been training for four years before he can impress the management. This is the current record of the NBA. If Yang Rui wants to successfully obtain this job, he must be more genius than Van Gundy.

Van Gundy is from the basketball family. Is Yang Rui a g or something?

Their views are similar to those of the team's head coach Kalipari. The Chinese basketball level is not good. Even if a young Chinese has watched the game since he was a child, how deep can he understand the tactics? This person is not very strong, and it is just right to stand up and throw a brick and attract jade.

Yang Rui asked for a tactical pen, quickly drew j on the tactical board, and smiled: I first talk about defense. I think the Bulls' attack strength lies only in Jordan's P-Pong's personal ability, not the whole t. The focus of the triangle offense is to help the stars create singles opportunities. Therefore, my defensive strategy is to shrink the players to the near-the-scenes penalty area, ensure that the two men assisted in defense and double-teaming, and force the opponent to shoot from a long time.

He drew a simple court line on the tactical board, and the players marked it with No. 12345, and their positions were extremely clear. Except for the point guard, the other four people were huddled near the penalty area.

In 1997, computers were not yet common products for homes. Very few ordinary people know how basketball referees work, and it is even more impossible to draw these tactical pictures.

Yang Rui's future work is related to NBA tactics. In the exciting cooperation with Wujiao Ball and other stations, he has to match the goals with tactical running maps. If he is knowledgeable, he has become an expert, and he is more advanced than Jerry's drawing method in the five-star training camp.

Van Gundy immediately had a strange look, which coincided with his thoughts.

At present, the NBA does not allow joint defense, but Van Gundy's trick to survive is pseudo-joint defense. In positional battles, follow the opponent's movement and shrink the formation, block the penalty area with 34 people, forcing the opponent to make mid-range and long-distance shots, rather than breaking into the basket and making layups or dunks.

This defensive effect is obvious. Last season, the Knicks averaged 92.2 points per game, second only to the Heat's 89.3 points, ranking second in the league. The Bulls can only rank third with 92.3 points.

All the experts here, and immediately understood Yang Rui's tactical intentions.s1
