The Pope of Basketball Community

The Toyota car rented by Thomas took the two of them to the hotel they booked.

The coach lived in a suite with a big bed and a comfortable sofa, so Thomas decided to live directly.

Thibodeau squinted his eyes, as if he had discovered something serious, and was secretly amused. In the United States, GAY is common, and Yang Rui's spine was chilled by his staring, and he didn't explain.

Some things can't be explained, and the description becomes darker and darker.

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

What's interesting is that when the players came, they greeted Thibodeau first. When they heard that Yang Rui was the head coach this time, their first reaction was bewildered.

Chucky Atkins reacted the most. "Are you kidding me? He doesn't look as old as my cousin who just started college."

"It's not a joke. I have the final say on who plays more, who is the core, and what tactics to play." Yang Rui walked up to Atkins and said with a smile, "So, you'd better not mess with me."

His tone was amiable and his smile was bright, but Atkins felt so much pressure that he didn't dare to say a word anymore. A lunatic would do this if he wanted to bet on his own future by showing off his quick tongue.

Yang Rui saw the youthful Stephen Jackson, his facial features were still childish, but his body was very strong.

Mickey Moore, with dreadlocks, arrived in a sleeveless sports T-shirt, revealing the snake tattoo on his right arm, which may be the origin of his nickname.

The seemingly loyal Bruce Bowen greeted everyone and seemed the most approachable. If he hadn't been born again, Yang Rui would have been deceived. In fact, he has a villain's heart.

Only the one in Ben Wallace's impression and Yang Rui's is almost the same, except that the hairstyle is not explosive. His arms are now as thick as many people's heads, and his expression is serious and fierce.

The players didn't say hello to Daben. His face made people feel that he wanted to find someone bad luck, and he would open up when he didn't agree with him. He will have a future if he doesn't play basketball and joins the underworld.

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

The summer league will not give the players time to adjust. If your personal ability is not strong, it is really a dream to think about "sharpening your guns before the battle." It is precisely because it is difficult for an impromptu team to play tacit understanding that Glenn Walsh is not optimistic about Yang Rui and this team, and there is some reason for it.

After running laps and warming up, Yang Rui asked everyone to gather for pre-war mobilization.

He smiled and said: "I know that some people will question my ability because of my young age. Although I am the first assistant coach of the Knicks at the age of 23 and a genius recognized by the management, you are all worthless. People want, it is difficult to find marginal people with basic salary jobs in the NBA, but I can completely understand your thoughts."

One word popped into everyone's mind at this moment—damn!

Thibodeau asked Thomas, who followed to see the excitement. "Has he always been such an arrogant person?"

Thomas was dumbfounded and subconsciously shook his head. "I doubt very much that this is not the man I know."

Even if this is a group of fringe players who have been patched together, Thibodeau dare not say that. If these people don't play well and the team loses in a row, the coach will be responsible.

Yang Rui didn't think so, he was taking advantage of the situation to suppress others. A record-setting 23-year-old coach, how do these outsiders know his status in the Knicks?

If it is really a genius recognized by the management, and the focus is on training targets, is it not easy to handle them? Yang Rui is already in this position, they dare not believe it.

"So, everyone must listen carefully to what I say, if you want to join the Knicks." Yang Rui paused and suddenly raised his voice. "This summer, you are fighting for an opportunity for yourself. I can give you this opportunity. Tell me, do you have any goals?"

"have!"

Yang Rui has been paying attention,

Four people spoke, and their voices were loud. The four are Ben Wallace, Jackson, Atkins and Bowen.

Why are many physically invincible men unable to play in the NBA? Because the player's mental attributes are equally important. Everyone who has left their names in the NBA, except Moore, has spoken. "Snake Man" is a weird guy who doesn't like to talk.

When the big waves wash the sand, what is left is gold. There are less than 400 players in the world who can play in the 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." Daben had already put away his contempt for Yang Rui. In the position of a coach, it is enough to be tough, and you don't need to be physically stronger than the players.

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

"420 pounds." Big Ben broke out a surprising figure, which is about 190 kilograms in conversion.

The current Big Ben is not as perverted as the rumors on the Internet in later generations, and this number is terrifying enough. His upper body strength can rank among the top five in the league. Only O'Neal, Dampier and other strong men are similar to him.

When he was in college, Daben had strong upper body strength, so several schools wanted to recruit him to play football, but he refused.

"Your goal will be achieved. I think you have both strength and speed. You can defend pick-and-rolls fast enough and you can also carry a center forward. You just need to focus on training to help defend and block shots and control rebounds. In the future, you may To become an All-Star, I am very optimistic about you." Yang Rui said seriously.

With a few simple words of encouragement, the tough guy was very excited and shouted: "Yes."

It was his dream word. In the past, no matter how hard he tried, no one was optimistic about him. Even if the Wizards signed him, they only regarded him as the last choice for the bench.

"With your height, no matter how strong you are, so what?"

"I've never seen a player worse than your free throws. If you don't work hard on offense, don't want to stay in the Wizards in the future, even if you are a marginal player."

"You should be playing football, basketball isn't for you."

Da Ben heard too many negative words, and after graduating from high school, he didn't dare to think about becoming a star anymore, and he didn't even dare to mention it. Now, Yang Rui ignited a fire in Da Ben's heart, and Da Ben felt that at this moment, it was about to explode!

Thibodeau watched from the side, knowing that Yang Rui had insight into the other party's heart and resonated with him, but he didn't understand how he did it.

Yang Rui walked towards the other person. "Bruce Bowen, you were very loud just now, what is your goal?"

Bao Wen was very happy to hear Yang Rui call out his name, but he is not famous.

He said excitedly: "I also want to be a super defensive player."

"The Knicks are known for their defense. They know how to defend, are willing to work hard, and have the greatest chance of staying. Even if you don't score the whole game, it doesn't matter. You just need to throw open balls. This time, show your defensive talent and don't do it for the data. Things you are not good at." Yang Rui gave Bao Wen advice.

Bowen is older than Yang Rui, but the other party's words make him feel at ease, as if there is a kind of magic power.

Before coming here, he had been practicing shooting at home, fearing that he would be abandoned due to poor statistics. Now the coach says it doesn't matter if he can't score, he likes it so much.

Bo Wen really wanted to tell Yang Rui: "If the head coach of the Knicks can be selected by voting, I will definitely vote for you. You vote."
