Chapter 644 [A Little Stimulation, Tumor Curry]
After the draft, the Clippers announced that Yang Rui had joined the team on a record-breaking five-year, 60 million coaching contract and held a press conference.
Fans around the world were shocked, and although Yang Rui had long expressed his intention to join a bad team, few people guessed that he would go to the Clippers, even if he bought a new mansion in Los Angeles.
The Clippers are of course a bad team, and they are unprecedentedly bad in the NBA, and after Jordan's Bobcats made the playoffs, many people thought that they were better than the Clippers, because the Bobcats were the youngest team with potential.
What about the Clippers? Founded in 1970 and joined the NBA, they have never broken through the first round of the playoffs in 30 years, what a shocking result, they should find the boatman of "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" as an endorsement......
Reporters from all over the world rushed to Los Angeles, and nearly 1,000 people crowded the interview venue, and there were too many people to ask questions, so Yang Rui could only choose representative questions to answer.
What everyone wants to know most is, of course, why Yang Rui chose the Clippers.
Yang Rui replied without thinking about it: "Because it's close to home, I can't live in a mansion, let's rent a house in other places, and I also want to invest in movies, and my friends are all in Los Angeles, so it's convenient to stay here." ”
One reporter asked, "Then why don't you renew your contract with the Lakers?" ”
"It's not a challenge, I made it clear when I won the title the previous season, I want to find a little bit of excitement." Yang Rui smiled.
The reporter asked: "However, the Lakers did not win a championship last season. ”
"I don't think it's a challenge, it doesn't mean that others don't, just like I didn't have Kobe Bryant and still led the team to victory. Now that I'm leaving, I don't care what the Lakers do in the future. ”
The flashing lights are flashing together, and the media is ready to talk about Scott and Kobe Bryant tomorrow. As early as 2003, when Yang Rui led the Wizards to defeat the Nets, he played Scott around, and the Nets were still infighting at that time; Now, Yang Rui seems to implicitly say that Kobe is better than the Lakers.
Last year, Lakers management interviewed multiple candidates, and Scott has been a hot candidate. On the one hand, Scott was a member of the Purple and Gold Army when he was a player, helping the team win three championships; On the other hand, Lakers star Kobe Bryant has a good personal relationship with Scott, and he very much recognizes Scott's coaching ability; Then there is Scott cheap, the contract is only 4 years and 17 million.
The reporter asked: "Kobe Bryant played luxury statistics again last season, but the Lakers lost to the Spurs, and the regular season record was average, do you think it was the reason why he was too lonely?" ”
Yang Rui smiled: "Can you ask more questions about the Clippers?" Since I have left the Lakers, Kobe Bryant will play no matter how he plays, I will not say him again, he is free, and it doesn't matter if he leads the lottery every year in the future. I, like a lot of fans, love watching him play. ”
Yang Rui's last sentence is like praising Kobe, but some fans like to count the stars and strike iron, and this thing is also recorded.
The reporter asked: "You coach the Clippers, what are your goals for the new season?" ”
Yang Rui replied: "Championship, my goal is actually always only the championship, no matter how good or bad the lineup is. ”
The reporters were shooting wildly again, and Yang Rui was probably the only one on the planet who dared to shout the slogan of winning the championship in the Clippers.
"Will the Clippers sign big-name stars in the summer? A lot of stars have entered the free market this year. "It's a topic that everybody is interested in.
Yang Rui thought for a moment and smiled: "It depends on whether the stars in the free market are suitable for the team system, and the stars who have not yet won the championship can contact the Clippers to recommend themselves, and I suggest they do this and seize this opportunity." If you don't ship this year, it will be difficult to win the championship in the future. On the contrary, it will be easy to join the Clippers and win the championship. There are too many people in just one place, and I am afraid that it will be too easy to win, and there will be no competition. ”
The reporters all felt that this trip was in vain, Yang Rui was too arrogant, and his speech became more and more arrogant year by year.
In order to recruit stars to join, the management of other teams often organizes groups to invite, Corporal Lixian, his posture is very low, Yang Rui's attitude is like saying: "If you don't follow me, you will regret it"! "I'm the boss of the Clippers, and you're all going to be honest with me."
Yang Rui really thinks so in his heart, he likes obedient players, and he plans to focus on cultivating Griffin and Curry in the new season.
The Clippers are his turf, and he doesn't allow any more players like Kobe Bryant to challenge the authority of the coach, and if there are players on the team who become such people in the future, he will also send them away.
That's what Popovich did with the Spurs, so the team can stay strong, and even if Duncan retires, the Spurs are still the championship favorites.
One person asked: "The Clippers sent two draft picks and traded Stephen Curry, is that what do you mean?" ”
"That's right, I asked for a trade, the Clippers lack a good point guard, and Curry is worth developing."
Yang Rui stopped at the point, and did not comment too much on Curry, for fear that this child would be proud. Keep a little mystery, and people will be even more surprised if Curry breaks out next season.
The Chinese reporter asked: "Yao Ming is a restricted free man this year, he can jump out of the contract, will you cooperate with him again?" ”
Yang Rui directly gave a negative answer. "No, I'm looking for novelty, I rarely work with players I've worked with twice, their potential has been developed, and then working together is immediate, I don't think it's challenging. Now I'd rather be a rival with Yao Ming. ”
Yang Rui's answer will disappoint Chinese fans and bring a sigh of relief to many team management.
If the Clippers want to trade Yao Ming with the Lakers, the Lakers will not change it, Yao Ming looks insoluble in Yang Rui's system, and the Clippers do not have the chips that the Lakers can look at, even if Griffin did not play last season, many people are worried that he is the next Oden.
The next day, the media reported Yang Rui's press conference, and many people commented on it online.
Fans found that Yang Rui really hasn't worked with any star twice, all of them are looking for newcomers to cultivate, even role players rarely cooperate again, the only exception is Matt Barnes, who is just a marginal person.
"It's really domineering, people who have brought it once will no longer cooperate, even MVP-level players only want to be opponents. No other coach in the league dared to do this, and everyone else was eager to form a team and find someone they were familiar with. ”
"If the Clippers can make it to the Western Conference finals next season, Jerry Young will be a god."
"Dell Curry has worked with Yang Rui, he used to lead his father to win the championship, and now he coaches his son, time flies so fast."
"Stephen Curry has booked an All-Star spot, and the post is proof of that."
Just because of Yang Rui's handpick, Curry, who was not much followed last season, has increased his exposure, and people no longer say that he is the defensive black hole that drags Ellis down, and they are looking forward to his performance next season.
Curry himself was the happiest, not wanting to stay in Milwaukee for a moment, and immediately rushed to Los Angeles to find a place to live.
Curry's life was dark last season, the Bucks were one of the last teams he wanted to join, and the team boss didn't like him.
After the 2009 draft, Ellis faced media interviews and bluntly said that he did not agree with the new partner selected by the team, and was unwilling to play with Curry, and Curry, who was excluded for no reason, was innocent.
Every time he called home, Curry told his parents that he was doing well and that he didn't have to worry, that he was actually homesick, but he felt that he had grown up and didn't want to show his weak side.
Every time the Bucks lose a game, fans don't say anything nice about Curry, even though he's much more efficient at scoring than Ellis.
"Give Ellis the ball, Curry, SB, we're going to see individual scores."
"Curry's cancer is that he doesn't give Ellis the ball, and Ellis can compete for the scoring title without him."
Now, he finally doesn't have to see it on the Internet.
