On the 22nd, the Knicks beat the Mavericks 109-71 at home and went into garbage time in less than three quarters. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ewing played 25 minutes, shot 9-of-10 and 2-of-2 from the free-throw line, scored 20 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists, and was amazingly efficient.

Facing the 206CM tall interior AC Green and the short point guard, Ewing's turnaround jumper is almost incomprehensible, and the jump shooting ability is historic among centers.

Defensively, he can cover the box in a wide area, as long as he doesn't deal with breakaway defenders, and he is excellent in individual defense.

Ewing, who is physically fit and full of energy, is definitely an inside superstar.

Alan Houston also thrived in the new system, scoring 35 points on 12-of-18 shooting, 7-of-11 three-pointers and 4-of-4 free throws for 24 minutes.

He is not Yang Rui's "mid-pitch king" style of play in his previous life, more like the Warriors' Klay Thompson, who generally holds the ball for no more than two seconds, and his shots are particularly resolute, and he is very windy.

In 2016, Thompson played 29 minutes against the Pacers, shooting 21-of-33, 8-of-14 three-pointers, and 10-of-11 free throws, scoring 60 points in the third quarter, becoming the fewest 60+ scorers in history.

Thompson's 60 points were not only the shortest minutes he played, but his ball-bearing time on the court was frighteningly short. Statistically, Thompson dribbled the ball just 11 times in the course of hitting those 21 field goals, averaging just 1.5 seconds of time in his hands at a time.

In addition, according to NBA reporters, Thompson touched the ball 46 times in the game, and the total time with the ball was only 90 seconds.

When Yang Rui was training, he asked Houston to shoot when he received the ball, or pass when he took the ball, and he almost didn't need the ball, and became Ewing's golden partner. His stats are not much prettier than in his previous life, and they are much more efficient.

The Mavericks only had seven players on the court, and no one was available, even if the score was behind, the core Michael Finley played the whole game.

As Yang Rui planned, the Knicks got a rare four-day rest period before facing the underdog Raptors at home on the evening of the 27th.

Considering that the Raptors was a free victory, everyone can breathe a sigh of relief.

On the 23rd, Yang Rui received a phone call in the morning that the Chinese-language media in New York wanted to conduct an exclusive interview with him in his apartment, and the Chinese in New York were curious about his living conditions, which was a gimmick.

When she arrived at Yang Rui's house, Chinese female reporter Li Rong brought peach pie as a gift.

Yang Rui greeted him in a pair of ugly orangutan cotton slippers, as if he had two Ewing on his feet. He wasn't nervous when he saw the camera, saying he didn't mind being filmed foot.

After a few words, the interview began.

Li Rong faced the camera and said: "This season, there is a story about dreams and persistence in New York, the protagonist behind it is not an NBA star who is overconsumed by the media and symbolized by fans, but a big boy with the same body as ordinary people. ”

The so-called empathy is the invisible discrimination encountered by Chinese people when applying for jobs, and the fact that Yang Rui ran to hundreds of schools and did not find a job has long been exposed.

Yang Rui waved towards the camera and said in Chinese: "Hello everyone, I am Jerry Yang, assistant coach of the Knicks, and my Chinese name is Yang Rui." ”

Li Rong smiled and asked, "Jerry, what do you think is the secret of your success?" ”

"Ability." Yang Rui smiled: "Because I am only 23 years old, if I want to get this job, I must have extraordinary ability." ”

He said this a little uncooperatively, and it seemed that he was not a big boy like other Chinese. But this is not pride, but fact.

It is true that there are many talents in this world who are buried, but those who have achieved amazing results are generally not ordinary people.

The first question, Yang Rui showed great self-confidence, Li Rong looked at Yang Rui's eyes changed, most women like confident men, except for those who "boast of themselves".

Li Rong asked, "So what is the most important thing in life for you?" ”

"Family, brother." Yang Rui replied.

The most important thing is not basketball? This is not the same as Li Rong guessed, it seems more humane.

She looked at Thomas Bentley on the side, the fact that Yang Rui was an orphan had long been made public, and the family and brothers he said were all the ones in front of him, quite handsome.

Li Rong asked, "Do you have a religion?" ”

"Nope." Yang Rui smiled.

In fact, he has some belief in his heart that the world is Korean, and when he reaches the crossing point in his future, he is ready to stock up on a batch of mobile phones, and when he is old, he will try it at home when he has nothing to do.

Li Rong asked: "Now that you are famous, do your former friends have any opinions?" ”

"Then you'll have to interview Tom, the only friend I used to know, there's no doubt that I've been so miserable before. Before joining the Knicks, I worked at a snack bar near the arena and was almost penniless. ”

Yang Rui was still smiling, but Li Rong was shocked, what a powerful psychological quality it was to be able to tell her tragic past so easily.

This contrast will make people think that Yang Rui is amazing. Who would have thought that to him, it was not his own?

In the last interview, he only gave a few numbers in general terms, and did not elaborate on the process of hard work. Just because he has no sense of substitution, even if he has a memory, he doesn't feel that he did it himself.

Li Rong asked, "Has anyone asked you for an autograph?" ”

"Yes, very little, I'm just an assistant coach after all, it's normal. If I become a manager in the future, I believe more people will ask me for an autograph. Yang Rui replied.

"Do you have the confidence to be a manager in the future?"

"Of course, but I'm afraid I'm going to leave the Knicks at that point, Jeff Van Gundy is a great coach, we're still good friends, we can't take his job, right? If other teams are willing to give me the opportunity to coach, I certainly won't let them down. Yang Rui seized the opportunity to advertise himself.

Although it is a Chinese-language TV station, other media may also translate.

On the one hand, Yang Rui praised Van Gundy, and said that he couldn't rob him of his job, and the implied line was "I'm not worse than Van Gundy" or "I'm better than Van Gundy".

The phrase "we are very good friends" was to appease Van Gundy, and Lao Fan couldn't get angry when he saw it, otherwise he would be too few friends.

The next questions revolved around basketball and what Yang did with the Knicks, how he was involved in the discussions, how he helped the players with their tactics, and so on.

These things are nothing special, he is proficient in an academic coach, and Jerry's memory came in handy in the past, and Yang Rui could say a bunch of theories when he opened his mouth, which made fans unaware of it.

To put it bluntly, "academic coaches" are the kind of coaches who have a very good basketball level, have no player career, and are trained in sports academies, training camps and other places.

Yang Rui answered every question very well, and the interview ended successfully.
