Chapter 119 [Kneel for Uncle]

After the players took a shower, a few people with the best data went to the interview room with Yang Rui, and everyone's waist was straight and majestic. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The Celtics got off to a black start, and reporters found Yang Rui in order to dig up news.

After a season with the Knicks, Yang Rui has never seen reporters so enthusiastic. As an assistant coach, the biggest credit for winning the game can't go to him, but now it's different.

As soon as Yang Rui sat down, reporters began to ask: "Jerry Young, this is your first game as a coach of the Raptors, did you think before the game that you would win big?" ā€

"Of course I didn't expect it, I still can't believe it." Yang Rui squinted his eyes and said quietly: "You know, before the game started, the legendary coach Butch Carter, who had a career record of 5-28, said in an interview that the Raptors are a bad team, and the management signed me completely nonsense, and we were looked down on like this by celebrities, how much pressure we have." ā€

Famous your sister! The reporters were thundered, and the people standing were shooting wildly, big news.

It is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. Yang Rui's heart is really not very broad-minded, and he holds grudges. Whoever provokes him, be mentally prepared to be ridiculed back.

One reporter asked, "And what do you think of Butch Carter?" ā€

Yang Rui replied: "I think in the future, he will replace Pitino as the head coach and general manager of Celtic. Because he is very assertive, only that identity is worthy of him. I've only talked to him once, and he easily refuted all my tactics and basketball philosophies, and I just say one word about him, strong! ā€

The photographer is shooting wildly again.

One person asked, "So, did Butch leave the Raptors because of your disagreement?" ā€

"No kidding, manager Glenn and I almost got down together to keep the guy, but he insisted that the Raptors were too bad to be worthy of him, so he resigned. Glenn cried all night, believe it or not? Yang Rui said seriously, and finally couldn't hold back and smiled. Haha, well, don't believe it, this one really doesn't exist. ā€

The reporters fainted en masse again, young people are really different, they dare to say anything, and they are not afraid of offending people.

This is a different angle of looking at the problem, Yang Rui thinks that Butch Carter is really bold, an assistant coach with little ability, joining a team like the Celtics that can't make the playoffs, he feels like he has his thighs on his shoulders and dares to say anything.

The other party has no scruples, he's afraid of a ball?

The reporter asked: "Who is the core of the Raptors' tactics?" ā€

"Vince Carter, I'm going to develop him into a superstar, he has this potential." Yang Rui replied.

The reporter asked: "What heights do you think he can reach?" ā€

Yang Rui smiled: "If peak Jordan is the god of basketball, Vince will at least be a half-human and half-god in the future." ā€

After Carter participated in the slam dunk contest in 2000, he was called "Halfmanhalfamazing" in the United States, which translates to "half-man and half-god" in Chinese, which means that Carter flies high. Yang Rui threw out this nickname in advance.

It's just a year in advance, it's not a big deal, it's nicknamed Bunker, and Carter certainly won't blame him.

The reporters all gasped, it was big news again.

The Raptors' big win over the Celtics is not news, but what Yang Rui said is full of gimmicks, which is the highest praise a newcomer can get at present.

Yang Rui is not putting pressure on Carter, but wants him to have a clear goal, Carter's defensive performance is a bit poor, and Yang Rui will use Jordan to nag him in the future, maybe he can correct his defensive attitude. With Carter's physicality, as long as he is willing to defend, he is not far behind.

The reporter asked: "Can you comment on the other players who came to the press conference?" ā€

"Of course, who to start with?"

The reporter asked, "Kevin Willis." ā€

"He's still very young, he's not much different from a young guy, and I'm looking forward to him until he is 45 years old and has eight or nine years left in his career." Yang Rui said with a smile.

Looking at it now, many people will think it's a joke, and when it happens, there will definitely be people who admire Yang Rui's vision, and he has laid a foreshadowing for many years of pretending.

"What about Tracy McGrady? He didn't play particularly well last season except for the rookie game, and today he scored comprehensive statistics. ā€

"I'm going to focus on developing him this season, he can be an all-round attacker, an All-Star. His potential is also very high. Yang Rui replied.

The reporter asked, "What about Jermaine O'Neal?" In the summer, many people thought that the Raptors had suffered a big loss by trading Camby for him. ā€

"He was actually proposed by me in exchange, the potential is far better than Camby, and the tactical role is not comparable to Camby. With the Trail Blazers, he's just a marginal guy, and with me, he's going to be an All-Star later. ā€

Good guys, it's only been a while, and you've got three All-Stars on your team, are you crazy?

Many reporters felt this way, the atmosphere was more enthusiastic, and the high-profile people were more topical.

The reporter asked: "Today, the camera captured you eating snacks on the sidelines, and no coach has ever done this, what do you think?" ā€

"I was so nervous when I first became a manager, I usually eat to relax and decompress myself."

Lie! I've never seen a more relaxed coach than you! The female reporter who asked the question was thundered again.

The reporter asked, "What is the goal of the Raptors this season?" ā€

"Personally, I wanted to make the playoffs, but it was very difficult and the management didn't set a goal, so we're just playing happily and we'll see. If the Raptors end up at the bottom, it's because there are too many newcomers, inexperience, and human nature. If you accidentally make the playoffs, then everyone will work hard and take a holiday later. ā€

I'll rub it, this can be too. The reporters were shocked, and they had never seen a coach answer the target question so childishly.

A reporter asked, "You basketball ...... Concept, will you not take the game too seriously? ā€

Yang Rui said lightly: "I think attitude is the most important thing in the world. Whatever you do, only when you are convinced that there is value or meaning in doing it, can you experience joy and have a positive attitude. ā€

Suddenly, he said something meaningful, and the reporters fell silent.

Yang Rui smiled slightly, "On the contrary, if a person does not experience happiness in work or activities, he will have a negative attitude. For me, it's a joy to be a coach and get every cell in my body to rush to action. So, with the Raptors that I coached, the most important thing is that everybody is happy, and we have to try to make the fans happy too. ā€

The reporters were stunned.

People like Sloan, Riley, Chuck Daley, Larry Brown, they think that basketball training and games are boring, hard, and painful, where is there any joy there?! Only a soldier's iron will win.

Unless their team wins the championship, there is no joy, only oppression, which is why many players will strike for high salaries, and most people feel that it is not easy to play.

Yang Rui's words are contrary to the iron-blooded concept of old-school coaches.
