Yang Rui and Raptors manager Glenn Gruward met in New York to finalize the contract. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

His requirements were too simple, so simple that Glenn felt that he was young and didn't know how to do it, and in the end, Yang Rui insisted on signing for only one year, and when he mentioned salary, he came to a sentence. "You look at it, and the contract will be renewed next year if the results are out."

The salary is given casually, and the league cannot find a second person for this kind of demand. Glenn suspects that he is old, how can he negotiate a head coach contract in the NBA, as if he did not have to bargain for groceries in the supermarket?

Yang Rui knew that he was going to stop next, and the season was reduced to only 50 games, and his salary couldn't be high. He only signed for one year to retire, and the Raptors have a number of potential newcomers in the new season, as long as they stay, they will definitely make results.

He doesn't seek to recruit big-name stars, just keep a few new people, and the management will definitely give him face.

In his previous life, the unruly assistant coach Butch Carter succeeded Darnell Walker as head coach and almost led the team to the playoffs in '99.

This person has only been a coach with the Raptors for more than two years, and his level is extremely low, under the premise of having Carter, Maddy, Di Bron, Christie and other speed-type outside lines, he insisted on playing positional offense for two years, focusing on defense, and only averaged 91.1 points per game in the shrinking season, and it is not too much to say that he is sick in the brain.

As long as Yang Rui successfully leads the Raptors into the playoffs, it should attract other teams to poach next year, and the Raptors must offer a high salary if they want to keep people, which is definitely much higher than Glenn's previous long-term contract offer.

Yang Rui's request was that the first assistant coach must be Tom Thibodeau. Another member of the championship team came to pitch, digging into the corner of the Knicks coaching staff to buy one get one free, and of course Glenn happily agreed.

After the negotiation, Yang Rui and Thibodeau immediately flew to Toronto, officially signed the contract and held a press conference.

Raptors owner Chad Pedy was on hand to welcome: "Jerry Young just helped the Knicks win an NBA championship, and he made a team with an ugly offense the most offensive team. He's so good that you can ignore his age and every player I've asked has said it's a surprise that he's coming as a coach. ”

The Raptors, who have been eliminated a long time ago, the players are all on vacation and resting, has the owner asked them who knows? It's just a gimmick.

Glenn also said: "We have a lot of confidence in Jerry that he will definitely build the Raptors into an offensive powerhouse. ”

Yang Rui was the protagonist of the press conference, and when asked by reporters, he said: "I aspire to become the head coach and get a bigger stage, and when this opportunity came, my family and I were so excited that we trembled." ”

The reporter asked: "What do you think about the Raptors?" ”

"It's a young team with potential, but it's a pity that the previous coach didn't know how to develop and wasted a lot of talent for newcomers, such as Tracy, who was a blue-collar player in the team last season...... His conditions are perfectly capable of becoming a star swingman. And Camby, Doug Christie, they made a big impression on me. ”

Yang Rui sent a signal - I want to reuse you.

He was afraid that Camby would run away in vain like in his previous life, and the Raptors actually traded him for veteran Charles Oakley, which is simply a neurosis, both of them are blue-collar workers, why do you exchange the potential inside line for a veteran who is in a declining period, with a high salary and low ability?

The reporter asked: "Will they be the core of the team in the new season?" ”

Yang Rui said: "This will be discussed after a specific investigation. ”

The reporter asked: "Labor negotiations are not going well, the new season is likely to be suspended, there is not enough time to run-in, have you ever thought about how to face this problem?" ”

"Playing simple and easy-to-understand tactics, running in the regular season, there is a saying in China, soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and I will do my best to help the team win."

The reporter asked: "What are your goals for the new season?" ”

"Turn the Raptors into a team with a lot of offense and win offense. In addition, lead the team to the playoffs. Yang Rui replied happily.

This answer shook a room full of people. Glenn was surprised, Yang Rui and the Raptors made a bet that they would enter the playoffs, and there was no need to make it public. Once it is made public, the meaning is different, and if you can't do it, it will cause criticism.

The reporters were immediately excited, big news.

Someone asked, "The Raptors were only the bottom team in the East last season, is that what management is asking you to do?" Do you find it too difficult? ”

"It's not a request from management, but I'm personally optimistic about the prospects of the Raptors, once people have goals, they will become full of energy."

The reporter asked: "How sure are you that you can do this?" ”

"Fifty percent, I don't think the Raptors are a bad team, there are a lot of great potential players here, as long as they trust me, I will work wonders with them." Yang Rui smiled.

Owner Chad was stunned, if it weren't for the fact that the Knicks had just won the championship and had an outstanding offense, the Jazz and Bulls couldn't prevent it, he would have suspected that the team had found a madman.

No one thinks the Raptors will make the playoffs, and from the mouth of the youngest head coach in history, it's sure to make sports headlines in Canada.

Sure enough, Duolun multimedia reported this incident to the maximum, and Chinese fans were boiling, and many people said that they would start to pay attention to this team that has been at the bottom since joining the NBA in the new season.

The management predicts that the home attendance rate will definitely increase in the new season, and the billboards and broadcast rights on the sidelines should also be in place. Win or not, they can make a little more money.

After only one day of signing, the Raptors had a tendency to "turn over serfs and sing", and Chad was very happy, praised Glenn's operation, and invited Yang Rui to dinner to look forward to next season.

Although the Raptors ranked second to last in the league, they failed to draw the top three in the draft lottery and only got the fourth pick.

Other local media have also reported the news of the Raptors, and the length is not small.

"The Knicks coaching staff is split, and Tom and Jerry move to the Toronto Raptors."

"Becoming an NBA head coach at the age of 24, Chinese talent Jerry Young has set a magical record."

"From the first in the East to the bottom of the East, Jerry Young said that he will lead the Raptors to rise and win offense."

"The wildest declaration in history, Jerry Young expressed confidence that he will lead the bottom team to the playoffs."

The fans passed more mysteriously among them. Yang Rui, who was only 24 years old, suddenly wore a yellow robe, and most fans were curious about his past, began to inquire about his information, and after finding out that he was an orphan, they admired his achievements even more.

If you don't have a strong background, you can become an NBA head coach based on your own ability, and this is heavenly.

Taking advantage of the Knicks' championship, Yang Rui's name suddenly entered everyone's field of vision, including league president David Stern.

Yang Rui has no money and no connections for the media to help him hype, in order to gain higher popularity and exposure, he can only say some big things and attract attention with difficult goals.

What he didn't expect was that his bold words triggered a butterfly effect, and the president of the alliance considered promoting him.
