Chapter 22 [New Apartment, New Goal]
In the evening, Achill received a call from his father, Andy Strachan, telling him that he had been expelled from the basketball team and that he would receive an official notice tomorrow. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Achill was stunned. "Dad, what are you talking about? Didn't I sign a contract? ”
"Because you racially discriminated against a Chinese, the contract was nullified, and there was no liquidated damages, you idiot!"
"Jerry, you say? You're kidding, aren't you? Achill asked aloud.
"You can check the Internet yourself, and go online more in the future, so as not to look down on people who are much better than you, you don't know." Andy finished aloud and hung up the phone.
He felt that his son was hopeless, and at the age of 31, he wasted a lot of effort to get the qualification certificate, what is there to be proud of?
USC University didn't give their father and son any face, just kidding, smeared the school and still want liquidated damages?
Achill has an arrogant personality and always speaks in a weird way, often sarcastically even to his friends, taking pleasure in it. Therefore, the people who attended the party confirmed Yang Rui's identity last night, but no one persuaded him to apologize, and it was irretrievable until now.
It's none of your business, hang high. Most people will hide in the dark and watch the excitement, unless someone close to them has an accident.
Those who have also sarcastically ridiculed Yang Rui are too late to hide now, how can they stand on the same front as Achill?
Archer was dumbfounded when he checked the news on the Internet, it turned out that the person he despised was really the assistant coach of the Knicks, and he was also the first assistant coach, compared with him, a college assistant coach, the gap was too big. And he also scolded the Knicks management, which is simply tricks.
The gap between the two is not only in the annual salary, but also in status and future.
Working for the Knicks, it's easy to build up contacts and get to know some big names. As a coach in school, the most I hope will be an NBA star under my command.
If the NBA assistant coach does a good job, he is likely to become a head coach in the future. Yang Rui is only 23 years old, as long as he is not particularly bad, the chances of becoming a head coach are too great. This kind of person, it's too late for people in the coaching circle to scold him, how can there be sarcasm and sarcasm, and take the initiative to make enemies?
Things were a lot more troublesome than Achill had imagined. Yang Rui is not an ordinary coach, he is Chinese-American, and he is the only Chinese in the world to coach in the NBA.
The well-documented incidents of racial discrimination have had a very bad impact in the United States, and many Chinese protests have brought shame to the British.
Achill saw the video on the Internet and saw his ugliness, he hated Yang Rui, and immediately picked up the phone and wanted to call Yang Rui, pressed a few numbers and put it down.
What can you say by calling now? Isn't this self-inflicted humiliation?
After shouting, he couldn't get him back to work. threaten Yang Rui, then the matter will be even bigger. The Internet is one-sided, Yang Rui can sue him at any time and ask for mental damages, can he win the lawsuit?
He was scared and couldn't muster up the courage to contact Yang Rui.
He found that he didn't know this person, and he didn't expect the other party to be so cunning and enter the party with a camera. If he doesn't know how to come up, I'm afraid it will be even worse.
Unbeknownst to Achill, the worst had already happened when the Five Star Club was preparing to send an application to the Coaching Association to disqualify him as a basketball coach.
The next day, Thomas Bentley saw the morning news with a fierce look in his eyes and no intention of reconciliation. "Jerry, are you going to sue that guy? There is a video testimony, it will definitely win, and I can help you find a lawyer. ”
"It's too troublesome, I don't hate him to the point of suing him, let him fend for himself." Yang Rui is not interested in killing them all, more things are better than less things.
Losing his job, not even being able to coach anymore, Achill has already paid the price.
Seeing that Thomas was still unhappy, Yang Rui diverted the topic: "How about finding a new apartment first?" It's too crowded here. ”
"Okay, when?"
"I went to see it today, and my colleague recommended a suitable apartment." Yang Rui has connections, and the members of the management are all living in New York, and recommending an apartment is a trivial matter.
After calling Scott Maguire, the two met the landlord and looked at the two-bedroom apartment, not far from the arena.
Both were satisfied, immediately signed a contract and paid a year's rent.
After discussion, the two added a lot of new furniture, bought a TV and put it in the living room, two black sofa chairs are facing the TV, as well as two large beds, desks, and cabinets.
Thomas likes the TV series "Friends", and the room is completely based on the apartment of Chandler and Joey in the second season, and Yang Rui agrees with the proposal of this secondary disease, and he also likes this American drama.
Moving into a new apartment, Thomas also got a job on Wall Street and got busy.
Because of the interview, the whole United States knows about Yang Rui, but before the NBA enters the offseason, before he makes achievements, the big media are not interested in interviewing him, let alone over-fermenting the discrimination.
So Yang Rui was very leisurely and began to enjoy the holidays, waiting for the team's training camp to start in September. Coaches are more comfortable than players, so they don't have to train hard during the holidays and don't have to worry about slipping into form.
Knicks management is still working, calling all five of the Knicks' starting points in Summer League and signing preseason training camp contracts with Bowen, Moore, Ben Wallace and Jackson to represent the Knicks in the preseason game in October.
Ernie admired Atkins' attacking talent and threw out a two-year contract with full coverage for the first year and a team option for the second.
Chris Childs and Charlie Ward are not very good at breaking, they can play when defending, and if they need someone to step up their offense in the second quarter, Atkins, a short guard, can be useful.
The Knicks currently have 10 players under contract, and it's not out of the question that all five of them will stay in Summer League. For this reason, they are all looking for local special training to strive to become stronger.
The Wizards wanted to give up Ben Wallace, but he was too eye-catching in the summer league, and manager Jenor Conley contacted him again to sign outright.
"Ben, you've done a great job in the summer league, and we're willing to offer a base salary, and if you practice shooting more in the summer and improve your offensive ability, you'll be part of the rotation."
A basic salary is what Ben is pursuing, if he hadn't seen Yang Rui, he would definitely agree directly to the wizard. When he heard the call this time, he fell silent.
Big Ben remembered what Yang Rui had said to him.
"Strength and defense are your weapons, and that's the first thing you need to strengthen, don't think about offense."
"Defense, as long as you can defend well, you can't score a point, I'm the coach and I'll let you start."
"Ben, I think your height is an advantage. If you grow to 215cm, you can't attack, and you lack mobility, then that kind of player is really useless. ”
"The goal is too low, and I'm optimistic that you will become an All-Star."
If I sign for the Wizards, I may only be able to be a marginal player, but if I join the Knicks, will I be a consistent rotation player? Jerry would definitely offer to reuse me.
In the summer league, Big Ben blocked and grabbed rebounds a little addictively, and even in the NBA, he was confident that he could do better.
After thinking about it, he took a deep breath and said slowly, "I'm sorry, I refuse." ”
Jena couldn't believe it and asked, "Why?" Did someone offer you a better contract? ”
"No, but my goal is to join the Knicks."
Jenner knew there was no way to talk, and the other side had lost interest in the Wizards. He regretted it a little, he should have been more decisive in the summer.
