The game ended, 106-83, and the Knicks won the Summer League championship. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The players walked into the pitch together to shake hands. Players who play well and role players have completely different moods, so there is a strange scene, and many people have a bitter smile and don't look like they are celebrating the championship.

The organizers held a simple award ceremony, and the champion and MVP had trophies.

Yang Rui took the trophy, looked at it and handed it to Thibodeau, who was very happy, guessing that the two of them would definitely have a lot of bonuses when they went back. This victory will give them a foothold directly in the coaching staff.

Thibodeau was old and needed a stable job, and he didn't want to live a bumpy life anymore, and the Knicks were a good choice.

He couldn't help but raise the trophy and shouted twice, and found that Yang Rui didn't react, and the embarrassment was committed again.

Why do you look more like a young man?!

Chaggy Atkins was voted Summer League MVP, averaging 24.5 points, 2 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game, and his stats are pretty good as the team's leading scorer.

But if Yang Rui is given a choice, he will give the MVP to Ben Wallace, averaging 9.2 points, 19.7 rebounds, 1.5 steals, 5 blocks and 6 fouls per game, which is even more amazing.

Since the Summer League rule is 10 fouls before he can be sent off, Big Ben has played a fantastic statistic and by regular season standards, he will be sent off per game, which is probably why he was not selected.

He showed a ferocious defense, which was a playoff level, and he hit opponents who staggered, and many balls that the NBA wouldn't blow, and here he blew. Join the Knicks, Big Ben is even more useful.

Sports reporters who know the ball think the same way, and the reporter of "Hoop World" interviewed Big Ben. "You played well in this league and are the backbone of the team's defense, how do you feel about winning the championship?"

"It's my job to defend, and I feel really good, running around the court, getting blocks, and grabbing rebounds," Big Ben excitedly said. I would like to thank the coach for believing in me. ”

The reporter asked, "Do you think you'll get a contract with the Knicks?" Could your height be a hindrance of sorts? ”

"Hopefully, I'm totally ready. I don't think height is a hindrance, Charles Oakley is not very tall, and it is more important to be brave on the inside. I've watched a lot of Charles games and he's a great defender and I've always tried to learn something from him. ”

Big Ben and Oakley have known each other for a long time and regard Oakley as the big brother, which is why he especially wants to join the Knicks. He doesn't want to say this in front of the media, unless one day he becomes famous.

Yang Rui was about to return to the locker room after taking a group photo with the players when he was stopped by a blonde female reporter.

"Hello, I'm a reporter for Los Angeles Sports Channel, can I delay you a little longer?"

"Of course." Yang Rui smiled.

The cameraman pointed the camera at him, and Yang Rui was a little nervous. Facing the camera alone is different from sitting on the sidelines and coaching.

"How old are you, please? What is your name? ”

"23 years old, Jerry Young."

The female reporter was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise: "You became the assistant coach of the Knicks at the age of 23 and led the team to achieve good results, how did you do it?" Any tips? ”

"I went with Tom Thibodeau to the management for an interview to discuss basketball tactics and then we stayed together. It's not a secret, it's a strength. Yang Rui smiled and said very simply.

The female reporter felt that he was extremely high-profile and confident.

"Is there anything you'd like to say about the Knicks?"

"Jeff Van Gundy was a young coach when he joined the Knicks, and now he's continuing the Knicks' tradition of valuing people regardless of age, and I'm grateful to him and the management for giving me the opportunity to prove myself."

The female reporter asked, "How many points do you give yourself this summer league?" ”

"Full marks." Yang Rui said with a smile.

If modesty is too hypocritical, and he gives himself a low score, what about the coaches of the teams that lost miserably to the Knicks? Can only be fired?

The reporter asked: "Where do you think you will go in the future?" After the NBA regular season starts, are you confident that you can help your team play well? ”

"Of course, I'll work with the rest of the coaching staff to support Jeff and set up the best tactics for the stars."

The interview ended quickly, and the assistant coaches were rarely interviewed, and only Chinese American like Yang Rui, or future Spurs female coaches, would have the opportunity to be exposed.

Yang Rui is satisfied, Los Angeles Sports Channel should have a lot of viewers, which will increase his popularity, and there are only a handful of people who have this honor at the beginning of his career.

The biggest shock right now is not the fans, but two of Thomas Bentley's classmates and friends. "Jerry", whom they loved to ignore in the past, led the Knicks to win the summer championship, and there were interviews with reporters after the game.

Ilf Rosenberg's eyes were about to pop out, like a framed rabbit Roger. The game was broadcast live from Los Angeles Sports, and Thomas called for them to watch.

His girlfriend, Hannah McFarlin, who is also a student at Columbia University, asked, "Am I dreaming?" That humble guy actually became an NBA coach and broke the record for age? ”

Ilf was in a state of confusion, and he didn't know what to say, Yang Rui's rise was more difficult than winning the lottery. Thomas asked them to watch TV, just like slapping them with action, don't look down on people in the future, it's too shameless.

At this moment, the phone rang.

Hannah picked it up, and it was Thomas calling.

"Hey, let me tell you, now that I'm going to New York to develop with Jerry, you won't persuade me, will you?" Thomas was proudly showing off on the other end of the phone.

"He's a coach, you're a financer, even in New York, you can't cooperate, why insist on it?" Hannah smiled wryly.

"You are my good friends, I've only known Jerry for more than 4 years, I've known Jerry for 23 years, and we've been a family for as long as I can remember. Will you keep your only family in New York and go to Los Angeles to develop yourself? ”

Hannah was silent, she had no reason to be dissatisfied, she only felt that Jerry was dragging her feet and making Thomas's quality of life decline, but now that the other party is an NBA coach, what else can she say as a friend? There is definitely no harm in getting to know this kind of cattle.

Ilf beckoned and took the phone. "Tom, if you want, go to New York, and when you come to Los Angeles, call Jerry to have fun with you, and don't forget us when it's developed."

"Of course I can't forget it."

"You must be cautious when investing, and if there is any difficulty, call once." Ilf instructed.

"I'm not going to be polite to you." Thomaston paused for a moment and said with a smile: "Don't make the atmosphere so heavy, maybe, we also have the opportunity to cooperate and do something, I will definitely open a company when I have money." ”

"Do you think I like to work for people? It's not necessarily who opens the company first. Ilf snorted.

Thomas finished his internship the day before yesterday, chatted a few words and hung up the phone, and was ready to fly back to New York with Yang Rui.
