The Knicks had a big victory, Yang Rui could remember the first achievement, but the post-match press conference was nothing to him, this is the sorrow of the assistant coach.
The media wanted to interview the stars and the head coach, and the assistants could only stay behind the scenes and do their best.
Six of the team scored in double figures, 20 points against Larry Johnson of the old club, 8 of 10 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, 3 of 4 free throws, scary efficiency, and 5 rebounds.
Ewing 7 of 11 shots, 2 of 2 free throws, 16 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists.
Starks played for a long time, 10 of 20 shots, 4 of 10 3-pointers, got 26 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and 3 steals.
Van Gundy was the focus of the press conference. The reporters' questions made him blush a bit and it was not easy to answer.
"The Knicks played very well in this game. The offense and the two teams were judged last season. How do you think of such a change and using newcomers?" (Not what I thought.)
"The team's offense has changed from an ugly heads-up to a combination of internal and external heads-up. Who do you think is the team's first core now?"
"Bruce Bowen made his debut today, and Ben Wallace also played for a long time. What is the reason for you to reuse them?"
Fan Gandi finally heard the question he wanted to answer, no longer perfunctory. "The Knicks' tradition is a tough-blooded defense. Bruce and Ben are very the defensive end. This is why they get a performance opportunity. Their reputation is not important. The key is to dare to fight."
Ben Wallace played 26 minutes, got 2 points, 14 rebounds, 1 assists, 1 steals and 3 blocks, became famous in one battle.
Bowen's 9 points and 2 rebounds are equally impressive. He made 3 of 4 3-pointers, and for a long time it was All Star player Rice.
Rice played 31 minutes, 3 of 12 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, 3 of 4 free throws, only 9 points, 3 rebounds and 1 assist. This data does not qualify for role players.
Even worse than Rice is Divac, with 7 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists. The defensive end of the defense guard was exhausted. After playing 26 minutes, he was sent off.
The Hornets two stars performed poorly, how can they not fail miserably?
That night, the Knicks and others returned to New York. Van Gundy was in a state of excitement. On the road, he discussed with Yang Rui what tactics to play in the next game.
When Yang Rui got up the next day, Thomas Bentley bought breakfast and was watching TV.
"Early, let's eat."
"Tom, why didn't you go to work today?" Yang Rui asked.
"Today, the stock market was closed. I watched the live broadcast last night. What did you do on the sidelines and quarreled with Van Gundy?" Tom looked worried.
"Not quarrel, but disagreement, I have to lead him to the right path." Yang Rui took a burger and took a bite.
"Please, you are the assistant coach, he is the head coach. If you have different opinions, you can listen to him?" Tom lowered his voice on the TV and smiled bitterly: "I really doubt that you can work long in the Knicks? This But the NBA, you should cherish this job."
"Dry soon." Yang Rui said easily.
"What?" Tom froze.
"It is difficult for me to replace Van Gundy as the head coach of the Knicks, so when the contract expires next year, as long as there are teams willing to ask me to be the head coach, no matter how bad the team is, I will go everywhere." Yang Rui Laughed. The one-year contract is exactly what he wants.
"Don't you think you think it's too far? You are only 24 years old next year, and the team will sign a 24-year-old as the head coach?" Tom smiled bitterly. He does not want to ridicule friends, but this idea is extremely unrealistic to him.
"At this time next year, we will meet with you naturally." Yang Rui smiled slightly, confident.
It is of course impossible for an ordinary teaching assistant to become a head coach of an NBA team with one year of qualification. It would be different if he became the assistant coach of the championship team. His fate is linked to the team's record, which is why he will argue with Van Gundy for tactics.
He didn't want to stay in the assistant position for too long, he had to become famous as soon as possible. Van Gundy's set would definitely not win the championship.
Tom said seriously: "You are a public figure now, listen to me, don't be photographed to argue with Van Gundy in the future, it will not benefit you in the future. Think about it, if other team bosses think you are a bad person People you get along with, even if you are capable, will they hesitate?"
Yang Rui was silent. Since joining the Knicks, he has relied on the rebirth of the prophet and his foresight. He always feels that success is a foregone conclusion, but he ignores the details.
He knows that Van Gundy is so that he has average coaching ability, but the media doesn't know. This season, the Knicks' record has greatly improved, and most of the credit will definitely be added to Van Gundy's head. If Van Gundy didn't help him say good things, how would anyone know that he was able?
He must give Van Gundy enough respect and have a good relationship with him, which cannot be too arrogant.
"Tom, you are right. I will pay attention in the future. The road has been too smooth lately. I am a bit smug." Yang Rui smiled.
"I hope you can go on going so smoothly."
On November 2, the Knicks unveiled at home, the opponent is the Eastern Detroit Pistons.
A big victory boosted the enthusiasm of the fans. Two hours before the game, many people gathered in Madison Square Garden to talk about basketball.
New York reporters interviewed several fans. They are generally optimistic about the home team's winning streak~EbookFREE.me~ The Knicks played very beautifully. I really hope they can maintain this style and win offense. "
"This is called basketball, it was too ugly to play last season."
"I think the Knicks may win the championship this season. Jordan, Pippen and Rodman are one year older. Pippen also had serious injuries and had surgery. After returning, he may not be able to return to the peak state. The Knicks are not worse than the Bulls. "
Many people are optimistic about the Knicks. The reporter interviewed the coach. Van Gundy still only said that he would try his best to play well, not to mention the goal, not to mention the impact of the championship.
Watching Fan Gandi calmly facing the media, Yang Rui has some feelings. No matter how much he is confident and how far ahead, he should be calm and talk less.
子 said: Be sensitive to things, be cautious with words.
meaning is very simple, people should do more practical things, less nonsense, and not talking nonsense. Speaking the goal before things are done, it doesn't make much sense, it will only make people feel arrogant and make enemies for nothing.
is crazy, and he has to wait until he becomes the head coach, so that he can attract attention.
Some reporters also stared at Yang Rui. "Hello, Jerry Yang, many people think that the Knicks played better than last season. The two players you brought with you in the summer league have been reused. What do you think?"
Yang Rui thought for a while and smiled: "I am happy for Bruce and Ben."
The reporter asked: "Someone said that the Knicks' change has a lot to do with you, what do you think?"
"Change is the credit of the team. Before each game, we will gather together to discuss tactics and determine the best plan."
The reporter asked: "Many fans are optimistic about the Knicks, do you think the team can win this season?"
"It is too early to predict the record. I can only say that we will take every game seriously."
