Chapter 46: 【Leadership】

　　 Glenn Gruward has no temporary layoff crisis as a team manager. If someone is responsible for the loss, it is usually the team's coach who is the scapegoat.
　　 The bottom of the Raptors record, to prepare for the top pick, after the end of this season, the departure of Darnell Walker is a foregone conclusion, whether the other members of the coaching staff will stay or not.
　　Glen is also under great pressure. The old labor-management agreement is about to expire, and both parties will start a new round of negotiations next year.
　　The bosses hope to adjust the league's salary cap system and the player's salary cap. However, the player union strongly opposes the boss's plan and hopes to increase the salary of those players with the lowest salary.
　　The salary of the league star does not even have a top. If you increase the base salary, how much does it cost to play a year? Unless the bosses are all philanthropists, it is impossible to agree.
　　 So, now the managers and bosses of each team have predicted the upcoming shutdown. The root cause is those players who are overpaid. Like Jordan, a person is higher than the total salary of most teams. How to play this?
　　 Raptors don't care about the record, after all, it is a new team, groping forward. Glenn’s main task is to help the team make money, at least not to lose money.
　　 Before, the management racked their brains to find a star to ensure the attendance at home, the sense of belonging of the fans, etc. No one wants to come.
　　Now, Glenn has a new idea. If he signs Jerry Yang as his head coach, will he increase his attendance? Hasn't this game improved?
　　If this coach is good at arranging offense, let the team score a lot of points, even if they play beautifully, even if they don’t win, they can attract fans and make money.
　　 In the second half, Ewing, Oakley, Bowen, Houston, Starks played, and the points continued to widen.
　　 Raptors defending shots, Ewing started heads-up scoring, bypassing Camby, he has an advantage in anyone, Oakley is responsible for fighting rebounds.
　　 Back to the defensive end, Ewing also did not go out to interfere with the shot, waiting for someone near the penalty area to rush to block and protect the rebound.
　　Ewing scored another 12 points in the single quarter, and scored 32 points, 13 rebounds, 12 assists and 3 blocks of luxury data in the third quarter. The difference between the two sides was only 16 points, and he had to play.
　　In the last quarter, Ewing took a four-minute break before playing. The Knicks strengthened the defense of the outside shot, disrupting the Raptors' offensive rhythm and keeping the lead.
　　Ewing was replaced two minutes early, the data was fixed at 35 points, 14 rebounds, 16 assists and 3 blocks.
　　Restricting veterans to play is not a decline in technology, but the loss of physical strength, especially because the efficiency of the second half has dropped significantly. Fortunately, the tactics arranged by Yang Rui can help him to brush the data, and his teammates took the ball and added 4 assists to him.
　　The Knicks scored an 8-game winning streak 117 to 99.
The team lost, the Raptors manager Glenn was not surprised, nor depressed. After leaving the arena, he told Jimmy: "Then let the scouts pay attention to the Knicks and investigate Jerry Yang. I want his Details."
　　 Jimmy understands that this youngest assistant in history has caught the eyes of the manager. If he is really allowed to take over the position of the Raptors coach next year, he will create a more amazing record. Looking for Yang Rui to coach is an excellent gimmick. The media, fans will definitely focus on the Raptors, regardless of record.
　　In the press conference, Ewing became the target of media chase, and his popularity reached the peak of his career.
As a star very familiar to fans all over the world, Asian fans know Ewing because the comic "Slam Dunk" has infringed on his portrait rights, making a Japanese high school student look exactly like him and used his nickname to win even. Champions and the lack of personal honor are the same.
　　When Europeans and Americans see the movie "King Kong", they can't help but think of him. There are rumors that Hollywood is preparing to make a movie called "Decisive Battle of the Apes", and many fans speculate about him.
　　 He is a sad reminder, with a career high of 51 points, against the Celtics, and the game lost; the highest 11 assists against the Hornets, the game also lost.
　　Now he has won his second triple-double in his career and won the ball, even if the opponent is the underdog Raptors, it is still very eye-catching.
　　 When the record is not good, everyone is black Ewing, a look of a King Kong, but the game is relying on the mid-range shot, obsessed with shooting softball.
　　Eight-game winning streak, Ewing became the real core, the media began to find a reason for his past sluggish games, all caused by injuries.
Ewing's left side wiped a small hook, and the right side of the rabbit jumped back and jumped to make a successful transformation. His toughness is reflected in the defensive end. The single defense defense is top-level, and the restricted area covers a large enough area to support the entire The defensive system of the team.
　　 Actually, Ewing's personal ability is not as good as before. In 1996, he could buckle up Mourning and Rodman's buckle. Now it is a floor stream.
　　 Van Gundy is also very beautiful, the reporters want him to say a few more words.
　　 "After eight games, the Knicks averaged 106.3 points per game, ranking first in the league. Last season, the Knicks were in the same lineup, averaging only 95.4 points per game. How did you do it?"
　　 Johnson, Houston, and Starks played stably, scoring 15 points, 22 points, and 19 points respectively. There are four stable scoring points on the team. As soon as the role players play, they score 100 points.
Van Gundy said: "First of all, the team has an excellent assistant coach~EbookFREE.me~ Secondly, we had many newcomers last season and need time to break in. This season they have fully integrated into the team and cooperated more closely. , I am proud of them."
　　 The reporter asked: "Can you briefly comment on Jerry Yang?"
　　 "Genius." Van Gundy said a word, it was really very simple.
　　Feel the word "genius" more deeply is the Knicks management staff, they are most aware of how Ewing's data come from. The management has just given instructions, and the results have been seen in this field. What is the efficiency?
　　Ernie-Grunfeld specially convened a meeting with the staff. "At present, Patrick's statistics are very likely to reach the MVP level. Let's discuss, how to promote the team next?"
　　 Someone is strange. "Isn't it the propaganda Ewing?"
"Who doesn't know what Ewing used to be? This season, his average assists per game may reach a career high, and the offensive efficiency has also improved. My idea is to also promote Jerry Yang." Ernie smiled: "He is Chinese Americans, this is a good gimmick."
　　Deputy manager Glen Walsh asked: "If you promote Jerry and help him become famous, will it be more difficult for the team to continue dating him next season?"
"Don't we mention his credit, can there be no team to see the clue? As long as the managers of other teams are not stupid, you will find that the Knicks' offense has changed too much this season. Don't forget that the regular season has just begun. Ernie sighed.
　　 Everyone was silent, and Yang Rui could not hide it.
　　 The team advertised him, at least to get a good relationship, if he is willing to stay in the Knicks in the summer, he will stay. If all credit is given to Van Gundy, Yang Ruicai will definitely go.
　　Erney is very experienced, he sees through things.
