Chapter 25: 【Super Knicks】

　　Media Day, also known as Media Meeting Day, is a time when players and coaches have to force the media to take pictures and interviews.
　　The team members should be interviewed to let the media film the team's training and answer the questions raised. Basically, it is a hard and fast rule, and it is a measure taken by the league to establish a good relationship with the media.
　　 Yang Rui greeted the players after arriving at the arena.
　　The Summer League five people were very close to him. Bowen, Jackson, and Atkins all reported the training results to him, treating him as a thigh, intending to hug tightly.
　　 Veteran Ewing, Oakley, Johnson and other veterans nodded even if they were finished. They are all high-paid players. Although they are players, they do not pay much attention to assistants in their bones.
　　 The NBA coach is taking a group of rich men to play, and trying to convince them is not an easy task. Ewing’s salary this season is 200 times that of Yang Rui.
　　 Usually, the focus of the media day is big-name stars, the head coach, this time, multiple media reporters interviewed Yang Rui together. The previous racial discrimination incident made the whole country know his name.
　　 "Jerry Yang, are you confident to be the first assistant coach of the team?" the reporter asked.
　　 "Yes." Yang Rui despised this reporter from the heart, this is nonsense, who would say no?
　　 "A lot of people think that the Knicks Summer League is good because of player strength, not tactics. What do you think?" the reporter asked.
　　 "Did anyone say this before the Summer League?" Yang Ruixin wanted not to be him, and none of these five people could get together. "Of course, what others think is their business. All I have to do is help the team win. The record will tell you everything."
　　 The reporter asked: "What do you think the Knicks will achieve in the new season?"
　　 "I don't know, the opponents are very strong, we will work together to defeat those powerful opponents."
　　 The reporter asked: "On the Internet, the coach who graduated with you at the same time said that you are introverted and out of gregarious, which leads to a bad relationship between you. Do you have anything to say?"
　　After the discrimination incident, in order to reduce the impact, several coaching partners interviewed anonymously, saying that Yang Rui is not in a group.
Yang Rui smiled: "When I couldn't find a job, many people laughed at me, found a good job, and began to say that I am not a group. I want to say, students, don't be jealous, even if I am a group, treat you as your own son. The same kind of love, what can you do? You can't be an NBA coach because you are incapable, not because you don't have a good father."
　　 The reporters were all shocked, big news, this is clearly abusive without swearing.
　　 is not necessarily a group, but it is said that Yang Ruinei no one believes, which introverts dare to say so?
　　Yang Rui dared to take the camera to expose, and naturally did not mind making up the knife. Is it useful to have a good relationship with that group of people? When he fell, he fell into the rocks one by one, did he develop well, these mixed would be fully understood and turned into good balls?
　　 He doesn't deliberately make enemies, he who is already an enemy doesn't need to be polite, and he doesn't talk about truth, kindness and beauty with others.
　　How do you think about players? Yang Rui said all good things, including the five people who worked in the Summer League. He also boasted. As a teaching assistant, you can't avoid interacting with players, you can't talk nonsense.
　　The Knicks preseason 17-man roster was released.
　　 Centers: Patrick Ewing, Ben Wallace, Chris Dudley, Buck Williams.
　　 Power forwards: Charles Oakley, Mickey Moore, Herb Williams.
　　 Small forwards: Larry Johnson, Bruce Bowen, Anthony Bowie, Chris Mills.
　　 shooting guards: Alan Houston, Stephen Jackson, John Starks.
　　 point guards: Chris Childs, Charlie Ward, Chucky Atkins.
　　The Knicks only have the championship this season. Mills can only join the bench when he joins. It is an insurance to prevent Johnson’s injury. Yang Rui is full of confidence to prevent the Bulls from defending this season. The team's lineup has a deep victory over the Bulls and is called the Super Knicks.
　　Look at the photos of the core players to know how strong they are. Five photos of Ewing, Oakley, Johnson, Houston, and Starks are all very powerful.
　　 On the 26th, the team opened training sessions, the media and fans can visit the venue, the stadium is full.
　　In addition to watching the training game, the audience will also receive a short-sleeved T-shirt printed with the Knicks logo as a commemoration. Hunter-Johnson brought Jill's female friend Jill with a ticket from Yang Rui.
　　Before the training began, Oakley and Ben Wallace chatted on the sidelines. Van Gundy asked curiously, "Why, do you two know each other?"
　　 "He attended my training camp when he was in high school, and I recommended this kid to college." Oakley smiled and talked about the interesting things they knew.
　　Okley saw a vicious-looking guy in the training camp at the time. He didn't look like a good thing at all, and his body was not like a high school student. So he asked this person to practice alone and wanted to teach him a lesson.
　　Oakley didn't expect that this kid would dare to bump into himself, Oakley banged his lips, he broke Oakley's nose, this boy was Ben Wallace in high school.
　　 Later, Oakley let the economically struggling Ben Wallace work in his own car dealership, and taught him to play. He also recommended and supported him to go to school and play at his alma mater, Virginia United University.
　　 Therefore, in the growth process of Omoto, Oakley is everywhere, tough, steely muscles.
　　 listened to the introduction, the more Van Gundy looked at the big book, the more pleasing to the eye, he liked the people who could defend. "You play well in the preseason, as long as you can have 80% of his defensive skills, the team must sign a long contract with you."
　　 Van Gundy still underestimated him, and now with the strength of Oakley, UU reading www.uukanshu.com must win a big book, his ability to run and jump is amazing, what he lacks is only experience. Looking only at protecting rebounds, he will not be worse than Oakley.
　　The players first followed the physicist to run the circle, then shot to warm up, Fan Gandi and Yang Rui chatted on the sidelines.
　　 "Mix the players for a while, you and Tom lead a team, we come to a match, let me see your skills." Fan Gandi suggested.
　　 Yang Rui smiled slightly. "No opinion against me, but the players are mixed, so I can't see my ability."
　　 "Oh? Then what do you say?"
　　 "I will take the five people from the Summer League and pick two more substitutes. As long as Alan Houston has a starter, how about eight people on your side?"
　　Fan Gandy frowned. "Why, do you think you have a chance to win me?"
　　 Yang Rui explained with a smile: "No, because the core of my tactics is that the offense is launched from outside to inside, so I want you to see the effect of such a fight."
　　 This is a nice statement. In fact, Yang Rui wanted to come over Houston because Van Gundy wouldn't use it at all.
　　Houston was the second-leader of the Pistons in the 1995-96 season, averaging 15.2 shots per game with 19.7 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3 assists, and 5.5 shots with 2.3 three-pointers. His three-point percentage was as high as 42.7%.
　　 To the Knicks, Houston averaged 12.7 shots per game, the data dropped to 14.8 points, 3 rebounds and 2.2 assists, and the three-point percentage dropped to 38.5%.
　　 The team's most accurate shot, only 12.7 times out of mobile phone meetings, no special tactics. Under Van Gundy, Houston, which was originally a "three-pointer", was transformed into a "CIC king", which was a waste of resources.
　　 Yang Rui wants to show Van Gundy what it is like to be a core outsider!
