Chapter 169 [Change your life, get serious]

Chapter 169 [Change your life, get serious]

The mentality of the two coaches is completely different.

Yang Rui is eager to win the championship, but there is no pressure. This is a great season, and he is very happy to coach so many potential new stars.

Van Gundy is under a lot of pressure, and there is no way out. If the Knicks lose to the Raptors, he and the management are waiting to bear the wrath of fans and owners.

On May 5, the day the competition started, Yang Rui invited Scarlett and Hunter to dinner together at noon, and went to the Red Lobster Restaurant in the Times Square store.

Even if he is no longer a teaching assistant in New York, Yang Rui can still call to reserve a table, and the manager is more optimistic about him.He likes this shop, the steak tastes good, the mashed potatoes are delicious, and the lobster and crab are also good.

Scarlett got fat and didn't lose weight in the Perfect Food reality show. This meeting seems to be a little more rounded. Her figure is developing too fast, and she has a tendency to become a BO tyrant. It is hard to believe that she is less than 15 years old girl.

Hunter is half a head taller than Scarlett, with a slender body, and he doesn't look much like it anymore.He was curious about Yang Rui's gossip and asked with a smile, "Jerry, I heard that you and your girlfriend met because she punched you, is that true?"

"Yeah, but it's not what the news says, it's an accident."

Scarlett hummed, "Is there something wrong with your brain? She hit you, but you fell in love with her instead?"

"That's a long story." Yang Rui couldn't explain his star-gathering addiction, it wasn't because the reborn couldn't understand it.

"Then don't talk about it." Scarlet said angrily.

Yang Rui immediately changed the subject, this child is precocious, and he still doesn't know what to think.

Scarlett was a little upset. Either she couldn't help falling in love with Yang Rui, or she felt that something that belonged to her was taken away, which was a kind of possessiveness.She has nothing to do about it, Yang Rui is no longer developing in New York.

The three chatted about entertainment, and Scarlett was depressed that she did not receive the movie. Fortunately, she still had the second season of "A Bite of America" ​​to shoot.

"Didn't receive a movie? No supporting roles?" Yang Rui realized that something was wrong.

In his impression, Scarlett still made a movie during this period, called "My Brother the Pig".This is a big bad movie. It tells the story of Scarlett's younger brother who turned into a pig because of magic. She and the nanny try to get him back. The diary of a black widow raising pigs.

Now, Scarlett's life trajectory has been changed by the butterfly effect.

"No, there is only a very mentally retarded comedy, the pay is not high, it is better to do a reality show." Scarlett sighed: "Will you shoot the second season with me? My mother also asked you if you have any good ideas. , the kind that can increase viewership.”

"Of course there are ideas. The key is to see if NBC Radio cooperates." Yang Rui smiled and said, "For example, to create a linked drama."

"what is that?"

For the siblings, this is another new term.

In this era, there are no TV dramas that engage in "linkage". Simply put, actors are on the stage, and the characters of one film and television drama are in another drama.In the future, this situation is more common, and there have been four drama linkages.

"The Flash" and "Supergirl" even had a musical linkage.The leading actors not only sang cover songs, but also original songs appeared, proving that they are worthy of being "fast boys and girls".

Yang Rui explained in general, if you add an episode of a food reality show to "Friends", it will be popular.

The plot can be a reality show going to Monica's store to do a show. Monica asks friends to come to the store to help and say good things. As a result, Rachel sees the handsome guy going crazy, Chandler and Joey say the wrong thing. Monica was so excited that she didn't do a good job, and finally got a bad review.

Scarlett liked the idea and was going to go back and talk to her mother.

In the evening, Yang Rui arrived at the arena early to boost morale in the locker room.

The players are talking about how to play, and the atmosphere is relaxed. There has been no infighting among the players this season, and everything is said on the table.This kind of atmosphere allows them to not complain to each other when they make mistakes, but also take the initiative to take responsibility.

Yang Rui clapped twice and said loudly: "It's about to start, are you ready to be the villain in Madison Square Garden? Play wonderful games here, beautiful statistics, and are more likely to be remembered by fans, so we Not having home-field advantage is fantastic."

The players were all smiles, a way of boosting morale that no one had ever heard of.

"However, I want to put a little pressure on everyone and play all the way to the second round of the playoffs. It's time to get serious. As long as everyone plays seriously, the Knicks are nothing special."

"Yes!" the players shouted together.

It's a psychological cue, telling the players that they had more energy in the past to make them more confident.

Yang Rui said loudly: "In the second round, we have already exceeded our mission. If we win the Knicks, our opponents in the Eastern Conference will definitely be weaker, and it is possible to reach the finals. If we go further, we will be champions. We will become the champions of the NBA. Zeslautern."

Little O'Neill showed his childlike appearance, raised his hand naively and asked, "Coach, who is Kaiserslautern?"

"Hey, don't you watch the news? It's a German football team." Detrev reminded.

Coach Rehhagel took over the Kaiserslautern team, which had been relegated to Division B, and led the team back to Division A in the first year. In the second year, he pushed the newly-promoted team to the Bundesliga championship, a record. The myth of world football happened just last year.

"In short, it's not a bad thing to meet the Knicks early. We barely lost any energy in the first round, and now we are at our best. The way to deal with them, we have been practicing all season, and that is to change the pick-and-roll quickly. "

Yang Rui analyzed the tactics of the Knicks, emphasized the defense, and has a complete plan.

He talked to a few key players, especially the two veterans, who had to keep up with the rhythm and guard against off-ball screens.

When the players came out, the Knicks turned off the lights to introduce the stars as usual, and the atmosphere was not as lively as last season.

Last year, "The Voice of Basketball" Marv Albert became the target of media criticism and was sentenced to 12 months in prison with a suspended sentence for harassment and violent assault.The case led to the firing of NBC, where he worked for more than 20 years.

The voice of the commentator replaced by New York was a lot worse and could not impress the fans.

There were not many boos when the Raptors players came out, and New York fans applauded Carter, with some people holding a "half-human half-god" sign on the sidelines in support.

This nickname was called in the second half of the regular season. Carter was often selected for the top five balls, and he was crazy to attract fans. With his gorgeous style of play, he proved that he was worthy of this nickname. It was not Yang Rui's bragging.

CCTV5 Zhang Lili said: "The game is about to start, and Yang Rui is still sitting lazily on the sidelines. He looks very relaxed. He looks like he is coming to the show, but he doesn't know if he brought snacks."

Sun Zhengping said with a smile: "Yang Rui is the most individual coach. I don't know what he will do during the holiday this year. If he wants to have an early holiday, the Knicks will play better."

At the media day, many people remember Yang Rui's remark that "if you can't make the playoffs, you will have an early holiday".

Raptors starting: Billups, Christie, Carter, O'Neal Jr., Willis.

Knicks starting: Ward, Houston, Bowen, Johnson, Ewing.

O'Neal Jr. jumped to win and the game began.
