Chapter 119 [Kneeling to the uncle]
After the players took a shower, several of the best stats went to the interview room with Yang Rui. Everyone's waist was straight and majestic.
The Celtics got the door open, and reporters went to Yang Rui in order to dig up the news.
In the Knicks for a season, Yang Rui has never seen reporters so enthusiastic.As an assistant coach, the biggest credit for winning can't fall on him, but it's different now.
As soon as Yang Rui sat down, the reporters began to ask: "Jerry Yang, this is your first game coaching the Raptors. Did you think you would win before the game?"
"Of course I didn't expect it. I still can't believe it." Yang Rui narrowed his eyes and said quietly: "You know, before the game started, the legendary coach Butch Carter, who had a career record of 5 wins and 28 losses, said in an interview, The Raptors are a lousy team, the management signing me is a complete nonsense, and being looked down upon by a celebrity like this, how much pressure do we have.”
Famous your sister!The reporters were all overwhelmed, and the people standing together were shooting wildly, big news.
It is better to offend the gentleman than the villain.Yang Rui's heart is really not very broad, and he holds revenge.No matter who provokes him, be prepared to be mocked and come back.
A reporter asked: "So what do you think of Butch Carter?"
Yang Rui replied: "I think in the future he will replace Pitino as the head coach and general manager of the Celtics. Because he is very assertive, only that kind of identity is worthy of him. I only talked to him once. , he easily refuted all my tactics and basketball concepts, I can only evaluate him in one word, strong!"
The photographer is shooting again.
One person asked: "So, is Butch's departure from the Raptors because of the inconsistency with your philosophy?"
"Don't be kidding, my manager Glenn and I almost knelt down together to keep this uncle, but he insisted that the Raptors were too bad and not worthy of him, so he resigned. Glenn cried all night, believe it or not?" Yang Rui said seriously, but finally couldn't hold back and laughed. "Haha, well, don't believe it, this really doesn't exist."
The reporters fainted again. Young people are really different. They dare to say anything and are not afraid of offending people.
This is from a different perspective. Yang Rui thinks that Butch Carter is really bold, an assistant coach with no skills, to join a team like the Celtics that can't make the playoffs, he feels like he is hugging his thighs, what? Dare to say it.
The other party has no scruples, he is afraid of a ball?
The reporter asked: "Who is the core of the Raptors' tactics?"
"Vince Carter, I will train him into a superstar, he has this potential." Yang Rui replied.
The reporter asked: "What height do you think he can reach?"
Yang Rui smiled and said, "If Jordan is the god of basketball, Vince will be at least half-human and half-god in the future."
After Carter participated in the slam dunk contest in 2000, he was called "Halfmanhalfamazing" in the United States, which is translated as "half man and half god" in Chinese, which means that Carter flew high.Yang Rui threw out the nickname in advance.
It's only a year earlier, it's no big deal. Carter will definitely not blame him for this nickname.
The reporters all gasped. It was big news again.
The Raptors' victory over the Celtics is hardly news, but Yang Rui's words are full of gimmicks. This is the highest praise a rookie can get.
Yang Rui didn't put pressure on Carter, but wanted him to have a clear goal. Carter's defensive performance in this game was a bit poor. In the future, Yang Rui will talk about Jordan about him, maybe he can correct his defensive attitude.With Carter's physical quality, as long as he is willing to defend, he is not far behind.
The reporter asked: "Can you comment on the other players who came to the press conference?"
"Certainly, from whom?"
The reporter asked, "Kevin Willis."
"He is still very young, and his competitive state is not much different from that of young people. I am optimistic that he will play until he is 45 years old and has 8 or 9 years of his career." Yang Rui laughed.
Looking at it now, many people will think it's a joke. When things happen, some people will definitely admire Yang Rui's vision. He has laid a foreshadowing for pretending to be forced years later.
"What about Tracy McGrady? He didn't play particularly well except for the rookie game last season, and he scored comprehensive numbers today."
"I will focus on cultivating him this season. He can become a comprehensive attacker and an All-Star player. His potential is also very great." Yang Rui replied.
The reporter asked: "What about Jermaine O'Neal? In the summer, many people thought that the Raptors suffered a big loss by replacing him with Camby."
"He was actually bought by me. His potential is far better than Camby, and his tactical effect is not comparable to Camby. In the Blazers, he is only a marginal person. With me, he will become an All-Star player in the future."
Dude, it's only been a while, you have three All-Stars on your team, are you crazy?
Many reporters felt this way. The atmosphere at the scene became more lively, and high-profile people were more topical.
The reporter asked: "Today, the camera caught you eating snacks on the sidelines. No coach has ever done this before. What do you think?"
"I was so nervous when I first became a head coach. I usually just eat to relax and decompress myself."
lie!I've never seen a more relaxed coach than you!The female reporter who asked the question was shocked again.
The reporter asked: "What is the goal of the Raptors this season?"
"I personally hope to make the playoffs, but it's very difficult, management didn't set goals, so we're just playing happily, we'll see. If the Raptors end up at the bottom, it's because there are too many rookies, inexperience, and the difference between people. It's normal. If you accidentally make the playoffs, then everyone will work harder and have a late holiday."
I wipe it, that's fine too.The reporters were shocked. They had never seen a coach answering the target question so playfully.
A reporter asked: "Do you take the game less seriously with your basketball... concept?"
Yang Rui said lightly: "I think attitude is the most important thing in this world. No matter what you do, only when a person is convinced of the value or significance of doing it can he experience happiness and develop a positive attitude. "
He suddenly said something meaningful, and the reporters were quiet.
Yang Rui smiled slightly, "On the contrary, if a person does not experience happiness in work or activities, he will have a negative attitude. For me, being a coach is very happy, and it can make every cell in the body rush to act. So, for the Raptors I coach, the most important thing is that everyone is happy, and we have to work hard to make the fans happy too."
The reporters were stunned.
People like Sloan, Riley, Chuck Daly, Larry Brown, they think basketball training or games are boring, hard, and painful. Where's the joy at all? !Only a soldier-like iron-blooded can win.
Unless their team wins the championship, there is no happiness, only oppression. Because of this, many players will strike for high salaries. Most people think it is not easy to play.
Yang Rui's remarks run counter to the old-school coach's iron-blooded philosophy.
