Chapter 121 [Demigods, what are you afraid of? 】

The next day, Yang Rui stole Vince Carter's thunder and made sports headlines. "Famous" Butch Carter also appeared on the news and became a laughing stock.

Some people say that Yang Rui's words after the game will be the funniest speech in the NBA of the year.

The Canadian media has greatly increased their confidence in Yang Rui and spared no effort to praise him. Toronto Sports called him "the real hero of the Knicks winning the championship."

More media slammed Yang Rui, snapped his hat, said he didn't know what to do if he won a game, disrespected his predecessors, disrespected basketball, and added a photo of him eating potato chips on the sidelines.

Seeing Yang Rui's behavior is very casual and relaxed, it is said to be disrespectful to sports, which is purely funny.The original intention of each sports event is to make people play happily. When more people play, it becomes a game.

Those people who fought for ten months for their salary and made fans watch a lot less football are really blaspheming sports and disrespecting basketball. They use basketball as a money-making tool.

Fans began to discuss Yang Rui's basketball philosophy.

When he was in the Knicks, Yang Rui didn't say much, because he was an assistant coach. If he said too much, it would cause disgust.Now he dares to speak up, and it is the Raptors' lineup that gives him confidence.

Yang Rui rushed to Washington with the team non-stop, and the next day he would play back-to-back against the Wizards, and it was an away game again.

He did not arrange training, and let the players stay in the hotel to recover their physical strength. The season was shortened, and physical strength was the key to winning.No matter how high the ball quotient of a person who can't run, no matter how good the skill is, it will be in vain.

Yang Rui's plan was to punch the old master to death and let the players win by physical fitness.

In the morning, he received a call from Glenn Gruward. He had already complimented him last night. Glenn felt that it was not enough, so he talked to him again today.

"Jerry, what you said in the press conference was great. Now the team's popularity has more than doubled. All the home season tickets are sold, and the home opener tickets are also sold." Glenn was excited. said.

Yang Rui asked with a smile: "I said that the management has no record requirements, what does the boss think?"

"The boss said, you can say whatever you want, we all support it. You call the shots in the game. As long as you play well and cultivate a few stars, we will give you bonuses and write them into the next contract." Glenn laughed.

"Don't worry, I can guarantee that the Raptors will be the top three offensive teams this season."

Glenn said excitedly, "We'll see."

Yang Rui stayed in the room watching TV. At noon, Carter called and asked him to go to the "Chongqing Building" alone for dinner.

"Let's change the place. Chongqing food is very spicy. If you eat it, it will affect your state. When I came to shoot the reality show, the director ate a hairy blood there and suffered from stomach pain and diarrhea for a day and a night."

"You're familiar, where should we go?" Carter asked.

"Dragon Taste Restaurant." Yang Rui smiled and said, "The appetizer is steamed meatballs. It tastes so good. If I eat it at home, I will drink all the juices on the plate. Asparagus, chicken, beef, and prawns are also available. all good."

Carter is crazy, the news is right, Yang Rui is really suitable for hosting a food show, he is a foodie.

The two ordered three signature dishes and chatted while eating food. Carter said sadly, "Jerry, I don't know what to do now, and I need your advice. The agent suggested me to sign with Puma, and the contract was very high. But Puma is not good at making basketball shoes."

"You know that Puma is an amateur who makes sneakers, why are you hesitating? Just refuse it?" Yang Rui smiled and said, "Although you are not a super rich man, but you have no worries about food and clothing. If you have more than a few million, your life will not be too much. Big change."

Carter smiled bitterly: "Is there still some change? If I have money, I can buy a bigger house and drive a luxury car, instead of renting a house now."

Carter wasn't poor, he just wanted more luxury.

"How uncomfortable is it to buy three months later? I just rent a double apartment, and the house is too big to clean. When you are a rookie, if you like sports cars, yachts, etc., rent them, don't buy them. You only need to buy these things. The value of the car will start to depreciate when you enter it, and the replacement is very fast. The cool car this year will be replaced in two years." Yang Rui talked about it.

In his previous life, Yang Rui updated NBA news. Every year, there is news of a certain big-name professional player going bankrupt after retirement.

Scottie Pippen, Sean Kemp, Sprewell, Larry Johnson, Vin Baker... The list is longer than many people can imagine. Although Allen Iverson has not declared bankruptcy, ten It is an indisputable fact that the annual loss of 1.58 million properties.

Carter is also an extravagant and prodigal. He has done a lot of stupid things in the early stage of his career. Signing with Puma is one of them. In 2001, Carter purchased a 600-square-meter house in a villa complex in Toronto's Queen's Wharf West End.District 12, where he lives, is considered one of the best.A two-bedroom unit costs $55 in one of Toronto's best neighborhoods.

Later, Toronto fans hated Carter, in addition to his performance on the court, it was more or less related to his arrogance in life.

"Wait, can I really be the best rookie?" Carter worried about waiting until the last game was empty.

"Didn't your agent advise you to be confident? Coaches like confident players, aren't you excited to win?" Yang Rui smiled.

Carter shook his head. "He said I don't think so far, and make the money I can make first. If I don't perform as expected this season, I may not get such a high offer, and I have to release the signature shoes a season later."

"Damn it, did your agent take advantage of Puma? Is this what the agent should say?"

Yang Rui knew that Wei Blake was not a good agent, or even a good person. When the two had a lawsuit, the Blakes were all in jail.

Carter frowned and asked, "Jerry, what do you think I should do? Wei said that if I don't sign Puma, he will leave me alone."

"Reject Puma and fire this agent. I promise that within a month, there will be a group of big names rushing to be your agent, and there will be times when this idiot is crying." Yang Rui hummed.

"Uh……"

Yang Rui said sternly: "In the new season, we will focus on two sets of tactics, one is fast break, and the other is to open up positional battles to help you create a heads-up chance, no matter which one you can use to your advantage, the ball power is better than yours. There were a lot more in college, just based on the performance on the court, what statistics do you think you can get?"

"I think I can get 20 points per game." Carter smiled.

"It's at least 20 points, plus other data, the best rookie is what you have in your pocket. I said yesterday that you are half-human and half-god, what are you afraid of? Cheer me up!"

"Yes, coach!" Carter answered loudly.

He changed his name. Originally, Yang Rui's name was more convenient, but now he admires Yang Rui for being much more mature and calmer than him.Although Yang Rui is young, he is a good coach and a person who truly cares for him.

With the assurance from the coach, Carter became so confident that he fired Vy Black when he was ready to go back.

The butterfly effect happened again.
