Chapter 404 [People have no credit and can't stand on the ground]

Los Angeles, Thomas Bentley ate breakfast, watched the morning news, and sighed: "Jerry, the boss of the Wizards is a scumbag. Do you want to resign? Facebook is likely to go public next year, and your value will rise. After a few times, you can buy a team yourself to play, be the boss and coach, and no one can control you. Don’t you feel depressed working for such a person?”

"When I am a boss, I have to give up my mind and manage, but I just want to be a coach right now." Yang Rui paused and smiled: "I really want to resign, without Jordan, the Wizards have no gimmicks, and I don't like Washington either. the city."

"Can you go then?" Thomas asked.

"I signed a contract and quit my job. If there is no suitable reason, I have to pay liquidated damages. The Wizards can't easily let me go." Yang Rui shook his head.

Stana smiled bitterly: "If only you could coach the Los Angeles team."

Having chosen Hollywood, Stana is destined to be based in Los Angeles, where many of the film's mirrors and filming are taken.Even if she doesn't make a new film, she won't stay in Washington all the time. She stays in Los Angeles to take drama classes and hone her acting skills.

Thomas said: "Jerry, don't you like Los Angeles very much? Instead of always running here on vacation and staying in hotels, you might as well just buy a villa here. It's also close to Silicon Valley."

Yang Rui thought for a while, then smiled: "You talked me into it. If you're not happy, there's really no need to stay in Washington for five years. But I won't pay the liquidated damages."

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. As soon as the Jordan incident happened, Yang Rui didn't want to stay in the Wizards.

He used the Wizards as a springboard, just wanted to take Jordan for a year, increase exposure, compete for the Best Coach Award, and make himself more famous, but the Wizards were determined to sign a long-term contract with him.

Of course, there are many benefits for Yang Rui to stay. The Wizards have salary space. If they introduce a star in the summer, the lineup will be stronger than last season.

In the free market, Yang Rui can also rely on his vision to find players who are suitable for the system and strengthen the lineup.Go Jordan is easy to find a replacement, next season, the Wizards definitely have the strength of defending.

However, no matter how many benefits, it is not as important as being happy.

Neither Wizards owner Abel Pollin nor the management team deliberately targeted Yang Rui. His annual salary will not be less than one point, but Yang Rui still intends to give the Wizards management a test.

This year, he will not ask about the draft, the free market is open, and he will not say which player to trade.If Pauline or Unseld took the initiative to call and ask him, if he was willing to act according to his arrangement, he would pass the test even if he had sincerity.

Yang Rui deliberately sold a flaw to the Wizards, which can be used as an excuse. Some of his powers have long been clearly written into the contract, and he has the final say in drafting and trading.If the Wizards management chooses people without contacting him in the draft, or signs players in the free market without asking him for his opinion, even if they only sign a minimum salary player, Yang Rui will leave the Wizards in the summer.

Moreover, he will directly overturn the table, and he is reasonable and not afraid of big things, because the Wizards have breached the contract. (Gentleman, your integrity is gone...)
Just not taking the initiative to contact the management, Yang Rui felt that it was not enough, Yang Rui did not like to do things that he was not sure about.After thinking about it, he called Stana and flew to Chicago together, and while visiting Stana's family, he "dropped in" to visit Jordan.

Jordan returned to Chicago after falling out with the Wizards, where he owns real estate and plans to live here after retiring.

When Yang Rui called Jordan, Jordan was still angry. His interview can reduce the popularity of the Wizards and damage the image of Abel Pollin, but he is a loser anyway because he can't buy the ball. team shares.

Yang Rui asked Jordan to have dinner at a famous western restaurant in Chicago, ready for a high-profile meeting.

Jordan smiled and asked: "Aren't you afraid of conflict with the Wizards management when you see me now? Abel Pollin is not as generous as he usually does. If he thinks you are on my side, he may trouble you."

"I'm afraid of shit? If we didn't cooperate well last season, the Wizards would have won the championship? I'm looking for your face to join the Wizards, everyone on earth knows. I'm in Chicago now, if I don't see you On the face of it, what will the media say? They may think that I support the Wizards management, and that will affect my image of Brilliant Justice."

"..." Jordan was stunned, his thoughts were really different from ordinary people. "Okay, eat first, and play golf with me tomorrow."

Jordan was also a little moved, and Yang Rui showed that he was on his side.Yang Rui works for the Wizards as head coach and publicly supports Jordan, how could the owner, Abel Pollin, not be angry?This is to slap the boss in the face.

Jordan would never have guessed that Yang Rui was now afraid that the fire would not burn him, and that Pauline would save face.

Jordan took his wife, Yang Rui took Stana, and met at the hotel.

Every day, reporters watched Jordan's every move. Before the meal was over, a group of reporters were waiting outside the restaurant. They felt that there was big news to dig.

The two did not hide from reporters after eating, and were generously interviewed at the door.

Jordan still thought about Yang Rui and spoke first: "I'm on vacation now, I'm not a player, and he's not a coach. Friends hang out together to play, isn't it strange?"

The reporter asked Yang Rui, "What do you think of the previous dispute between Michael and the Wizards' management?"

Yang Ruiyu was not astonished and died endlessly. "If I verbally agreed to Michael to the Wizards at All-Star Weekend in 2002, and then signed him in the summer and said, 'Sorry, I want to be on the best team in the country. I'm looking for the best. I'm looking for a team with stars, money, and a big city. Of course, you're a star but not the greatest. I'm looking for someone who can change the fate of the team. It's not a personal grudge, I'm very Like and respect you, but it's business.' If I said that, do you think Michael would want to shoot me?"

The reporters were all stunned. Yang Rui once again turned into a joker, and smiled and changed Paulin's explanation in the interview. It was too ironic.

The reporters took pictures together, and some people were so excited that they wanted to break the camera.Jordan took Yang Rui's shoulders and smiled, without saying anything.

Yang Rui cleared his throat and said solemnly: "Of course, I have always been a good negotiator, and everyone has always given me very positive feedback, because I am a good and fair person, and this situation has never happened to me. happened before."

He repeats exactly what Pauline's wife said in an interview, even more ironically.It is clear at a glance who is the good guy and who is the bad guy.He slapped the face with the other party's original words, which was so exciting!
Yang Rui is not a virgin, and will not make promises to people easily. Once he promises, he will do it.

Don't say that Yang Rui doesn't want to stay in the Wizards now, even if Abel Pollin treats him well, he won't remain neutral in this matter, because this old man is disgusting with hypocrisy, Yang Rui has his own arrogance and disdains to be with him. Kind of people.

When you get along with Jordan, at least you don't have to worry about being stabbed in the back. Not with Pauline, you trust him, and the way he returns is to play you like a monkey.Not to mention the arrogant Jordan, even an ordinary person, can he swallow this breath?
In Yang Rui's previous life, Jordan was the boss of the Bobcats. During the 2011 labor negotiation, he generously stood on the side of the employer and became a tough representative.He can say without shame: "I am not an enemy of the players, it would be hypocritical to say that I support them."

Jordan is an old hooligan, but also a real man, much better than those who do it on the face and do it behind the back.

As soon as the words are spoken, the horse is hard to follow.

People can't stand without credit!
