The Pope of Basketball Community

Chapter 22 [New apartment, new goal]

In the evening, Achill received a call from his father, Andy Strachan, telling him that he had been fired from the basketball team and would receive a formal notice tomorrow.

Achill was dumbfounded. "Dad, what are you talking about? Didn't I sign the contract?"

"Because you racially discriminated against a Chinese, the contract is void, and there is no liquidated damages, you idiot!"

"You mean Jerry? You're kidding, aren't you?" Archer asked aloud.

"You can check it online yourself, and you will use the Internet more often in the future, so as not to look down on people who are much stronger than you, and you don't even know." Andy said loudly, and hung up the phone.

He felt that his son was hopeless, and at the age of 31, he spent a lot of effort to obtain the qualification certificate. What is there to be proud of?

USC University did not give their father and son any face, just joking, discredited the school and wanted liquidated damages?

Achill has an arrogant personality and always speaks in a strange way, even to his friends, he often makes a few sarcastic remarks for fun. Therefore, the people who attended the party confirmed Yang Rui's identity last night, but no one persuaded him to apologize, and waited until now it was irreparable.

It's none of your business, hang on high. Most people will hide in the dark and watch the excitement, unless something happens to someone close to them, they will get involved.

Those who have also ridiculed Yang Rui have no time to hide now, how can they stand on the same front as Achill?

Achill was dumbfounded when he checked the news on the Internet. It turned out that the person he despised was really the assistant coach of the Knicks, and he was also the first assistant coach. Compared with him, a college assistant coach, the gap was too big. And he also scolded the Knicks management, it's just playing tricks.

The gap between the two is not only in annual salary, but also in status and future.

Working in the Knicks, it is easy to accumulate contacts and get to know some big names. As a coach in school, the most I hope is that I can produce an NBA star under my staff.

If the NBA assistant coach does a good job, he is likely to become a head coach in the future. Yang Rui is only 23 years old, as long as he is not particularly bad, the chance of becoming a head coach is too high. For this kind of person, it's too late for people in the coaching circle to flatter him. How can there be sarcasm and initiative to turn against him?

Things are much more troublesome than Archer imagined. Yang Rui is not an ordinary coach. He is a Chinese-American and the only Chinese in the world who is a coach in the NBA.

The well-documented incidents of racial discrimination have had a very bad impact in the United States. Many Chinese protested, and even the British were ashamed.

Aqier saw the video on the Internet and saw his own ugly appearance. He hated Yang Rui, so he immediately picked up the phone and wanted to call Yang Rui. He pressed a few numbers and then put it down.

What can you say on the phone now? Isn't this self-defeating?

After clamoring, he couldn't get him back to work. Threatening Yang Rui will make things even worse. The rhetoric on the Internet is one-sided. Yang Rui can sue him at any time and ask for mental damages. Can he win the lawsuit?

He was afraid and couldn't muster up the courage to contact Yang Rui.

He realized that he didn't know this person well, let alone that he was so cunning, bringing a camera into the party. It would be even worse if he came forward without knowing the fun.

Unbeknownst to Achill, the five-star club was about to issue an application to the Coaches Association to disqualify him as a basketball coach, and the worst thing had happened.

The next day, Thomas Bentley saw the morning news, looking fierce and showing no signs of reconciliation. "Jerry, are you going to sue that guy? If you have video testimony, you will definitely win. I can find a lawyer for you."

"It's too troublesome. I don't hate him enough to sue him. Let him fend for himself." Yang Rui is not interested in killing them all. One more thing is worse than one less thing.

Losing his job, not even being able to coach again, Achill has paid the price.

Seeing that Thomas still looked unhappy, Yang Rui changed the topic: "How about finding a new apartment first? It's too crowded here."

"Okay, when?"

"I went to see it today, and my colleague recommended a suitable apartment.

"Yang Rui has connections, and the management members all live in New York, recommending an apartment is a trivial matter.

After making a call from Scott Maguire, the two successfully met the landlord and saw a two-bedroom apartment not far from the arena.

Both of them were very satisfied, signed the contract immediately, and paid one year's rent.

After discussing, the two added a lot of new furniture, bought a TV to put in the living room, placed two black sofa chairs facing the TV, and had two big beds, a desk, and a cabinet.

Thomas likes the TV series "Friends", and the room is completely designed according to the apartment of Chandler and Joey in the second season. Yang Rui agrees with the proposal of the second child, and he also likes this American TV series.

Living in a new apartment, Thomas also found a job on Wall Street and got busy.

Because of the interview, everyone in the United States knows about Yang Rui. It's just that the NBA has entered the offseason. Before he has made achievements, the big media are not interested in interviewing him, and they don't want to over-ferment the discrimination.

So Yang Rui was very leisurely and began to enjoy the vacation, waiting for the team training camp to start in September. Coaches are more comfortable than players. They don't have to train hard during the holidays, and they don't have to worry about their status declining.

The Knicks management is still working, and they called all five starters of the Knicks in the summer league, and signed preseason training camp contracts with Bowen, Moore, Ben Wallace, and Jackson. They will represent the Knicks in October. preseason.

Ernie admired Atkins' offensive talent, and directly offered a two-year contract, with the first year fully guaranteed and the second year as a team option.

Chris Childs and Charlie Ward are not very capable of breaking through, and they can play when defending. If someone needs to strengthen the offense in the second quarter, Atkins, a short guard, can play a role.

The Knicks currently have ten players under contract, and it is not impossible to keep all five in the summer league. For this reason, they all find places for special training and strive to become stronger.

The Wizards wanted to give up Ben Wallace. He was too eye-catching in the summer league. Manager Jena Conley contacted him again and planned to sign directly.

"Ben, you performed very well in the summer league. We are willing to provide a basic salary. If you practice shooting more in the summer and improve your offensive ability, you will become a member of the rotation."

A basic salary is what Daben is after. If he has never met Yang Rui, he will definitely agree to the Wizards directly. After hearing the call this time, he was silent.

Da Ben remembered what Yang Rui had said to him.

"Strength and defense are your weapons, and that's what you need to strengthen first, without thinking about offense."

"Defense, as long as you can defend well, you can't score a point. If I am the coach, I will let you start."

"Ben, I think your height is an advantage. If you grow to 215cm, you can't attack, and you lack mobility, that kind of player is really useless."

"The goal is too low, I am optimistic that you will become an All-Star."

If I sign the Wizards, I may only be a marginal player, but if I join the Knicks, will I be a stable rotation player? Jerry would definitely offer to reuse me.

During the summer league, Big Ben was a bit addicted to blocking shots and grabbing rebounds. Even in the NBA, he has the confidence to do better.

After thinking about it, he took a deep breath and said slowly, "I'm sorry, I refuse."

Jena couldn't believe it and asked: "Why? Did someone offer you a better contract?"

"No, but my goal is to join the Knicks."

Jena knew that there was no way to continue the conversation, and the other party had lost interest in the Wizards. He regretted a little, Xia Tian should be more decisive.
