The NBA stipulates that a coaching meeting cannot be held. Yang Rui invited the remaining two assistant coaches of the Raptors to dinner in his own name. The physical trainer and the shooting coach did not make substitutions or participate in tactics. He did not call.

　　During the lockout, everyone was in danger, the players could not sign the contract, and the assistant coach was not easy to find. If Thibodeau did not voluntarily follow Yang Rui to Toronto, he must be in trouble for the new season.

As soon as he met, Yang Rui clearly felt the maliciousness from the original coaching staff. He was 196cm tall. Butch Carter, a 40-year-old black assistant, looked very uncomfortable with him.

　　 Last season, the Raptors cut Darnell Walker in the middle of the season. Butch replaced the coach in 33 games, a record better than the first half.

　　After the end of the season, Butch was full of joy waiting for the team to talk to him about renewal, hoping to continue to be the Raptors coach. The bad news came one after another. The Raptors signed Yang Rui and Thibodeau. He was not even the first assistant. His salary didn't drop, but he couldn't keep up the energy at all.

　　During dinner, Yang Rui took the initiative, but Bu Qi loved to ignore it, but when talking about basketball, Bu Qi began to speak, repeatedly refuting Yang Rui's tactical intentions.

Yang Rui said offensively, he said defense, Yang Rui said to reuse Billups, he suggested to use Alvin Williams, it seems to use the bar to prove his value, or just vent to not be reused Resentment.

　　Yang Rui was not angry at all, always smiling.

　　 The other teaching assistant is a small white man, about fifty years old, named Jack Smiley.

　　The spelling of the surname is smiley, which can be translated as "happy, smiling". Others, as their names suggest, always have a faint smile on their faces.

　　 He gave Yang Rui a face, not because he was a senior who relied on the old to sell the old, saying that he was mainly responsible for player training.

　　The next day, Yang Ruiyo met Glenn-Groward at lunch and asked, "How long will Butch Carter's contract expire?"

　　 "One year is the team's option." Glenn grinned bitterly: "Why, are you talking unpleasantly?"

Yang Rui nodded: "Not only, I can't communicate with him at all. This person shows me everywhere. Since it is a team option, then cut him off. Two assistants and trainers in the new season are enough. I don't need an assistant who is lagging behind."

　　 Glenn was shocked and persuaded: "Shall I talk to him? Now the experienced teaching assistant is not easy to find. I don't know when this lockout will be canceled. The training camp and the preseason will be cancelled. The players have no time to run in."

"Because he doesn't have time to run in, he has to go. Anyway, he really has experience, so he can go to other teams to find a job, isn't he? He even provoked the new coach he cooperated with without studying the character, how can he arrange for players Tactics? It's not necessary to defend him with Tom. You can't keep him from lifting bars every day, right?" Yang Rui said politely.

　　 "..." Glenn stopper.

Yang Rui smiled: "I understand that you will consider it from the human aspect, but I must make this request, because the new season must lead the team to attack, to lead the team to the playoffs, there must be no internal obstacles. Cut him, at most Butch Carter himself was uncomfortable. If he didn't leave in the new season, it would be me, the whole team. I don't want to see me having a conflict with him for a season?"

　　 "Okay, let me talk to him about canceling the contract." Glenn made the decision immediately.

　　He knew that Yang Rui and Butch Carter could not coexist. But it’s too overbearing to drive away the teaching assistant once you meet. A young man showed such strength and made him uncomfortable.

　　 He can fully understand that Yang Rui is very gentle on the surface, but there is a wildness hidden in his bones. All the past shows that provoking him has to pay a price. Butch caused his temperament to find the wrong object.

"Thank you, I will stick to the previous bet and have a way to win the Raptors. Young people lack experience, and the advantages are equally obvious, that is physical fitness and explosiveness." Yang Rui smiled: "I recommend Brad Miller, Will the team sign it?"

　　 "Of course, I will give him a two-year salary, the second year team options." Glenn replied.

　　 "Okay, meat shield players must have."

　　 Because the players strike, the US national team who wants to participate in the World Championships has to select talents from overseas. Miller was lucky to be selected and won a bronze medal with the team. Miller's playing time is not much, averaging only 5.2 points and 3.3 rebounds, but his solid defensive skills and basketball IQ have attracted the attention of many scouts.

　　 with his strength as a substitute in the team must be qualified, height and physique are good.

　　Yang Rui is optimistic about each newcomer, how to arrange tactics and let them train in which direction, all have detailed plans. In this case, he is even less likely to have the assistant gesticulate.

　　 For example, Miller is suitable for attacking and picking up the ball after pick-and-roll. If Butch Carter finds fault, let Miller go to the rim to show the foot of the basket, play a low position attack, and show toughness. Who is free to talk to him?

　　 Glenn contacted Butch Carter this afternoon and announced that the team had abandoned his last year's contract. Team options, layoffs in one sentence, do not need to pay liquidated damages.

　　 Butch was dumbfounded on the spot. Everything happened so fast that he had no thought to prepare and began to soften. "Glen, can I talk to Jerry Yang again?"

　　 "Do you know how he evaluates you? He said that even if the new coach you are working with does not study any personality, you will directly provoke. How can you arrange suitable tactics for the players?" Glenn said firmly. "You are no longer suitable for continuing to work in the Raptors coaching staff."

　　 Butch was speechless, he only saw Yang Rui's age~lightnovelpub.net~ felt that this kind of coach who would shoot reality shows was not dignified and easy to deal with. He has forgotten that it seems to be unreliable, that is also the head coach, his boss.

　　 Yesterday, he gave Yang Rui a dismounted horse. Today, Yang Rui directly gave him a sword.

　　 Butch was laid off, and he could only grumble with his former colleagues and call Smillie to provoke Yang Di as a dictator. He will also be attacked in the new season.

　　Smiley embarrassedly listened to the sentence without saying anything.

　　He knew that Butch's words were not credible at all. He has a good relationship with his former coach Darnell Walker. After Carter left, Carter often said how Darnell was useless.

　　 Temporarily succeeded the head coach. Butch was also running the train full of mouths, saying that Camby was to be the core of the team. As a result, Camby was still a blue collar in the second half. He looked at the performance of the McGrady star game and said that he would give McGrady more performance opportunities, and McGrady's data did not improve in the second half.

　　 At the same time, Smilie's impression of Yang Rui also deteriorated. He felt that this young man was too much. Who would swear at the press conference as soon as he signed the contract?

　　 Replaced with Smiley, he will choose to be patient and try to impress Butch with sincerity. He felt that Yang Rui would not be a man with a low EQ, and sooner or later he would have to take the lead.

　　 In fact, this is the reason why Smilie was only a teaching assistant until he was 50 years old. He has pretended to be a grandson for most of his life, and he has become accustomed to it. He does not dare to fight for his interests. He always looks like a good old man. This kind of person looks like Mount Tai on the surface, but in reality it is ineffective and can't do much.

Some people say that those who are too tough are easy to break, and those who are kind and soft are undefeated; others say that to succeed, you need friends, to achieve great success, you need enemies; both arguments make sense, and the key depends on where you are. .

　　 is mediocre without being jealous, and indecision is waste wood.
