Yang Rui returned to Manhattan and changed his goal to the Knicks.

　　Knicks is a strong playoff team, the reason for the choice, because he knows that Jeff Van Gundy's coaching position is very stable, until the 2001-02 season, and this is a stubborn guy, not necessarily willing to listen to the advice of the assistant.

　　The Knicks also have obvious advantages, that is, the depth of the lineup. From 1995 to 1999, the Knicks have always been able to compete for the championship. There are multiple defensive defenders in the inside and two strong scoring points in the periphery. In addition to the point guard's strength, it has everything.

　　Yang Rui is confident to make the Knicks better. As long as Van Gundyken listens to some suggestions, do not always pursue defensive wins.

　　On June 20th, Yang Rui came to the "Face of New York"-Madison Square Garden.

　　 He did not immediately send his resume to the Knicks management, but worked in a nearby "return snack bar". This is a shop opened by a Chinese boss. Seeing that he has a good image and is doing things neatly, he is left to stay and pay on time.

　　Yang Rui had no money to eat, and if he didn’t call Thomas for help, he would starve to death without a job. This is a double benefit, he must always pay attention to the Knicks situation, find a good time to interview.

　　 After his trip to New Jersey, he wanted to understand that if he just held a certificate, there would be no chance to show his age and seniority will become factors for being sentenced to death.

　　 He has to wait, wait for other coaches to compete, and then make a comparison together. Everyone has a certificate, can’t even give him the opportunity to participate in the discussion?

　　 Yang Rui has a good memory in his past life. After many years of NBA data work, he can remember all major events. He knew the situation the Knicks faced this summer, and Van Gundy had a hard time.

　　 Last season, the Knicks led the Heat 3-1 in the second round. In the fifth game, Charlie Ward of 188CM was picked up by PJ Brown of 211CM and fell off the court. The two teams immediately began a group fight. The melee was very fierce. After the game, the Knicks included Ewing, Starks, Larry Johnson and so on. The main team is suspended, but the Heat are only suspended by Brown.

　　 In the sixth game, Ewing and Alan Houston were both absent, and in the seventh game, Starks and Larry Johnson were absent, resulting in a substantial decline in the team's strength. The ignition caused the Knicks to pay a painful price for their rush to the crown and were turned over 4-3 by the Heat.

　　 This way out, made the Knicks boss and fans very angry.

　　Knicks old assistant Rex Hughes chose to retire. Another assistant Andy Greer's contract expired, responding to Pat Riley's call and transferred to the Heat. With the addition of Bob Salmi who left in 1996, the Knicks coaching staff left Van Gundy, the bare commander.

　　According to the original history, Thibodeau, who was cut by the 76ers, will join and become the first assistant coach of the Knicks. Others Yang Rui are not clear. He just wanted to wait for Thibodeau to compete with him.

　　 The 76-man management's vision was speechless. They not only cut Thibodeau, but also the assistant teacher Ron Adams who was laid off was also very famous. Later, he went to the Spurs and became a good helper for Popovich.

　　In addition to serving as a waiter in a snack bar, Yang Rui ran to the stadium to chat with security guards and guards to obtain first-hand information. He bought a fat janitor named Kenning with mung bean cake, a special snack, and begged him to call the snack bar when someone came to interview the assistant.

　　Kungfu lives up to the caring people. On the 27th, Yang Rui finally gave Xibodu to Pan, and there was another person who was openly recruited.

　　 "Xiao Xiao, let me go out and help me to tell the boss urgent things." Yang Rui took off his work clothes and shouted in Chinese to the Chinese girls working together.

　　 "When are you coming back?"

"in the afternoon."

　　 Yang Rui got the certificate and rode the door-to-door bike to the stadium. The snack bar was two streets away from the arena, and he used the bus for private purposes.

　　 This opportunity must be seized, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. To this end, Yang Rui, the location of the arena office, has also investigated.

　　 "I'm sorry, sir, the work area can't move around at will, do you have an appointment?" asked the female assistant.

　　 "Apply for Knicks assistant coach, I am with two people." Yang Rui smiled and passed the certificate.

　　 He didn't say that there was an appointment, but only indicated that he had come to apply and played a word game. Even if Van Gundy asked, it was not a lie.

　　The female assistant has just seen two similar certificates. She also knew that the management called someone for an interview today. There is no doubt that there is fraud, and she said with a smile: "Sir, please come here."

　　 "Thank you, let me go in." Yang Rui deliberately opened the assistant to avoid embarrassment.

　　He knocked on the door first, and he heard the sound of "please come in" before he opened the door and walked in. There were four men in the room, two of whom he recognized at a glance.

　　 The forehead is bright, and the hair is slightly longer on both sides. It looks like a small man who has gone through the vicissitudes and is similar to the iron fist game Mishima. It is Jeff Van Gundy who was born on January 19, 1962. Well, he is actually only 35 years old.

　　 Another guy in a suit is Thibodeau, who is much younger than Yang Rui's impression and has a flat head. Thibodeau is also well-recognized, as long as Batman's old rival "Penguin".

　　 The two other older whites he didn't know were the team's general manager Ernie Grunfeld and Ken Boyd who came to hire assistants.

　　 Boyd is not a small player. After 10 years of NCAA coaching, he played in the NBA briefly in the 1970s and is a poor white defender.

"Hello everyone, my friend introduced me to the interview, UU reading www.uukanshu.com This is my ID." Yang Rui first smiled at Thibodeau and Van Gundy, and then handed the ID to Ernie because Ernie was sitting Manager's position.

　　Vandi is the most decisive person on the spot and must be pleased.

　　Yang Rui smiled at Thibodeau, but it was confusing, giving everyone an illusion. Yang Rui was introduced by Thibodeau. After this interview, if asked, Yang Rui would say it was introduced by other friends.

　　 Thibodeau politely smiled at Yang Rui. He and Boyd were surprised because Yang Rui was too young.

　　 This Asian is here for a coach? Are you kidding me?

　　Ernie asked everyone's doubts. "Your name is Jerry Yang, only 23 years old this year? Chinese American?"

"Well, I grew up in the United States. Today I only asked for an opportunity to show myself and participate in this assessment. I know that the hopes left are very slim, and I am very satisfied with what I can learn. I also asked the manager, Coach Van Gundy to give me this opportunity. "After finishing talking, Yang Rui bowed politely to the two.

　　 A few minutes from the stadium to the entrance, Yang Rui did his job.

　　 As the saying goes, if you reach out and don’t smile, then why does he put his posture so low?

　　Ernie nodded, as if he was introduced by a friend. Fan Gandi also ignored the details of how Yang Rui came.

　　The Knicks urgently need an assistant coach, otherwise no one will lead the summer league in July. They will have to find a marginal team to investigate the newcomers.

　　 "Okay, let's start the assessment now. Everyone listens to my question and everyone has to answer it." Fan Gandi said seriously.

　　 The three people who came to bid for teaching assistants nodded solemnly.

　　Yang Rui was relieved in his heart. For him, the most important first pass successfully passed.
