At the end of August, the Lakers coaching staff were also determined.

Yang Rui again invited Jeff Hornacek from the "Death Gun" to Los Angeles from Washington. This time Hornacek agreed happily, and he followed the gold plating of Yang Rui. If the Lakers win the championship, he will definitely become the head coach of a team in the future.

However, Hornacek is not the team's first assistant, his lack of experience, currently good at teaching players to shoot.

Yang Rui let Kupchak dig up experienced Grizzlies assistant Lionel Hollins. He was the assistant of coach Hubby Brown last season, and the contract expired.

Hollins agreed to the Lakers' invitation. He knows that even if coach Brown retires, his chances of succeeding as the Grizzlies coach are minimal, because he is the Grizzlies' defensive coach, and the Grizzlies boss wants the team to strengthen the offense to attract fans.

He helped the Blazers win the 1977 championship when he was a player, and was also selected as the best defensive lineup, All-Star. After retiring, he worked as an assistant coach and worked as a Grizzlies transition coach in the 99-00 season, coaching 60 games with a 30% win rate.

Hollins's specialty is to build a defensive system. In Yang Rui’s previous life, he reached the 08-09 season and started to coach the rebuilt Grizzlies. He quickly brought the Grizzlies back to the playoffs and tuned out many excellent defenses. Player.

Now he is doing well. Battier and Posey are outstanding defensively, only because they are young and less popular, and are not selected for the best defensive lineup. Davis's defensive ability was also confirmed under his training.

Yang Rui also appointed a retired point guard as a teaching assistant.

Scott Brooks is 180 cm tall and weighs only 75 kg. He looks like an ordinary person. After retiring in 2001, he has no teaching assistant experience.

Yang Rui's reason for looking for Brooks is that when he is a player, the ball quotient is high and he has the potential to be a coach. This reason is far-fetched. Brooks entered the NBA as a non-draft player in 1988 because of poor physical fitness. He played 7 starts in the entire NBA career, averaging 4.9 points, 1 rebound and 2.4 assists. He averaged only 13.6 minutes per game, made 4 shots, shot 1.8 goals, shot 45%, 37.2% three-points is the only bright spot, more than 40% in multiple seasons.

Brooks' biggest flash point was when he got a championship ring with the Rockets in the 93-94 season. Such a person is very common.

No matter how many Kupchak, Yang Rui said he wanted him, and he would find it.

The hapless man was former Lakers player Brian Shaw. Kupchak recommended him to Yang Rui as an assistant, but was rejected.

Yang Rui knew that Brian Shaw was simply incapable of doing it. He had been in the Lakers for many years. His only specialty was kneeling and licking Kobe. As the coach’s ten thousand years of spare tires, he finally got the opportunity to coach the Nuggets in 13 years, 56 wins and 85 losses. Sadly after class, the winning rate is 39.7%.

On September 1, the Lakers received another piece of good news. The court formally pronounced Kobe innocent, and the Eagle County case ended.

The result was unreasonable, because the underwear worn by Caitlyn Fieber, the "QJ" girl, had discovered the DNA of three men during DNA testing, including Kobe's DNA. There was no way to explain this, and the jury was unwilling to believe the girl. Eventually, he could only withdraw the complaint and Kobe Bryant settled out of court for $1 million.

The case has been tossing for more than a year, and Eagle County’s courts have the worst efficiency in history. According to media analysis, the reason why the lawsuit is played for so long is related to local customs.

The locals in Eagle County get along very harmoniously, and it is one of the regions with the lowest crime rate in the United States. In 2003, there was only one criminal case. The local judiciary firmly grasped the only opportunity and proved that they were not eating public leisure. Meal...

On the morning of September 4, Yang Rui called Kobe.

Before Kobe was in a bad mood, Yang Rui didn't take the initiative to contact him, he was all in Los Angeles, and it was time to meet. In the new season, they must have a good relationship.

Yang Rui will not be as good as Byron Scott when he was on the Nets, seeing the team's core first thing to come off in advance. He knew very well that he and Kobe were two grasshoppers on a rope.

As long as Kobe played beautiful data, the Lakers record improved, Yang Rui broke the record for the fourth time the chance to get the best coach is also greater.

As for trading Kobe, it was just that he talked to Old Bath, in order to better control Kobe. If the transaction is really required, Yang Rui will only offend Old Bath. Who can trade Kobe for strength and commercial value? Old Bath is definitely not willing.

Therefore, unless Old Bath and Yang Rui both passed through Kehei, and they were disgusted by the brain disability in their previous lives, they would not do so.

The two briefly exchanged words, and Yang Rui smiled and asked, "Is there time in the evening? How about eating together? You take your wife, and I call my girlfriend."

"Of course." Kobe paused. "I treat you."

"No, why did I propose to eat to make you treat me?" Yang Rui smiled. "Don't be polite, when I will spend your money in the future, I have prepared a small proposal that requires you to spend it."

"Uh……"

"Let's talk in detail at night."

In Yang Rui's previous life, Kobe was demonized by many people because of the negative news outside the court, and the poor record in the latter part of his career. For now, Kobe can still communicate.

The Lakers failed to establish the dynasty in the three championships. Kobe was much more low-key and obviously lacked confidence. Even if he won the MVP of the regular season and OVP of the finals MVP, he would not dare to say how strong he is, nor will he retire after Yang Rui’s previous life. Shouting "The strongest in the history of OK combination."

Last season, Kobe would listen to the coach's arrangement of running tactics, but when he couldn't win, his mind would easily get hot and he would change to himself.

Kobe became a cancer late in his career because he did not want to accept the fact that he was old and in a state of decline. He insisted on the past style of play and refused to change the ball to the young teammates. lightnovelpub.net~ In terms of character, Kobe and Jordan Much like this, Yang Rui appreciates this.

In the evening, Yang Rui invited Kobe and his wife to go to the famous Western restaurant KAGAYA in Los Angeles to eat Kobe beef.

The authentic Kobe beef is priced at US$25 per ounce, and the price of a normal 16-ounce steak is US$400. The steak's dip is also very particular, and the taste is far better than the average steak.

This meal, together with red wine, consumes nearly $5,000 and is full of sincerity. Kobe suddenly felt close to Yang Rui. "It turns out that you also know this store, I like it very much."

"I have come often since I moved to Los Angeles. I have hosted food shows. When the boss saw me, I was afraid of being exposed and rushed to give me a membership card." Yang Rui laughed.

In Japan, about 5,500 cows are sent to the Kobe beef certification department every year, but only about 3,000 cows can be certified as Kobe beef, which is a very rare and high-end food in the world.

It was not until the end of 2012 that Kobe beef was legally exported to the United States. Therefore, the owner of this shop is a guy who smuggles Kobe beef through special channels, which can only be eaten by celebrities from Los Angeles.

After chatting for a while and waiting for the dish to come up, Yang Rui smiled and said: "Kobe, I set some goals for you in the new season without permission. I hope you can do it."

"What's the goal?" Bryant thought he wanted to say tactics and asked seriously.

Yang Rui smiled: "I hope you can average 35 points to win the scoring leader, get the regular season MVP, play in the playoffs a little selfless, help teammates play, because the opponent will definitely prevent you from scoring, you Increasing the number of passes will have unexpected effects."

"What?" Bryant froze for a moment, showing a bright smile he had never seen before.

Yang Rui's cake is so big that he is going to kill him.
