Chapter 269 [The legendary king is all my credit]

Yang Rui's mood is extremely refreshing, and the hard work is worth it at this moment.

The last time he won the championship in New York, he was only an assistant coach, and the credit cannot be attributed to him.This time is different, he is the protagonist of the team.In Toronto, he will be the hero of the city!
The fly in the ointment is that Yang Rui's girlfriend Stana Katic did not come to the scene to win the away championship, only his friend Thomas Bentley came to support.

Thomas stepped onto the court and gave Yang Rui a hug. "I think you're an alien now, and you set a new record. I'm so proud of you."

"I'm also proud of you, you are the man who suppressed Microsoft in the IT industry." Yang Rui smiled.

"It's not me, it's us." Thomas slapped him in the chest.

Owner Richard Peddie and manager Glenn Gruward also hugged Yang Rui one by one.

Richard said excitedly: "Jerry, thank you, thank you for everything you have done for the Raptors."

"Yes, next season, we will defend the title together." Yang Rui smiled.

The happiest person in the coaching staff was not Yang Rui, but Mike D'Antoni, who hugged his family excitedly with tears in his eyes.

Last year he had two options, one to be an assistant with the Raptors, and the other to be a one-year scout with the Spurs.He wants to be a Spurs scout, of course, in order to learn two defenses from Popovich, make up for his shortcomings, and strive to be the head coach in the future.But he prefers to attack and win, and wants to go the fast break.

After the discussion, the family supported D'Antoni to do what he liked and were willing to accompany him to live in Toronto, so he made up his mind to sign a three-year contract.

Now he's thankful that he didn't lose himself and deny his basketball philosophy.The success of the Raptors has convinced him that it is also possible to win in the NBA by attacking.Also, he learned defense with the Raptors.

The players were all excited, especially Carter, who knew that he was about to become the legendary king. Few people have won double MVPs in a single season in the NBA.

Detref-Schramf laughed and yelled like crazy.

When he left the SuperSonics and other teams were reluctant to give him a high salary, he felt that his career was hopeless. He joined the Raptors only to fight for a big contract for retirement. When he was young, he was always low-paid and high-energy, and he didn’t make much money.

As a result, he won the championship ring at the end of his career, and Gary Payton, who was fighting with the Sonics, could only struggle for a playoff spot.

Detrev is preparing to retire this summer, his competitive form has declined, and he wants to rest.

Hornacek also had this idea, the three elders of the jazz, only he succeeded in realizing his dream.He was a little scared. If Yang Rui didn't visit Salt Lake City, he would definitely miss this opportunity and regret it for the rest of his life.

McGrady's smile was very light, and what he thought was that he could leave the Raptors in the summer without any regrets, and go to the big city team to pursue a maximum salary and core treatment.

People's ambitions will continue to expand. In the beginning, McGrady just wanted to be an ordinary star. Now he wants to see how far his strength can go if he has the privilege. He doesn't want to fight like Pippen for a lifetime.

If the Raptors were in a big city like Los Angeles, New York, or Chicago, he could have stayed behind to build a dynasty.But the Raptors are in Toronto...who wants to stay in Canada until they retire?

Christie is a completely free agent and is concerned about the summer contract. Although his statistics are average, he has completed the defensive task and is the starter of the championship team, so he should be able to get a big contract.

As for whether to leave or stay, which team to go to, Christie can't decide, he has to listen to his wife.

Billups didn't think about leaving. He just hoped that the management could provide a decent contract and get some more ball rights next season. If a teammate leaves, he has a high chance of being in the position.

After a while, the players put on their championship caps and President David Stern presented the championship trophy.

Carter excitedly took the trophy and delivered the MVP acceptance speech. Most of the home fans chose to stay.Here, Carter also has a high popularity.

Carter said: "I am a lucky player. If I hadn't joined the Raptors, I don't think I would have been on the NBA championship podium so soon. Winning the championship is the result of the team's joint efforts, and I feel very honored... "

Carter said a lot and thanked a lot of people. It is not Chinese who can give a report-style testimonial.

After the award, David Stern had a special chat with Yang Rui. "Jerry, you've done a great job. Keep up the good work next season. Maybe the whole league will be an offensive team in the future, and you're a trend-setter."

"There must be a day in the NBA when almost all teams average [-] points per game, the rhythm is dominated by fast breaks, and the star data will be more beautiful." Yang Rui and Stern shook hands firmly.

As soon as the two made eye contact, they knew they had the same idea.

"Haha, well said." Stern hugged Yang Rui and patted him on the back.

This is a promise that will not be made explicit. As long as the Raptors continue to attack and Carter is the core of the team, they will be the object of the league next season.

Yang Rui's interview is much more interesting than the players. "Look, what did I say before the season started? People watched the Raptors again for most of the season and said I was dreaming, and now we're going to the locker room to spray champagne and play."

The reporter asked: "Is there anything you want to say to the players?"

Yang Rui showed a contemplative expression and said after five seconds, "It seems not, I just want to celebrate."

Back in the locker room, everyone used the champagne they had prepared. They didn't think about playing the fifth game.

At the press conference, Yang Rui once again became the focus of the audience because he was not polite at all.

"I joined the NBA three years ago as an assistant coach for the Knicks, and in 1998, I got a championship ring, but because I was an assistant, I didn't have the opportunity to give a long speech, which I always regret. Now I finally have I have the opportunity to express my thoughts here, so although I really want to keep a low profile, I can’t keep a low profile at all. Haha.”

The reporter asked: "What is your biggest feeling right now?"

"Thanks to the owner and the general manager for giving me the opportunity to coach the Raptors. I was only 24 years old when I signed. It took a lot of courage. Now, we have made the right choices."

The reporter asked: "What do you think is the reason for the success of the Raptors?"

Yang Rui thought for a while, then smiled and said: "When I first came to the Raptors, the team's record was the last in the Eastern Conference. When I saw the roster, I knew that my task was very arduous. Fortunately, they are all very talented. Over the course of the season, I taught them how to be confident, how to play properly, as a team, and they became a bunch of stars."

The reporters listened attentively, and no one interrupted.

"The Raptors are the most popular team because of the offense, the fast-paced play. The fans say it every day: It's unbelievable, it's so cool, it's so exciting to watch these guys play, and Carter will definitely come. Being able to surpass Jordan..." Yang Rui paused and said solemnly: "So, it's all my credit for the Raptors to win the championship, thank you all!"

I wipe, the final credit is all yours? !
People in the venue dropped their jaws, and then everyone laughed, and many people applauded vigorously.

Winning the championship, of course, cannot be attributed to the head coach. Yang Rui's statement is more interesting than what other team coaches say.

Everyone feels that there is no sense of disobedience. He is such a person who likes to joke.
