Espn's commentator Brin said when talking about Lin Rui: "Lin Rui is probably the strongest rookie we have ever seen. Lin Rui is almost challenging the league structure with his own strength this year. Under Lin Rui's leadership, the Knicks also successfully rushed out of the East and lost after fighting with the Lakers."

Van Gundy said: "The Knicks' core team building is very clear. Next, we will strengthen Lin Rui. I think the Knicks will be even more terrifying next season!!"

.....

"Lin Rui can leave with his head raised!"

"Hey, I'm a Lakers fan, but why am I unhappy? Because Lin Rui lost?"

"Lin Rui is really hard-working, but he was cheated by the Knicks' operations."

"I hope the Knicks will have an All-Star coming next season to help Lin Rui and fire Thomas, which is too incompetent."

Domestic Lin Rui fans also expressed regret for this result!

.....

"Dang, the season is over, and you will win the runner-up in the finals and reward 200 win points."

The reward is very generous, but Lin Rui is not happy.

Lin Rui entered the shower room and took a shower.

After taking a shower, I followed Coach Thomas out for an interview.

Coach Thomas took the lead in bringing the microphone over. He did not ask the reporter to ask questions, but said first: "I take all responsibility for the loss of this year's finals. I will resign from my position as head coach and then do my best to help the team sign ups in the summer!"

Coach Thomas resigned very poorly!

Thomas is the general manager part-time head coach. He doesn't do it anymore, he has to focus on team operations.

"Kake!!"

Lin Rui knew about Thomas' decision when he was already in the locker room, and he respected Thomas' choice.

Although Coach Thomas did not give Lin Rui much guidance, he gave Lin Rui the greatest space for free growth.

The flash kept on turning on, and Thomas became the first NBA head coach to announce his resignation this summer.

The reporters pointed the microphone at Lin Rui.

"Lin Rui, what do you think of Coach Thomas' resignation?"

"Is there any summary of this final?"

"What do you think is the main reason why the Knicks lost the series?"

"Will you participate in the team's trade in the summer?"

"What kind of rookie do you think the Knicks will choose this year?"

"How should the Knicks strengthening be carried out?"

Thomas chose to leave, but Lin Rui could not leave.

Lin Rui answered questions from reporters one by one.

Mature!

Still confident!

This is the perception of the reporters seeing Lin Rui’s calm mentality.

Lin Rui also grew up after experiencing failure.

The interview lasted half an hour.

Then Lin Rui followed the team back to the bus, headed to the airport, and flew back to New York!

At the airport in New York, Thomas announced the disbandment of the team and officially entered the holiday!!

....

....

The Knicks players are on vacation, but Thomas and the management have not yet had a vacation.

There are many more jobs in their work.

The first is the NBA draft.

The Knicks have a No. 8 draw this year, then a No. 2 draw in the second round and a No. 3 draw in the second round.

These three draws were not obtained based on the record, but were obtained by exchanging transactions with other teams before.

Otherwise, with the Knicks' record, the Knicks' signings will be very low, and the management needs to study them carefully.

Thomas has also been communicating with Lin Rui about the situation of the rookie to be selected.

The Knicks already have a preliminary plan and have multiple alternatives to choose from.

In addition to the draft, we are going to find a suitable head coach for the Knicks.

Similarly, there are also some candidates for the Knicks' successor head coach, but they still need to be inspected and interviewed.

Although Thomas has no position as head coach, he has received support from Lin Rui and continues to be the general manager. He is still full of energy.

.........

Lin Rui's side.

It was already late at night when I got home.

Li Feifei and Zeng Xiaoran were waiting for Lin Rui to come back.

"Brother Rui, thank you for your hard work." Li Feifei said as she helped Lin Rui walk towards the room with her luggage bag.

"It's nothing to lose the game, you are the best." Zeng Xiaoran also comforted Lin Rui.

Zeng Xiaoran could feel that Lin Rui was in a bad mood.

"Well, I'm fine." Lin Rui said.

Zeng Xiaoran would occasionally come to accompany Li Feifei when she was away, and the relationship between the two was still very secret.

"Brother Rui, I've fried rice. You can eat something to keep your stomach." Li Feifei put down her luggage and said.

"Yes." Lin Rui walked towards the dining table.

Sit down and finish the fried rice bite by bit.

Although she was in a normal mood, Lin Rui still enjoyed Li Feifei's kindness.

After eating fried rice, Lin Rui and Li Feifei went back to their room.

.....

.....

"Lin, how many days of vacation do you want in summer?" Early the next morning, agent Schwartz called.

"Give me ten days off." Lin Rui said.

"Okay, then I'll schedule it to send it to your email later." Schwartz said.

"Okay!" Lin Rui said.

Lin Rui is very busy in summer, has many endorsements, and advertising shooting requires running.

During the ten-day holiday, I accompanied Li Feifei and Zeng Xiaoran back to my hometown.

Then Li Feifei would accompany Lin Rui to endorse and conduct advertising shooting, and the two would travel together while working.

The itinerary is all in the country, so it won't be very troublesome.

Lin Rui doesn't want to waste his time on things other than basketball.

This season is to accumulate original funds.

After the start of next season, Lin Rui will reduce these tasks, after all, Lin Rui is not short of money.

In addition to these personal affairs, Lin Rui's biggest job is to be busy with the Olympics.

The Beijing Olympics are Olympics held at your doorstep. Lin Rui will join the training team after the holiday!

In addition to Lin Rui, other national team members have started training.

Lin Rui had to play in the finals and then had to rest, so he was postponed.

...........

June 27.

The draft was held at the Madison Garden Arena.

Lin Rui attended the draft as a member of the Knicks.

Lin Rui and Thomas sat in the box together discussing the draft.

There is no suspense about the No. 1 pick, and the Bulls chose Derek Rose from the University of Memphis.

Derek Ross was also compared with Lin Rui in the same period last year.

Ross is a breakthrough defender. He has great talent, but his shooting ability is not good.
