Korean entertainment, I am crazy
Chapter 1599
There was a burst of thunder, and heavy rain began to fall. The sky seemed to be covered with a string of bead curtains. The night scene in the rain in New York was very charming.
Yang Rui, who was soaked in the rain, hurried into an old apartment building on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, tried a few keys to open the door of the apartment on the fourth floor, and stared blankly at everything in front of him.
This is a mini hut with a maximum of 8 square meters. There is a two-story iron frame bed. You must be careful when you get up when you sleep on the upper bunk. Your head can easily reach the roof. The lower bunk is now used as a table and is neatly placed. With some books and clothing.
On a shabby desk next to it, there was only a bread machine and a pot, a few small plates and a bowl, two sets of chopsticks, and a spoon.
The amazing thing is that this apartment has a bathroom. Sitting on the toilet, people can touch the door with their knees. It is so small that people will never gain weight after moving in.
Yang Rui shivered and changed her clothes, wrapped in a blanket, and muttered to herself: "I almost froze to death...I was born again, right?"
He walked to the door. There was a small mirror on the door with a strange face in it.
He took a photo for a while, accepting the reality with surprise.
Yang Rui was 33 years old in his previous life. He graduated from a college degree in computer science. He was a member of the basketball team during school. He especially understood basketball and sports news. After graduation, he applied for a large sports website as an administrator and was responsible for updating the NBA section thematic content, including players. Statistics, team salary, record ranking, season player honors, etc.
He did a great job and quickly became a white-collar worker on a sports website. He was paid and relatively leisurely. He had been working for twelve years. He didn't expect to wear it to New York in June 1997. A drunkard was caught in the rain. Wake up.
He didn't even know how he got through it, obviously it was broad daylight and no accident happened.
His last memory is very clear. In the afternoon, he sat in the office as usual. The newly bought Samsung "Never Explode" mobile phone had just been fully charged. He called a friend and made an appointment to eat together at night...Suddenly he was in the United States.
The memory appeared intermittently in his mind, and he found it home based on the merged memory.
This person's name is Jerry Yang, 23 years old of Chinese descent.The name was given by the dean of the orphanage, because he especially liked watching the cartoon "Cat and Mouse" when he was a child, and smiled happily when he saw Jerry Mouse appear.
When he was 8 years old, Jerry was adopted by a middle-aged Chinese surnamed Yang. At the age of 17, his adoptive father died of illness. He did not leave much inheritance to treat the illness. Jerry had to work with Thomas Bentley, the best friend of the same age in the orphanage. It was very hard working together.
Memories are like watching a movie, one picture after another, Yang Rui gradually gets excited.
He is not only ten years younger, but Jerry has actually attended a five-star training camp coaching class with Thomas’s funding. He just obtained a basketball coach qualification this year and can compete to become a basketball coach in various leagues.
It's a pity that Jerry spent four months running hundreds of schools across the United States. No matter whether he applied for a head coach or an assistant, he failed.
The reality is so cruel, most schools don't give him a chance at all, and the person in charge will drive him away like a beggar.
Having spent all his savings and exhausted, Jerry returned to New York. Last night, he was invited to an in-circle party. He was depressed to discover that the people who graduated from the training camp during the same period, whether good or bad, all found jobs.
At the party, Jerry heard a lot of harsh "concerns".
"Don't worry, you need to rest, look for a job with dark circles, how do you look like a coach? How can you make a good impression?"
"If you apply for a job like this, of course you won't be successful. People who don't know thought you were going to interview a cleaner. Listen to me, buy good clothes first, and then try again."
"Didn't you do well in the restaurant before? What coaching class did you take. I told you a long time ago that no matter what you do, you can't succeed without concentration."
"Little mouse, I kindly advise you to change your career quickly, stop dreaming, you can't be a basketball coach."
Yang Rui looked so hot as a bystander. This is called persuasion?This is really blatant discrimination.
In the future, the Internet will be developed and many dark things will be hidden from view. The United States is by no means heaven.
Jerry's coach has a solid basic skills. It is not a problem to arrange player training and arrange offensive and defensive tactics. The fundamental reason why he can't even coach the junior high school team is racial discrimination.
Take a look at how American cities divide residential areas.In addition to division by economic status, it is divided by race, ethnicity, and ancestry.
"Chinatown", "Puerto Rican Quarter", "Italian Quarter", "Black Quarter", "Latin Quarter" and so on... Each district has its own system, and the architectural form is nationally stylized, including their welfare and mutual aid organizations, It also has its own underworld and gangs.
Job discrimination is more obvious.The most typical example is when the United States legally refuses to recognize the qualifications of many third world countries.In this way, a large number of doctors and technicians from other countries would find it difficult to find jobs after immigrating to the United States, so they had to switch careers and engage in simple manual labor and auxiliary work.
Blacks and Asians are the most discriminated against in the United States, followed by Latin Americans. It seems that the degree of discrimination is proportional to their skin color. It is too difficult to find a tall job.
Yang Rui was very upset when he received these memories. If he were to fight back, he wouldn't give these students a half-hearted look.
Jerry chose to be patient, drank a lot of stuffiness, left the party drunk, walked a long way, and finally slept on a deck chair by the road.
Jerry is not a fragile person, on the contrary, his perseverance is amazing, so he can get the coveted certificate.But he bumped into walls everywhere in the job interview, mixed into his current virtue, and his nerves couldn't stand it.
The person who excites him the most is actually his friend Thomas.
Thomas is so outstanding. He has been a top student since he was a child. He has been a first-class scholarship recipient during his four years at Ivy League Columbia University.And he will devote time, energy and attention to work that can be paid, never letting go of any opportunity to make money.
Compared with his best friends, Jerry looked like a waste.
Thomas graduated from Columbia University this year and went for an internship in a company in Los Angeles, but Jerry only had 8 dollars left in his pocket. Even the rent for this dwelling was rented by Thomas.
Jerry owes too much to the other party. He didn't attend the other party's graduation ceremony because he went out to find a job. He witnessed his friend wearing a Columbia University bachelor's hat.
Yang Rui took a deep breath, carefully took out the precious certificate from the drawer of the broken desk, looked and looked again, his brows gradually opened up, and a smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.
"Poor fellow, let me continue your life, and I will help you realize your dreams!"
Yang Rui is very willing to become a basketball coach. Making money is secondary. The most important thing is to be able to play B. It is also related to the work of the previous life, which can prove that he did not work in vain in his previous life.
What about starting from scratch?He comes from the future, knows many important things, and understands the future of the NBA. His vision is unmatched.Nobody in the school is a problem at all, there are ready opportunities nearby. Jerry hasn't interviewed an NBA team yet.
As long as Yang Rui participates in the team's signings, he can make up a team of potential stars, give him a coaching opportunity, and he will definitely become a qualified coach.
No, I should become the best basketball coach!The weather in New York is not hot in June, and it rains several times a week.
Summer cultural performances begin at this time each year. There are concerts in Central Park, and operas and dances near Lincoln Center. The performances are dazzling and colorful. It is the best time to learn about the local customs in New York.
But Yang Rui didn't have much mood to play, especially when there were only single digits left in all the houses, he considered which route from the Upper West Side to New Jersey was the cheapest.
Searching for memory, he found that New Jersey was only a river away from Manhattan, two kilometers in a straight line, so he went there on foot.
His goal is the Nets, and he is such a bold person.
In his previous life, he held a junior college diploma from a third-rate university and dared to apply for a white-collar position in a big company. He succeeded and was regarded as a god by his classmates.Had his parents both passed away early, he would have been proud of him.
He wore a dark blue sportswear and shaved his beard. Although he looks more like a player than a coach, this outfit at least feels refreshing and capable, and will leave a good impression.
Going out early in the morning, he arrived at Luhang Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey at around 10 in the morning.
He is confident, Jerry has a lot of knowledge about basketball coaches in his memory, he has a solid foundation, and he understands the popular tactical concepts of the NBA in the future, which is a combination of two swords.
His first choice was the Nets, because the Nets were bad enough, only 30 wins and 52 losses in the 1995-96 season. In 96-97, the University of Massachusetts coach John Calipari was in charge of the team. The result was even worse, 26 Win 56 losses.
If Calipari doesn't show any results next season, he will not be far from get out of class.Calipari is a disciple of Larry Brown. He is good at building a defensive system and has a terrible offense. Yang Rui believes his offensive philosophy can impress him.
Yang Rui also knows that this year the Nets will trade from the 76ers for No. 2 pick Van Horn. The tactical effect is obvious. After the first half of the season, the second half of the season began to exert force and returned to the playoffs.
The team played poorly in the early stage, so as long as Calipari is given a strong laxative in the mid-term, he will have the opportunity to be ordered to rise in the face of the defeat, be ordered to rise strongly and turn the tide.
Wait, both are illusions...
Yang Rui shook his head. Such misconceptions were obviously Jerry's thoughts. Fortunately, he passed through and there was another good person in the world.
After the regular season, two assistant coaches of the Nets were fired, and Calipari needed a new assistant to stay in the arena and discuss work with the management.
Yang Rui came at a good time and successfully handed over his resume. Calipari and everyone in the management were surprised. First, he was qualified as a coach at such a young age. Second, he did not have any coaching resume at all. Third, he actually dared Come to the NBA team for an interview?!
"You have never coached in school, so come to apply for an NBA team assistant coach?" Manager Ed Stefansky looked at Yang Rui in disbelief.
Anyone joining the NBA at the age of 23 is a step forward. There has never been such a precedent in NBA history.
As the world's highest-level basketball league, even an assistant, not everyone can do it. Therefore, Ed suspects that Yang Rui's brain is abnormal and is crazy.
"Yes." Yang Rui smiled and nodded.
"Why should we hire you? In the United States, there are countless coaches with coaching experience." Ed showed disdain.
Facing the other party's question, Yang Rui remained calm, his mental age was much older.In other words, he is the manager of the team and feels that young people are unreliable.
This is not discrimination, but human nature.
"Because I have the ability to take the Nets offensively to the next level, can I know if Mr. Calipari takes the test? I can't fake it." Yang Rui looked at Calipari sitting on the sofa. .
Calipari sat on the sofa without raising his head, and hummed: "Wait for you to take the students to play for a few years before thinking about the NBA. I have no time to waste time with you."
"So, if you don't try, you have to refuse?" Yang Rui's eyes changed, and he felt uneasy.Calipari doesn't want to test him with questions. What does it mean to be sarcastic?
Treating friends as warm as spring, and treating enemies as cruel and ruthless like winter is his way of life.
"Yes, you have the time to play tricks, it is better to go to the middle school team to try your luck. People must have self-knowledge." Calipari made no secret of his disdain.
Yang Rui looked at Calipari directly and smiled: "The dribble breakthrough strategy, I think it should be called'AASAA', that is,'I play, I play, I suddenly, I play, I play again. Mr. Calipari, you have carried forward this set of tactics and gave it a new title DDM. Among them, the defender’s ability to break through the ball is its goal, am I right?"
"What do you mean?" Calipari's face turned gloomy when the young man suddenly arranged his proud tactics.
This is a guard-oriented offensive routine. The guards constantly rush and penetrate in the offensive half, hit the rim or give a shot back from outside the three-point line.The core is the outside line, the inside line only needs a blue-collar rebounder, so the Nets responded to Calipari's request and traded Van Horn.
Yang Rui went on to say: "What I mean is very simple. If the opponent gets stuck at the core guard, you can't win without a good point guard."
"Heh, are you teaching me? I have never seen a young man mader than you." Calipari glared at Yang Rui, only to find that the other party was still calm and calm, showing a chilling back. Smile.
"."
Hearing words like a curse, Calipari was angry."What are you? The Chinese don't even have anyone who can play in the NBA. They don't know basketball at all. You deserve to judge me?"
"Unworthy of evaluation? People must have self-knowledge. When you are scolded by fans and cut by the Nets in the future, you will definitely regret it. If you are not so arrogant, you may have a completely different life." After that, Yang Rui He got up and walked out of the office slowly.
Nets, go to hell, a brain-dead team that has never won an NBA championship.
At this moment, Yang Rui deeply understands what it means to be "unsatisfied with talent". It is obvious that you are very capable. The most difficult thing is not to do your job well, but to make those who have no ability but the right to speak believe you.
Manager Ed and Calipa looked at each other. They didn't expect such a young man. Is this the attitude you should have when you come to apply for a job?They failed to apply for a job, and they never said anything like ranting to belittle the head coach.
Ed wondered why Yang Rui had the confidence to do this. Could it be that this Chinese really had two chances?There are only a handful of people who have obtained the coaching qualifications at the age of 23, and the five-star training camp certificate is genuine.
"Damn, I don't believe that a team would want him." Calipari said angrily.
He didn't pay attention to Yang Rui. He felt that Yang Rui was young as a player.
