Korean entertainment, I am crazy

Chapter 1602 People are always changing

Yang Rui decided to call his friend Thomas Bentley.

The fetters of the two can be seen from their names. When he was in the orphanage, the dean named him Tom. They grew up together, although they had different skin colors, they were better than brothers.

Searching for memory, Yang Rui understands many bits and pieces in the process of growing up.

Tom was malnourished when he was a child. He was very thin. He was too lively and had a little hyperactivity, so no family wanted to adopt him.Jerry was adopted when he was 8 years old, and often went to the orphanage to see Tom, and took out good things to share with him.

The two went to the same elementary school and the same junior high school.

At the age of 12, Tom looked like a 7 or 8 year old elementary school student. At the age of 14, he suddenly became thin and "the ugly duckling became a swan". He began to grow taller, with blond hair and a delicate appearance.

At this age, no one would adopt Tom. He started to work to support himself, and later changed his name to Thomas Bentley, which sounded a lot of momentum.The last name is the name of the car he likes, and it can also be translated into "Bentley" in Chinese.

After another four years, he has grown from a height of 155cm to 190cm, and he is very healthy.

In high school, Jerry's adoptive father passed away, and the roles of the two suddenly changed. Thomas began to benefit Jerry and help him through the difficulties.

Jerry, who studied poorly, didn't enter the university, so he could only enter society early.Thomas used his scholarship to help him realize his dream and got his coaching qualification certificate.

Because Jerry benefited unilaterally, many of Thomas' classmates didn't like him.

Thomas had two rich girlfriends, and persuaded him to alienate Jerry and think about his future, but he ended up breaking up with his girlfriend.

As long as Thomas chooses a rich second-generation girlfriend, he will not worry about his future career, but he chooses to raise this unrealistic brother who is chasing his dreams.

For this pair of friends, Yang Rui was quite speechless, and the sense of violation was too strong!

If Thomas was a woman, a pretty blonde with a strong personality, then the story would be much better.

She met a handsome and sunny guy who was willing to pay for him since she was a child. The two depended on each other for life. When she grew up, she became better and better. She has a promising future. The gap in status has hindered their relationship, but they never gave up on each other. After a series of setbacks, handsome Sunshine was unyielding and finally realized his dream, becoming an NBA basketball coach, and they were happily together...

Well, that's much better.(What a shit! You just want your best friend to be a beauty, right?!)

Yang Rui organized a vocabulary and broadcasted the phone.

You can't get out of contact with your good brother in this life just because you are reborn and your future memory character is dominant.Had it not been for Thomas' funding, he would not have been a coach.

The phone rang three times and the connection made Yang Rui feel a little nervous.

"Jerry, do you still know to call? Every time I call you, I'm not at home!" Thomas's roar came from the other end of the phone, directly yelling at Yang Rui, and forgot everything he wanted to say.

Thomas saw that he hadn't said a word for five seconds, and his voice dropped from 100 decibels to 10 decibels, and his tone went to the other extreme."Hey, nothing happened to you, right?"

"Nothing happened...I just wanted to tell you good news. I have found a job and I will definitely be able to pay back the money you lent me."

Yang Rui couldn't be as rude as Jerry. He never borrowed money in his previous life and hated owing favors. That would make him feel very uncomfortable.

Unexpectedly, Thomas went crazy over the phone."Fuckyou! You actually paid me back? Forgot what you said when I was in the orphanage? Your money is my money, and my money is yours. Are you crazy, right?"

In the United States, such things are very common. For example, Iverson was elected as the top pick and raised a group of brothers in the slum when he was rich, and used his own.In China, such things are absolutely rare.

Yang Rui quickly changed his mind."OK, don't get excited, don't worry, I'm not sick, just a joke, I will never pay you back! What I want to express is, now I have money!"

"Have you become a coach? Which school?" Thomas asked excitedly.

"It's not a school..." Yang Rui guessed that he was urinary. If he joined the Knicks, he could fly to New York immediately and send him to the nearest mental hospital.

"It's not a school, is it possible that a professional team wants you?" Thomas's tone changed a little strange.

"Yeah, you'll know soon, I'm going to Long Beach City on business, and I will arrive tomorrow." Yang Rui smiled.

Los Angeles is very close to Long Beach, and Thomas immediately picked it up: "Then I will go to Long Beach too. See you at the airport tomorrow. I will cover my board and lodging."

"Someone has booked a hotel for me, don't go around, I will go with my colleagues." Yang Rui asked, "Don't you need to go to work?"

"It's just an internship." Thomas asked with a smile, "Is my colleague pretty?"

"Man, a fat man, 40 years old." Yang Ruihan said.

"It's a pity," Thomas sighed.

In the early morning, Yang Rui and Thibodoo boarded the plane to Long Beach together. After leaving the airport the next morning, he saw his buddies at a glance.

"Hi, Jerry, I'm here." Thomas was tall and tall in a white T-shirt, gray slacks, and brown sunglasses.

He has a flat golden head and sharp features, and he has attracted scouts when walking on the street.He waved to Jerry and attracted many people's attention.

"This is your friend? Too much handsomer than you. You will definitely not be able to pick up girls when you go out with him." Xibodu had a rare humor.The two looked at the information together and discussed basketball tactics. They have been familiar with them these days.

"If you don't soak, you can't soak." Yang Rui smiled.

His feelings are downplayed, and he was not without a girlfriend in his previous life. He is more eager to do something big and succeed in his career.

After going out of security, the two brothers gave a hug.

Yang Rui doesn't worry about getting along with Thomas in the future. Like the image in his memory, he communicates very well, even strangers can easily become friends with him.

Thomas quietly reduced his smile, fearing that he would be too open to make it difficult for Yang Rui to do it, and asked in a low voice, "Is this your boss next to you?"

"No, let me introduce it." Yang Rui faced Xibodu."This is my good brother, Thomas Bentley."

"You can call me Tom." Thomas smiled.

In the United States, the nickname of Thomas is usually Tom.For example, Tom Cruise, whose full name is actually "ThomasCruiseMapotherIV." Translated as Thomas Cruise Mapother IV.

"This is my partner, Tom Thibodeau who works as an assistant coach together... So when we three are together, can I call Big Tom and Little Tom to distinguish?" Yang Rui smiled.

Thomas smiled. Thibodeau has a black line. As an uncle working with young people, there is really a generation gap.

"What team do you work for? Is there a basketball game in Long Beach?" Thomas asked.

"NBA Summer League, why, he didn't tell you to be the Knicks assistant?" Thibodeau looked at the two curiously and answered Yang Rui.

"Summer League?" Thomas was stunned for ten seconds, thinking of what school is called the Knicks, and screamed: "What? You joined the New York Knicks?!"

He shocked the people next to him, and the airport security looked over here.

Thibodeau was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

Yang Rui shrugged somewhat proudly."That's why I dare not tell you on the phone." The Toyota sedan that Thomas drove took two people to the reserved hotel. The grade was average, but it was spacious.

The coach lived in a suite with a large bed and a comfortable sofa. Thomas decided to live directly.

Xibodu squinted his eyes, as if he had discovered something terrible, and was amused.In the United States, GAY is common. Yang Rui was chilled by the back he stared at, so he didn't explain.

Some things cannot be explained, the more they describe, the darker they become.

The players arrived and checked into the hotel. Thomas no longer doubted the authenticity of Yang Rui as the Knicks assistant.

Interestingly, the players came to greet Thibodeau first. I heard that Yang Rui was the head coach this time. The first reaction was dumbfounded.

Chucky Atkins reacted most strongly."Are you kidding? He doesn't seem to be older than my cousin who just went to college."

"It's not a joke. I have the final say on who plays more time, who is the core, and what tactics to play." Yang Rui walked up to Atkins and smiled and said, "So, you better not mess with me."

His tone was amiable and his smile was brilliant, but Atkins felt a great deal of pressure, and he dared not say a word.A madman will only do this if he speaks quickly, but has to bet on his own future.

Yang Rui saw the young Stephen Jackson, his features were still childish, but his body was very strong.

Mickey Moore, with a pigtail, came here wearing a sleeveless sports T-shirt with a snake tattoo on his right arm. Maybe this is the origin of his nickname.

Bruce Bowen, who seems to be loyal and loyal, greets everyone and looks the most friendly.If he hadn't been born again, Yang Rui would have been deceived. In fact, he had a villain's heart.

Only Ben Wallace and Yang Rui had almost the same impression of the one, except that the hairstyle did not explode.His arms are now as thick as many people's heads, with a serious expression and a fierce look.

The players didn't say hello to Big Ben. His face makes people feel unlucky to find someone at first glance. If he doesn't agree with him, he will open up.He does not play basketball to go to the underworld will have a future.

In the afternoon, everyone went to adapt to the venue. There will be another training tomorrow, and the preparation time is very short.

The summer league will not give players time to run in. If the personal ability is not strong, it is really a dream to think of "whether you are not happy before the game".It is precisely because it is difficult for the improvised team to play a tacit understanding, Glenn Walsh is not optimistic about Yang Rui and this team, there is a certain reason.

After running the lap and warming up, Yang Rui asked everyone to mobilize before the war.

He smiled and said: "I know that some people will look at my young age and question my ability. Although I was 23 years old and became the Knicks' first assistant coach, a genius recognized by the management, you are nothing. It’s hard to find people on the margins of basic salary jobs in the NBA, but I can fully understand your ideas."

Everyone had a word in their minds at this moment—Damn!

Thibodeau asked Thomas who followed to see the excitement."Has he always been such an arrogant person?"

Thomas was dumbfounded and shook his head subconsciously."I doubt this is the person I know."

Even if this is a group of fringe players, Thibodeau dare not say that. In case these people do not play well, the team loses streak, the coach is responsible.

Yang Rui doesn't think so, he is taking advantage of the situation to suppress others.A record 23-year-old coach, how do these outsiders know his status in the Knicks?

If it is really a genius recognized by the management and focuses on training objects, it is not easy to pinch them?Yang Rui is already in this position, they dare not believe it.

"So, everyone must listen carefully to what I said, if you want to join the Knicks." Yang Rui suddenly raised his tone after a pause."This summer, you are fighting for an opportunity for yourself. I can give you this opportunity and tell me, do you have goals?"

"Have!"

Yang Rui kept paying attention, and four people spoke with loud voices.The four are Ben Wallace, Jackson, Atkins and Bowen.

Why are so many men with invincible physical qualities unable to play in the NBA?Because the mental attributes of players are equally important.Everyone who left a name in the NBA, except Moore, spoke up."Snake Man" is a weird guy who doesn't like to talk.

The big waves are scouring the sand, and what is left is gold. There are less than 400 people in the world who can play in the NBA every year. This is by no means simple.

Yang Rui asked by name, "Ben Wallace, what is your goal?"

"Become a super defensive player, coach." Big Ben has already put away his contempt for Yang Rui.In the position of a coach, it is enough to be tough. You don't need to be stronger than the players.

Yang Rui asked: "You are very strong, what is the maximum bench press?"

"420 pounds." Big Ben broke out a surprising number, which is about 190 kg.

The current Big Ben is not as perverted as the legends on the Internet in later generations. This number is also scary enough. The upper body strength can rank in the top five in the league. Only strong men such as O'Neill and Dampier are similar to him.

When he was in college, Daben's upper body strength was very strong, so several schools wanted to recruit him to play rugby, but he refused.

"Your goal will be achieved. I think you have both strength and speed. You can defend the pick and roll quickly enough to hold the center forward. You only need to focus on the two aspects of assisting defense and blocking and controlling rebounds. The future may be To be an All-Star, I am very optimistic about you." Yang Rui said sternly.

With a few simple words of encouragement, the tough guy was very excited and shouted: "Yes."

This is what he dreams of.In the past, no matter how hard he tried, no one was optimistic about it. Even if the Wizards signed him, they just regarded him as the last choice for the bench.

"With your height, no matter how strong you are?"

"I have never seen a player worse than you on free throws. If you don't work hard to practice offense, don't want to stay with the Wizards in the future, even if you are a marginal player."

"You really should play rugby, basketball is not for you."

If you are not optimistic, I have listened too much, and after graduating from high school, I dare not want to be a star anymore. I dare not mention it.Now, Yang Rui ignited a fire in Daben's heart, Daben felt that at this moment, it was about to explode!

Sibodu looked at it and knew that Yang Rui had insight into the other's heart and resonated, but he didn't understand how he did it.

Yang Rui walked to the other person."Bruce Bowen, you were very loud just now, what is your goal?"

Bowen was very happy to hear Yang Rui call out his name, but he was not famous.

He excitedly said: "I also want to be a super defensive player."

"The Knicks are known defensively. They can defend and are willing to work hard. They have the best chance of staying. It doesn't matter if you don't score the whole game. Just throw in the open ball. Show your defensive talents this time. Don't worry about the statistics Things you're not good at." Yang Rui gave Bowen advice.

Bowen is older than Yang Rui, but his words made him feel at ease, as if there was a kind of magic.

Before coming, he had been practicing shooting at home, fearing that he would be abandoned due to poor data.Now the coach says it doesn't matter if he doesn't score, he likes that.

Bowen really wants to tell Yang Rui: "If the Knicks coach can be voted, I will definitely vote for you. Tomorrow I want to go back to today through the black hole. For nothing else, I just want to vote again. You have one vote."
