Korean entertainment, I am crazy
Chapter 1648 Hehe! Man!
In the evening, Archer received a call from his father Andy Strachan, telling him that he had been fired from the basketball team and that he would receive an official notice tomorrow.
Archer was dumbfounded."Dad, what are you talking about? Didn't I sign the contract?"
"Because you discriminated against a Chinese racially, the contract was invalidated, and there was no penalty, you idiot!"
"You mean Jerry? Are you kidding me?" Archer asked loudly.
"You can check it out on the Internet yourself, and you will use the Internet more in the future, lest the person you look down on is much stronger than you, you don't know." Andy finished speaking aloud and hung up the phone.
He felt that his son was hopeless, and he had spent a lot of effort to obtain the qualification at the age of 31. What is there to be proud of?
USC University did not give them any face to their father and son, joking, discredited the school and want liquidated damages?
Archer has an arrogant personality, always speaks with yin and yang, and often sarcasms a few words to his friends.Therefore, the people who attended the party confirmed Yang Rui's identity last night, but no one persuaded him to apologize, and he has waited until now that it is irreparable.
It's nothing to do, hang up high.Most people will hide in the dark and watch the excitement, unless someone close to them has an accident.
Those who have also ridiculed Yang Rui are too late to hide now. How can they be on the same front as Archer?
Archer was dumbfounded when he checked the news on the Internet. It turned out that the person he despised was really the Knicks assistant coach and the first assistant coach. Compared with his university assistant, the gap was too big.And he also scolded the Knicks management, it was just a trick.
The gap between the two is not only in annual salary, but also in status and future.
Working for the Knicks makes it easy to accumulate contacts and meet some big people.As a coach in school, I hope at most that he can be an NBA star.
If the NBA assistants do well, they are likely to become head coaches in the future.Yang Rui is only 23 years old. As long as he is not particularly bad, the chances of becoming a head coach are too great.It's too late for this kind of person in the coaching circle to flatter him. How can there be sarcasm and proactive benevolence?
Things are more troublesome than Archer thought.Yang Rui is not an ordinary coach. He is a Chinese American and the only Chinese coach in the NBA in the world.
The well-documented incidents of racial discrimination have had a very bad impact in the United States. Many Chinese protested, even bringing the British to shame.
Archer saw the video on the Internet and saw his ugly attitude. He hated Yang Rui. He immediately picked up the phone and wanted to call Yang Rui. He pressed a few numbers and then put it down.
What can you say on the phone now?Isn't this self-inflicted?
Shouting, can't get him back to work.Threatening Yang Rui, the matter is even bigger.On the Internet, Yang Rui can sue him at any time and ask for mental damage. Can he win the lawsuit?
He was scared and couldn't muster the courage to contact Yang Rui.
He found that he didn't know this person, and he didn't expect the other party to be so cunning, bringing a camera into the party.If he doesn't know how to come up again, I am afraid it will be even worse.
Unbeknownst to Archer, the five-star club is preparing to send an application to the Coach Association to cancel his basketball coaching qualifications. The worst has happened.
The next day, Thomas Bentley saw the morning news, his eyes were fierce, and he had no intention of reconciliation."Jerry, are you planning to sue that guy? If you have a video to testify, you will definitely win. I can find a lawyer for you."
"It's too much trouble, I didn't hate it enough to sue him, let him go to his own fate." Yang Rui was not interested in killing everything. It is better to do less.
Losing his job and being unable to become a coach anymore, Archiel has paid the price.
Seeing Thomas still look unhappy, Yang Rui turned the subject away: "How about finding a new apartment first? It's too crowded here."
"Okay, when?"
"I went to see it today. My colleague recommended a suitable apartment." Yang Rui has contacts and management members live in New York. Recommending an apartment is a trivial matter.
After calling Scott Maguire, the two successfully saw the landlord and looked at the two-bedroom apartment, not far from the arena.
Both of them were very satisfied, signed the contract immediately and paid a year's rent.
After discussing, the two added a lot of new furniture, bought a TV and put them in the living room. Two black sofa chairs were placed facing the TV, and there were two large beds, desks, and cabinets.
Thomas likes the TV series "Friends". The room is completely based on the apartment of Chandler and Joey in the second season. Yang Rui agrees with the proposal of the second illness. He also likes this American show.
After moving into a new apartment, Thomas also found a job on Wall Street and got busy.
Because of the interview, the entire United States knew about Yang Rui, but the NBA entered the offseason. Before he made any results, the big media were not interested in interviewing him, and they didn't want to over-ferment the discrimination.
So Yang Rui was very leisurely and began to enjoy the holiday, waiting for the start of the team training camp in September.The coach is more comfortable than the players, and there is no need to train hard during the holidays, and there is no need to worry about decline in form.
The Knicks management is still at work. They called all the five Knicks in the summer league and signed preseason training camp contracts with Bowen, Moore, Ben Wallace and Jackson. They will play for the Knicks in October. Preseason.
Ernie admired Atkins' offensive talents and directly signed a two-year contract with full guarantee for the first year and a team option for the second year.
Chris Childs and Charlie Ward are not very capable of breaking through, and can be used on defense. If someone needs to strengthen the offense in the second quarter, Atkins, a short guard, is useful.
The Knicks currently have ten people on contract, and it is not impossible that all five of the summer league players will stay.For this reason, they all seek special training in places to strive to become stronger.
The Wizards wanted to abandon Wallace. His performance in the summer league was too eye-catching. Manager Jena Conley contacted him again to sign directly.
"Ben, you performed very well in the summer league. We are willing to provide a basic salary. If you practice shooting more in the summer and enhance your offensive ability, you will become a member of the rotation."
A basic salary is what Big Ben pursues. If he hadn't met Yang Rui, he would definitely agree to the Wizards directly.After hearing the call this time, he was silent.
Daben remembered what Yang Rui had said to him.
"Strength and defense are your weapons. The first thing you have to strengthen is these, without considering offense."
"Defensively, as long as you can defend well, you won't get any points. If I'm the coach, I will let you start."
"Ben, I think your height is an advantage. If you grow to 215CM, you can't attack and lack mobility, such a player is really useless."
"The goal is too low, I am optimistic about you becoming an All-Star."
If I sign the Wizards, I might only be a marginal player, but joining the Knicks, will I be a stable rotation player?Jerry will definitely propose to reuse me.
In the summer league, Big Ben was addicted to blocking shots and rebounding. Even in the NBA, he was confident to do a good job.
After thinking about it, he took a deep breath and said slowly: "I'm sorry, I refuse."
Jenner asked incredulously, "Why? Did someone offer you a better contract?"
"No, but my goal is to join the Knicks."
Jenner knew there was no way to talk, the other side had lost interest in the Wizards.He regrets a bit, and should be decisive in summer.After only a week off, Yang Rui began to feel empty.
There are too few things to play in this era. He has watched classic movies and TV series. With the vision that he is accustomed to watching future blockbusters, he looks at these things now, even if the box office hit "Independence Day" and "Man in Black" ", it's not a great thing.
It makes no sense to buy a game console. I am used to playing advanced games of later generations. The current PS1...the picture is so beautiful that he dare not look at it.
He gave the deposit to Thomas to invest in stocks. Thomas fancyed the IT industry and technology stocks. The choice was very accurate, so he didn't need to worry about it.
In the end, his only pleasure is to eat.
In the previous life, Yang Rui could cook, and his parents had to go early, so he had to rely on himself; Jerry could also, mainly western food.Now after he was reborn, he has combined Chinese and Western, but he is far from professional, and the food he cooks is relatively poor, which is called dark cuisine.
Therefore, Yang Rui spends most of his time eating out, and the "Aftertaste Snack Bar" where he worked before has become his first choice.The food is delicious and the price is reasonable. This shop has a lot of repeat customers.
"Brother Yang, are you here?" The waiter Xiao Xiao greeted Yang Rui excitedly when he saw Yang Rui.The two have a good relationship. They have worked together before, and Yang Rui chats with her the most in the store.
"Hi, long time no see."
"There is no seat, don't worry, I'll call the boss." Xiao Xiao smiled and said: "The boss has ordered you to notify him when you come again."
"Uh……"
Ten minutes later, a short old man in his forties came to the shop, his hair was sparsely combed to one side, and he was the owner of the snack bar.
He didn't speak easily. He spoke in Cantonese. He didn't take Yang Rui seriously before. This time he introduced himself excitedly and his name was Li Qi.
Li Qi said: "You become the Knicks coach. I am so proud of you. Our Chinese finally became a star."
"I worked here before, thank you for taking care of it." Yang Rui smiled.
"I'm embarrassed if you say that. I knew you were so good. I must have processed money for you at that time." Li Qi smiled.
After chatting for a while, a guest finally left. Li Qi gave Yang Rui a membership card, which would offer a 20% discount for future visits and reserve seats.
Yang Rui sat by the window and ordered the "black sesame paste", an ancestral flavor in the store.
This special snack is said to be energizing and aphrodisiac, tastes good, sweet and delicious.It's a pity that this black sesame paste sells a little bit differently. It's thicker than a pot of sugar water that poisoned Qi's thirteen mouths with a pound of arsenic, so besides Yang Rui, it seemed that no one was in favor.
He was waiting for the sesame paste to cool down, and a girl smelt it over."Excuse me, what is this?"
"Black sesame paste." Yang Rui replied in Chinese, not knowing what it was called in English.
He looked up and was stunned.
This is a girl in her early ten years old. She is not tall, with dark blonde hair, a popular braided head on both sides, green eyes and pupils, a little buck teeth, high cheekbones, and a sharp cheekbone, with a sharp chin and a typical awl face. .
This face is very young, not a beauty, but Yang Rui is very excited because her name is Scarlett Johansson.
After rebirth, Yang Rui especially hopes to meet a few celebrities in the entertainment industry, but unfortunately, he was a little bit lucky. He didn't see one before, and finally ran into one today.
Scarlett smiled and asked in English: "I've been to this store several times. I haven't seen this before. How does it taste?"
"This is new, it's a bit hot...so I haven't moved...you can taste it first, and order it if you like." Yang Rui squatted in English.
He despised himself a little bit in his heart. Now Scarlett is less than thirteen years old and not a big star. He is not nervous when facing a group of big NBA celebrities, but he has a short tongue in front of a little girl, which is embarrassing.
Probably this man’s play is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. He seems to have seen the young "black widow", who can take out a gun at any time to shoot randomly, jump up and clamp people in his legs... In the future, countless fans will fall in love with her good "cheating" Up her.
Scarlett took a small spoon, tasted two, and smiled with two rows of white teeth."It tastes so good, I want to order this. That... can I sit with you?"
There are a lot of guests at the moment, and you have to put together tables no matter where you sit.
"Of course, Miss Johnson." Yang Rui smiled and stood up to help her move her chair, feeling that she could take this opportunity to meet celebrity friends.
"Do you know me?" Scarlett was taken aback.
"I've watched "Home Alone 3" and you played that little devil's sister." Yang Rui responded.
"Ah? You can remember my name in that kind of little role? You are in the entertainment industry? Chinese actor? I don't remember meeting you." Scarlett asked several questions in one breath.
"I like movies. I'm not a person in the entertainment industry. Although you played a supporting role, I just remembered it, maybe it's an eyeball, so I was surprised to see you just now."
"Haha, don't you think I'm very attractive?" Scarlett smiled and showed her back teeth.
The goddess is a little girl now, but Yang Rui doesn't hate it at all."I think you will become famous in the future, even though "Home Alone 3" is a bad movie."
His prediction is absolutely accurate, and everyone would like to listen to it.
Scarlett laughed a few times and sighed again."It's a pity that not everyone likes me. I failed in the audition for "Nature Couple" before. Do you know this movie?"
Yang Rui thought for a while and nodded: "Is it a movie adapted from "Two Little Lots"? There was a version before, and I heard that I want to make a new one."
"Yes, that's the one... It seems you really like movies." Scarlett said in surprise.She just found a place to sit, but she didn't expect someone to recognize her and still chat.
"You didn't get a role, it must have nothing to do with acting. The protagonist of the script is a child? You look too big. If I were a director, I would definitely find a kid, even if the acting is worse than yours."
"You're not a certain member of the crew. You came here to wait for me on purpose? Wait, the interview is in Los Angeles." Scarlett held his chin in her right hand and stared at him blankly.
This is the reason why she was not selected. Her face does not look big, but her height is already 1.5 meters. More importantly, her breasts already have a shape. She is one of the girls who developed early. Acting as a little girl?Unless you grew up eating April fat.
"Aside from the movie, we must meet for the first time." Yang Rui said, tasting the sesame paste.
Scarlett looked at him: "But I see you very familiar, you must have seen it somewhere. What do you do? Have you been on TV?"
"I'm Jerry Young, assistant coach of the New York Knicks. You can call me Jerry."
"Ah, I see. I watched your news interview. You brought a camera to the party and took a lot of things." Scarlett opened her mouth in surprise.
"Well, that's me." Yang Rui smiled.
"You are an interesting person."
Soon, another black sesame paste came up, and Scarlett ordered other desserts, which Yang Rui thought was very interesting.
In his previous life, he had never heard of Scarlett being able to eat a cake as a meal. Big-name celebrities attach great importance to their figure and would never eat as they please.
He soon figured it out, it doesn't matter now, Scarlett is not famous yet.
