Chapter 1653 Terrible Full Grace
Yang Rui continued to ask: "Stephen Jackson graduated from high school to participate in the draft. The Suns suspected that you have a triad background, so they gave up signing. What is your goal?"
"Of course it is to play the NBA and become a star. Those on the Suns have brain problems. I can't ignore those brothers who have been for many years just to play basketball, right?" Jackson did not deny that he knew the underworld, and would rather be suspected than lie.
People with this kind of character are easy to suffer, but they are not annoying because of his "reality".
"You are loyal. You must treat your teammates as brothers on the basketball court and advance and retreat together. One thing I agree with is that the people in the sun have brain problems, and the shortcomings they identify are your strengths. As long as you can impress me with your skills, I will be strong. Make sure you play the preseason for the Knicks and try to get a contract for you."
"Really?" It was an 18-year-old after all, Jackson was overjoyed, watching Jerry's eyes shine.Nothing touches people's hearts more than actual benefits.
"Of course it's true, do you have an agent? Don't forget to pay me a commission after the incident." Yang Rui patted Jackson on the back."Good health, play well."
Then, Yang Rui walked to the shortest player in the team, even the shortest, he was almost as tall as him.
"Chucky Atkins, I don't seem to be older than your cousin, but your cousin definitely has no chance to stand here and talk like me, right?" Yang Rui smiled.
The aura he showed had already stopped the players.Atkins does not doubt that this is a talented coach signed by the Knicks, who can determine his fate.
"Coach, I'm sorry for what I said before, but you look really young." Atkins said hehe.
"Yeah, so I think you are very honest, what is your goal?"
"Become an NBA player." Atkins answered cautiously, for fear of saying something wrong.
"What is your specialty?"
"I'm fast, break through, and shoot very well, but many people think I'm too short and poor in confrontation." Atkins sighed, feeling unrequited.
"Boggs is shorter and thinner than you. He was the captain of the United States. If you can become a good system player, break through when it's time to burst, attract double-teams or make a transfer after a big man changes defense, you will definitely be in The NBA has a firm foothold."
"Thank you." Atkins felt more comfortable, and the coach seemed to be optimistic about him.
"How about you three points?"
"I'm pretty sure of the open three-pointer." Atkins straightened his chest proudly.
"We will try our best to show the match in a while. We don't have much time, so we will have two training sessions and we will have the game tomorrow. You have to complete the run-in within a limited time. As long as you have enough three points, I will let you start."
Yang Rui finally walked to Mickey Moore, pointed at him and said, "You get out."
"Uh……"
"Very unexpected? I know you didn't say a word just now, so I didn't ask the target. I'm going to fight the match. There must be a big guy on my side, so it's you. There are also four people in the queue just now, everyone wearing red and white vests, grouping The confrontation will begin for a while," Yang Rui said loudly.
He turned his head again: "Big Tom, you take seven people, I take five, how about a contest?"
Thibodeau asked curiously: "You thought about doing this a long time ago? You didn't like the players I chose from the beginning. Can you tell me why?"
"It's very simple. Through data analysis, I choose people with strong mental attributes, reluctant to lose, and passion. Except for Moore, because the data shows that he can shoot, my tactics need a big man who can open up space, like Ewing like that."
Of course Thibodeau didn't believe it. He had seen the information given by the scout, what could he analyze?Obviously it is blind!
"Even if they are very passionate, it doesn't mean they can win." Thibodeau doesn't believe that he will lose to the junior. He has seven people under him and chooses more.
"Let’s talk about tactics, how about it in five minutes?"
"no problem."
The two teams are on both sides of the court, playing like a formal game.
Of course Thomas followed Yang Rui and was a quiet beautiful man on the sidelines.
The more he watched, the more frightened he became. This was definitely not the introverted inferiority complex he was familiar with, and Jerry, who was not good at talking to the outside world, had changed his personality too much!
Asking what has changed in the world makes people blind.
The contrast between Jerry's front and back was so great that he reminded him of the movie "Change Face" that was released at the end of June.He has to admit that this is a good change. It was difficult for Jerry to find a job before, and it was difficult to mix well in any circle.
Yang Rui took the tactical board and drew a few quickly, and said to the players in a circle: "The offensive tactics are very simple. Chucky takes the ball to the frontcourt and passes it to Stephen to pull it away. Stephen holds the ball in the middle and sees the opportunity to split the ball. Teammates who get rid of outside the three-point line, if their opponents are weak, can be singled out."
"Wait, coach, am I not a point guard? Why is he responsible for the ball and organization?" Atkins couldn't help but questioned.
"Have you forgotten what you said? Your specialty is fast. You are good at breaking through and shooting. Passing is not a specialty. Are you really a point guard?"
"..." Atkins covered his face with one hand, he was really bad at passing.
"Puff." A man couldn't help laughing. He was the most serious Ben Wallace. It was uglier to laugh than to cry, and everyone felt like a chill.
Yang Rui continued: "Stephen, don't play around, choose your shot better. This is a test. If you play preseason games for the Knicks in the future, Van Gundy's requirements will be stricter. If you make a long shot, you will lose the opportunity to stay on the team, understand? The first thing you have to consider is the team, unless there is an open position or facing a much shorter player before taking action."
"Understood." Jackson knew that Yang Rui was doing him well, and the Knicks had many stars. How could he be a player?
Yang Rui added: "Bruce stands on the bottom line on the right. The offensive end does not need to move. If there is an open position, he will shoot. If there is no open space to attract defense, is there a problem?"
"No." Bowen was trying to hide his clumsiness and couldn't ask for it.
"Mickey gave Chucky a ball-free screen from the outside. After helping him get rid of the defender, Chucky ran along the three-point line. Stephen scored the ball. If the inside line changes slowly, you will shoot directly when you catch the ball, proving your three-point ability. If the opponent changes the defense quickly and assigns to Mickey, this is a misplaced opportunity. Mickey can make a mid-range shot or an air cut. The offensive end is active in the low positions on both sides, grab the offensive rebound, and show your strength! Grab the offensive rebound and distribute it to your teammates. Someone around you don’t want to attack again. I don’t want to see you free throws, OK?"
"OK!" Big Ben nodded embarrassingly. Last season he was hopelessly bad at free throws for the Wizards.
"The offensive tactics are as simple as that. Looking for dislocation opportunities, I will emphasize, don't fight indiscriminately!" Yang Rui believes that this is a tactic tailored for them, allowing everyone to use their strengths and not do what they are not good at.
"The defensive tactics are simpler, man-to-man, play center, defend the penalty area, control backboard rebounds, Mickey must change defense guards quickly, don't let them easily break through, see who the opponent has strong breakthrough ability, Bruce's peripheral focus Take care of him. I won’t blame you for Chaki’s breakthrough and getting kicked in. Okay, everyone is ready to go!” Thibodeau carefully arranged tactics and wanted to prove that he was better than Yang Rui in coaching. This has nothing to do with personality, just Unwilling to lose.
The opponent is only 23 years old. If he loses, it really is... Thibodeau thought for a minute and didn't figure out what English to describe the mood of losing.In Chinese, it can be described as "a dog is gone."
After the game started, Xibodu sadly discovered that the two sides were not at the same level at all, and the situation was one-sided.
Yang Rui's red team attacked the white team and the white team was at a loss. Thibodeau watched from the sidelines without tears.
The worst performance was White team center Andy Luke.He mixed in the minor leagues of the United States, with a height of 214cm and a weight of 110kg. It seemed that he had a great advantage, so Thibodeau arranged for him to lob a shot from outside to attack the basket.
As a result, Luke was resisted by Ben Wallace, who was in his early two meters, outside the penalty area. He couldn't hit the basket at all. He turned and shot far away from the basket and missed continuously.
Outside offensive, the white team's guards can't be easy, and Moore changes defense very fast after the pick and roll, which is not like inside.After finally passing it once, he might be blocked by Wallace who was defending.
No one scored, but Thibodeau knew that the red team led by more than 20 points in one quarter. The offensive end has a sense of hierarchy. Big Ben grabbed several offensive rebounds.
Yang Rui knew to save face for his own people and offered to substitute players, using players whose names he didn't know.The seven people selected by Thibodeau are not all good.
The white player Brad Jones has a good shooting touch, and his three-point ability is better than Atkins. Unfortunately, his physical fitness is too poor. He has a floor flow of 193cm, playing No. 2 speed and has suffered a lot from confrontation.Without screen tactics, it is difficult for him to get out of defense by running.
In addition, there are three black players with outstanding physical fitness. They have strong running and jumping ability. They are not stable enough to shoot. The ball quotient is obviously low. They don't find teammates to play and rely solely on singles.
This kind of person is very prestigious on the street court, it is difficult to play the NBA.You know, Alstom, who is known as the "street king" in New York, was selected in the second round of the NBA. After years of training, he got out of his position after fixing a lot of bad problems. The pinnacle is a role player.
Of course, the summer league can not play tacit tactics, they are effective.
Thibodeau believes that the promising center Luke, Yang Rui is completely despised, he knows that this kind of speedless, can not shoot the standing center will soon be eliminated by the times.On the defensive end, he can put him on the perimeter and a pick-and-roll on the offensive end. If he can't defend, he can easily reach 30+ when he encounters a defender who has shooting ability and is good at breaking through.
After the first training, Yang Rui determined the starting lineup, which was the "Summer Five Lucky Stars" he chose.
After the match, Thibodeau was completely convinced and realized that his picking vision was scumbag compared to Yang Rui. Even if Yang Rui was not a coach, he might be a good scout.
When leaving the arena, Yang Rui asked, "Big Tom, what do you think? Are you confident in our preseason victory?"
Thibodeau smiled awkwardly: "If you cooperate well, maybe it can be done... Will you reuse Brad? His three-pointers are accurate."
"Of course, he can play a big role in the summer league, but you also know what defensive strength is in the NBA, he should not be able to stay in the Knicks."
"Hey." Thibodeau sighed, not for Brad, but for himself.He chose seven people, but none of them seemed reliable.
He would not have thought of killing him. In this summer league, there are no reliable players from other teams, and the most potential players are already in their team.
Choosing people without scoring is the welfare of those who pass through.
In the evening, Yang Rui and Thomas left the hotel for dinner. Thibodeau was stimulated and refused to go with him. He stayed in his room to heal.He began to doubt his life, suspected that he had no talent for coaching at all, otherwise how could he explain that he was run down by a 23-year-old man?
The two randomly found a steak restaurant, eating was secondary, chatting was the purpose, and they had not seen each other for more than three months.
After ordering, Thomas began to ask questions. Ten minutes later, he completely believed that Yang Rui was a good buddy who grew up with him, because he asked about privacy, and he couldn't answer for him.
"You have changed! You have changed too much! I can't believe it." Thomas smiled, he was always worried about Jerry's future, and now he has a big deal.
"I think it was the coaching certificate that gave me confidence. I began to believe that I was a genius and not a waste." Yang Rui replied vaguely. He knew the contrast was great, but asked him to act like Jerry before. He didn't want to do it. I can't do it. If you have that ability, it is better to go to Hollywood.
"As an assistant, what's the annual salary?"
"150,000 before tax." Yang Rui replied lightly.
"You are too calm, too? As an analyst on Wall Street, unless you are very good, you will not have an annual salary of 150,000. Your annual salary is equivalent to five New York police officers." Thomas laughed: "I am so proud of you ."
"I believe you will also make a lot of money in the future. If you study finance, you will definitely be able to trade stocks, right? Is an analyst that kind of job?"
"Yes. Do you want to invest?" Thomas asked.
"Well, you can invest if you have money. I usually don't spend much money. When you return to New York, you can use all other money for stocks except accommodation and meals."
"Aren't you afraid that I will lose?" Thomas said with a smile, his expression is not like he would lose. This is his area of expertise.
Yang Rui ridiculed: "You are a top student in Colombia. Since I met you, you almost got full marks in the exam. I have always wondered how your brain grows and you will lose?"
Thomas is ambitious."Then leave it to me, I promise you won't lose money."
In fact, Yang Rui does not trust Thomas completely, but understands the US economy. In his previous life, stocks have risen very well in the past few years. Even the Asian financial crisis in 1998 did not affect the US economy.
It wasn't until the Internet bubble burst in 2000 that the U.S. stock market took a big turn. Later, the 9/11 incident caused Americans to be agitated for a long time. They were afraid of terrorist attacks. In those few years, the stock market was in a slump.
If you use the 9/11 incident to buy stock index futures and go short, Yang Rui can also make a fortune, as long as you are not afraid of being investigated by the FBI.
He doesn't think that the effect caused by his little butterfly can affect the US economy, so many things will happen. He doesn't worry about Thomas losing money in stocks, only the more he speculates.
"When I have a certain amount of capital, I will open an investment company. As long as you give me the money, I promise to double it every year." Thomas expertly cuts steaks, yearning to become the wolf of Wall Street.
"Just doubled? Your ambition is too small, right? I have a hunch that we will be very rich in the future, one of the top 100 in the world." Yang Rui smiled.
"Dreaming? How much money can you make even if you are the best coach in the NBA? Even if the number one star Jordan is not on the Forbes list."
"Let's wait and see."
