Chapter 1 [Cold Rainy Night]
Chapter 1 [Cold Rainy Night]
There was thunder, and it rained heavily. The sky seemed to be covered with strings of beaded curtains. The night view of New York in the rain was very charming.
Yang Rui, who was drenched in the rain, hurried into an old apartment building in 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 cabin with a maximum size of 8 square meters. There is a two-story iron canopy bed. You have to be careful when you sleep on the upper bunk. with some books and clothes.
On a dilapidated desk next to it, there is only a bread machine and a pot, a few small plates, a bowl, two pairs of chopsticks, and a spoon.
The amazing thing is that this apartment actually has a bathroom. Sitting on the toilet, people's knees can touch the door. The place is so small that people will never gain weight when they move in.
Yang Rui shivered, changed his clothes, wrapped a blanket, and muttered to himself, "I almost froze to death outside... Am I reborn?"
He walked to the door, and there was a small mirror on the door, and in the mirror was an unfamiliar face.
He took pictures for a while, and accepted the reality with surprise.
In his previous life, Yang Rui was 33 years old and graduated from a computer science college. Because he was a member of the basketball school team during school, he knew basketball and sports news. After graduation, he applied for a job as an administrator of a large sports website.
He did a great job and soon became a white-collar worker on a sports website with high wages and relatively leisurely work. He worked there for 12 years. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, he was dressed in New York in June 1997, where a drunk was woken up by the rain.
He didn't even know how he got through it, it was clear that it was broad daylight, and there was no accident.
His last memory is very clear. In the afternoon, he was sitting in the office as usual. The newly purchased Samsung "Never Explode" phone was just fully charged. He called a friend and asked to have dinner together in the evening... Suddenly he was in the United States.
The memory appeared intermittently in his mind, and he came back home with the fused memory.
This person is named Jerry Yang, 23 years old of Chinese descent.The name was given by the dean of the orphanage because he liked watching the cartoon "Tom and Jerry" when he was a child. He laughed very happily when he saw Jerry the mouse.
At the age of 8, Jerry was adopted by a middle-aged Chinese surnamed Yang who lived alone. His adoptive father died of illness at the age of 17. He did not leave much inheritance for the treatment. Working together to get through the day, it was very hard.
Memories are like watching a movie, picture after picture, Yang Rui gradually gets excited.
Not only is he ten years younger, but Jerry actually took coaching classes at the five-star training camp with Thomas' funding.
It's a pity that Jerry spent four months running to hundreds of schools in the United States, no matter whether he applied for the head coach or assistant, he was unsuccessful.
The reality is so cruel, most schools do not give him a chance to perform at all, and the person in charge directly drives him away like a beggar.
Jerry, who had spent all his savings and was exhausted, returned to New York. Last night, he was invited to an insider party. He was depressed to find that all the people who graduated from the training camp during the same period, good or bad, all found jobs.
At the party, Jerry hears a lot of jarring "concerns."
"Don't worry, you need to rest, look for a job with dark circles, how is it like a coach? How can you make a good impression?"
"Of course you won't succeed if you apply for a job in this kind of dress. If you don't know, you think you're going to interview for a cleaner. Listen to me and buy some good clothes first, and then try it on."
"Didn't you do a good job in the restaurant before? What kind of coaching class did you take? I told you a long time ago that no matter what you do, you can't succeed if you don't concentrate."
"Little mouse, I kindly advise you, change careers, stop dreaming, you can't be a basketball coach."
Yang Rui, as a bystander, looked very angry. Is this called persuasion?This is blatant discrimination.
In the future, the Internet will be developed, and many dark things will be invisible. The United States is by no means a paradise.
Jerry's coach has solid basic skills. It is not a problem to arrange player training and offensive and defensive tactics. The fundamental reason why he can't even be a junior high school team coach is racial discrimination.
Take a look at how American cities are divided into residential areas.In addition to being divided by economic status, it is also divided by race, ethnicity, and ancestral origin.
"Chinatown", "Puerto Rican District", "Italian District", "Black District", "Latin District", etc... Each district has its own system, the architectural form is nationally stylized, and both have their mutual welfare organizations, It also has its own underworld and gangs.
Job discrimination is more pronounced.The most typical example is when the United States legally refuses to recognize academic qualifications from many third world countries.In this way, after a large number of doctors and technicians from other countries immigrated to the United States, it was difficult to find a job, so they had to change careers and engage in simple manual labor and auxiliary work.
Blacks and Asians are the most discriminated against in the United States, followed by Latinos. It seems that the degree of discrimination is directly proportional to their skin color. It is too difficult to find a high-level job.
Yang Rui was very unhappy to receive these memories. If it was him, he would definitely fight back, and he would not give these classmates a good look.
Jerry chose to be patient, drank a lot of stuffy wine, left the party drunk, walked a long way, and finally slept on a recliner by the roadside.
Jerry is not a fragile person, on the contrary, his perseverance is amazing, which is why he can get the coveted certificate.But his interview job was bumping into walls everywhere, and his nerves couldn't stand it.
The person who irritated him the most was actually his friend Thomas.
Thomas is amazing. He has been a scholar since childhood. He has been a first-class scholarship winner for 4 years at the Ivy League Columbia University.And he devotes his time, energy and attention to work that pays, never letting go of any opportunity to make money.
Compared to his best friend, Jerry looks like a piece of shit.
Thomas graduated from Columbia University this year and went to work for an internship at a company in Los Angeles, but Jerry had only $[-] left in his pocket, and Thomas rented even the rent for this small dwelling.
Jerry owes the other party too much, because he went out looking for a job, he didn't attend the other party's graduation ceremony, and saw his friend put on the bachelor's hat of Columbia University.
Yang Rui took a deep breath, carefully took out the precious certificate from the drawer of the broken desk, looked and looked, his brows gradually stretched, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Poor guy, let me continue your life, and let me help you realize your dreams!"
Yang Rui is very willing to become a basketball coach, making money is secondary, the important thing is to pretend to be a B, and it is also related to his previous work, which can prove that he did not live in vain in his previous life.
What about starting from scratch?He's from the future, he knows a lot of things, and he knows the future of the NBA with an unparalleled vision.It's not a problem if no one wants to be in school, there are ready opportunities nearby, and Jerry hasn't interviewed for an NBA team yet.
As long as Yang Rui is involved in the team's signings, he can make up a team of potential stars and give him a coaching opportunity, and he will definitely become a qualified coach.
No, should be the best basketball coach ever!
