Chapter 12 [Welfare of Travelers]
Chapter 12 [Welfare of Travelers]
Xibodu carefully arranged his tactics and wanted to prove that he was better than Yang Rui in coaching.
The opponent is only 23 years old. If he loses, it will really be... Thibodeau thought for a minute, but couldn't figure out what English to use to describe the feeling of losing.In Chinese, it can be described as "the dog is here".
After the game started, Xibodu sadly found that the two sides were not on the same level at all, and the situation was one-sided.
Yang Rui led the red team to attack the white team, and the white team to defend was at a loss. Thibodu watched from the sidelines and wanted to cry.
The worst performer was Whites center Andy Luke.He has been in the minor leagues of the United States. He is 214cm tall and weighs 110kg. He seems to have a great advantage, so Thibodeau arranged for him to lob the ball to attack the basket from the outside.
As a result, Luke was held outside the penalty area by Ben Wallace, who was in his early two meters. He couldn't hit the basket at all. He turned and shot far away from the basket and missed continuously.
Offense on the outside, the white team defender can't easily surpass others. After the pick-and-roll, Moore's defense is very fast, not like the inside at all.After finally passing it once, it may also be blocked by Wallace who is on defense.
No one kept a score, but Thibodeau knew that the red team had a lead of more than 20 points in a quarter. The offensive end was very layered, and Da Ben grabbed several offensive rebounds.
Yang Rui knew how to save face for his own people, so he offered to make substitutions and used players whose names he did not know.The seven people selected by Thibodeau were not without merit.
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 is 193cm tall and flows on the floor. He is at a disadvantage in playing No. 2 speed and confrontation.Without screen play, it is difficult for him to escape the defense by running.
In addition, there are three black players with outstanding physical fitness. They have strong running and jumping ability, their shooting is not stable enough, and their ball quotient is obviously low.
This kind of person is very powerful in the street court, and it is difficult to play in the NBA.You know, Alston, who is known as the "Street Ball King" in New York, was selected in the second round of the NBA.
Of course, summer league can't play tacit tactics, they are useful.
Thibodeau thinks that the promising center Luke, Yang Rui completely dislikes it, he knows that this kind of standing center who has no speed and can't shoot will soon be eliminated by the times.On the defensive end, you can leave him on the perimeter, and on the offensive end a pick-and-roll, if he can't defend, if he encounters a defender who has shooting ability and is good at breaking through, he can easily brush 30+.
After the first training, Yang Rui decided on the starting lineup, which was the "Five Stars of Summer" he chose.
After the match, Thibodeau was completely convinced, and realized that his selection vision was scum compared to Yang Rui. Even if Yang Rui was not a coach and became a scout, he might be able to do well in his career.
When leaving the arena, Yang Rui asked, "Big Tom, what do you think? Are you full of confidence in our preseason victory?"
Thibodeau smiled awkwardly: "If you cooperate well, maybe it will work... Will you reuse Brad? His three-pointers are very accurate."
"Certainly, he can play a big role in summer league, but you also know what defensive intensity the NBA is, and he shouldn't stay in the Knicks."
"Hey." Thibodeau sighed, not for Brad, but for himself.He chose seven people, but none of them seemed to be reliable.
Even if he were killed, he would never have thought that in this summer league, there are no reliable players from other teams, and the most potential players are already in their team.
It is the welfare of the traversers to choose people without eye-catching.
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, doubting that he had no talent to be a coach at all, otherwise how could he explain that he was crushed by a 23-year-old led by a team?
The two casually found a steak restaurant. Eating is secondary, and chatting is the purpose. The two have not seen each other for more than three months.
After ordering, Thomas began to ask questions. After 10 minutes, he completely believed that Yang Rui was a good buddy who grew up together, because the questions he asked were all private, and no one else could answer them.
"You've changed! You've changed so much! I can't believe it." Thomas had a smile on his face. He had always been worried about Jerry's future, and now he had a big worry.
"I think it was the coaching certificate that gave me the confidence. I started to believe that I was a genius and not a waste." Yang Rui replied vaguely. He knew the contrast was great, but he didn't want to make him pretend to be Jerry before. I can't do it either. If you have that ability, you might as well go to Hollywood.
"As a teaching assistant, how much is the annual salary?"
"15 before tax." Yang Rui answered lightly.
"You're too calm, aren't you? As an analyst on Wall Street, unless you're very powerful, your annual salary won't be 15. Your annual salary is now equivalent to five New York police officers." Thomas smiled: "I'm really proud of you. ."
"I believe that you will also make a lot of money in the future. If you study finance, you will definitely invest in stocks, right? Is that kind of job as an analyst?"
"Yeah. You want to invest?" Thomas asked.
"Well, invest if you have money. I don't usually spend much money. When you go back to New York, you can use the other money to invest in stocks except for accommodation and meals."
"Aren't you afraid that I will lose?" Thomas said with a smile, his expression not looking like he would lose, this is his area of expertise.
Yang Rui teased: "You are a top student in Colombia. Since I have known you, you have almost all scored full marks in your exams. I have always wondered how your brain grows. Will you pay?"
Thomas is ambitious. "Then leave it to me, I promise not to let you lose money."
In fact, Yang Rui did not completely trust Thomas, but understood the US economic situation. In his previous life, stocks rose very well in the past few years. Even the Asian financial crisis in 1998, the US economy was not affected.
It wasn't until the dot-com bubble burst in 2000 that the U.S. stock market took a big turn. Later, the 911/[-] incident made Americans feel terrified for a long time, and they were afraid of terrorist attacks.
If he uses the 911/[-] incident to buy short stock index futures, Yang Rui can also make a lot of money, as long as he is not afraid of being investigated by the FBI.
He does not think that the effect caused by his little butterfly can affect the US economy, so many things will happen. He is not worried that Thomas will lose money in stocks, and will only increase more and more speculation.
"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 cut the steak skillfully, yearning to become the wolf of Wall Street.
"Just doubled? Are your ambitions too small? I have a hunch that we will be very rich in the future, like the top 100 in the world." Yang Rui laughed.
"How about a dream? How much money would you make if you were the best coach in the NBA? Even the No. [-] star Jordan wouldn't rank on the Forbes list."
"Let's see."
