Li Xin and Zhuo Yifan fell asleep in Philadelphia, USA, and it was morning in Shanghai, China.

Zhou Junyi just got up at home, and after watching the CHBL South Region Finals yesterday, with the help of everyone, the home was cleaned up. Looking at the empty big room, Zhou Junyi yawned a lot, suddenly sounded the message of the mobile phone, tossed several times, and finally found the mobile phone under the cushions of the sofa.

The message was sent by Li Xiaolong: "Xiao Zhou, come to school at noon, I have questions about the renewal of the contract for the next year!" ”

"Renew!? Hehe! Zhou Junyi smiled, Li Xin and others have graduated one after another, and now Siyuan Middle School only leaves a class of newcomers as the base, and I haven't heard any important reinforcements this year. I'm afraid that there are no outstanding players among the newcomers, and potential newcomers like Li Xin and Zhuo Yifan are not available every year.

What's more, with a salary of 4,000 yuan in a magic city like Shanghai, he can't support himself at all, different from ordinary physical education teachers, Zhou Junyi, as a specially hired basketball coach of the school, is not only required to report to the school at 17~21 o'clock in the afternoon every day to complete the training work, so that Zhou Junyi has more to do other work during the day. I'm afraid that this 4,000 yuan job will starve to death for a long time, and the daytime work includes going to the outfield of the Wantine Pavilion as an administrator, although it is not a very high job, only about 3,500 yuan, but at least it is his interest, he can continue to find potential basketball newcomers, and being a Bole is something he likes to do very much, such as meeting Li Xin and them.

However, the construction of professional basketball venues in various parts of Shanghai has been completed recently, and the basketball courts in the outfield of the Wantiguan seem to be somewhat old. There are fewer and fewer people coming to play, especially high-level players, and it is not as good as year by year. I heard that a new Rock Basketball Park is being built in the Expo Park, with a strong streetball atmosphere, all kinds of graffiti on the wall have been faintly visible, this will be the sixth Rock Basketball Park in Shanghai, and it will also be the best Rock Park. Think of the streetball mecca of Frederick, New York, where Rock Park has produced many receivers who later entered the NBA, such as former Rockets guard Rafal. Alston, former Pacers guard Jamal A. Tinsley.

And how many NBA stars have left their footprints here.

Although I have never been to Rock Park in the United States, the legend of Rock Park Zhou Junyi has heard a lot:

RBK's "Bone Collector" Williams used his blazing speed to shake off defenders multiple times, he tricked defenders into staggering with a cross-dribble between his legs, and his behind-the-back passes were as precise as eyes in his back, causing fans to scream in desperation......

How many fans have gone crazy with the matchup between "The Bone Collectors" and Jamal Tinsley, Larry Hughes, Byron Davis, and Stephen Marbury. These well-known stars in the NBA were eaten by him one by one here. even threatened to challenge Iverson and himself for $50,000, but Iverson didn't dare to accept it.

The Rock Basketball Park in the Expo Park is now also recruiting administrators, and the salary is also very good, 5,500 yuan for lunch! Working hours are from nine a.m. to three p.m., with one day off per week. Zhou Junyi was a little moved, although he often wrote articles for the columns of basketball magazines, but the mortgage of the house he just bought was also a large monthly expense, which made him a little tight on hand.

Since Director Li called over, let's go to the school and have a look! At the gate of the school, Zhou Junyi saw Li Xiaolong and stepped forward to say hello:

"Director Li, what are you looking for me to come over?"

"Isn't this a question of the school's renewal for the new year?"

"What do they say?"

"I haven't talked about it yet, but I probably heard some rumors that the team's record is not good, and the new school year will continue to increase funding!"

"I don't want to increase the allocation, but I want the team's performance to improve, Coach Li, to be honest, we have made a lot of sacrifices!" Zhou Junyi was a little angry when he heard Li Xiaolong say this, and Li Xiaolong hurriedly persuaded Zhou Junyi:

"If you have anything to say, go up and talk about it! Let's not speculate here. Zhou Junyi nodded, and the two went to the physical education office together.

Mr. Zhao, the former director of physical education, left the school, and was replaced by the teacher surnamed Lou last year. Teacher Lou is white and chubby, with little hair on his head, and has been nicknamed "Lou Baibai" among the students, who is about 45 years old.

Seeing the arrival of Li Xiaolong and Zhou Junyi, he raised his head and said politely: "Yo, Director Li, Xiao Zhou is here, sit first!" But the fat body still sat on the wide chair and didn't bother to get up.

"Director Lou called us, I heard that it was about the signing of the basketball team coach for the next school year? What exactly?" Li Xiaolong asked first.

"Hey~~!" "Lou Baibai" didn't open his mouth yet, but first sighed deeply.

"Coach Li, you don't know the current situation in the school, the basketball team did not perform well last year, and the team funds could not be increased, and the volleyball team had good results last year, reaching the top 32 in the country, and the badminton team, which also won the second place in Shanghai. The leaders above have the knowledge to cut 20% of the basketball team's expenses for the training needs of the volleyball team and the badminton team! ”

"20%?!" Zhou Junyi couldn't hold back when he heard this, and jumped up directly from the chair. Simply Li Xiaolong made a gesture and pressed him down.

"Director Lou, it's not me saying that it's difficult for a good woman to cook without rice. The team wants good results and doesn't want to spend money, which is really difficult to do. The team's poor results last year were due to the departure of the main players such as Han Chongyu, a senior high school player, and the lack of good basketball seedlings in the first grade, and it was in a period of adjustment. In addition, they have also reached the semi-finals of the city, and they are only one step away from entering the national competition, and they have already cut their necessary expenses last year. We all tightened our belts and pulled through. It's a bit inappropriate to cut it by 20% this year, and prices are still rising every year, right? ”

"Coach Lee, that's not what I meant, as the director of physical education, I also have a lot of pressure. During the tenure of the predecessor Mr. Zhao, the team entered the top 8 in the country. I didn't even qualify for the Shanghai Division. If you can't get out of the line, you will cut expenses, which is a requirement set by the boss last year. I'm also powerless, I hope you can understand! ”

"The team now needs a field, and half of the field is given to the volleyball team, and even the concrete field outside can only occupy the space for students' after-school activities for training. The basketballs used were purchased three years ago, and many of the skins were degummed and cracked, and a considerable part of them needed to be updated. The team's daily training barbells, obstacles, protective gear, etc. are also left over from the previous two years, and they have been damaged and depreciated to a certain extent, as for the agility ladder, hoop elastic band, basketball training confrontation board, wrist gravity band, balance plate, etc., there is no or are all coaches and assistants themselves made of other materials, not to mention the simplicity, the effect is also very poor. Drinks, towels, etc. are also costly. Another 20% cut, I think I can't count on anything else except for my and Mr. Li's salaries! Then practice a P! The basketball team is disbanded! Zhou Junyi finally couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, jumped up again, and even said angry words.

"Xiao Zhou, don't be angry yet, sit down first. There are instructions from above, if it is indeed reluctant, there is also a meaning that there is no requirement for the basketball team's results next year! ”

"No grade requirements? Why didn't you say it? How is it? Even if you lose it all? Zhou Junyi asked again.

"Huh! You can say that," Director Lou said these words tremblingly.

"What does that mean?"

"If you can't build on last year's results, then you don't have to ask for it! There is no need for a professional coach" "Lou Baibai's" voice was smaller and more trembling, almost inaudible.

"What?" Zhou Junyi jumped to Lou's desk and slapped his hands heavily on Lou's desk with a "snap"! The height of 192cm formed a huge pressure in front of 'Lou Baibai', making his legs tremble.

"Then what do you mean is that Coach Li and I have left directly, and the basketball team has been directly abandoned!? Is that what it means? Zhou Junyi leaned closer to 'Lou Baibai's face, and spit out his question word by word with a serious expression. This oppressive force made 'Lou Baibai' break out in a cold sweat.

"That's not what it meant!" Lou Baibai said in a good voice, but his forehead was still sweating

"Does that mean anything else?" Zhou Junyi slapped the table with a "snap" again.

"Xiao Zhou!" Li Xiaolong made a color, meaning to let Zhou Junyi restrain his temper.

Zhou Junyi sat back in his chair with a huff.

"That is, if the two coaches can accept a 20% pay cut, then they can still stay in school!"

"What!" As soon as 'Lou Baibai' finished speaking, Zhou Junyi was so angry that he jumped up again.

"What is the broken school, my salary was only 4,000 yuan a month last year, and now I will cut my salary by 20%, 3,200 yuan a month? Washing dishes in restaurants is better than this! What do you think of us. And Director Lee, do you know who he is? The former head coach of the national youth team, if he can come to your school to coach, he should be happy to worship the Bodhisattva, and now he has a salary cut, and he is angry in your broken school. Other schools are scrambling to ask for guidance from Li, which school doesn't have an annual salary of more than 300,000? There is no master here! I'm not going to do it today! Zhou Junyi was furious, although he didn't slap the table, but this momentum was enough to scare 'Lou Baibai' into a cold sweat.
