Chapter 023: John Jr. Thompson
John Thompson Jr. smiled and did not speak, but immediately dialed Mr. Oardnorman's mobile phone number, but there was still no answer.
He dialed the second number again, and said, "Frank, are you free?" Is this boy Usiris, one of your team members? Oh, and the exclamation team is currently missing a big man, and I want to seconded Usilis permanently for $20,000.
The other end of the mic said: Oh, old man, you're back! Ok no problem! Usyris is strong and I'm sure he can help you with your inside problems. I'll tell my assistant that you can go through the formalities at any time.
It was clear that the person who spoke was Frank Gagno, the head coach of the school's rugby team, and Usyris, who was one of the opposing players.
The permanent loan fee consists of two items, one is a $10,000 scholarship from Usyris, and the other is to compensate the football team for training costs.
Temporary secondment, this does not cost anything, as long as the formalities are completed.
John Thompson Jr. dialed the third number, and it worked, and he said, "Mr. Healy, I need your help!" Mr. Ode Norman is not here, and there is a student who can't go through the transfer procedures, so you need to go through a temporary authorization procedure! Yes, I'm going back to the Marvel Team as an assistant coach! No, it's the manager! I'm old, and the stage belongs to Regg! You know, I'm really old! Reg is one of my most proud students, and I'm sure he can do just fine, but he needs a little help at the moment!
The other end of the microphone says: No problem! I'll help you with the authorization process now.
Timothy Healy is the full principal of the university, and has the right to temporarily delegate the authority of the vice president to the assistant vice president, so that the problem of Usilis's secondment is perfectly solved!
Head coach Reg Eslick was very moved, he really couldn't do these things by himself, and he had to be mentored at a critical moment, and in addition, his mentor was willing to deign to be his assistant coach, which was really an unexpected surprise.
All the members of the coaching staff were pleasantly surprised.
John Thompson Jr. dialed the fourth mobile number, and he said, "Mr. Jones, I'm sorry, I'm going back to the exclamation team!" No, no, no, not the head coach, it's the assistant coach! Reg needs a little help, I'm too old to do it! Okay, let's wait until tomorrow to resign, and I'll see you later!
Obviously, the other end of the microphone is the boss of a certain TV station.
John Thompson Jr. was resolute, and four phone calls solved all the problems at hand.
Members of the coaching staff stood up, cheered, and applauded John Thompson Jr.
John Thompson Jr. took the initiative to hug head coach Reg Essric and smiled: "Regg, I believe you need an assistant coach!"
Head coach Reg Ezlick excitedly said: "Mr. Thompson, welcome back!"
Telephone communication is in place, and the procedures are naturally very fast.
Assistant coach Bob took Usilis' school registration and $20,000 to run errands.
John Thompson Jr. and head coach Reg Essric watched the video as they discussed Usilis' talent.
Usilis is about 2.06 meters - 2.08 meters tall, weighs about 110 kilograms, has a super long arm span, at least about 2.25 meters, a difference of about 20 centimeters, and a vertical bounce height of about 55 centimeters.
In the case of a double bag, he singled one or two steps with his back, squeezed out the space and passed the ball, which was very skillful; In terms of diagonal interception, high blocking, and passing in a block, there is almost no difference from what Bill Russell did.
In addition, Usilis only had 2 fouls in the whole game, which shows that the IQ is very high.
Bill Russell, nicknamed the Lord of the Rings, led the Celtics to 11 championships in NBA history.
He has five great skills in defense, which are mid-range diagonal interceptions, controlling the offensive route of the ball carrier, and making mistakes for the opponent; High-altitude blocking, controlling the shooting angle of the ball carrier, and reducing the opponent's shooting rate; Halfway interception, long-arm steal; Pass the ball after the cap or block the ball, throw the basketball at or fan the player on your own team, and launch a quick counterattack; Sliding to the weak-side cap, this requires super bounce and a certain amount of airtime.
The person who can completely imitate these five stunts is the "Basketball Emperor" Chamberlain.
In the current NBA, Garnett, the wolf king with a super long arm span, can imitate about seven or eight percent.
Wirt-Chamberlain, 2.16 meters tall, 2.35 meters arm span, a difference of 19 centimeters, peak height, plus the super long arm span, this makes people speechless.
Kevin Garnett, 2.11 meters tall, 2.31 meters arm span, 20 centimeters difference, weighs 115 kilograms, and has a vertical bounce height of 90 centimeters.
Bill Russell, height 2.08 meters, arm span 2.34 meters, difference of 26 centimeters, weight 98 kilograms, vertical bounce height 81 cm, running bounce height 96 cm, touch height data 4.05 meters, high-altitude blockade is very domineering.
From the weight comparison, it can be seen that Russell's air time is definitely better than Garnett's.
Comparatively speaking, Usilis is as domineering as Russell in terms of height, arm span, basketball IQ, and traversal speed, but the difference is that the bounce ability is weaker, the footwork is weaker, the weight is overweight, the 100-meter speed is weaker, and the offensive means are weaker.
At present, he needs to do bouncing training tasks, foot training tasks, weight loss training tasks, 100-meter speed training tasks, and shooting training tasks; As for possession, it's dispensable, and even if you don't have the ability to do so, it doesn't matter much.
John Thompson Jr. hit the nail on the head in a few words, impressing head coach Reg Essric.
Usiris's domineering low-arc shots and flashy and elegant picks really confused the entire coaching staff's judgment.
There was knocking on the door, and the neighbors were all noisy.
They all gave a brief interview, and they all had the same impression of Usiris, strong, cold, good rugby, good piano, and nothing else!
Xiaoqian and Su Rui invariably refused the interview, and then went shopping.
For girls, when they are in a bad mood, shopping and buying a few clothes is a good way to mediate their mood.
Usiris didn't pay attention to any knocking on the door, but took out all the personal information in the drawer and looked at it carefully, all the professional courses were passed, and there was no need to work overtime to tutor; All that's left is the rugby team's twice-weekly intra-squad training and every Thursday. Except for the music and art class, the rest of the time belongs to me, and after half a year, there will be a series of rugby games, and I will be able to graduate after the game, which is very good; In addition, there are more than 30,000 US dollars in the Citibank card, which is at least enough to squander it for a year; Now I am worried about how to enter the amazement team smoothly, after thinking for a while, I still decided to wait patiently, after all, I have shown my talent and strength in basketball, and it is definitely not me who should be anxious next.
He opened his notebook and watched the video for a while, and after seeing the street basketball game, he suddenly had an idea, why don't he go to Rock Park?!
The first half of the NCAA is a basketball game, and the second half of the year is a football game, and the time is completely staggered.
The reporters of the school magazine had already determined that Usiris was resting in the house, so naturally he would not give up, knocking on the door and shouting for the only purpose, that is, to please accept our interview.
Located in New York, Rock Park is the mecca of street basketball in the United States, not very far from Washington.
At present, Usilis still has half a year of free time, if he does not join the Marvel team, the best training ground is Rock Park, where he can play with many basketball masters one by one to increase his basketball experience; In addition, the increase in various physical fitness data and basketball skills also has a reasonable statement.
Thinking of this, he immediately made up his mind, looked at the weather, there was no wind and sun, it was very good, suitable for exercise; I also inquired about the route and other information, booked air tickets and the most ideal hotel; Finally, I brought two basketball training uniforms, two passports, keys, mobile phones, wallets and other personal belongings, put on sunglasses, and set off immediately.
The reporters outside the door saw Usilis coming out, and while taking pictures frantically, they asked a lot of questions.
Usiris coldly pushed the reporters away, said sorry, did not accept any interviews, and left in a hurry.
Where does he have time to chat with reporters now, it still matters if he gets down to business.
The reporters of the school magazine shrugged their shoulders helplessly, but they did not stop, but shifted the goal to the exclamation team again, no way, there is no income without news, and without income, don't say anything.
They stormed the basketball gym again, and this time finally got the big news.
The school's legendary head coach, Mr. Thompson, is back, is he going to coach the Marvel team again?!
Oh my God! That's super big news!
A bunch of microphones slipped in front of Mr. Thompson, and as for Mr. Reg-Esric, please get out of the way!
John Thompson Jr. smiled bitterly, and had to emphasize once again that he was invited by Regg to be an assistant coach, and as for the matter of Ursiris, it is still being discussed.
He took out a stack of CD-ROMs that he had prepared a long time ago, gave each reporter a copy, shook hands in a friendly manner, said sorry, and went off.
In this burned disc, there is only a video clip of Usilis's pick-and-shoot basket and shot, about 3 minutes, and other than that, there is nothing else, and it must be no problem to fool the reporter of the school magazine!
Gorgeous, elegant baskets, this is enough!
A person who doesn't understand basketball, just let him see the gorgeous offense!
The reporters took the burning disc in one hand, the interview script in the other, and the cameraman with them, and left satisfied, needless to say, they must have gone to write the press release.
The basketball training hall finally fell silent.
At this point, Bob finally finished all the formalities for Usilis' permanent secondment and happily ran back.
John Thompson Jr. carefully checked the formalities before nodding in satisfaction.
He said: I want to see this boy as soon as possible, help me arrange it!
Head coach Reg Eslick smiled wryly and turned his gaze to Bob, a little thing that seemed to have been overlooked.
Bob said, "Okay, Mr. Thompson, wait a minute!
After he finished speaking, he dialed Usiris's phone.
