Chapter 2 Don't give me a whoa
"Bone Crusher" Wes Unseld!
The NBA's super interior beast in the sixties and seventies, the top 50 superstars in history, and the Hall of Fame supergiants!
He is currently the general manager of the Washington Bullets, the real team helmsman, a totemic boss, and is in charge of all the team's affairs.
This is the perfect candidate that Lin Yu thought of!
The old bone crusher usually lives an extremely regular life, every day is two points and one line between home and office, Lin Yu also knows where his office is, and even when he left the conference room yesterday, he passed by the old bone crusher office.
In the Washington Bullets, he has most of the personnel appointment and dismissal powers, and it is no exaggeration to say that Jels, who dragged 2580,000 yuan in front of Lin Yu, only needs one sentence if the old bone crusher wants to fire him.
He's definitely a better target than Chris Webb!
It was still late at night, Lin Yu couldn't continue to sleep at all, opened his eyes and fantasized about the scene of his domination of the NBA, quietly waiting for dawn.
Tomorrow is Friday, even if the Washington bullets go to play away, the old bone crusher will definitely go to the office, what Lin Yu has to do is to enter the office during working hours and use "Brotherhood" on the old bone crusher machine.
At half past seven in the morning, Lin Yu freshened up, changed into the most decent suit in the shabby wardrobe, and tried his best to make himself look energetic.
Riding a tinkling, dilapidated bicycle, it took an hour to reach the Bullet Club building.
The security personnel at the door knew Lin Yu, and they didn't know that Lin Yu had been fired yesterday, so they directly let Lin Yu in the door.
Lin Yu was afraid that he would run into Jels, so he hurried upstairs and rushed towards the general manager's office after entering the door.
……
In the general manager's office, Unselde was drinking coffee and reading the newspaper of the day, and he never dreamed that the next few minutes would change his life.
"You are?"
Lin Yu pushed the door out directly, and Unselde looked at the strange young man who broke in in front of him, frowned and asked.
"Good morning, Mr. Unselde."
Lin Yu seemed to have entered his own door, he didn't say anything polite to Unselde at all, and rushed to the desk with one arrow step.
Within one meter of the distance, Lin Yu silently recited "Brotherhood" in his mind.
"Are you sure to designate Wes-Unseld as a target?"
The system prompt sounded, and Lin Yu settled down without saying a word.
In the next second, Unselde, who originally had a displeased expression, his face softened, and he looked at Lin Yu as if he had been an old friend for many years.
"Good morning, young man, are you Chinese?"
Unselde stood up, walked to Lin Yu's side, and asked with a smile.
"That's right, authentic Chinese with red roots."
"Mr. Unselde, do you know anything about China?"
Lin Yu is testing the effect of siblings.
"Of course, I dare say that no one in the NBA knows China better than me."
"Eighteen years ago, we at the Washington Bullets were the first NBA team to visit China, playing two games in China, and in the words of our then-VP Jerry Sachs, it was a new exploration every day."
"Iron pillars! It's like it's called Iron Pillar, and I'm very impressed by the name, he's a strong player. ”
Eighteen years ago, in 1979, after ping-pong diplomacy, the United States sent the Washington Bullets to start basketball diplomacy, and Lao Bone Crusher was one of them.
Although Lin Yu works as a scout for the Bullets, he spends most of the year outside, and he usually doesn't have the opportunity to contact a big man like Unseld, so Unseld doesn't know Lin Yu at all.
Even so, under the effect of brotherhood, Unselde had an inexplicable good impression of Lin Yu, and pulled Lin Yu to talk for several hours, from basketball to home.
"What? Lin, Jells fired you? ”
"What a goddamn idiot to fire such a brilliant young man who thinks he's the president of the team?"
"Lin, you wait, I'll give you back to work."
With that, the old bone crusher picked up the phone on the desk and wanted to call out to Jells and scold him.
Lin Yu is extremely satisfied with the effect of "Brothers and Sisters", a few hours ago, Unselde didn't even know that the bullets team had such a number one person as Lin Yu, and now the two have become friends who talk about everything.
"No, Mr. Unseld, I don't want to continue as a scout."
"Can you make me a coach on the Bullets? What about the manager? ”
Lin Yu said this in a joking tone, of course he wanted to become the head coach in one step, but he also knew that this was not realistic.
"I'm getting more and more fond of you, Lin, you're such a humorous young man."
"A 26-year-old manager? Great joke. ”
"But with your talent, it's a waste to be a scout, go straight to our coaching staff and be an assistant coach for Jim."
"After a few years of training, maybe you can really become a coach before you are 30 years old."
Unseld directly made up his mind and agreed to Lin Yu's position as an assistant teacher.
Lin Yu was overjoyed, from now on, he had the identity of a regular army, and with the help of the system, he became the coach, walked to the peak of his life, and married Bai Fumei, it was only a matter of time.
"Thank you, Mr. Unseld, I will not let you down." Lin Yu's eyes were full of confidence.
"Of course, in the exchange just now, I can clearly feel that you have your own unique views on the game and the players."
"It's invaluable, and maybe your unique insight will help us get through this difficult time."
Unselde shook the newspaper in his hand, and the headline was that the Washington Bullets had suffered a four-game losing streak.
Basketball tactics and concepts must continue to develop with the times, Lin Yu was a hardcore fan in his previous life, and some concepts and tactics that transcend the times are at his fingertips.
Such as the seven-second offense of the Suns in the future, this sounds particularly fresh and exciting in the old bone crusher.
The other two also analyzed the pros and cons of the main tactics of the league's giants today, such as the Bulls' triangle offense, the Jazz's blocking and pick-and-roll, and the old Adelman's Princeton system.
Many of Lin Yu's views are not very mature in the eyes of the old bone crusher, but the ideas are very novel.
"Come with me, kid."
"There's an internal meeting of the team next, I'll take you to get to know everyone, and after the meeting, I signed the assistant coaching contract."
With that, the old bone crusher led Lin Yu towards yesterday's conference room.
After entering the conference room, Lin Yu saw Ben Giles at a glance, and as the head of scouting, he was naturally qualified to participate in this meeting.
Jers looked confused when he saw Lin Yu, especially when he saw Unselde talking and laughing with Lin Yu, which made him wonder if he was hallucinating.
After Lin Yu bullied the young man into poverty yesterday, he didn't even have the desire to laugh at Lin Yu, in his opinion, it was impossible for him to have any intersection with a plankton like Lin Yu in the future.
However, only one day has passed, and Lin Yu actually fell in love with the most powerful man in the bullet team!
How is this possible?! How the hell did he do it?!
"Hey, Mr. Jels, I didn't expect to meet again so soon."
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, I can't leave your field of vision forever, and you may have to see me every day in the days to come."
"By the way, I'm an assistant coach for the team now, the kind with a contract."
Lin Yu stared at Jers with burning eyes, staring at Jels so much that his heart was nameless.
Although he is also a director, the status of the team may not be as high as that of an assistant coach.
This can be seen in the salary, he is only $150,000 a year as a scouting director, and the lowest paid assistant coach on the Bullets coaching staff is over $200,000.
A hairy boy who was fired by himself only took a day to climb on his head, how could he not be annoyed.
"Lin Yu, don't give me a wow wow wow scream, don't be a villain here, you're just a teaching assistant!"
"The NBA is a place of strength and ability, and I don't know how you got your job as an assistant coach, but I'm sure you won't make it this season."
Gilles's face turned red, and he scolded Lin Yu angrily in a low voice.
His words are actually true, not to mention the assistant coach, even the elimination rate of head coaches in the NBA is extremely high, and almost half of the teams kill a head coach every year because of unsatisfactory results.
Lin Yu shook his head and laughed, "Mr. Jels, whether I can survive this season or not, that's not something you should worry about." ”
"What you should be worried about is whether you will be able to keep your job when I become the manager of the team."
"Maybe I'll fire your squid for stepping into the office with your left foot."
Just when Ben Giles was about to ridicule him, the old bone crusher beckoned Lin Yu over and introduced the team's senior management to him.
After the meeting, Lin Yu signed the first contract of his career in the general manager's office.
The annual salary is $220,000!
Because nearly two-thirds of the season has been carried out, Lin Yu can't get the full annual salary, which is only about 70,000 US dollars.
