Chapter 57: Can I Kiss You?
Scouts have a dedicated office area located on the second floor of the club's building.
"Bang!"
Unselde kicked open the door of the conference room on the second floor, leading Lin Yu to enter with a fierce momentum.
At this time, Jels was in a meeting with the scouts, and when he saw Unselde's angry appearance, he immediately realized that something was wrong.
"Damn Gilles, you've been fired!"
"Get out of my field of vision now!"
"If murder isn't illegal, I'll chop you into meat sauce right now!"
Unselde pulled his neck and roared at Gilles, he didn't give any explanation at all, and he was about to fire Gilles.
Everyone in the conference room was silent, and the atmosphere did not dare to take a breath, and no one dared to make any noise in the face of the angry Unselde.
"Why? Mr. Unselde, what have I done wrong? ”
"Not satisfied with this year's scouting report? I can re-prepare other reports. ”
Jers asked in a trembling voice, the salary of the scouting supervisor is indeed not high, but he can also draw some oil and water for the travel expenses allocated by the team every year, and he usually does not have much work, this is a very suitable job for retirement.
"What did you do wrong? You're not wrong about anything, I'm just eating too many doughnuts and want to fry your squid. ”
Of course, Unselde would not mention the yellow rumors, and in front of so many people, he couldn't afford to lose that person.
"It's because of Lin Yu, right?"
"Damn, Lin Yu, do you really want to do things so badly?"
Jers glared at Lin Yu and asked, he had already accepted his fate, with his understanding of Unselde, he would definitely be in danger today.
"That's right, it's because of Lin Yu that he wants to take over your position as the head of scouting."
"Get out of here."
Unselde wanted to kick Jers out of the conference room.
Lin Yu's face twitched on the side, why did he become a scout supervisor again? The manager's job is enough for him to have a headache, he is so busy every day that his feet don't touch the ground, and now he has to be in charge of scouting?
In front of everyone, Lin Yu couldn't dismantle Unselde's stage, so he simply kept silent.
After Jels left the meeting in disgrace, Unseld pulled Lin Yu to his side and said to all the scouts in the conference room.
"In the future, Lin Yu will be your direct superior, and he has the right to fire any of you at any time."
"Do your job, don't say that you shouldn't say."
After that, Unseld patted Lin Yu's shoulder, "I'll leave it to you here." ”
……
The scouts looked at each other, and they had already begun to wonder if they had sinned against Lin Yu before, and after thinking for a while, they realized that they had no intersection with Lin Yu before, so they were relieved.
Lin Yu used to be a supernumerary scout, and he was not usually resident in the club at all, and he never said a word to many of them.
recalled a scout's monthly meeting a month ago, when Lin Yu was fired and squided, everyone present didn't take it seriously, they never dreamed that Lin Yu not only came back, but also directly became their direct superior.
"Director Lin, why don't you arrange our work for the next three months?"
An old scout said to Lin Yu with a little flattery.
Lin Yu has the memory of this body, and he is no stranger to scouting work, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Then let's start preparing for the draft report of the class of '97." ”
"Although our draft picks have been sold to the Mavericks, who knows if we will trade them in the future."
"You produce a draft report, and Mr. Unseld will be used as a reference when the time comes."
The scouts nodded again and again, took out their notebooks and wrote hard, and showed Lin Yu that they had fun, and they just said those two sentences, is it worth recording them specifically?
……
In the morning, the players rested, and the training camp started at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
The game against the Jazz made Lin Yu realize that the Bullets team couldn't play blocking and dismantling tactics, of course they could play, but the effect was definitely not as good as that of Jazz.
That being the case, there's no need to spend time on pick-and-roll tactics.
Sitting on the sidelines and watching Bernie practice the players, Lin Yu suddenly found something that made him cry and laugh.
It seems that the Bullets don't need to play specific tactics at all, what is really suitable for the Bullets is that Big Ben sits under the basket, and the other players attack alone with their own abilities, at most interspersed with some simple blocking and dismantling tactics.
There is no need for tactics on the defensive end, and at the moment the zone defense is not allowed, that is, the players are marked one-on-one.
By six o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Yu dismissed the players and went to Unseld's office, where he wanted to quit his job as head scout, and the coaching job at hand was enough for him at hand.
Even if you don't let you quit, at least you have to increase your salary, right? You can't get one salary and work two jobs.
After coming to the general manager's office, Lin Yu didn't see Unselde, but saw Karma.
"Hey, Lin, remember our agreement? How's it going tonight? ”
Karma trotted towards Lin Yu, her eyebrows were full of affection, as if she had seen a lover she hadn't seen for a long time.
Lin Yu stared at the rushing waves, swallowed his saliva, and silently said in his heart, "I'm sorry, Mr. Unselde......"
Moments later, Lin Yu drove Kalmar in a Porsche 911 to a French restaurant.
The handsome man and beautiful woman group, no matter where they appear, will be eye-catching, especially Lin Yu is currently a celebrity in Washington.
When eating, Karma was not abnormal, and when she went to the movies after dinner, she began to be dishonest, rubbing and rubbing Lin Yu, and from time to time she exhaled heavily in Lin Yu's ear, which made Lin Yu feel so upset, and he didn't even know what movie was playing after the movie ended.
Seeing that it was already past nine o'clock, Lin Yu drove Karma back.
After arriving at the place, Karma sat in the co-pilot and pulled Lin Yu's arm and asked with a smile: "Lin, don't you want to go up and drink a glass of water?" ”
Of course Lin Yu didn't dare, he didn't know if Karma lived alone or in Unselde's house, if he went up to drink a glass of water, in case he ran into Unselde, his skull would have to be broken.
"Next time, I have a game tomorrow, so I really have to go back and rest." Lin Yu declined.
"Well, that's a shame, you can't see the surprise I have in store for you."
Intentionally or unintentionally, Karma exposed the lace around his waist.
Lin Yu's teeth are about to be crushed, it's really burning, he's going to die, where has he experienced such a glamorous scene in his previous life, he can't wait for the hungry tiger to pounce on food, and put Karma in the car to correct the Fa on the spot.
"Forget it, then another day, Lin, can I kiss you?"
Karma's delicate lips had already approached Lin Yu.
"No ......"
"Don't stick out your tongue ......"
Lin Yu was licked out of the shadow by the speeding car last time, and hurriedly reminded.
……
After watching Karma leave, Lin Yu drove home, he really had a lot of work to do in the past few days.
Early the next morning, Lin Yu got up early and made a phone call to Lao Qiao.
"Huh? Dinner for a technical statistician? And then a little gift? ”
Hearing that Lin Yu arranged for himself to contact a technical statistician, Lao Qiao was stunned, he had been in this industry for decades, and it was the first time he had heard of someone talking to a technical statistician.
Each team has technical statisticians at their home stadium, but these are not team staff, but third-party personnel hired by the league.
Lin Yu's idea is to let the sleek and sophisticated old Joe come forward and make friends with the technical statistician, so that the players will be more or less beneficial in the home games of the Bullets in the future.
For example, the data of assists, many times the judgment depends entirely on the mood of the technical statistician, and careful fans should find that the assists of NBA players are much more than those under the FIBA system, the main reason is that the NBA is more lenient in the statistics of assists, as long as it is a conscious pass and can easily score an assist.
What is an easy score? And that's not all the technical statistician's personal perception.
Even if one more assist can be counted in a game, isn't that also for nothing?
In addition, the block data can also be improved, like that kind of fingertip cap, the change in the basketball trajectory is very weak, and no one can say whether it should be changed or not with the naked eye, so isn't the role of technical statisticians coming?
However, handing over the technical statistician will definitely have no effect on the outcome of the game, and the scoring is too objective.
"Lin, I finally know why you've only been here for so long, and the players are so convinced of you."
"You're a coach who thinks about the players wholeheartedly, and if I had a coach like you when I was younger, I would have at least be at the level of Larry Bird."
"I will do what Bird will, I will pass, Bird will not, how am I worse than Bird?"
The more Old Joe talked, the more angry he became, he was very resentful of the Lakers team, and in his opinion, the reason why he wandered to Europe was to blame Lakers coach Harris and President Jerry West's bad evaluation of him.
Lin Yu didn't want to hit Lao Qiao either, "You're all this age, there's no point in thinking about it anymore, it's better to train Kobe Bryant." ”
"Yes, train Kobe Bryant well, damn it, if only Kobe Bryant could come to Washington."
"At that time, we wanted to go to the Lakers, just because Los Angeles is a big city and has a lot of exposure, and it's not necessarily a good thing to think about it now."
Old Joe was thoughtful, and he didn't know what calculations he had in his heart.
……
After Old Joe left, Lin Yu called Mashburn and Jalen Rose to his office.
"Sit down, Zhu Wan is back, you should already know the news."
"Putting a 100 million dollar contract player off the bench would make Mr. Unseld a league-wide joke."
"So I can only wronged one of the two of you."
Lin Yu sighed and said, both of them are players who have been traded by themselves, and the palms and backs of their hands are full of meat, so Lin Yu can't bear to let anyone play as a substitute.
"I'll play as a substitute, coach, Zhu Wan was injured by me after all."
"And Jamal is getting back into shape, he needs to start more than I do."
"It doesn't matter if you play as a substitute, it's about the same time anyway."
Mashburn was about to speak, but Jalen Rose had already said yes.
Lin Yu nodded, now it can only be arranged like this, Marsh said that he is a small forward, in fact, he plays the same as a quarterback, and his physical fitness is extremely strong, his athletic talent is bursting, and when he plays a quarterback, the offensive and defensive effect may be better than that of a small forward.
The main reason why he played the No. 3 position when he was in the Mavericks was that he already had Jim Jackson on the Mavericks.
……
The Bullets still have four games this week, against the Pistons on Tuesday night, the Raptors on Wednesday, the Suns on Friday, and the Timberwolves on Saturday.
The schedule is a bit strange, back-to-back in a row, but fortunately, it is all at home, and the players do not have to suffer from the fatigue of traveling.
Lin Yu attaches great importance to tonight's game against the Pistons, because he is not sure that he can really hit the second place in the East, so it is still possible to encounter the Pistons in the playoffs.
It's a good time to use this game to test the intensity of the Pistons and prepare mentally for the playoffs.
After the start of the game in the evening, Lin Yu sent the starting lineup of Big Ben, Huo Ershu, Webb, Mashburn plus a flying car.
As soon as he started, after Weber received the pass from the flying car, he transferred the ball to Uncle Huo, who had been friends with Uncle Huo for many years, so he naturally wanted Uncle Huo, who had just come back, to brush up on the data.
As a result, Uncle Huo was hatted by Ratliff when he came up, and after Lynch-Hunter, the No. 1 Pistons, picked up the ball, he assisted Hill to hit a mid-range shot.
Lin Yu's face was bitter, Second Uncle Huo really didn't treat Ratliff as a person, this kind of ball can be thrown casually?
Ratliff is only in the second grade now, and he has already shown his extraordinary blocking strength, even if he has not entered his peak, Uncle Huo's tiptoeing mid-range shot is also a hat and a quasi-child.
And if Ratliffe enters his prime, he is a real blocking maniac, and even the block rate can reach 10.4%, and Big Ben's peak season is only six or seven points.
