Chapter 2 [People Must Be Self-Knowledged]
The weather in New York is not hot in June, and it rains a few times almost every week. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Summer cultural performances take place at this time of year, with concerts in Central Park and opera and dance parties near Lincoln Center, making it the perfect time to get to know New York's local scene.
However, Yang Rui was not in the mood to play, especially when all the belongings were in the single digits, and he considered which route from the Upper West Side to New Jersey was the cheapest.
Searching through his memory, he found that New Jersey was just across the river from Manhattan, two kilometers in a straight line, so he walked there.
He's targeting the Nets, and he's such a bold guy.
In his previous life, he held a college diploma from a third-rate university, and he dared to go to a large company to apply for a white-collar position, and he succeeded, and was regarded as a god by his classmates. If it weren't for the early death of his parents, he would have been proud of him.
He wore a dark blue tracksuit and shaved beard, and while he looked more like a player than a coach, he at least felt crisp and smart, and made a good impression.
Leaving the house early in the morning, at about 10 o'clock in the morning, he arrived at the Road Aviation Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
He is full of confidence, Jerry has a lot of knowledge about basketball coaching in his memory, the foundation is solid, and he understands the future of the NBA's popular tactical concepts, which can be called a combination of two swords.
His first choice was the Nets because the Nets were terrible enough to go 30-52 in the 1995-96 season, and 96-97 brought the University of Massachusetts coach John Calipari to take the helm of the team, and the result was even worse, 26-56.
If Kalipari doesn't produce any results next season, he will not be far from the end of class. Calyparry, a protégé of Larry Brown, is good at building a defensive system and has a terrible offense, and Yang believes his offensive philosophy can impress him.
Yang Rui also knew that this year, the Nets would exchange for the top star Van Horn from the 76ers, and the tactical effect was obvious.
The team played badly in the early stage, so as long as Kalipari was given a strong laxative in the middle of the game, he had a chance to be ordered to rise up strongly and turn the tide when he was defeated.
And so on, it's all an illusion together......
Yang Rui shook his head, such a thing with three wrong views was obviously Jerry's thoughts, but fortunately he wore it, and there was another good person in the world.
After the regular season, two assistant coaches of the Nets team were fired, and Calippari needed a new assistant to stay in the arena and discuss work with management.
Yang Rui came at a good time and successfully handed in his resume, Calipari and the management were surprised, first, he got the coaching qualification at such a young age, second, he didn't have any coaching experience at all, and third, he dared to come to the NBA team for an interview?!
"You've never coached in a school and came to apply for an NBA assistant coach?" Manager Ed Stefansky looked at Yang Rui in disbelief.
Anyone joining the NBA at the age of 23 is a step to the top, and there is no precedent like this in NBA history.
As the world's highest-level basketball league, even if it is an assistant, not everyone can do it, so Ed suspects that Yang Rui's brain is abnormal and crazy.
"yes." Yang Rui smiled and nodded.
"Why should we hire you? In the United States, there are countless coaches with coaching experience. Ed looked dismissive.
In the face of the other party's questioning, Yang Rui was still calm, and his psychological age was much older. Thinking about it from another perspective, he is the manager of the team, and he will also think that young people are unreliable.
It's not discrimination, it's human nature.
"Because I have the ability to take the Nets to the next level, okay, Mr. Calipari won't know if I'm going to take the test? Ability can't be faked. Yang Rui looked at Calipari who was sitting on the sofa.
Calipari sat on the sofa without raising his head, and hummed: "Wait until you take the students to play games for a few years and then think about the NBA, I don't have time to waste time with you." ”
"So, if you don't try, you're going to refuse?" Yang Rui's eyes changed, and evil qi surged.
Treating friends as warm as spring, and treating enemies as cruel and ruthless as winter, is his way of life.
"That's right, if you have kung fu to play tricks, you might as well try your luck on the middle school team. People must be self-aware. Calipari snorted.
Yang Rui was not slow, looked directly at Calipari, and said with a smile: "Dribbling through the tactic, I think it should be called 'AASAA', that is, 'I hit, I hit, I fight, I hit again'." Mr. Calipari, you have taken this tactic to its forefront and given it the new designation, DDM. Among them, the defender's ability to break through with the ball is its lifeline, am I right? ”
"What do you mean?" Listening to the young man's sudden choreographing of his own smug tactics, Calipari's face turned gloomy.
It's a guard-oriented offensive routine, where the guard runs and penetrates in the offensive half, hitting the basket or beyond the three-point line to give a shot back. The core is the outside, and the inside only needs a blue-collar to grab rebounds, so the Nets responded to Caliparry's request and traded Van Horn.
Yang Rui continued: "My meaning is very simple, if the opponent is stuck in the core guard, without a good point guard, you can't win at all. ”
"Heh, are you teaching me? I've never seen a more crazy young man than you. Kalipari glared at Yang Rui fiercely, but found that the other party was still breezy and calm, revealing a smile that sent chills down his spine.
"You're mistaken, I'm just laying out a fact and predicting your failed and sad future in the NBA."
Since he won't stay, Yang Rui won't be polite, he knows very well that Calipari can't prove himself in the NBA.
"I think with the depth of the roster, I can make the playoffs with this Nets alone. And your tactics are easy to be studied thoroughly by opponents, at the latest in the 98-99 season, the team's record will drop sharply, I am the boss will definitely lay you, maybe you are not willing to leave like this, you will find a team as an assistant coach in order to turn over, but it is useless, in the end you will only go back to the university and implement the 'I fight and I fight' tactics. ”
Hearing the curse-like words, Calipari was furious. "What are you? Chinese people don't even have anyone who can play the NBA, and they don't understand basketball at all, so you deserve to evaluate me? ”
"Not worthy of an evaluation? People have to be self-aware, when you are scolded by the fans and cut by the tennis team in the future, you will definitely regret it very much, if you are not so arrogant, maybe it will be a completely different life. After speaking, Yang Rui got up and walked out of the office slowly.
Nets, go to hell, a brain-dead team that has never won an NBA championship.
At this moment, Yang Rui deeply realized what it means to "have no talent", obviously you are very capable, the most difficult thing is not to do a good job, but to let those who have no ability, but have the right to speak believe in you.
The manager Ed and Kalipali looked at each other, they didn't expect such a young man, is this the attitude that they should have when they come to apply? They never said anything about a failed job and belittled the manager.
Ed wondered why Yang Rui had the confidence to do this, could it be that this Chinese really had two hits? There are only a handful of people who have obtained the coaching qualification at the age of 23, and the certificate of the five-star training camp is genuine.
"Damn, I don't believe any team would want someone like him." Calipari said angrily.
He didn't take Yang Rui seriously, he felt that Yang Rui was young as a player.
