Thibodeau carefully arranged tactics and wanted to prove that he was better than Yang Rui in coaching ability. This has nothing to do with personality, but he was unwilling to lose.
The opponent is only 23 years old. If he loses, it really is... Thibodeau thought for a minute, but he didn't think of any English to describe the mood of losing. In Chinese it can be described as "the dog is gone".
After the game started, Thibodeau tragically found that the two sides were not at the same level and the situation was one-sided.
The white team attacked by Yang Rui's red team attacked the white team's fart, and the defense white team was at a loss, and Thibodeau looked on the sidelines crying without tears.
The worst performer was the white team center Andy Luke. He is in the minor league in the United States, with a height of 214CM and a weight of 110 kg. It seems that the advantage is quite large, so Thibodeau arranged outside to give him a drop shot to attack the basket.
As a result, Luke was out of the penalty area by Ben Wallace, who was two meters away. He couldn't hit the rim at all. He turned away from the basket and missed continuously.
Outside attack, the white team defender can't easily pass, Moore changed defense very fast after pick-and-roll, unlike the inside. It was easy to pass by once, and it might be blocked by Wallace who was defending.
No one scored, but Thibodeau knew that the red team led more than 20 points in one quarter. The offensive end was very layered, and he grabbed several offensive rebounds.
Yang Rui knew to save his face, offered to make a substitution, and used those players whose name he didn't know. The seven people selected by Thibodeau are not useless.
White player Brad Jones has a good shooting feel, and his three-point ability is better than Atkins. Unfortunately, his physical quality is too poor. He has a floor flow of 193cm, playing No. 2 speed and confrontation. Without arranging cover tactics, it is difficult for him to get out of defense by running.
There are three other black players with outstanding physical qualities. They have a strong ability to run and jump, and the shooting is not stable enough. The player is obviously low.
This kind of person is very prestige on the street court, it is difficult to play the NBA. You know, Alston, known as the "Streetball King" in New York, was selected in the second round of the NBA. After a few years of practice, he made a lot of mistakes before he came out. The pinnacle is a role player.
Of course, summer league can not play tacit tactics, they are useful.
Thibodeau believes that the promising center Luke, Yang Rui is completely ignorant, he knows that this kind of standing center without speed and no shot will soon be eliminated by the times. On the defensive end, you can empty him on the periphery and a offensive pick-and-roll. If he can't go out, if he encounters a defender who has the ability to shoot and is good at breaking through, he can easily loosen 30+.
After the first training, Yang Rui determined the starting lineup, which was the "Summer Five Lucky Stars" he chose.
After the match, Thibodeau was completely convinced, realizing that his selection vision was scum compared with Yang Rui. Even if Yang Rui was not a coach, he would become a scout, maybe he could do well.
When leaving the arena, Yang Rui asked, "How do you feel, Big Tom? Are you confident about our victory in the preseason?"
Thibodeau smiled embarrassedly: "If it works well, maybe it will work... will you reuse Brad? His three-point shot is accurate."
"Of course, he can play a big role in the Summer League, but you also know what defensive strength the NBA is, he should not stay in the Knicks."
"Hey." Thibodeau sighed, not for Brad, but for himself. He chose seven people, and none of them seemed reliable.
Killing him would not have thought that this summer league, other teams have no reliable players, the most potential people are already in their team.
Choosing people without eye-catching is the welfare of the traversal.
In the evening, Yang Rui and Thomas left the hotel for dinner. Thibodeau was irritated and said he would not go with each other and stayed in his room to heal. He began to doubt his life, doubting that he didn't have the talent to be a coach at all, otherwise how to explain that he was crushed by a 23-year-old?
The two casually found a steak restaurant. Meal was secondary and chatting was the purpose. The two hadn’t seen each other for more than three months.
After ordering, Thomas began to ask questions, and ten minutes later, he completely believed that Yang Rui was a good buddy who grew up together, because he was asking about privacy, and he could not answer it for another person.
"You have changed! It has changed too much! I can't believe it." Thomas smiled on his face. He had been worried about Jerry's future, and now he had a big concern.
"I think it was the coach certificate that gave me confidence. I started to believe that I was a genius and not a waste." Yang Rui replied vaguely. He knew that the contrast was great, but let him pretend to look like Jerry, he didn't want to do it. Can't do it, it's better to mix Hollywood.
"How much is the annual salary for teaching assistant?"
"150,000 before tax." Yang Rui answered lightly.
"Are you too calm? As an analyst on Wall Street, unless you are very good, otherwise the annual salary will not be 150,000. You are now equivalent to five New York police officers." Thomas laughed: "I am really proud of you ."
"I believe that you will make a lot of money in the future. If you study finance, you will definitely trade stocks? Is the analyst the kind of job?"
"Yeah. Do you want to invest?" Thomas asked.
"Well, if you have money, invest. UU reading www.uukanshu.com I usually don't spend any money. When you return to New York, you will use stocks for all other money except accommodation and meals."
"Aren't you afraid of losing me?" Thomas said with a smile, his expression was not like he would lose. This is his field of expertise.
Yang Rui ridiculed: "You are a senior student in Colombia. I know you from me. Your exams are almost full marks. I have been curious about how your brain grows. Will you pay?"
Thomas is ambitious. "Then leave it to me, I promise you will not lose money."
In fact, Yang Rui did not trust Thomas completely, but understood the US economic situation. In his previous life, stocks have risen very well in recent years. Even the 1998 Asian financial crisis, the US economy has not been affected.
It was not until the Internet bubble burst in 2000 that the U.S. stock market took a big turn. Later, the 9/11 incident made Americans whisper for a long time, fearing that they would encounter terrorist attacks, and the stock market collapsed in those years.
If you use the 9/11 event to buy short stock index futures, Yang Rui can make a fortune, as long as he is not afraid of being investigated by the FBI.
He doesn't think that the effect caused by his little butterfly can affect the US economy, so a lot of things will definitely happen. He doesn't worry about Thomas' stocks losing money at all.
"When I have a certain amount of capital, start an investment company. As long as you give me the money, I promise to double it every year." Thomas cut the steak skillfully, yearning to become the wolf of Wall Street.
"Only doubled? Your ambition is too small? I have a hunch, we will be very rich in the future, the world's top 100 kind of." Yang Rui laughed.
"Dream dreaming? Even if you are the most powerful coach in the NBA, how much money can you make? Even the first star Jordan can't be ranked on the Forbes list."
"Look and see."
