The Pope of Basketball Community

There were bursts of thunder, and there was a heavy rain on the ground. The sky seemed to be covered with strings of beaded curtains. The night scene in the rain in New York was very charming.

Yang Rui, who was drenched in the rain, hurried into an old apartment building on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, tried a few keys to open the door of the apartment on the fourth floor, and stared blankly at everything in front of him.

This is a mini hut with a maximum of 8 square meters. There is a two-story iron frame bed. You have to be careful when you sleep on the upper bunk and get up. It is easy to push your head to the roof. The lower bunk is now used as a table and placed neatly. With some books and clothes.

On a dilapidated desk next to it, there was only a bread machine, a pot, a few small plates, a bowl, two pairs of chopsticks, and a spoon.

The amazing thing is that there is a bathroom in this apartment. When you sit on the toilet, your knees can touch the door. This place is so small that people will never gain weight when they move in.

Yang Rui shivered and changed his clothes, wrapped in a blanket, and said to himself: "I almost froze to death outside... Am I reborn?"

He walked to the door, there was a small mirror on the door, and there was a strange face in the mirror.

He took a picture for a while, and accepted the reality with mixed surprises.

In his previous life, Yang Rui was 33 years old and graduated from a junior college in computer science. Because he was a member of the basketball school team during school, he especially knew basketball and sports news. After graduation, he was hired as an administrator of a large sports website, responsible for updating the special content of the NBA section, including players. Statistics, team salaries, record rankings, season player honors, etc.

He did a great job, and soon became a white-collar worker on a sports website with high wages and relatively leisure. Wake up.

He didn't even know how he got through it, since it was broad daylight and no accident happened.

His last memory is very clear. He was sitting in the office as usual in the afternoon. The newly bought Samsung "Never Explosive" mobile phone had just been fully charged. He called a friend and asked to have dinner together at night... Suddenly he was in the United States.

Memories appeared intermittently in his mind, and he found them back home with the fusion of memories.

The man's name is Jerry Yang, a 23-year-old Chinese. The name was given by the head of the orphanage, because he liked watching the cartoon "Tom and Jerry" when he was a child, and he laughed happily when he saw Jerry the mouse appearing on the stage.

At the age of 8, Jerry was adopted by a middle-aged Chinese surnamed Yang who lived alone. At the age of 17, his adoptive father died of illness, leaving little inheritance for the treatment of the disease. Jerry had to live with Thomas Bentley, his best friend of the same age in the orphanage. Working part-time together, it was very hard.

Memories are like watching a movie, one picture after another, Yang Rui gradually became excited.

Not only is he ten years younger, Jerry actually attended the coaching class of the five-star training camp under the sponsorship of Thomas. He just obtained the basketball coaching qualification certificate this year, and he can compete to become a basketball coach in various leagues.

It's a pity that Jerry spent four months and went to hundreds of schools across the United States, no matter whether he applied for a head coach or an assistant, he was unsuccessful.

The reality is so cruel, most schools don't give him a chance to perform at all, and the person in charge drives him away like a beggar.

After spending all his savings and being exhausted, Jerry returned to New York. Last night, he was invited to an insider party. He was depressed to find out that those who graduated from the training camp at the same time, good or bad, all found jobs.

At the party, Jerry hears a lot of shrill "concerns."

"Don't worry, you need to rest. You are looking for a job with dark circles under your eyes. How can you look like a coach? How can you make a good impression?"

"Of course you won't succeed if you dress like this to apply for a job. If you don't know, you might think you're interviewing for a cleaner. Listen to me and buy some good clothes first, and then try again."

"Didn't you do a good job in the restaurant before? Take some coaching class. I told you a long time ago that no matter what you do, you can't succeed if you don't concentrate.

"

"Little mouse, I kindly advise you, change careers quickly, stop dreaming, you can't be a basketball coach."

As a bystander, Yang Rui was very angry. Is this called persuasion? This is blatant discrimination.

In the future, the Internet will be developed, and many dark things will be invisible. The United States is by no means a paradise.

Jerry's coaching skills are solid, arranging player training, and arranging offensive and defensive tactics are not a problem. The fundamental reason why he can't even coach the junior high school team is racial discrimination.

Take a look at how American cities divide residential areas. In addition to dividing by economic status, it is also divided by race, ethnicity, and ancestral home.

"Chinatown", "Puerto Rican Quarter", "Italian Quarter", "Black Quarter", "Latin Quarter" and so on... Each district has its own system, the architectural form is national style, and there are their welfare mutual aid organizations, It also has its own underworld and gang groups.

Job discrimination is even more pronounced. The most typical example is that the United States legally refuses to recognize the academic qualifications of many third world countries. In this way, a large number of doctors and technicians from other countries have difficulty finding jobs after immigrating to the United States, so they have to change their careers and engage in simple manual labor and auxiliary work.

In the United States, blacks and Asians are the most discriminated against, followed by Latin Americans. It seems that the degree of discrimination is directly proportional to the shade of their skin color. It is too difficult to find a high-level job.

Yang Rui was very upset to receive these memories. If it was him, he would definitely fight back, and would not give these students any good looks.

Jerry chose to be patient, drank a lot of stuffy wine, left the party drunk, walked a long way, and finally slept on a deck chair by the roadside.

Jerry is not a fragile person. On the contrary, his perseverance is amazing, so he can get the coveted certificate. But he hit a wall everywhere in the job interview, mixed up with the current deadly virtue, and his iron nerves can't stand it.

The person who stimulated him the most was actually his friend Thomas.

Thomas is so outstanding, he has been a top student since he was a child, and he has been a first-class scholarship winner in the 4 years at Ivy League Columbia University. And he will devote his time, energy and attention to the work that can get paid, never miss any opportunity to make money.

Compared with his best friend, Jerry looks like a waste.

Thomas graduated from Columbia University this year and went to a company in Los Angeles for an internship, but Jerry only had 8 dollars left in his pocket, and Thomas even rented the rent of this small house.

Jerry owed the other party too much, because he was out looking for a job, so he didn't attend the other party's graduation ceremony, and witnessed his friend wearing a Columbia University cap.

Yang Rui took a deep breath, carefully took out the precious certificate from the drawer of the broken desk, looked at it again and again, his brows gradually relaxed, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Poor guy, let me continue your life, your dream, I will help you realize it!"

Yang Rui is very willing to become a basketball coach, earning money is secondary, the important thing is to be able to pretend to be a B, and it is also related to the work of his previous life, which can prove that he did not work in vain in his previous life.

So what about starting from scratch? He comes from the future, knows a lot of big things, knows the future of the NBA, and his vision is unmatched. It doesn't matter that there is no one in the school, there are ready-made opportunities nearby, and Jerry hasn't interviewed for an NBA team yet.

As long as Yang Rui is involved in the team's signings, he can gather a team of potential stars and give him a chance to coach, and he will definitely become a qualified coach.

No, should be the best basketball coach!
