"Lin Yu, you're fired!"
"Right now, leave the conference room and never appear in my sight again!"
Ben Giles, the eloquent scouting director on the stage in the conference room, was so angry that he was so angry when he saw the drowsy Lin Yu in the audience.
The ongoing meeting is a monthly summary meeting for scouts of the NBA Washington Bullets. It is February 1997, and there are still two months until the end of the regular season. It is the busiest time for scouts every year. .
The scouting profession has a very low presence in the NBA. Many fans know the players, coaches, general managers and even assistant coaches of their home team by name, and there is absolutely only one fan in a million who knows their own scouts.
Even such a non-existent profession is divided into three, six or nine levels.
The most senior ones are naturally senior scouts like Ben Giles, who controls the Bullets' scouting team and has eight full-time scouts under his command.
The next best are those scouts with guaranteed contracts, who are divided into potential scouts, transaction scouts and tactical scouts according to their different responsibilities.
Potential scouts are responsible for discovering young talents at home and abroad, trade scouts are responsible for exploring the competitive status of the team's trade targets, and tactical scouts are responsible for analyzing the tactical flaws and shortcomings of other teams, making suggestions for the head coach, and the nature of the work and assistant coaches. resemblance.
The lowest level is a cooperative scout like Lin Yu, who has no guaranteed contract and gets paid according to the work he does. He travels around to take game videos of college players and returns them to Ben Giles.
…
Lin Yu suddenly lost sleep after being yelled at by Giles.
It's not that he has any objections to Giles and deliberately makes him look bad, but he has unspeakable difficulties.
Lin Yu is a time traveler. He traveled to this parallel world three days ago. During these three days, his mind intermittently received various information from this body. His brain was overwhelmed and he was really exhausted. Only then did he sit in the conference room I dozed off.
"Mr. Giles, I'm sorry." Lin Yu forced an apologetic smile on his tired face.
"sorry?"
"Do you have any idea how many people on this planet want to be in the NBA?"
"If you don't have player talent and want to enter this circle, the best shortcut is to be a scout. Step by step, you can become an assistant coach, then a coach or even a general manager."
"I can easily recruit dozens of young people who can endure hardships and are better than you!"
"Get out! Get out of my conference room now!"
Ben Giles had just taken over as scouting director not long ago. I don't know if he wanted to take advantage of Lin Yu's power. He refused to accept the apology at all and insisted on firing Lin Yu.
In his previous life, Lin Yu had a bad temper, and he was someone who dared to challenge his immediate boss face to face. Seeing Giles' attitude, Lin Yu suddenly became furious.
"Do you really think anyone cares about this crappy job where you travel 250 days a year and only earn $20,000?"
"I'm still young and I have a great future. Staying under the hands of a fool like you is a waste of life!"
"The next time we meet, it will be me, Lin Yu, who is looking down at you!"
After that, Lin Yu stood up and left the conference room, walking towards the residence in his memory.
After Lin Yu left, everyone in the conference room looked at each other and laughed. These remarks about not bullying the poor young man seemed quite ridiculous to them.
They didn't know much about Lin Yu's situation, but looking at his status as a yellow man, they should know that he had no backers in this alliance.
If Lin Yu is the son of a certain big boss in the league, then his bold words today are still somewhat credible.
The NBA is also a small society that values personal connections. The stronger the connections, the faster you will get promoted. There are many big shots with high profile. When someone’s child enters the circle, he or she will start as an assistant coach.
However, Lin Yu did not have such a background. He was just a helpless and unknown person. No one would believe that he could really have a great future.
…
Lin Yu returned to his residence like a zombie, in an extremely bad mood.
Reluctance filled his chest, why did others travel through time to be either stars who were killing everyone, or famous coaches who were strategizing.
When he traveled back in time, he was just a scout, and a low-level scout at that. He lived in a dark basement. Liu Yuxi had to shake his head when he saw it!
What's even more tragic is that now he can't even become a scout, and he has said goodbye to the NBA completely, because the previous salary was too low, and the money in his wallet could only last for half a month at most.
If he can't find a job in the short term, Lin Yu is likely to end up wandering on the streets and become a first-generation electronic pet.
What's the next step? You can't go back in time and tighten the screws later, right?
I just tightened the screws in my previous life, but I still tightened the screws in this time-travel, so isn't this time-traveling in vain?
His brain was extremely tired, and with hesitation about the future, Lin Yu fell into a deep sleep.
…
This lasted fourteen hours of sleep. At two o'clock in the middle of the night, Lin Yu was awakened by a harsh mechanical synthesized sound.
"Congratulations to the host, the identity information is matched and the super passive system is successfully bound!"
"The host has four passive skill slots. The first slot is the permanent passive skill, and the last three slots are random passive skills every week. The random date is Sunday at eight o'clock in the evening."
"It is detected that the host has no player talent, it is automatically corrected to the coach's route, and the passive skills are changed to passive aura."
"The total number of passive auras is 10,000, and the main sources are war3, WOW, LOL, DOTA, pesticides, big pineapple, etc."
"The coaching route needs to host the players and continuously improve the player's favorability. The higher the favorability, the more fully the halo effect will be enjoyed."
"Gift package will be distributed if the binding is successful!"
"The gift package includes a permanent passive aura "Peak" and a potion "Brotherhood of Love".
Lin Yu, who was still sleepy, climbed out of bed with a strange look on his face.
According to the meaning of the system prompt just now, this is originally a player system. If you have player talent, the system will let you take the player route.
"Well, I'm 26 years old, 182 centimeters tall, 75 kilograms in weight, and my bounce is not much higher than a matchbox."
"It seems like he really doesn't have the talent to be a player."
"Coach, just coach, it's better than that inferior scout."
"Why does this favorability setting sound so obscene? Like the setting for the top female character in European and American SLG Little Butter? Natiya's Treasure?"
After Lin Yu accepted the reality, he began to study the two props he got in the gift bag.
"Peak": Permanent passive halo. After placing the passive slot, your rookie players on the field can gain peak combat power. It can only be effective for one rookie. When there is more than one rookie on the field, the halo effect will be invalid.
Lin Yu was stunned, this thing is a bit weird!
Rookies who are at their peak when they debut, like Shifu Duncan, are only a minority after all. The strength of most rookies is at least two levels behind their peak years.
Rookie Kobe and peak Kobe, rookie James and peak James are definitely not the same concept.
Even if the peak aura can only work on a rookie, the value is incredible!
For a moment, Lin Yu no longer hesitated about the future. Even if the system, which was three days late, only had this one function, Lin Yu felt that he would be able to live a life of food and clothing without having to tighten screws.
After checking out "Peak", Lin Yu couldn't wait to check out another prop, "Brotherhood of Love".
"Sympathy for Brothers": Designating any target within one meter can make the target's favorability towards the host reach the full value of 100 points. This prop is a special and unique prop. Please choose the target carefully. The prop is valid for twenty-four hours and will be automatically destroyed after expiration. .
Lin Yu was stunned again. He was still worrying about how to return to the NBA circle just now.
Although I got the system, I can't enter the NBA circle. No matter how strong the system is, it's useless. It's like having no girlfriend and being longer than Ibaka is useless.
Now that the problem is solved, this prop makes it easy for Lin Yu to return to the NBA.
"Go and designate president David Stern? Ask him to come forward to find a coaching job for you? Or just do it in one step and directly become the vice president of the league!"
"Jordan is the designated God of Basketball? He hasn't retired yet and still has a terrifying influence. Is it okay if I go to the Bulls to squeeze out Jackson Jackson?"
"No, the prop is only valid for twenty-four hours. Where can I find these two people?"
Lin Yu quickly realized how unrealistic his dream was. He is currently in Washington, which is not far from the NBA headquarters in New York or the Bulls' home court of Chicago. After all, they are both eastern cities and he can definitely arrive within 24 hours. .
But what if we get there? Why would a nobody like me come within one meter of these two people to use props?
"We still have to find someone from the Bullets. The most powerful person is definitely the owner Abi Paulin. Unfortunately, he doesn't show up at all. It's hard to say whether he is in Washington or not."
"How about appointing Chris Webber, the boss of the Bullets? He is the absolute core and cornerstone of the team. If he comes forward to force the team management, how can he get me an assistant coach?"
Lin Yu's face just showed joy, but he frowned again the next second. The Washington Bullets were on a road trip and were currently playing a game in Los Angeles. Where could he find Chris Webber?
After thinking about several candidates one after another, none of them were suitable, which made Lin Yu anxious.
He knew very well the importance of "Brotherhood of Love" to him. Even the system told him to choose his target carefully. If he chose incorrectly, he might really turn Lin Yu into an electronic pet.
The frowning Lin Yu knocked on his forehead and racked his brains to think.
About five minutes later, Lin Yu jumped up from the bed, trembling with excitement.
He thought of it!
A perfect goal comes to mind, a more suitable goal than Chris Webber!
