"Bone Crusher" Wes Unseld!
The NBA's super inside beast in the 1960s and 1970s, one of the top 50 superstars in history, and a Hall of Fame superstar!
The current general manager of the Washington Bullets, the real helmsman of the team, a totem-level boss, is in charge of all the team's affairs.
This is the perfect candidate that Lin Yu thought of!
Old Bone Crusher's daily life is extremely regular. Every day, there is a two-point line between home and office. Lin Yu also knows where his office is. He even passed Old Bone Crusher's office when he left the conference room yesterday.
In the Washington Bullets, he has most of the power to appoint and remove personnel. It is no exaggeration to say that Giles, who got 2.58 million in front of Lin Yu, the old bone crusher wants to fire him, and all he needs is one sentence. .
He is definitely a more perfect designated target than Chris Webber!
It was still late at night, and Lin Yu couldn't sleep at all. He opened his eyes and fantasized about his dominance in the NBA, and quietly waited for dawn.
Tomorrow is Friday. Even if the Washington Bullets go to play an away game, the old Bone Crusher will definitely go to the office. All Lin Yu has to do is enter the office during working hours and use "Sisters and Brothers" on the old Bone Crusher.
At 7:30 in the morning, Lin Yu freshened up and put on the most decent suit in his shabby wardrobe, trying to look as energetic as possible.
Riding a jingling old bicycle, it took an hour to arrive at the Bullet Club building.
The security personnel at the door knew Lin Yu. They didn't know that Lin Yu had been fired yesterday, so they let Lin Yu in directly.
Lin Yu was afraid of running into Giles and causing trouble. After entering, he quickly went upstairs towards the general manager's office.
…
In the general manager's office, Unseld was drinking coffee and reading the day's newspaper. He never dreamed that the next few minutes would change his life.
"Who are you?"
Lin Yu pushed the door open and walked out. Unseld looked at the strange young man who broke in before him, frowned and asked.
"Good morning, Mr. Unseld."
Lin Yu seemed to have entered his own house, without being polite to Unseld at all, and rushed to the desk in one stride.
The distance was already within one meter, and Lin Yu silently recited "Sisters and Brothers" in his mind.
"Are you sure to target Wes Unseld?"
The system prompt sounded, and Lin Yu made the decision without saying a word.
The next second, Unseld, who had an unhappy expression on his face, softened and looked at Lin Yu as if he were an old friend for many years.
"Good morning, young man, are you Chinese?"
Unseld stood up, walked to Lin Yu, and asked with a smile.
"That's right, a genuine Chinese with good roots and young talents."
"Mr. Unseld, do you also know something about China?"
Lin Yu is testing the effect of brotherhood.
"Of course, I dare say that no one in the NBA understands China better than me."
"Eighteen years ago, our Washington Bullets were the first NBA team to visit China and played two games in China. In the words of our then team vice president Jerry Sacks, every day is new. explore."
"Tiezhu! It seems to be called Tiezhu. I am very impressed by this name. He is a powerful player."
Eighteen years ago, in 1979, after ping-pong diplomacy, the United States sent the Washington Bullets to initiate basketball diplomacy, and Bonecrusher was one of them.
Although Lin Yu works as a scout for the Bullets, he spends most of the year away from home and has no chance to meet big figures like Unseld, so Unseld doesn't know Lin Yu at all.
Even so, Unseld had an inexplicable fondness for Lin Yu due to his sympathy with his brothers. He pulled Lin Yu to talk about everything from basketball to home life for several hours.
"What? Lin, Giles fired you?"
"What a damn idiot. He fired such an outstanding young man. He, the scouting director, thought he was the team president?"
"Lin, just wait, I'll get you back to work right now."
After saying that, the old bone crusher picked up the phone on the desk and wanted to call Giles over and give him a scolding.
Lin Yu was extremely satisfied with the effect of "Brotherhood". A few hours ago, Unseld didn't even know that the Bullets had such a number one figure as Lin Yu. Now the two have become inseparable and have become friends who talk about everything.
"No, Mr. Unseld, I don't want to continue being a scout."
"Can you let me be a coach in the Bullets? How about the head coach?"
Lin Yu said this in a joking tone. Of course he wanted to become the head coach in one step, but he also knew that this was not realistic.
"I like you more and more, Lin, you are such a humorous young man."
"26-year-old head coach? Great joke."
"But with your talent and knowledge, being a scout is really a waste. Just join our coaching staff and be an assistant coach to Jim."
"After a few years of experience, maybe you can really become a head coach before you are thirty."
Unseld made the decision directly and granted Lin Yu the position of assistant coach.
Lin Yu was overjoyed. From now on, he had the status of a regular army. With the help of the system, it was only a matter of time before he became the head coach, reached the pinnacle of his life, and married Bai Fumei.
"Thank you, Mr. Unseld, I will not let you down." Lin Yu's eyes were full of confidence.
"Of course, in the exchange just now, I can clearly feel that you have your own unique insights into the game and the players."
"This is valuable. Maybe your unique insights will help our Bullets get through the current difficulties."
Unseld shook the newspaper in his hand. The headline was that the Washington Bullets had suffered a four-game losing streak.
Basketball tactics and concepts must have continued to develop with the times. Lin Yu was a hardcore fan in his previous life. Under the influence of his ears and eyes, he picked up some concepts and tactics that transcended the times at his fingertips.
Such as the seven-second offense of the Suns in later generations, which sounded particularly fresh and exciting to the old bone crusher.
The other two also analyzed the pros and cons of the main tactics of various powerful players in the league today, such as the Bulls' triangle offense, the Jazz's pick-and-roll, and old Adelman's Princeton system, etc.
Many of Lin Yu's opinions are not very mature in the eyes of the old bone crusher, but his ideas are very novel.
"Come with me, kid."
"There happens to be an internal team meeting next. I will take you to get to know everyone. After the meeting, I will sign the assistant coach contract."
After saying that, the old bone crusher led Lin Yu towards yesterday's conference room.
After entering the conference room, Lin Yu saw Ben Giles at a glance. As the scouting director, he was naturally qualified to participate in this meeting.
Giles was confused when he saw Lin Yu, especially when he saw Unseld chatting and laughing with Lin Yu, which made him wonder if he was hallucinating.
After Lin Yu didn't bully the young man into being poor yesterday, he didn't even have the desire to laugh at Lin Yu. In his opinion, he would never have any interaction with a plankton like Lin Yu in the future.
However, just one day passed, and Lin Yu actually fell in love with the most powerful man in the Bullets!
How can this be? ! How on earth did he do it? !
"Hey, Mr. Giles, I didn't expect to see you again so soon."
"I'm sorry to disappoint you. I can't leave your sight forever. In the days to come, you may have to see me every day."
"By the way, I am now the team's assistant coach, with a contract."
Lin Yu stared at Giles with a burning gaze, which made Giles feel angry for no reason.
Although he is still a manager, his status in the team may not be as high as that of an assistant coach.
This can be seen in terms of salary. His annual salary as the scouting director is only 150,000 US dollars, while the lowest-paid assistant coach on the Bullets coaching staff exceeds 200,000 US dollars.
How could he not be annoyed that a young boy who had been fired by himself had climbed up to him in just one day?
"Lin Yu, don't scream at me. Don't let me succeed here. You are just an assistant coach!"
"The NBA is about strength and ability. I don't know how you got the assistant coaching job, but I'm sure you won't survive this season."
Giles' face turned red and he yelled angrily at Lin Yu in a low voice.
What he said is actually correct. Let alone assistant coaches, even head coaches have a very high elimination rate in the NBA. Every year, almost half of the teams kill their head coaches because of unsatisfactory results.
Lin Yu shook his head and laughed, "Mr. Giles, whether I can survive this season is not something you should worry about."
"What you should worry about is whether you can keep your job when I become the team coach."
"Maybe I'll fire you for stepping into the office with your left foot."
Just when Ben Giles was about to retort, the old Bone Crusher called Lin Yu over and introduced him to the team's top brass.
After the meeting, Lin Yu signed the first contract of his career in the general manager's office.
Annual salary of $220,000!
Because nearly two-thirds of the season is already underway, Lin Yu cannot receive his full annual salary, which is only about US$70,000.
