The scouts have a dedicated office area, located on the second floor of the club building.
"boom!"
Unseld kicked open the door of the conference room on the second floor and led Lin Yu in aggressively.
At this time, Giles was having a meeting with scouts. Seeing Unseld's furious look, he immediately realized that something was wrong.
"Damn it Giles, you're fired!"
"Get out of my sight immediately!"
"If it's not illegal to kill someone, I'll chop you into pieces right now!"
Unseld pulled his neck and roared at Giles. He didn't give any explanation at all, and wanted to fire Giles.
Everyone in the conference room was as quiet as greetings, not daring to take a breath. Facing the furious Unseld, no one dared to make any sound.
"Why? Mr. Unseld, what did I do wrong?"
"Not satisfied with this year's scouting report? I can prepare other reports from scratch."
Giles asked in a trembling voice. The salary of the scout director is indeed not high, but he can also make some money from the travel expenses allocated by the team every year. In addition, he doesn't have much work at ordinary times. This is a job that is very suitable for retirement. .
"What did you do wrong? You did everything right. I just ate too many donuts and wanted to fire you."
Of course Unseld would not mention Huang Yao. He couldn't afford to embarrass that person in front of so many people.
"It's because of Lin Yu, right?"
"Damn it, Lin Yu, are you really going to do this to such an extreme degree?"
Giles glared at Lin Yu and asked. He had already accepted his fate. Based on his understanding of Unseld, he would definitely be doomed today.
"That's right, it's because of Lin Yu that he wants to take over your position as scout director."
"Get out of here right now."
Unseld wanted to kick Giles out of the conference room.
Lin Yu's face twitched on the side, why did he become the scout supervisor again? The job of the head coach is already enough to give him a headache. He is so busy every day that his feet never touch the ground, and now he has to be responsible for scouting work?
In front of everyone, Lin Yu didn't want to discredit Unseld, so he simply kept silent.
After Giles left the meeting in disgrace, Unseld pulled Lin Yu to his side and said to all the scouts in the meeting room.
"Lin Yu will be your direct superior from now on, and he has the right to fire any of you at any time."
"Do your job well and don't say nonsense that you shouldn't say."
After saying that, Unseld patted Lin Yu on the shoulder and said, "I'll leave this to you."
…
The scouts looked at each other and began to wonder if they had committed any sins against Lin Yu before. After thinking for a long time, they realized that they had no interaction with Lin Yu before, and then they felt relieved.
Lin Yu used to be a non-staff scout. He didn't stay at the club at all, and he never said a word to many of them.
I recall the monthly scout meeting a month ago. At that time, Lin Yu made harsh words after being fired. Everyone present did not take it seriously. They never dreamed that Lin Yu not only came back, but also directly became a player. their immediate superior.
"Director Lin, how about you arrange our work for the next March?"
An old scout said to Lin Yu slightly flatteringly.
Lin Yu has the memory of this body and is no stranger to scouting work. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Then start preparing the 97th draft report."
"Although our draft rights have been sold to the Mavericks, who knows whether they will be traded for more draft picks in the future."
"When you publish the draft report, Mr. Unseld will use it as a reference."
The scouts nodded repeatedly and took out their notebooks to write furiously for Lin Yu's amusement. He only said a few words. Is it worth recording them specifically?
…
The players rest in the morning and training begins at three o'clock in the afternoon.
The game against the Jazz made Lin Yu realize that the Bullets couldn't play pick-and-roll tactics. Of course they could play, but the effect would definitely not be as good as the Jazz.
In this case, there is no need to spend time on pick-and-roll tactics.
Sitting on the sidelines and watching Bernie train the players, Lin Yu suddenly discovered something that made him dumbfounded.
It seems that the Bullets don't need to use specific tactics at all. What really suits the Bullets is that Ben sits at the basket, and other players attack individually according to their abilities, and at most they can use some simple pick-and-roll tactics.
There is no need for tactics on the defensive end, and zone defense is not allowed at the moment. It means players are marking one-on-one.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Yu dismissed the players and went to Unseld's office. He wanted to quit his job as scout director. He was already busy enough with the coaching work at hand.
Even if you are not allowed to resign, you should at least get a little salary increase, right? You can't just get one salary and work two jobs.
After arriving at the general manager's office, Lin Yu didn't see Unseld, but saw Kalma.
"Hey, Lin, do you still remember our agreement? How about tonight?"
Karma trotted towards Lin Yu, her eyes full of affection, as if she was seeing her lover whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
Lin Yu stared at the rushing waves, swallowed, and silently said in his heart, "I'm sorry, Mr. Unseld..."
A moment later, Lin Yu drove Kalma to a French restaurant in a Porsche 911.
The combination of handsome men and beautiful women will attract attention no matter where they appear, especially since Lin Yu is currently considered a celebrity in Washington.
During the meal, there was nothing wrong with Karma. When she went to watch a movie after the meal, she began to be dishonest. She rubbed and rubbed Lin Yu, and breathed heavily into Lin Yu's ear from time to time, making Lin Yu distracted. , after the movie ended, he didn’t even know what movie was shown.
Seeing that it was already past nine o'clock, Lin Yu drove Karma back.
After arriving at the place, Kalma sat in the passenger seat and took Lin Yu's arm and asked with a sweet smile: "Lin, don't you want to go up and have a glass of water?"
Of course Lin Yu didn't dare. He didn't even know whether Karma lived alone or at Unseld's house. If he went up to drink a glass of water, his skull would be cracked if he met Unseld.
"Next time, I have a game tomorrow and I really have to go back and rest." Lin Yu declined politely.
"Well, that's such a pity. You can't see the surprise I specially prepared for you."
After saying that, Karma exposed the lace around her waist intentionally or unintentionally.
Lin Yu's teeth were almost broken. He was so burned that he was about to die. He had never experienced such a sexy scene in his previous life. He wished that a hungry tiger would pounce on him and execute Karma on the spot in the car.
"Forget it, let's wait for another day, Lin, can I kiss you?"
Karma's delicate lips were already moving towards Lin Yu.
"No……"
"Don't stick out your tongue..."
Lin Yu was licked out by a speeding car last time, so he quickly reminded him.
…
After watching Kalma leave, Lin Yu drove home. He did have a lot of work to do in the past few days.
Early the next morning, Lin Yu got up early and called Lao Qiao.
"Huh? Invite the technical statistician to dinner? And give him a small gift?"
Old Qiao was stunned when he heard that Lin Yu had arranged for him to contact the technical statistician. He had been in this industry for decades, and this was the first time he had heard of someone trying to curry favor with the technical statistician.
Every team has technical statisticians at its home court, but these people are not staffed by the team, but third-party personnel hired by the league.
Lin Yu's idea is to ask the smooth and sophisticated Lao Qiao to come forward and make friends with the technical statistician. In the future, the Bullets' home games will benefit the players more or less.
For example, statistics such as assists are often determined entirely by the mood of the technical statistician. Careful fans will find that NBA players have much more assists than under the FIBA competition system. The main reason is that the NBA's statistics on assists are more relaxed. As long as If you receive a conscious pass and score easily, it is considered an assist.
What does it mean to score easily? This is not just the personal perception of the technical statistician.
Even if one extra assist can be counted in a game, isn't it still for nothing?
In addition, the blocking data can also be improved. Fingertip blocking, like that, has a very weak change in the trajectory of the basketball. No one can tell whether it has changed or not with the naked eye. Then doesn’t the role of the technical statistician come?
However, having a good technical statistician will definitely have no effect on the outcome of the game. Scoring is too objective.
"Lin, I finally understand why you have only been here for so long and the players are so convinced of you."
"You are a coach who considers the players wholeheartedly. If I had met a coach like you when I was young, I would have been at least on the level of Larry Bird."
"I can do everything Bird can do. I can pass the ball, but Bird can't. How am I worse than Bird?"
The more Joe talked about it, the angrier he became. He was very resentful towards the Lakers team. In his opinion, the reason why he wandered to Europe was because Lakers coach Harris and president Jerry West treated him badly. evaluate.
Lin Yu couldn't attack Lao Qiao, "You are already at this age, and there is no point in thinking about it anymore. You might as well train Kobe."
"Yes, train Kobe well. Damn it, it would be great if Kobe could come to Washington."
"At that time, we wanted to go to the Lakers, just because Los Angeles is a big city and has high exposure. Thinking about it now may not be a good thing."
Lao Qiao was thoughtful, not knowing what was going on in his mind.
…
After Lao Qiao left, Lin Yu called Mashburn and Jaylen Rose to his office.
"Everyone, sit down. Zhu Wan is back. You should already know the news."
"Letting a player with a contract worth 100 million yuan to come on the bench will make Mr. Unseld a joke throughout the league."
"So I can only wrong one of you two."
Lin Yu sighed and said that both of them were players he had traded with him. The palms and backs of their hands were full of flesh. Lin Yu couldn't bear to ask anyone to play as a substitute.
"I'll be the substitute, coach. After all, I was the one who injured Zhu Wan."
"And Jamal finally found his form. He needs to start more than me."
"It doesn't matter if you play as a substitute, the playing time is almost the same anyway."
Just as Mashburn was about to speak, Jaylen Rose had already agreed.
Lin Yu nodded. Now this is the only way to arrange it. Mashburn said he was a small forward, but in fact he plays like a shooting guard. Moreover, he has extremely strong physical fitness and explosive athletic talent. He can play as a shooting guard and has good offensive and defensive effects. Probably better than small forward.
The main reason why I played the three position when I was in Dallas was because the Mavericks already had Jim Jackson on the team.
…
The Bullets still have four games this week, facing the Pistons on Tuesday night, the Raptors on Wednesday, the Suns on Friday, and the Timberwolves on Saturday.
The schedule is a bit strange, with back-to-back games, but fortunately they are all at home, so the players don’t have to suffer from travel and travel.
Lin Yu attaches great importance to tonight's game against the Pistons, because he is not sure that he can really hit the second place in the Eastern Conference, so there is still a possibility of encountering the Pistons in the playoffs.
This game can be used to test the strength of the Pistons and prepare mentally for the playoffs.
After the game started in the evening, Lin Yu sent out a starting lineup of Ben, Uncle Huo, Weber, Mashburn and Speedy.
As soon as the game started, Weber received a speeding pass and transferred the ball to Uncle Huo. With his years of friendship with Uncle Huo, he naturally wanted Uncle Huo, who had just come back, to improve his statistics.
As a result, Uncle Huo was blocked by Ratliff when he came up. After Pistons No. 1 Lynch Hunter picked up the ball, he assisted Hill in the frontcourt and hit a mid-range shot.
Lin Yu looked bitter. Uncle Huo really didn't regard Ratliff as a human being. Can he shoot this kind of ball casually?
Ratliff is only in his second year now, and he has already shown extraordinary shot-blocking ability. Even if he has not entered his peak period, Huo Ershu's mid-range shot, which is on tiptoe, is always accurate.
And if Ratliff enters his peak period, he is a true shot-blocking maniac, and his blocking rate can even reach an incredible 10.4%. Ben's peak season was only six or seven points.
