Chapter 301 302. The Last Puzzle
Chapter 301 302. The Last Puzzle
Liu Rui sat at home eating bread and drinking milk slowly.
The last piece of the puzzle for the team is of course important, but Liu Rui has 200% confidence to solve it.
So at this time, there was no rush at all. After breakfast, Liu Rui took out his mobile phone and found the text message record with the general manager Smith.
There was a phone number in it, and Liu Rui chose to call it directly.
beep-beep-beep
"Hello? Who is it?"
"I am the head coach of the Bobcats, and my name is Liu Rui."
"What Rui?! Damn! Liu Rui?!"
Liu Rui heard a crackling sound from over there, it sounded like the phone had dropped to the ground.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my hand slipped and I didn't catch it. Coach Liu Rui, what do you want from me?"
"Then let's make a long story short. I'm calling you, and you must know why. And I also know that so far, no one has offered you a contract."
"And the Bobcats' style of play coincides with yours, so I can offer you a one-year contract, and I think you can consider it."
Sitting on the sofa, Liu Rui looked at the newspaper in his hand, wanting to see if he still exists in the latest scandal...
"No! Don't think about it, I think I'm very suitable, so it's decided, when will we sign the contract?!"
"........."
………………
It was Nick Van Exel, the famous "Fan Crazy" in the NBA, who had a phone call with Liu Rui before! !
Once shot through the peak king with his own strength, and beat Jordan with one hand in the game, "Fan Crazy", the first nerve knife in NBA history!
Crazy Fan played for the Portland Trail Blazers last season. As the team's best sixth man, his task on the court is to grab points.
He also averaged 11 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists per game.
And such a result, it is still not possible to wait for a contract this season. Of course, there are many reasons for this.
First of all, Crazy Fan is 34 years old and is already a proper league veteran.
And his style of play is simply intolerable for a team that strictly requires discipline.
The weirdest thing is that in the last season, Fan Fanzi was the only player in the league who averaged more than 15 minutes per game, but his shooting percentage was indeed lower than his three-point shooting percentage...
Last season, Madman Fan's field goal percentage was only 38.1%, but his three-point field goal percentage was as high as 38.9%.
As for why this happens, I can only tell you, just get used to it!
Someone once asked, what kind of positions can be covered by Fan Fan's shooting hotspots on the court.
If someone asks Liu Rui this question, Liu Rui can only tell him that Madman Fan has no shooting hot spots on the court.
When he feels good, any place after halftime is a hot spot for shooting. When he feels bad, even if you put him under the basket, he will also hit the iron.
Such a willful and powerful player.
After all, the nickname of "Crazy Fan" is by no means accidental...
Moreover, it is precisely because of Madman Fan's strange style of play, coupled with his advanced age, that his movement speed on the defensive end can no longer keep up with the young people on the outside.
This also led to no team having contacted him this season.
So Liu Rui knew this very well, so he was not in a hurry.
In the previous life, when the regular season was about to start, the Spurs reluctantly gave Crazy Fan a veteran's basic salary contract.
And when Crazy Fan joined a disciplined team like the Spurs, one can imagine the end.
This also led to, after the Spurs ended a season, Fan Maniac could only face retirement in the end.
The reason why Liu Rui wanted to sign him was not so much because of his contribution on the court, but more because he wanted him to grow up with Lu Wei and Mo Williams.
This man, who can exchange one with Jordan when he has a fit, has survived in the league for so many years, not only relying on his hand feeling when he has a fit.
But on the offensive end, Fan Maniac can throw the ball in various ways.
Crazy Fan's offense is adequate, and what he's been talking about is his offensive options.
After all, it's hard to pray that a madman will think seriously on the court.
For the Bobcats, who are focused on disrupting the battle, Fan Fan's experience can quickly help Lu Wei and Mo Williams to grow.
And in Liu Rui's tactical system, Madman Fan can indeed be seamlessly connected without any fusion.
And this phone call, as Liu Rui expected, went surprisingly smoothly.
After all, getting a contract is not easy for Madman Fan today.
What's more, it is still a team like the Bobcats who already play the same way, and there is no one in a million.
And with this "I am invincible under Jordan, and I am one-for-one above Jordan" fan lunatic decided to join.
So this season, the Bobcats' 15-man roster is also completely determined.
Thinking about the lineup he will lead next season in his mind, Liu Rui also frowned.
If this lineup feels better..., damn it!ruthless!So cruel! !
But if this lineup doesn't feel good..., damn it!ruthless!So cruel! !
...............
April 8
With the basic completion of this season's operation, at this time, Liu Rui finally ushered in his own rest time.
Next, you just need to find a way to run-in the team's new players.
Then wait until October, when the preseason for the new season will begin.
However, Liu Rui directly handed over the matter of running in tactics and players to Montgomery.
After all, he wanted to play outside tactics, and now he has a place to play. Liu Rui decided to give him more power.
Well, it was actually Liu Ruilan, so I handed it over to Montgomery...
But how to say, this NCAA basketball godfather is definitely not a vegetarian.
The reason why Liu Rui spent this offseason was to put together a new coaching staff for the Bobcats.
Just to be able to relax more while coaching, but when Montgomery heard Liu Rui's request, he was actually very happy to let him study the style of play for the new season first? !
Liu Rui's work was handed over to him, and then Montgomery had to thank Liu Rui.
Of course Liu Rui would not refuse such a good deed...
And with the end of this period of time, Liu Rui finally ushered in his real holiday.
As of now, the team's lineup configuration is basically complete.
The next thing to do is to let Cole accompany the players in three-point shooting training, and a few people led by Montgomery will run-in the team's tactics.
Liu Rui set goals for himself throughout the offseason, and now there is only one thing left to complete, but Liu Rui is not in a hurry about this matter.
After all, for Liu Rui, it was only a few days that could really allow him to have a good rest.
Because regardless of whether Montgomery can complete the team's affairs alone, as the team's head coach, Liu Rui must take a proper rest and return to the court to find a way to make the new lineup run-in.
Originally, Liu Rui was always worried that the team's lineup was not perfect enough, and there were still too few people available under him.
But with the arrival of the new season, Liu Rui is a little worried again. There are too many people who can use him, which is also an annoyance...
...............
April 8
Liu Rui, who had been resting at home for a few days, seized the opportunity to catch up on a good night's sleep these days.
After all, after the start of the season, if you want to sleep in, you will no longer have this opportunity.
As for Liu Rui's arrangement for himself throughout the offseason, there is only the last one left.
Of course, this matter can also be said to be dispensable for the Bobcats.
Because even if they don't come, the Bobcats will not have any impact, but if they can come, it will indeed have some benefits for the Bobcats.
As for this point, Liu Rui also has great confidence, so he has been calm and pressed at the end.
Even his confidence in him was greater than his confidence in taking down Madman Fan.
Because he is not a player, what Liu Rui needs him to do is also very simple, it can be said that it is easy to do.
Early in the morning, Liu Rui first took a plane, then transferred to a car, and finally arrived in Harrisburg, Virginia after a bumpy journey.
There is only a river between here and the capital Washington, so it can be said that it is not far away.
After getting off the car, according to the address Smith's mobile phone sent him, Liu Rui also took a taxi to go directly.
In the car, Liu Rui also dialed this number.
beep-beep-beep
"Hi, hello, who are you looking for?"
A man's voice came from the other end of the phone. The voice was relatively stable and gentle, and he was obviously a man with a good family education.
"Hehe, your eldest son should be in his third year of high school. Are you ready for which college he will apply for?"
Sitting in the taxi, Liu Rui answered irrelevant questions and said.
"Huh?! Excuse me, who are you?!"
The voice on the other end of the phone was obviously a little confused, but he really couldn't tell who made the call to him.
"I am the head coach of the Bobcats, and my name is Liu Rui."
In the taxi, Liu Rui felt that he should be almost confused, so he directly reported his family name.
"Coach Liu Rui?!"
Apparently, the person on the other end was also a little surprised, obviously he didn't expect that Liu Rui would actually call him.
You know, the two of them had never communicated before.
And Liu Rui even asked about his son's condition on the phone, which made him even more confused.
But then, he suddenly thought of something again, and the whole person seemed to become very excited.
"Are you really Coach Liu Rui?!!!"
"Haha, don't get excited, of course I am Liu Rui, the fake head coach Liu Rui, why do you all like to ask me this kind of question?"
"The name Liu Rui should be rare, haha."
Hearing the voice on the other end of the phone became a little excited, Liu Rui also knew that his goal had been achieved.
Because no one knows better than Liu Rui that at this time, this person is worried about his son's future.
"Okay, long story short, I'm taking a taxi to your house right now, if you're free, I think we can sit down and talk face to face."
"Free, free, you came so early, I don't have time to prepare something, and you didn't say hello in advance before you came."
Hearing that Liu Rui had already taken a taxi to his home, it was obvious that while being surprised, he was also flattered.
Because although he is a veteran who has retired in the league, compared to Liu Rui, the influence of the two in the NBA is really indescribable.
And Liu Rui had talked about his son's problem before, and he didn't think that his son's talent would be noticed by Liu Rui at first glance.
After all, it was a problem for his son to apply for the university.
But now he heard that Liu Rui had come here on his own initiative, which obviously surprised him very much.
And what really excited him was that Liu Rui actually knew about his son, obviously he also had some understanding of his son.
And it just so happens that Liu Rui is one of the best coaches in the league who can coach three-pointers.
This made him even more excited. Even though he didn't know what Liu Rui's purpose in looking for him was, it didn't affect his excitement at all.
"Haha, I guess I'll be here soon, so let's meet and talk face to face later."
After hanging up the phone, Liu Rui also shook his head.
Hearing the tone on the other side, he was obviously more excited than himself. It seemed that he might still underestimate his identity as a time traveler.
After sitting for about ten minutes, the taxi stopped by the side of the road. Liu Rui paid the fare. After getting out of the car, he glanced at both sides, wondering what he was thinking while standing by the side of the road.
In the distance, when he saw Liu Rui getting out of the car, he rushed towards Liu Rui excitedly.
"Coach Liu Rui, this! This!"
After Liu Rui got off the car, he just wanted to take out his phone and make another call.
He heard someone calling himself, and when he looked back, he found that he was already walking towards him.
Seeing this scene, Liu Rui smiled helplessly. This guy was even more anxious than himself.
And the person who came to Liu Rui was none other than Dell Curry, a retired veteran in the league and known as a marksman! !
Dell Curry just retired a few years ago, and after retiring, he has been teaching his two sons at home.
His eldest son is Stephen Curry, who is well-known in later generations.
And Curry is currently in high school, and will apply for college next year, but because of his current thin stature, he looks very weak.
Liu Rui knows very well that after graduating from high school, Stephen Curry participated in the basketball training camp of Duke University.
Hope to join this famous basketball school, but the old coach K of Duke University and his coaching team agreed that Curry was too thin and short to adapt to the intensity of the NCAA, so they gave up recruiting him.
After that, Dell Curry also searched for several universities in a row, but no surprise, everyone turned Curry away in the end.
Before becoming famous, Curry can be said to be very sad, and no one can accept even if he wants to enter a prestigious NCAA university.
In the end, seeing that the start of school was approaching, Dell Curry had no choice but to find someone to send Stephen Curry to Davidson College.
And what kind of place is Davidson College? !
The entire college covers an area of only 556 acres and is located in a small town called Davidson in North Carolina, yes, yes, it is a small town.
The entire college had only more than 1000 students at that time.
Compared with Duke University, it is no exaggeration to say that it is a heaven and an underground.
Seeing that his eldest son Stephen Curry is about to graduate in one year, Dell Curry is also making more preparations for his son's future in advance.
But there is no doubt that in this case, Dell Curry can only do nothing in the end.
After all, one of Dell Curry's greatest honors during his career as a professional player was winning the best sixth man.
So his honor is not enough for the giants to give him this face.
The purpose of Liu Rui's coming this time is very obvious, of course not for Stephen Curry who is still in high school.
After all, no matter what, Curry is just a kid today.
The real purpose of Liu Rui's coming this time is to ask Dell Curry to return to the Bobcats as a shooting coach.
Although the Bobcats have Cole in the shooting drill today, a three-pointer is famous throughout the history of the league.
But from the perspective of God, Liu Rui's ambition obviously cannot be satisfied so easily.
So I also want to invite the old Curry to the Bobcats. If the young players of the Bobcats can get both Curry and Kerr from beyond the three-point line.
Then this result is obviously very terrifying.
You know, when these two were players, their career three-point shooting percentages were above 40%, and they reached a terrifying nearly 50% in their peak seasons.
The most important thing is that while these two can maintain such a high shooting percentage, it is not because of the small number of three-pointers.
On the contrary, what these two have in common is that they have relied on three-pointers for their meals throughout their careers.
Therefore, even though Dell Curry has retired, he still maintains the historical scoring list of the New Orleans Hornets and is the Hornets' scoring leader.
And most of these points were scored by the old Curry with a three-pointer.
In this era when Curry has not grown up, who can be a good shooting coach in terms of three-point shooting attainments.
Then Cole and Dell Curry are obviously far ahead.
Of course, there is also Reggie Miller who just decided to retire this season, but that guy has a bad mouth and Liu Rui doesn't like him...
"I've been standing by the side of the road for a long time, I'll just call you when I get there, because you came out so early."
"Haha, it's okay, it's okay, sitting at home is boring anyway, I've long wanted to go out for a stroll."
"Please come in quickly, I have already made tea, let's go in and sit on the sofa."
Following Old Curry and two people into the house, they invited Liu Rui on the sofa, and Old Curry poured a cup of tea for Liu Rui himself.
In terms of age alone, old Curry is now in his early 40s, much older than Liu Rui.
But in front of Liu Rui, old Curry did not use age as an issue. After all, this world is realistic. In the face of strength, age can only become a moral constraint.
If it is said that in later generations, after Stephen Curry became famous, then his father, old Curry, also rose with the tide.
But so far, this family is just an ordinary basketball family.
In this era when three-pointers have not been taken seriously, it is obviously difficult for the old Curry's career achievements, this kind of player who relies on three-pointers to make a living, to get too much attention.
Of course, Liu Rui was obviously not included in this.
"Don't be too polite. How about Stephen University? If I remember correctly, he should be graduating from high school next year. Have you decided which university to enroll for him?"
Liu Rui drank tea with a smile, although Liu Rui was very clear about what happened later.
But this didn't affect Liu Rui's pretending to be crazy in front of Lao Kuli. After all, there was no other person in this world who knew about this matter except himself.
"Hey, I used my contacts to contact a few schools before, and they said they would give me a training camp opportunity, but I think the hope is slim, alas..."
"However, Coach Liu Rui, I have always believed that my son will definitely be better than me in the future. Although he is still very thin now, you have to believe that he will definitely achieve something in the future."
In the first half of the sentence, old Curry is of course telling the truth. The reason why he emphasizes the second half of the sentence is also because he is afraid that Liu Rui will look down on his son.
Although he didn't know the purpose of Liu Rui's trip, he asked Stephen right away. Obviously, this trip was also related to basketball.
Old Curry didn't care about what Liu Rui was doing, and finally had this opportunity, so he had to have a good chat anyway.
"Indeed, I also believe that Stephen will be a good player, but you have to admit that it is difficult for him to win the favor of a prestigious university."
"Although this sentence is not pleasant to hear, you should understand very well whether what I said is true."
"Besides, it is indeed a bit abrupt to come here this time, because it came earlier than I expected. Maybe to discuss this issue, I should discuss it with you next year."
Liu Rui didn't finish the next words, picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip by himself.
Liu Rui knew that even if he didn't say anything, Curry would definitely ask after a while.
"Yes, yes, Stephen is definitely a good player in the future, but, hey..."
Shaking his head, the old Curry didn't continue talking.
Picking up the teapot again, he poured a cup of tea for Liu Rui in front of him.
"By the way, Coach Liu Rui, if you come to me this time, there must be something. I don't know if there is something that can make you come here in person."
For Liu Rui's coming, although the old Curry felt puzzled, it was obviously an opportunity for the old Curry.
In this league, if Liu Rui ranks second in coaching three-pointers, no one dares to rank first.
In the last season, the Bobcats ranked first in the league with a big advantage in terms of three-point shots per game and three-pointers per game.
In terms of average three-pointers per game alone, it has almost doubled that of the Sonics, which ranks third in the league.
In the entire league, the only one that is close to the Bobcats is the Golden State Warriors.
But the two teams are closer in the number of [-]-pointers attempted per game, not the number of [-]-pointers made per game.
Moreover, Montgomery has stepped down as the head coach of the Golden State Warriors, so next season, the only team that is close to the Bobcats will no longer exist.
Although Bickerstaff also followed Liu Rui for a season, there must have been a lot of differences in his three-point shots according to his previous life.
However, it is difficult for Bickerstaff to give up his blind coaching style and choose to imitate Liu Rui's tactical system.
In addition to the fact that the Golden State Warriors' lineup does not allow it, it is also because Bickerstaff's coaching philosophy has followed him for decades, and it is impossible to be changed by Liu Rui overnight.
Although what Liu Rui brought to him must have some subconscious assimilation, it was also very limited for Bickerstaff.
"It's nothing, then, since you've already said this, let me say a few words first."
"I'm here to wish your eldest son Stephen Curry a bright future. After Stephen Curry graduates from high school, it may be difficult for him to enter the NCAA giants."
"Of course, you can try again after he graduates. If, as I expected, no school is willing to accept Stephen, then I can find a good place for Stephen."
"I know, you may be confused when I say this, because although my current popularity in the NBA is quite high, it is not enough for me to penetrate the NCAA."
"But you may have overlooked one point. Among my teaching assistants, there is one person, Montgomery!"
"Haha, I think you are familiar with this name. Montgomery is the basketball godfather of NCAA Stanford University."
"He wants to recommend a high school player to enter the university. It can be said to be a matter of one sentence. There is no need for any reason at all, even if this player is a person who can't play basketball!!"
"Although Stanford University is definitely not as good as North Carolina and Duke, it is also a first-tier team, and it can also be called a wealthy team in the NCAA."
"Last year, they were the No. 1000 seed, ranking No. [-] among more than [-] schools in the entire NCAA. I don't think I need to explain what this means."
Liu Rui, who had finished speaking this sentence, obviously had the chance to win.
Familiarity with the historical trajectory of NBA players is, for Liu Rui, choking a person's life.
He knows very well what these players need most and what they desire most at certain stages, and it just so happens that he can give them all.
"What? Coach Liu Rui, are you sure what you said is true and you're not kidding me? Today shouldn't be April Fool's Day, right?"
Hearing Liu Rui's words, Dell Curry was obviously shocked.
The old Curry certainly knew what the Stanford University signboard represented.
And it is clearer what it means to be introduced to the team by Montgomery.
It is no exaggeration to say that being introduced to the team by Montgomery, the godfather of basketball at Stanford University, is probably more meaningful at Stanford University than at Duke and North Carolina.
Because this also means that you will get more playing time under the coach.
And even if they enter Duke and North Carolina, only 60 players are selected by the NBA every year.
Even if you get into a wealthy school, if you don't perform well, you can only fail.
And if he was introduced to the team by the greatest basketball godfather of Stanford University, his status and development in the team would be visible to the naked eye.
And Montgomery's status at Stanford University is simply unshakable, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has been promoted to the altar.
Montgomery was the head coach of Stanford University for the past 18 years before entering the NBA.
During the leadership period, a total of 393 wins and 167 losses were achieved.
And in the last season of the NCAA, Montgomery led Stanford University to a good result of 30 wins and 2 losses.
It included a 26-game winning streak, the 10th 20-game winning streak in American School League history.
In last year's draft, a total of 7 of Montgomery's disciples were selected in the first round.
In October of the previous year, due to Montgomery's outstanding performance, he also won the famous "Legendary Coach" Lifetime Honor Award, becoming the sixth coach in history to receive this award! !
And in his 18-year coaching career at Stanford University, for 16 consecutive years, Montgomery has set a winning streak every year.
And how many 18 years can there be in life? It can be said that most of Montgomery's coaching career has been contributed to Stanford University.
For the title of Stanford University basketball godfather, Montgomery deserves it!
And it is because Montgomery is a basketball lunatic, otherwise, if he wants to return to Stanford University to continue coaching, no matter who the current head coach of Stanford University is, this position, as long as Montgomery wants to go back, it will always be his.
Unless the old coach K decides to switch to Stanford University, then Montgomery may have to wait for a while.
"Sorry, I, Liu Rui, am not good at anything, but there is only one thing that is good, and that is to do what I say!"
Seeing that the old Curry in front of him was obviously not calm, Liu Rui felt that it was enough to say so much.
Originally, I still had a backup, but Liu Rui felt that I couldn't continue talking, otherwise the old Curry would easily slam, and if I went back, I would be guilty...
"This..., this..., how do you ask me to thank you, Coach Liu Rui, I'm really, I'm so excited now! I don't even know what I should say!"
Having received Liu Rui's promise, the old Curry was already incoherent with excitement.
No wonder Dell Curry is so excited, because Liu Rui's words are like the existence of God to the Dell Curry family at present
It is not an exaggeration to say that it gave Stephen Curry hope in his basketball career.
And if it is someone else, maybe Dell Curry will still feel some doubts, but for Montgomery, as long as people who pay attention to the NCAA, I am afraid no one will be stupid enough to doubt Montgomery's status.
If the old coach K belongs to the top of the NCAA pyramid, then under him, there must be Montgomery's name.
And it is such a legendary coach who will indeed serve as Liu Rui's chief assistant coach next season.
So for Liu Rui's words, old Curry didn't have any doubts at all.
"Haha, what I said is of course true, but I also have a small request right now."
Hearing Dell Curry's words, Liu Rui felt that the time was almost here, and he finally expressed his purpose for coming this time.
"Tell me, Coach Liu Rui, as long as I can help you, I'm happy to help."
Old Curry also knew that Liu Rui was willing to agree to such a big thing, so he must have something to ask for his help.
Although he was puzzled, what could he do to help Liu Rui? It was impossible for him to come back to play, right? !
But for Dell Curry, no matter how important Liu Rui asked him to help, it is definitely not as important as his son's future.
"Don't be nervous, it's actually not a big deal. You know, the Bobcats are a newly established team, and most of the teams are young players."
"But since you are also an NBA player, you should be very clear that my tactical system basically uses the perimeter as the offensive end point."
"So for three-pointers, I am very dependent on them. Although the players in the current team are good at three-pointers, they are far from meeting my expectations."
"So, I think you, as the shooting coach of the Bobcats, can be responsible for instructing the players on the shooting of three-pointers."
"In this regard, you definitely have a lot of say. Although there is coach Cole in the team, it is impossible for him to be busy with such a big team alone."
"And in my opinion, you and Cole can be said to have their own strengths and weaknesses. If players can receive training from the two of you at the same time, then this shooting training is absolutely terrifying."
After laying the groundwork for so long, Liu Rui finally expressed his thoughts.
And Liu Rui is not worried that Dell Curry will refuse, after all, for Dell Curry, he is currently unemployed.
Although he is not particularly short of money, he can get a job he is good at, get a good salary, and help his son's future. Obviously, no one will refuse such a request.
"You startled me. I thought it was a big deal. Of course this kind of thing is okay. After all, the only thing I can help the players is the three-pointer."
"only…"
Dell Curry didn't even think about it. When he heard that he was helping players with three-point shooting training, this was simply his specialty.
However, afterward, he seemed to think of something, and he hesitated to speak.
Seeing Dell Curry's expression, Liu Rui probably knew what he was thinking at the moment.
"I know you're worried that both of your sons are in high school, and you don't have to worry about that."
"This year, you can temporarily join the Bobcats as a shooting consultant. When you are free, you can mention the players' shooting. When you are free, you can go home and guide Stephen's shooting."
"And when Stephen goes to college, you can rest assured, because when you go to college, there will be professionals for training, and basically you won't be needed."
Of course Liu Rui knew what Dell Curry was thinking, and now Stephen was about to go to college.
Dell Curry is afraid that he will go to Charlotte this time, and he will not take care of his two sons here.
Although Liu Rui said that he would help Stephen enter Stanford University anyway, and Dell Curry was absolutely convinced of his words.
But after all, no matter what, when it comes to the basketball court, everything must be based on strength.
After arriving in college, the old Curry may not be able to help his son, everything depends on his personal efforts.
But in high school, Curry still hoped to help his son lay some foundations.
"Great! But it's a bit ashamed to say it. You have thought about all these things so thoughtfully, but what I can help you is really so limited."
Hearing Liu Rui's words, Curry was also very happy. After all, his last doubt was resolved.
But then, I felt a little embarrassed. Since Liu Rui came, it seems that Liu Rui has been helping me, but what I can give back to Liu Rui is very limited.
"Don't say that. I have admired your three-pointers for a long time. I only hope that you can help young players a lot in your usual shooting training."
"Being able to increase their shooting percentage, even if it is [-]%, is the greatest help to me."
Although in Dell Curry's view, Liu Rui paid a lot, but only Liu Rui knew that what he helped him was just a matter of one sentence.
But the rewards I can get are obviously very huge.
In his previous life, before Stephen Curry really stepped into his peak season, although his three-point shooting percentage had remained above [-]%, it was far from as lethal as it was later.
It is precisely because at that time, although he shot accurately, he did not change his shooting posture, and his shooting speed was still at the normal level of the league.
Until Dell Curry personally helped his eldest son change his posture, which made Curry's shots faster.
Curry can throw the ball from any position with just a pick-and-roll, or a little inattention.
Therefore, interested fans will also find that at some moments, Curry's shots are more like pushing the ball out.
But this kind of shooting method, while the shot is fast, is also so accurate.
This is why, even though Curry's three-pointers are so threatening and his shots are so accurate, it still can't be called a shooting textbook.
As for the three-point shooting textbook, Ray Allen and Thompson have always been used as role models.
It is because of Curry's shooting posture and shooting point that ordinary people really cannot imitate it.
And Stephen Curry, who can keep the three-pointer shooting rate above 40%, can go one step further. This is Dell Curry's excavation of the three-pointer.
And this is one of the reasons why Liu Rui wanted to hire Dell Curry as the team's shooting coach at all costs.
If we say that in history, Cole's three-point shooting is stable and accurate.
Curry's three-pointers are fast and accurate.
Mo Williams and Martin in the team are obviously more suitable to learn from Curry.
Joe Johnson and Granger are more suitable to learn from Cole.
As for Lu Wei? !
Sorry, he is only suitable to learn from Crazy Fan...
"Don't worry, I will definitely teach those young people how to shoot. After all, I dare not say anything else, but I still have great confidence in three-pointers."
"And to be honest, I have always wanted to compete with Cole. This time I am afraid that I have the opportunity to compete every day."
"Hearing what you said, I really hope to teach one with Cole, and finally compare to see who is more accurate in what we teach, haha."
"Haha."
Hearing Dell Curry's words, Liu Rui also laughed, and made up the picture in his head, I'm afraid it's really interesting.
But Liu Rui wants to say one more thing to Dell Curry, it's not just the two of you.
Instead, add a lunatic Fan, let's see what the three of you taught, who is more accurate! !
Thinking about it, Liu Rui couldn't help laughing.
I made up the picture again, if Madman Fan got mad, then there would be no need to compete, just award the champion directly.
If Crazy Fan doesn't have convulsions, sorry, there's no need to compare, because he will announce his automatic retirement...
...............
April 8
A week ago, I had a long chat with Dell Curry at his home.
After Liu Rui finished his work, he said he wanted to leave, but old Curry insisted on inviting Liu Rui to dinner.
In the end, Liu Rui couldn't shirk it, so he had a meal with Curry, and the two chatted for a while, and Liu Rui found out through chatting.
For the three-pointer to be so accurate, the old Curry has also put in far more efforts than ordinary people.
What's more, in order to make his shots faster and more explosive, the old Curry would tie his hands with five kilograms of sandbags in his usual training.
One left and one hand each, which adds up to 10 kilograms, and then use the arm tied with sandbags to shoot.
At the beginning, it must be one shot and one shot, and one shot and one shot.
But after non-stop shooting training, when will the old Curry be able to carry a 10 kg sandbag to ensure the shooting rate of three-pointers, and then remove it.
And because it has just been removed, it will be difficult to control the strength, so it will cause great strength after each ball is thrown.
Some hit the backboard directly, and sometimes they shot directly over the backboard.
So after a long period of adjustments, when can the three-point shooting rate be guaranteed again without sandbags.
Then the training results this time are regarded as a group.
When hearing Dell Curry say this at first, Liu Rui thought it would be over after training like this once.
Because in liu rui's view, this is already regarded as training by the devil, which is simply too difficult to be human.
After putting on and taking off sandbags every time, I am afraid that it will be difficult for players to adapt to this process without throwing thousands of balls.
As a result, the old Curry said, this is just a group..., a group...
Then, after repeated training through this method, until the muscles form muscle memory, a habit will be formed when shooting, and you will not be afraid of long-distance three-point shots.
You can use a small pick-and-roll in the game to quickly push the ball out, thus forming a fast and accurate method.
Hearing Dell Curry's method, Liu Rui's scalp tingled.
Although this training method does not sound high-end at all, it can feel hard work just by sounding it. Of course, Liu Rui will not question the final training results.
Because Liu Rui, who has the perspective of God, knows better than anyone else that Curry and everyone are more accurate than one three-pointer.
Even his younger brother Seth Curry, who has average achievements in the NBA, is terrifyingly accurate in terms of three-pointers alone.
At least in the NBA arena, I haven't heard of any team that dares to let the Curry family shoot.
Not to mention letting them shoot, it means that when facing Curry, whether it is a big Curry or a small Curry, they will be very good at defending off the ball.
This obviously has a lot to do with their father.
Although I don't know whether Curry, big or small, has experienced the hellish training of Dell Curry when he was young.
But at least Liu Rui knew that his shots were really accurate! !

(End of this chapter)
Liu Rui sat at home eating bread and drinking milk slowly.
The last piece of the puzzle for the team is of course important, but Liu Rui has 200% confidence to solve it.
So at this time, there was no rush at all. After breakfast, Liu Rui took out his mobile phone and found the text message record with the general manager Smith.
There was a phone number in it, and Liu Rui chose to call it directly.
beep-beep-beep
"Hello? Who is it?"
"I am the head coach of the Bobcats, and my name is Liu Rui."
"What Rui?! Damn! Liu Rui?!"
Liu Rui heard a crackling sound from over there, it sounded like the phone had dropped to the ground.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my hand slipped and I didn't catch it. Coach Liu Rui, what do you want from me?"
"Then let's make a long story short. I'm calling you, and you must know why. And I also know that so far, no one has offered you a contract."
"And the Bobcats' style of play coincides with yours, so I can offer you a one-year contract, and I think you can consider it."
Sitting on the sofa, Liu Rui looked at the newspaper in his hand, wanting to see if he still exists in the latest scandal...
"No! Don't think about it, I think I'm very suitable, so it's decided, when will we sign the contract?!"
"........."
………………
It was Nick Van Exel, the famous "Fan Crazy" in the NBA, who had a phone call with Liu Rui before! !
Once shot through the peak king with his own strength, and beat Jordan with one hand in the game, "Fan Crazy", the first nerve knife in NBA history!
Crazy Fan played for the Portland Trail Blazers last season. As the team's best sixth man, his task on the court is to grab points.
He also averaged 11 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists per game.
And such a result, it is still not possible to wait for a contract this season. Of course, there are many reasons for this.
First of all, Crazy Fan is 34 years old and is already a proper league veteran.
And his style of play is simply intolerable for a team that strictly requires discipline.
The weirdest thing is that in the last season, Fan Fanzi was the only player in the league who averaged more than 15 minutes per game, but his shooting percentage was indeed lower than his three-point shooting percentage...
Last season, Madman Fan's field goal percentage was only 38.1%, but his three-point field goal percentage was as high as 38.9%.
As for why this happens, I can only tell you, just get used to it!
Someone once asked, what kind of positions can be covered by Fan Fan's shooting hotspots on the court.
If someone asks Liu Rui this question, Liu Rui can only tell him that Madman Fan has no shooting hot spots on the court.
When he feels good, any place after halftime is a hot spot for shooting. When he feels bad, even if you put him under the basket, he will also hit the iron.
Such a willful and powerful player.
After all, the nickname of "Crazy Fan" is by no means accidental...
Moreover, it is precisely because of Madman Fan's strange style of play, coupled with his advanced age, that his movement speed on the defensive end can no longer keep up with the young people on the outside.
This also led to no team having contacted him this season.
So Liu Rui knew this very well, so he was not in a hurry.
In the previous life, when the regular season was about to start, the Spurs reluctantly gave Crazy Fan a veteran's basic salary contract.
And when Crazy Fan joined a disciplined team like the Spurs, one can imagine the end.
This also led to, after the Spurs ended a season, Fan Maniac could only face retirement in the end.
The reason why Liu Rui wanted to sign him was not so much because of his contribution on the court, but more because he wanted him to grow up with Lu Wei and Mo Williams.
This man, who can exchange one with Jordan when he has a fit, has survived in the league for so many years, not only relying on his hand feeling when he has a fit.
But on the offensive end, Fan Maniac can throw the ball in various ways.
Crazy Fan's offense is adequate, and what he's been talking about is his offensive options.
After all, it's hard to pray that a madman will think seriously on the court.
For the Bobcats, who are focused on disrupting the battle, Fan Fan's experience can quickly help Lu Wei and Mo Williams to grow.
And in Liu Rui's tactical system, Madman Fan can indeed be seamlessly connected without any fusion.
And this phone call, as Liu Rui expected, went surprisingly smoothly.
After all, getting a contract is not easy for Madman Fan today.
What's more, it is still a team like the Bobcats who already play the same way, and there is no one in a million.
And with this "I am invincible under Jordan, and I am one-for-one above Jordan" fan lunatic decided to join.
So this season, the Bobcats' 15-man roster is also completely determined.
Thinking about the lineup he will lead next season in his mind, Liu Rui also frowned.
If this lineup feels better..., damn it!ruthless!So cruel! !
But if this lineup doesn't feel good..., damn it!ruthless!So cruel! !
...............
April 8
With the basic completion of this season's operation, at this time, Liu Rui finally ushered in his own rest time.
Next, you just need to find a way to run-in the team's new players.
Then wait until October, when the preseason for the new season will begin.
However, Liu Rui directly handed over the matter of running in tactics and players to Montgomery.
After all, he wanted to play outside tactics, and now he has a place to play. Liu Rui decided to give him more power.
Well, it was actually Liu Ruilan, so I handed it over to Montgomery...
But how to say, this NCAA basketball godfather is definitely not a vegetarian.
The reason why Liu Rui spent this offseason was to put together a new coaching staff for the Bobcats.
Just to be able to relax more while coaching, but when Montgomery heard Liu Rui's request, he was actually very happy to let him study the style of play for the new season first? !
Liu Rui's work was handed over to him, and then Montgomery had to thank Liu Rui.
Of course Liu Rui would not refuse such a good deed...
And with the end of this period of time, Liu Rui finally ushered in his real holiday.
As of now, the team's lineup configuration is basically complete.
The next thing to do is to let Cole accompany the players in three-point shooting training, and a few people led by Montgomery will run-in the team's tactics.
Liu Rui set goals for himself throughout the offseason, and now there is only one thing left to complete, but Liu Rui is not in a hurry about this matter.
After all, for Liu Rui, it was only a few days that could really allow him to have a good rest.
Because regardless of whether Montgomery can complete the team's affairs alone, as the team's head coach, Liu Rui must take a proper rest and return to the court to find a way to make the new lineup run-in.
Originally, Liu Rui was always worried that the team's lineup was not perfect enough, and there were still too few people available under him.
But with the arrival of the new season, Liu Rui is a little worried again. There are too many people who can use him, which is also an annoyance...
...............
April 8
Liu Rui, who had been resting at home for a few days, seized the opportunity to catch up on a good night's sleep these days.
After all, after the start of the season, if you want to sleep in, you will no longer have this opportunity.
As for Liu Rui's arrangement for himself throughout the offseason, there is only the last one left.
Of course, this matter can also be said to be dispensable for the Bobcats.
Because even if they don't come, the Bobcats will not have any impact, but if they can come, it will indeed have some benefits for the Bobcats.
As for this point, Liu Rui also has great confidence, so he has been calm and pressed at the end.
Even his confidence in him was greater than his confidence in taking down Madman Fan.
Because he is not a player, what Liu Rui needs him to do is also very simple, it can be said that it is easy to do.
Early in the morning, Liu Rui first took a plane, then transferred to a car, and finally arrived in Harrisburg, Virginia after a bumpy journey.
There is only a river between here and the capital Washington, so it can be said that it is not far away.
After getting off the car, according to the address Smith's mobile phone sent him, Liu Rui also took a taxi to go directly.
In the car, Liu Rui also dialed this number.
beep-beep-beep
"Hi, hello, who are you looking for?"
A man's voice came from the other end of the phone. The voice was relatively stable and gentle, and he was obviously a man with a good family education.
"Hehe, your eldest son should be in his third year of high school. Are you ready for which college he will apply for?"
Sitting in the taxi, Liu Rui answered irrelevant questions and said.
"Huh?! Excuse me, who are you?!"
The voice on the other end of the phone was obviously a little confused, but he really couldn't tell who made the call to him.
"I am the head coach of the Bobcats, and my name is Liu Rui."
In the taxi, Liu Rui felt that he should be almost confused, so he directly reported his family name.
"Coach Liu Rui?!"
Apparently, the person on the other end was also a little surprised, obviously he didn't expect that Liu Rui would actually call him.
You know, the two of them had never communicated before.
And Liu Rui even asked about his son's condition on the phone, which made him even more confused.
But then, he suddenly thought of something again, and the whole person seemed to become very excited.
"Are you really Coach Liu Rui?!!!"
"Haha, don't get excited, of course I am Liu Rui, the fake head coach Liu Rui, why do you all like to ask me this kind of question?"
"The name Liu Rui should be rare, haha."
Hearing the voice on the other end of the phone became a little excited, Liu Rui also knew that his goal had been achieved.
Because no one knows better than Liu Rui that at this time, this person is worried about his son's future.
"Okay, long story short, I'm taking a taxi to your house right now, if you're free, I think we can sit down and talk face to face."
"Free, free, you came so early, I don't have time to prepare something, and you didn't say hello in advance before you came."
Hearing that Liu Rui had already taken a taxi to his home, it was obvious that while being surprised, he was also flattered.
Because although he is a veteran who has retired in the league, compared to Liu Rui, the influence of the two in the NBA is really indescribable.
And Liu Rui had talked about his son's problem before, and he didn't think that his son's talent would be noticed by Liu Rui at first glance.
After all, it was a problem for his son to apply for the university.
But now he heard that Liu Rui had come here on his own initiative, which obviously surprised him very much.
And what really excited him was that Liu Rui actually knew about his son, obviously he also had some understanding of his son.
And it just so happens that Liu Rui is one of the best coaches in the league who can coach three-pointers.
This made him even more excited. Even though he didn't know what Liu Rui's purpose in looking for him was, it didn't affect his excitement at all.
"Haha, I guess I'll be here soon, so let's meet and talk face to face later."
After hanging up the phone, Liu Rui also shook his head.
Hearing the tone on the other side, he was obviously more excited than himself. It seemed that he might still underestimate his identity as a time traveler.
After sitting for about ten minutes, the taxi stopped by the side of the road. Liu Rui paid the fare. After getting out of the car, he glanced at both sides, wondering what he was thinking while standing by the side of the road.
In the distance, when he saw Liu Rui getting out of the car, he rushed towards Liu Rui excitedly.
"Coach Liu Rui, this! This!"
After Liu Rui got off the car, he just wanted to take out his phone and make another call.
He heard someone calling himself, and when he looked back, he found that he was already walking towards him.
Seeing this scene, Liu Rui smiled helplessly. This guy was even more anxious than himself.
And the person who came to Liu Rui was none other than Dell Curry, a retired veteran in the league and known as a marksman! !
Dell Curry just retired a few years ago, and after retiring, he has been teaching his two sons at home.
His eldest son is Stephen Curry, who is well-known in later generations.
And Curry is currently in high school, and will apply for college next year, but because of his current thin stature, he looks very weak.
Liu Rui knows very well that after graduating from high school, Stephen Curry participated in the basketball training camp of Duke University.
Hope to join this famous basketball school, but the old coach K of Duke University and his coaching team agreed that Curry was too thin and short to adapt to the intensity of the NCAA, so they gave up recruiting him.
After that, Dell Curry also searched for several universities in a row, but no surprise, everyone turned Curry away in the end.
Before becoming famous, Curry can be said to be very sad, and no one can accept even if he wants to enter a prestigious NCAA university.
In the end, seeing that the start of school was approaching, Dell Curry had no choice but to find someone to send Stephen Curry to Davidson College.
And what kind of place is Davidson College? !
The entire college covers an area of only 556 acres and is located in a small town called Davidson in North Carolina, yes, yes, it is a small town.
The entire college had only more than 1000 students at that time.
Compared with Duke University, it is no exaggeration to say that it is a heaven and an underground.
Seeing that his eldest son Stephen Curry is about to graduate in one year, Dell Curry is also making more preparations for his son's future in advance.
But there is no doubt that in this case, Dell Curry can only do nothing in the end.
After all, one of Dell Curry's greatest honors during his career as a professional player was winning the best sixth man.
So his honor is not enough for the giants to give him this face.
The purpose of Liu Rui's coming this time is very obvious, of course not for Stephen Curry who is still in high school.
After all, no matter what, Curry is just a kid today.
The real purpose of Liu Rui's coming this time is to ask Dell Curry to return to the Bobcats as a shooting coach.
Although the Bobcats have Cole in the shooting drill today, a three-pointer is famous throughout the history of the league.
But from the perspective of God, Liu Rui's ambition obviously cannot be satisfied so easily.
So I also want to invite the old Curry to the Bobcats. If the young players of the Bobcats can get both Curry and Kerr from beyond the three-point line.
Then this result is obviously very terrifying.
You know, when these two were players, their career three-point shooting percentages were above 40%, and they reached a terrifying nearly 50% in their peak seasons.
The most important thing is that while these two can maintain such a high shooting percentage, it is not because of the small number of three-pointers.
On the contrary, what these two have in common is that they have relied on three-pointers for their meals throughout their careers.
Therefore, even though Dell Curry has retired, he still maintains the historical scoring list of the New Orleans Hornets and is the Hornets' scoring leader.
And most of these points were scored by the old Curry with a three-pointer.
In this era when Curry has not grown up, who can be a good shooting coach in terms of three-point shooting attainments.
Then Cole and Dell Curry are obviously far ahead.
Of course, there is also Reggie Miller who just decided to retire this season, but that guy has a bad mouth and Liu Rui doesn't like him...
"I've been standing by the side of the road for a long time, I'll just call you when I get there, because you came out so early."
"Haha, it's okay, it's okay, sitting at home is boring anyway, I've long wanted to go out for a stroll."
"Please come in quickly, I have already made tea, let's go in and sit on the sofa."
Following Old Curry and two people into the house, they invited Liu Rui on the sofa, and Old Curry poured a cup of tea for Liu Rui himself.
In terms of age alone, old Curry is now in his early 40s, much older than Liu Rui.
But in front of Liu Rui, old Curry did not use age as an issue. After all, this world is realistic. In the face of strength, age can only become a moral constraint.
If it is said that in later generations, after Stephen Curry became famous, then his father, old Curry, also rose with the tide.
But so far, this family is just an ordinary basketball family.
In this era when three-pointers have not been taken seriously, it is obviously difficult for the old Curry's career achievements, this kind of player who relies on three-pointers to make a living, to get too much attention.
Of course, Liu Rui was obviously not included in this.
"Don't be too polite. How about Stephen University? If I remember correctly, he should be graduating from high school next year. Have you decided which university to enroll for him?"
Liu Rui drank tea with a smile, although Liu Rui was very clear about what happened later.
But this didn't affect Liu Rui's pretending to be crazy in front of Lao Kuli. After all, there was no other person in this world who knew about this matter except himself.
"Hey, I used my contacts to contact a few schools before, and they said they would give me a training camp opportunity, but I think the hope is slim, alas..."
"However, Coach Liu Rui, I have always believed that my son will definitely be better than me in the future. Although he is still very thin now, you have to believe that he will definitely achieve something in the future."
In the first half of the sentence, old Curry is of course telling the truth. The reason why he emphasizes the second half of the sentence is also because he is afraid that Liu Rui will look down on his son.
Although he didn't know the purpose of Liu Rui's trip, he asked Stephen right away. Obviously, this trip was also related to basketball.
Old Curry didn't care about what Liu Rui was doing, and finally had this opportunity, so he had to have a good chat anyway.
"Indeed, I also believe that Stephen will be a good player, but you have to admit that it is difficult for him to win the favor of a prestigious university."
"Although this sentence is not pleasant to hear, you should understand very well whether what I said is true."
"Besides, it is indeed a bit abrupt to come here this time, because it came earlier than I expected. Maybe to discuss this issue, I should discuss it with you next year."
Liu Rui didn't finish the next words, picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip by himself.
Liu Rui knew that even if he didn't say anything, Curry would definitely ask after a while.
"Yes, yes, Stephen is definitely a good player in the future, but, hey..."
Shaking his head, the old Curry didn't continue talking.
Picking up the teapot again, he poured a cup of tea for Liu Rui in front of him.
"By the way, Coach Liu Rui, if you come to me this time, there must be something. I don't know if there is something that can make you come here in person."
For Liu Rui's coming, although the old Curry felt puzzled, it was obviously an opportunity for the old Curry.
In this league, if Liu Rui ranks second in coaching three-pointers, no one dares to rank first.
In the last season, the Bobcats ranked first in the league with a big advantage in terms of three-point shots per game and three-pointers per game.
In terms of average three-pointers per game alone, it has almost doubled that of the Sonics, which ranks third in the league.
In the entire league, the only one that is close to the Bobcats is the Golden State Warriors.
But the two teams are closer in the number of [-]-pointers attempted per game, not the number of [-]-pointers made per game.
Moreover, Montgomery has stepped down as the head coach of the Golden State Warriors, so next season, the only team that is close to the Bobcats will no longer exist.
Although Bickerstaff also followed Liu Rui for a season, there must have been a lot of differences in his three-point shots according to his previous life.
However, it is difficult for Bickerstaff to give up his blind coaching style and choose to imitate Liu Rui's tactical system.
In addition to the fact that the Golden State Warriors' lineup does not allow it, it is also because Bickerstaff's coaching philosophy has followed him for decades, and it is impossible to be changed by Liu Rui overnight.
Although what Liu Rui brought to him must have some subconscious assimilation, it was also very limited for Bickerstaff.
"It's nothing, then, since you've already said this, let me say a few words first."
"I'm here to wish your eldest son Stephen Curry a bright future. After Stephen Curry graduates from high school, it may be difficult for him to enter the NCAA giants."
"Of course, you can try again after he graduates. If, as I expected, no school is willing to accept Stephen, then I can find a good place for Stephen."
"I know, you may be confused when I say this, because although my current popularity in the NBA is quite high, it is not enough for me to penetrate the NCAA."
"But you may have overlooked one point. Among my teaching assistants, there is one person, Montgomery!"
"Haha, I think you are familiar with this name. Montgomery is the basketball godfather of NCAA Stanford University."
"He wants to recommend a high school player to enter the university. It can be said to be a matter of one sentence. There is no need for any reason at all, even if this player is a person who can't play basketball!!"
"Although Stanford University is definitely not as good as North Carolina and Duke, it is also a first-tier team, and it can also be called a wealthy team in the NCAA."
"Last year, they were the No. 1000 seed, ranking No. [-] among more than [-] schools in the entire NCAA. I don't think I need to explain what this means."
Liu Rui, who had finished speaking this sentence, obviously had the chance to win.
Familiarity with the historical trajectory of NBA players is, for Liu Rui, choking a person's life.
He knows very well what these players need most and what they desire most at certain stages, and it just so happens that he can give them all.
"What? Coach Liu Rui, are you sure what you said is true and you're not kidding me? Today shouldn't be April Fool's Day, right?"
Hearing Liu Rui's words, Dell Curry was obviously shocked.
The old Curry certainly knew what the Stanford University signboard represented.
And it is clearer what it means to be introduced to the team by Montgomery.
It is no exaggeration to say that being introduced to the team by Montgomery, the godfather of basketball at Stanford University, is probably more meaningful at Stanford University than at Duke and North Carolina.
Because this also means that you will get more playing time under the coach.
And even if they enter Duke and North Carolina, only 60 players are selected by the NBA every year.
Even if you get into a wealthy school, if you don't perform well, you can only fail.
And if he was introduced to the team by the greatest basketball godfather of Stanford University, his status and development in the team would be visible to the naked eye.
And Montgomery's status at Stanford University is simply unshakable, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has been promoted to the altar.
Montgomery was the head coach of Stanford University for the past 18 years before entering the NBA.
During the leadership period, a total of 393 wins and 167 losses were achieved.
And in the last season of the NCAA, Montgomery led Stanford University to a good result of 30 wins and 2 losses.
It included a 26-game winning streak, the 10th 20-game winning streak in American School League history.
In last year's draft, a total of 7 of Montgomery's disciples were selected in the first round.
In October of the previous year, due to Montgomery's outstanding performance, he also won the famous "Legendary Coach" Lifetime Honor Award, becoming the sixth coach in history to receive this award! !
And in his 18-year coaching career at Stanford University, for 16 consecutive years, Montgomery has set a winning streak every year.
And how many 18 years can there be in life? It can be said that most of Montgomery's coaching career has been contributed to Stanford University.
For the title of Stanford University basketball godfather, Montgomery deserves it!
And it is because Montgomery is a basketball lunatic, otherwise, if he wants to return to Stanford University to continue coaching, no matter who the current head coach of Stanford University is, this position, as long as Montgomery wants to go back, it will always be his.
Unless the old coach K decides to switch to Stanford University, then Montgomery may have to wait for a while.
"Sorry, I, Liu Rui, am not good at anything, but there is only one thing that is good, and that is to do what I say!"
Seeing that the old Curry in front of him was obviously not calm, Liu Rui felt that it was enough to say so much.
Originally, I still had a backup, but Liu Rui felt that I couldn't continue talking, otherwise the old Curry would easily slam, and if I went back, I would be guilty...
"This..., this..., how do you ask me to thank you, Coach Liu Rui, I'm really, I'm so excited now! I don't even know what I should say!"
Having received Liu Rui's promise, the old Curry was already incoherent with excitement.
No wonder Dell Curry is so excited, because Liu Rui's words are like the existence of God to the Dell Curry family at present
It is not an exaggeration to say that it gave Stephen Curry hope in his basketball career.
And if it is someone else, maybe Dell Curry will still feel some doubts, but for Montgomery, as long as people who pay attention to the NCAA, I am afraid no one will be stupid enough to doubt Montgomery's status.
If the old coach K belongs to the top of the NCAA pyramid, then under him, there must be Montgomery's name.
And it is such a legendary coach who will indeed serve as Liu Rui's chief assistant coach next season.
So for Liu Rui's words, old Curry didn't have any doubts at all.
"Haha, what I said is of course true, but I also have a small request right now."
Hearing Dell Curry's words, Liu Rui felt that the time was almost here, and he finally expressed his purpose for coming this time.
"Tell me, Coach Liu Rui, as long as I can help you, I'm happy to help."
Old Curry also knew that Liu Rui was willing to agree to such a big thing, so he must have something to ask for his help.
Although he was puzzled, what could he do to help Liu Rui? It was impossible for him to come back to play, right? !
But for Dell Curry, no matter how important Liu Rui asked him to help, it is definitely not as important as his son's future.
"Don't be nervous, it's actually not a big deal. You know, the Bobcats are a newly established team, and most of the teams are young players."
"But since you are also an NBA player, you should be very clear that my tactical system basically uses the perimeter as the offensive end point."
"So for three-pointers, I am very dependent on them. Although the players in the current team are good at three-pointers, they are far from meeting my expectations."
"So, I think you, as the shooting coach of the Bobcats, can be responsible for instructing the players on the shooting of three-pointers."
"In this regard, you definitely have a lot of say. Although there is coach Cole in the team, it is impossible for him to be busy with such a big team alone."
"And in my opinion, you and Cole can be said to have their own strengths and weaknesses. If players can receive training from the two of you at the same time, then this shooting training is absolutely terrifying."
After laying the groundwork for so long, Liu Rui finally expressed his thoughts.
And Liu Rui is not worried that Dell Curry will refuse, after all, for Dell Curry, he is currently unemployed.
Although he is not particularly short of money, he can get a job he is good at, get a good salary, and help his son's future. Obviously, no one will refuse such a request.
"You startled me. I thought it was a big deal. Of course this kind of thing is okay. After all, the only thing I can help the players is the three-pointer."
"only…"
Dell Curry didn't even think about it. When he heard that he was helping players with three-point shooting training, this was simply his specialty.
However, afterward, he seemed to think of something, and he hesitated to speak.
Seeing Dell Curry's expression, Liu Rui probably knew what he was thinking at the moment.
"I know you're worried that both of your sons are in high school, and you don't have to worry about that."
"This year, you can temporarily join the Bobcats as a shooting consultant. When you are free, you can mention the players' shooting. When you are free, you can go home and guide Stephen's shooting."
"And when Stephen goes to college, you can rest assured, because when you go to college, there will be professionals for training, and basically you won't be needed."
Of course Liu Rui knew what Dell Curry was thinking, and now Stephen was about to go to college.
Dell Curry is afraid that he will go to Charlotte this time, and he will not take care of his two sons here.
Although Liu Rui said that he would help Stephen enter Stanford University anyway, and Dell Curry was absolutely convinced of his words.
But after all, no matter what, when it comes to the basketball court, everything must be based on strength.
After arriving in college, the old Curry may not be able to help his son, everything depends on his personal efforts.
But in high school, Curry still hoped to help his son lay some foundations.
"Great! But it's a bit ashamed to say it. You have thought about all these things so thoughtfully, but what I can help you is really so limited."
Hearing Liu Rui's words, Curry was also very happy. After all, his last doubt was resolved.
But then, I felt a little embarrassed. Since Liu Rui came, it seems that Liu Rui has been helping me, but what I can give back to Liu Rui is very limited.
"Don't say that. I have admired your three-pointers for a long time. I only hope that you can help young players a lot in your usual shooting training."
"Being able to increase their shooting percentage, even if it is [-]%, is the greatest help to me."
Although in Dell Curry's view, Liu Rui paid a lot, but only Liu Rui knew that what he helped him was just a matter of one sentence.
But the rewards I can get are obviously very huge.
In his previous life, before Stephen Curry really stepped into his peak season, although his three-point shooting percentage had remained above [-]%, it was far from as lethal as it was later.
It is precisely because at that time, although he shot accurately, he did not change his shooting posture, and his shooting speed was still at the normal level of the league.
Until Dell Curry personally helped his eldest son change his posture, which made Curry's shots faster.
Curry can throw the ball from any position with just a pick-and-roll, or a little inattention.
Therefore, interested fans will also find that at some moments, Curry's shots are more like pushing the ball out.
But this kind of shooting method, while the shot is fast, is also so accurate.
This is why, even though Curry's three-pointers are so threatening and his shots are so accurate, it still can't be called a shooting textbook.
As for the three-point shooting textbook, Ray Allen and Thompson have always been used as role models.
It is because of Curry's shooting posture and shooting point that ordinary people really cannot imitate it.
And Stephen Curry, who can keep the three-pointer shooting rate above 40%, can go one step further. This is Dell Curry's excavation of the three-pointer.
And this is one of the reasons why Liu Rui wanted to hire Dell Curry as the team's shooting coach at all costs.
If we say that in history, Cole's three-point shooting is stable and accurate.
Curry's three-pointers are fast and accurate.
Mo Williams and Martin in the team are obviously more suitable to learn from Curry.
Joe Johnson and Granger are more suitable to learn from Cole.
As for Lu Wei? !
Sorry, he is only suitable to learn from Crazy Fan...
"Don't worry, I will definitely teach those young people how to shoot. After all, I dare not say anything else, but I still have great confidence in three-pointers."
"And to be honest, I have always wanted to compete with Cole. This time I am afraid that I have the opportunity to compete every day."
"Hearing what you said, I really hope to teach one with Cole, and finally compare to see who is more accurate in what we teach, haha."
"Haha."
Hearing Dell Curry's words, Liu Rui also laughed, and made up the picture in his head, I'm afraid it's really interesting.
But Liu Rui wants to say one more thing to Dell Curry, it's not just the two of you.
Instead, add a lunatic Fan, let's see what the three of you taught, who is more accurate! !
Thinking about it, Liu Rui couldn't help laughing.
I made up the picture again, if Madman Fan got mad, then there would be no need to compete, just award the champion directly.
If Crazy Fan doesn't have convulsions, sorry, there's no need to compare, because he will announce his automatic retirement...

April 8
A week ago, I had a long chat with Dell Curry at his home.
After Liu Rui finished his work, he said he wanted to leave, but old Curry insisted on inviting Liu Rui to dinner.
In the end, Liu Rui couldn't shirk it, so he had a meal with Curry, and the two chatted for a while, and Liu Rui found out through chatting.
For the three-pointer to be so accurate, the old Curry has also put in far more efforts than ordinary people.
What's more, in order to make his shots faster and more explosive, the old Curry would tie his hands with five kilograms of sandbags in his usual training.
One left and one hand each, which adds up to 10 kilograms, and then use the arm tied with sandbags to shoot.
At the beginning, it must be one shot and one shot, and one shot and one shot.
But after non-stop shooting training, when will the old Curry be able to carry a 10 kg sandbag to ensure the shooting rate of three-pointers, and then remove it.
And because it has just been removed, it will be difficult to control the strength, so it will cause great strength after each ball is thrown.
Some hit the backboard directly, and sometimes they shot directly over the backboard.
So after a long period of adjustments, when can the three-point shooting rate be guaranteed again without sandbags.
Then the training results this time are regarded as a group.
When hearing Dell Curry say this at first, Liu Rui thought it would be over after training like this once.
Because in liu rui's view, this is already regarded as training by the devil, which is simply too difficult to be human.
After putting on and taking off sandbags every time, I am afraid that it will be difficult for players to adapt to this process without throwing thousands of balls.
As a result, the old Curry said, this is just a group..., a group...
Then, after repeated training through this method, until the muscles form muscle memory, a habit will be formed when shooting, and you will not be afraid of long-distance three-point shots.
You can use a small pick-and-roll in the game to quickly push the ball out, thus forming a fast and accurate method.
Hearing Dell Curry's method, Liu Rui's scalp tingled.
Although this training method does not sound high-end at all, it can feel hard work just by sounding it. Of course, Liu Rui will not question the final training results.
Because Liu Rui, who has the perspective of God, knows better than anyone else that Curry and everyone are more accurate than one three-pointer.
Even his younger brother Seth Curry, who has average achievements in the NBA, is terrifyingly accurate in terms of three-pointers alone.
At least in the NBA arena, I haven't heard of any team that dares to let the Curry family shoot.
Not to mention letting them shoot, it means that when facing Curry, whether it is a big Curry or a small Curry, they will be very good at defending off the ball.
This obviously has a lot to do with their father.
Although I don't know whether Curry, big or small, has experienced the hellish training of Dell Curry when he was young.
But at least Liu Rui knew that his shots were really accurate! !
