NBA: I'm really just an ordinary coach

The next day.

Tang Feng went to the restaurant to eat early as usual, ran to the training ground and stayed for half an hour before walking towards his office.

From a distance.

Tang Feng saw a graceful figure standing outside his office.

About 1.75 meters tall, wearing high heels, she looked very tall.

The breathtaking curves and dazzling golden waves under the knee-length black dress gave people a visual impact. It seemed that this woman was looking for him.

But in his memory, he didn't know such a woman.

As if she had noticed something, the woman turned her head.

When she saw Tang Feng, her eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on her delicate face.

Without the slightest hesitation.

The woman walked quickly towards Tang Feng and greeted him enthusiastically:"Hello, Mr. Tang, my name is Julia Hall, Mr. Allen asked me to find you."

So that's it.

According to his requirements, he thought that the person Paul Allen found for him would be at least in his thirties, or even older, but he never thought that she was so young.

This was indeed somewhat beyond his expectations.

Suppressing his surprise, Tang Feng smiled and walked forward and said,"Hello, Miss Hall, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

"No, no, no, I just got here not long ago." Julia smiled and said,"I just met Mr. Pritchard. He was very enthusiastic. He wanted someone to inform you, but I declined him and chose to wait for you here."

Tang Feng nodded secretly.

This woman named Julia is a smart person.

In just one sentence, she praised Pritchard and showed her sincerity.

"Facing a beauty like you, I think any man would be very enthusiastic."Tang Feng teased, and said with a smile:"Let's go, let's go to the office to talk."

Julia's eyes flashed with brilliance, and she smiled and nodded.

Walking into the office

"Please take a seat." Tang Feng stretched out his hand and said,"Coffee, tea, or water?"

"Coffee."

He made a cup of coffee for Julia, and Tang Feng made a cup of tea. Then, he sat on the sofa.

"Thank you." Julia smiled and thanked him. She straightened her face and said seriously,"This is what Mr. Allen asked me to pass on to you.

Mr. Allen told me that you need someone who understands economics and investment. I just graduated from the Wharton School of Business in Pennsylvania this year. I know a little about economics and investment, so I should be able to help you."

Tang Feng took the file bag handed over by Julia, put it on the table, and said,"You can graduate from the Wharton School of Business. Your ability is enough to meet my requirements. I will also give you a salary that will satisfy you."

"Thank you very much for your generosity."Julia smiled and said,"However, before this, Mr. Allen has already paid me one year's salary in advance, so I can't ask for your salary anymore."

Tang Feng shook his head and said,"You are here to help me, and it is only natural to pay you a salary. As for the salary that Mr. Allen paid you in advance, you can do it yourself."

Julia raised her eyebrows slightly, and then returned to normal, smiling and said,"I understand, I will return Mr. Allen's salary to him."

Tang Feng nodded and continued,"Although you were recommended by Mr. Allen, he may have told you, but I still think it is necessary to say my requirements and ideas.

Being able to graduate from Wharton Business School and be recognized by Mr. Allen and recommended to me is enough to prove your ability.

However, compared with ability, I value character more.

What I have to do is more or less sensitive compared to my current identity, and I am not the kind of person who is ostentatious.

Low-key, the lower the better, it is best if no one knows.

So, I ask you to keep your mouth shut, this is the basis of our cooperation"

"It is my duty to protect the privacy of my clients." Julia said seriously:"Even if Mr. Allen has been very kind to me, I will not disclose your privacy to him without your permission."

""A favor as heavy as a mountain?" Tang Feng raised his eyebrows and asked

"When I was very young, my parents died in a shooting case. It was Mr. Allen who took me in and supported me until I was admitted to Harvard Business School, received a full scholarship, and became financially independent."

Without his help, there would be no me today. In my eyes, he has long been my father." Julia said slowly.

Tang Feng nodded and said,"He is a good man. Like you, he has helped me a lot. I can sit here thanks to him."

A strange color flashed in Julia's deep eyes, but Julia did not say much. Instead, she changed the subject and said,"Mr. Allen also asked me to tell you that if your investment is not going well, he can lend you some money as an advance payment for your future salary."

"He is trying to tie me to the Trail Blazers."Tang Feng said with a noncommittal smile.

As he spoke, Tang Feng stood up, walked to the desk, and took out a card from the drawer.

"This is all my belongings, there are 15 million in it, and I will leave it to you to take care of it from now on."Sitting back on the sofa again, Tang Feng put the card on the table in front of Julia and said,"As for the salary, you can withdraw whatever Mr. Allen gave you from this card." After a slight pause,

Tang Feng continued,"You should know about the World Championships."

Julia, who was still secretly surprised, heard Tang Feng's words, nodded quickly and said,"Indianapolis World Championships?"

Tang Feng replied,"Yes, the first thing I want you to do is to place a bet through your own channels. The first stage of the World Championships group stage has ended, and there will be a focus battle in the second stage. The Dream Team 5 will play against the Argentine men's basketball team. I want you to bet on the loss of the Dream Team 5."

"Oh, damn, bet on the Dream Team 5 to lose?!!"Julia looked at Tang Feng in disbelief and said in shock:"I don't mean to offend you. I don't pay much attention to basketball, but I know that since the establishment of the Dream Team 1, it has never lost a game, whether it is the Olympics or the World Championships.

Is it too risky to bet on the Dream Team 5 to lose?"

"All investments are risky. The greater the risk, the greater the return, isn't it?"Tang Feng said with a noncommittal smile.

"That's true, but the risk is too great."Julia said with a wry smile.

After she finished speaking, seeing that Tang Feng had no intention of changing his mind, Julia asked helplessly:"Okay, how much do you plan to buy?"

Tang Feng said directly:"Bet as much as you can, the more the better"

""Shit, shit, are you crazy?!!"Julia stood up suddenly and screamed.

Sitting on the sofa, watching the mountain peaks rise and fall violently with Julia's sudden movement, Tang Feng narrowed his eyes slightly.

His gaze stayed for only a moment, Tang Feng leaned back, leaned on the sofa, hugged his arms on his chest, looked at Julia and said:"Julia, this is the second time you have questioned my decision in a short period of time.

Although I also know that you are kind, but I don't need such kindness.

If you think I am not worthy of you working for me, the door is over there.

As for Mr. Allen, don't worry, he won't blame you for this."

Hearing this, a trace of anger emerged on Julia's face, and the ups and downs of the mountain became more and more violent. They stared at each other for about ten seconds.

Julia bit her red lips, sat down, and said in a cold voice:"Although the World Championships are far less popular than the World Cup, the amount of bets received worldwide is also very considerable. Your little money, if invested all at once, may cause some waves, but if you spread the bets, it will not attract any attention.

I am still confident of this.

I have given my advice, and I can't do anything if you don't adopt it. I just hope that after the game, you don't regret it, and don't put the blame on me."

"This is my own choice, and it has nothing to do with you."Tang Feng smiled calmly and said,"As for your salary, you can take it in advance, so that you don't have to worry about it when you place your bets. If you are still worried, we can sign a contract now."

"I will take the salary, and there is no need for a contract."Julia sneered and said,"If you have nothing else to do, I will prepare the bet now."

""Go ahead." Tang Feng said.

Hearing this, Julia walked out of the office without looking back.

Looking at Julia's back, Tang Feng showed a playful smile on his face.

Perhaps Julia was much better than him in professional ability, but it was only limited to the specific operation.

For example, betting.

Julia could put all the money in without causing any trouble.���It is difficult for him to pay attention.

As for the general direction, it is no exaggeration to say that no matter how many Julias are added together, they are not enough in front of him. At this moment, Tang Feng couldn't help but become a little interested.

When the game is over, I don't know how Julia will react. I think it should be very exciting....

Three days later, on September 4, Julia satisfied Tang Feng's curiosity.

Half an hour before the start of the focus game, Julia came to the Rose Garden Arena again.

The head coach's office

""Knock, knock, knock."

Hearing the sudden knock on the door, the five people in the office who had just raised their glasses couldn't help but look towards the door.

The Trail Blazers training camp has been going on for two months.

After two months, everyone except Tang Feng is visibly tired.

Not to mention the players.

The voices of the three assistant coaches, Thibodeau, D'Antoni and Vogel, have been hoarse for half a month.

Although Tang Feng is eager to achieve results, he also understands the principle of too much is as bad as too little. The team's head trainer Aaron Nelson also suggested that the players take a proper rest.

So, after today's training, Tang Feng decided to give the team a day off.

Aaron Nelson had other arrangements and left early.

Thibodeau and other three assistant coaches stayed to watch the game together, just like the previous few days.

The team has a day off tomorrow, which is also a rare opportunity to relax. Tang Feng made a temporary decision to call Pritchard, who had not left yet, and set up a table in his office for everyone to drink and chat.

Unexpectedly, just as everything was done here, and before they even started eating, someone came

"Please come in."

As Tang Feng finished speaking, the door of the room was opened.

When they saw Julia, both Tang Feng and the other four were stunned.

Julia did not expect that there were so many people in Tang Feng's office, and judging from the situation, this was a small party. For a moment, she was also stunned.

Pritchard was the first to react. He stood up and said with a smile:"Ms. Hall, hello, we meet again."

"Hello, Mr. Pritchard. Julia came back to her senses and responded politely.

""Tom, what did you tell me just now?" Pritchard turned his head and looked at Tom Thibodeau, raising his eyebrows while speaking.

Tom Thibodeau was stunned.

Instead, D'Antoni next to him reacted and said seriously:"Kevin, I think it is necessary for us to add two more assistant coaches."

Pritchard nodded seriously and replied:"Team training is extremely important and can't be sloppy. Let's talk in my office."

While speaking, he kicked Vogel next to him with his foot, and Vogel poked Thibodeau with understanding.

Seeing that Thibodeau still hadn't reacted, the three of them simply stopped talking and dragged Thibodeau out of the office.

Tang Feng naturally saw the actions of the four people.

From beginning to end, he didn't stop them.

The game is about to start, and Julia came at this time, she must be here to talk to him about betting.���

Compared to chatting with Pritchard and the other four, he was more concerned about the matter at hand.

As for what Pritchard and the other four thought, it didn't matter.

"Come in." Tang Feng greeted,"I just happened to have a table of food here. If you haven't eaten yet, sit down and chat while you eat."

Julia glanced at the backs of Pritchard and the other four who were 'slowly' leaving. Without saying much, she walked into the room, then closed the door, sat on the sofa, and said,"Just now, the last bet was completed. In three days, 14 million was bet on the Dream Team 5 to lose in various ways from 15 countries. The remaining one million, in addition to my salary and the expenses needed for the bet, there are still 380,000 left."

Looking at the fatigue on Julia's face that could not be concealed by the light makeup, Tang Feng nodded and said,"Thank you for your hard work. If I bet right by chance in this game, the remaining 380,000 will be your reward."

Julia frowned slightly and said,"I have taken the money that belongs to me, and I don't need any additional compensation"

"You did a good job, so I'll give you this as a reward." Tang Feng said calmly,"After all, I've worked hard, so I'll eat all the meat, and you can drink some soup." His calm tone gave people confidence.

It was as if the game had already ended before it even started.

"you...Are you so confident that you can win?"

"The game is about to start, let's wait and see." Tang Feng said:"If you haven't eaten yet, you can eat while watching. Of course, if you want to drink something, do it yourself. You don't have to be restrained here."

Julia, who hadn't eaten yet, didn't say anything, just nodded and started to act.
