You'd better wrap me

Chapter 104 We are going to make a fortune
The next day, October [-]th, at two o'clock in the afternoon.

The Clippers held a media meeting for the new season at the training base. The staff carefully arranged nearly 20 chairs, but only more than [-] reporters were present.

The whole venue looked empty.

It was four months ago that Su Yang came to the Clippers because of the shocking deal.

The heat is over.

The key is that the Lakers in the same city, as if by coincidence, held a press conference at the Toyota Center not far away at almost the same time. Most reporters were obviously more interested in O'Neal's departure, Phil Jackson's departure, and Tang Shuai's appointment.

On the Clippers side, several reporters discussed without scruples, saying that there are hundreds of media outlets for the Lakers, and they really can't get in.

Such remarks made the atmosphere a little awkward.

Reluctantly, the staff began to remove the extra chairs.

Seeing this, Su Yang shouted: "There is no need to remove those extra chairs. The popularity of our Clippers team is indeed much worse than that of the Lakers, but this is the lowest point in our history. Take a picture of the current scene and hang it on the court every day. Motivate us."

After the words fell, the old acquaintance "Los Angeles Times" reporter Ramona Shelburne took the lead in applauding. The other reporters reacted and applauded together. The originally deserted atmosphere suddenly became ignited, and the question-and-answer session began.

Su Yang emphasized three points.

First of all, most of the players, the head coach, and the management team are still in the novice stage. They will not pursue the record too much in the early stage, and will patiently move in the right direction. champion.

In short, at the critical moment, I will stand up and carry the game, and I will also allow some losses caused by improvement, such as not shooting the lore by myself, or trying different defensive strategies, resulting in a wave of bad shots by the opponent, etc.

Speaking of myself, the goal is still to hit the MVP, and I also continue to emphasize that if I really achieve such an achievement, it must be the credit of the whole team rather than myself, but helping the team win more games will always be the highest priority goal.

Finally, there are related plans for the new arena. Su Yang revealed that he has discussed with the owner Sterling. In order to better develop and grow the team, he should find a place to own the arena alone. The current plan is to purchase the Great Western Forum Arena for renovation. Co-chairman Andy Russell is pushing forward with all his strength. If all goes well, he can move there to play games as soon as the 07 season.

After the press conference, the training will continue as usual.

It may be that after a week of special training, the tactics related to positional warfare and horn chest have achieved a little success. Maggette and Jaric moved a little carelessly, looking like a routine, and did not read and think about defense according to the standards of the dynamic offensive system. .Su Yang saw it and didn't make a sound to stop him. He practiced after the break and switched to the two facing each other to defend.

He didn’t take strict precautions, and simply predicted his position and start a few times in advance, easily blocked Maggette’s running position, and intercepted Jaric’s pass. After six times in a row, everyone realized what he was doing. Maggette Get serious again with Jarich.

Field training is over.

Taking advantage of the break, Spoel gave a thumbs up and silently praised Su Yang for his good leadership: unexpectedly, without saying a word, he was able to let his lazy teammates understand the problem, and it did not hurt Maggette and Jaric. Also very shocking.

Su Yang responded with a smile.

Turned to practice fast break, the difficulty is not much lower than positional warfare, Iguodala, Maggette and others are quite used to it, Varejao is also very familiar with it, but Kaman and Wilcox are obviously not suitable A trailing screen with a delay in positioning, always trying to go to the basket.

Spo looked anxiously.

Su Yang comforted him by saying that it was useless to be anxious. After all, it took time to develop a team's tactical quality and change a player's game habits, especially from passive 1234 running tactics to active reading of defense and timely communication with teammates.

Training ends at six o'clock.

Su Yang drove a Lambo to the company, talked with Elgin Baylor, and listened to the preparation progress of the BIG3 league.

After a few minutes of reporting, Su Yang learned that there are currently several small bosses who want to join, but the biggest problem is the lack of popularity. They need to have relatively famous retired players, such as Karl Malone or Derek Coleman, as well as relatively famous players. Big bosses, such as JAYZ, can achieve development from zero to one, otherwise they will always be considered as cheating money.

"I'll take care of the famous boss. You continue to contact Coleman and others. Don't spend too much time on Karl Malone. He still wants to compete for the championship..." Su Yang said in his heart that he could try to get Downey Jr. to invest in a team For fun, or to have Billy Crystal introduce more Hollywood stars, they don't necessarily need them to invest in the team, as long as they can promote the BIG3 league.

After chatting with Baylor, I chatted with old Hicks.

It is mainly about the Venice Beach Streetball League. At present, interns have been recruited to do game shooting, video editing, etc., but there is no stable video dissemination platform for the time being, and the video recording functions provided by forums such as HOOPS are not stable.

And those fans who want to video can only be transmitted by sending emails, but the picture quality will be severely compressed.

"Then set up a dedicated video website!"

After much deliberation, Su Yang decided to start YouTube first. Compared with Facebook and other products, the investment of energy, financial resources and difficulty is the least. It is expected to be acquired by Google or other big companies within two years, and it will make more than one billion US dollars.

But even with a small investment of energy, it is difficult to maintain it for a long time if I am busy playing. Another hard thought, it is better to invite Calvin, a teammate from Santa Monica High School, to take charge.

I had talked with Tommy and Ron and other high school teammates about joining the company directly after graduation. At that time, I was thinking about playing basketball, and some ignored Calvin’s talent. That guy is currently studying at Caltech. .

The phone call was made immediately, Su Yang explained his thoughts clearly, Calvin was quite interested, and agreed to chat with the company in detail.

Early the next morning, we arrived at the training base as usual.

After the shooting warm-up is over, eat some bananas to replenish energy, then do leg training, and turn on the TV to listen to a wave of related news. The first thing I hear is that Karl Malone is seriously considering joining the Spurs.

The second piece of news was that the Lakers broke the news with team reporters, saying that O'Neal left because he had a disagreement with Kobe, disrespected the old Buss, and wanted a bigger contract.

It is difficult to deceive people and guide public opinion with pure lies, but mixing the truth and lies together can not only deceive people, but also make people ignore the truth. The rumors about Kobe driving O'Neal away are just like that. Attack Kobe.

Kobe did have the behavior of fighting for the boss, but it was by no means not passing the ball to O'Neal during the Finals against the Pistons, because the Pistons are famous for passing the ball, and even found a house in Chicago in advance, thinking that the Lakers would eventually use the maximum salary to keep O'Neal.

The culprit is the Lakers management. They are good at infighting. It was not the first time to use it in 04, and it will not be the last time after a few years. They always blame the big players in the team for their incompetence and mistakes. The appearance of human feelings.

While Su Yang sighed, the third news was broadcast.

The voice of snoop, a well-known Lakers fan, came out: "You ask me what I think of the Clippers' new arena? I just want to laugh at them. The Great Western Forum is the former home of the Lakers. The Clippers always like to steal things from the Lakers. If I were Su Yang, I would enter the free market after completing my four-year rookie contract. Following Sterling would not end well. He can help make a lot of money now. Why did Sterling promise to wait until he can’t make so much money? Money and Sterling will show his true nature to him."

Su Yang said in his heart that I know about this, and I also have plans and preparations, as long as I act like a monster, it doesn't matter who will do it.

The fourth piece of news mentioned that Su Yang's personal goal for the new season is to hit the MVP. The guest guest Kevin Pelton commented: If it were other rookies, even if Duncan said that, I would refute it, but Su Yang would not. Similarly, he is always creating miracles. He can lead the Chinese men's basketball team ranked 02th in the 12 World Championships to beat the US team. He can do anything.

Hearing such praise, Su Yang felt that squatting was more vigorous, but he also knew that the dream team was very weak this time.

After the leg training, take a short rest.

Iguodala and others arrived, and Maggette also rushed over, but did not warm up for shooting, because he injured his thumb in the previous training and needed to recover, while Kaman simply sat on the sidelines, because the fast break was used as a trailing screen, Too many quick stops hurt the shin.

Kaman simply has no preset tactical thinking, which is equivalent to using the overlord's brute force to lift a tripod, not a lever.

Su Yang was quite speechless. A real basketball game is not a game, and you can't simulate skipping when your teammates are injured.

After training in the morning, I rushed back to the company to meet with Calvin to discuss in detail the various details of the creation of YouTube. The main difficulty lies in the smooth playback, that is, how to distribute a video to the data center closest to the user.

"It's not a problem that money can handle..."

Su Yang made the decision. He has the endorsement fees earned from Nike, Pepsi, Life Insurance and other companies, totaling nearly [-] million U.S. dollars. In the next two years, there will be a second batch of payments from Nike and Pepsi. Anyway, recruiting is related to buying broadband Not bad money.

But we must also find a way to become bigger and stronger through basketball, otherwise we will just sit back and eat, and we will have to wait a few years to realize it.

What's more, due to the influence of the butterfly effect, maybe the competing products of Microsoft and Google will do better.

The biggest advantage I have is prophetic and speed.

After chatting, Su Yang took Tommy to apply for the job in person, then had a simple meal to celebrate, and then rushed back to the training base.

When I entered the stadium, I found that the staff had already printed out photos of the deserted atmosphere of the previous press conference. The large-scale one was hung on the wall near the sea in the northwest. You can see it when you look up slightly. Only one sentence left to write down.

Seeing this, Su Yang told the staff excitedly: "Write in Chinese, eight characters, the king and general will be kind!"

Whether he fits or not, it feels right anyway.

In a blink of an eye, October NO.14, the Clippers flew to Arizona to challenge their first preseason opponent, the Phoenix Suns.

　Ask for votes.
