You'd better wrap me

Chapter 155 I Want It All
At the end of the on-court interview, Su Yang gave a high-five to Bill Russell and other celebrities, and then sent a party invitation to the crowd watching the game, preparing for a little celebration, and then taking advantage of the rare opportunity for big-name players to gather to discuss a labor-management agreement.

Since the suspension of the 98/99 season, the labor agreement will be renegotiated this offseason. The player union and the league have already discussed the terms. The general terms have been released. Several items have a greater impact on the players, and more discussions are necessary.

Players like McGrady have already renewed their contracts with the Magic for three years in advance, because they are worried that the new labor agreement will reduce the salary space ratio, the longest contract period, and the annual salary increase, etc., basically bind the Magic and rebuild with Howard .

In addition, the first-round rookie guarantee contract has been reduced from three years to two years, which also has a great impact on when players participate in the draft. Fortunately, because of Su Yang's suggestion three years ago, the NBA has vigorously developed the G League and has not introduced a 19-year-old team. Draft clause restrictions.

For Su Yang, this is an opportunity to act as the talker, and wait until the future to fully support Paul and LeBron.

Between discussions, Bryant and Garnett said they had already made travel arrangements in advance, while Carter and LeBron accepted the invitation.

Upon seeing this, Anthony and Wade accepted the invitation.

In the end, a total of more than 20 team cores + potential rookies promised to attend the party and conspire for a great cause.

Instead, Su Yang rushed to the media center for an interview, holding the Rookie Challenge MVP trophy, the Skills Challenge championship trophy, the three-point contest championship trophy, and the latest slam dunk contest championship trophy, arrogantly making the reporters snap.

"Su, your next goal is to win the AMVP trophy and achieve the first All-Star Grand Slam in NBA history?"

"Of course! But my priority is always to win the game, let's see what happens tomorrow night."

The achievement of the All-Star Grand Slam is too awesome. If it is successfully achieved, there will be no one before, and there will be no one in the future. It not only means that the technology is omnipotent, but also means that every field is at the king level. Now that such an opportunity arises, who can refuse?

It's like already having Brooke Shields and Sophie Marceau, as well as Winona Ryder and Charles Theron, and another opportunity to attack Monica Bellucci, you must go all out, even if you hit the head and blood. Gritting your teeth and continuing, it is not human to not rush.

"What if the western players don't pass the ball to you, or what if the eastern players are targeted to defend you? I heard someone broke the news just now, saying that the Eastern All-Stars have reached an agreement and will do their best to prevent you from achieving a grand slam. They will use encirclement and suppression on you tactics."

"Then they'd better double-team me."

The voice fell, and the audience burst into laughter.

Su Yang thinks about it carefully, the head coach of the Eastern Conference is Pat Riley, and it is indeed possible to play the trick of slanting forward. If the Eastern Conference really tries to stop it, it should be a crazy attack on the line and a large number of backcourt defenses. It is very difficult to play, mainly running without the ball, it is difficult to have tactical cooperation. Even if everyone in the West wants to cooperate with themselves, their efficiency will be reduced because of the vastly different tactical system.

As for the fact that teammates don't pass the ball, it is indeed possible like Sexton. Fortunately, the image I presented to the public in the past is not a big cancer like Sexton, or it will be Thomas and other teammates. The drama of not passing the ball to Jordan.

I heard that when Jordan participated in the All-Star for the first time, he wore Nike clothing instead of team uniforms, which stimulated Isiah Thomas, and then made Thomas unite with players from the East and West teams not to pass the ball to Jordan. In the end, Jordan only had 7 point.

I have won four trophies in a row, and Nike has also confirmed that it will develop an independent brand for itself within five years.

Too red will be envied or hated by others.

But there seems to be no player like Thomas in the West. Does anyone particularly hate or envy me?
Duncan and the driver don't like to cause trouble, Dayao is his own.

Only Kobe is left in the starting lineup, but if Kobe doesn’t pass the ball to me, it’s normal, he won’t pass it to others, and Kobe always likes to play in the All-Star Game, and he also values ​​AMVP. It's also normal.

In terms of substitute players, Garnett should be a little upset, and Manu Ginobili is also possible, but both of them are substitutes. If something really happens, just ask Spoelstra not to arrange playing time for Garnett. Anyway, it is his own team. head coach.

The Suns' trio of Nash, Marion, and Stoudemire may have performed well because of their tacit cooperation. If that's the case, they will have the same attitude as dealing with Kobe's non-passing, try to ensure that their shots are efficient enough, and rely on hard power to compete for AMVP.

Anyway, coach Spoelstra will not be allowed to interfere with the Suns trio.

While thinking about it, I heard another reporter ask: "Among these All-Star players, who do you most want to cooperate with?"

"Nowitzki..."

Su Yang said truthfully, "Because Nowitzki has a super offensive talent, he can attack from any position on the court, and he can cooperate well with me. I have asked Coach Spoelstra to design tactics for me and him. Tomorrow night's game you will see the cooperation between the two of you, together with Duncan's support, it will definitely exceed your understanding of previous basketball games..."

Another reporter asked: "We reporters like you to go straight and say what you want. I have decided to vote for you as the MVP. Now I want to ask, among these All-Star players, who do you want to work with the least? ?”

Su Yang raised his eyebrows and chuckled when he heard the words, and thought that it would be a trick + temptation, but we can also talk about it. Anyway, he said bluntly: "Arranged according to the degree of cooperation in helping the championship, LeBron and I have the highest degree of overlap. We are The two players who have the least need to cooperate, because he can do what I can do, and cannot form a complementary relationship to maximize the strength of a team..."

After the interview was over, Su Yang rushed to the pre-booked private manor villa to meet with LeBron and others.

After nine o'clock, the players who promised to participate were basically in place.

Billy Hunter, chairman of the players union, also rushed over.

After a few simple greetings, I opened the red wine provided by LeBron and Anthony and took a few sips, and the topic turned to the labor agreement.

Su Yang first mentioned the terms he was most concerned about: "The design of the luxury tax is nominally to balance the development of each team and avoid the birth of a super team, so that every season can keep suspense, but it can't limit the development of super teams at all. Birth is more of a hindrance to us getting high salaries and retaining strong teammates. We should try our best to fight for some special terms, such as designating a certain player to get the maximum salary and not included in the salary cap. Each team has two designated opportunities Anyway, I don't want to see Andre Iguodala leave the Clippers after four years because he can't sign a maximum salary contract. This will not only affect me and him, but also affect you.

If there is such a clause, even if there is no strong teammate who grows at the same time, it can be better signed from the free market. Anyway, we don’t take the money, but the team stays. Why give them an excuse?The salary cap is set! "

During the conversation, Su Yang brought up the designated player clause that has not yet appeared, as well as the Ross clause.

LeBron and Wade nodded when they heard it. They were both rookies and they were outstanding in the first two years. They thought it was necessary to have a "Ross Clause". They simply named it "Suyang Clause". Ranked first in MVP for multiple consecutive periods?And Carter and other players who lacked helpers due to the salary cap and luxury tax strongly agreed with the designated player clause.

Billy Hunter, chairman of the players union, was terrified when he heard it, and secretly sighed: If Michael Jordan stood up and led the players back then, he would definitely have achieved better negotiation results, but it is a pity that Michael Jordan admired Republicans to also buy sneakers.In comparison, Su Yang is definitely a talented leader, not only willing to lead everyone to seek benefits, but also think of various good ways.

The discussion ended quickly, and everyone agreed to talk again next time.

Billy Hunter said he wanted to invite the players committee to meet. Su Yang agreed after thinking about it. The process is necessary.

In the early morning of the next day, the All-Stars of the Eastern and Western teams conducted public training, and a CCTV reporter interviewed Eastern head coach Pat Riley.

Talking about how to limit Su Yang, Riley said calmly: "We have prepared some special defensive strategies for him..." Thinking that the probability of us meeting the Clippers in the finals is very high, how to defend Su Yang, tonight's game will be Consider it an experiment.

The CCTV reporter interviewed Garnett again and asked if he would do his best to help Su Yang win the All-Star Game MVP.Garnett said a little speechlessly: "Our priority goal is to win the game. As for other things, we will wait until we play to see what happens."
