Chapter 196 Who is the King of Los Angeles

Ray Allen's deal is done, and the off-season team-related work is basically done. Only the draft and the follow-up official announcement are left. The summer league will not participate, and then it is necessary to prepare to participate in the brand-new promotional shooting of Nike and other brands.

While there was still time, Su Yang rushed to the company to follow up on the progress of a wave of business expansion in the YouTube industry. The main reason was how to join forces with many companies that wanted to advertise to carry out brand-new marketing, and proposed including topping the homepage and personal search weight bonuses, etc. Strategy.

"Nike is promoting my sneakers this time, and we plan to place advertisements on our platform. We set up a popular video ranking list, and set aside an advertising space for similar things. In the future, we will sell them to companies that advertise, and we can offer prices according to the length of time. , and the other is related video recommendations, which temporarily provide marketing videos with a greater probability of being posted..."

Su Yang has always asked for a correlation algorithm, just to push specific videos to specific users more accurately. Strategies such as popular search advertising positions are also used. As long as the number of users is large enough, the advertising effect will be good enough. Also higher.

The implementation method is nothing more than big data analysis and continuous experimentation, using data to feed data, and sooner or later Litang Dingzhen will be passed quickly.

After the meeting, Su Yang returned to the training base.

While practicing ball control, a tall man with yellow hair broke in. It was Dakomilicic at first glance, and his agent Mark Costin was with him. They introduced each other briefly and said a few polite words. , Su Yang turned the topic to basketball.

"The transaction was initiated by me. I am optimistic that you can become a player like Pau Gasol, but I hope that before that, you can pick yourself up and give up nightclub life completely. Otherwise, nightclubs in Los Angeles are a hundred times more fun than Detroit. You Get totally lost in it, and then I want you to go play summer league and start over from scratch and show the world what you're capable of.

Wait until the preseason training camp, as long as you can adapt to the team's offensive and defensive tactics, I will suggest that coach Spoelstra give you the playing time you deserve, and you will never be called a human victory cigar by the fans. debut.

can you do it? "

After Su Yang finished speaking, he slightly raised his head and looked directly at Milicic, and Milicic said yes with evasive eyes.

"Can't hear you! Look at me, say it again, haven't you eaten, and you still want to start the game with such a low voice?"

"I can!" Milicic looked directly at Su Yang and shouted loudly, scaring the staff at the scene to turn their heads.

"Okay! Let's go through the formalities first, prepare for the physical examination, and then hurry up to study the team's tactics tonight." Su Yang waved his hand and asked Milicic to follow Olshey to handle various handovers, and he turned to his agent Mark Costin chatted.

Without concealment, he told Kostern directly that he was going to train Milicic as the core center of the Clippers for the next ten years, but he didn't mind Milicic entering the free market in two years. The only requirement is these two years. Milicic Qi had to devote himself wholeheartedly, while Kostern, as a manager, had to undertake the task of supervising and assisting Milicic, since he couldn't go to nightclubs anyway.

Can't go once, until Milicic proves himself.

Kostern nodded and agreed, Su Yang can fish the customer out of the piston quagmire and give him the possibility of signing a big contract in two years, what more bike do he need?It is too late to thank, and the request is accepted even if it is not so reasonable.

Between the communications, ESPN simultaneously broadcast the Clippers and the Pistons to complete the deal between Wilcox and Milicic.

It can be regarded as the first shot before the draft, and heated discussions among commentators and fans have emerged one after another.

Stephen Smith commented on the program: "There have been many rumors that Su Yang wants to trade Wilcox before, and now that it really happened, we generally think that it is the team boss who abused his privileges, but Su Yang wants to trade Wilcox. Young is only short of the best defensive player and the best defensive first team this season to complete the season grand slam. He has proved that he has a unique and advanced understanding of the team's offensive and defensive system. I can't criticize him easily. I can only say The odds of Milicic re-certifying are low."

Bill Simmons wrote on his personal podcast: "I don't want to talk about whether Su Yang's deal is correct, because Wilcox does not fit the Clippers' system. Sic's four parties are all favorable choices. Even if Milicic fails to prove himself in the next two years, this is still a good deal, and it is even commendable.

I just want to say one old thing, that is, when Milicic participated in the Pistons trial, Larry Brown wanted to see Milicic and Carmelo Anthony in a confrontational trial together, because he liked Carmelo Anthony better, but Milicic's agent rejected Larry Brown's request, and then Pistons general manager Joe Dumars ignored Larry Brown and temporarily re-selected Milicic. "

The well-known reporter Windhorst said in the program: "It is a very correct decision for Su Yang to trade for Milicic. He wants to use his strong catalytic ability to help Milicic achieve those evaluations in the scouting report that year. , if he doesn't make it, it's just another version of Wilcox, but if he succeeds, it's the next Sabonis.

He always likes to attack the upper limit. This is the same style of doing things as he implemented a large number of defense changes at the University of Southern California and the Clippers. champion. "

During the hot discussion, Milicic completed the handover of various procedures and entered the medical examination link, and there was nothing wrong with it.

At the same time, Su Yang called Wilcox and thanked Wickau for his comeback throughout the season, especially the time when he defended Duncan against the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals. He hoped that when he returned to the home court of the Clippers next season, he would be awarded the award. Championship ring.

Wickau happily agreed, saying that he would explain to the media and fans that Su Yang should not worry about the public's slander, and he was also grateful that Su Yang did not hold grudges and did not reply to emails, etc., but see you next time on the field. Time, never relent.

Hanging up the phone with a smile, Su Yang called Bobby Simmons and Marko Jaric to inform them of the team's decision not to accept the offer, hoping to leave them more time to operate in the free market. I wish the two all the best for the future.

Bobby Simmons and Marko Jaric also thanked Sujan for his help, and both said finding better pitch positioning.

In the blink of an eye, Su Yang invited Milicic to a dinner party on the beach in Malibu, and pulled Iguodala and Varejao together to welcome him.Halfway through the meal, Payton rushed over suddenly and joked that he was very unhappy that he was not invited to welcome the new players.

Taking advantage of the meal, Payton gave a lot of advice on how to deal with frustration, Varejao gave some suggestions on how foreign players can better integrate into the team, and Iguodala gave a few tips on how to deal with it outside of training and games Advice in spare time.

Su Yang is responsible for the most professional technical advice: "You don't need to gain weight blindly. Your biggest advantage is your height of 213 cm, but you have the flexibility of a small forward. You need to give full play to your footwork, support and shooting advantages to play more easily. .”

Milicic almost shed tears when he heard that, and said that he was treated like this in the Pistons before, and this fucking is his teammate.

After the dinner, Spoelstra received another call, saying that Hornacek had accepted the invitation to become the team's shooting coach.

In the early morning of the next day, Su Yang rushed to the training base again and found that Milicic had started to make contact with his back.

Standing aside and watching for a while, I thought that the shooting coach is in place, and there is still a famous player who can teach the big man's footwork. Unfortunately, the Clippers ancestors are too poor. There is no superstar like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. cause and so on.

The team has already won the championship, and Sterling has become more generous in spending money than before. The rich coaching staff must be rich. For trainers who have not yet become famous, such as Phil Handy, it is best to invite them to join in advance. They are all intangible assets of the Clippers.

In short, the establishment of a dynasty is no longer something that can be done with the combination of OK or Qiaopi. The confrontation of the NBA is indeed declining, but with the emergence of various new technologies and methods, winning the championship will become more and more need for an efficient team. .

After making up his mind, Su Yang went into Olshey's office and elaborated on the idea of ​​inviting Ewing, Phil Handy and others.

Olshey went straight to the schedule.

At noon, ESPN broke the news, announcing that the Los Angeles Lakers and Minnesota Timberwolves had completed the deal.

The specific transaction is that the Lakers sent Lamar Odom + Caron Butler + Chucky Atkins + 05/07/09 three first rounds + two second rounds + a special case of trading, and got Kevin Garnett and Sam Cassell, and in order to reach a deal, Sam Cassell gave up his request to extend the contract period, only to join Los Angeles with Garnett and fight for the championship.

The news also mentioned that Kobe was angry at the public's frequent use of "Su Yang can lead the older Malone and Payton to win the championship" to prove that Su Yang is better than him. He couldn't bear the same situation in the next few seasons and initiated trade.

The news also mentioned that the Buss family can’t stand a large number of Hollywood stars turning into Clippers fans. Jerry Buss thinks it’s a huge shame. Apart from this transaction, the Lakers will also invite back the three-peat coach Phil Jackson to start anew. Impact champion.

The news also mentioned that the Lakers management is very optimistic about the combination of Kobe and Garnett. As for the extra Cassell, it is a surprise, because the Timberwolves owner does not want to renew the contract for Cassell, who is 36 years old and has been plagued by injuries. salary.

All kinds of discussions directly blow out.

Bill Simmons wrote in his blog: "This deal can be said to be a robbery, or it can be said to be cheating. Garnett, who was in his prime, only changed to the sixth-man level Odom and three first-rounders. The draft picks, the Lakers' first-round picks in the next few years are worthless, I can only guess that this is the Timberwolves owner feeling ashamed of Garnett and trying his best to help him win the championship."

Kevin Pelton posted a video on YouTube: "I think the league should stop this deal! Although the Lakers and Timberwolves did not violate the trading rules, it is obviously not a fair deal, which will make it more difficult for other small teams to retain their stars , because after the case of Kobe and Garnett, more stars will directly contact other players to form a team!"

Chris Bunty said in the ESPN round table discussion: "The Los Angeles Lakers have completed the reinforcement of the two positions. They have become a favorable contender for the championship. Wait until the next game, they will prove again who is the real king of Los Angeles .”

Stephen Smith agrees with Chris Bunty, thinking that the Lakers can compete for the championship as long as they strengthen their three-point shooters.

Among the various discussions, Su Yang was a little surprised when he saw the news. The main thing was that Kassel gave the Lakers for free. An average score of 12+ is not a problem.

Bass' open letter was subsequently published on the official website of the Lakers. First, he thanked Odom, Butler, and Atkins for their contributions to the team, then welcomed Garnett and Cassell for joining, and finally promised Zijin Glory will shine forever.

The major basketball forums are also very optimistic about the Lakers' deal, thinking that the league will have to struggle with the arrangements for the Christmas game.

In a blink of an eye at [-] pm, TNT interrupted the news, announcing that the Los Angeles Clippers and Seattle Supersonics had completed the deal.

The specific transaction is that the Clippers sent Maggette and the 76ers in the first round of 06/08, and Ray Allen was obtained from the Supersonics.

In just 3 minutes, related discussions exploded.
