You'd better wrap me

Chapter 309 Alliance Dynamics

LeBron's speech quickly sparked heated discussions.

ESPN commentator Kevin Pelton tweeted: "Seeing LeBron say that he will practice shooting hard in the summer, I realized how smart Su Yang is. He could dunk all kinds of people in his senior year, but He gets up early every day and the first training is the beat Johnny shooting challenge. He matures earlier than many superstars. Even Michael Jordan is in the fourth year of his career. After being swept twice by the Celtics 3-0 and the Pistons 4 After the 1 gentleman swept away, he began to practice his CIC skills hard.

But even though the case of Michael Jordan is widely known, many later players did not pay attention to shooting training, and always relied on the crushing talent of the same level of competition to advance all the way. After encountering difficulties, the team was required to be equipped with shooters, and the big man was required to give up space inside. , and even thought in their hearts that superstars should hit the basket more, and they still couldn't get out of their comfort zone. "

Seeing Pelton's comments, Su Yang thought that the typical case is Ben Simmons, super physical talent, countless predecessors have proved the importance of shooting, but he didn't learn or practice, and even refuted Kobe's suggestion, holding a lot of balls There is no shooting threat, and a deformed lineup is equipped to satisfy him. Speaking of which, the seven-five management and coaching staff were also idiots at the time, and they would give up Leonard and others for Simmons.

Just glance at TNT again, and the Lakers also held a press conference. Kobe and Garnett welcomed Billups together.Kobe faced reporters asking about his goals for the next season, and rushed to say: "Our goal is to defeat the Clippers led by Su Yang and win the championship."

Just like LeBron, name-calling is very direct.

Garnett continued: "If our team is not to defeat Su Yang and win the championship, then all this is meaningless. We will conduct the most targeted training this summer. We must win it back, otherwise it will be an eternal shame. .”

Those heavy words immediately froze the atmosphere.

The reporters were too embarrassed to continue asking questions.

Billups chuckled when he saw this: "We will prove that Su Yang and the Clippers are not invincible. They also have a series of problems. It depends on who can handle the problems better and who can play well until next year's playoffs. Tougher and more efficient game, I came to Los Angeles to beat Su Yang, I have no personal grudges with him, I appreciate him, it's just about basketball."

Seeing that both the Heat and the Lakers wanted to blow him up, Su Yang continued to look for news about the Celtics on a whim.

The Celtics have not yet held a press conference, but President Danny Ainge accepted an interview with the "Boston Herald" and talked about why he gambled on the formation of the Big Three in the next ten years. He bluntly said that the formation of the Big Three is only for winning the championship, and the probability of winning the championship requires defeating Su Yang and Clippers.

A reporter from the "Boston Herald" asked if he was optimistic about the Big Three of the Lakers. Danny Ainge seemed to do it on purpose, saying that the addition of Billups had greatly increased the strength of the Lakers, but it did not solve the fundamental problem, that is, they could not be low-cost and high-efficiency To defend against Su Yang, the Lakers can let Kobe lead the defense, and then arrange Ariza to assist in the defense all the way. This will definitely limit Su Yang, but the price is that the other Clippers will play bravely. Su Yang does not care about data, because Su Yang no longer needs data proof , Iguodala and others have experienced a 0-3 reversal, and the mentality of the game will be more stable. Anyway, traditional strategies have been difficult to beat Su Yang and the Clippers, at least the Lakers can't.

"The old fox is giving eye drops to the Lakers, forcing the Lakers to work harder, but it's the truth..."

Su Yang thinks for himself, the biggest opponent of the Clippers next season will not be the Lakers or the Heat. There is no team in the league that can limit himself and the team at a low cost and high efficiency. Ray Allen, Iguodala and others seek to win Desire, and health are the problems.

"The whole team has to learn from O'Neal. Veterans in the regular season should take care of their health and practice more with Millsap and others to avoid irritability and extensive injuries. I will talk to Spoelstra tomorrow about this matter. The regular season record can only be guaranteed to be in the top four in the Western Conference. , no longer grab the ball first."

Make up your mind, and then read other team news.

Among the strong teams in the Western Conference, the Suns chose to send Rudy Fernandez and James Jones to the Trail Blazers just to get a sum of cash. The owner Savor's stingy character is fully reflected. It seems that there is no championship life. It is typical to do big things and regret it body.

The only true power forward, Kurt Thomas, was also sent away. He also took two first rounds in 08 and 09, and only exchanged a first round in 09 from the Supersonics, as well as a special case of trading. Bad ideas make no secret.

The Suns are basically finished, and they can still make it into the playoffs. After all, Nash and Stoudemire have no hope of going further.

Teams such as the Spurs, Nuggets, Jazz, and Rockets have not moved much, and the Mavericks are also making small troubles, as if choosing to accept their fate.

Fans and commentators think that there is nothing wrong with one super and many strong. The West side looks at the Clippers and Lakers, and the East side looks at the Heat and Celtics. There are other deals in the medium term.

"Basically that's it, just wait for the new season."

After closing the webpage casually, Su Yang got up and walked out of the office, and went to Ivanka's office to discuss the new program.

Early the next morning, I rushed to the training base again, and discussed with Spoelstra, Ray Allen and others according to the plan that there will be a lot of rest or paddling in the next season, and the idea of ​​never forcing the league to be the first, as long as we just hold on to the top four in the Western Conference. unanimously endorsed that proposal.

Immediately after the press conference was held, Morris Peterson was welcomed to join, and he said frankly that Morris's three-pointer will be an important yardstick for the team to win. The Clippers will start a new era of basketball. will feel flustered.

Talking about the positioning of Morrison and Iguodala, Spoel replied with a smile: "According to Su Yang's point of view, we will no longer have the exact division of No. 12345 next season, and there will be no division of inside and outside. , we hope to play a state where everyone can hold the ball or off the ball, everyone can shoot to finish the score, and everyone is the head coach of the team..."

Regarding the joining of Morris, fans and commentators did not have much discussion. Most of the views are that it is difficult for a middle-class contract player to affect the league structure. On the contrary, it is the change of Iguodala's main point forward next season that has sparked a lot of heated discussions.

Bill Simmons tweeted: "Andre Iguodala as a point forward is obviously a move by the Clippers who don't have an exact idea of ​​the 12345 position. I prefer to call it the zero position according to my point of view. I agree that is the future of basketball The ultimate form of the player, as the overall shooting and athletic skills of the players have risen sharply, players from 198 to 206 will become the best choice..."

Between public discussions, the Clippers continued to sign.

Center Micky Moore returned to the Clippers as the third center reserve, Joel Anthony decided to give up after several observations by the Summer League, while Bobby Brown stayed and signed a two-year minimum salary contract as the third point guard option , the lineup is formed.

At the center and power forward positions, there are Chandler, Gasol Jr., Mickey Moore, Millsap, and Brandon Bass.

At the small forward and shooting guard positions, there are Iguodala, Hill, Morris, Tucker, Ray Allen, and Barnes.

At the point guard position, there are Su Yang, Sun Yue and Bobby Brown, a total of 14 people, one spot is reserved for spare.

After the team's affairs were settled, Su Yang boarded the plane and flew back to China. The first stop in Shanghai was to inspect the branch office. He held a mid-year Weibo awards ceremony with female stars such as Bingbing and Yuanyuan. A week of basketball camp.

At the end of the busy work, I attended the opening ceremony of the first college summer league with Dayao, and encouraged the participating players to enjoy the process and not pay too much attention to the results. Just like the NCAA, 99% of people cannot enter the NBA, but as a youth memory, it is a lifetime.

Alba and Irene arrived later, Ivanka and Yan Xi went together, and Su Yang took the four of them to run around the country, from the magic capital to the imperial capital, from the north to the south, from the seaside to the plateau and then to the prairie, and held events along the way. The training camp, discussing with leaders from all walks of life how to revitalize high-tech industries, how to enhance global influence, and how to better avoid the coming crisis, lasted for a full month and a half.

The news of Alba and Irene’s pregnancy was also gradually confirmed by speculation. Southern Weekend’s reporter asked whether the child would be born in the United States or in China. Su Yang knew that he wanted to ask about nationality, and said bluntly that he would be born in the United States and bring it back when he was three years old. Hukou, because I am too young to fly, it is very troublesome, and I have not yet obtained a US green card, which complies with the nationality law, so it is better not to eat both ends.

It's a pity that such a response was greeted with a swarm of ridicule, saying that if you are truly patriotic, you should be born in China, and you should stay in the United States.

Su Yang didn't bother to care about it, and took his four daughters back to his hometown for two weeks before boarding a plane and flying to Los Angeles to end his off-season trip.

I didn’t care about the league for nearly two months. Then I read the news and found that the Heat really sent O’Neal to the Suns, replaced Marion and Marcus Banks, and formally formed a three-forward lineup, while the Mavericks used Harris. Get Kidd in exchange.

The pattern of one superpower and many powerhouses continues to be maintained.

Both O'Neal and Kidd returned to the West early because of the butterfly effect, making the regular season competition in the West even more tragic.

"Sports Illustrated" called for an interview and asked Su Yang what he thought of ESPN's ranking of the Clippers' combat effectiveness in the new season behind the Lakers. Su Yang replied: "In theory, it is true that the Lakers have a stronger lineup, but playing games is another matter. What's going on, let's wait and see."

After finishing the interview, Su Yang began to promote Hathaway's "Rachel's Wedding" and invited many well-known film critics to write articles. Scarlett pretended to be jealous and said: "Because you After confirming the relationship, I gave up filming the kiss scene, which led to a lot of restrictions on filming. The recently released "Nanny Diary" was supposed to be starring me, but I gave up because of you..."

"It doesn't matter if I don't act in that kind of bad movie..."

Su Yang waved his hand and said arrogantly: "When the promotion of Hathaway's movie is over, I will arrange an album for you... Scarlett is also a person who has released records, and the sales volume is as high as 25000. This time, I will help you. Definitely could sell better.

It doesn't matter if you are miserable, just play.

After the promotion was over, Su Yang flew to Japan again, invited Nozomi Sasaki and Satomi Ishihara to be the spokespersons of the branch, and then flew to Great Britain. At the promotion meeting of the branch, he competed with Ronaldo for penalty kicks. With keen judgment and quick reaction, he insisted on saving all of Ronaldo's penalty kicks. Ronaldo was so angry that he refused to admit that he would come again, but rushed to declare victory.

After visiting for a week and then flying to Los Angeles, Durant excitedly ran to say that he wanted to train together. Su Yang decisively took him to the University of Southern California and called Harden and Westbrook to train the three to better cooperate as a team and try not to play alone. Fighting alone, Westbrook was not convinced by Su Yang's evaluation of Durant's "strong investment in the first position in history", intentionally or unintentionally, all kinds of emergency stop zombies took off vertically and pulled out.

Westbrook obviously wants to prove himself.

Seeing that kind of operation, Su Yang felt a bit of a headache. He wondered if it was possible that he could use the butterfly effect to make Westbrook play more calmly. In the end, because of the butterfly effect, Westbrook became fond of zombie jumpers again. It's fate.

I didn't bother to think too much, and practiced with the three for three days. At the end, Su Yang told Durant: "In the new season, don't worry about your head coach's arrangement, just use the cover to catch the ball and make strong shots at the small forward position. Practice it out, and practice tactics later..."

Because of the butterfly effect, Jeff Green did not go to the Sonics, and no one competed with Durant for small forward, but the head coach of the Sonics was PJ Carlesimo, a Spurs acquaintance of general manager Presti, and his tactics were too big. Complicated, not suitable for rookie Durant.

During the conversation, Harden suddenly asked: "Su, I have always had a question, why did you volunteer to help us?" In Harden's view, Su Yang was too enthusiastic, not related to him, but at most related to alumni and the training camp , but Su Yang paid more than Jordan guided Kobe back then. Could it be that he planned to recruit himself, Durant and Westbrook to the Clippers in the future?

Su Yang chuckled when he heard the words: "Because invincibility is lonely, I need you to become stronger and give me more challenges..." Durant with a tough heart, Westbrook with a calm and reasonable style of play, and Harden with a tough style may not be effective. McGrady is healthier than Iverson and Peak.

"DAMN!"

The three of Harden complained in unison and looked at each other a few times, as if they agreed that Su Yang was not telling the truth and pretended to be forcibly compared.

Su Yang shrugged slightly, thinking that there is nothing you can do if you don't believe it. After all, this idea is really weird, even nonsense.

After the small training camp was completed, Su Yang also returned to the state two months ago. Instead, he invited the whole team to start the Bahamas training camp. support.

The whole team readily agreed.

Qiuqiu, trainers, team doctors, and daily staff also participated. A total of [-] people chartered two planes.

Anyway, Su Yang is a tens of billions of dollars millionaire.

While the team was training, ESPN and other media heatedly discussed that Su Yang invited all the family members of the players at his own expense. Fans praised Su Yang for the construction of the Clippers' team culture. Strong.

On the third day of the training camp in the Bahamas, boss Sterling took the time to fly there, lay down next to the pool and chatted with Su Yang, bluntly said that the low-yield capital turnover is difficult, and he is willing to continue the previous deal on the oil pipeline center, even willing to give priority to selling the Clippers to Su Yang. Young.

"You are the actual controller of this team, which means that your assets are several times more than mine, otherwise I will suspect that you want to invade my team, just wait, and sell the team when I retire at the age of 80 Here it is, I guess at that time you didn’t have the heart to play anymore…”

Hearing such words, Su Yang subconsciously guessed that Sterling would take the initiative to expose racial discrimination incidents, just to sell high prices.

After a week of training camp, the whole team returned to Los Angeles, where they held a new season press conference as usual, announcing that they would hit the fourth consecutive championship.

The next day, October [-], the Clippers played their first preseason game against the Nuggets.

The whole team mainly experimented with a new tactical system. The defensive end also focused on positioning and basically did not engage in physical confrontation. They tried their best to let Gasol, who had successfully lost weight, adapt to the rhythm of the NBA as soon as possible.

The next day they played the Blazers back to back, with exactly the same purpose and strategy, and lost 102 to 111.

After playing two games, I looked for problems for analysis, rested for four days and played against the Warriors again. I grabbed 24 more rebounds, of which Chandler grabbed 11 offensive rebounds. Sun Yue blocked Baron Davis for two dunks. The Clippers finally 99 to 89 won the first preseason victory.

Followed by two consecutive games against the Suns at home, continued to train Gasol Jr. and Sun Yue, with a record of 1 win and 1 loss, causing fans to joke that Su Yang finally lost to the Suns, and the original promise of "never losing to the Suns" was invalidated. It is a person who does not believe what he says.

After two days of rest, they played against the Lakers again. Kobe and other five main players did not play. The Clippers easily won 112 to 96.

In the last two games, the Clippers won the Kings back-to-back and then lost the Warriors, ending the preseason with a record of 4 wins and 3 losses.

With a slight adjustment, Su Yang renewed his contract in advance and voluntarily gave up the right to use the "Su Yang Clause" that can directly give up 30% of the maximum salary, just to allow Iguodala, who will play the role of the sixth man most of the time in the new season To the maximum salary, there is no regret at all.

The first game of the new season followed. The Clippers sat in the oil pipeline center and faced the Los Angeles Lakers who formed the Big Five in the summer.

　Thank you all for another month of support!
