Chapter 206 The whole world is talking about the Heat

The Thunder team celebrated all night and took a special plane back to Oklahoma the next afternoon.

More than 3000 fans rushed to the airport to welcome them. Owner Clayton announced in public that the championship parade will be held two days later. Then the whole team went straight to the pre-booked private estate to start a new round of celebrations. Hundreds of people including many family members people.

Harden also temporarily chartered a private jet to visit Las Vegas, and posted photos of five girls with big butts on Twitter.

On the morning of NO.14, the Thunder held a championship parade as scheduled, starting from the Civic Center and arriving at the Ford Center all the way.

Durant and others took turns to speak on the stage. Su Yang was the last one to speak on the stage. He imitated Pat Riley and said vigorously: "I guarantee to everyone here, next season we will champion again!"

Hearing that Su Yang promised to win the championship next season, the entire Ford Center cheered, and everyone shouted awesome.

After the celebration was over, Su Yang took the private jet chartered by Harden, flew directly to San Francisco, and then went to the company.

Because the official release of Apple 4 is coming soon, many investors are more optimistic about the prospect of MT making money, and the team that wants to invest has stepped into the company's gate.Su Yang received several teams for several days in a row, and came up with many ways to refuse investment without offending others.

But he also knows that as a Chinese, he must pay protection fees to make money in American territory, otherwise he will be screwed sooner or later.

Several technical experts in the company couldn't understand his sense of crisis, and believed that Americans valued the spirit of contract and would not do such nasty things. The introduction of large capital would only help MT to achieve the size of QQ, and it didn't need as many employees as QQ. .

Su Yang didn't bother to explain, but fortunately Jiang Ruolan supported him very much and worked hard to keep the company running without any problems.

When everyone was having dinner, several female colleagues laughed and asked when the two got engaged, which made them a little shy.

The window paper between the two has never been pierced. Jiang Ruolan hinted at it once, but Su Yang has always been unable to make up his mind, because many times in the dead of night he reflected that he wanted to make a lot of money and then become a female star. In commotion.

What Elizabeth Olsen, what Charles Theron, what Amber Heard, all want to try.

Anyway, he can't have a formal girlfriend, and he can find other women to explore the great harmony of life.

What's more, he can't make a girlfriend first, and then find a reason to break up after making a lot of money, which will make his conscience uneasy.

While MT is hotly matching the new version of Apple 4, the Thunder is also making preparations for the draft.

Presti sent a lot of information to Su Yang, and even revealed that the Heat wanted to trade the No. 18 pick in the first round to the Thunder, so that the Thunder could eat Dae Quinn Cook's $200 million contract, so as to make it easier for the free market to hit big names with all their strength. players.

Regarding the Heat's trade intention, Su Yang suggested that it is acceptable. After all, it is the No. 18 pick in the first round. Even if it is not used in this year's draft, he can find a way to trade him to other teams in exchange for a better value pick, especially the first round of 11. middle section.

The Thunder have enough salary space, and there is no pressure to eat a 200 million contract. If they fail, they can choose Thompson or Leonard.

Of course, there is a big difference between the assumption and the actual operation. Maybe it can only be exchanged for the first round of 12, which will have little effect.

In addition to the potential No. 18 in the first round, the Thunder also has its own No. 30, as well as the Suns’ No. 08 pick obtained by trading Kurt Thomas in 26, and the No. 18 that may be used to trade No. 32. There is quite a lot of room for maneuvering. .

But Su Yang has no interest in the 10 draft, and there is no player he particularly wants in the middle and late stages of the first round and the second round.

What about Hassan Whiteside and Lance Stephenson, the Thunder's goal is to defend the title, and there is no time to cultivate it.

It doesn't make much difference if Presti is traded for Larry Sanders or Avery Bradley.

After making up his mind, Su Yang replied to Presti by email, expressing his belief in his professionalism, and suggested that he should take a long-term view, especially in the 11 draft. He only hoped to find a backup shooting guard or point guard with a golf quotient, so that it would be easy to match. Harden.

There are no mandatory requirements for defense, but the running speed must be fast, and the three-point shooting rate must be adequate.

Su Yang didn't ask for anything else. He knew that Presti was under a lot of pressure, because Jeff Green would definitely not send him away, and he had to sign a long-term contract with a high salary to stay. The specific high salary is very troublesome, and it involves the explosion of the Thunder's salary space. time.

Sefolosha will also renew his contract, and Ethan Thomas' garbage contract will be dealt with, and Presti will be very busy.

Su Yang did not participate in the joint trial training held by NBA officials and multiple teams. He has been staying in the company in Silicon Valley in San Francisco, working and entertaining with Jiang Ruolan and others every day. He only took time to read news reports on the day of the draft.

The Heat chose Bledsoe with the 18th overall pick, and then started a deal with the Thunder, packaged and sent Daquin Cook, and got the Thunder's No. 32 protection signs.

There is basically no profit in that kind of transaction, but there is no loss. You should try Daquan Cook and save a lot of work.

The Thunder chose Quincy Ponteside and Craig Briggins for the 26th and 30th picks respectively. Before the official report, they traded with their good friend the Hornets and exchanged for center Cole Aldridge. , and Morrison Peterson.

Su Yang knew very well that Presti wanted to prepare for Chandler's inability to renew his contract with a high salary, and set up a center forward.

That kind of operation is still a bit petty, but it is indeed limited by the salary space and the pressure of the boss Clayton.

On July [-]st, the NBA off-season free market begins.

Su Yang flew back to Oklahoma, met and chatted with Cook and other new players, and communicated with Presti in person by the way.

As he predicted, Wesley Matthews received a huge contract from the Trail Blazers. As an undrafted pick, his salary in the next few years will even be higher than that of the first-round pick. , can only send blessings away.

Presti also made a move to lay off several rookies such as Kyle Waver, allowing Su Yang to determine the final 15-man roster.

Su Yang also felt a little pressure when he got the task. Fortunately, there are nine players who will definitely not move. He only needs to get six places. The summer league and preseason games can provide enough time for inspection, plus the regular season before the All-Stars , definitely enough.

At the end of the chat, Su Yang said that he wanted to recruit free agent McGrady, and he could do it himself if necessary.

Presti readily agreed, and asked Su Yang to prepare to receive the $500 million bonus triggered by winning the championship.

The Thunder Summer League team began to form immediately, but Su Yang still let Snyder be the head coach, and he didn't care about anything.

He himself checked the news on Twitter every day, and deliberately liked the rumor that LeBron was going to New York. After a lot of discussion, he took the opportunity to call on Apple 4 users to download MT, successfully attracted tens of thousands of users, and fully experienced the benefits of LeBron’s popularity. .

On July [-]th, the free agent signing started, and ESPN first broke the news that Bosh joined the Heat and Wade.

The fans quickly started a heated discussion, and the mainstream public opinion became that no matter whether LeBron joins or not, the Heat will become a strong contender for the championship in the new season, and the Heat, as a lineup mainly composed of young players, will inevitably have a great impact on the Thunder defending the title.

Just as the fans were discussing hotly, LeBron announced on the ESPN live broadcast on the [-]th that he would join the Heat.

The Big Three team was formed like that, the amount of discussion on social networks such as Twitter exploded, and countless people instantly became Heat fans.

The major casinos in Las Vegas directly gave the Heat the highest odds of winning the championship, completely ignoring the Thunder, who are aiming to defend their title.

Many people who claim to be Heat fans for ten years went to Su Yang to leave a message on Twitter, claiming that the Heat will definitely beat the Thunder next season.
