Chapter 244 Seven Heroes Fight for Hegemony
The ESPN report sparked a lot of discussion.

Most fans think it is nonsense. The consortium headed by Thunder owner Clayton spent US$3.5 million to buy the team, and then spent US$8000 million to relocate to Oklahoma City. Including the initial expenses of the team, at least 5 million was invested.

As for Su Yang's MT app, it just provides the function of sending text messages. Twitter and Facebook can do it. The so-called valuation of 20 billion US dollars is definitely a common means of capital arbitrage. If you want to attract more investment, you can speculate in stocks in the future. make money.

Some fans also questioned, since Su Yang's MT application has such great potential in the future, why is he still a head coach? He really loves basketball, but he is still worried that he will not be able to reach that level.

Some fans directly sent private messages or left messages to ask, Su Yang tweeted: "As some people guessed, I really love basketball, and I really want to do both jobs. Oklahoma City fans and MT users can rest assured that I have the ability to work at the same time. do well..."

That explanation has won the approval of many fans. Both guesses are true, and human nature is so complicated.

NO.16, Su Yang rushed to the new office of MT in Silicon Valley, and began to recruit game production talents according to the plan made before.

Jiang Ruolan participated together, and the two spent four days discussing with twelve interviewees in detail, but Su Yang was not satisfied with any of them.

The main mobile games are very different from PCs and consoles. For the time being, some games such as "Happy Xiao Xiao Le" will be made. Those interviewees either feel that they are too low-level, or their thinking is limited, and they think it is difficult to make innovations and cannot be recognized by the market.

However, the level design of games such as "Happy Match" is indeed difficult, and it is not enough to just make up three combos.

The game production plan can only be temporarily abandoned, and Su Yang sets off to return to Oklahoma to make the next step.

Jiang Ruolan drove him to the airport, and when they parted, she suddenly said, "Have you considered coaching the Golden State Warriors?"

Su Yang was stunned when he heard this, Jiang Ruolan continued: "That way the company will be very close, even if you still have to fly many away games every season, at least you can rush to the company quickly after training every day, then we will have more A lot of time."

Su Yang thought for a moment, then shook his head slightly: "I haven't considered it yet, but in fact, the company can also be relocated to other places."

The biggest advantage of Internet companies is that they are almost not restricted by the infrastructure of the city where they are located. MT was first established in Silicon Valley, mainly for the convenience of talent recruitment and low taxation. After stabilization, there is not much difference, such as changing to Los Angeles.

At the same time that Su Yang returned to Oklahoma City, the 11 All-Star Weekend came to an end, and Kobe won the AMVP on behalf of the West.

Durant is still in the three-point contest, shooting the lowest 6 points after the rules were changed. Hang and beat.

On the contrary, Harden scored 30 points on behalf of the second grade in the Rookie Challenge, but it was a pity that the first grade finally won the game.

On the whole, the All-Star tour of the Thunder's three young men was just to join in the fun, but fortunately they didn't play too crazy.

At eight o'clock in the morning on the 21st, Su Yang landed at the Oklahoma City Airport and drove directly to the Thunder Training Base in his assistant's car.

The team officially resumed training after the All-Star Weekend. Durant and others are all here, and they are in a good state of mind.

As usual, the whole team warmed up with shooting first. They chatted about the recent transaction. They were all surprised that the Celtics sent Perkins to the Mavericks. After all, the Mavericks were short of a tough insider. The strength is bound to increase greatly.

Anyway, no matter what you say, Perkins is stronger than Dampier, and the contract is about to expire. The Mavericks can choose to renew the contract during the off-season, or they can choose to enter the free market. It all depends on how Perkins performs. Absolutely Make sure you don't lose.

The generals of the Thunder also felt that the Green Army was cold-blooded and ruthless. Perkins was the hero who won the championship, but he was sent away because of injuries.

Hearing the discussion among the players, Su Yang thought to himself that this is ruthless, and Angie has even more ruthless operations to show to the entire league.

In addition to the Celtics trade, the Rockets also sent away Battier and Brooks, which is a complete entry into a new era.

The players excitedly discussed that Battier might be bought out by the Grizzlies, and then join the Heat with a basic salary, making the Heat stronger. After all, Battier’s contract has only one season left, and his three-point shooting and wing defense ability ranks absolutely in the league. Top fifteen.

Two days of training ended in a blink of an eye. On the 22nd, the first game after the All-Star Game, the Thunder flew to Los Angeles to challenge the Clippers away.

The Clippers sent away Baron Davis and an unprotected first-round pick in 2011 during the All-Star period, and got Mo Williams and Jamario Moon from the Cavaliers, resulting in an already chaotic offensive system. Can't play basic pick-and-rolls well.

The Thunder kept suppressing all the way, and finally won 111 to 88. The substitutes Harden and Green scored 46 points.

The whole team flew to San Antonio overnight to challenge the Spurs back to back and consolidate the league's first ranking.

The Spurs have played 56 games, only lost 10 games, and are 4 wins behind the Thunder. Bulls are so topical.

The game kicked off at 6:[-] p.m., and the Thunder were in full swing in the first quarter, but the Spurs also felt hot, only leading by [-] points.

In the second quarter, the game turned into a battle to block the paint. Both teams were forced to shoot more three-pointers. As a result, the Spurs made 5 of 4 shots and the Thunder made 6 of 0 shots. As a result, at the end of the half game, the Thunder trailed the Spurs by 6 points Trapped in fouls and turnovers.

Returning to the locker room after the halftime break, Su Yang emphasized that the tactics are fine, but the lack of physical strength affects the touch, reminding the Thunder generals to maintain self-confidence: "You have to learn from KD, think about his second-worst rookie performance in the history of the three-point contest ..."

The Thunder generals laughed, and then returned to the court to participate in the third quarter. After a bang bang bang shot, they really regained their touch.

The Spurs couldn't find any other way on the defensive end, so they could only pull the Thunder to attack, but they could score crazy.

In the end, with Durant's three-pointer and Harden's free throw, the Thunder narrowly beat the Spurs 109-107.

After the game, the Thunder flew to Orlando, ready to challenge the Magic who returned from back-to-back away games after a day of rest.

Early the next morning, as the trade deadline approached, various transactions were completed one after another, and Anthony's trade farce was completely over.

The Knicks pulled the Timberwolves, completed a three-way deal with the Nuggets, sent away Wilson Chandler and others, and got Billups and Anthony. In an instant, many media and fans thought that the Knicks would become at least a powerful player in the Eastern Conference finals. competitor.

With the end of Anthony's trade, fans believe that the second half of the league season will be a seven-hegemony situation. The Thunder, Spurs, Lakers, and Mavericks in the west, and the Heat, Celtics, and Knicks in the east. The championship must come from these seven teams. produced in.

Just before the game between the Thunder and the Magic, Su Yang was interviewed by a TNT reporter and talked about the prospects of the Knicks.

"They have seasoned veterans and dynamic newcomers who have bright futures..."

Su Yang said that, but he lamented in his heart that the Knicks management is a bad idea. Anthony obviously does not adapt to D'Antoni's tactical system. No matter how he handles it in the end, either signing D'Antoni is a joke, or trading for Anthony is a joke.

The game between the Thunder and the Magic then started, and the Magic were seriously lacking in all their strength. The Thunder won by 23 points.

The whole team then set off to return to Oklahoma City. WOJ simultaneously reported that the Wizards would buy out Bibby, and the Heat wanted to make a move.

Many fans have left messages and comments. The mainstream view is that if the Heat can successfully acquire Bibby, they can let LeBron concentrate on scoring, so that they can play the best strength of the Heat in order to fight the Thunder in the finals.

Fans have heated discussions about signing Bibby with the Heat's minimum salary, but few people have noticed that the gossip website TMZ broke the news that inside the Thunder consortium, they are quite annoyed and humiliated by the news that Su Yang's future assets will be dozens of times more than theirs.
