start with scouting

Chapter 273

After summarizing the information from all parties, Su Yang found that he had encountered many things and faced great troubles.

He was not in a hurry, and after thinking for a while, he called his assistant Taylor first, instructing him to sell some of the Apple shares he bought earlier, and then transfer the remaining deposits in his personal account to MT, striving to solve the long-term and immediate financial problems together.

MT has recently encountered funding problems, mainly due to the full spread of advertising and marketing, and the original budget was not done well, the cost was underestimated, and the expansion of servers and other miscellaneous things, the overall expenditure was a bit explosive, and the company account was short of funds.

Sequoia Capital is willing to invest more, but Su Yang doesn't want to be split out of shares, it's not worth it.

However, the problem of shortage of funds still needs to be resolved, and the only way to temporarily use private savings is to empty out the family.

After the phone call, Su Yang lamented that he still had to find a way to get a fixed income. The next coaching contract would require at least 800 million annual salary.

After solving the problem of lack of funds, he called Jiang Ruolan again, saying that there is no need to worry about the privacy investigation, and he will delay it with the department in charge of the investigation. Those people are just bluffing and intimidating, and it is estimated that the interest group wants to divide part of MT's equity .

Jiang Ruolan was quite curious about his reasoning, but she didn't question it, and went to a lawyer to file a lawsuit as he asked for the ball.

As a person who has experienced the magical age of the 20s, Su Yang has seen too many times how Americans coerce Chinese people to start Internet companies, such as Douyin Xiaomi, who has rich experience in anti-struggle, and will neither surrender nor Recklessly.

After hanging up the phone, Su Yang lamented that he must be more famous, otherwise the Americans would grab tens of billions of dollars if they wanted to.

After the company's affairs are done, the team's affairs are put aside for the time being. Let's sleep happily before making plans.

In the morning of No.11 in a blink of an eye, Su Yang drove to the training base, deliberately having breakfast and watching the news by the way.

Although it has been a day and a night since the Thunder lost Game [-], discussions on Twitter and other social platforms are still hot. Some fans found out that Su Yang and Westbrook did not respond, so they went to the Twitter accounts of Durant and Harden. Leave a message and spray wildly.

Harden chose to temporarily close the comments, while Durant excitedly chatted with those fans, and there was still a reply at one o'clock in the morning.

Browsing through several popular tweets in a row, Su Yang issued fans’ complaints mainly focusing on the Thunder’s defensive strategy. I don’t understand why Jordan has to squat to block LeBron, and I don’t understand why he has to choke the passing route and let the waves go. What a shot.

There are also fans who privately message Su Yang at length, suggesting that he use shark-slashing tactics against LeBron. Although the idea is a bit difficult to implement, it is still possible. After all, LeBron’s average free throw percentage in the playoffs is only 76.3%. Relatively poor.

Su Yang didn't pay any attention to it. He waited until eight o'clock to finish his breakfast. He saw the rest of the coaching staff, the scouting department, and the trainer team, including Durant and other players. He decided to hold a discussion meeting with a lot of people on the spur of the moment. , coordinate the overall situation.

"Starting with Durant, please share all your questions and concerns, and I will give you a full answer..."

After everyone sat down, Su Yang took the initiative to act as the host of the meeting. He raised his hand to signal Durant to start his speech. He knew that the team was in danger of being eliminated after losing three games in a row. Except for himself, everyone had some thoughts in their hearts that needed to be resolved.

"I want to know what adjustments will come next. I saw James Harden being targeted by the Heat. Like G5, he was fouled 6 times and we were reversed. If I'm not mistaken, we don't seem to have a particularly good solution. Method?"

"We have arranged a solution before, but the execution effect is not obvious. I will talk to James alone..."

Su Yang thought over and over again, but did not choose to tell the truth, because Harden was targeted by the Heat, especially if Harden was allowed to make an emergency stop for mid-range shots. to solve.

Harden didn’t like mid-range shooting because he started in college, not because of magic ball or other factors. Three-pointers + basket + free throws are almost all of Harden’s scoring methods, so it matches the magic ball theory. Most of his shots are standing on both feet. It started after that, and the defender needs to retreat obviously to give space before he can make a mid-range shot, so the Heat crazily targeted it through close defense.

Ordinarily in that situation, Harden should rush to make an emergency stop like Kobe, but Harden doesn't like to do that, which leads to the obstruction of the offensive end, and the irritability and distraction of the defensive end, which are then used by the Heat to make fouls, forming a vicious circle Difficult to solve.

The key point is that even if Harden makes a mid-range shot, most of them make a sudden stop to pull the ball and then retreat, and rarely pull up the mid-range shot like Kobe.

Considering that, Su Yang is unwilling to publicly talk about Harden's weakness, let alone his weakness in the direction of psychology.

Durant nodded silently, but he didn't get the answer he wanted, he just wanted to believe that Su Yang would do what he said.

The other players did not follow up with questions, and the order of speeches automatically rotated to the team doctor and trainer O'Malley. He spoke calmly: "After our inspection last night, Tyson Chandler's toe injury is recovering well..."

Between the words, O'Malley emphasized that Chandler could come back to participate in the sixth game, but the effect is not expected to be very good. The team medical department can cooperate to issue a proof of play, and the final decision is in the hands of the coaching staff, that is, Su Yang.

"We will discuss this matter later..."

In the face of everyone's curious eyes, Su Yang waved his hand to express the next question, whether Chandler will play, and he also wants to ask Chandler what he thinks. After all, everyone knows that the Thunder will not renew Chandler's contract. Fighting with wounds is related to tens of millions of dollars.

The other trainers have no doubts. The scouting department headed by Blatche said that they have new ideas to discuss. They then started deduction and found that the benefits should not be too high. There is no need to take risks to make changes. Don’t make the situation collapse. .

After chatting for more than half an hour, everyone was no longer in doubt, Su Yang finally made a decision: "There is no problem with the tactics, come back to the end!"

The Thunder team really didn't think there was a problem with the tactics, especially Durant. Although he was fined [-] US dollars, he still bluntly said that the loss of [-] points in three games was completely the result of the referee's bias towards the Heat. race trend.

Then the sixth game was played at the Ford Center at home, and the referee on duty did not have any conflicts with the Thunder.

At the end of the meeting, Su Yang rushed to the training ground and found that Chandler had just arrived, so he decided to confirm with Chandler whether to play.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Chandler said sincerely: "Coach, to be honest, I don't feel quite ready yet, but if you want me to play, I can play, because you asked me to play." With today's achievements..."

Su Yang nodded when he heard the words, and jokingly said: "Then I need you to go to the next game, cheering and working harder..."

It is really unnecessary to let Chandler play with injuries, mainly because the risk of re-injury is greatly increased, and the actual effect will not be very good.

After chatting with Chandler, Su Yang found Harden again and said seriously: "James, we need to shoot more mid-range shots."

A simple sentence, no complicated foreshadowing, no sensational words, and no forceful orders.

Harden hesitated for a moment, nodded reluctantly, and talked about the unexpected smoothness. It is estimated that Harden also felt the need for a mid-range shot.

After training in the morning, Su Yang stayed at the training base to eat some fruit and sliced ​​sausage, accompanied by assistant coach Brian.

After a while, Presti sat next to him and whispered: "I learned half an hour ago that you decided to let Tyson continue to truce, I believe in your professionalism, and I also support your decision, but we are facing some extra pressure , do you see..."

Su Yang nodded in response, and learned from Presti's words: the board of directors composed of eight bosses hoped that Su Yang would come forward to persuade Chandler to play with injuries and do everything possible to ensure the victory of the game, but Presti made a compromise to let Chandler false starts.

The so-called false starting is to publicly announce Chandler's return from injury and start the game, mainly to inspire the team's fighting spirit, and then replace it after a few rounds.

Su Yang put down the sliced ​​sausage, thought for a long time, shook his head and said: "You can't use up the precious timeout at will, let alone wait for a dead ball or a free throw to replace Chandler at a certain moment, mainly because it will destroy the offensive and defensive system that has been polished for four games... "

He didn't have to fight against the eight bosses and management, but he really felt that there was no need for Chandler to fight with injuries in all directions.

After listening to Su Yang's explanation, Presti nodded to express his understanding, then got up and left, as if to communicate with the boss.

Assistant coach Brian hesitated to speak, and was a little worried about such a decision, after all, he refused the boss's request one after another.

Su Yang himself is not worried, the point is to win the game, it doesn't matter whether the boss is happy or not.

What's more, the old Nelson has already done such things as refusing the boss to let the players play with injuries, and he just followed suit.
