Chapter 506 A Snickers Bar (Deacon Plus)

On the eighth, the King vs. the Jazz.

Su Yang took McMillan and Mike Brown together and invited Snyder to have lunch. He wanted to talk about the vulgar topic of whether Utah can marry multiple wives, but Snyder crazily complained about the bad weather in Utah, saying that it was cold Don't want to train every day.

The weather is too cold and the ball market is too small. This is probably a common problem of many northern NBA teams. If it is not for the sensitive influence left over from the history of the Civil War, someone will definitely compare the number of championships won by the northern team and the male team. The north will inevitably lose. .

That's probably why people don't choose Jazz for 2K, it's so unpopular, even more unpopular than TM Bobcats.

Fortunately, the new coach Snyder took office, and the Jazz management has no record requirements for the time being, and they have not been held accountable for their 15-loss record in the opening game.

The game started at [-] o'clock, the Jazz grabbed the first attack, and the horn formation started. Favors used Kanter's cross to cover, moved to the right wing position, received a pass from Trey Burke in the middle circle, and then handed it to the right. Alec Burks running out of the bottom corner.

Burks took the ball straight to the top of the arc, used Kanter to cover, raised his hand and passed the ball to 'white LeBron' Hayward on the left wing.

Trey Burke, who passed the ball before, strode to the right waist, made an emergency stop and reversed the wall. Favors took the opportunity to get rid of Green, ran across the paint area to the left waist, and Hayward on the left. Form a high-low connection and gain space with the help of strong and weak transfers.

After watching the Jazz's tactics, Su Yang stood up and applauded Snyder. A variant of Chicago made a move, switched to a strong-side ladder screen, and combined with a reverse UCLA air cut, he got several opportunities in a row. As an opening tactic, very beautiful.

However, Favors' single-handed ability, when he met the defensive champion Chasing Dream Green at the waist position, it was a bit difficult to fight, and he didn't move after two hard chisels, and quickly passed it to Alec Burke who ran to the left wing with the help of a split cover Si, there are only 8 seconds left on the offensive clock.

Alec didn't have any more choices. He took the ball quickly and changed direction twice in advance, and hurriedly faced LaVine's defense and made a mid-range shot.

Basketball clangs like iron.

The almost perfect tactic was in vain.

If it were Kobe and Harden, they would probably hit.

Seeing this, Su Yang silently felt sorry for Snyder for half a second. A clever man can't cook without rice. The Jazz had five starters, and only Hayward reached the starting level of a strong team. Forced to devise complex tactics.

Turning to the King's offense, Curry and Cousins ​​played a pick-and-roll at the top of the arc. The two rushed to the basket at the same time and scored an alley-oop dunk.

It took nine seconds in total.

Easier than jazz, easier than jazz.

Su Yang grinned lightly, thinking that if there is a test library, it is a fool.

The halftime game ended quickly, and the Kings led by as many as 18 points, but they still didn't make much effort, and they were crushed visibly by the naked eye.

Back from the halftime break, in the third quarter, Snyder adopted Su Yang's suggestion and arranged for Gobert to replace Kanter as the center forward. The difference narrowed to 9 points.

When Kanter came back on the field, Su Yang instructed Curry to conduct a military training session. After three minutes of playing, Kanter couldn't find the north, and Kanter's mentality gradually exploded. If there is a technical foul, one point will be awarded for nothing.

Because of the successful military training of Kanter, the Kings gradually returned to the 18-point lead and finally defeated the Jazz 111-92.

In the whole game, Gay had 29 points, 6 rebounds and 3 steals. He worked very hard to get stuck and went around the front, which was obviously not affected.

Waking up early the next morning, Su Yang received an email from Jokic's brother forwarded by Xinji, saying that the brokerage contract between Jokic and Schwartz had been officially terminated, and he had also received an invitation letter from the representative of BDA. Make a decision within a week.

Su Yang drove to the training base instead, and found that Antetokounmpo was really taking the initiative to practice more, and went up to help pass the ball for a while.

During the break, the two sat on the sidelines.

"Giannis, I heard that your manager's name is Jeff Austin. He is a very powerful guy. Does he influence you a lot?"

Antetokounmpo thought for a moment: "Strictly speaking, he is my agent in North America, and my agent in Europe is called Panu. Austin has some influence on me, but he only gives suggestions, and it is up to him to make decisions." Why am I asking this all of a sudden?"

Su Yang nodded, knowing that what Brother Antetokounmpo said was normal, like Dayao, the agent in the United States is Bill Duffy, and the agent in China is another wave, and the agent will also change, so there is a person named Panu Brokers are fine too.

"Some things have happened recently that make me worry about the potential influence of agents and their interference in the team's construction, so make some preparations in advance. Since you make your own decisions, then I completely trust you and don't worry about you being deceived... "

Su Yang changed the subject, "I helped Jokic find an endorsement advertisement, and I plan to invite you to cooperate in the filming. Are you interested?"

"Eh? What's the content?"

"Do you know Snickers? I'm going to copy an ad idea. The scene is a group of people playing ball. Jokic plays a big fat player who is too tired. After eating a Snickers bar, he becomes strong and full of energy." You, then go crazy and score dunks..."

"Sounds interesting, I'll join!"

"Okay, it's settled."

Su Yang entered the office, contacted the Snickers official, discussed the endorsement as scheduled, and presented advertising ideas.

Snickers sent people to Saskatchewan to shoot the commercial in the afternoon. It only needed Jokic and Antetokounmpo to do a few actions, say a few lines, and sign the contract. It took less than two hours to get everything done, and an endorsement was easily done. , the business norms are very mature.

Jokic's brother thanked Su Yang again and again for getting the endorsement so quickly without giving the agent a share.

On the [-]th, the Kings flew to Los Angeles to challenge the Lakers. They were overwhelmed by hard power. Seven players from the team scored in double figures and won a big victory.

The whole team flew back to Saskatchewan and took a day off to face the Suns. Su Yang found out that Hornacek had replaced PJ Tucker to the starting position.

But Antetokounmpo mainly plays air cuts and rarely attacks with the ball. LaVine and Curry are fast, and it is difficult for Tucker to defend.

Tucker was very awkward in the starting lineup, basically only three-pointers from the corner, and Bledsoe rarely passed the ball, so he could only count on Dragic.

The Suns' previous starting center, Plumlee, was also removed, and the replacement Alex was even more useless. Cousins ​​went berserk with 24 points in the half, and the Suns were in a slump. Lumley played, and Cousins ​​flew a kite in a high position to show off. In the end, Cousins ​​played alone to collapse the Suns' defensive system and led the Kings to defeat the Suns 119-101.

NO.13, the Kings faced the Pistons back to back and won lightly.

Su Yang once again paddled for the whole game. The main reason was that Josh Smith was negotiating a buyout with the Pistons. His agent, Dan Fagan, blatantly manipulated Josh to go to the Rockets. Van Gundy played blind too.

Seeing that Josh didn't even improve his defense, Su Yang secretly rejoiced: "No wonder Schwartz will force the Pistons to buy out Griffin's contract in the future. Trying to bully..."

This is just like being bullied and not fighting back in school will attract more bullies, and giving in will only make you look weak.

After playing the Pistons, the Kings rested for two days, beat the Thunder and the Bucks in a row, rested for another three days, and beat the Lakers with difficulty.

In a twinkling of an eye, on December 22, the Kings flew from Sacramento to Golden State overnight to challenge the Warriors back-to-back. After fighting hard for four quarters and losing by nine points, LeBron scored 12 points, 18 assists, 8 rebounds, 3 steals and 3 blocks.

"It's over, LeBron, who doesn't care about statistics, only took 38 shots in 9 minutes of his appearance, and he didn't even deliberately rush to the basket!"

After the game, Su Yang stared at the statistical analysis of the Warriors' data and confirmed that Cole had found a perfect and efficient way to use LeBron.

The Warriors are bound to be the King's archenemy in the West.

On the plane back to Saskatchewan, Antetokounmpo found Su Yang: "Coach, Snickers has settled the endorsement fee. I will transfer the commission to Jeff Austin and plan to terminate the brokerage contract with him as soon as possible. You Stop worrying about potential threats..."

Hearing this, Su Yang thought that Brother Antetokounmpo would be able to come.

The two cores are far away from strong agents, and the hidden dangers of the Kings have temporarily disappeared. As for Curry, there is no need to worry about it, don't do it too hard.

The focus of work became the night of the Christmas game, defeating the Houston Rockets who had just acquired Josh Smith at home.

That was difficult. Harden scored 40 points in three quarters last time, super tough.
