Chapter 575 Against Xiao Hua
On December [-]rd, the Kings team flew to Mexico City, Mexico to play an overseas regular season with the Celtics.

The game is specially arranged by the league and is part of the NBA's overseas promotion plan. The Kings, as last season's championship, are naturally allocated indicators, while the Celtics are invited because of their long history, with the intention of attracting more fans for the NBA in Mexico.

This kind of promotion is useless, but the results are calculated, the two teams are forced to play, and the exhaustion is probably exhausted.

Su Yang was speechless.

Taking advantage of the free time while waiting for the plane, I sent an email to Xiao Hua, writing: "The decline in the ratings of the regular season is an irreversible fact, and it will not be changed by the efforts of the league. Because of the birth of mobile media, there will be many more interesting events than the regular season. Things, such as watching live broadcasts, what the league should do is to continue to improve the viewing experience, retain old fans, and let them bring more new fans..."

At the end of the email, there are two suggestions. First, don't let the rules be too favorable for offense, leaving aside fans who like confrontation.

The second is to restrict players from changing teams at will, especially those who have no reason. They just don’t want to play in a certain team. Seriously.

Changing teams at will will reduce fans' long-term attention to the game and emotional building. Today two players are still competing, and tomorrow they will become good brothers. How do you deal with those cruel words from fans, and the gold content of the championship will also decrease accordingly.

Random team formation makes fans in small markets lose hope. The NBA should limit the illegal Big Three model and reduce monopoly.

After sending the email, the plane arrives, the whole team flies to Mexico, then lands in the hotel, catches up to the game scene, participates in the press conference, conducts training in public, attends NBA care activities, takes promotional photos, and so on. .

The game kicks off at seven o'clock in the afternoon.

According to Su Yang's visual estimation, a maximum of 1 people participated, and the arena smaller than the Bucks' home stadium was not full, and the publicity effect was very poor.

According to the results of the previous reading and summary meeting discussion, Quandu played around Alphabet at the beginning. Su Yang gave a thumbs up, then rubbed his thumb on his chest, and shouted "Thumb Rub" at the same time. Curry and others immediately took their positions. A cover run.

Thumb Rub is one of the king's stacked Loop tactical series. It mainly uses the cover of Cousins ​​and Antetokounmpo LaVine to go around to the wing to catch the ball. The ideal situation is to get a shot directly, but the situation is generally not so smooth. It is necessary to connect to the subsequent RUB part. Antetokounmpo will take the opportunity to use Cousins ​​to cover, turn around, catch the ball and rush to the basket.

During the running, Antetokounmpo caught the ball and dunked.

The Kings bench will jump to their feet and cheer.

There were sporadic applause in the arena. The Mexican fans were not too excited, as if they were watching Elva Hsiao and said hey.

The king's follow-up offense and defense then started, relying on the advantage of the lineup to crush the Celtics, leading 32 to 17 in the first quarter.

Angie, the president of the Celtics who was traveling with him, was sitting on the sidelines watching the game, with a rather depressed expression on his face, as if he had won the highest level of rewards in ten consecutive draws, but that reward was the most impressive in the same level, such as Hearthstone Orange Camille Howe Si, as well as the SS-level O'Neal of the 2 version of the NBA08K orange card, and Qiqi, the worst five-star character of Yuanshen, feel very worthwhile, but also feel worthless.

The performance of the Celtics rookie Mudiay made him feel helpless. If Mudiay is not good, the breakthrough is very slippery. It looks like Allen Iverson. If Mudiay is good, a Looking at the statistics is horrible, like Smash Park.

Su Yang hesitated for a moment.

Did he bully the Celtics too hard?

But if you think about it carefully, it is mainly aimed at Angie.

The game started in the second quarter, Thomas Jr. and Turner beat up the Celtics, and the Kings led by 22 points.

After halftime, there was no more suspense in the game.

The fourth quarter turned into a pure exhibition game, with all kinds of three-pointers and dunks. The Mexican fans finally cheered up and cheered loudly.

Mostly it is played simply, and every round can be understood.

There are also many goals, unlike the previous mistakes or iron strikes.

Seeing this, Su Yang thought it was over, and the league staff would definitely use those pictures to talk about it and exaggerate the effect of overseas competitions.

At the end of the game, the Kings won 124 to 97.

全队13人出战，其中7人得分上双，字母哥拿到最高的24分10篮板5助攻。

At the post-match press conference, Su Yang praised Antetokounmpo and said: "Giannis will be a representative of overseas players in the future. He didn't have much professional experience before entering the NBA, and he didn't have much experience in American universities. I believe that Mexico will also have the same experience as him." players, like the former Mexican player Eduardo Najera, we hope to communicate more with the Mexican professional team..."

The post-match interviews are over, and there are business banquets.

Su Yang decisively found a reason, saying that he might have contracted the flu and needed to self-isolate, and instead flew away with the team.

According to the schedule, the whole team flew to Houston nearby, preparing to challenge the Rockets away after a day of rest.

At noon the next day, Xiao Hua replied to Fuyang's email.

First, I would like to thank Su Yang for his suggestions for the expansion of the league. He also pointed out that the overseas regular season is part of the NBA’s ten-year plan and will not be changed easily. Then he emphasized that big data statistics show that games with higher scores tend to have higher ratings, so it is correct to encourage offense .

In short, if you don’t listen or listen, you have to cut defenses, cooperate with bookmakers, and gradually cancel the last 2 minutes of replays...

As for restricting the illegal transfer of stars, it doesn't seem to be that exaggerated. I think Su Yang thinks too much, and monopoly is also a topic.

Su Yang was even more speechless after reading the email.

I thought: "It's time to learn from Sterling, gather some NBA bosses to fight against the president, and restrict Silver from destroying the league's ecology. When Sterling confronted Stern back then, it was because he didn't want to give players benefits, but I was just. The alliance is for the benefit!"

Make up your mind and implement it slowly. At least you must first understand the intentions of those small teams and see how to unite.

The next day, the game between the Kings and the Rockets started.

Howard has returned from injury to participate in the battle, and the Rockets also arranged for Capela to start at the same time, which is a bit of a twin tower mode.

Su Yang predicted that the Rockets would have a lot of double screens, and arranged coping strategies in advance, mainly to switch defenses in advance, and boldly supplement defenses on the weak side, and focus on restricting Harden. Good results were achieved in the first quarter, helping the Kings lead the Rockets 34 to 23.

Back from the second quarter, Harden took the initiative to adjust his playing style, running through the cover continuously, trying to single out Cousins ​​or Jokic by misplacement, and Cousins ​​and Jokic followed Su Yang's pre-match arrangement, and each time they did not hesitate. He hesitated to double-team Harden. Anyway, the Rockets are high inside, and it is difficult to score when Harden is double-teamed. Beverly and Ariza also have corresponding rotations when they receive the ball.

To put it bluntly, it is bullying the Rockets. Only Harden has a strong point of holding the ball outside, and Harden is not given too many opportunities to operate.

The game was playing, and Curry turned it around, using cover moves to train Capela and Howard, and he succeeded repeatedly.

In the end, the Kings won 121 to 112. Curry scored 22 points and 19 assists. If Jokic and Antetokounmpo hadn't scored 16 points, he would have reached 20+, setting a new career record. Deng Kong scored 31 points and 9 assists.

The whole team flew to Oklahoma City overnight.

Take a night off and challenge the Durant-less Thunder.

Westbrook's personal offense was completely liberated, and the new head coach Donovan also fully supported it, and the fans cheered infinitely.

The other Thunder players naturally had no objections.

With that kind of blessing, Westbrook got a large triple-double in halftime, but the Kings rotated with ten players and easily led by 19 points.

After the game, the Kings defeated the Thunder 125 to 98 and won a wave of four consecutive victories. Antetokounmpo scored 25+15.

The whole team flew back to Saskatchewan, ready to face the Jazz.

As soon as Su Yang got off the plane, he received an email from Thunder boss Bennett, expressing his willingness to work with Su Yang to make money for the small ball market.
