I'm a big shot in basketball

With A? Smith couldn't help sighing, major basketball forums began to discuss how strong Su Yang is.

After discussing and discussing, I found that the most amazing thing about Su Yang is that he has never been slapped in the face. Every time he predicts, every time he speaks harshly, they can all be realized very well. The key is not that one trick is popular all over the world, but that various There are all kinds of strategies, just like Jeff Van Gundy said, very boldly trying all kinds of possibilities, completely disregarding the opinions of fans and the media, and looking at history is also considered unique.

Early the next morning, "Sports Illustrated" released a new issue. The headline was an interview with Su Yang. It clearly stated that Su Yang wanted to become the youngest head coach and the first Chinese-American coach in NBA history. restrained.

"Sports Illustrated" also released Rockets general manager Carol Dawson's evaluation of Su Yang in the second article.

"He's a genius.

The way he does things is super efficient, and his perspective on problems is very unique. He has shown his talent for coaching, and he also has the ability to plan player development routes. Before we decided to trade three for one to get Griffin, A strict and meticulous growth plan has been formulated for Griffin. From the perspective of Griffin's summer league schedule, it is completely correct.

In addition, Su Yang also knows how to better organize the team. He has studied the labor agreement very deeply. He has found a loophole in it and submitted it to the league for processing. I believe everyone will see related announcements soon.

I know that as he shows his talents, many teams will want to poach him. In fact, many teams have sent us interview applications, but he has chosen to decline all of them, because I came to the Rockets from him to No. [-]. One day, it was decided to train him as the successor of Rudy and me. The boss, Leslie, also agreed that he should be the successor. All of us liked him very much.

He was born in Houston, and he will realize all his basketball dreams in Houston, and he will become a city hero. "

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Su Yang saw the "Sports Illustrated" issue in the morning, and then saw the relevant comments from Dawson.

Eddie Griffin and others who watched together cheered excitedly, happy for him to be a potential successor.

Su Yang responded with a smile, thinking that Dawson's evaluation is equally good and bad. The good thing is that such a high evaluation reaffirms various abilities from the side, and the bad thing is that it will discourage many teams that may be invited to be the head coach. The manager + head coach + city hero three BUFFs, almost no other team can provide the same treatment, even a bit of a sense of moral kidnapping.

Considering that I still have an annual salary of 3W5, it’s a bit of a fucking thing, but the contract signed when I joined the job, the internship period is indeed six months, and I also got a lot of video analyst assistants in advance. It takes an average of ten years to get the treatment.

It's really hard to say about the treatment.

Not too lazy to think about it, Su Yang led the team to set off and rushed to the Capnino Aquarium to see the little beluga whale and dolphins, went to the Trump National Bowling Alley to play bowling, and had dinner at the Yingxiang Steakhouse to celebrate the six-game winning streak. By the way, prepare for the final battle.

On NO.17 the next day, the Rockets played against the Warriors.

Perhaps because ESPN commentator A? Smith's involuntary exclamation produced a super program effect, and Dawson's super high evaluation in "Sports Illustrated", the number of scouts and players who attended the game seemed to be at least 100 people .

Carter took his cousin McGrady to meet Su Yang, and asked with a smile if he had any suitable tactics to design for his cousin McGrady, implying that Magic coach Rivers would only kill McGrady.Su Yang almost laughed out loud when he heard it, and jokingly replied that there will be an advanced class in the off-season.

Isaiah Thomas also took the initiative to come over to say hello. He said that he was inspired by the previous victory over the Wizards. He hoped that he could cooperate and study more as a coach in the future. He also said that he appreciated Jordan's positive criticism.

Su Yang laughed along, thinking that you probably just like to see me criticize Jordan, and you are the younger brother in terms of tactics.

As soon as Thomas walked away, Heat assistant coach Spoelstraci greeted him with a smile and handed over his business card.Su Yang took it in his hand, sorry that he didn't have the habit of carrying his business card, and he would definitely call after the game was over, and have a chance to have dinner together.

Si Bo is a talent, Su Yang has long thought that he can copy or learn from many offensive and defensive tactics designed by Si Bo in his previous life.

What's more, Spoelstra is also a good person. After leading the Heat to win the championship in his previous life, he called D'Antoni specifically to thank D'Antoni for his many tactics and ideas that inspired him.

After seeing off Spoelstra, he took a photo with a South Korean referee and lamented a few words about the living conditions of Asians in the NBA.

Instead, Arenas came over with a question mark, saying that he was grateful for the suggestion at the draft conference and hoped to communicate more in the future.

Then the game started.

The Warriors lineup is quite strong. Jason Richardson with the fifth pick, Troy Murphy with the No.14 pick, and Gilbert Arenas with the No.30 first pick. In addition, there are breakthroughs and shots, the lineup is reasonable, and the functions are complete.

It is very difficult to defend all of them. Su Yang directly arranged for all members to switch defenses. Anyway, he did not allow easy breakthroughs after pick-and-rolls. Murphy was allowed to face Jason Koller in the paint, and Eddie Griffin was arranged to lead the team at any time. Prepare to shrink containment disturbances.

The defensive end is purely an efficiency-reducing strategy.

On the offensive end, the main guard runs without the ball, bullying Arenas and Richardson to defend without the ball, scoring easily many times, so anxious that Arenas yelled at Murphy for an early delay, but Murphy did it. Koller took the opportunity to steal points.

The seemingly uncomplicated off-ball tactics were praised by Carter, McGrady and others sitting on the sidelines, but they thought it was nothing unusual. It was nothing more than a combination of King Princeton and the Lakers' triangle offense. It would not work without superstar players. .

After halftime, the Rockets led the Warriors 47 to 34 by digging out the details, and many players and scouts left the field.

Assistant coach Mike Wells lamented that the grand occasion could not be maintained for too long, and assistant coach Melvin Hunter said that it was a great honor for so many people to watch the game.Su Yang had no joy or worry, so he took the time to call Spoel, and discuss the off-season co-organized coaching improvement class by the way.

Anyway, if you are idle during the off-season, you will be idle. After the summer league, there will be no work until the end of September, so use it.

The intermission is over and the game continues.

The Warriors made adjustments to their offensive strategy, arranged for Arenas to play shooting guard, and at the same time arranged for Richard to be a small forward, added an extra point guard to speed up the overall speed, and the defensive end to fully compress and release three-pointers. point.

That kind of targeting is also somewhat effective. Arroyo and Dan Lange's three-point deviation on the Rockets' side, Jason Koller's three-pointer is average, and Eddie Griffin and Moon have averaged three-pointers in the previous six games. 3.5 three-pointers, this time the feeling was a bit cold, and the iron was hit in a few open positions. After the Warriors grabbed long rebounds in a row, they abruptly narrowed the point difference to 7 points, creating suspense.

Su Yang thought for a while, and instructed to continue to shoot three-pointers, especially Jason Koller, who continued to shoot as a center, and gave up offensive rebounds at the same time. As soon as the basketball was shot, the whole team immediately turned and returned to defense. Unless the offensive rebound jumped in front of him, he would not give up. Warriors fast break.

That kind of operation quickly paid off. The Warriors' three guards were short overall, and it was difficult to break through and make shots when they were covered in positional battles. They forced their way to the paint and were surrounded by hand speed. Re-lead by 13 points.

The Warriors did not change their tactics, and the Rockets finally won by 18 points, ending the Long Beach Summer League perfectly with a record of seven consecutive victories.

Attend a press conference after the game.

Talking about why he gave up fighting for offensive rebounds in the second half, Su Yang replied: "All means are for winning, and the definition of winning is to score more points than the opponent. Giving up offensive rebounds can well limit the Warriors' quick defense and transition... "No way, as a reborn time traveler, I have seen too many strategies for dealing with fast breaks. This is borrowing the idea of ​​​​Steve Clifford, the Hornet in his previous life.

And Steve Clifford, as Jeff Van Gundy and Stan Van Gundy's assistant, is probably still in use.

Back at the hotel, Su Yang worked overtime overnight to write a report, summarizing and reviewing the Long Beach Summer League trip, and finally recommended Eddie Griffin to be the starting power forward next season as soon as possible. Rhys Taylor.

Not long after the report was sent, the phone rang, and it was Vandeweghe, the general manager of the Nuggets who connected and listened carefully.

"Sue, I invite you to interview for our head coach position. If you are willing, I will apply to Dawson..."
