I'm a big shot in basketball

Inside the Warriors President's Office.

Chris Cohan sat down on the sofa with a puff. His heartbeat accelerated and his blood pressure soared just now when he shouted excitedly.

Although what Su Yang said was true and he punctured the emperor's new clothes, he was not tactful at all and tortured severely.

He is an Anza billionaire, what is a mixed-race Chinese, he dares to be so rampant, he still came to apply for a job.

What is the market value of [-] million US dollars, so should I be a villain?

Only the Knicks and Lakers have such a high market value in the entire league, and it is difficult for Oakland to raise ticket prices in places.

But that kid Su Yang, judging from the collected information, he does what he says every time. The off-season council meeting mentioned that he will vigorously expand the Chinese market. Could it be that Yao or some other Chinese player is used to increase the market value? Target?

But CNN said that China is very poor, and all made in China are cheap, can they support such a large market value?

Oh, I think what is this for?

Is it really necessary to call Su Yang for peace and re-discuss the possibility of winning the championship in three years and a market value of [-] million US dollars?

"Boom!" There was a knock on the door.

Chris Cohan put away his thoughts, straightened his clothes a little, sat up straight and called in, and the office door opened immediately.

The assistant said that Su Yang's news is being broadcast, you can watch it.

Chris was momentarily speechless.

The assistant didn't know about the conflict with Su Yang just now, but just collected Su Yang's relevant news and materials as required. The main reason is that he couldn't trust the general manager Gary Sean, because Sean had no brains to be optimistic about Su Yang, and strongly recommended Su Yang before the draft began. Served as the chief assistant coach, and then urged himself to fire Jeff Cowens and let Su Yang take over as the head coach. Maybe the two jointly cheated.

"Let's have a look."

Chris breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and followed the teaching assistant to the outside of the office. The TV channel was TNT.

The program is currently broadcasting interviews with reporters. The video shows that a reporter from the Chronicle, the largest local media in Houston, asked why Su Yang was not kept, and why Su Yang was allowed to fly all over the United States for the head coach interview in the past week. Is it too stingy and low salary.

In the program video, Dawson shook his head again and again, and explained with a smile that it was a kind of respect for Su Yang to participate in the interview freely, because even if Su Yang left, he had already made a lot of contributions to the Rockets, including establishing a development path for Griffin and helping Thomas Find a new and efficient way of playing, making Francis an All-Star starter, and some less revealing contributions, far exceeding expectations.

Dawson also said that he was confident to keep Su Yang, because the conditions offered to Su Yang were an annual salary of nearly 200 million US dollars, and taking over his own position as general manager and head coach after five years at the latest. It was difficult for the team that went to the interview to offer equal conditions. It was out of respect for Su Yang to go for the interview, and it also allowed Su Yang to better understand the sincerity of the team through comparison.

Obviously, the rocket management appreciates Su Yang very much.

I heard before that the Nuggets don't want Su Yang to interview, as long as he agrees, he can be the head coach, which is too crazy.

After watching the show, Chris Cohan returned to the office to think, and simply lay down on the sofa to rest.

Ideas flooded in like a flood.

"Why is the condition offered by the Rockets so good, but Su Yang obviously has a strong will to join us?"

"Could it be that the conditions offered by the Rockets are the reason why Su Yang criticized me so confidently and openly? I'm not afraid of losing my job."

"What kind of thinking is he, confident that he can win the championship within three years? We didn't make the playoffs last season, and it is extremely difficult to select rookies at the level of Duncan and Magician. But speaking of it , The team that did not make the playoffs last year and won the championship in the second year, our Warriors have had it twice, once in Philadelphia, and once in Golden State.

We have that heritage. "

While thinking about it, Chris Cohan became more and more curious. He wanted to ask Su Yang why the trouble was so embarrassing. If he really had to put down his face and contact him again, his prestige in the team would be greatly reduced. At that time, he might really need to concentrate Research stock buying and selling.

Don't ask and don't want to be reconciled, the team is hard to achieve results if it continues like this, just like Su Yang said, season tickets are not easy to sell.

After pondering for a while, he called Mu Lin.

In just a few minutes, Mullin knocked on the door and entered.

"What do you think of Su Yang?" Chris Cohan beckoned his assistant to serve coffee. Mullin, as a famous warrior, is a potential general manager candidate. He is considering to succeed Gary Sean. Regarding Mullin's opinion, we can make more changes. Many references.

Seeing Chris's sincere eyes, Mullin thought about it and said directly: "The personality is rather arrogant, but he does have a lot of ideas. I specifically called and asked the acquaintances who appeared in the TNT documentary, and they all spoke very highly of Su Yang.

Especially Coach Tang? Nelson, I know you don't like Tang, but I believe that Coach Tang appreciates him. Coach Tang even specially arranged for Su Yang to stay in a five-star hotel for overnight in order to let Su Yang share more about tactics. "

Chris Cohan nodded, "Then do you agree with Su Yang saying that I am the root cause of the team's quagmire?"

When the topic changed, Mullin hesitated for a moment, "I don't completely agree with what he said, but the team's operation in the past few years really lacked planning, and even the secrecy was relatively poor. Jamison's transaction should not be done. Happened..." The Warriors' decision to draft Jamison was leaked, and the Raptors cut off the difference, and now Carter is still the All-Star voter.

Hearing Mullin's speech, Chris felt chilled, and understood that it was a tactful word. In fact, Mullin had exactly the same opinion as Su Yang. He believed that he was the root cause of the team's sinking into the quagmire. No one dared to say it before, but now he is called Su Yang punctured.

"Then do you think he can handle the guys on the team?" Chris continued to ask, his heart was already shaken.

Mullin nodded, "He can definitely do it. From the fact that he suspended Francis twice and made Eddie Griffin a narrow winner, it is enough to show that his youth is not a problem, and there is no need to worry about his inability to handle the relationship with superstars. Give enough power and support, just like the Rockets, Su Yang suspended Francis twice, the Rockets management fully supported, and did not take care of the superstar."

Seeing that Mullin was a little excited, Chris asked again: "Then you support Su Yang as our head coach?"

"I want to have a better choice, such as being over 30+ years old, coaching or assistant coaching for at least three years, but Su Yang is so amazing, inviting him as the head coach will give us the greatest possibility. It is difficult for other coaches to imagine winning the championship quickly ..."

After listening to Mullin's explanation, Chris understood thoroughly, and then called the chief operating officer in to ask for his opinion.

Chief Operating Officer Robert Lowell also euphemistically expressed partial agreement with what Su Yang said, and at the same time he was very optimistic about the huge potential Chinese market. If there is a strong Chinese player in the team, he doesn’t even need to go to China to sell the team’s peripherals. It is only necessary to authorize the production of Chinese companies. With a population of 12 billion, only 5000 million fans will generate huge peripheral benefits.

Immediately afterwards, Tom Abdenur, the director of sports training, entered the office and asked Chris: How would you comment on the level of Su Yang's sports training guidance? He bluntly said that many teams in the league have already adopted the ball coordination designed by Su Yang. train.

The last to enter the office was General Manager Sean.

According to the plan discussed with Su Yang, Sean said that Su Yang apologized for the previous chat, which was too direct.

It can be regarded as taking the initiative to give a step down.

Celebrity Mullin, Chief Operating Officer Robert Lowell, and Sports Training Director Tom Abdenur agreed that since the apology, Su Yang can be given a chance to show off, as if to pardon Su Yang, Mr. Show mercy.

Chris hesitated for a while, and chose to go down the steps.

His prestige has not been damaged much, and he can still satisfy his curiosity about how to win the championship with a market value of [-] million in three years.

Su Yang received a call and was eating cold noodles in Chinatown, thinking that everything was under control, little Chris.

Then I rushed back to the training base, and in the same conference room, I saw the five-member Warriors interview team again.

Chris apologized for his aggressive words earlier, and said without hesitation, "I want to hear about your plans..."

Su Yang is not worried about hiding something because he has not taken office yet, "The core is to choose Yao Ming next year with the high pick, and at the same time recruit Billups in the off-season, and exchange the team's existing resources for draft picks or proven stars. Take advantage of Yao Ming's rookie salary package, pair Billups and another star player, and a lot of good role players, and quickly hit the championship..."

There is also a window period for the championship. Dayao’s four-year rookie contract + Billups’ five-year middle-class contract is the best period. In the future, both of them will sign contracts with higher salaries, which will make it difficult to have a third star player. Re-think of ways to pick up leaks.

"I don't even ask why Billups was recruited. I want to ask what to do if Billups is not recruited. Besides, the lottery is based on probability or league control. What if Yao Ming is not selected? Then there is no Chinese market? Why [-] million?"

Chris was a little speechless. How to put the foundation of establishing a dynasty on unstable operations is too risky.

Su Yang chuckled, "This is a big gamble, just like the Spurs bet that Tim Duncan will win the championship in the second year. We have to desperately lean in that direction. If we fail to achieve it, we can start a backup strategy. We can choose the team's needs first." Players who make it to the playoffs first,

Or continue to gamble in 03, because there are LeBron and Anthony in 03, just choose one of them.

I would rather bet on the cornerstone for four or five years, than wander around the round of the playoffs every year and fall into the trap of a mid-level team. Like the sun in recent years. "

After listening to Su Yang's explanation, Chris thought for a moment in silence, "According to your thinking, since you can choose Yao Ming with a bad impact and high pick, and recruit Billups with all your strength, why do we need you to operate? Why not someone else?"

Those words made Gary Sean, Mullin and others feel a little disgusted. Su Yang told the plan without reservation, but threatened to fire others, which is equivalent to starting a business with a good idea. Get kicked out.

Of course, there is another meaning, why will you, Su Yang, be better than other coaches at that time?

Su Yang understood Chris's double meaning, and said with a smile: "You can ask Mullin and Sean, the same core, different coaches will have different effects, just like Paul Westhead leading the Lakers, and Pat Riley leads the Lakers..."

The influence of the coach is very great. The Nets led by Jacques Vaughn and the Nets led by Nash are very different in combat power.

Chris was silent for a moment, "Well then, you will serve as the interim head coach first, and start coaching after Christmas. If you can make the team improve quickly and become the official coach directly, I will also satisfy your one-vote veto." claim."

Gary Sean's eyes indicated that he could accept it.

Su Yang shook his head, "I'm not short of jobs with an annual salary of one million dollars, I think I came to the Warriors to reach the upper limit.

If you insist on making such a request,

My request is still that Sean and I have full control over basketball and personnel matters. You completely withdraw and can no longer interfere.

Don't worry about what big garbage we'll make, we can't do worse than you. "

The atmosphere became tense again.

Chris thought for a long time and nodded in agreement.

Su Yang stood up and gave him a high five, and the gamble began.
