I'm a big shot in basketball

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Colangelo and his team arrived at the Warriors training base, and Su Yang briefly introduced the team.

Turning to the office for a detailed chat, Colangelo said directly: "You are our No. 1 pick, the second pick is Duke University coach Mike Krzyzewski, and the third pick is the Spurs coach. Popovich, we put you first,

It is because you have a strong ability to design offensive and defensive tactics, and the ability to combine superstar players like Garnett, stabbing players like Arenas, and special players like Billups and Eddie Griffin , I believe you can build and maximize the strength of this American Dream Team. We have lost too much in the Indiana World Championships and the Athens Olympics.

As a U.S. citizen, as a basketball practitioner,

We can no longer sit back and watch USA basketball lose its dominance,

I know that you are in China because you have some business that needs to be developed by leading the Chinese men's basketball team to achieve good results. We can also prepare opportunities for you to expand your business territory, as long as you lead the team to win the championship and let the American men's basketball team return. The top of the world, then I, as the general manager of the American men's basketball team, I assure you that in the future, the team's various materials, jerseys, shoes, hotel brands, uniform orders, etc. will give priority to your bidding, even including you partner bids,

Do you see any other needs? "

Su Yang smiled lightly,

Colangelo's words are very content, both patriotic sentiment agitation, but also the temptation of substantial interests, anyway, cooperation in bidding for various supplies of the US team, there is a lot of money to be made, just like after Obama became president , The medical insurance website was handed over to his wife's classmate, and then spent 21 billion US dollars. It was paralyzed and unable to access on the day it went online, and the money was legally taken.

So there is no burden for Colangelo to say those promises. It is a normal thing in the United States and completely legal.

Anyway, I don’t have those products, so I can designate a partner, such as twenty sets of Dior suits from Fei Na’s family,

Just a small $100 million.

But Colangelo is a bit weird in rushing to find himself to lead the team. He can let the old K lead the team. There is no need to "look at the thatched cottage" to invite himself. Maybe he is worried that the old K, as a college coach, will not be able to suppress a group of big names. NBA players.

It is also possible that I have already talked with old K, but I think old K is not very good. The main reason is that old K is still relatively arrogant. Several interviews have talked about whether the American men’s basketball team will improve and adopt a zone defense strategy after losing. Old K only needs to think that single defense is enough. Can.

Some coaches are unwilling to use zone defense because they think it is a women's basketball tactic, and they think it is impossible to distinguish who is responsible for the defensive loopholes. Old K is one of the representatives, and Popovich and Phil Jack are also typical representatives. of two.

Colangelo must understand that the current U.S. team uses a zone defense. For the team in the 04 Athens Olympics, Iverson and Marbury’s backcourt, the consequence of not using zone defense was that Puerto Rico point guard Arroyo beat him. burst.

If you have a backcourt like Kobe + Kidd, it's understandable not to use zone defense, but the two are really hard to invite.

After thinking for a moment, Su Yang said, "I'm very happy, but I have a special request. I want to fully own the personnel from the coaching staff, trainers, video analysts, tactical scouts, equipment management, external spokespersons, and logistics management. Appointment and removal authority,

I don't name all of my own people, I just hope that if someone fails, I can easily replace,

Then there is still competition. "

It is equivalent to a veto. Colangelo can recruit whoever the uniform team uses, but I can fire.

"Okay! No problem."

Colangelo laughed, "If you want to have authority, it will save me time and energy. I don't care. You can directly bring your team of warriors over. No one dares to object. You are the most powerful person in history. Great team builder."

Originally, he was going to ask for full authority to invite and remove players, but after hearing that, Su Yang stopped talking.

Instead, he said: "In the past two major competitions, the main reason for the failure of the Dream Team was the deformed lineup. In the 02 World Championships, Brandon and Ben Wallace were the insiders. Possess explosive equalization ability,

As for the Athens Olympics in 04, the shooting in the backcourt was too poor, and Duncan couldn’t support himself on the inside. In the two major competitions, there were big problems from the beginning of the formation of the lineup. He underestimated other national teams. This time I will use a lineup with no shortcomings. . "

"Yes, you are right."

Colangelo nodded again and again, "Pride makes people fall behind. We will not make such mistakes in the future. I fully support you." As an old Jianghu who was born in 39 and is now 66, he talks like a child, and he is afraid that it will cause trouble. The atmosphere is wrong.

Su Yang was keenly aware of Colangelo's complex emotions of flattery and coaxing, and guessed that Colangelo was looking for him because he should be fighting for the descendants of his family. After all, Colangelo is not short of money, but Colangelo is a It is a big family, with family members involved in politics, business and entertainment. As a promising young man, he has been paying attention to him since he was a coach.

Anyway, according to the historical trajectory, Jerry Colangelo sent his son to Bryan to send him to the NBA.

Italian descendants are able to form associations and make relationships.

No wonder there are so many gangsters.

After the matter was settled, Su Yang took advantage of the opportunity to invite Jerry to have dinner at the Murloc's Wharf, and then returned to Atherton's home. Taking advantage of the fact that Beijing time was already noon, he called Mr. Jiang and said that he had decided to accept the U.S. Men's Basketball Head Coach Jobs,

Should have continued to lead the Chinese men's basketball team,

But I have a big plan, mainly to confuse the American men's basketball team to continue to look down on other teams in the world in 08, so as not to form a super team and become invincible because of three consecutive failures in major competitions, and then I will try to be the head coach of the men's basketball team in 08.

Before he finished speaking, Mr. Jiang said that there is no need to talk too much. It doesn't matter what you think, and it's okay to help both sides.

The reality is smaller.

"I understand that you are worried that domestic fans and the media think you have abandoned and betrayed, but you have a special status. Since you choose both China and the United States to have a career, you have to bear groundless accusations and doubts. Instead of explaining to me in advance, it is better to be honest with the fans.

How can we avoid it because of misfortune and good fortune, Xiao Su. "

"Been taught a lesson."

Su Yang hung up the phone, and then called the person in charge of the Basketball Association, briefly explaining why he took over as the head coach of the US team. He didn't want to talk about the deep-seated plan. Anyway, just blame him. He always takes advantage of both sides and has no loss. That's too much easy.

The next day, June [-], the Warriors played their first game against the Heat at the Oracle Center in Oakland.

ESPN is in charge of the live broadcast, crazily implying that this will be the finals with the lowest gold content in history, because Wade's injury has greatly reduced the Heat's strength, not to mention that the Warriors also have Garnett's injury and Posey's poor return from injury.

The city governments of Oakland and San Francisco both called for leaving get off work an hour earlier, and tens of thousands of fans who did not get tickets rushed to wait outside the Oracle Center early.As usual, Su Yang arranged for the staff to distribute small fans and heat-relieving drinks purchased in Yiwu.

Su Yang arranged warm-up training, and then rushed to the media center for an interview. He talked about Pat Riley saying, "The Heat will not give up. They can win even without Wade. The overall defense in the West is not as good as that in the East. It will give the proud Warriors A little lesson...',

"Riley is right. The overall defense of the Eastern Conference is indeed better than that of the Western Conference. Of the ten teams with the lowest points per game, there are six in the Eastern Conference and only four in the Western Conference. There are more in the East…”

Riley's speech was quite polite. He probably wanted to delay the game for three games first, and then see if he could make Wade come back later.

Anyway, he was very cruel to Wade.

At the pre-match ceremony at six o'clock, Beyoncé led the annual national anthem.Su Yang went on to make an opening speech, thanking Alba and Hathaway and other star friends who came to watch the game, as well as Google founder Larry Page and Microsoft President Ballmer and others.

Larry Page stopped by to see the development of Youtube and Android, and Ballmer wanted to ask how to better acquire the team, because Seattle Supersonics owner Schultz is going to sell, but there are several consortiums ready to compete, the pressure a bit big.

The game starts at [-]:[-].

The Heat arranged for Rasoul Barrett, who made 37% of his three-pointers this season and 46% last season, to replace Wade. With Eddie Jones and others, as well as O'Neal, it felt like a star, while the Warriors Here Griffin replaces Garnett.

The game started, O'Neal won the jump ball,

The Heat took the lead in attacking and dawdled for a full 21 seconds before Eddie Jones made a hasty three-pointer.

Seeing this, Su Yang chuckled, "They didn't play resolutely enough, much weaker than I imagined. He wants to win conservatively and looks down on us." Between the words, the Warriors launched a fast break and advanced in four directions. Si rushed to the basket and scored a dunk in 8 seconds.

Easy side Heat attack again, one inside and four outside to play the ball for O'Neal, but the Warriors shrank the interference in advance and quickly returned to the defense. In a daze, O'Neal was double-teamed as soon as he got the ball, and then took the opportunity to steal the inside pass and try to pass it Haslem basketball,

Another easy counter-attack fast break score.

The two teams went back and forth, and the Warriors had a very clear strategy. On the defensive end, they tried not to let O'Neal receive the ball. On the offensive end, they used more pick-and-rolls to target O'Neal.

The biggest problem for the Heat is that apart from O'Neal, no one else can score stably. Russell Butler faced Prince, who was at a disadvantage in height, wingspan and weight, and had no offensive ability to hold the ball. Eddie Jones faced pull-ups. Gar Bell couldn't get rid of it.

As for Haslem, the shooting speed of the CIC is too slow, and Griffin can basically return to the defense to interfere after assisting the defense.

Heat point guard Kenyon? Dooling was given nothing to the seasoned Billups. The Heat scored only 29 points in the first half.

Back from the halftime break, the Heat began to grab three-pointers in an attempt to comeback. However, the Warriors were prepared and the referees were not biased to help. The Heat only made 12 of 2 three-pointers in the third quarter, and they continued to shoot in the fourth quarter. Brush the feeling of proficiency.

After the game, the Warriors beat the Heat 112 to 66.

At the press conference after the game, when talking about whether the 46-point victory had lost the pressure to celebrate, Su Yang said with a smile: "I have already reminded the players in the locker room not to be fooled by Pat Riley's tricks. win the first game,

Then deliberately lose so much to let our guard down, we can't go to Miami to play nightclubs on the road..."
