I'm a big shot in basketball

hang up the phone,

Su Yang left the Draft Operations Office and rushed straight to the infield. He saw Durant was being interviewed with his mother, and resolutely avoided the media cameras to take pictures. Anyway, he would not have any contact with Durant for the time being, so as to save Ballmer's face. At least pretend that after Durant is selected, in fact, I am not so enthusiastic. I just let Sean handle the press conference the day after tomorrow, and I don’t show up.

It is also to give Durant a little spur, implying that although he is very optimistic about him, he needs to work hard to prove it.

Turning to walk to the main stage of the draft, I heard people from ESPN talking about who the Warriors might choose with the tenth pick.

Chatter Ford, known as a draft expert, said that the Warriors will choose Sean Williams from Boston University, because the Warriors lack power forwards after sending Garnett away, and Sean Williams is exactly the type the Warriors need. He is good at defending and blocking shots, and has excellent athletic ability and can rotate to fill in. He is Su Yang's favorite. As for Sean's involvement in marijuana, it is a trivial matter for Su Yang.

After all, Eddie Griffin, who was even more difficult to deal with, obediently listened to Su Yang's arrangements, and even became very dedicated from a problem player.

Well-known columnist Bill Simmons said that the Warriors will choose Yi Jianlian from China, because Su Yang will completely give up competing for the championship next season and focus on training rookies. Choosing Yi Jianlian can also better prepare for the 08 Olympic Games.

Because next year's 08 Olympic Games will be held in Beijin, which belongs to China's home stadium, and if it defends the title, there will be a huge bonus.

As for those rumors that the Warriors have become the Chinese team, Su Yang doesn't care at all, because Su Yang is already a billionaire with at least $30 billion, and has won five consecutive championships to achieve a dynasty, and is still building orthopedics in the name of the team Hospital,

Being double favored by the Republican Elephant Party and the Democratic Donkey Party, coupled with his contacts in China, his status as the son-in-law of the first French group, and even a little bit of British blood, he is one of the most connected people in the world, as long as there is no violation of the law , no one can stop it.

During the discussion among the four ESPN guests, Stern walked out from the middle of the stage with a smile, raised his hand and looked at the small card and read: "The 2007th overall pick in the first round of the [-] NBA draft, the Golden State Warriors chose the player from the University of Florida. Joakim Noah."

After the voice fell, the four ESPN guests were embarrassed,

I never thought that the Warriors would choose Noah. I used to analyze that the Warriors already had Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, Randolph Morris, and Josh Powell as four players who could play centers. The four players who can serve as small forwards, Granger, Jackson and PJ Tucker, still choose Durant, and they have not been traded yet.

Su Yang watched the funny performance of the ESPN quartet, and went straight to the side of the stage to wait. From a distance, he saw Noah running over excitedly, with twin ponytails, afro-like eyes, and uncoordinated movements. Really unforgettable.

"Coach, I'm ready to train!"

Noah rubbed his hands excitedly, wanting to hug but didn't dare, like a child in the first class of kindergarten who was praised by the teacher just now.

Su Yang raised his hand to give him a high-five, "I expect you to be the best defensive player, and I also hope that you can be selected to the best team. Don't underestimate your offensive ability and give full play to your basketball IQ. Only got 4 points in the final,

Also use your coping ability to be a center who is good at rebounds, blocks, steals, assists and dunks.

I will train you towards your idol Kevin Garnett, but I suggest you don't ask him for an autograph. "

"OK, I will try 100%!"

Noah scratched his head in confusion, wondering why he suggested that it would be best not to ask Garnett for his autograph.

After chatting for a while, Su Yang arranged for Noah to be interviewed, and then prepared to return to the draft operations office. He passed by the ESPN commentary booth and heard Bill Simmons sigh: Why can the Warriors win five consecutive championships?Because every time they draft, Su Yang will rush to the scene to welcome the selected rookie players, so that the sense of participation of the rookie players is instantly bursting, and Xia Tian frantically devotes time to training,

The growth rate will be much faster than the rookies of the same class. Are there other bosses in the league who can do it?no?So the Warriors' five consecutive championships are not only very lucky, but there are many things we have never seen before. It may not be that simple to choose Durant this time.

Hearing such words, Su Yang thought that you should stop talking, because it would easily arouse the association of the supersonic management.

Hurrying back to the office, the focus of the discussion changed to the selection of the 30th and 60th picks. Su Yang bluntly said that he has no favorite player. With Noah, he is too lazy to trade more draft picks to choose Gasol Jr. Not so many resources to cultivate.

"With the 30th pick, we adjusted our plan to give up Josh McRoberts and choose Carl Landry from Vincent University. riffin,

Just let Landry become the second substitute, and then sign a power forward from the free market. I am currently more optimistic about Brandon Bass, who the Hornets are very likely to give up. Among them, the long-range shooting ability is also qualified, and he has a little assist ability. The basic salary I don't ask too much..."

Knowing that Griffin probably won't be able to stay,

First of all, after two seasons of hard work, Griffin has gotten rid of some stink problems. The market in the free market is relatively good. He can go to other teams to get a middle-level salary instead of staying in the Warriors to receive a daily salary, which is financially convenient. a lot of.

Secondly, Griffin obviously doesn't want to be restrained anymore, and he always restrains his behavior, which is really difficult for adults.

"As for the 60th pick, if there is Ramon Sessions, we will choose it to supplement our point guard organization ability. If there is no Ramon Sessions, then we will choose Gary Neal as a combo guard, but First, they need to be placed in the Development League for two years of training..."

After all the details were arranged, Su Yang turned to leave the combat draft office. He didn't intend to wait for the entire draft to end. The main reason was that it was too time-consuming. He rushed to the airport in a special car and returned to San Francisco by private plane directly to prepare for the free market.

The plane landed in the early morning, and I turned on the phone to check the text messages. Mullin reported that Landry and Gani Neal had been selected. Su Yang immediately called the two rookies, and welcomed the two rookies to join the team. He will tell them tomorrow. The four rookies are preparing for the press conference at the same time.

Ordinarily, as Durant's No. [-] pick, a press conference should be held alone, but Su Yang wants Durant to understand that the whole team is equal, and all must follow his own requirements. Don't just think about playing unhappy. Play heads-up and learn to work as a team.

After waking up at 7:11 in the afternoon, I rushed to the FDB training center. Mullin had also arrived, and together with Sean, we discussed how to operate the free market. There was nothing to say about signing contracts. We wanted to train newcomers and not sign big names. We only aimed at the abandoned Barcelona. Si, and Francis, who will be bought out by the Trail Blazers, both goals can only be officially signed after July [-], so there is no rush.

The point is that the small forward position is relatively crowded, PJ Tucker can continue to be placed in the development league, but Prince, Durant and Granger are not easy to arrange, especially Granger's technical characteristics and physical condition, only Can play the small forward position,

Then you can only let Durant play as a substitute or change to a shooting guard. Considering that Durant needs a lot of training, playing as a substitute is definitely not enough, so you need to switch to a shooting guard. Run, run, learn to play without the ball early,

Don't develop the bad habit of always standing alone,

Wait until next season to find a way to switch Durant to the small forward position, or play double small forward with Granger directly.

But no matter how this season is arranged, Raja Bell, Stephen Jackson and Prince are all in an awkward position. All three of them have to give way to newcomers, but none of them are the kind of veterans who are about to retire. Can play for a long time,

In particular, Stephen Jackson and Raja Bell have to pursue the next big contract, forcing them to arrange substitutes out of moral badness.

"I think the best way is to trade. Since we traded Garnett, many teams have asked for Bell and Jackson. Their remaining contracts are two years and one year respectively. It is more suitable for the championship team, but the championship team It is very difficult for the team to give us the draft picks we want, and ordinary teams are not that interested, and they are worried that the two will leave after the end of their contracts, which is very embarrassing at present..."

Sean details,

Su Yang heard that it was not easy to trade, so he weighed it for a while and made a decision, "Then don't trade for the time being, let them reduce their playing time in the name of more rest in the first three months of next season, anyway, Granger has already trained , mainly to practice Durant and Noah, and Durant only needs half a season, and Noah can grow up in a season without rushing, they should be able to accept..."

According to the historical trajectory of the previous life, Durant in his rookie season was the king of irons at the beginning. In the first 40 games, he scored 19.7 points with an average shooting rate of [-]% per game. The main reason was that the lineup configuration was too poor. Tactics don't work either.

But even then, in the next 52 games, Durant also shot up to an average of 44.3% per game, and with fewer shots, he averaged 20.7 points per game, and his average turnovers dropped from 3.1 to 2.8 per game. Purely rely on personal ability to improve.

Su Yang is confident that with his own ability, he can arrange better training methods, more suitable tactics, and a better lineup for Durant, so that Durant can train at a faster speed, so as not to squeeze the veteran Pu Rings et al too much time.

As long as the smooth transition to Durant's leveling is completed, veterans such as Prince can be traded away in the follow-up, or they can stay.

Maybe they can still compete for the championship!

Think about Yao Ming + Webber + Durant + Bell + Steve Blake. Even though the lineup of Yao Ming + Garnett + Prince + Bell + Billups is much weaker than last season's five-element lineup, the substitutes There are still Granger+Jackson+Prince+Big Zhi+Landry or Noah, the overall strength must be worse, but they are nothing more than sweeping at every turn, becoming 4 to 2 or 4 to 3.

Anyway, the strongest enemies in the West are the Spurs, Sonics and Lakers. The Suns and Mavericks have no hope of winning the championship for many years. or fifth,

Let Durant feel the intensity of the playoffs first, and then he will be a big killer after adapting. In short, try to find a way to manipulate the ranking.

"That's it, the momentum is not on our side for the time being, we have to learn to be low-key and patient, reduce the frequency of other teams frantically studying us, and slowly become a championship contender again, maybe we can also replicate the miracle of winning the championship in the second half .”

Su Yang's voice fell,

Sean and Mullin suddenly showed excitement, and they looked at each other, Qiqi said: "I knew you would not give up the championship easily, you said you would fight for eight consecutive championships, we have never doubted your belief , this time we will try our best to keep a low profile!"

Su Yang raised his hand to signal, the three of them clapped their hands and shouted, and chatted about the details of making phone appointments with Brandon Bass and Francis. The main purpose was to sign Francis as soon as possible, and through training and psychological intervention, try to make Francis regain his adaptability to the game.

After the discussion was over, Su Yang ran to the court to practice shooting.

Suddenly received a call from China, Bingbing informed that the construction of several film and television cities has been completed and entered the decoration stage. It is expected to be put into operation during the Spring Festival, and a batch of Hollywood blockbusters can be negotiated in advance. In the preparation of the plan, the purchase of copyrights for the adaptation of novels by Liu Cixin, Tianxia Bachang and others is also quietly proceeding. It is carried out in full accordance with the previously determined ideas. First, buy the script for a small amount of money, so as not to put pressure on other friends and merchants. While saving money, it also avoids cause conflicts,

Subsequent movie releases will earn more money and then give more dividends.

"You can make up your own mind, the proprietress Faner has to be raised, and you don't need to report to me in detail about such small things in the future..."

After Su Yang finished talking, he hung up the phone and continued to practice shooting, but the bell rang again after a while. When he connected, it was Griffin calling, saying that he would leave the Warriors and go to the Timberwolves to get a long-term contract. He immediately congratulated him, Also remind you not to waste your life with alcoholism.

Griffin said yes again and again, but obviously didn't listen.

Su Yang could only hang up the phone helplessly, thinking that Griffin's fate had been changed by his kindness, and he could not control the subsequent development. Supervise in your own neighborhood.

On NO.30 of the next day, the Warriors held a media meeting for the four rookies Durant, Noah, Landry and Neil at the FDB Center. Su Yang deliberately did not attend, but privately arranged the training and diet plan for Durant Go up and try to train as soon as possible.

For Durant's current problems, Chip is responsible for shooting stability. After all, he is the shooting coach who can train Leonard, and Trier Brandon is responsible for breaking double-teams. Although Garnett and Billups have left, Trier has chosen to stay,

Considering that Trier can bring Billups out, it shouldn't be a problem for Durant to improve some breaking double teams.

As for physical fitness and confrontation, normal training is enough. It is nothing more than a little bit of muscle growth with diet, and then some mental building, so as to avoid blowing up when encountering players with a mentality like Artest. Just win the championship.

After the press conference, all work related to the Warriors draft has come to an end, and the summer league has entered the formal preparation stage.

Su Yang arranged for Joerg to continue leading the team, instead of worrying about the team's affairs, and focused on the development of Android and Twitter.

In the twinkling of an eye, on July 11, the Trail Blazers officially waived Francis, and the Warriors signed with the planned basic salary. At the same time, they signed Brandon Bass, completing the formation of a new lineup, and the season tickets for the new season were also sold simultaneously. Lupus two stars leave,

Still sold out in less than 10 minutes,

And Su Yang also tweeted the news, announcing that the Warriors had entered a new era and would return to their peak within a year at the latest.
