I'm a big shot in basketball

Maybe it was honest enough and crazy enough, Cuban believed what Su Yang said, and the deal was reached.

Specifically, the Warriors sent Mark Jackson, who could serve as a power forward and center, in exchange for the Mavericks' own first-round pick in 2002. Considering the Mavericks' current record, the pick will probably be in the bottom five. Also passable.

Anyway, insiders Jackson, Dampier, Fortson, Adonal, Murphy, a total of six people, send away one to clear the salary space, and also reduce the chaos of the rotation competition, don't make it like the 76ers, Noel, um Beede and Okafor three-man contest.

Sean and Mullin continued to follow up on the details.

Su Yang called his assistant again and asked to arrange a special car to pick up Thibodeau and Clifford at the airport the day after tomorrow. He gave enough respect. Although he only planned to cooperate with the two for one and a half seasons, this was the first time he had received from the outside world. Recruit talent.

Compared with bringing the two assistant coaches Wells and Hunter from the Rockets to the Warriors, Thibodeau and Clifford joining the assistant coach team is tantamount to announcing to the public that their coaching, leadership and charisma have been fully recognized, and it is necessary to release the entire will publicize.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, the deal was fully negotiated.

Su Yang found Jackson and officially notified the details of the deal. He wished Jackson a good performance in the Mavericks, mainly to avoid injuries and stop gaining weight. If everything goes well, he can reach the level of 12 points and 8 rebounds per game in the season. Wait until the fifth year It's perfectly fine to jump out of the contract and renew a pension contract, even if it doesn't get enough attention, you have to be patient.

No way, Old Neal had a crazy idea, and occasionally let Nowitzki play the center forward and attack with all his strength.

"Thank you, coach. You helped me solve the problem that I couldn't solve in the past half a year..." Jackson suddenly regretted it after thanking him, knowing that he would be able to experience playing as a core center forward under Su Yang's coaching cool feeling.

On NO.18 of the second day, the Warriors challenged the Kings.

Arriving at Arco Arena for training in the afternoon, Su Yang called the whole team together, saying that because of the Hughes-Jackson deal, the team's lineup has changed a lot, and it needs to enter the stage of training with games and start more dynamic offenses, mainly by the starters. Jamison, Richardson and Arenas dominated, read and reacted more, ran more at the same time, screened off the ball more and caught and shot more.

Everyone agreed, sending away two starters one after another, indeed the lineup has changed a lot, and the goal of the season is to practice more.

The game starts at six o'clock, and the garbage time is over in three quarters.

With two less main players, new tactics, and a strong King, it is normal to fall behind by 27 points in three quarters.

After the game, the Warriors lost 97 to 121.

Attending the press conference after the game, and talking about whether Jackson's absence was due to a trade, Su Yang said that everything should wait for the official announcement.

He also talked about the MVP battle between Kidd and Duncan, saying that he did not pay attention to it, and only wanted to award the best rookie to Richardson and Arenas. The so-called most competitive Pau Gasol had a miserable fight in the previous match If you lose, you are no longer eligible to compete.

I don't really think so, anyway, if I have the opportunity to praise my own players, I can use whatever tricks I have.

The key is to face the Grizzlies back-to-back and create a wave in advance to attract more attention from commentators and reporters.

For both Richardson and Arenas, it is also a season goal to avoid confusion due to too many losses.

The team flew back to San Francisco overnight.

Su Yang got up at eight o'clock, rushed to the airport with his assistant and team staff, received Thibodeau and Clifford at nine o'clock, and took him directly to the house he had prepared in advance, emphasizing that he could change if he was not satisfied. All standards are given the highest.

Thibodeau and Clifford were very satisfied, rested until two o'clock in the afternoon, and took them to the press conference.

When talking about Thibodeau's evaluation, Su Yang said with a smile: "Actually, I was able to successfully apply for the Rockets as an analyst assistant. There was a big reason for that. I discovered Thibodeau's passion through watching Knicks games. On-the-spot command, and then thought of ICE defensive strategy, was appreciated by coach Rudy Tomjanovich and Mr. Carol Dawson.

If I become a champion coach in the future, at least one of my achievements must be attributed to Thibodeau's cry..."

Between the words, the reporters in the audience laughed frequently.

Thibodeau has quite a face.

Immediately following the announcement of Thibodeau's decision to serve as the chief assistant, he also joked that he hoped Van Gundy would not be too jealous.

After the press conference was over, Su Yang asked the staff to accompany Thibodeau and the two to purchase various items, but Thibodeau hoped to start work soon, because he had already prepared all the basic daily necessities, and his purpose was to strive to start as soon as possible when he came to Oakland. .

Su Yang was also polite and nodded in agreement.

But instead of asking Thibodeau to study how to play the Grizzlies, he told the vision for the next season, "My goal is to recruit Billups, and at the same time choose a tough type of defensive striker with a long wingspan and very flexible. The template is... "

"Michael Cooper?"

Thibodeau, who has watched a lot of videos, immediately gave Prince's draft template through a relatively vague description.

"Yes, the specific target is Tayshaun Prince of the University of Kentucky. At the same time, I plan to choose someone with a height of about 226. The lower body is very strong and the mobility is particularly good among the same height, but the upper body strength is slightly weaker and the wingspan is slightly shorter..."

"Yao Ming, right?"

Thibodeau laughed and said, "Since you initiated the recruitment, I have been studying the sports reports related to you. Many people say that you have successfully gained power here, and you will definitely find a way to bring Yao Ming here. I have already seen the video of Yao Ming's Olympic games. "

Su Yang clapped his hands when he heard that, "That's great! I'm going to get a guy who can shoot three-pointers and switch defenses quickly at the other four. It's harder to find such a talent, but you can use Garnett as a reference first, Perform defensive simulations…”

Yao's speed before he gained weight was very fast among big men, and he can defend pick-and-rolls well.

But considering the problem of physical strength allocation, it is best to equip Dayao with a power forward like Garnett, but it is very difficult to do. If he can be selected successfully, he may have to give up his dream and face reality in the end. Rough and hard, tiring to do dirty work, reduce consumption.

"As for the shooting guard reserved for Richardson, these five are the ideal starters for next season. The main job of you and Clifford is to build a defensive system based on these five, and at the same time prepare a set of power forward positions. Or Murphy's defensive system, there are too few types of Garnett, even if the free market is difficult for us to get, we will probably face reality."

"No problem, what about Jamison?"

Hearing Thibodeau's question, Su Yang realized that he had subconsciously put Jamison in the starting lineup, even the Warriors' roster, and said with a smile: "Maybe we can try to let him lead the bench with Arenas, definitely the strongest level in the league. "

Think about Jamison + Allianz Arenas as a substitute, how cruel it is, fortunately it is rookie Arenas.

"Anyway, you are troublesome!"

Thibodeau smiled and shrugged, then sat down and began to collect various information, with Clifford automatically acting as his deputy.

At [-] p.m., the Warriors face the Grizzlies.

With the harsh words about competing for the best rookie before, Su Yang let Richardson and Arenas play full offensively, while the defensive end sent a very fierce Fortson to target Gasol and bully him. Gasol's slender body and mentality of being more afraid of violent fouls managed to hold Gasol, allowing Gasol to finish half the game with only 8 of 3 shots.

Comparing the two, Arenas had 12 points and 5 assists in the half, and Fortson had 18 points in the half.

After the game, the Warriors beat the Grizzlies by 23 points.

Su Yang felt a little uncomfortable looking at the win + 1. He was worried that there were too many games that needed to be won, which would lead to more than 23 wins in the end, which would cause him to fall out of the bottom two and reduce the probability of winning the No. [-] lottery. Expect Stern to take care.

Anyway, after playing 39 games, the record is 13 wins and 26 losses. There are very few wins available, so I have to be careful.

After the game, he attended the press conference and talked about the final announcement of the All-Star starter. Congratulations to Francis for being elected as the starting guard in the West. At the same time, he said that he would go to Philadelphia to cheer for Richardson and Arenas who participated in the All-Star Rookie Challenge.

At the same time, the official announced the completion of the Warriors and Mavericks deal, and various media hotly discussed that the Warriors changed very quickly.

But sending away a center with an average of 12+8 per game, the two ESPN commentators slammed Su Yang to make room for Yao Ming, and they should continue to find ways to send Dampier away in the future, so that the Warriors management has sufficient reasons and motivation To choose Yao Ming, there is probably an ulterior conspiracy.

It's just that the Chinese are not colluding.

After all, Su Yang is an American.

Su Yang accepted a telephone interview with TNT Barkley, saying that there is no plan to get the draft pick from the Mavericks, and the scouts are doing their best to investigate various college divisions.Chatting and chatting, the idea of ​​ghosts and ghosts came up unexpectedly, maybe it can be matched with Jamison.

如果后续成功从老鹰那里搞到03年的火箭首轮，那就是一个02年18左右的首轮，一个02年25左右的首轮，一个03年大概率14乐透以下的首轮。

Keep the ones around 18 and choose Prince, and the other two can catch Jamison, and maybe they can switch to a powerful power forward.

Anyway, it is very important to let Jamison brush up, to show more value, enhance imagination, and raise the upper limit.

One day off, the Warriors face the Jazz.

In order to make Jamison more outstanding, Su Yang removed Arenas from the starting lineup to concentrate the ball more.

Arenas has no complaints after being coached before.

鏖战全场，勇士99比103憾负爵士，贾米森18投12中空砍31分10篮板。

After playing the Jazz, he rested for three days and prepared for the Timberwolves with all his strength.

主要自从比卢普斯12月18号开始担任首发控球后卫，连续17场比赛，打出场均16.5分6.4助攻1.1抢断的优秀数据，并且三分场均4.9次出手，命中率达到恐怖的42%。

Such excellent performance has attracted the attention of many team scouts, and the media also claimed that Bilu proved his status as a scout.

If you want to successfully recruit Billups with a middle-level contract, you must first convince Billups of your ability.

Before the Rockets took advantage of the rise of Billups, they expressed in advance that they were optimistic about the relationship. The first step is the first step. Now the Warriors beat Billups and the Timberwolves who are in a strong state. Lu leans toward the Warriors.
