Chapter 165 The Times Are Calling
Leaving AJ headquarters, Su Yang flew directly to Dallas.
After a journey of more than three hours, after he landed, he took the special car he had already arranged and rushed to the Chinese district to participate in the Lunar New Year celebrations.The local Chinese received him warmly, and several aunts asked him to introduce him to partners, all of whom were female doctors.
After finishing the activities, Su Yang returned to the officially designated NBA hotel.Harden dragged him to play the "Halo" game. For two hours, he failed to win a game. Westbrook watched happily from the side, and said that there was finally a place to beat him.
He thought he would be free after playing the game, but LeBron dragged him to play the BOORAY card game.
The game specification is a bit like a simplified version of the upgrade. Pierce acted as the explainer, and Su Yang fully learned it in less than a minute. In the end, he won more than 1 US dollars, which made Ray Allen and Garnett who participated in the game quite confused. Compare.
At one o'clock in the morning, Harden knocked on the door of Su Yang's room again, saying that he had heard about an interesting nightclub, but he was a bit afraid to go alone, and hoped that Su Yang would be brave with him, and all the consumption would be treated by him at that time .
Su Yang resolutely refused, and fell asleep happily, dreaming of winning the slam dunk contest championship.
But he did not participate in the slam dunk contest. Throughout the All-Star Tour, he only participated in the Rookie Challenge and the main game. Gordon did participate in the three-point contest.
...
Early the next morning, the NBA officially held a fan carnival, and Su Yang and Gordon attended together.
The two temporarily played the role of shopping guides in the mall, sold many Clippers peripheral products, accepted questions from fans after they were done, and then played entertainment games with fans, showing off dunks and three-pointers, and did not leave until noon.
After lunch, the two entered the Airline Stadium to participate in the shooting of rookie makeup and group photos.
According to the usual practice, the rookie challenge will be a first-year team against a second-year team. Ross, Beasley and others are also filming. Gordon joins them as a second-year player, and said with a smile that he will beat Su Yang and other first-year players as opponents. players.
Jennings immediately fought back, announcing that he would lead the first grade to defeat the second grade as he did in 00.
The two sides started all kinds of ridicule. After the photos were taken, Su Yangdi was interviewed by NBATV reporter.
Talking about the fact that the first-year players have as many as six guards, he said that the era of guards has arrived, and this rookie challenge will be an important symbol in the future, and the importance of three-pointers will be greatly increased.
When it comes to how to distribute the ball and playing time, he said that it is something that the young coach Stevens considers, but the six guards in the first-year team are all master organizers, and Harden can also defend the center, so it should not be too much trouble.
The reporter was quite surprised by the statement that Harden could defend against the center forward, and asked if he was joking.
He emphasized that absolutely not, everyone will definitely see it by then, just be careful not to change the channel.
The content of the interview was soon broadcast on the TV station. A host said that this was the only rookie challenge match that had the smell of gunpowder before the match. Although there were some joking elements, the two teams obviously wanted to beat each other violently.
Another host said it was normal, that is, rookies like to fight with real swords and guns, and they just fight casually in the main game.
At [-] o'clock in the evening, Su Yang attended the official business gathering. As one of the representatives of the alliance, he communicated with major TV live broadcast manufacturers and sponsoring companies, and publicized that the ratings and advertising conversion rates will increase significantly in the next few years.
The president of ABC TV raised doubts on the spot, and Su Yang explained that it was inevitable, because the era of mobile networks is coming, and 4G networks and smart phones will make it easier for more people to understand and like basketball games.
This explanation was not convinced by the president of ABC TV station and a certain advertising company. On the contrary, Mavericks boss Mark Cuban, who was watching, praised him greatly, and kept pulling Su Yang to talk in detail about the changes that will occur in the mobile era.
After talking about the changes, Cuban invited Su Yang to invest together, hoping to exchange information in the future.
Su Yang agreed on the spot, and followed Cuban around to make him familiar, but the whole party was full of false compliments and the truth of dividing status by wealth. He didn't like it very much, and left in a hurry after delivering a speech.
He went back to his room to watch the Spring Festival Gala together with Lu Rulan, but it was a pity that Uncle Benshan's sketches were not funny enough.
...
NO.14 was early in the morning, it was the Lunar New Year, Su Yang took the red envelopes he had prepared in advance, and sent them out whenever he saw anyone.
From seven o'clock to nine o'clock, everyone said Gong Xi Fa Cai, and nine o'clock became a party scene.
Reporters from CCTV5 and Sina came to conduct an exclusive interview. After Su Yang finished his routine answers, he called everyone for a dinner.
In the afternoon, the fan carnival continued. Su Yang and Gordon attended again, but left after playing for only half an hour. Instead, they boarded the bus officially prepared by the NBA and drove to a minority community to help clean up the streets.
This kind of caring activity lasted for an hour, and the two rushed back to the arena for training.
As the head coach of the first-year team, Marshal Stevens did not plan specific tactics. He only said that he must win the second-year team. He suggested focusing on the DDM system, strengthening the advantage of the three-point shot, and choking the opponent to break through by filling the middle.
Su Yang and the others discussed while practicing, and quickly reached a consensus that three of the six guards will play each time, and the other two positions will be determined by the forward and center depending on the situation, so as to ensure that everyone can get enough playing time.
After the discussion, several people discussed how to distribute the ball.
I thought they were all arrogant and arrogant, and they would definitely compete, but forwards Gibson and Casspi offered to play off the ball, and center Bligh said they could only shoot the rebounds they grabbed. The scene was quite harmonious .
Su Yang bluntly said that it only takes 6 minutes to control the ball, and he has unlimited firing rights within those 6 minutes. As for the specific quarter of the game, it will depend on the situation at that time. If it is more anxious, it will be used in the fourth quarter.
Jennings and others agreed unanimously, and said with a smile that Su Yang was the boss, and everything was arranged by Su Yang.
Everything was decided, and the first-year team began to train seriously. The DDM tactical system was not complicated. The few people quickly formed a certain tacit understanding, and established a few basic rules at the same time, which can be regarded as a regular team.
Since the rookie game was held right after the Masters, the team went straight to the arena to watch the show.
There are NFL players, team owners, well-known movie stars, and retired players in this celebrity game. Most of them played in Kobe's signature sneakers. LeBron was a little embarrassed to watch, and Kobe was all smiles.
Cuban even wore a pair of Adidas to play and became the target of ridicule. Howard pretended to be angry and took off his sneakers and waved them in the air to show support. When the game was halftime, the central big screen played an advertisement for Su Yang's signature shoes.
Boos and cheers sounded at the scene at the same time. The host walked up to Su Yang with a microphone and asked, "I saw from the promotional video that you assign different representative words to different colors of sneakers and explain it with Sun Tzu's Art of War. Is it too far-fetched?" ?”
Su Yang chuckled, thinking that this kind of thing is an added value, so there is no logic in playing with concepts.
But after thinking about it, he said: "It's a kind of fashion, just like those famous brand lipsticks, different colors have different meanings..."
"Then what color are you going to wear for the first quarter?"
"I want to wear blue, so you can feel the speed of the wind..."
