I'm a big shot in basketball

0038 Love and Justice, Boss

Taking advantage of the high ratings at noon, ESPN exclusively discussed Su Yang's suspension of Francis in the live broadcast.

The well-known talker A? Smith said angrily: "I got inside information. This is Su Yang's personal revenge. He hated Francis for not having the barbecue according to his wishes. He felt that Francis did not treat him enough at that time." Respect, actually wearing different styles of slippers to meet him, he doesn't understand that is black hip-hop culture at all.

Relying on his misunderstanding, he produced a wrong image, and because he had no experience to directly serve as the interim head coach, he was eager to establish authority in the Rockets, so after Kevin Cato questioned him, he directly canceled Cato's starting center, and also mistakenly believed that Francis' absence because of hip muscle tension was an open challenge to him, so he made the decision to suspend Francis for three games.

The reason why he is so crazy is that I think there is the support of the Rockets management. We all know that after this season, Francis can renew his contract in advance. Francis averaged 19.9 points, 6.9 rebounds and 6.5 assists last season.

It is absolutely possible to get a contract of hundreds of millions of dollars, and the Rockets owner Alexander is very stingy. Even the veteran Olajuwon has to choose to send away, so the Rockets definitely don't want to give Francis a big contract, and then support Su Yang to suppress Francis.

I heard that Su Yang's actions are very vicious.

In order to force Francis to obey his oppression, he actually chose an egalitarian style of play, making those players believe that everyone can average 20+ points per game, and then form a struggle between other Rockets players and Francis, which is too vicious.

I call on the players union and the league to intervene in this matter, launch a review on the Rockets, and urge the Rockets to fire Su Yang!

We want to report to protect the freedom of black hip-hop culture of Francis, and we want to protect players from capital oppression! "

Between the words, A? Smith cried with a growling voice, as if he almost burst into tears, as if he had revenge on Su Yang for killing his father.

It was extremely contagious, and it also vaguely implied that Su Yang discriminated against black hip-hop culture, and was going to kill Su Yangshe.

Molly and Skype Bayless, the hosts sitting next to him, were dumbfounded. How could this happen?

With the easing of live broadcasts across the United States, more people paid attention to Su Yang's decision to suspend Francis for three games. The number of discussions on basketball forums such as RG increased sharply, and various radio programs also joined the discussion. The rhythm of foreign discrimination against blacks made the "New York Times" and other non-sports media also look for angles to cut in, and it became a hot spot in the United States for a while.

Su Yang had lunch, took a nap for half an hour, and continued to lead the team to train on his own, initially simulating the tactical coordination of Thomas and Griffin as the inside starters, with Walter Williams on the wing, Mobley and Arroyo in the backcourt , the lineup is average.

The biggest loopholes are Arroyo and Walter. The former is deficient in defense and three-pointers, while the latter is weak in lateral movement due to serious injuries. The three-point shooting rate is high enough.

After several rounds of tactical moves, the problem gradually became apparent.

Arroyo and Griffin have worked together in the Summer League and they have a tacit understanding. They know how to run tactics and how to change when encountering different defenses. But Mobley, Thomas and Walter are not used to a lot of off the ball. Running position, you can run for a while at the beginning of each tactic, once you encounter an unexpected defense, you will immediately be confused and don't know how to deal with it, and it is easy to stay on the spot.

It's useless to be anxious. Awareness training is not a day or two. The summer league team is so willing to learn, and it takes a full week.

At 05:30 in the afternoon, the training is over.

Public relations director McFarlane and general manager Dawson found Su Yang together, explained the development of the situation caused by the suspension of Francis, and discussed how to make a more appropriate response.Su Yang thought about it for a while, and suggested to start with Mobley, and put aside the doubts from the outside world first.

"Mobley is a good brother of Francis, and after spending two days with me, Mobley should understand who I am. I will invite him to dinner later, explain my views on Francis, and ask him to talk to Francis. Just get in touch.

You also remind Francis from the other side that changing his style of play will not only allow him to get a big contract, but also allow Mobley to get a big contract. With Francis' friendship with his good brother, even if he doesn't understand, he may be willing to change style of play. "

Su Yang knew that the biggest problem with Francis was that he didn't have a strong pursuit of honor. He was more religious, and he was satisfied with a big contract worth tens of millions of dollars, unlike players like Jordan, Kobe, and LeBron who pursued it in various ways. Honors such as the championship and FMVP made Francis unwilling to improve his style of play for victory and step out of his comfort zone.

In the previous life, after Francis transferred to the Magic, he still went his own way without making any changes, but after the Magic traded away his good brother Mobley, he became decadent, and then he was not traded to the Knicks, and was sent to the Trail Blazers. buyout.

To change Francis' attitude, it is necessary to start with Mobley, implying that if Francis changes his style of play, Mobley will get a bigger contract because of better statistics, but if he continues to miss the playoffs, he can only take two People are separated.

"I think it works."

"Try it."

Public relations director McFarlane and general manager Dawson also agreed, hastily preparing how to communicate better.

McFarlando asked why he didn't point out the importance of Mobley in advance, Su Yang said with a smile: "Before this day's training, Mobley didn't trust me so much, some things have to be done slowly and gradually. Build cognitive change."

There is still a word in my heart, that is, there are some things that cannot be resolved without holding a conference, and I always want to muddle through.

Instead, he left the office and rushed to the locker room. When the players invited him to have dinner together, Mobley nodded.

Su Yang drove the newly bought Mercedes-Benz to the Mobley Gatlin Grill Restaurant. After ordering, he sat down and went straight to the point.

"I don't have any personal grievances against Steve. What happened during the interview, what happened in the three-day joint trial training, and the announcement of the suspension, I have dealt with it fairly. I'm just a pity that he has such a strong talent. Obviously I can become a Hall of Fame player, but I have been wasting it. I still have the same point of view as before. I can actually follow him and please him.

With his current strength and the Rockets' lineup, I can achieve some results without making any changes during the three months as the interim head coach, and then use those results to secure the position of successor, but I don't want to do that, I don't want to I don't want to waste my time, and I don't want to deceive him. I want to do my best to benefit more people. If he thinks that I don't respect him enough, then I can only say that I follow him and please him. It is the greatest contempt, and it will treat him as a fool.

If he's worried about what those idiots at ESPN said, then you can tell him that reducing possession time does not mean reducing the number of shots, and reducing the number of shots does not mean that the data will drop, which will eventually lead to not being able to get a big contract.

Because the number of shots is reduced, it is also possible to maintain high scores through higher efficiency, and at the same time increase data such as assists and rebounds, and use more energy on the defensive end to improve data such as steals, just like Jordan won the championship after changing to the triangle offense.

Moreover, the suspension can also be revoked.

I won't say more about the other things. What is my level? After these two days of training, you should have come to a conclusion. "

When it comes to this matter, don't say that you are unpredictable.

It's impolite to make trouble anymore!

Mobley nodded, "I will pass on your words to Steve and persuade him to make some changes."

"Drink, drink!"

Su Yang raised his glass to indicate that he knew that the matter was [-]% to [-]% resolved, and the next step was to use victory to boost the team's confidence.

At eight o'clock the next morning, Su Yang rushed to the training base.

Dawson quickly called and said that he had informed Francis that changing his style of play could help Mobley get a bigger contract. Although Francis did not let go in name, he repeatedly confirmed the feasibility and should have made a decision.

With a good mood, Su Yang continued shooting training as usual.

In a blink of an eye, all the Rockets players arrived.

Mobley found Su Yang and said that Francis had agreed to adjust his style of play, but his hip muscles were still tense and he needed to recover for a few days before returning to the team.Between the words, there was a smile on the corner of Mobley's mouth, implying that it was just Francis trying to save face.

Su Yang knew it well and didn't force it.

After all, it's a bit embarrassing for Francis to come back to training directly if he's doing a full set of acting.

The training in the morning went on as usual, but Lisa, the personnel manager, sent internal email notifications in succession: the team decided to deduct assistant coach Larry Smith's quarterly bonus as a punishment for inadvertently leaking the team's internal information. In addition, welcome a new colleague? assistant video analyst Larry? JR? Smith, originally prepared to recruit in June, because of some delays until now.

At noon, the Rockets held a press conference.

Francis attended with General Manager Dawson.

Facing the reporter's question, Francis said angrily: "A? Smith of ESPN is a bullshit clown. I don't have any conflicts with Su Yang. What nonsense is it that Su Yang doesn't like the slippers I wear. We had a very happy chat at that barbecue dinner... "

Dawson went on to say the three-game suspension was purely a rumour.

The internal affairs were completely resolved. Su Yang continued to lead the team for training. Francis also began to attend, but he did not participate yet.

After eight days of training, on October [-]th, the Rockets went to Memphis to prepare for the preseason opener against the Grizzlies.
