Chapter 119 Destined
In the last twelve games of the season, the Thunder played two games against the Spurs, two games against the Blazers, and also played against the Nuggets, Lakers and Celtics.
On April NO.15, after a 126-85 away game against the Clippers, the Thunder’s overall season record was fixed at 28 wins and 54 losses, ranking sixth from the bottom in the league, only losing one game more than the Warriors, and theoretically the most likely to rank No. 6 overall.
Relatively speaking, the probability of drawing the third overall pick is 0.094, and the probability of drawing the No. 0.075 lottery is [-].
Such a situation made it more passive to choose Harden.
Su Yang is also very helpless. Several teams in the West are too capable of losing. The Kings have 17 wins, the Clippers have 19 wins, and the Timberwolves and Grizzlies also have 24 wins. In addition, the Wizards in the East have 19 wins, and the Thunder have injured several generals. Can't beat them.
Fortunately, because of Harden's crazy performance in three or two key games, his draft forecast is basically fifth or sixth.
The whole team flew back to Oklahoma, and after two days of rest, a season summary conference was held at the training base.
There were twenty or so media present and hundreds of Thunder season ticket holders. After Presti finished his opening remarks, Su Yang spoke on behalf of the coaching staff. First, he apologized for Durant's failure to win the scoring title. The rotation is rather chaotic.
The fans at the scene shouted that there is no need to apologize. After all, Durant's injury was an accident, which interrupted the strongest momentum at that time.
The key is that Durant averaged 28.4 points per game this season, which is quite explosive considering he is only in the second grade.
Su Yang then listed Green's statistical progress, saying that Green is becoming an excellent zero-position player. The so-called zero-position player has no position restrictions, can score, organize, support, defend, and can be deployed with various functions at will.
Su Yang also cited Westbrook's season average data, saying that Westbrook is very hopeful to win the Rookie of the Year.
But the most gratifying thing about Westbrook is the improvement in shooting stability and the substantial improvement in organizational skills. He was good at single defense in college, as well as anti-ball defense prediction. After a season of training, he has become more superb.
Jordan is also improving, and his free throw percentage is indeed a bit eye-catching, just like that in the fattening stage.
After introducing several young people, Su Yang mentioned Sefoloza and Chandler who joined in the middle of the season, saying that the two will support the Thunder's defensive system, and they will also provide fire support to balance the team's offense and defense. Impeccable.
Finally, Su Yang thanked all the players who contributed to the Thunder in the 08-09 season.
After the season summary conference, Su Yang called Durant and several other young people to gather at the training base, and together with the training team headed by Phil Handy, set out in detail the goals that each young person needs to improve during the off-season.
Counting from May, there will be at least five months until the training camp for the new season. It is by no means difficult for the players to improve a skill. The key is to persist in training. Su Yang restarted the reminder of training every few days plan.
After assigning tasks, Su Yang gave himself a one-month vacation and went to Silicon Valley to check the progress of MT application development.
Because only the IOS system is developed, the workload is relatively small, and the initial version has been put into testing.
Legal work is also being followed up. Jiang Ruolan has found a few classmates to prepare for patents and trademarks in advance, but it costs money to hire someone. Su Yang's salary can only maintain basic operations, and Jiang Ruolan The investment is not enough.
Apple's stock cannot be sold for the time being, and we can only find ways to get money from other places, but the pre-financing will get the shares.
The core problem is still not being able to make profits for a long time. The two held a meeting to discuss. Su Yang decided to transfer the network promotion work to China, greatly reducing labor costs, and subcontracting testing and customer service to China. It is too easy to hire English-qualified students.
In addition to saving costs, the two also decided to start the annual subscription model after the official version has been downloaded a certain number of times.
However, if you want to quickly reach the target number of downloads, you must expose a large number of people in a short period of time, and there must be a concentration effect.
It would be too expensive to ask a celebrity to endorse, or to buy a Super Bowl commercial, so Su Yang decided to speak for himself.
Anyway, as the head coach of the team, he will face the camera on many occasions. It is no problem to wear a cultural shirt with the MT logo. At that time, it will be promoted in the team first, and then spread through the players and staff. The effect is absolutely leveraged.
For more than half a month, Su Yang and Ruo Lan discussed many times, eating together and working overtime, talking about music and movies, talking about recent entrepreneurial trends, talking about delicious dishes in China, and going to Chinatown restaurants to find or order.
During that period, Su Yang still insisted on calling several young people every three days to urge them to continue training.
In mid-May, MT was launched on the Apple App Store for the first time, and the download volume was relatively average.
The main reason is that the Apple mobile phone is still in the 3.0 era and has not yet become the mainstream, so the basic market is relatively small.
NO.20, Su Yang flew directly to New York, went to the home court of the New Jersey Nets, and represented the Thunder to attend the lottery.
Considering that ESPN will live broadcast the entire draft, he deliberately wears the MT logo on his right shoulder, and then asks for a phone number when he sees anyone, and then introduces that he can download MT to chat and communicate easily, and pushes people on the spot, which is not at all like a head coach.
After some introductions, the elderly general managers and head coaches represented by Bird were not interested, but Love and other player representatives were willing to try, but because there is only an IOS version for the time being, several young people lost interest.
After all, it is a bit troublesome to change the phone specially for a chat application.
Su Yang wrote down the user's needs, and the lottery began to announce the results, and Stern came to the stage with a smile.
The live camera first focused on the Suns representative Gentry. According to the rules, if there is no accident, they will be the 14th pick.
Sure enough, Stern announced that the 14th pick was the Suns, and the Suns did not miraculously enter the top three with a probability of 0.007.
Followed by the Pacers, Bobcats, Nets, Bucks, Raptors, Knicks, and Warriors are also ranked the same as the bottom of the record.
Seeing that the first 8 teams did not disturb the predicted order, and it would be Thunder's turn soon, Su Yang thought that there would be no miracles.
That thought, Stern read with a smile: "The sixth pick in the draft is won by the Minnesota Timberwolves."
The live broadcast camera was immediately shown to Timberwolves representing Love, and Love shrugged slightly. The sixth pick is a bit poor for the Timberwolves, but it is also reasonable. After all, with their poor record, the probability of being drawn sixth is as high as 0.385.
Su Yang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the fifth pick should be stable, and there is no hope for a higher pick.
Who ever thought, Stern read again with a smile: "The fifth pick in the draft is won by the Washington Wizards."
Wizards general manager Glenn Field shook his head again and again, after playing so many games, he ended up with only the fifth overall pick.
Su Yang couldn't help laughing, wondering if Lei Ting could still get the third pick as he wished, it was full of ups and downs.
Just as he was thinking about it, Stern suddenly read seriously: "The fourth pick goes to the Sacramento Kings."
The king's representative, Chris Webber, put his head in his hands in an instant. The league's last record was actually the fourth overall pick.
Su Yang couldn't help it, he just grinned, the highest probability of Thunder's top three pick is only 0.094, it's really good!
Could it be that the league saw that the Thunder were expected to perform well, or took care of relocating to a new city, operating in secret?
While thinking about it, Stern read again with a smile: "The third pick in the draft went to the Oklahoma City Thunder."
Su Yang smiled, thinking that it was fate.

PS: In the 09 draft, both the Grizzlies and the Thunder had a very low probability of getting the second and third picks, and the Wizards and Kings were very unlucky.
