Chapter 87
NO.18 In the morning, Su Yang rushed to the key arena.
According to the plan, he first walked around the arena with Presti, took a look at the history and culture of the Supersonic team, then signed the contract in front of the camera, officially became the head coach, and then had a face-to-face meeting with various departments .
After going through the process, he closed the door with Presti for a detailed discussion, mainly related to the preparation of the teaching assistant team.
The former head coach PJ Carlesimo had four assistants, namely Paul Westwood, Scott Brooks, Mark Bryant, and Ralph Lewis, which belonged to the configuration of one old man plus three middle-aged men.
Su Yang suggested dismissing the old man Westwood, mainly because he is nearly 70 years old and it is difficult to keep up with the rhythm.
As for the other three teaching assistants, they can stay as they please, and they don't need them to make much contribution.
Such a request would greatly reduce the workload, and Presti readily accepted it and asked who should be replaced.
Su Yang bluntly said that he wanted to squeeze the Spurs' wool, and he took a fancy to the Spurs' team Austin coach Quinn Snyder. He hoped that Presti would get the interview application as soon as possible. If necessary, he would fly to San Antonio to invite him.
He intends to let Snyder serve as the chief assistant coach, responsible for singing black faces, grasping training and discipline to establish a new style.
And he himself is responsible for singing red faces, telling jokes to make the players happy, spreading chicken soup, and formulating tactics by the way.
It's not that he wants to take advantage, it's just that he is younger than some players and is more suitable to play the role of a good brother.
For his request, Presti agreed without hesitation, showing that he trusted the coach produced by the Spurs very much.
In addition to Quinn Snyder, Su Yang also proposed to invite Phil Handy as the team's chief trainer and allow Phil Handy to form a training team freely, but that would require dismissing the existing training team and paying a large salary.
Presti said that he needs to calculate carefully, because every penny in the small ball market is very tight, and it will be troublesome.
Su Yang expressed his understanding. The first boss of the Supersonics and the Thunder, Clayton Bennett, was too stingy. Presti was restricted in many operations, but he was going to find an opportunity to talk to Clayton to settle the money. The problem.
After deciding on matters related to teaching assistants, Su Yang held a press conference with Presti as planned.
New Supersonics owner Clayton Bennett attended the event, and Durant and Green also attended the audience.
Perhaps it was because he was particularly interested in a young head coach like Su Yang. In addition, Su Yang had made a lot of shocking remarks in the past. There were as many as [-] media who came to the press conference. Full conference hall.
Su Yang walked to the stage and sat down, looked down at the microphones that were already full, and wanted to sing a pompous song in a trance.
All kinds of camera sounds rattled, and it took more than ten seconds before Presti raised his hand to signal and began to introduce.
"I am very happy to announce here today that Su Yang has officially become the team's head coach. In the past season, he helped the Blazers from the bottom record to the Western Conference Finals, and he fully meets our requirements for the new head coach. Has outstanding achievements in tactical system construction, helping the Blazers achieve the league's first scoring average..."
After Presti finished speaking, Su Yang took over: "It is a great honor to have such an opportunity to join the Supersonic family. This is a team full of potential. I will do my best to help young players give full play to their talents and help The veteran fully achieved his goals, led this team well, and returned to the NBA Finals stage to regain his former glory."
Su Yang first gave support to the veteran players: as long as you listen to my command, I will let you earn a big contract by swiping data.
After the voice fell, the ESPN reporter followed the guidance of the staff and first asked questions to the boss Carleton.
The question was very procedural, asking Clayton what he thought of Su Yang, and the official standard answer was to exaggerate.
"I like him so much!"
Clayton smiled all over his face, and his eyes seemed to be raging money, "He is a young man with great talent and execution ability. His previous achievements need not be repeated, and he can also bring us a huge Chinese market.
Just yesterday, after the team officially announced that he will be the head coach, we received a large number of corporate invitations..."
Clayton was talking and laughing, his face was almost bursting with laughter, Su Yang saw it and knew that he didn't have to worry about money anymore.
"Overall, I believe he will make the team very successful and I hope tomorrow is the new season!"
Clayton looked at Su Yang with a smile, as if saying: I am waiting to become the second Rocket Alexander.
Su Yang responded with a smile, and the TNT reporter immediately asked him: "Can I make it to the playoffs next year?"
"To be honest, the playoffs are not my goal, nor is it the team's goal, and it is not very useful to the players..."
Su Yang shrugged slightly, "My personal goal is to train Kevin Durant to be the scoring champion and make him an All-Star, and by the way, train the players we selected this year to be the best rookies, which is much more important than entering the playoffs. "
"Wow..." The conference hall suddenly erupted in exclamation, and the reporters showed excitement, big news.
Let Durant become the scoring leader and All-Star, but also make the rookie the best rookie, have both fish and bear's paw.
That is much harder than entering the playoffs. After all, the playoffs only need to win and rely more on the team.
Discussions were flying around in the conference hall, and Durant, who was watching, was full of excitement, and wanted to shout loudly several times.
"Of course, I still want everyone to see the true strength of Jeff Green. He is an all-around player. I want to help him become a Scottie Pippen with better scoring ability. I don't think you two will refuse, right? "
After Su Yang finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Durant and Jeff Green in the audience, who nodded repeatedly.
The camera quickly recorded such a scene, cheers filled the conference hall, and the atmosphere exploded.
After everyone calmed down, the reporter asked Su Yang what tactical system he would play in the new season.
"I will let the team gradually adapt to the dynamic offensive system, using several common starting styles, but how to play, most of the time is determined by the players themselves according to the defensive situation. I will focus on training and critical moments."
"Are you learning the lesson of Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle?" The reporter asked with a smile.
Su Yang chuckled, knowing that the reporter was talking about the conflict between Rick Carlisle and Kidd some time ago. At that time, Kidd complained that Carlisle called tactics too often during training, even calling for fast breaks, and his desire to control was too strong. .
"No, what the team is suitable for, such as the European pick-and-roll offense, is very suitable for Durant..."
After Su Yang explained, Durant's eyes lit up when he heard the audience watching, and he wanted to start training immediately.
The reporters asked questions one after another, and Su Yang answered them one by one. The press conference came to an end in a happy atmosphere.
After stepping down, he took Durant and Green and followed the staff to take promotional photos.
After the filming, the three of them ran to the court, shooting and playing around while chatting about the new tactical system.
At noon, the three of them ate something casually in the restaurant to replenish their energy, and their relationship fast forwarded to the point where they were inseparable.
Presti joined midway, saying that he had already contacted Quinn Snyder to fly to Seattle for an interview, and the task of inviting Phil Handy to be the team trainer was also easily completed. If all goes well, the two can catch up with the summer league.
"Then prepare to go to the draft meeting to welcome Awei..."

Thanks to time, Leng Xiaoqi and other veterans for their rewards.
I will work harder.
