Chapter 105 Jordan's Challenge

After finishing the interview with the ESPN reporter, Su Yang accepted an additional interview with CCTV5, and then trotted all the way back to the locker room. As soon as he entered the door, he was hit by ice water. Before he could react, he was surrounded by dozens of 1.9-meter-high men.

Little Qiaodan and the others shouted phrases with unclear meanings, and beat Su Yang's chest excitedly with their big fists.

At such a scene, Su Yang smirked for a long time, and excitedly began to perform the New Treasure Island Macho Dance.

Davis was the first to imitate, and then Jordan and others joined in. Only Gordon looked on coldly with a look of contempt.

After the nonsense was over, Su Yang gave a brief thank you speech and proposed to formally launch an impact on the playoffs.

All the teammates said yes one after another, they spread out amidst laughter, changing shoes for those who change shoes, applying ice for ice...

Su Yang noticed that Tucker was sitting on the chair with a face full of embarrassment, and suddenly thought that Tucker hadn't played for a minute in the game, so he immediately stopped the plan to go to the shower, dragged the stool and walked to the side, and seriously asked for advice on how to improve the schedule. Defense.

It's not intentional to find a topic to give encouragement, but Tucker's pre-judgment defense is really good, otherwise he can't gain a foothold in the paint with his 198 height, and he can often be seen grabbing rebounds by getting stuck in advance, or delaying by pre-judging positions attack.

In addition, Tucker's small defense skills are very strong, which will definitely help the team's three-back lineup.

Tucker was a little surprised that Su Yang asked for advice. He said it was just his personal experience. He took a round of defending Artest's air cut in the game as an example. Although there was no screen demonstration, he said it very vividly, as if he was at the scene in person.

The two were chatting, and Marshal Stevens handed over a notebook, and the round mentioned by Tucker happened to be playing on the screen.Tucker said with emotion that it was a coincidence, and the young coach said that the coaching staff also thought that round was worth studying.

Su Yang was curious about where the notebook came from, it was the latest MACBOOK.

The young marshal said that the general manager Xinji purchased in batches. The team will follow the route of mobile data analysis in the future, gradually eliminate the traditional tactical board, and ensure that relevant personnel can conveniently use mobile devices for demonstration and sharing at any time.

After the discussion between the three of them, Su Yang ran to take a shower, and when he came out, the staff arranged to answer the phone.

Not an interview with the media, but a call from boss Sterling to congratulate him on his perfect debut. By the way, he told him that he decided to increase the team's various financial budgets this season, renovate the locker room, replace training equipment, etc. Don't think about saving money...

Sterling's kind of iron cock is willing to take the initiative to pluck his hair. Su Yang thinks it is quite interesting, but he still calmly replied, saying that those things are not in his own hands. He suggested contacting the relevant department, or directly contacting the general manager Xin Ji.

After leaving the arena, Su Yang drove back to the villa, first replied to various congratulations, and then chatted with Lu Rulan.

Schwartz called and said that the three major brands of Nike, Adidas, and Jordan had contacted them actively, hoping to restart the previously suspended sneaker endorsement negotiations. Among them, Adidas had the most sincere attitude and directly promised 8000 million endorsement fees and a share of signature shoes.

Su Yang resolutely refused, and said that he would add more money, not to mention 9000 million, and the incentive terms would be calculated separately.

Schwartz persuaded the three major brands to quit at the same time, and Su Yang said that it doesn't matter. More money and less is not the point, but we must fight for it, otherwise the Summer League and the preseason games were underestimated.

Schwartz said that he will re-discuss with the three major brands as soon as possible, but he must be mentally prepared for protracted negotiations.

After the two chatted, Zheng Xiang walked over to Su Yang with his notebook and sat down. He said that he had sorted out many interesting comments from websites such as Twitter and Hupu. There were celebrities and ordinary users. He had taken screenshots and made them into PPTs for easy viewing and storage.

Su Yang felt a little ashamed about such a mind-blowing idea, but he still curiously checked it out.

[Barkley: Facts have proved that in the three-year Nike Peak Challenge, Kenny, Ernie, I, and I argued about which group of boys could achieve higher achievements in the NBA. In the end, I supported Su Yang to win.You may say that you only played one game, but I tell you clearly that Su Yang is the point guard version of LeBron, and he will continue to maintain this performance. 】

After reading the comments, Su Yang felt hot in his head.

Barkley is a famous tainted milk forecasting expert. He said that the Warriors could not win the championship with jump shots, but the Warriors won the championship in a blink of an eye. He said that the Celtics would reach the finals.

But the strong should not be afraid of poisonous milk, Su Yang clicked the mouse to continue checking, and found Kobe's comment.

[Reporter Mark Stein: When talking about the trouble Su Yang brought to the Lakers, Kobe said that Su Yang is already an All-Star player who can adapt to high-intensity confrontation. Sai strong enemy treatment. 】

He and the team can make the defending champion team leader an opponent. Su Yang feels that the previous sacrifices are all worthwhile, but such praise will also bring more challenges. In the future, no team will treat the Clippers as a weak team. is equal to zero.

After a moment of emotion, continue to look at the screenshot comments.

[Durant: As a pure passerby who is not a fan of the two, I would like to say in fairness that Kevin Durant was more powerful than Su Yang when he was a rookie. In the match between the two next month, Kevin Durant will be Destroy Su Yang. 】

Su Yang never expected that Durant would play trumpet so early and forget to switch.

But this is really not casual talk, Durant is about to take off after two seasons of practice.

Su Yang casually logged into Twitter and wanted to reply to Durant to do something, but found that the original text had been deleted, so he imitated Durant's latest tweet and forwarded it: "As a pure passerby, I think Su Yang will fight Take Durant."

After the tweet was sent out, the number of retweets and comments soared, and Westbrook and Harden imitated it together.

...

In the early morning of the next day, the fact that Su Yang led the team to defeat the Lakers in his first show made the headlines without any suspense.

ESPN's morning show "First Take" discusses this. The topic is whether Su Yang can fulfill the arrogant speech at the draft conference, that is, he can not only bring the Clippers into the playoffs, but also win the first team and the best team. rookie.

The two guests acted as supporters and opponents respectively, and the discussion was extremely intense, but they obviously didn't believe it.

Su Yang thought it was quite interesting, and when he was excited, he received a call from Schwartz, saying that Jordan was going to discuss the sneaker endorsement in person.

The time was set at nine o'clock, and there were still two hours left. He didn't think about anything else. He simply ran to the villa to bring his own basketball for shooting and dribbling training. 38 points and 8 assists.

After two rounds of practice, he returned to the living room and answered the video call from Jordan on time.

As soon as the picture appeared, Jordan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Your training was so early, and you performed so well last night. Reward yourself for rest. The season is very long. You have to learn to plan your training reasonably."

Su Yang shook his head and smiled. Jordan is a famous trainer, so he couldn't believe a word of this.

"Long-term habit, idle is idle."

"I have received your request for additional money. We think it can be considered after research, but we hope you can show more. If you can average 14+ points per game after 25 games, we will choose to accept it. "

"Of course, there will be additional terms after signing the contract, such as the need for sales to reach a certain target."

Such a request shows that his strength is still questioned.

But Su Yang can understand, because there have been many short-lived players in the history of the NBA. It is difficult to prove success in the next few years after one or two games. Some are not durable enough, and some have been thoroughly studied.

Understandable is understanding, but he still chooses to be tough.

"So simple? I look forward to more challenging tasks!"
