I'm a big shot in basketball

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Griffin arrived in Houston.

Su Yang drove to the airport to meet him, picked up Mu En and Arroyo by the way, then took the three of them straight to the hotel next to the training base, put away their luggage and other things, and took Griffin to see the house , it is recommended to rent first rather than buy, to save some money.

"You are now in the stage of capital accumulation. When you have money, don't trust those financial consultants who suddenly come to you. What is the annual income of 14%, you just buy more houses in hot areas to ensure that you can achieve long-term wealth. increase…"

"Know Duncan and Garnett, they were both cheated by a guy named Banks, and don't believe your cousins, cousins, etc. Investment advice, if they can make money again, they will definitely take out loans Come on, you just buy a lot of houses."

"You don't buy sports cars or anything like that. Those things depreciate quickly, but buying a house can keep your value for a long time."

After several minutes of bombardment with suggestions, Eddie Griffin felt a little rebellious and said, "I'm not a kid."

"Yes, you are 19 years old, but you have not seen the dangers of society. When we arrive in Los Angeles, there will be a large number of gold-digging women who will take the initiative to sleep with you, and then secretly leave condoms to conceive and have children. By then Asking you to ask for child support, Sean Kemp, you know, he has a lot of illegitimate children, and he has to pay money every month, do you want to live that kind of life?"

"I will pay attention."

Eddie Griffin curled his lips in disdain, "You are only 22 years old, why are you pretending to be so oldschool?"

"I'm young but experienced."

Su Yang thought about Eddie Griffin recruiting prostitutes in Dayao's room in his previous life. He could do anything. He had to be vaccinated and put on a magic spell in advance, so that he wouldn't be exposed as Eddie Griffin in Los Angeles. Although Fen's recruitment of prostitutes is not serious compared to the level of directly calling a few prostitutes to wait in the room after the game in the 80s, it also shames her own team management ability.

"Okay, got it."

Eddie Griffin held his head in his hands impatiently, thinking that when he arrived in Los Angeles, he must get a few bottles of good wine to drink.

Su Yang put away the topic and began to chat about the past, learn more about Griffin, and strive to further deepen the relationship.

Instead, I rushed to the first rental location, the Mills Supermarket area next to Asia City. I guessed that Griffin would live closer to me, and there were not many entertainment items. I drove to the base for training every morning and got off work. I can monitor it when I come back.

Getting Griffin right is tantamount to getting the Summer League right, so you can better demonstrate your potential to contribute to the tactical system, wait until the regular season to further improve your voice in the coaching staff, and then show the entire league that you can also lead the trend in the regular season.

It's intertwined.

Griffin didn't have any special requirements, as long as he could live there, he said he would buy a house after receiving his first salary.

After working hard for a while to complete various procedures, Su Yang drove Griffin back to the base, and brought Arroyo and Moon, as well as Jason Correll and Dan Longie who were also going to participate in the Summer League, and the newly arrived Second-round small forward Terrence Morris, having dinner together.

"This summer couplet, I will let everyone show their potential value. After this meal, practice will start tomorrow!"

On NO.30 of the next day, the Rockets held a media meeting for Eddie Griffin, and Su Yang could only make up the crowd in the audience.

Boss Alexander, general manager Dawson and head coach Tom hosted together, and the stars praised Griffin.

After a few words of praise, the reporter asked questions.

Su Yang was too lazy to listen carefully, thinking about how to better demonstrate Griffin's value, and vaguely heard talking about why three first-rounders were exchanged, whether Griffin would be regarded as the core insider in the future, and how Looking at Griffin's physical conflicts with his classmates for two consecutive semesters in the senior year and freshman year, he finally talked about whether Griffin can be regarded as Garnett with three points.

After the meeting was over, Su Yang also made up his mind.

For the time being, use Eddie Griffin as the peak Drummond Green, and set tactics around him, but don't let him deal with complex support, do more Keep, continuous screens, and false screens. Tactics such as rushing to the basket give full play to his mobility advantage and long-range shooting ability. As for the defensive end, it is best to help defend and block shots, and match him with an early help defense system.

As for the low-post heads-up, there is no requirement for the time being, as long as you can turn around and hook your hands before hitting, other skills are not enough.

With excitement, practice started after lunch.

According to the schedule starting on July 7th, nearly six days will focus on six series of tactics, which is enough to deal with the seven opponents of the Summer League. Unfortunately, the Las Vegas Summer League has not yet been held, and the spread of the seven opponents is still strong. a bit small.

Leading the team to shoot first to warm up, and then to practice quick pass and quick retreat, Su Yang called the team to gather 12 people.

"The first thing we practice is the Keep series. This tactic starts from the inside and four outside. First, the strong side screens, and the receiver turns from the top of the arc to the weak side, forming a Chicago coordination, and then playing a potential 'blind pig' coordination, and finally KEEP…”

I wanted to say that the triangle offense is a strong and weak switch, connecting Chicago and blindpig to cooperate. I was worried that the players would be confused when they heard the triangle attack, so I just talked about the strong and weak switch, and first established a dynamic offensive concept for the players. Don’t worry.

"For the rest of the day, we only practice the Keep series of tactics. As long as you understand that the core concepts are running and reading, no matter where you go in the future, you can quickly master any seemingly complicated tactics, which will benefit you in the long run... "

The Rockets have only a few contracts, and many players understand that they cannot stay. In order to prevent players from messing around with data, they should be informed in advance to practice and implement tactics carefully, which can also benefit in the long run.

The general manager Dawson and the head coach Tom looked at each other, and they also showed praise on their faces. They are happy that Su Yang is not a pure tactical theory school. He knows how to manage expectations and plan training reasonably when leading a team for the first time. related progress.

If it is said that in the previous three-day trial training, the draft was used as bait to guide those players, this time it is obvious that it can only rely on dry goods.

"OK, let's first practice the positioning of the one-in-four-out formation during the advancement process, starting from the backcourt and getting the rebound for the first time..." Hand-in-hand teaching, although very basic, allows the players to understand from beginning to end. How it happened is also important.

Between yelling and shouting, the first day of training is over.

The overall effect is not bad. The three major changes and the eight small changes are all running quite skillfully. The biggest problem is that the passing is not timely enough.

I'm not too entangled. After all, most of them are second-round picks and undrafted picks. The ability itself is not that strong, so I can't force it for a while.

Su Yang chatted with the players one by one to see if they were confused, and casually encouraged a few bright points, and then accepted the interview with the TNT team reporter on the sidelines. He never thought about the first question when he talked about someone sharply criticizing Eddie Griffin and their summer league trip.

The reporter relayed the words of ESPN commentators A. Smith and Bill Simmons, and believed that Eddie Griffin did have potential. After all, the scouting score was 107, but the personality and confrontation problems were not worth the Rockets' three first rounds. exchange.

A? Smith believes that the Rockets are very likely to pay a heavy price for the comeback of this transaction, resulting in no small forward available for many years.

Bill Simmons believes that the Rockets' use of Su Yang as the head coach of the summer league is a show. After receiving the benefits of selling tickets for the previous three days of trial training, he wants to further build Su Yang's "young genius" personality, Just for selling tickets.

"What do you think?" The reporter finally asked.

Su Yang looked at the camera with a smile: "There are only 0.5 people in ESPN who know how to play football. I will swell the faces of A. Smith and Bill Simmons to let them understand that I am a young talent. Let Eddie Griffin show why he's worth three first-round trades, just hope ESPN doesn't hide and pretend..."

The traffic delivered to your door should not be in vain.
