I'm a big shot in basketball

Amid heated discussions among the public, Su Yang hurried back to Houston.

After getting off the plane, I took out my mobile phone to check the information, and suddenly saw a text message saying 'Fake Squid', regardless of who it was.

Instead, he rushed to the rocket training base overnight. While chatting with Dawson, he checked the mobile phone number and found out that it was a text message sent by Francis. It should be that Francis had already watched the show, but he just scolded Fake, which seemed quite restrained.

"I have read the summer league report you submitted. You have done a very good job this time. The boss Leslie fully supports your operation. Rudy has no objection. We agree that Francis and your affairs are in the first place before the start of the season. It would be better to solve it, and by the way, you can also advertise. Many season ticket holders have called to express their support for you..."

Hearing what Dawson said, Su Yang was determined. As long as the boss, head coach, general manager and Rockets season tickets hold fans' support, the media doesn't care what they say. Francis will give in sooner or later. It can really be traded.

It’s not that the Houston fans and management have never seen the market. They have won two consecutive championships, and Barkley and Pippen have also owned it. Francis is indeed a rising star, but everyone can see his professional attitude and low efficiency. Here, there are standards.

"However, Leslie hopes that you can take advantage of the off-season to study more data-related things. He originally thought that you were an art major and had no hope. Until he saw the Summer League report you provided this time, he hoped You can come up with something like a PER efficiency value, which is certainly better than PER, and can evaluate a player in all aspects as a long-term standard."

Dawson paused for a moment and smiled, "You should have read the article in Sports Illustrated, I'm not talking about the scene, I have indeed discussed with Leslie, and I will regard you as the general manager + head coach However, if you want to hold two important positions, our support is far from enough, you need to show visible results to convince more people.”

"Understood, I have an idea, and I will do it."

Su Yang nodded, thinking that it would be very simple to design a more scientific and reasonable data statistics than PER. Just use the most popular and most recognized TPA in his previous life. The sample is large enough and the error is very small. He can write it out on the spot, but DBMP, etc. The pre-data needs to be paved first, and it just takes advantage of the off-season time for forums and shows to promote.

The topic then changed to work related to the free market. Dawson lamented that the attractiveness of Houston is still too low. He failed to win the former Lakers point guard Tyronn Lue, resulting in a lack of people at the point guard position. It is estimated that he will have to wait until the end of September. to get it done.

Su Yang immediately recommended Carlos Arroyo. Anyway, come here to play the preseason first, and then sign a 10-day contract several times in a row for regular season inspections. If it is suitable, he will sign until the end of the season. Know your own system.

Dawson agreed on the spot, and then talked about the Nuggets general manager Vandeweghe who had previously applied for an interview with the head coach, but temporarily withdrew it without even being notified, so let me talk about it now.Su Yang bluntly said that he declined by asking for decision-making power.

Talking late into the night, Dawson said with emotion that he chose to retire when the Rockets returned to the playoffs. After serving the Rockets for so many years, he finally found a talent like Su Yang who can inherit the mantle. In addition, Tang Shuai can theoretically work for another ten years, so he is completely at ease. Slightly.

Su Yang agreed with a smile, very moved, but also a little tangled.

If Tang Shuai really worked for another ten years, wouldn't he be the general manager and teaching assistant at the same time?And as far as Dawson is concerned, if he makes the playoffs next season, will he retire on the spot and let himself take over as the general manager?It is possible to cultivate yourself according to the current form, but it is only a verbal promise, who knows what the situation will be.

The key management attaches so much importance to it, it would seem ungrateful if they leave early before the two of them retire.

It was useless to think too much, so I chatted a few more words, got up and said goodbye and hurried back to Katie, had a good sleep, and started work at eight o'clock in the morning.

He called Arroyo and invited him to stay in Houston for training during the off-season. He has already helped win a ten-day contract for the preseason and regular season.Arroyo agreed on the spot, and then called Jamalio Moon to send the same invitation, which was also successful.

Put down your phone, turn on the TV and watch the news.

ESPN is buzzing about yesterday's public torture of Francis.

A well-known commentator A. Smith said harshly: "Su Yang's approach is very absurd and vicious. He tried to make Francis forced to thank him by publicizing PUA. His words were that Francis could not be a rookie like Tim Duncan. Leading the team to win the championship in the second year is considered a failure, which is too nonsense.

I call on all the media to refuse any form of cooperation with Su Yang from now on. He uses the media to do bad things. He tries to control Francis by alienating the relationship between Eddie Griffin and Francis and presupposing achievements. "

Another well-known commentator, Bill Simmons, said: "Su Yang's statement about Francis' low efficiency is completely wrong.

In terms of effective field goal percentage, Francis was as high as 50% last season. In comparison, the scoring champion and MVP Allen Iverson only had 44.7%, and the championship winner and second-team player Kobe Bryant only had 48%. Jason Kidd, a first-team player with fewer shots, also scored 44.3%, so Francis' scoring efficiency is extremely high, and Su Yang really forcibly distorted the facts.

As for Michael Reed mentioned by Su Yang, 36 minutes is indeed very good, but that is only estimated data. Reed has not averaged 36 minutes per game. On the contrary, the established data of effective field goal percentage is enough to show that Francis is very efficient. . "

After the show is over, look at basketball forums, Fox Sports and other media. Many fans and commentators hold the same opinion as Bill Simmons. It is clear that Francis has a higher effective field goal percentage than Kidd and other guards. Why does Su Yang say that he Inefficient?

What's more, Bill Simmons also listed USG's round share rate. Iverson and Kobe both exceeded 30%, while Francis only had 24.2%. ?

Questions are many and violent, and explanations are required.

Su Yang thought that I already had the support of the management and the local fans in Houston, so I didn't need to explain it at all, but in order to convince the public, and to convince Francis, it was really necessary to explain, so he tapped the keyboard and posted.

But there is no need to name Francis directly, that would easily intensify the conflict, just explain the data flaws.

"First of all, any single stat, neither basic nor advanced, can reflect the full performance of a player in the game.

For example, the effective field goal percentage does not take into account the impact of the free throw player hitting the basket and making a foul to get a free throw on the game, and the parameters related to the three-pointer in the effective field goal percentage vary greatly among players. Some people shoot three-pointers with the ball. Some people catch the ball and shoot three-pointers, and some are released for three-pointers. Think about Kobe and Reggie Miller. Do they have the same shot environment?

Besides, the USG round share is calculated as (shooting + free throw + turnover)/team (shooting + free throw + turnover), which only reflects a basic proportion, and does not calculate parameters such as ball holding time and passing. It doesn't matter whether the ball is on or off. If a player dribbles the ball for 20 seconds and passes it to his teammate for a shot, then his share in this round is only playing time.

So please don't be misled by Bill Simmons. He is confusing concepts. If you are really interested, you can study in detail the number of shots, turnover rates, and ball possession time of well-known guards in the league. You can find out who is really efficient. "

After the explanation, I sighed in my heart.

Too many fans and media people confuse the possession of the ball with concepts such as ball possession time and ball possession, which leads to a few blind evaluations, but all-in-one does not necessarily lead to a super-high possession of the round, nor does a high possession of the ball The typical case is that Jordan has a high possession rate but is not all-inclusive, just because Jordan has a lot of shots and free throws, and he has less ball possession time than many guards.

There were a lot of replies to the post, and the fans expressed their understanding that they no longer believed in Bill Simmons. ESPN really only has half the people who understand football. I hope Su Yang can explain more about various high-level data and torture him severely. Those parallel commentators.

Su Yang took advantage of the trend to promote the concept of TPA.

In the evening, there will be a roundtable meeting on TNT.

Barkley and Kenny Smith took turns to speak. Both of them said that as former members of the Rockets, they fully felt Su Yang's sincerity during the recording of the program yesterday. They said that Su Yang did not mean PUA Francis at all, and it was all heartbroken. Francis is not self-disciplined enough and may fall quickly, and Rocket star Murphy, who also attended the show, also expressed his support for Su Yang.

TNT immediately released an interview with Rockets fans. A fan held a Rockets season ticket to express support for Su Yang's approach. He believed that Francis was indeed too free and undisciplined. He often heard that Francis did not participate in training and did not execute tactics. In the past, Tomgiano Coach Vicky is so easy to talk to, and now that the Rockets have selected Eddie Griffin to embark on the road to revival, they should be more professional.

Perhaps it was the combination of celebrities and fans, Su Yang received a call from Francis in the middle of the night, inviting them to have a barbecue together.

I was too lazy to think about whether Francis was convinced or not. Anyway, I won a round first, and I started to work on the surface.
