I'm a big shot in basketball

The guild's tone was quite aggressive, but Su Yang was completely unfazed.

If the NBA Players Association is really useful, it will not be easily defeated by the bosses every labor negotiation. It is nothing more than someone who sees himself as unhappy and wants to use the Players Association as a gun. The purpose is to damage his reputation, and there is no other potential loss.

What's more, I didn't do anything wrong at all, such as Ayton's positive drug test and the league's suspension of 25 games.Right now, as a representative of the Rockets, I am the first to give Maurice Taylor a 20-game suspension, which can be regarded as a certain degree of protection, and I have to thank myself.

The second day NO.14, rest day.

Su Yang received a call from Dawson and rushed to the training base temporarily to have a detailed discussion before Tom officially returned.

"Recently, I have received a lot of applications to invite you to interview the head coach, and I have also seen reports that some teams are openly competing for you, and our current situation is like this. After I discussed it in depth with Tom, he decided to continue with the first-line coaching work..."

Between the words, Dawson said that Tom thought he hadn't reached the age of retiring to the second line, his body had fully recovered, and he liked to teach on the front line very much. champion.

Based on Tom's experience in the Rockets for so many years, it is natural to say the truth, and Tom cannot be forced to retreat to the second line.

"According to the plan, Tom will officially return after playing the Heat and serve as the head coach again. Now we want to know your thoughts, but before you speak, I want to express my attitude with Alexander, that is, we support you Any decision, whether you want to go to another team or choose to stay in Houston, of course we want you to stay."

Dawson's tone is quite sincere, knowing that talents are rare. The Rockets have given Su Yang a chance to become famous. Su Yang has also helped the Rockets a lot, including developing Griffin and Thomas' style of play, making Francis' style of play more efficient, and establishing a super team. Strengthen the offensive system, prepare for the establishment of TPA data assessment standards, avoid Morris Taylor's big contract free, and increase Houston's attendance.

Even the sponsorship has improved. There is a local Chinese company in Houston that puts out advertisements because of Su Yang.

Even if Su Yang leaves, there will be opportunities to cooperate again in the future. Even if they no longer cooperate, it is a good thing to give some references, such as who should be chosen better, or whether a certain free agent is worth signing. It is a great benefit to help out. .

What's more, with Su Yang's talent, sooner or later he will become the general manager of a team, and he can also trade and interact. Auerbach's connections in the Green Army.

As far as Su Yang is doing things, he will definitely be grateful.

"Of course, we want you to stay, and we won't let you stay in vain. We will also make a new offer, but before that, we want to hear your thoughts." Dawson said, taking out Contract already prepared.

Obviously, this negotiation can be signed to take effect.

Definitely come prepared.

Su Yang didn't hesitate when he saw this.

"My goal is to buy a team in the future. I will leave the Rockets sooner or later, so I want to go to another team to see. If the negotiation goes well, I can stay until the end of the season and wait until the next season to take office and help the team. Go through the season."

Just like Mike Brown did in the Warriors, after successfully interviewing the Kings coach, he also stayed as an assistant until the end.

Dawson smiled and nodded, "Actually, I knew from the day of the interview that you have a very ambitious goal and you have the ability to implement it step by step. Now let me talk about our offer, because Tom wants to stay on the front line for coaching. ,

So I am willing to give up my general manager position.

From this season onwards, as long as you help the team win the championship, or after five years, I will retire and let you take over. During this period, we will also jointly decide so draft signings and trades, and you can also lead the team’s offensive and defensive system design ..."

You only need to wait five years, and you can take over the position of general manager regardless of whether you win the championship or not, and at the same time most of the head coaches.

That kind of operation is basically to take care of the hero Tom. In fact, it is possible to force Tom to be promoted and relegated to the second line.

Maybe the effect of Tom coming back to lead the team will become worse, and fans, players or the media will "force" him to retreat to the second line.

If that's the case, it's seamless.

"During this period, we will give you a basic annual salary of 150 million US dollars. Maybe you can have a higher basic annual salary if you go to other teams to coach, but the probability of being promoted to general manager within five years is very small, and you may not be able to lead the team quickly. release results.

If you stay in Houston, you don’t need to start all over again, and the external pressure at work will be reduced by at least half, and you don’t need to be separated from your girlfriend for a long time if you have relatives and friends. Although young people don’t have to live so comfortably, there is no need to impose difficulties.

Am I right? "

Su Yang was a little moved when he heard it. Going to coach other teams is nothing more than accumulating prestige and preparing for the purchase of the team. As for the start-up capital, since the basic annual salary is 150 million US dollars, it is basically enough to save until 05, which is a bit difficult select.

Never expected that Alexander would be willing to offer an annual salary of 150 million US dollars, nor would Dawson be willing to take the initiative to give up his position.

But it's understandable after thinking about it. Dawson was close to retirement age, and he didn't continue to work after getting a lifetime contract.

Don't worry about playing word games.

The question is, can results be achieved within five years?

Francis + Mobley + Griffin have a ceiling as the core. The first time they played against the Spurs, they narrowly won, and the second time they lost against the Spurs is the best proof. There are not many strong free agents in the next few years. Difficult to climb to the top.

After Francis renews his contract, there is not much salary space left. Is Alexander willing to spend a lot of money to strengthen it?

What if there is a big disagreement with Dawson?

Can you wait patiently for five years?

I definitely don’t want to be subject to too many restrictions. At least I have to go to the interview and walk around first, so that I can make a decision after comparison.

Rather uncertainty is created by oneself than imposed by others, avoiding regretting 'could have been'.

What's more, my ambition is not to succeed the general manager in five years, but to become the team owner in five years.

Buying a team is not all about money, it also needs the support of other team owners. As a second-line alternate general manager, the network that a champion coach can create is obviously not as many as a champion coach, and the degree of exposure is also very different, although it will be more tiring.

Buying a team is to create more possibilities, just like Cai Chongxin's huge assets, he is also rushing to buy the Nets.

"It is indeed an offer that makes me very excited, but I still want to go to the interview first, and then make a decision after discussing it with relatives, friends, and girlfriends in detail. Even if I choose to leave, I will try to stay until the end of the season, you know I mean?"

Su Yang told the truth, there was no need to hide it.

"Haha, I guessed that you would choose this way. I still have hope for you to stay. I believe our quotation is competitive. As I said before, we support any decision you make." Dawson's words are still very sincere.

Su Yang smiled and nodded, understanding why he said that.

Dawson knows that he has great ambitions, but he doesn't know that his ambitions are so big that he wants to become the team owner in 07.

After chatting a few words about the guild's protests, they ended the meeting and drove to the studio to inform Beyoncé of her plan to start an interview tour across the United States.Beyoncé hugged support, then discussed song production, and lingered in the office at noon.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the personnel department and Dawson announced that they would return after the game, and at the same time emphasized that they would remain the same, implying that Thomas' position would not be adjusted, Francis' style of play would not be changed, and Su Yang would continue to dominate the team's offense and defense. .

Tom aims more at long-term training.

On the second day, the Rockets faced the Heat without a superstar. The combination of Griffin and Thomas' inside and outside bombs, and the combination of Hammer Mourning + Grant, and Francis, who came back after being suspended for five games, showed his attitude. point.

The Heat's tough defense is difficult to display in the face of a large number of off-ball runs. It depends on the referee's deflection to barely maintain efficiency.

In the end, the Rockets defeated the Heat 93 to 76.

Su Yang returned to the locker room, announcing that he was officially returning as a teaching assistant, and thanked everyone for their support for nearly three months.

There was no game the next day, so Su Yang got up early and flew to Memphis to participate in the secret interview initiated by the Grizzlies.
