start with scouting

Chapter 57 I only come to Austria for three things

The Blazers rushed to New Orleans, and McMillan suggested going to a jazz bar to relax.

Su Yang politely declined, and stayed in the room to study the game video of the first-year and second-year main players.

Ade and Roy ran to the room to chat with him, and the two laughed and said that they would beat up the first grade on behalf of the second grade, continuing the fine tradition of the past.Su Yang thought for a moment after hearing this, and told them to go all out on the offensive end so as not to lose their tradition.

In the early morning of the next day, Su Yang took a taxi to Morio Convention and Exhibition Center, and met with the CCTV team as agreed.

The meeting place was set at a small coffee shop, and the interview was planned for half an hour, but Su Yang pushed the door open and found that besides the CCTV team, there were also media such as Sina and Phoenix, and even Weilai Sports. There are twenty of them, and the small cafes are directly filled, making the coffee shop owner who just went to work look confused and completely overwhelmed.

Seeing Su Yang's surprised look, Zhang Lili pulled him to sit down, and explained with a smile that many friends from the media also wanted to be interviewed, but they didn't have time to report to the alliance and the Blazers PR department one by one, so they just went together.

Su Yang didn't hesitate after thinking about it, but he still only gave him half an hour, and he could ask anything he wanted.

As the boss, CCTV was the first to ask questions, let him talk about how to arrange the time for the UAE to play, whether to give the UAE the starting position, what tactics will be designed for the UAE, what suggestions do you have for the UAE, and how to view the recent performance of the UAE...

After a series of questions, Su Yang replied that winning is the first goal, and he will arrange some air cuts and mid-range shooting tactics for the Arab League to give full play to the technical characteristics of the Arab League. He suggested that he mentioned it to the Arab League in private before.

Sina was the second to ask a question, asking him to talk about his future coaching plans and whether he would consider setting up a coaching training class.

Su Yang expressed his willingness to share his coaching experience with everyone, but it is not convenient to disclose the plan for the time being.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, Su Yang bid farewell to the reporters, and entered the arena to watch the training of the second grade.

Thibodeau, the assistant coach of the Celtics who led the team in the second year, did not emphasize anything in particular, but asked the players to pay more attention to leaving space for teammates when defending off the ball. As for how to play on the offensive end, we will listen to Rondo Command will do.

Hearing Thibodeau's constant yelling to pay attention to defense, Su Yang felt that there was a chance. It might be unnecessary to worry that the two sides would not defend well. As long as the second-year team defends seriously, the first-year team will definitely be driven, it's just a matter of intensity.

Coupled with Rondo, the offense of the second-year team will not be too ugly, and the quality of the game will be guaranteed.

The one-hour training ended in a blink of an eye, and Su Yang was about to get up to pick up Arab League and others, but Thibodeau took the initiative to chat with him on the sidelines, and asked him directly how to quickly let the players understand the tactical intention and execute it efficiently.

When Thibodeau asked the question, his face was filled with a sincere smile, and his eyes were full of longing. He didn't feel ashamed at all because Su Yang was two rounds younger. It was like a martial idiot in a movie who didn't care about anything except practicing martial arts. .

The point is that Thibodeau also has a perfect baritone voice, like the host of a midnight radio emotional analysis show, his whole person is infectious, and with a bald head, he looks very real, without any pretense.

Su Yang didn't think much about it, and told Thibodeau that he must first truly believe in the players, even if he made a mistake, it doesn't matter.

Thibodeau frowned when he heard it, and expressed his incomprehension, but he still thanked Su Yang for his sincerity.

Su Yang didn't persuade him too much. It is very difficult to change a person's mind, especially an independent adult.

After chatting, he ran to the arena, picked up Ah Lian and others on time, and greeted Ah Lian from afar.

Ah Lian responded with a wave of his hand, and was immediately surrounded by CCTV and other media, and Su Yang was also interviewed along with him.

TNT was responsible for the live broadcast of the Rookie Challenge. The female reporter Maggio asked Su Yang what he thought of the past few years, when all the second-year teams won, and whether he had the confidence to lead the first-year teams to end the losing streak.

Su Yang bluntly expressed his confidence and said that Durant was the biggest support in the first grade.

Maggio asked how to limit Roy and Adelaide, the two Blazers players. Su Yang said that the two players were too aggressive and could not be restricted, but let the players fight for offense, especially the inside offense. Scola's footwork is very good.

After finishing the interview, Su Yang led the team into the arena and began to practice together for an hour.

It is said to be a joint practice, but in fact it is more for the media to take pictures for publicity, and it is difficult to practice any specific content.

Su Yang was not in a hurry to arrange tactics, and waited for the players to warm up for a few minutes before waving at Durant.

"Hey hey hey, wow..."

Durant walked to the sidelines, interacted with Su Yang with high fives familiarly, and stood with his hips casually, quite young.

Su Yang asked with a smile: "How are you doing recently? I think you only scored 9 points against the Suns the day before yesterday, and you made 12 of 2 shots, right?"

"Kang Muang! Don't mention that game..." Durant frowned and shook his head, "Are you deliberately humiliating me?"

"I didn't!" Su Yang deliberately shrugged exaggeratedly, spread his hands exaggeratedly, and said with a smile: "If I want to humiliate you, I will mention that you score 6 points against the Warriors, 6 points against the Jazz, 6 points against the Mavericks, and Shoot a rocket..."

Snapped!Durant raised his hand and slapped his forehead violently, the pain mask suddenly appeared, and subconsciously turned his head to avoid it.

"what do you want to say in the end…"

Su Yang chuckled: "I want to say that the kind of shooting guard who runs around and catches the ball is not suitable for you, what do you think?"

Durant hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"I also want to say that those complicated screens and moves are not for you, you don't need to do that complicated."

Durant nodded without hesitation.

"Later, I will design a set of tactics around you to ensure that you can give full play in the challenge tonight, let the world see what you are really good at, let the fans dispel doubts about you, and let you experience the fun of running tactics .”

Durant thought for a moment, then nodded seriously.

"What's the price?"

"There is no price. If you fully demonstrate your strength, you can reflect my role. This is a win-win situation for us."

"Can I handle it by myself?" Durant looked skeptical, "Is there nothing else that needs to be done?"

"Of course, if you are willing to accept it, go and call your brother Jeff Green..."

Durant nodded in response, walked to the field and told Green, and Green walked to Su Yang with a three-point vigilance.

Su Yang smiled and said: "Don't be so cautious, I treat Durant as a brother, and you are my brother..."

Green didn't say a word, Su Yang went on to say: "Are you confused about your position? You are obviously a small forward, but most of the time you are only in charge of running back and forth across the court. You are obviously very versatile, but the things you do are monotonous. You obviously have high potential..."

Green waited patiently until Su Yang finished speaking, and then asked: "Then how to solve it?"

"Listen, I will give you a brand new position, that is position zero..."

Su Yang said earnestly, "In my mind, you are a player like LeBron. You can break through for layups, score long shots, and take the initiative. You can also control multiple positions on the defensive end and hold the ball. , without the ball..."

The concept of zero position was invented by a commentator in the future, and Su Yang used it directly.

"Sounds interesting..." Green lowered his vigilance, "Then what do I need to do?"

"I will design a set of tactics around you later, practice hard, and show it to fans all over the world at night."

Green nodded in agreement, and followed Su Yang's request to call Al Horford out of the stadium.

"Al, my Superman..."

With Horford's confused expression on his face, Su Yang hopes that Horford will act as the offensive axis, playing some tactics arranged by coach Billy Donovan in college, and encourages Horford to take bold three-pointers in the game and play freely.

Horford is too important as a high-post support player, and he is needed in many first-year offenses.

After some encouragement and praise from Su Yang, Horford returned to the field with a smile and let Scola out.

In the blink of an eye for 10 minutes, Su Yang chatted with each first-year team member individually, and finally called the whole team to gather.

"Tonight's game, we have to do three things, win, win, or win..."
