Chapter 491 Alliance Structure
While there are frequent signings and transactions in the free market, the Las Vegas Summer League is held simultaneously.

The No. [-] pick Wiggins performed quite explosively. He turned around and cut for a dunk, made an emergency stop to take off and made a mid-range shot. Fighting spirit...

Dellavedova of the Cavaliers also performed well. He and Wiggins defeated the Jazz in overtime, showing super tenacity, and soon won TNT's separate tweet praise, which also made fans talk about the Cavaliers getting better , I think the Cavaliers have hope to return to the playoffs after LeBron leaves. After all, the No. [-] pick Irving + No. [-] Wiggins + several other high-ranking players have full potential.

Su Yang specially flew to Las Vegas to watch the game, and it happened that the Kings were playing against the Celtics. LaVine encountered Smart on the offensive end and tried to get rid of the failure several times. He only scored 2 points in the half. In total, only 10 points will be credited.

After the game, although the Kings beat the Celtics by 15 points, the fans still talked about Smart's victory over LaVine, and some reporters broke the news that the Kings originally wanted to choose Smart, but they were intercepted by the Celtics on the spot , the fans turned to praise Angie for his clever calculations.

No one cares about Smart's 29.4% field goal percentage. Fans want to see LaVine overturn, and by the way, slap Su Yang's predictions.

Su Yang didn't bother to pay attention.

Unexpectedly, the next day when the Kings played against the Hornets again, the reporter actually took advantage of the gap before the game and asked LaVine on the sidelines: "There are rumors that the Kings' first choice for the fifth pick is not you, but Marcus Smart Te, what do you think about that?"

LaVine was momentarily at a loss for words.

After a while, he said: "It's meaningless to discuss what happened in the past. I feel very suitable since I joined the Kings. Coach Su Yang values ​​me very much. The teammates are willing to help me. Even if the first plan is not me, it doesn't matter. "

The game started immediately, and LaVine played extremely well, scoring 15 points in the half and 24 points in three quarters.

The Kings also beat the Hornets, and in the game between the Celtics and the Spurs on the same day, Smart made 14 of 2 shots and made 7 turnovers.

Su Yang saw the report after the game and thought: LaVine is too good at things, at least he doesn't have to worry too much about his emotions in the future.

Back in Sacramento, the issue of Green and Gay's distribution of ball rights finally came to the table and must be discussed first.

I found two people to have an in-depth chat. I thought it would take a lot of effort, but Green said bluntly: "I have never been the kind of player who pursues statistics, but I have the ability to score high when needed. I just want to prove my ability to the game." Influence…"

And Gay said: "My first goal is to win the championship, and my second goal is to sign a long-term contract next year. I understand that there are too many people in the team who can solve the offense. I prefer to pursue high-efficiency data. I Accept all your arrangements..."

At the end of the conversation with the two, Su Yang wondered if he had been fooled, and the biggest problem was solved so easily.

But after thinking about it again, both Green and Gay have great trust in themselves, and they see the possibility of winning the championship. If they are replaced by other coaches who turn their backs on their promises, and a bad team that has no hope of winning the championship, they must be immersed in grabbing data. what happened.

In a blink of an eye, on July 22, the Kings reversed and defeated the Rockets in the finals, successfully defending the Las Vegas Summer League champion.

LaVine played in all seven games, averaging 18.6 points per game, and his shooting percentage was slightly worse at 40.3%.In contrast, Smart played 4 games, averaging 29.2 minutes per game, and scored 3 points in 14 games, playing very experienced like a veteran.

It's a pity that Smart's overall shooting rate is only 29.8%, ranking last among all the lottery participating in the Summer League.

In order to attract traffic, TNT specially made a data comparison between LaVine and Smart, which attracted many fans to laugh at Danny Angie for being smart when he intercepted the king. They also laughed at Angie for choosing point guards who didn't shoot. special.

Su Yang specially held a team award ceremony for LaVine, and then assigned summer training tasks to the whole team. He encouraged but forced the whole team to upload training videos every day, and then flew back to China to meet with Mr. Lei, the investor, and arrange short video related Work together. NBA transactions are coming to an end. The Warriors used draft picks to pull in a three-way trade with the 76ers. They struggled to send David Lee to the Celtics, and then used the freed salary space to sign Millsap. There were also rumors that they almost sold Klay. Sent to the Timberwolves in exchange for Kevin Love, who was once praised highly by LeBron. However, at the last moment of the trade, Jerry West resigned and persuaded Clay to stay.

Darren Collison signed a 2+1 contract with the Warriors and became a substitute for the Warriors' main point guard Livingston.

LeBron also signed a 1+1 contract with the Warriors, explaining to the outside world that it is to maintain vitality so that he can sign a bigger contract and stay in the Warriors for a long time after the salary cap soars in the summer of 16. However, fans and the media think that it is forcing the Warriors to do something .

The Lakers didn't get anything in the free market, and Kobe became a lonely family. The two brothers and sisters Jim and Jenny had a big conflict because of this. Jim Buss boasted on the board of directors that he would return to the Western Conference Finals within two years, and everyone in the meeting burst into laughter. thunder.

The Clippers in the same city failed to pursue LeBron and Anthony, Ballmer officially became the boss, and the president of basketball operations, Rivers, signed the center Spencer Hawes for $4 million in 2265 years, and once again strengthened the bench lineup. put wasted space.

The Rockets successfully reinforced Ariza, and acquired Jason Terry as a substitute through a trade. Although the pursuit of Bosh failed, there are rumors that they will reinforce Josh Smith at the power forward position, because the contract buyout negotiations between the Pistons and Josh are extremely difficult. likely to succeed.

The lineup of the Spurs and Thunder has not changed much, forming the six powerful Western Conference with the Kings, Warriors, Rockets, and Clippers.

The Mavericks got Chandler and Parsons, and the backcourt re-signed Harris, who looked equally strong, and the Blazers were not far behind.

The Grizzlies are unwilling to go further, the Pelicans are also in the stage of explosive performance, and the West has become more difficult to play than last season.
Su Yang took the time to pay attention to the Kings and the league. He found that the Kings Curry, Gay, and Cousins ​​formed a team to participate in the U.S. team's World Championship training camp, and the butterfly effect changed dramatically. Paul George was not injured and fractured, and the Pacers will still be strong next season .

The butterfly effect also affects the Eagles. Without Millsap, only Landry, who is recovering from a serious injury, is a bit hard to tell.

The Bulls became the biggest winner in the free market, almost reaching the Eastern Conference regular season championship and qualifying for the playoff finals, soaring into the sky.

The generals of the Kings train very hard, and they spend less time on vacation and clubbing, but in order to maintain training, they also spend a lot of money.

Compared with other teams, the king spends ten times more on training-related aspects, including diet, equipment purchase, software authorization, venue rental, trainer hiring, etc. Business director Chris Granger reports every day that it may lose money.

Fortunately, because of the excellent record of the Kings last season, and the signing of Curry and other players, the sales of Kings peripheral products are booming. Su Yang has negotiated many cooperations with media such as CCTV, Sina and Tencent. .

Through Su Yang's matchmaking, Anta signed an endorsement contract with Thomas Jr., which can be regarded as making up for part of the loss of income.

Li Ning wanted to take over the advertising space on the ball stand at a high price, but Su Yang firmly refused, and also rejected the offer from many loan companies.

At the end of September, after finishing the work related to the short video, Su Yang flew to the United States again and invited Li Muhao to participate in the preseason game. The main thing is to arrange to play in the China game against the Nets, and then decide whether to bring it to the United States for training, or give 10 day contract.

On October [-]st, the king's new season media meeting.

After three years, Su Yang said harshly to more than 50 reporters: The king will be the championship of the 2014-2015 season.
