It only took half an hour for woj to publish news, and social platforms such as Twitter have sparked a lot of discussion. Some fans believe that the hard salary cap is to balance the income and expenditure of each team in the league, and to avoid some teams spending too much money and signing too many inefficient or invalid contracts.

Some fans also believe that it is mainly to restrict the number of super players from flying into a certain team to avoid the appearance of Heat 2.0.

But no matter what the fans think, there is always a common basis, that is, the investors want to get more money.

The news of the suspension after the league season has been rumored to be very circulating, and the core reason is to change the income distribution ratio.

Su Yang thought it was quite fun to talk about various discussions. If the fans now knew that there would be many star players in the future, in order to form teams with other stars, they would directly force the palace to trade during the contract period, which would probably be shocked and wonder what to describe.

Anyway, in the offseason in 2010, the formation of the Heat's Big Three completely awakened the players' desire to make decisions.

After chatting about the news, the game was held as usual. Durant scored 43 points to lead the team to win. The Thunder 4-0 Hornets throughout the season.

The result of the game was 104 to 93, and it didn't seem to win too much, but the Thunder led 12 rebounds and 7 blocks. The weirdest thing is that they took 15 fewer shots than the Hornets and made 7 more mistakes, all relying on 10 three-pointers to hit the Hornets.

As for the Hornets' loss, the main reason is that Paul has as many as 14 assists, but only made 5 of 9 shots in the game, and the score is too few.

After the game, espn data expert John Hollinger tweeted: "The Thunder is a team that constantly proves how much room for improvement in data statistics. From 2008-09, they reversed the Cavaliers at halftime by 34 points, to today's crazy mistakes and winning..."

When Su Yang saw Hollinger's Twitter, he thought that it was really a waste of emotional intelligence and data statistics. When he said high emotional intelligence, data statistics still have a lot of room for improvement. He had to do big data in everything, but there were too many factors that affected the winning or losing of a game, and it was basically useless.

Even if it is recognized that "controlling rebounds can control the game", there will be a crazi loss of 31 rebounds in the future, and the shooting percentage is 7 percentage points behind. The result is a strange situation where which team wins the game, or a big victory!

After fighting the Hornets, Thunder embarked on a journey of 2 passengers.

The first stop flew to Phoenix, and the team's five players doubled the Suns in scoring. Green, who came on the bench, scored a maximum of 28 points in the game.

In the second stop, he flew to Salt Lake City. Six players in the team scored a double-digit victory over the Jazz. Westbrook defeated Delong with 33 points in the game and 14 points.

With fifteen consecutive victories, the team flew back to Oklahoma and faced the Grizzlies for the third time in the season. Unexpectedly, they were always behind after the opening. Until the last 9 seconds of the game, Green and Durant made consecutive mid-range shots, forcibly reversed the winning goal.

The second sixteen consecutive wins of the season have made the Thunder confident in defending the title, from the boss to the fans and the media.

The whole team rested for four days according to the schedule. After training at noon on the 10th, General Manager Presti and Business Director Ted found Su Yang and said they hoped to strive for a 22-game winning streak, so as to facilitate the price increase in the future and the team spent a lot of money.

If the 22 consecutive wins are successfully achieved, the board of directors hopes to further strive for 72 wins, after all, that is a big selling point.

Su Yang frequently echoed and expressed his understanding, because the small football market is like that, and it is difficult to make a lot of money to win the championship many times, such as the Spurs.

The main reason is that the advertising sponsorship is small and the endorsement fee is low. The team's liquidity is relatively small and the average ticket price is difficult to increase. It is a super city like New York, with annual results, but the thirty teams are the most profitable every year.

It’s okay if you don’t make a lot of money, but the worst thing is the kind of team that invests a lot in winning the championship and pays high and luxurious amounts.

So, teams like the Rockets, the boss insists on not paying luxury taxes and relies on bragging to attract fans to buy tickets every season.

The key is that with the arrival of the hard wage cap, the amount of luxury tax collection will also increase. Compared with the previous fixed range model that exceeds the level of payment, the exponential growth penalty model will be adopted in the future unless you are willing to lose money and make a name for yourself.

The three of them talked for a while, but Su Yang neither agreed nor refused. He only said that he would make adjustments depending on the situation and that the health of the players was preferred.

After all, there was a team that won 73 in the regular season, but the boss of the team was too tired. He was injured twice in the playoffs and returned to the game early. Not only did he lose the championship, he also completely revised his career reputation and never had the opportunity to be promoted to President Mountain.

After the four-day rest time was over, the Thunder embarked on the second-line away schedule and flew to Sacramento to challenge the Kings in the first stop.

Perhaps they are convinced that they have no hope of making the playoffs and will not make any trades. The season's goal has become a No. 1 pick, and the Kings have fierce fighting power. The reason for their fierceness is that their head coach Paul Westfal allows the players to play freely.

Cousins ​​benefited the most and no longer wanted to get a position for his teammates. He repeatedly grabbed rebounds with his figure advantage, and also took advantage of his backcourt rebounds to give full play to his long pass advantage, helping the Kings increase their counterattack speed and greatly improving the Kings' efficiency in defending, turning off offense and scoring.

Evans no longer limits his goalkeeper's style of playing, but instead plays as much as he wants, and returns to his rookie season.

The Thunder took a four-day break, but failed to keep up with the rhythm at the beginning, and was kept under pressure. He fought hard until the end of the fourth quarter and finally overtook one point.

The Kings head coach quickly paused and arranged a series of arrangements, which made Evans and Cousins ​​confused.

In that way, the Kings attacked all the irons in four consecutive attacks, and the Thunder finally won 105-99.

In the whole game, Durant and several other main players played for more than 40 minutes, which was obviously exhausted.

The team flew to Oakland overnight to challenge the Warriors back to back.

After the game started, Su Yang intended to reduce the time when Durant played, and fell behind by 6 points in the first quarter.

I originally wanted to rely on the substitute to catch it back, but I thought that the crazy Warriors used an 8-man rotation. After the second quarter, Curry and Ellis did not rest, and they felt so good that they exploded, and they directly expanded the lead by 22 points.

Su Yang thought for a long time and insisted on regular rotation. He did not send his main force again until 7 minutes left in the second quarter.

With the advantage of hard power, the Thunder gradually narrowed the score gap, but the Warriors insisted on eight-man rotation and could not narrow it to within 15 points. The situation remained until the end of the fourth quarter, and Curry scored a long three-pointer to offset the Thunder's rapid offensive.

In the end, the Thunder lost to the Warriors 104-108, and the winning streak was ended, and the probability of tying 72 wins was also greatly reduced.

The team returned to Oklahoma overnight. As soon as Su Yang got off the plane, he saw the Twitter hot discussion about espn reporter Mark Stein reported: The Thunder was a little dissatisfied with Su Yang letting the game lose to the Warriors because he could completely win 22 consecutive games. In order not to hurt the players, the strategy was too conservative, but the game was not far from Sacramento and Oakland, and the players were not that tired.

Seeing the words "22 consecutive victories", Su Yang felt a little distressed. He knew that capitalists like to maximize their interests, so it is normal to complain.

But no one in the Thunder management responded to the report, which made him feel a little weird, but he took it to heart.

After two days of rest, the Thunder played against the Kings at home, and finally won 126-96, with 8 players in the team scoring in double digits.

After the game, the NBA schedule entered the All-Star Weekend. The Thunder nominally had six days off and was free to arrange it.

Durant and Westbrook were both selected, and Harden also had to participate in the second-year rookie challenge, and the three of them flew to Los Angeles together.

Su Yang flew straight to San Francisco, preparing to take advantage of the six-day holiday to recruit some game makers to create mobile games such as "Candy Crush Legend". After all, the era of mobile games has arrived, and any hit product will earn hundreds of millions of dollars.
