0249 Seven Heroes Contest
ESPN reports sparked a lot of discussion.
Most fans think it's nonsense. The consortium led by Thunder boss Clayton spent $350 million to buy the team, and then spent $80 million to move to Oxford City. In addition to the team's initial expenses, it invested at least 500 million.
As for Su Yang's MT application, it only provides text message function, which can be achieved by Twitter and Facebook. The so-called valuation of 2 billion US dollars is definitely a common method of capital arbitrage. If you want to attract more investments to join, you can make money by trading stocks in the future.
Some fans also questioned that since Su Yang's MT application has such great potential in the future, why are you still a head coach? I really love basketball, but I am still worried that I can't reach that level. The coach's main business cannot give up and put the eggs in two baskets.
Some fans directly sent private messages or left messages to inquire. Su Yang tweeted: "As some people speculated, I do love basketball and I do want to do both jobs. Please rest assured that the fans of the Ox City and the MT users are able to do it at the same time..."
That explanation has been recognized by many fans. Both speculations are facts, and human nature is so complicated.
On the 16th, Su Yang rushed to the new office of MT in Silicon Valley and began to recruit game production talents according to the previous plan.
Jiang Ruolan participated together, and the two of them had a detailed discussion with the twelve interviewers in four days, but Su Yang was not satisfied.
The main mobile games are very different from PCs and consoles. For the time being, some games like "Happy and Elimination" are temporarily made. Those interviewers either think that they are too low-level, or their thinking is limited, and they think it is difficult to innovate and cannot be recognized by the market.
However, the level design of games like "Happy and Elimination" is indeed difficult, and it is not enough to just make up three consecutive games.
The game production plan can only be temporarily abandoned, and Su Yang set off to return to Oklahoma and then made plans for the next step.
Jiang Ruolan drove him to the airport, and suddenly said, "Have you ever considered coaching the Golden State Warriors?"
Su Yang was stunned when he heard this, Jiang Ruolan continued: "That would be very close to the company. Even if you still have to fly many away games every season, at least after the training every day, you can quickly arrive at the company, so we will have more time."
Su Yang thought for a moment and shook his head slightly: "I haven't considered it yet, but I can actually move the company to another place."
The biggest advantage of Internet companies is that they are almost unrestricted by infrastructure in their cities. MT was originally established in Silicon Valley, mainly to facilitate talent recruitment and low tax collection. There is not much difference after stability, such as switching to Los Angeles.
Just as Su Yang returned to Oktoberfund, the 11th All-Star Weekend came to an end, and Kobe won the Amvp for the West.
Durant was still in the three-point competition and scored the lowest 6 points after the rules changed, which is considered a career dark history. Westbrook, who was seriously embarrassed in the first round of the Skills Challenge last year, finally advanced to the final this year, but was beaten by Curry.
However, Harden scored 30 points in the rookie challenge, but unfortunately he finally won the game in the first grade.
Overall, the All-Star Tour of the Third Young Master of Thunder was just a fun trip, but fortunately I didn’t play too crazy.
At 8 o'clock in the morning on the 21st, Su Yang landed at the Ocheng Airport and rushed directly to the Thunder Training Base in his assistant's car.
The team officially resumed training after the All-Star Weekend, and Durant and others were all there, and they were in good spirits.
As usual, the team warmed up the shooting first. During the chat, they talked about the recent deals. They were surprised that the Celtics sent Perkins to the Mavericks. After all, the Mavericks were only one tough inside player. After getting Perkins, their defensive strength will inevitably increase greatly.
Anyway, no matter what, Perkins is stronger than Dampier, and the contract is about to expire. The Mavericks can choose to renew their contracts during the offseason or choose to enter the free market. Everything depends on how Perkins performs, and they will definitely make a profit and no loss.
The Thunder generals also lamented that the Celtics were cold-blooded and ruthless. Perkins was a hero who won the championship and was actually sent away because of injuries.
When Su Yang heard the players discussing, he thought that this was ruthless. Anji had even more ruthless operations to show the entire league.
In addition to the Kaiser trade, the Rockets also sent Bathir and Brooks away, which is a complete entry into a new era.
The players excitedly discussed that Battier might be bought out by the Grizzlies and then join the Heat for a basic salary, making the Heat stronger. After all, Battier only has one season left in the contract, and his three-pointers and wing defense abilities rank in the top fifteen in the absolute league.
The two-day training ended in a blink of an eye. The 22nd, the first game after the All-Stars, and the Thunder flew to Los Angeles to challenge the Clippers away.
The Clippers sent Byron Davis and the unprotected first-round pick in 2011, where did the Cavs get Mo Williams and Jamario Moon, which led to the already chaotic offensive system, which made it impossible to even play the basic pick-and-roll well.
The Thunder maintained suppression throughout the whole process, and finally won 111-88, with substitutes Harden and Green scoring 46 points together.
The team set off overnight to San Antonio, challenging the Spurs back to back, and consolidated the league's first ranking.
The Spurs have played 56 games and have lost only 10 games, which is only 4 wins behind the Thunder. Popovich has made all the players adjust quickly and has fully played the role, but it is too low-key and not as topical as the Thunder and the Bulls.
The game started at 7:00 pm. The Thunder were in full swing in the first quarter, but the Spurs were also hot and led by only 6 points.
The second quarter turned into a battle of blocking the paint area, and both teams were forced to make more three-pointers. As a result, the Spurs made 4 of 5 shots and the Thunder made 0 of 6 shots, resulting in the Thunder falling behind the Spurs by 6 points at the end of the half-time game and was also troubled by fouls and mistakes.
After returning to the locker room during the break at halftime, Su Yang emphasized that tactics are fine, but lack of physical strength affects the feel, reminding the Thunder generals to remain confident: "You should learn from KD, think about his performance in the second-last genius in the history of the three-point competition..."
The Thunder generals burst into laughter, then returned to the stadium to participate in the third quarter, and made a bang bang and shot, which really made a comeback.
The Spurs couldn't find any other way on the defensive end, so they could only pull the Thunder to fight for the offense, and they could score crazy points.
In the end, with Durant's three-pointer and Harden's free throw, the Thunder narrowly defeated the Spurs 109-107.
After the game, the Thunder flew to Orlando and prepared to challenge the magic of returning home back to back after a day of rest.
Early the next morning, as the transaction deadline approached, various transactions were completed one after another, and Anthony's trading farce was completely over.
The Knicks pulled the Timberwolves, completed a three-party deal with the Nuggets, sent away Wilson Chandler and others, and got Billups and Anthony, which instantly made many media and fans think that the Knicks would become a strong contender in at least the Eastern Conference Finals.
With the end of Anthony's trade, fans believe that the second half of the league is a situation of the seven heroes. In the West, the Thunder, Spurs, Lakers, Mavericks, and the East are the Heat, Celtics, and Knicks. The championship will inevitably emerge from these seven teams.
Just before the Thunder and Magic match, Su Yang was interviewed by TNT reporters and talked about the Knicks' prospects.
"They have experienced veterans and vibrant newcomers, and they have a bright future..."
Su Yang said that, but in his heart he sighed that the Knicks management was a bad pen. Anthony was obviously not suitable for D'Anthony's tactical system. No matter what he did in the end, either signing D'Anthony was a joke, or getting Anthony was a joke when he got a deal.
The Thunder and Magic then started, and the Magic had a serious lack of physical strength and the Thunder won 23 points.
The whole team immediately set off for the return of Oscar City. Woj reported simultaneously that the Wizards would buy out Bibi, and the Heat were willing to take action.
Many fans left comments and comments, the mainstream view is that if the Heat can successfully win Bibi, they can let LeBron concentrate on scoring, so that they can play the Heat's strongest strength and fight the Thunder in the finals.
