In the boss's office, Su Yang and Turner sat opposite each other, and the assistant brought a cup of coffee and a cup of boiled water.

In order to have a better conversation, I didn’t sit at the desk, but chose to sit on the sofa to relax.

"How are you doing recently? Do you like the nutritious meals at the training base? If you have preferred food, you can tell the chef."

In order to enable the players to better improve the training effect, the logistics department, in accordance with Su Yang's instructions, specially hired chefs from various cuisines such as China, Mexico, Thailand, etc. Anyway, the cost is not enough. Try to formulate some personalized menus for each player.

Ordinary employees also enjoy the same catering treatment. Don’t mess with Kevin Garnett’s rules that must let players eat first.

In short, it is to try its best to create a super team.

Turner shrugged slightly: "I have been doing well recently. I like food and other things. It's better than I thought. I used to think that news reports, such as improving the treatment of cheerleaders and caddies, and making every player enjoy the same training service. It's just that you are trying to create a personal image. Now I see with my own eyes how much everyone loves this place. You are very unique."

When Su Yang heard this, he thought that Turner was quite straightforward, saying something, thinking, and communication was easy.

However, it is normal for Turner to worry that way, because many NBA bosses say that one thing is done, such as the 76ers boss. At the beginning of the outbreak, the NBA was suspended and the first to jump out and shout that it would guarantee the income of temporary employees. As a result, a few days later, not only did they not guarantee the income of those temporary employees, but they also laid off so many formal employees and earned a reputation as a good person for nothing.

"You haven't felt the enthusiasm of the fans yet. I dare not say that Sacramento fans are the most enthusiastic and supportive teams and players in the league, but they will definitely be better than the teams they played for before, and you don't have to worry about being criticized by them."

Turner shook his head and chuckled: "You mean the 76ers fans. They do have high requirements for players, and I have an experience."

76ers fans especially like to boo their own stars.

From the Iverson era, to Iguodala and Turner, to the future Simmons, they will catch a big boo if they play poorly, and even get angry that Simmons broke out a famous saying: If the fans boo us, then go and support the opponent, if you are a 76ers fan...

Turner also enjoyed the treatment of being booed in the 76ers. After Iguodala left, he was promoted to a regular basis, and averaged 17.4 points per game. However, because his shooting percentage was only 42.8%, he failed to lead the 76ers to go further, which made him personally experience being booed.

Su Yang intends to reshape Turner's confidence. The first step is to show the team-friendly atmosphere. At least there will be no fights between the Pacers and Stephenson during training last season, and then show the fans' full support to avoid being trembling when playing on the court.

"You can be completely relieved here, and with me in charge of the team, you won't encounter the embarrassing situation in the second half of the last season. I will let you serve as the second team player in the team, and form the strongest substitute in the league with Guy and Thomas."

Turner smiled, then put away his smile, frowned slightly and asked: "I watched the video. Last season, the team's substitute lineup was the main offensive method of Guy to get the ball or the ball in the running position, then play, or to provide continuous cover for Thomas first. According to what you said just now, my main task on the court is to control the ball at the top of the arc, see the opportunity to pass the ball or find a chance to break through?"

Su Yang nodded, thinking that he was a high-ball player. Turner read the video and talked, and easily described his positioning. Unfortunately, Turner was not suitable for playing without a ball, so last season, he had no ball in his hand when he was a substitute, and he performed like a fool.

When he came to the Kings, Turner returned to the ball holder. He would not have the embarrassing situation that last season would have been the same as before, and he would have made up for the bench organization. However, the data would not be too obvious. Fortunately, Thomas Jr. has signed a contract for 4 years, so there is no need to worry about the conflict between the two sharing assists.

"This mission was performed most of last season, but his ball-holding attack threat is not as great as you. You can better help Thomas and Guy get more opportunities, and even pair you with four shooter-type players..."

It is equivalent to LeBron's "one-star shot", and Turner has also had "one-star shot", which is enough to show that Turner threatens to hold the ball.

Unfortunately, Turner rarely made three-pointers in the past four seasons, and even if he starts practicing hard now, it will be difficult to pose a greater threat.

But that kind of thing cannot be forced. Turner is okay in the mid-range shot after all. If three-pointers and no-ball are okay, he will be the All-Star.

"What role will I play on the defensive end?"

Turner took the initiative to ask questions and was still irritated by his experience with the Pacers last season. The main reason is that Vogel's defensive system pays special attention to position distance, and then uses the "toll station" model with all the staff and feet, and joining it in a hurry is easy to get confused.

"Defense without the ball is mainly about switching defenses and helping in advance. There will be a lot of people staring at people and double-teaming, or partial three-defense and two-defense. The requirements for positioning distance are not that high. You don't have to worry about that. You are mainly responsible for high and large players, such as Harden..."

Su Yang signed with Turner, one of the reasons is that Harden or Thompson was restricted in the playoffs. Both of them were tall and large players, one was good at running and the other was heavy. Lavine temporarily needed a substitute in the playoffs, and when would Turner have to arrange it?

Turner was a little excited and sat upright and said, "It sounds like I will play very comfortably, but what should he do if I take over Covington's job?" As he spoke, the excited expression suddenly disappeared, as if he was sorry for seizing Covington's mission.

Su Yang saw Turner's change in expression and smiled: "He also played on the bench and arranged to be the small forward position. You two will jointly assist in defense to make up for Thomas' defensive disadvantage, while Guy moved to the power forward position, and Thompson will serve as the center..."

The Kings currently have a fourteen-player lineup, and the starting and substitute are quite reasonable. Among them, Bazmore and Grant have fewer opportunities. Bazmore will let them start or play more time depending on the situation, while Grant needs a specific opportunity to appear.

As for Jokic and Whiteside, they will only appear in special circumstances, and the Kings do not have much time to allocate pressure.

The defensive pressure of the substitute lineup is not that great. Guy can play power forwards and most of the time he can gain the advantage of pace and speed. If he really wants to improve the quality of defense, Guy's figure will not suffer too much against many power forwards. Anyway, the profit is far greater than the loss.

"Then I have no doubt..."

Turner exhaled with relief, "Coach, don't worry, with the support of you and the fans, I will give full play to my abilities to the greatest extent. I regard joining the Kings as an opportunity to prove myself again. As long as I succeed, I am willing to play for a long time."

Su Yang responded with a smile, not keeping the words Turner said in his heart for a moment of excitement, nor did he think that he would use them to negotiate a contract in the future.

This time, it only cost $7.71 million to sign Turner for two years, which is simply a bargain price, which is equivalent to getting what you need and achieving your goal.

After chatting for a few more words, Turner got up and left, and Su Yang called Bazemore and Whiteside to the office to talk.

It was lunch time in a blink of an eye. Su Yang browsed the news casually and saw that LeBron and Anthony both emphasized that they would lose weight.

LeBron said in an interview with espn: "In order to better adapt to Coach Cole's offense and defense system in the new season, I will make myself lighter and reduce the consumption of knees and ankles. You will see the 2007 version of LeBron."

Anthony said in an interview with tnt: "I have gained some weight in order to get deeper into the paint area in the past few seasons, which is not the best strategy for me. In the new season, we have Gasol and Noah, so I don't have to make so many paint areas scores. I need to run, conduct basketball more, link more defense more, and change myself..."
