On December 3, the Kings flew to Mexico City, Mexico to play an overseas regular season with the Celtics.

The game is specially arranged by the league and is part of the NBA overseas promotion plan. As the champion of last season, the Kings are naturally assigned to the indicators, while the Celtics were invited because of their long history, with the intention of attracting more fans in Mexico.

This kind of promotion is useless, but the results are calculated. The two teams are forced to fight, and most of them are exhausted when they are exhausted.

Su Yang was speechless.

While waiting for the time, I emailed Xiao Hua, writing: "The decline in regular season ratings is irreversible, and it will not change greatly with the efforts of the league, because the birth of mobile media will have many interesting things than the regular season. For example, watching live broadcasts, what the league should do is to continue to improve the viewing experience, retain old fans, and let them bring more new fans..."

At the end of the email, two suggestions were also made. First, don’t let the rules be too favorable to the offense, and leave out fans who like to confront each other.

Second, players should be restricted from changing teams at will, especially those who have no reason, that is, they do not want to play in a certain team, and they are required to run away during the contract period, and they are coerced by not participating in training camps, negative competitions, agents, etc., and must be dealt with seriously.

Changing teams at will will reduce the fans' long-term attention to the game and emotional establishment. Today, the two players are still competing, and tomorrow they will become good brothers. How to deal with the harsh words you ask fans to make, the value of the championship will also be reduced accordingly.

Teaming up at will will make fans in the small football market lose hope. NBA should limit the illegal Big Three model and reduce monopoly.

After sending the email, the plane arrived, the team flew to Mexico, then landed in the hotel, rushed to the competition site, participated in press conferences, conducted public training, attended NBA care activities, took promotional photos, and other things, so tired.

The game starts at 7:00 p.m.

Su Yang estimated that at most 10,000 people participated, and the stadiums smaller than the Bucks' home court were not full, and the publicity effect was very poor.

According to the previous review summary meeting, the first time asked Quandu to play around Antetokounmpo, Su Yang gave a thumbs up, rubbed his chest with his thumb, and shouted "thumb    rub". Curry and others immediately landed in their positions and ran in various covers.

thumb     Rub is one of the Kings stacking loop tactics series. It mainly uses Cousins ​​and Antetokounmpo to cover the ball and catch the ball around the wing. The ideal situation is to get a shot directly, but the situation is generally not that smooth, and it often needs to connect to the subsequent rub. Antetokounmpo takes the opportunity to cover the camera, then turns around and catch the ball to the basket.

In between running positions, Antetokounmpo received the ball and dunked.

The generals jumped up and cheered on the King's bench.

Scattered applause rang out in the stadium one after another, and Mexican fans were not too excited, as if fans were watching Elva Hsiao and said hehe.

The Kings subsequent offense and defense were launched, and they crushed the Celtics with the advantage of the lineup, leading 32-17 in the first quarter.

Anji, the Celtics president who was traveling with, sat on the sidelines to watch the game, with a very depressed expression, like ten consecutive draws to the highest level reward, but that reward belongs to the most in the same level, such as Hearthstone O'Mill House, the ss-level O'Neal in the NBA2k Orange Card 08 version, and the worst five-star character Qiqi in Genshin Impact. It feels very worthwhile, but not worth it.

The performance of the main Celtic rookie Mudier made him feel helpless. If you want to say Mudier is not good, the breakthrough is very smooth, it looks like Allen Iverson. If you want to say Mudier is okay, you will see the statistics terrible, like Smarsh Parker.

Su Yang was a little hesitant for a moment.

Is it too cruel to bully the Celtics?

But if you think about it carefully, it is mainly aimed at Anji.

The second quarter started, with Thomas Jr. and Turner caught the Celtics and beat them up, and the Kings led by 22 points.

After halftime, there is no suspense in the game.

The fourth quarter turned into a pure exhibition match, with various three-pointers and dunks, and Mexican fans finally got excited and cheered loudly.

It's probably simple to play and you can understand every round.

There are also many goals, unlike before, who make mistakes or make irons.

Seeing this, Su Yang was finished and said that the league staff would definitely use those pictures to exaggerate the effect of overseas competitions.

After the whole game, the Kings won 124-97.

13 players in the team played, 7 of which scored in double digits, and Antetokounmpo scored the highest 24 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists.

After the game press conference, Su Yang praised Antetokounmpo and said: "Giannis will be a representative of overseas players in the future. He did not have much professional experience before entering the NBA and had no American university experience. I believe that players like him will also appear in Mexico, just like the former Mexican player Eduado Najura. We hope to communicate more with the Mexican professional team..."

The post-match interview was completed and there was a business banquet.

Su Yang decisively found a reason, saying that he might have contracted the flu and needed to self-isolate, and instead flew away with the team.

According to the schedule, the team flew to Houston nearby and prepared to challenge the Rockets away after a day off.

At noon the next day, Xiao Hua replied to Su Yang's email.

First, I thank Su Yang for making suggestions for the league's expansion, and pointed out that the overseas regular season belongs to the NBA ten-year plan and will not be changed easily. I also emphasized that big data statistics show that games with higher scores often have higher ratings, so it is correct to encourage offense.

In short, if you don’t listen or not, you have to cut down your defense, cooperate with the bookmaker, and gradually cancel the last two minutes of re-view...

As for restricting illegal transfers from stars, it seems not that exaggerated. I think Su Yang is thinking too much, and there are also topics to monopolize.

Su Yang was even speechless after reading the email.

I thought to myself: "It's time to learn from Sterling, gather some NBA bosses to fight against the president, and limit Xiao Hua to destroy the league ecology. Sterling and Stern were not trying to give benefits to players when they were confronted, but I am just, I seek benefits for the league!"

Make up your mind and take your execution slowly. At least you must first understand the intentions of those small teams and see how you can unite.

The next day, the Kings and the Rockets game started.

Howard has returned from injury and participated in the battle. The Rockets have also arranged for Capela to start at the same time, which is a bit of a double tower mode.

Su Yang predicts that the Rockets will have many double covers and arrange response strategies in advance, mainly to replace defenses in advance, and to boldly repair defenses on the weak side, and focus on limiting Harden. He achieved good results in the first quarter, helping the Kings lead the Rockets 34-23.

After returning from the second quarter, Harden took the initiative to adjust his playing style and continuously covered the running, trying to misplace Cousins ​​or Jokic. Cousins ​​and Jokic double-team Harden without hesitation according to Su Yang's pre-match arrangement. Anyway, the Rockets had double-teamed the inside and were difficult to score when Harden was double-teamed, and Beverly and Ariza also had corresponding rotations when they received the ball.

To put it bluntly, it is bullying the Rockets. Only Harden holds the ball on the outside and does not give Harden too many operational opportunities.

As the game was played, Curry turned around and used the help of cover to run the military training Capela and Howard, and succeeded repeatedly.

In the end, the Kings won 121-112, Curry scored 22 points and 19 assists. If it weren't for Jokic and Antetokounmpo's split 16, it would be very likely to reach 20, setting a new career record. On the Rockets, Harden scored 31 points and 9 assists.

The whole team flew to Oscar overnight.

Take a night off and challenge the Thunder without Durant.

Westbrook's personal offense was completely liberated, and the new head coach Donovan also fully supported it, and the fans cheered endlessly.

The other Thunder players naturally had no objection.

With that blessing, Westbrook got the triple-double and triple-double data in the first half, but the Kings rotated ten people and easily led by 19 points.

After the game, the Kings defeated the Thunder 125-98, achieving a four-game winning streak, and Antetokounmpo won 2515.

The whole team flew back to Sa City to prepare to fight against the Jazz.

As soon as Su Yang got off the plane, he received an email from Thunder boss Bennett, hinting that he was willing to work with Su Yang to make profits for the small ball market.
Chapter completed!
