On the morning of the 18th, Su Yang rushed to the Key Stadium.

According to the plan, he first went to Presti to take a quick look in the stadium, took a look at the history and culture of the Supersonics team, then signed a contract with the camera, officially became the head coach, and then met with various departments.

After completing the process, he closed the door and talked in detail with Presti, mainly about the preparation and construction of the teaching assistant team.

Former head coach PJ Carlesimo has four assistant coaches, namely Paul Westwood, Scott Brooks, Mark Bryant, and Ralph Lewis. They belong to one elderly person and three middle-aged people.

Su Yang suggested dismissing the old man Westwood, mainly because he was nearly 70 years old and it was difficult to keep up with the pace.

As for the other three assistants, they don’t need to make much contribution to staying or leaving.

Presti accepted the request greatly reduces the workload, so he took the initiative to ask who to replace it.

Su Yang bluntly stated that he wanted to get the Spurs' wool, and he took a fancy to the Austin coach of the Spurs' team, Quinn Snyder, and hoped that Presti would complete the interview application as soon as possible. If necessary, he would fly to St. Anthony to invite him.

He plans to let Snyder serve as the chief assistant coach, be responsible for singing bad faces, and focus on training and discipline to establish new styles.

He himself is responsible for singing red faces, telling jokes to make the team members happy, sprinkling chicken soup, and formulating tactics.

It’s not that he wants to take advantage of it, but he is younger than some players and is more suitable to play the role of a good brother.

Presti agreed to his request for the ball, which clearly trusted the coach produced by the Spurs very much.

In addition to Quinn Snyder, Su Yang also proposed to invite Phil Handy as the team's chief trainer and allow Phil Handy to freely form a training team, but that would require firing the existing training team and paying a large salary.

Presti said he would need to calculate carefully, because every penny in the small ball market is very tight and it would be quite troublesome.

Su Yang expressed his understanding that Supersonics and the future Thunder, the first boss Clayton, Bennett was too stingy, and many operations of Presty were restricted, but he was preparing to find an opportunity to talk to Clayton to solve the money problem.

After deciding on matters related to teaching assistants, Su Yang followed the plan and held a press conference with Presti.

Supersonics new boss Clayton Bennett attended the event, and Durant and Green also attended the audience to watch.

Perhaps he was particularly interested in a young head coach like Su Yang. In addition, Su Yang had many amazing words in the past. The number of media coming to attend the press conference was as many as fifty, with long guns and short cannons filling the conference hall.

Su Yang walked to the stage and sat down. He lowered his head and saw the microphone that was already full. In a trance, he wanted to sing an exaggeration song.

Various photos were being taken, and it took more than ten seconds before Presti raised his hand to signal and began the introduction.

"Today I am very happy to announce that Su Yang has officially become the team's head coach. In the past season, he has helped the Trail Blazers improve from the bottom record to the Western Conference Finals, which fully meets our various requirements for the new head coach. He has outstanding achievements in building a tactical system and helped the Trail Blazers achieve the first place in the league in scoring per game..."

After Presti finished speaking, Su Yang took over the conversation: "I am honored to have such an opportunity to join the Supersonics family, which is a team full of potential. I will do my best to help young players fully utilize their talents, help veterans fully achieve their goals, lead this team well, re-emerge on the NBA Finals stage, and regain the glory of the past."

Su Yang first provides the veteran players with the bottom line: As long as you follow my command, you will be able to use data to earn a big contract.

After the words came to an end, ESPN reporter followed the staff's guidance and first asked the boss Kaleiton.

The question was very good. I asked Clayton what he said about Su Yang. The official standard answer was to praise him.

"I like him so much!"

Clayton's smile filled his face, and his eyes seemed to be filled with money. "He is a young man with great talent and execution. The achievements he has created before do not need to be repeated, and can also bring us a huge Chinese market.

Just yesterday, after the team officially announced that he would be the head coach, we received a large number of corporate invitations…”

Clayton said and laughed, his face almost burst out with laughter. Su Yang saw it and knew that he didn't have to worry about money anymore.

"Anyway, I believe he will make the team very successful, and I hope tomorrow is the new season!"

Clayton looked at Su Yang with a smile, as if saying: I'm waiting to become the second Rocket Alexander.

Su Yang responded with a smile, and the TNT reporter immediately asked him: "Can you make the playoffs next year?"

"To be honest, the playoffs are not my goal, nor are they the team's goal, and they are not very useful to the players..."

Su Yang shrugged slightly, "My personal goal is to train Kevin Durant to become the scoring champion, and to be selected as the All-Star, and to train us to choose a player this year to become the best rookie. That is much more important than entering the playoffs."

"Wow..." Suddenly burst into exclamation in the conference hall, and the reporters showed excitement, big news.

Let Durant become the scoring champion and All-Star, and also make the rookie the best rookie, and have both fish and bear's paws.

That is much harder than entering the playoffs. After all, you only need to win the playoffs and rely more on the team.

The discussion flew in the conference hall, Durant, who was watching, was full of excitement and wanted to shout loudly several times.

"Of course, I also want to let everyone see Jeff Green's true strength. He is an all-round player. I want to help him become Scott Pippen, who has stronger scoring skills. I don't think you two will refuse, right?"

After Su Yang finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Durant and Jeff Green in the audience, and the two nodded repeatedly.

The camera quickly recorded such a scene, and cheers filled the conference hall and the atmosphere exploded.

When everyone calmed down, the reporter asked Su Yang what tactical system he would play in the new season.

"I will gradually adapt the team to the dynamic offensive system and develop in several common starting styles, but the specific way to play is decided by the players based on the defensive situation. I will focus on training and critical moments."

"Are you learning from the lessons of Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle?" the reporter asked with a smile.

Su Yang chuckled, knowing that the reporter was talking about Rick Carlisle and Kidd having a conflict some time ago. At that time, Kidd complained that Carlisle called tactics too frequently during training, and even shouted at fast attacks, because he had to control himself too much.

"No, the team is suitable for playing whatever it is, such as European pick-and-roll offense, which is very suitable for Durant..."

Su Yang explained that Durant, who was watching from the audience, looked bright and wished he could train immediately.

The reporters asked questions one after another, and Su Yang answered one by one, and the press conference ended in a pleasant atmosphere.

After stepping down, he pulled Durant and Green and followed the staff to take promotional photos.

After the filming, the three of them ran to the stadium, shooting and playing around while talking about the new tactical system.

At noon, the three of them ate something casually in the restaurant to replenish their energy, and the relationship quickly went forward to the point where they were inseparable.

Presty joined the team halfway and said she had contacted Quinn Snyder for an interview and invited Phil Handy to serve as the team's trainer to easily complete the task. If everything goes well, the two can catch up with the summer league.

"Then prepare to go to the draft to welcome Awei..."
