stadium ambition

Chapter 87
In Su Yang's view, Sterling is a pure businessman. With such a big Chinese market behind him, Sterling can't be tempted. The case of the Rockets' value increase after acquiring Yao Ming is right in front of them, which is definitely an important bargaining chip.

Schwartz stared at the phone screen in a daze, and was about to type a reply when the staff pushed the door open.The two tacitly suspended their communication and started chatting with the staff. Neither of them mentioned a single word about the draft, as if they had reached a consensus.

After chatting for about 10 minutes, General Manager Dunleavy came in with his assistant, Ginell.

After a brief greeting, Schwartz was invited out of the room, and the trial training entered a separate interview session.

The first is the most basic self-introduction, which is mostly used to examine the player's ability to organize and express. Su Yang talked about his age and education, and briefly talked about why he wants to play basketball and some personal hobbies.

"OK, you just mentioned that you entered Stanford University because of your pure academic ability, not the addition of sports specialties. We are very interested in this. It's not that we don't believe you. We want to see with our own eyes how good you are. .”

After Chiner finished speaking, he took out a piece of A4 paper in the file bag and gently pushed it in front of Su Yang.

"There are three test questions here, divided into geometry, algebra and probability. I hope you can answer them. Considering that you have not completed your undergraduate studies and will spend a lot of time playing games, we choose middle school level test questions."

Hiner smiled all over his face: "Of course, you can choose to give up, this is not an essential part..."

Su Yang browsed quietly. The first question was to compare the two logarithmic sizes of log2_3 and log3_4.

"Comparing the intermediate numbers seems useless. The Taylor expansion does not seem to satisfy the conditions. You can try changing the base formula, or construct a new function..." Su Yang muttered softly, and found that this test question is a bit of a brain teaser routine.

After thinking about it, he found a simple way, and immediately started writing.

[Solution: first double the logarithms at the same time,
即2log2_3=log2_9＞log2_8
同理2log3_4= log3_16＜log3_27
因为log2_8=3，且log3_27=3，

So log2_9>log3_16
Finally, log2_3>log3_4]

Seeing Su Yang write the last stroke, Hiner nodded in satisfaction, while Dunleavy's eyes flashed disdain.

Su Yang noticed Deng Lewei's expression, and understood why the other party had this reaction, because whether he can play basketball well has nothing to do with whether he can do math problems. At most, it can only prove that he has enough IQ to understand complex tactics.

After finishing the algebra problem, it is the turn of the geometry problem.

The content is to calculate the volume based on the data given from the three angles of front, side and top view.

It is mainly to examine the ability to restore three-dimensional space graphics. Su Yang recognized it as a wet quadrangular prism with a right-angled trapezoid at the bottom. He first calculated the area of ​​the bottom, then multiplied it by the height, and wrote the answer in only 30 seconds without even drawing a picture. .

Signer showed surprise, then smiled and said, "You answered correctly, now there are only logical questions left."

Su Yang looked at the title, which said: There is a drunkard who has a 90% probability of going out to drink every night, and if he goes out to drink, the probability of going to three different pubs is exactly the same.Tonight, the police want to find this alcoholic, but they have searched two taverns but have not found it. So, what is the probability that the alcoholic is at home?

Su Yang really wanted to make a joke, so he answered 50% directly, anyway, he was either there or he wasn't.

But this kind of similar problem has been practiced before. The core of the problem is that after excluding two pubs, the total sample size changes, so it is no longer the original 10%, but 10%/(10%+30%)=25% .

It still takes less than 30 seconds to give the answer, and it has a problem-solving idea, highlighting an efficient one.

Hiner gave a thumbs up: "You Chinese are really good at mathematics!"

"I used to be the last one in the exam in the class, and my grades were so bad that I had to stay, so it's nothing!" Su Yang was very annoyed by this stereotyped image, so he just made a joke, except that he would still 'get hair' 'Three great Tai Chi tricks.

Chinell was petrified on the spot, so he was the last one, so how good are the others?
"You must be lying to me! Let's continue, here are some quick questions and answers!"

Su Yang raised his hand to indicate that the preparations were complete, and Ginell coughed twice and asked, "Why don't you like to grab rebounds? We noticed that you averaged less than four rebounds per game in your two seasons in college. Is there any special reason? ?”

"No, I like to grab rebounds, but I'm not a data maniac. Centers and forwards are more suitable than me, but when necessary, I will also fight for them. In addition, I believe that less non-essential rebounds help maintain health. .”

"Why does it help keep you healthy?"

"Because there will be fewer unnecessary confrontations."

"Then are you afraid of confrontation?"

"I am not afraid of any confrontation, I just hope to reduce unnecessary confrontation."

Dunleavy suddenly interjected: "I think maintaining confrontation at all times will bring more pressure to the opponent, and the playoffs are a game of maintaining confrontation throughout. If you have that kind of thinking, it will definitely have a negative impact on you."

Su Yang didn't want to keep picking words, shrugged and said: "Perhaps, the times are changing."

Dunleavy was very dissatisfied with this answer, curled his lips unabashedly, and shook his head slightly.

The atmosphere was suddenly a little awkward, and Hiner hurriedly asked, "Do you like cocktails or whiskey at the bar?"

"I don't go to bars, I don't drink cocktails and whiskey, I just drink pineapple beer."

"What is pineapple beer?"

"This can't be explained for a while, so you can treat it as a drink like Coca-Cola."

"OK, do you prefer Durex or Okamoto when having sex?"

"I'm a virgin."

"Okay, last question, have you had any conflicts with the coach?"

"Anyway, I don't think there is any. At most, there are different opinions on the tactical layout, which is not a contradiction."

After the quick questions and quick answers, Dunleavy began to explain the Clippers related team building.

After a lot of ramblings, I finally talked about the draft issue, but it was "We will seriously consider using the No. 1 pick to select you, but you should also know that it involves a lot of complicated work, so I can't make a commitment." '

Su Yang expressed his understanding, and Hiner cooperated with him to say some scene words, and the interview session came to an end.

Su Yang walked out of the room and left the Clippers training base with Schwartz who had been waiting for a long time.

The next workout was scheduled three days later, and Schwartz drove him to Irvine, where the two communicated.

Schwartz was a little worried about the plan of directly contacting Clippers owner Sterling. He said that as a rookie, it was a bit ostentatious and threatened the power of managers invisibly. He might be boycotted and hoped to consider it carefully.

Su Yang emphasized that there is no need to worry, personal strength is the key, and not every team will directly contact the owner, and the Clippers is a special case, because the old Deng Levy himself does not have full power, and Sterling has already intervened in the case.

The two discussed in detail, and Schwartz finally agreed to the plan, and then talked about whether to cancel the trial training with the Grizzlies.

Because the small place of the Grizzlies is really unpleasant, the European golden boy Rubio has already declined the invitation, and the talented shooter Stephen Curry has also made it clear that he will not go. Among the current hottest rookies, only Su Yang and Harden are willing to participate.

The plan to go to the Grizzlies for trial training was decided before signing Schwartz. Su Yang didn't think too much at the time, and later felt that it was inappropriate. Schwartz just proposed to analyze the pros and cons, so he decided to cancel the plan. The reason is that it is too tired.

Schwartz also proposed to use the media to build momentum and use the support of fans to increase weight. The selling point is to focus on high-IQ and epoch-making players. The superb skills and explosive physical fitness are only used as supplementary materials. The slogan is "End the era of insiders."

Su Yang thinks it is feasible. This kind of concept stock play is really fierce, even if it is unsuccessful, it can still earn traffic.

The two immediately discussed how to promote it, and they arrived in Irvine without knowing it.

At the time of parting, Schwartz hesitated for a few times, and finally said that he believed that the biggest reason why Deng Levy didn't like Su Yang was because he was afraid of disobeying orders. After all, Su Yang's blatant violation of tactical arrangements in the Nike Challenge was widely known.

And Dunleavy was challenged by Baron Davis once last season, and his status in the team is at stake.

The solution is also very simple, that is to tell Dunleavy clearly that he will strictly follow the command.

Su Yang didn't think much about it, and clearly refused, saying that he could play under Dunleavy and was willing to play under Dunleavy, but if Dunleavy's various tactical arrangements were still the same as before, he would definitely object.

Schwartz suggested that you can pretend first, and do whatever you want later, and you can even ask for a change of coach.

Su Yang felt that this approach violated his personal principles, and he needed to think about it more, so he didn't immediately agree.

Back at the residence, Zheng Xiang was watching TV in the living room, it was still the domestic classic "Conquer"

Su Yang sat next to him, chatting about the trial training situation, and logged on to Twitter to browse the news.

Schwartz has released part of the physical test data. Although it did not cause much discussion, it also dispelled many people's doubts about Su Yang. There are also some positive comments. They think that Su Yang may perform better than Rose in his first year as a rookie. .

The news of the 5-1 victory over Davis singled out was also spread, but most fans reacted flatly. Many commented that Davis had gone downhill, and did not know that the sharp drop in Davis's score was due to a sharp drop in tactical status.

ESPN also released a video interview. When asked how to evaluate Griffin and Su Yang, Dunleavy used Malone and Stockton as examples, but fans who left comments pointed out that Su Yang's template should be Kidd + Nash.

"It seems that there are still fans who understand football..."

Faced with such bragging, Su Yang didn't think it was exaggerated at all. It wasn't until he saw someone saying that he had no attack + no defense, and finally became no attack and no defense, that he felt that the matter was not that simple. It was better to praise Big O Robertson.

Just as he was thinking, the phone rang suddenly, and the caller ID was Schwartz.

Su Yang picked it up casually, and a slightly excited voice came from the other end of the phone: "My friend in the Thunder told me just now that they plan to take the No. The Bears traded the No. 25 pick and picked you!"

Hearing this, Su Yang searched on Google and found that besides the No. 3 pick, the Thunder really has a No. 25 pick. Next year, there will be a first-rounder with its own, and a first-round trade from the Supersonic Era and the Suns. It does have room for manipulation .

"My mother, do you want to form the Thunder Fourth Young Master?" Su Yang subconsciously shouted.

"What Thunder Fourth Young Master?" Zheng Xiang was full of doubts. "By the way, you said this Liu Huaqiang, why did you kill the boss who sells watermelons? It seems that he didn't offend him?"
