Build a Dream Dynasty

"So far, the Nets' offensive and defensive balance has been very good. Regarding this, how did you do it?" Liu Jia continued to ask.

"In fact, I have made certain trade-offs in this regard. Every player has his own strengths and weaknesses. We have players who are very offensive threats in our lineup. Teammates create opportunities. There are also some players who pay a lot on the defensive end. Their performance may not be observed by everyone, but they are equally precious to us. In fact, when building the lineup, Issac and I did a lot of work. His credit is no less than mine."

"How about Yi Jianlian? In the new season, he will play more as a substitute?" Interviewing the Nets, I want to mention Yi Jianlian anyway.

"Yi is a very hard-working player. There are five insiders in our team, and each of them has their own characteristics. Yi Jianlian is the best insider in the team in terms of mobility, which is extremely effective when defending pick-and-rolls. In addition He also has high strategic value for the inside line with strong mobility, and he will have the opportunity to show it."

Among all the NBA players, coaches or others interviewed by CCTV, Stevens is probably the one who speaks the most meticulously. He even mentioned the advantages and uses, which is a frankness that has never been seen before.

Then, Liu Jia raised several questions that Huaxia fans were very concerned about, and Stevens and Jiang Mingliang also answered them one by one. This time the interview ended in a peaceful atmosphere.

"Thank you." On the way to the press conference hall, Jiang Mingliang thanked Stevens, "The Huaxia market is extremely important to me, so..."

"I see."

. . . . . .

Although the game was won smoothly, the conflict between the Nets and the Rockets on the field is not so easy for the league. After the incident at the Palace of Auburn Hills, the league became more urgent about the fight in the arena. George really pushed Ariza hard, and additional punishment after the game is inevitable. Sure enough, a day later, the Nets and Rockets received tickets issued by the league respectively.

"The Rockets Ariza was banned for two games and fined $10,000 for malicious injuries. Jordan Hill was fined $5,000 for rushing into the field as a substitute. George of the Nets retaliated by pushing people and was banned for one game and fined $5,000. , a substitute player on the court, Trenzio Williams, was fined $5,000."

Of course, during the conflict on the field, almost all the players of the Rockets and the Nets were on the field, and the league only punished these four players, which was considered to be raised high and slightly lowered.

"Will, appeal to the league. It's obvious that the Rockets were the first to do something wrong. Why should we punish us?" Jiang Mingliang ordered Will Craig.

"I'm afraid it's useless, Issac! There are so many unjust, false and wrongly decided cases in the alliance. How can anyone reverse the case? Wouldn't it be over when you come back for compensation next time? Besides, if you really don't seek compensation, there is nothing you can do." Speaking of injustice, who can be wronged by the king of the year, and then, has it been compensated?

"This is just to show an attitude and let the people in the league do something. In addition, the team should bear the fine. Don't make it difficult for the two players." When the boss stands up, he must stand up Well, if the team deducts players' money because of this, who would dare to work for the team in the future?

Jiang Mingliang handled this matter openly, not to mention paying the ticket for the players, which is also an encouragement to the morale of the team. After losing to the Eagles in the game where George was banned, he won five consecutive victories in one go.

On November 24, the Nets beat the Hawks 117:99 away.

On November 25, the Nets beat the Timberwolves 109:92 at home.

On November 28, the Nets beat the Cavaliers 121:97 away.

On November 30, the Nets beat the Pacers 106:87 at home.

On December 1, the Nets defeated the Philadelphia 76ers in an away game.

After the first full month of the schedule, the Nets ranked fourth in the East with a score of 9 wins and 5 losses, a result that far exceeded expectations.

I am afraid that no matter how optimistic the Nets fans are, the most ideal result is that the Nets rank among the top eight in the Eastern Conference. After all, the strength of the team lies here. There is no All-Star player, and the biggest player, Paul George, is just the third player on the rookie list.

And that is, at the end of November, there have been rumors that the conflict between Anthony and the Nuggets who will go to the New York Knicks became public.

"Yahoo Sports" insider Adrian Wojnarowski revealed that a few days ago, the Nuggets' young owner Josh Kroenko personally came forward to persuade Anthony to stay and did not achieve results. He reiterated his determination to leave the team. The Nuggets executives are ready to give up on retaining Anthony, and they will seriously consider the general idea of ​​​​trading Anthony next. What kind of transaction return to prepare for, which month to choose to trade, and which team to trade with, these all need to be carefully considered. The only thing that is certain is that Anthony will no longer belong to Denver. There is also reliable news that the Nuggets are going to send Kenyon Martin and J.R. Smith away together for a complete rebuild. The Nuggets have a clear idea of ​​trading, that is, they hope to get young players with potential and future draft picks. Where Anthony goes needs to consider the development of his wife Lala. As an entertainment star, of course I hope to work and live in big cities like New York and Los Angeles. At this point, the Nets, Clippers, and Knicks have the greatest possibility. The Nets have 10 players under the age of 27 to choose from, and the trade to get Anthony is of great help to the team. The Clippers are unwilling to trade Griffin, which will make it difficult to continue the negotiations. The Knicks' chips cannot meet the needs of the Nuggets, and the trade will be difficult. In addition to these four teams, the Rockets, Warriors and Bobcats are also Anthony's potential next home. Bobcats are expected to be dark horses, because Anthony is wearing Jordan shoes, and they can provide good bargaining chips.

In the previous life, the Nets kneeled and licked Anthony's eating appearance, which can be said to be very ugly. However, the thinking of building the team was chaotic, and the record was terrible. Naturally, they did not get Anthony's favor. But now, with good management, good coaches and full of talent, Anthony can see himself joining this young team. On the one hand, he can be the boss and lead the younger players to play, and on the other hand, he can improve the team as the young players progress. His strength helped him get close to the championship, and naturally he also winked at the Nets.

As for the Nets, Jiang Mingliang and Stevens never considered the possibility of a trade.

The 26-year-old top 10 player in the league has a gorgeous style of play and a pleasing style of play. To put it bluntly, in terms of transaction value, few people in the league are higher than Anthony. If anyone wants to change him, it's no wonder the Nuggets don't lose half of his skin!

Take the Nets as an example, the three starters who still have rookie contracts, Bledsoe, George, and Lopez at least two, Korver will definitely have to get a high-quality contract, and the future picks will be at least More than two have to be included, and this is probably not enough. In addition to adding high-quality contracts, you have to help the Nuggets take over a few junk contracts.

Doesn't that equate to turning the New Jersey Nets into the New Jersey Nuggets? Satisfying the expectations of the Nuggets players to leave the Northwest Plateau and go to the big cities to spend time and drink, and sacrifice the future of the Nets, why bother?
