Build a Dream Dynasty

With a shortened season and a tight schedule, the strength of the team's bench is particularly important. Whether the drinking fountains that usually don't see much playing time can play a role when needed will affect the team's performance. Right now, the Nets already have thirteen players, but there are only four insiders, West, Anderson, Lopez, and Baynes. The remaining places must be given priority to replenish insiders.

Because of Danny Fagan's wild asking price, Yi Jianlian was cold in the free agent market and couldn't get the contract he wanted. Even the teams that paid attention to him were only the Dallas Mavericks and Houston Rockets. It is below 2 million, and there is no guarantee of Yi Jianlian's playing time in the team. This time, Yi Jianlian is a little bit hard to get off.

Regret is certain. After all, Jiang Mingliang once offered him a lucrative contract, but he missed it. Now, he doesn't even have a contract that can reach half the amount. Yi Jianlian is a little embarrassed.

At this time, Yao Ming took the initiative to recruit the messenger between Jiang Mingliang and Yi Jianlian, and took the step of interrogating Yi Jianlian.

"Of course I welcome Ah Lian's return, but at most I will only offer a 1+1 contract with a basic salary and player options." Jiang Mingliang's reply was very straightforward. He is willing to give Yi Jianlian a chance, depending on whether Yi Jianlian is willing to accept him kindness.

The reason why he is only willing to pay the basic salary is not that Jiang Mingliang doesn't show affection, it's really that a manager must make clear rewards and punishments. Be it Danny Fagan or Yi Jianlian, they need to pay the due price for their high self-esteem.

Accepting this contract seems to be Yi Jianlian's best choice. After all, one thing is certain, as long as Jiang Mingliang is still the general manager of the Nets, as long as he still wants to improve the influence of the Nets in the Chinese market, he will not be able to completely give up Yi Jianlian, and Yi Jianlian will get the most ideal environment. Jiang Mingliang could see this, and Yao Ming could see it, but Yi Jianlian couldn't see it, or Fei Gen wouldn't let him see it.

1 year 1.9 million US dollars, Yi Jianlian finally chose the Dallas Mavericks. It's a beautiful name, learning and accumulating by Nowitzki's side, but, using Nowitzki as a template, is it really suitable for Yi Jianlian?

Yi Jianlian is not the only player who switched from the Nets to the Mavericks this summer. After the veteran Carter left the Nets, he also joined the Mavericks who lost too much blood after winning the finals. However, unlike Yi Jianlian who was introduced completely as a substitute, Carter was married back by the Mavericks at a high price of 16 million in 21 years, and the expectations of Mavericks fans are completely different.

Inevitably, the popularity of the Nets in China plummeted in an instant. T Bar, the number of fans lost on the forum exceeded 30%. Although Jeremy Lin is still there and Jiang Mingliang is also Chinese, it is inevitable that the number of fans will fall out of the top ten.

Without Huaxia players, without the feelings accumulated over the years, without superstar bonuses, there is naturally no way.

After confirming that he missed Yi Jianlian, Jiang Mingliang also continued to dig out the Taobao road suitable for the team's insiders. Soon, he found a player who seemed practical enough, Bryden Wright.

In his previous life, it was because Yi Jianlian could not compete with Wright in the Mavericks that he withdrew from the NBA stage. This is why Jiang Mingliang immediately remembered the name. The play styles of the two are also somewhat similar. They are both slender inside players. After entering the league, Wright developed a close-range jumper; The disadvantage is that the rebounding is relatively bad, and because of the bad confrontation, the low defensive ability is not strong.

The current four insiders of the Nets are all relatively slow-moving, mobile, and not strong in athletic ability. The addition of Wright can be regarded as a supplement to another style of insiders, and it is very suitable. For a 1+1 contract with a total of 3 million, the Nets signed Wright to solve a strong opponent for Yi Jianlian's Mavericks career.

. . . . . .

Because of the suspension for nearly two months, the preseason game was completely canceled, and the Christmas game and the opening game were combined into one. Before that, the team needs to use the short training time to run in the lineup. After all, this season, the lineups of each team have changed quite a lot.

As far as the Nets are concerned, the changes in Stevens' formation are obvious. The most surprising adjustment is that Leonard directly entered the starting lineup as a small forward, while George He needs to let go of the position he adapted to last season for a season and play shooting guard instead.

Judging from the training scene, the effect is not ideal. Leonard's shooting points on the outside are limited to two bottom corners. It is very easy to fall into the embarrassment of stopping the ball when defending inside. And George also played very uncomfortable because of the change of position.

At this time, even Jiang Mingliang, who supported Leonard, felt that he might have acted too hastily and backfired.

Even in the Spurs, Leonard played as a substitute for half a season before entering the starting lineup.

"Keller is unreliable in the playoffs. We have to understand this. It is very important to lose some results in the regular season, speed up the running-in of the lineup, and catalyze Kawhi's progress." Before Jiang Mingliang asked Stevens , West said Stevens' intentions, "Moreover, the team's opponents are not very strong at the start. If there is any situation, we can adjust it in time."

After several days of training, George's performance was not very good, and he also encountered criticism from Stevens. From Jiang Mingliang's point of view, George's poor performance may be due to the team's style of play. The change of the lineup made young people at a loss. But from Stevens' point of view, it's completely different. Judging from these few training sessions, it's not just that George doesn't adapt to the tactics and position. He probably spent half a year's vacation on fishing.

Fortunately, George also knows how to be ashamed and brave. After the training sessions of the past few days, he took the initiative to stay in the team to make up his homework. Accompanied by the trainer, he practiced the fadeaway jumper with the ball. The duration was about half an hour to an hour. between.

Leonard continued to maintain his habit of practicing 500 more three-pointers every day. Korver, who was removed from the main position, did not have any dissatisfaction. He took the initiative to teach him his shooting and running experience, which made Leonard Benefited a lot.

The harmonious relationship between the players is still good. Although the team's lineup has been further rejuvenated this season. But compared to last year, everyone has gained a lot of experience, the main lineup has not changed, and the tacit understanding has also improved. These will be reflected in the new season.

Prepare your troops and wait for the start of the new season. For the first game of the Nets, they need to go to Cleveland to challenge the Cavaliers led by No. 1 pick Kyrie Irving!
