Build a Dream Dynasty

Chapter 676 The King of the North

Thibodeau's teams usually don't give up easily, which is one of the advantages of this coach's iron fist. Of course, sometimes it will turn into a disadvantage. For example, when you are behind by a big score and there is no hope, you insist on playing the main force. Although the score is better, the loss of the main force is really great. In addition, his team rotation is generally short because of this.

In the third quarter of the game, Thibodeau decisively started to kill the main force, and used Rose, Parker, and Gasol to take turns, regardless of inefficiency and efficiency, just swing. This kind of effect is actually not bad. The players play resolutely and their thinking is very clear. The biggest problem for the Nets now is the lack of offensive starting points. A Curry and a green who is not threatening beyond the three-point line are their offensive starting points. As the offensive end point, Boshen's performance is not very stable. On the offensive end, most of the pressure was concentrated on Curry, and the 15-point lead also allowed the Nets to consciously preserve Curry's physical fitness. , Taylor Johnson and Aminu are not players who run and shoot, and the referee is a little bit biased for the suspense of the game. The Bulls narrowed the point difference little by little.

It is really disgusting to say that the lineup is not thick enough. After all, after the Nets reimbursed Leonard and Lopez, the two main players, JR was also absent in this game due to injury. The team's top five offensive points, except for Curry, only Porzingis is there. In this case, 90% of the teams can basically go to the bottom. But there is no way, who made the Nets the defending champion last season? Who made Jiang Mingliang dismantle the championship lineup just now?

In a game that will surely go down in history because of its special significance, both Parker and Rose played brilliantly. The two made breakthroughs like wolves and tigers to score goals, or freeze the time, and went to the free throw line. They took a 35:24 lead in a single quarter, narrowing the point difference to only 4 points.

When the game came to the fourth quarter, Thibodeau still kept the main lineup on the court, Parker was still vigorous, but Rose was faintly exhausted.

After all, it is a body that has suffered two serious injuries in succession, and its endurance is definitely not as good as that of a young man. But his physical strength can't keep up, but Rose refuses to accept his old age. He should hit the ball on his own, which is a bit of a pitfall.

At least at this stage, no one can change Rose. In the minds of Bulls fans, Rose is still a child of Chicago, no matter how bad he is, he brought the best memories to Chicago, and he is also the person who pinned their hopes the most after the great No. 23. Jabari Parker wants to replace his low post unless he leads the team to a championship.

On the defensive end, Rose was undercover, and on the offensive end, the Bulls' physical strength began to have problems. The decline in physical strength will inevitably lead to a loss of concentration. Bigger than 10 points.

In addition to the ball conflict between Rose and Parker, it is also a fact that Gasol and Noah are not suitable as inside partners. In fact, any of these two partners with Gibson is a good choice, but Thibodeau does have people who are rigid. The problem, until the point difference was widened, did not react and make adjustments, obviously it was too late.

Knowing Jiang Mingliang's emphasis on this game, Curry's performance in this game was very active. With the Bulls focusing on his shooting, he strengthened his breakthrough after the pick-and-roll, and made frequent contributions, leading the team to 128. :117 to win the London game, winning a historic game.

After the game, the Nets players also waved to the European fans in the audience. Thanking the fans is also the tradition of European teams after the game. Compared with the Bulls, the Nets also did a better job in etiquette. Received applause from the fans at the scene.

Superficially, he did a good job, but after coming to Europe in person, Jiang Mingliang gave up the idea of ​​developing the European market in principle. In principle, China and China are still the focus of the Nets' development.

After all, there is a ratio of gain and loss in everything. High investment and low output are indeed unnecessary for a shrewd person like Jiang Mingliang.

However, after dealing with the matter of the Nets, it does not mean that Jiang Mingliang can return to the United States immediately. Inter Milan received a generous offer from Manchester United. For the team's main center Higuain, Manchester United offered 50 million pounds. The price, equivalent to more than 58 million euros, is nearly 50% higher than the introduction of Higuain by Inter Milan.

This offer is not too high, but it is already a suitable offer for a 28-year-old player. Moreover, Inter Milan has many attackers at this stage, especially Martial, a potential rookie who scored 6 goals in limited playing time in the first half of the season. His performance is quite good, and his abilities are quite comprehensive. The team has a suitable team. The candidate also made Rangnick subjectively willing to consider selling Higuain for cash.

After waiting for Rangnick in London, Jiang Mingliang and Rangnick went to Manchester together to meet with the Manchester United team.

"Mr. Jiang, this is Steven, the receptionist of Manchester United Club, let's get in the car!"

"Hello, let's go." Jiang Mingliang and Steven got into the car after shaking hands.

Ferguson, who single-handedly created the Red Dynasty, officially announced his retirement, and Manchester United immediately fell into turmoil. His successor Moyes led the team to only rank seventh in the league in the first year and missed the Champions League. Because of this, the owner of the team, the Glazer family, finally decided to open the money bag and bring big-name stars to the team. Mata, Fellaini, Depay, Di Maria, Manchester United in the post-Ferguson era have spent more than 150 million pounds in the transfer market, but the team is still far from the first post-Ferguson championship. , the team needs a strong shooter to help the team break through the city, and Higuain, who has an outstanding performance in Inter Milan, is a very suitable candidate.

Jiang Mingliang, who is also an American capital like the Glazer family, received courtesy from the top management of the Manchester United club. The general manager of the team, Ed Woodward, waited in person at the gate of the club, which showed Jiang Mingliang's card.

Ed Woodward, dubbed the "Three Virtues" by Manchester United fans, is also a genius in business development. Manchester United has fully exploited its commercial value in his hands. It can be said that large and small sponsorships are armed to the teeth. As far as the skill of helping the boss collect money, he is definitely good at it.

After the greetings were over, Jiang Mingliang first said: "We have received the offer from Manchester United. Frankly speaking, Inter Milan needs to raise funds for the new stadium. Neymar has left. We do accept the fact that Higuain has left, but We hope to add a deal condition."

"What condition?" San Dezi asked strangely.

"We want to add Robin van Persie to the deal."

As a top center forward, Van Persie is only less than four years older than Higuain, and he was still the absolute hero of Manchester United in the 1213 season. However, in this position, the decline is still obvious at the age of age, especially in the Premier League, which is very physical. In comparison, veteran Paradise Serie A is still very suitable for the 32-year-old Van Persie.

Another reason why Rangnick is willing to make this deal is that compared to Higuain's shooter attributes, Van Persie is much better in versatility. For Inter Milan, which has many young players, he can bring more mentor attributes and can also free up more playing time for Martial.

With Wayne Rooney in the team and the introduction of Higuain, it seems that the team really doesn't need Van Persie much. And the latter's after-tax annual salary of up to 8 million euros will be a big burden for Manchester United if he sits on the bench. This deal seems to be really a win-win situation.

55 million euros plus Van Persie's exchange for Higuain, the two clubs have reached a deal. Higuain can come to Manchester United to enjoy a higher salary, and Van Persie can play in the slower-paced Serie A, which is also a good thing for the two players.

Jiang Mingliang and Rangnick soon reached a personal agreement with Van Persie. The two parties reached a 3+1 contract. Although Van Persie had a slight salary cut, the contract period was extended by 1-2 years, and the amount received increased.

Manchester United and Inter Milan announced this deal on their official websites, which is also a bit surprising. Jiang Mingliang's Inter Milan seems to have never had the habit of giving high salaries to veterans. There is only one veteran in the team, Captain Zanetti, and all the others have left the team. Van Persie was able to get a 3+1 contract, which was unexpected.

And Higuain also got a contract with a weekly salary of 240,000 pounds from Manchester United. Looking at the entire Premier League, apart from Rooney, he is the highest.

. . . . . . .

After returning to New York, the Nets will have another two days of rest time. Then you need to pay the price for participating in the European competition, ushering in a devil's schedule of 8 days and 6 games. It will be a test for the team's bench depth. Fortunately, except for Leonard and Lopez who were reimbursed for the season, the rest of the team remained healthy. JR Smith also announced his comeback after a week of recuperation, which also gave the Nets a lot of confidence .

After leaving for a while, Jiang Mingliang, Thomas, and Will Craig continued to try to strengthen the team's lineup through transactions.

Trail Blazers backup guard Will Barton entered the sights of the Nets. This shooting guard is a typical chaotic master. He has a good impact and a certain scoring ability. His shooting is not stable, but he dares to shoot. It's just that there are two players in the Trail Blazers, Matthews and Pope. It is difficult for him to have a chance to perform because of his inefficient style of play. And there is a shortage of manpower at the small forward position of the team. Crowe De is clearly a suitable addition.

The general manager of the Trail Blazers, Olshey, took the initiative to apply for a trade. At the same time, Jiang Mingliang, who needed to add chips to negotiate another deal, made the deal after blackmailing a second-round pick.

There is one more option at the second position that can conflict, which is not a bad result for the Nets. And Will Barton is also very happy about this deal, the Nets still give role players room to play. As for the small forward position, veteran Carter can still push this position.

Before the Nets fans could react, Jiang Mingliang completed the second transaction. The team sent Bertans, the Trail Blazers' second-round pick, and traded Covington and Terrence Jones from the Rockets.

Jr Smith, Will Barton, Carter, Aminu, Covington, the team's wing position immediately became abundant, but the ensuing change was that the inside line was further weakened. Fortunately, Covington also has the ability to top the power forward position, and the team is indeed more flexible in manpower deployment.

The team's opponent in the first game after the overseas game is the Toronto Raptors. After the Raptors ushered in Dwight Howard, their performance stabilized at fifth in the Eastern Conference. Lowry and DeRozan still have relatively high emotional intelligence in front of Howard, and the offensive end is also willing to create opportunities for Howard to play more singles. Howard's offense is high, and the defensive end is working hard, and the offensive end is willing to pull out more pick-and-rolls from time to time.

Facing the "weak" Nets inside, the Raptors still have a chance to take advantage of the inside.

At the beginning of the game, the Raptors first followed the team's usual style of play, starting from defense, waiting for offense, and dealing with the Nets.

The idea of ​​​​this team's reconstruction is first of all to defend. Casey did not pursue talent without thinking, but paid more attention to practicality. This allowed them to win a place in the east where the overall strength is relatively weak, relying on their discipline and rationality. However, it is still difficult for a team that lacks superstars to break through the upper limit. This is why they sacrificed their inside potential stocks in exchange for Howard.

JR, who returned from injury, showed a good start. After the successful recovery of the Nets, the current JR may not be the JR with the strongest personal ability, but his shortcomings of inconsistent performance have been improved to a certain extent. In recent games, he has output of more than 16 points.

JR's offensive performance is very good, and the defensive end is still working hard, but against DeRozan, who also has a hot start, he can't defend his opponent. DeRozan has a physical advantage over most opponents in the second position, and his mid-range shot is unique in today's league. Even Durant doesn't choose to use the mid-range to end the offense as frequently as he does. For the current defensive strategy of the Nets, his characteristics just hit the blind spot.

Facing the obvious gap in strength and lack of confrontation with Porzingis, Howard's inside offense also achieved a good hit rate. In the last match, Howard was still on the Mavericks, and Porzingis was used as a pawn in the "shark-cutting tactic" to top people and cut people.

Boshen's offensive end does have some kaleidoscope attributes, and the defensive end relies on his height and wingspan to help defend, and the coverage is not bad. But it is really embarrassing for him to top these muscle lists.
