Build a Dream Dynasty

For a team that is not so strong but has expectations for the season, the happiest thing is that they face a continuous wave of tank opponents, and their direct competitors have a less friendly schedule. Just like the Eagles, after the lead was narrowed to one game by the Nets, the opponents in the next five games were the Jazz, the Pistons, the Bobcats, the Timberwolves, and the Wizards. Counting the back, they gnawed the "hard bone" of the 76ers. , The Eagles, who have won six consecutive victories in one breath, not only widened the winning gap with the Nets, but also approached the fourth position of the Magic in the Eastern Conference.

In the same period, the opponents of the Nets are the Heat, Wizards, Nuggets, Knicks, Kings, Warriors, three wins and three losses (36-31) The results can only be said to be quite satisfactory. But seeing the win gap widened by the Eagles to 4 games, the original hope of competing for the fifth is almost dashed. What is even more tragic is that seeing the Bulls in the East, the Heat and the Celtics are ranked second. Three, New York's rivals, the Nets and the Knicks, are now competing for the sixth, which is to pick an opponent from the Celtics and the Heat.

Of course, if you want to say that the team is shameless, you can deliberately lose and drop to the eighth to touch the seemingly flawed Bulls, but Jiang Mingliang does not want the team to do this. For the Nets this season, it has been successful enough in terms of management, performance and player growth. On the field, hone your colleagues, and identify the gap with the strong team.

The target of the draft is set for Leonard, and there is a clear candidate for the reinforcement of the power forward position in the offseason. Due to league regulations, the Nets are not allowed to have direct contact with the players, but through the players' agents, Jerry West has already obtained the players' prices for the next contract. Jiang Mingliang, West, Stie Vince negotiated and agreed that there was no problem and he could be satisfied. As long as there is no bulls like the bulls, who have been burning too much money, open contracts and grab people, the Nets are very hopeful to win players.

Next season is when the Nets officially declare war on the Heat, Celtics, and Bulls!

The goal is in the future. Jiang Mingliang and West are quite open to it. In the next game, Stevens also plans to give young people more opportunities to perform, including Whiteside will also get more playing time. . However, the derby opponent Knicks can be really depressed. For Anthony, the Knicks not only ate Billups' contract, but also overdrafted the team's future. The difference between the sixth and seventh in the East is of little significance to them, and the first round tour with a high probability is even more intolerable. Although in terms of paper strength, the Knicks are slightly disadvantaged against the Heat, but they may not have to fight against the Celtics, but the running-in and experience are also the key to determining the outcome, including head coach D'Antoni. lack of confidence.

Of course, there is still a way for the Knicks to strategically give up some games in the next game to see if the team is likely to slip to the eighth place in the East to fight the Bulls. The advantage of this approach is that, firstly, Anthony, Stoudemire, and Billups can get enough rest time to reserve energy to prepare for the playoffs. Second, compared with the Celtics, the Heat are stronger. The Knicks have at least one fight against the Bulls. Of course, the downside is that doing this is equivalent to watching the Nets sit firmly in sixth place. If they fail to fall, they will face off against the Miami Heat.

How to choose depends on the game between D'Antoni and boss Dolan.

As the progress of labor-management negotiations continues to spread negative news, the future of the NBA has entered an uncertain period. Under this circumstance, many popular rookies have derived the idea of ​​delaying their entry into the NBA and playing in the NCAA for another year.

The top three pick Perry Jones was the first to announce on Twitter that he would stay at Baylor University for a year and postpone his plan to enter the NBA. One stone caused a thousand waves. Soon, another popular candidate, North Harrison Barnes of the University of California also announced that he will be in the NCAA for another year and is not in a hurry to enter the NBA.

The successive statements of the two rising stars gave even more negative information to the already deadlocked labor-management negotiations. For the few teams that have chosen to be rotten this season, there is still hope to obtain better potential stocks. Now, all the hot new stars have run away, and they still don't fight to the death with the players' union representing the labor force?

As for the lost ticket money and broadcast fees, huh, even if the milk of the capitalists is poured into the river, it will not be distributed to the poor.

The salary space in the team is healthy. Only Pavlovic has a premium contract. The team's strength is in the middle. With the progress of the young people in the team, it can be improved to a higher level. In this labor-management negotiation, Jiang Mingliang is relatively stable on the Diaoyutai. one of. Tough as Gilbert, tender as old Bath, let them quarrel. , to come up with a reason, then Jiang Mingliang will just do it.

Another unhurried, steady as Taishan is the reservists from Duke University, Kyrie Irving. Harrison Barnes' withdrawal has completely sealed Irving as the No. 1 pick in this draft. All the teams that have been out of the playoffs this season have sent scouts to observe Irving's practices and games, which shows that these teams are eager for him. After James left, the Cavaliers, which were in ruins, still had a solid lineup and a good structure, but lacked a point guard.

However, it would be too much for Jerry West to inspect Kyrie Irving in person. The Nets have made it to the first playoff team, and it's not your turn in the lottery. What are you doing to join in the fun? What, the No. 1 trade sign? I'm sorry, although the Nets' performance this year is good, but if you want to talk about the player's transaction value, except for George who can barely try to make an offer, no one else can really change the No. 1 pick.

Of course, both Duke University and Owen himself warmly welcomed West's arrival. From Owen's personal point of view, he would also like to replace Bledsoe by himself as the main point guard of the Nets. com next season the Nets can go further, he is very confident.

When in private contact, Irving also directly expressed his goodwill to the Nets to West. Whether it is the Nets' lineup, results, or the coaching team, the team's atmosphere is very attractive to him. In this regard, West said a few perfunctory words, but he felt regretful in his heart.

Who made the Nets perform well this year?

West's close attention to Irving is not what the Nets mean. Jiang Mingliang understands better than anyone that it is impossible for the team to get the No. 1 pick and choose Irving. But as early as when Jiang Mingliang asked West to come out, he gave the logo man such freedom, so he has no right to interfere.

But this is also good, the plank road is brightly built, and the darkness is Chencang. The other Nets scouts approached Leonard without knowing it.

Leonard's rookie prediction is to be selected in the 7th to 10th picks, but compared with the top picks that preserve their value, the picks in this area are not difficult to obtain in this special year this year. Although Leonard was surprised that the Nets took a fancy to him, a less popular rookie like him is not qualified to dislike any team.

Not to mention the Nets, even if the Cavaliers approached him, he would have to give positive feedback.
