Build a Dream Dynasty

Chapter 9: supplementary lineup

The wheel of history did not deflect its trajectory because of Jiang Mingliang, a little butterfly. On July 9, LeBron James, the son of choice, announced his contract with the Heat through a national live special program hosted by ESPN, and will form the Big Three with Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade. line-up!

As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused violent turmoil in the league. No one expected that James, Wade, and Bosh would choose to stick together at their peak, and the Miami Heat became the league's favorite to win the championship in an instant.

No. 23 vs. No. 24. In the past two years, this is the fateful matchup that the league has been pushing for. However, at the current time node, in addition to breaking Bryant's series of youngest records, James is simply not enough to compare with Bryant in terms of honor, which can be regarded as a magic obstacle for James. If you want to really smash the doubts surrounding yourself, only the championship. For this, James spared no expense.

When everyone was shocked by the Heat's formation of the Big Three, the Nets' official website announced a news of the signing. Chinese point guard Jeremy Lin signed a contract with the team and will represent the team in the summer league.

It's not that Jiang Mingliang doesn't want to sign Jeremy Lin directly, but that this type of undrafted draft has its own channels for promotion to the league. First of all, you have to perform in trial training and in the summer league, and it is only logical to give the contract yourself, and another purpose of this operation is to avoid the doubts caused by the skin color issue. Jiang Mingliang doesn't care. Jeremy Lin's salary is nothing compared to the Nets' budget, but because Jeremy Lin was given special treatment by the Chinese owner, he was plotted against by other players.

Although he is a Chinese player, he is naturally favored by Chinese fans. But the news of James joining the Heat was so shocking that even Jeremy Lin could not shake the news of James. The Nets fans are more concerned about the negotiation between the team and Carlos Boozer. There has always been news that the Nets' contact with Boozer is very smooth. The All-Star power forward has spoken verbally. Promised to sign with the team.

Although several promising rookies have been added, and the All-Star power forward has been finalized, these signings are obviously not enough for the Nets who are waiting for nothing. Regarding the question of the new season's lineup, Jiang Mingliang, Stevens, and Will Craig sat together to discuss.

"The team already has Lopez and Whiteside in the center position. In addition, according to my assumption, Yi Jianlian also needs to be in this position at some time. I don't think there is any need to add any reinforcements. .” Stevens first expressed his views on the position of the center, “Of course, if there are suitable candidates in the summer league and trial training, they can also sign them and be prepared.”

Everyone nodded in agreement. How should I put it, there are no suitable insiders on the market right now.

Stevens continued: "Let's look at the power forward again. Boozer is in his prime and has comprehensive offensive means. The combination with Lopez is worth looking forward to. Najera and Yi Jianlian should be able to serve as substitutes." In addition to these three In addition to individuals, Stevens also plans to try Pavlovic's cameo power forward at certain times to open up the space tactics, but will not discuss it for the time being.

Lopez, Boozer, Yi Jianlian, Najera, Whiteside, this set of insiders is not luxurious, but it is definitely enough without injury. Thinking of Jiang Mingliang's emphasis on Yi Jianlian, it is still Guarantee his playing time and reduce the competition for the interior position.

"Yeah! Let's continue watching small forwards!" Jiang Mingliang motioned for Stevens to continue.

Stevens continued: "The difference between shooting guard and small forward in my play is not obvious. I prefer to use the wing to express it. At the moment we have Paul George, Kyler Korver, Courtney in this position. Lee, Terrence Williams, Pavlovic five players. Paul's shooting and defense meet my requirements, but after all, he is a rookie and needs time to adapt to the NBA, and the other three players have their own problems. Seriously. Kyler and Alexander have average athleticism, Courtney and Terrence are not very stable players. The number is enough, but it's better to upgrade."

"Does the coach have any favorite candidates?" The Nets' record was so poor last season, and being beaten to death by others on the flank was an important reason. No one can guarantee that George will be able to hold up on both ends of the offense and defense in the new season. The team struggled for a while, but Jiang Mingliang decided to strengthen it through trading.

"Ariza from the Rockets." Stevens called out a name, and immediately received strange looks from Jiang Mingliang and Will Craig.

"Ariza didn't perform well in the Rockets last season, mainly because he was pushed out of the market and became the focus of opponents. I think he is just an ordinary starter. He is very suitable." Stevens explained. road.

"OK, Will, Tantan Rocket's words, if the price is right, you can consider a trade." Jiang Mingliang directly stamped this signing target, UU reading www. uukanshu.com supports Stevens' choice.

"The position of the point guard is also the hardest hit area for the team. At present, there is only one player in Bledsoe. His passing awareness, game experience, and shooting are not qualified, and he needs an experienced veteran to lead the area." In , Stevens watched a lot of rookie game video, saw some surprises from Bledsoe, but also found some problems.

"I have a good recommendation for this position, Sean Livingston."

Although high school players have been successful in the NBA for a long time, those are other positions. The first high school point guard to enter the league was Livingston. But unfortunately, in a game in 2007, Livingston suffered a serious leg injury and was abandoned by the Clippers after a year of rest. After that, he began his homeless career.

However, at the end of last season, Livingston played the main force for the Wizards, averaging 11.2 points and 4.9 assists in his 18 starting games, showing signs of recovery.

With a height of 205, Livingston has a natural height advantage at the point guard position. Playing any point guard is a dislocation. A skilled rollover jumper, good organizational skills, more than enough to serve as a substitute, and on the defensive end, Livingston can also be dislocated to the flank position. Really a fitting deal.

"Livingston is a player with a very unique style of play. To make good use of him, we need to spend a lot of thought." Stevens still accepts this candidate. What he is worried about is his health.

As everyone knows, Jiang Mingliang has also figured this out. While Livingston can provide the Nets' tactics with changes, his body needs to be maintained. The training time of the game can be reserved for Jeremy Lin to exercise, killing three birds with one stone.

In order to cultivate talents for the motherland, Jiang Mingliang has taken great pains!
