Build a Dream Dynasty

"At my current age, there is no way for me to do everything about the team. I can't manage all aspects of the team. I can only concentrate on what I am good at." Jerry West was a little moved, just as Jiang Mingliang said In that way, it is a pleasure to cooperate with smart people, and he himself wants to prove that he still has oil in his mailbox.

"Of course, in fact, I am still a person with a strong desire to control. I still like to hold many of my own jobs in my hands. Of course, you can rest assured that in your professional field, you have the greatest say "Jerry West expressed his unwillingness to take care of so many miscellaneous things, Jiang Mingliang also wished for it, and the position of a consultant poses much less threat to himself.

Looking at the NBA from the perspective of a fan and personally participating in the construction of a team from the perspective of a manager are two completely different things. Jiang Mingliang graduated from Harvard with a major that is also quite different from the management of an NBA team. There are always difficulties in the position of the leader of the team. Under such circumstances, being able to recruit West to make up for his own shortcomings is simply a match made in heaven. Moreover, this can directly hit a powerful opponent in the future, the construction of the Warriors' management team. In this way, Jiang Mingliang's annual salary of 6 million US dollars for West is nothing.

In general, Jerry West has accepted Jiang Mingliang's invitation and decided to go out to assist Jiang Mingliang. However, before signing the contract, the old man has to do a physical examination first, and then go to New York to report after receiving the doctor's report.

For the two weeks left in the middle, let Jiang Mingliang find him a house in New York.

During the few days when Jiang Mingliang was away from home, the Nets completed three more games with a score of 1 win and 2 losses.

On January 2nd, the Nets ushered in their first game after the new year at home and narrowly defeated the visiting New Orleans Hornets by 97:95. Paul scored 30+8 data, and it was still difficult to stop the Hornets from misfiring embarrassment.

A day later, the Nets challenged the Orlando Magic in back-to-back away games. Perhaps due to the impact of the schedule, the Nets were out of shape in this game, especially outside. They made 8 of 29 three-pointers in the game and missed outside shots. Howard couldn't beat the inside, so the paleness of 21 points was inevitable.

After two days of rest, the Nets returned home and were once again humiliated by the Celtics, 77:99, with 22 points abused.

If Anthony in the league is a player who can destroy the Nets' defense on the offensive end, then Garnett is a character who dominates the Nets' dissatisfaction on the defensive end. It's not just the Nets. All defenses are average. The offense is good at shooting and speed. There is no inside line with a back. Garnett dealt with this type of insider more viciously than a father beating his son. Anyway, the father knows how to be soft when beating his son. Garnett abuses Andersons, that is really a life of doubt.

After beating the Heat, the Nets were educated by the Heat, the Magic, and the Celtics one after another, which also awakened the blind self-confidence of some Nets fans. In fact, the strength of the Nets is roughly on the verge of the playoffs. There is indeed a big gap between the top four teams in the Eastern Conference.

After finishing his work in the office, Jiang Mingliang came to the training hall to watch the team's training situation.

The training ground has two courts and four baskets in total. Lopez is practicing offensively alone with the cooperation of the trainer. He is not a privileged player, but he really has to be a representative in the team. Korver, Danny Green, Bledsoe, Jeremy Lin, and Williams are training three-pointers. In addition to shooting coaches, Korver also plays the role of a "teacher" here. My own experience as a top shooter on the court, my grasp of shooting hand shape, and my experience in improving shooting speed have guided young players.

Paul George and veteran Carter occupied half of the court, conducting an offensive and defensive drill with many restrictions on George, to test George's personal ability to attack with the ball. In the past three games, George scored 11 points, 9 points, and 12 points, and his shooting percentage was less than 40%. The reason is that the opponents studied his style of play and began to design special defensive tactics for him. Of course, if George's performance continues like this, the outside world will soon hear that George hit the rookie wall.

The offensive ability with the ball is lacking, the dribble point is too high, and it is easy to lose the ball when entering the small penalty area. George is still accustomed to using shots to solve offenses more often. When facing Pierce, who is not inferior to himself in height and strength, and resolutely adopts a close-fitting defense around the screen, George's offensive efficiency will inevitably decline.

The rest of the players shared a basket and practiced shooting.

"It seems that if the team can enter the playoffs, it will be pretty good to play against the Celtics. At least, we can learn more from the confrontation with this group of veterans." Walking to the sidelines of the training field, Jiang Mingliang joked with Stevens.

The current situation in the East is that the Celtics, Bulls, and Heat are fighting for the regular season championship. Although the Magic beat the Nets hard, the results were also bitten by the Eagles. The recent record of the Nets is not good, but the results of the "Big Three" Knicks have not met expectations. The contradiction between Anthony and Stoudemire's shooting rights is very obvious. The eighth position in the Eastern Conference is mainly the 76ers. The Pacers and the Bucks compete. The 76ers currently have a 2-game advantage and have a slight upper hand.

"Aha, although I don't want to admit it, the last thing I want to meet is the Celtics. Give me the Bulls or the Magic~" Stevens smiled wryly, it was really hard to beat!

This is also what Stevens said. Relatively speaking, among the top four teams, these two teams are indeed relatively capable of fighting.

Compared with the Heat of the Big Three and the Celtics of the N Giants, the Bulls and Magic have one thing in common, that is, the dependence of these two teams on core players is very exaggerated. Although Rose and Howard are now the top three figures on the MVP list, in the playoffs, when fighting for their lives, the game is not about whose strengths are longer, but whose weaknesses are not short. Relatively speaking, this The two teams are more likely to be caught.

The Magic, in particular, didn't need to fight each other. Jiang Mingliang knew that the Magic had a huge shortcoming. If they met in the playoffs by such a coincidence, it would definitely cause huge trouble for the Magic!

Perhaps it was because the boss personally supervised the training on the sidelines, and the enthusiasm of everyone on the training ground was higher than usual. It was obviously the end of the training time, but seeing that Stevens was still communicating with Jiang Mingliang and had no time to blow the whistle, everyone had to continue practicing, and no one complained.
