Build a Dream Dynasty

Chapter 249 Preseason

According to the original process, the promotional photos of the jerseys should have been taken before the start of the preseason. However, because the Nets' preseason game this season was arranged in Spain, it was delayed until now.

Not only the local media in the United States, but even many Chinese media also made a special trip to pay attention to the first press conference of the new season of the Nets. Back to the Nets.

How sensational is Yi Jianlian's return to the Nets in China? It is directly reflected in the number of "fans". To put it simply, Yao Ming's retirement took away a considerable number of fans' willingness to pay attention to the NBA, which led to a considerable decline in the popularity of the Rockets in China. On to the taillights. Moreover, after missing Harden, the Rockets' new season still looks hopeless. The combination of Dragic and Kevin Martin obviously cannot replace Harden's role.

When interviewed by domestic media, Yi Jianlian also expressed his joy of returning to the Nets: "I am very happy to play for the Nets in the new season. Compared with a year ago, I also feel that I have made some progress. I hope In the new season, we can get more opportunities and help the team more."

Strictly speaking, the Mavericks are already one of the most important teams in the league to use international players. However, even in this environment, it is not as comfortable as Yi Jianlian in the Nets. This is also one of the reasons why Yi Jianlian chose to stay in the NBA after giving up some money.

Curry was also asked how it feels to join the Nets. Especially during the draft, he focused on New York, and was cut off by the Warriors in the end. After a period of uncomfortable days, he finally came to New York, where he was thinking of, and got a big contract of 80 million fully guaranteed. Very interesting topic.

Although Curry came to the Nets as the main bargaining chip of George's deal, although Lopez missed most of the season last season, the contract he got was not as good as Curry's contract. But he is still a well-deserved C position when taking promotional photos. In this regard, Curry does not have much objection. After all, qualifications are still very important when the gap in strength is not obvious.

After taking care of everything, Jiang Mingliang returned to the car and took out the two folders that his father had handed over to him. The first one comes from Fenway Sports, a sports management giant in the United States. Fenway Sports owns the Boston Red Sox and Liverpool in the English Premier League. The proposal sent by Fenway boss John Henry is to trade 20% of Liverpool's shares to Jiang Shixiao.

"Fenway Sports~" Jiang Mingliang muttered, recalling the characteristics of Fenway's sports operations in his mind, and then shook his head.

If Moratti is too ignorant of management, then Fenway Sports is typically too shrewd in management and unwilling to take a little risk.

When it comes to the "magic ball theory", many people tend to think of Mo Yutian, the general manager of the Rockets. Although this fat man has a poor character and is a difficult opponent in negotiations, he is definitely a great manager. The implementation of these two things is an important reason why the Rockets can always win the lottery championship when their strength is average. However, Fenway Sports' management style is more extreme than Mo Yutian's implementation of the magic ball theory.

This kind of concept can help the team recover during the downturn period, but in the long run, it will only become the second or third pole of the food chain. It may be able to compete for the championship, but after winning the championship, it is also possible to dismantle the team. What is foreseen, this kind of team will not become a dynasty team, which is not in line with Jiang Mingliang's purpose of investing in sports.

Of course, Jiang Mingliang cooperated with Fenway Sports to make money with a high probability. It's just that the two people whose work styles don't match each other have different ways of cooperation and don't seek each other. Jiang Mingliang doesn't like each other very much.

Another cooperation proposal comes from Singaporean businessman Lin Furong. His goal was the Spanish powerhouse Atlético de Madrid. This proposal was also rejected by Jiang Mingliang.

Knowing the political situation of European countries, Jiang Mingliang would only accept investment from Premier League teams if he really wanted to engage in cross-border football. Italy, Spain, don't even think about it.

. . . . . .

Before the start of the new season, the Nets still have three preseason games to play. In the first preseason game, the Nets challenged the Grizzlies at home.

The last season of the Grizzlies can be described as tragic. The fifth result in the Western Conference created the highest ranking in the history of the team. Facing the Clippers with full confidence, however, in the first round of the confrontation between the two sides, the Grizzlies once led by 17 points and exposed the problem of poor attack from the outside. He played extraordinary in the first round and helped the Clippers successfully beat the Grizzlies.

Stopping the first round was a blow to the Grizzlies, so the Grizzlies made a big deal in the summer, trading away Gay, who has stronger personal abilities but is out of tune with the team, and thoroughly sorted out the inside offense as the main offensive point tactical system. The offensive and defensive core of the team, defined as

Compared to offense, the Grizzlies' defense is even better. The black and white duo plus Conley and Tony Allen are all players with strong defensive capabilities in their respective positions, and Hollins is also very good at changing a defensive team that fights independently into a unified defensive tactical system.

Facing the Grizzlies, the Nets played very hard. Conley and Tony Allen's alternate greetings made the Nets' offensive core Curry suppress enough in the first half of the game.

"Tony Allen does have a historic level of perimeter defense. He is really a defensive expert." From Snyder's point of view, what the Nets need is not Ray Allen, but Tony Allen. The defense reduces the pressure on Curry.

"But he is really lacking on the offensive end." To put it simply, when Tony Allen holds the ball, the defender in front of him is at least one and a half meters away from him, but if he can't make a shot, he can't make a shot ah.

Also because it is unlikely to meet Hebei in the playoffs, the emotions of the two sides were not so excited at the scene. The game is also mostly based on the fighting spirit of the head coaches of the two sides, and the main point of view is to see each move. Stevens directly emptied Tony Allen, fully exposing the defensive champion's shortcomings on the offensive end.

According to Jiang Mingliang's view, the Thunder and the Spurs are probably the only ones in the west that can beat the east.

In the end, the Nets defeated the Grizzlies with a 99:92, 7-point lead and won their third preseason victory.

However, it is a pity that Curry's performance in this game can only be said to be mediocre, which inevitably caused the support of the fans who had won back in the first two preseason games to drop back a lot. It's an NBA-level confrontation.

(In the past two weeks, I have had some stomach problems. I have made an appointment with a doctor and will have a gastroscopy tomorrow afternoon. It is not ruled out that the next update will be unstable. After all, gastroscopy is still very troublesome before and after. I hope everyone will forgive me.)
