Build a Dream Dynasty

The media industry in the United States is highly developed, and Jiang Mingliang and his Nets are the latest focus. On days without games, inevitably, his movements are closely watched by the media. "Stevens, New Nets Head Coach", ESPN took the lead in exposing the news of Jiang Mingliang's meeting with Stephens, and broke the news in advance when Jiang Mingliang and Stephens had not officially signed a contract.

In my previous life, I knew that these media had their own sources in various clubs. What WOJ, shams often broke the news before it was announced on the official website. I didn't expect this to happen to me.

Brad Stevens, who began serving as the head coach of Butler University in 2007, took the underappreciated Butler University to become the biggest dark horse of the NCAA in just three years, and made it all the way to the NCAA general manager. In the final, because Hayward missed the last blow, he lost by one point to the traditional giant Duke University led by the old coach K, and was the runner-up. Although he only won the runner-up in the end, for Butler University, which has never made a breakthrough in the NCAA in the history of the school, this year's experience is enough to go down in history, and the 34-year-old Stevens has also become well-known in the college basketball world. 's rising star.

Once the news of Jiang Mingliang's appointment of the young marshal as head coach came to light, it caused an uproar.

young! This is the first impression of the media and fans, describing both Jiang Mingliang and Stevens.

Far away in China, the young and handsome Jiang Mingliang received the title of "Young Master" by Nets fans as early as after the press conference, and after the news of Stevens taking office was exposed, the fans also gave him a nickname, " baby boy".

The young marshal is not enough to describe Stevens. He is not as old as some active players!

Fortunately, the United States does not pay much attention to seniority rankings, but no one is optimistic about the prospects of the Nets because of the ages of Jiang Mingliang and Stevens. In the end, performance is the last word.

As far away as China, fans matched the pair of young "monarchs" and "strategists" with a pair of brothers and sisters in history, calling Jiang Mingliang "Sun Ce" and Stevens "Zhou Yu".

. . . . . . .

What do the protagonists who traveled to the NBA in other novels build their teams most relied on? Of course it's a show! However, Jiang Mingliang is very sad. In 2010, he took over in 2009 and 2011. The quality of the draft can only be said to be quite satisfactory. But fortunately, the Nets have three draft picks this year, No. 3, No. 28, and No. 31. The number of draft picks is relatively sufficient, so they can still do something about it.

"In my basketball philosophy, the distinction between positions will be more blurred. It can be roughly divided into a core guard, three wings, and a rim protector. Using the gap of the wings to shoot space for power forwards in the traditional sense, Increase the space on offense. And on the defensive end, it's more pressing and more rotation."

"My personal favorite for the third pick is Paul George. He's a great shooter, both catch and hold; he's able to make the ball in difficult situations; His physical strengths to make steals. Definitely a wing player for any basketball system."

The overall quality of the 2010 rookies can only be said to be average. The only player who can reach the superstar standard is Paul George. This is also the only choice for the Nets, who are waiting for nothing.

George's current draft prospects are roughly between 10 and 12. If the son of the plane is bold, he may choose to use the No. 3 pick for the No. 6 or 7, and earn him another first round. But Jiang Mingliang did not dare to do so. As a result, this year's rookies, in terms of strength, can be used as the cornerstone to cultivate Wall, George, Cousins, and at most Hayward. Wall is scheduled to be the No. 1 pick, but the Nets can’t even choose him. Cousins ​​has a weird temperament, and his position overlaps with Lopez. Choosing him is a waste of resources. As for Gordon Hayward, Stevens' favorite at Butler University, it took Jazz three or four years to cultivate him in his previous life. For Jiang Mingliang, the effect was a bit slow.

Although Paul George was only selected as an All-Star in 2013, it was largely because the Pacers had a similar style of play Granger, and his training was gradual. The Nets are currently in a rut, and they can give him more ball power to exercise in the early stage, which will catalyze George's growth to a certain extent.

Choose George firmly, and let's talk about the rest.

"Paul George does have great talent. I have no problem with choosing him with the third pick." Compared with talent, Stevens values ​​George's addition to the weak position of the team's striker. If the team drafts after the sixth, he may be more inclined to his favorite Hayward, he can better understand his tactical intentions. But the top three picks are all used to gamble on talent, and George's hardware conditions are better than Hayward's.

Fortunately, Jiang Mingliang and Stevens have reached a consensus. He is really afraid that Stevens will have to choose his favorite general, Hayward. There are differences in the first cooperation, which is definitely not good. omen.

Fortunately, Stephens is still very reasonable.

In the selection of the third pick, Jiang Mingliang and Stevens have little difference. But how to choose between the 28th and 31st picks is more difficult to say.

In addition to the above-mentioned four people, there are still a lot of good role players in this draft, such as Larry Sanders, Eric Bledsoe, Avery Bradley, Hassan Whiteside, Lance Stephenson, these players, all played well in the league and got contracts that exceeded expectations. Especially the latter two, according to the process of the previous life, the Nets' draft right can intercept two people. Jiang Mingliang naturally also targeted Whiteside and Stephenson.

A point guard, a power forward with shooting ability. Stevens raised his needs outside of George.

After a careful study of the Nets' game footage from last season, Stevens was a little dissatisfied with Devin Harris, the starting point guard, especially on the defensive end.

"Coach, just talking about shooting ability, Yi Jianlian should be able to meet your needs." Jiang Mingliang reminded when he heard Steven's emphasis on shooting ability.

Shooting is one of the selling points of Yi Jianlian's foothold in the NBA.

Shaking his head, Stevens was not satisfied with Yi Jianlian: "I need a power forward who can provide more accurate shots and tougher defense."

"Such a player may be hard to find in the draft. Let's take a look at the free agent market." With shooting and defense, Jiang Mingliang thought of some names, but they were not in this draft.
