Build a Dream Dynasty

Chapter 58: hard battles

"At my current age, there is no way for me to be hands-on with 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, as Jiang Mingliang said. That way, it's a pleasure to work with a smart guy who himself wants to prove that he still has gas in his mailbox.

"Of course, in fact, I am still a person with a strong desire to control myself. I still like to hold a lot of my own work. Of course, you can rest assured that in your professional field, you have the greatest right to speak. ." Jerry West expressed his unwillingness to deal with so many miscellaneous things, Jiang Mingliang also wanted it, and the position of a consultant was much less of a threat to himself.

From the perspective of a fan, the NBA is completely different from the perspective of an administrator to participate in the construction of a team. Jiang Mingliang graduated from Harvard with a major that is very different from the management of NBA teams. There are always difficulties in the position of the number one team. In this case, 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 strong 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 help Jiang Mingliang, but before the official signing, the old man has to go for a physical examination, and then go to New York to report after getting the doctor's report.

The two weeks left in the middle will be left to Jiang Mingliang to find him a house in New York.

In the few days that Jiang Mingliang was away, the Nets completed three more games with 1 win and 2 losses.

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

A day later, the Nets challenged the Orlando Magic in back-to-back away games. Perhaps it was affected by the schedule. The Nets team was not in shape in this game, especially from the outside. In the whole game, 8 of 29 three-pointers were made, and the outside shot could not be made. Can't beat Howard on the inside again, and a 21-point bleak is inevitable.

After a two-day break, the Nets, who returned home, were once again humiliated by the Celtics, who scored 22 points at 77:99.

If Anthony is a player in the league who can destroy the Nets' defense on offense, then Garnett is a figure who dominates the Nets' dissatisfaction on the defensive end. It's not just the Nets, all defenses are average, the offense is shooting, and the speed is good. Garnett's dealing with this type of insider is more ruthless than his father's beating his son. After all, his father's beating his son is still soft. Garnett's abuse of Anderson's is really a life of doubt.

After the lore against the Heat, the Nets were educated by the Heat, Magic, and Celtics one after another, which also awakened the blind confidence of some Nets fans. In fact, the Nets' strength is roughly on the edge 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.

The training ground consists of two courts and four baskets in total. Lopez is practicing on offense alone with the cooperation of the trainer. He is not a privileged player, but it is really only him who wants to launch a representative in the team. Korver, Danny Green, Bledsoe, Jeremy Lin, and Williams are training three-pointers. In addition to the shooting coach, Korver also plays the role of a "teacher" here. His experience as a top shooter on the court, his grasp of the shooting hand, and his experience in improving the shot rate will guide young players.

Paul George and veteran Carter occupied half of the court to conduct 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 respectively, and the shooting percentage was less than 40%. The reason is that the opponent's research on his style of play 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 used to shooting to solve the attack more often. When the opponent Pierce is tall and strong, and he resolutely uses the close defense around the screen, George's offensive efficiency inevitably declines.

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

"In this way, if the team can enter the playoffs, it will be pretty good against the Celtics. At least, I can learn more from the confrontation with these old rivers and lakes." Went to the training ground~ www.novelmt.com~ 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, their results were also bitten by the Eagles. The Nets have had a poor recent record, but the Knicks, which formed the "Big Three", did not achieve the expected results. The contradiction between Anthony and Stoudemire's shot rights was very obvious. The eighth place in the East is mainly the 76ers. The Pacers and 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 a bull or magic~" Stevens smiled wryly, it was really hard to fight!

This is also Stevens's sincerity. Relatively speaking, among the top four teams, it is true that these two teams can compete relatively.

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

Especially the Magic team, they don't even need to play against each other. Jiang Mingliang knew that the Magic team had a huge shortcoming. If it happened so coincidentally in the playoffs, it would definitely bring huge trouble to the Magic team!

Perhaps because the boss personally supervised the training on the sidelines, 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 whistle, everyone could only continue to practice, and no one complained.
