Build a Dream Dynasty

At 110:98, the Nets easily defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers, who were aiming to rot and the bottom of the league, ending their two-game losing streak.

A notable change in the game is that Stevens cut Anderson's playing time. Anderson, who has averaged 31 minutes per game so far this season, played only 24 minutes in this game. The free time was divided between Yi Jianlian and Baines. As the season went on, the Australian Baines got better and better with the Nets and was appreciated by Stevens, adding to his minutes.

In addition to the victory, what makes the Nets fans even more happy is that the team's main point guard, Bledsoe, who has been injured for two weeks, officially returned in this game. He played 27 minutes and scored 9 points, and his performance was acceptable.

In the past period of time, Jeremy Lin, who was in charge of the team, could only be said to be barely qualified. Of course, the fans don't have much to blame for him. He was signed as the third point guard. Who would have thought that both point guards on the team were injured and he could only be on top. From this perspective, Jeremy Lin's contribution is quite big.

At least until the season is underway, the voices that Jeremy Lin entered the league relying on his alumni relationship with Jiang Mingliang are getting smaller and smaller. It is undeniable that if it weren't for Jiang Mingliang's sake, the two Chinese in the team might not have gotten so many opportunities, but as long as the team's performance is good, who will care about it. And Jeremy Lin also used his performance to prove that he is a little stronger than the players eliminated by the league like Alston.

Jeremy Lin has gained a firm foothold in the NBA, and he is on the same team as Yi Jianlian, so he inevitably received more attention from the Chinese media. There are even some visionaries who are already considering the possibility of naturalizing Jeremy Lin. However, unlike Jiang Mingliang, who is fluent in Chinese, Jeremy Lin's Chinese proficiency only stays at the level of "hello", "thank you" and "I am Jeremy Lin", which greatly increases the sense of distance between reporters who came to interview.

Yao Ming, who had also noticed that Huaxia basketball was on the decline, also called Jiang Mingliang late at night in the magic capital and talked about Jeremy Lin.

"I personally also expect Jeremy Lin to join the national team, at least to stabilize the national team's hegemony in Asia. However, Huaxia does not recognize dual nationality, and it will be more difficult for him to give up his American citizenship." Jiang Mingliang replied.

Jiang Mingliang is very familiar with Jeremy Lin's situation in the team. Although they are both Chinese, Jeremy Lin and Yi Jianlian did not get too close. On the contrary, he was very active in integrating into the black culture of the team. He also had a good relationship with Whiteside, Bledsoe and Danny Green in the team. That's right, but Yi Jianlian is still a sullen gourd. Except for training and team building activities that he must participate in, he spends most of his time alone.

Although this is just a matter of personal character and does not mean anything else, it can be seen that Jeremy Lin completely regards himself as a pure American in his bones. It is impossible to tempt him with a chicken soup like "the blood of the descendants of Yan and Huang." If you want to impress him, it is just two words, "interest".

In the current season, Huaxia Basketball can still stand on top of Asia. Most of the surrounding opponents, except for Iran, do not have the strength to compete with the Huaxia team. Attitude. The will of both parties is not very strong, and this matter cannot be done for the time being. According to Jiang Mingliang's vision, it is best to wait for Yao Ming to supervise this matter in person.

In the last game of January, the Nets travel to the 76ers. In this defensive battle between the seventh and eighth in the Eastern Conference, the power forward position once again became the Nets' seven-inch position. Anderson and Yi Jianlian were successively beaten by Thaddeus Young of the 76ers. In the first half, the Nets could still rely on the points chased by the bench players to compete, but in the second half, the team completely lost resistance. After successive battles and fatigue, the physical exertion is really a bit large, and it really can't fill the points lost in the power forward position. In the whole game, Thaddeus Young scored 27 points and hit 58%. (25-24)

The power forward position was blown up by opponents in a row, and Stevens felt a pressure. After a tight and high-intensity game, the Nets now have a record of 25 wins and 24 losses, ranking seventh in the Eastern Conference, ahead of the ninth in the ranking. The Pacers have 4 wins and seem to have some advantages, but the recent record of 2 wins and 4 losses has sounded the alarm for Stevens. The opponents that the Nets are facing have now seized the team's strength. Weak link, consciously strengthen the attack on the weak point of the Nets' power forward position.

If this problem is not solved, the Nets will be really hard to say this season.

Tell me, what's the use of transmigrating to the second-generation rich? Look at the system, a bottle of potion or some props, Yi Jianlian grows into Garnett, how wonderful? But Jiang Mingliang, at this moment can only be a big wave to wash the sand, and select suitable candidates from the players who are not valued by other teams in the league.

Transactions involving the inside line are often difficult. Jiang Mingliang focused on the inside line players who did not perform well this season, but he did not find any suitable players.

When Jiang Mingliang was at a loss, Jerry West, the old Jianghu, played his role. He recommended Jiang Mingliang a good looking candidate.

"Karl Landry?" The former Rockets general is of course very familiar to Jiang Mingliang. However, he averaged 26.6 minutes per game this season, contributing 11 points and 5 rebounds. However, it is also very difficult to trade.

"The Kings focus on training Cousins ​​and Thompson~www.novelmt.com~Landry has been reduced to a backup in the Kings, and he has only one year left on his contract. If we can come up with some chips, there should be a chance. ' said West.

In private, he has done some work and learned that the Kings are willing to use Landry as a bargaining chip in exchange for some high-quality contracts or draft rights.

"Anderson?" Jiang Mingliang immediately thought of the main power forward in his team. From the perspective of opening space for Cousins, Anderson is definitely more suitable for Cousins ​​than Landry.

"I think they're more interested in Danny Green. Green's defense will help them," West said.

The addition of Tony Allen, a defensive strongman, has improved the Grizzlies' defense. Now the Grizzlies are firmly in the ranks of the Western Conference playoffs. This is a temptation for the Kings who are also in the rebuilding period. Although Danny Green does not have Tony Allen is so defensive, but can also be developed as a defensive spearhead.

"This, I don't think it's good." Jiang Mingliang shook his head subconsciously, and then sighed again.

"issac, I admit that Danny is a good role player. If he develops smoothly, he will also grow into a qualified starter, but his future will never be in the Nets." West said firmly.

Whether it's Thompson or Leonard, the Nets' goal in the draft will definitely be on the flanks, plus the team's focus on cultivating George, and Korver, who has a contract with the team, regardless of the future Carter is inconclusive, and Danny Green's competition is fierce enough.

Can the Nets give Green enough playing time?

"These young people need to enter the playoffs!" West said.

Young people have experienced brutal playoffs before they have truly entered this league!
