Legendary Basketball Tycoon

When the New York Hans coach Paul Westphal looked at the list of players in his hand, his expression was quite helpless.

Last season, the New York Hans could rely on their absolute strength to advance to the Eastern Conference semifinals of the playoffs, but this time it’s good. After the regular season this season started, it was really difficult.

What's the difference?

Of course on the bench!

In order to get Kevin Garnett, the team just traded away two powerful players.

The most "wonderful" thing is that Kevin Garnett got his brains and was hidden by the "prince".

The fastest time to play will definitely not be the first month of the regular season. You still have to give face to the "prince". You can't just "unblock" the boss as soon as the boss ordered "Snow Treasure".

His skull is not so square yet!

Teams that have been significantly compromised continue to make the situation worse.

In addition to Kevin Garnett, who was "snow hidden" internally, this year the team also traded David West + Bo Otero and the Charlotte Hornets to power forward Kenny Garnett. Tisson and a second-round pick in 1996.

Although the team's general manager Mickey Kupchak also went to the free market to supplement the veteran of the striker Ricky Pierce, but he still fell in vain!

As for the players who come to the team for trial training, basically they do not meet the requirements of head coach Paul Westphal.

I still have to explain here.

Also coming to New York to participate in the trial training is the Chinese player Ma Jian. He has graduated from the University of Utah this year. Because his age has exceeded the limit of the draft, he can only participate in each team as a free agent. Trial training.

Ma Jian's first stop was of course the New York Hans with Chinese compatriot Liu Yu!

His idea is still relatively simple. They are all Chinese compatriots, and they will certainly take care of their own people.

The result of the trial training is also OK. After all, it's just a role of watching the drinking fountain, and it's not that important. It doesn't matter whether you sign or not, it's kind of dispensable.

However, general manager Mitch Kupchak reported the name of Ma Jian to Liu Yu, who is far away in China, in the spirit of flattering the "prince prince".

As a result, the flattery didn't pat, and the horse's hoof was patted!

Liu Yu sent Mickey Kupchak without signing.

Just kidding, the role that the Chinese Basketball Association has blocked, Liu Yu dare to sign?

(What's the matter with Ma Jian, Baidu, everyone)

In fact, Liu Yu certainly dared to sign this kind of ban, but the premise is that you must be Wang Zhizhi.

If it was Wang Zhizhi, even if it would offend the Basketball Association, Liu Yu would definitely sign him.

Of course, Liu Yu didn't look down on Ma Jianha. As far as Liu Yu was concerned, he admired Ma Jian's courage. In order to come to the NBA, he risked being blocked, which in itself is admirable.

Although Ma Jian's strength is not good, his peak strength is barely the same as Battelle, but people have this desire to enter the NBA, unlike the young men of the previous men's basketball team, all of them are moths, and take good care of the men's basketball team. A little bit of glory is clean.

The reason why Ma Jian was not signed was to hold the first CBA League in China in December this year.

For Liu Yu, who already has a Chinese CBA team, taking the risk of signing Ma Jian will definitely cause dissatisfaction with the Basketball Association.

The Basketball Association has lost face, what do you think of the Basketball Association?

...

Without further ado, let's continue to understand the situation of the team.

There are currently 14 players in the New York Hans.

However, many of these players have their contracts expired after playing this season.

Head coach Paul Westphal listened to the meaning of "prince prince", and he will definitely not renew his contract with these people after the end of this season.

Just kidding, let these people go for free, he felt heartache even thinking about it.

Why don't you renew the contract first and then use it for trading? How great is it to trade back a few more capable players!

Fortunately, he is not a starting player, and it doesn't matter how much he goes off the bench.

But he knows Liu Yu's mind!

Don't you send these old soldiers away for free, and then trade those players back to occupy the position of the "golden generation" in 96?

Liu Yu is not that stupid!

For the team's player framework, he has already planned it, and he can almost bring back 3-4 powerful rookies in the draft next year.

Coupled with the loss of the draft and the "big fish" on the free market, it's almost enough. The team doesn't have to make a big list of 15 players.

So next year's New York Hans will be a better mix.

Let these "golden generation" players accumulate experience first. After a few seasons, it will be time for them to fly for nine days.

After all, head coach Paul Westphal has been coaching for three full seasons, and his style of play has already taken shape.

Even if these rookies join the team immediately, there will not be too many lack of running-in.

So Liu Yu is quite satisfied with the team's current roster.

But the only dissatisfied is the head coach Paul Westphal.

The regular season will be played in a few days. Judging from the preseason performance that the team participated in some time ago, the depth of the bench players is obviously not enough.

They are all veterans, no matter how bad they are, there are also a few players who are in trouble.

And there are individual players who have already come up with other thoughts.

This is not a good signal!

For Unity, who prefers to control the locker room, these "malignant tumors" must be eliminated one by one.

But now, there is really no way. General manager Mitch Kupchak has clearly told him that this year's trading window has ended early.

Unless something happens, the team can only insist on using these players to continue playing.

...

The 1995-1996 regular season started on November 3.

The opponent of the New York Hans' first game was the Boston Celtics, who had just moved to the new home of the Fleet Center Arena.

95: 109

The New York Hans lost for the first time this season.

Facing the Celtics who have just moved to a new home, the New York Hans are more able to behave. After all, the Celtics are no matter how old the team is, and they still have to give enough face.

Everyone has no grudges in the past and has no grudges in the past, and there is no need to make the Celtics their first home game in the new season ashamed, right!

But the New York Hans in the next game was unacceptable.

The next day they defeated the Milwaukee Bucks back-to-back at home.

Immediately after the No. 7 victory over the Atlanta Hawks.

No. 8 flew back to back to the West and defeated the San Antonio Spurs.

Throughout the regular season in November, the New York Hans had 10 wins and 5 losses, ranking eighth in the Eastern Conference.

This is beyond the head coach Paul Westphal's expectation.

According to Coach Paul's expectation, with so many veterans in the team, it would have to be the last few players in the Eastern Conference.

Why are you in the top eight!

Can't figure it out?

However, the Charlotte Hornets are close behind with a win margin.

The Chicago Bulls, which have been promoted inside, still firmly hold the top spot in the Eastern Conference.

Unexpectedly, the Detroit Pistons and Atlanta Hawks actually ranked in the top four.

As for the west.

It can only be said that the strong teams are still those, and only the rankings have changed.
