After chatting about the CBA for a while, Ke Yan and Yao Ming also talked about a recent major event in the NBA. Bruce Ratner, the owner of the New Jersey Nets, intends to sell the team.

The Nets have been losing money for consecutive years, and have not won a single game so far this season. They have suffered 10 consecutive losses. The team's current situation can be said to be at rock bottom. The market value of the team itself is only about US$230 million.

But there is a huge "breaking point" in the operation of this team, that is, the team will move to New York in 2012 and settle in the Buckley Center in Brooklyn. If the team can gain a foothold in New York, it will get a piece of the pie in the center of the world.

If so, the team's business prospects are limitless.

In fact, as early as when he left the Hawks, Ke Yan had considered the possibility of acquiring the Nets. However, after liquidating his assets, he gave up the idea of ​​"overestimating his capabilities."

Currently, Ke Yan holds a considerable amount of stocks in Google and Apple, as well as hundreds of Bitcoins. The total market value is probably just over 200 million US dollars. This amount of money will be enough to complete the acquisition, but the ability to resist risks in later operations is too poor.

, after all, Keyan does not have his own industry, and most of his assets come from stocks and currencies. It is difficult for such a property distribution to pass the alliance's review. Not to mention that his Chinese identity is also a "deduction".

Unless he finds a consortium to cooperate, or expands his property to a larger number to be able to bear a certain loss, it will really not be easy to acquire the Nets.

But Ke Yan's own plan is to buy an NBA team to run it independently, and cooperate with the consortium. It is easy for them to eat up all the bones through their best financial plan. So.

.

.

Let’s wait for other opportunities in the future.

Anyway, in the next few years, the Warriors, Hornets, Kings, Clippers, Bucks, 76ers, and Grizzlies will all change owners. Even later, the Miller family sold the Jazz and Nets.

Even a second sale. Keyan still has many opportunities.

On November 24, the Knicks visited Toronto to challenge the King of the North, the Toronto Rams.

Before the start of the season, the Menglong team was once expected to become the third pole in the Eastern Conference after the Cavaliers and Magic.

The team has a complete lineup. Mike Bibby, DeRozan, Lewis, Bosh, and Kwame Brown have a very capable lineup. On the bench, the team also has Bayless, Barbosa, Sony Weems, Ed.

Davis, Amir Johnson, Bargnani and other players with certain abilities have both the strength of the starting lineup and the depth of the bench lineup.

However, after the actual battle, the results achieved by the Menglong team did not match the strength of their lineup. They also hit critical moments many times. Unlike the Knicks' "mixed joys and sorrows", the Menglong team's score difference was within 2 minutes with the remaining 2 minutes.

He had 0 wins and 3 losses in games with less than 5 points, which exposed his weakness of not being good at playing key balls.

Mike Bibby's independent offensive ability has declined, and he is moving towards the direction of a point guard on the floor; DeRozan is just a dunker, with no shooting range at all. Kwame Brown himself is a blue-collar who improves the team's interior defensive hardness. Even Kobe Bryant can lead the offense.

Not moving; the team's offense relies more on Lewis and Bosh, which can be said to be adequate in the Eastern Conference, but it will certainly not be particularly strong.

After only achieving a record of 4 wins and 6 losses at the start of the game, the Menglong team adjusted the team's starting lineup in this game. Brazilian Lightning Barbosa replaced Mike Bibby and entered the team's starting lineup.

Coincidentally, Ke Yan also made changes to the Knicks' starting lineup. After several rounds of weighing, Ke Yan included Matthews in the starting lineup for this game.

Considering that Holiday is a player that Ke Yan focuses on cultivating, the position of "sixth man" is difficult to shake. In other words, Larry Hughes has directly fallen out of the team's regular rotation and has become a water dispenser.

For Larry Hughes, who has performed well since the start of the season and scored in double figures seven times in 10 games, this decision is a bit cruel. But this is competitive sports, and it is also Ke Yan's leadership rule, which is "survival of the fittest."

Matthews has shown that he can adapt to Curry. His immediate combat ability is not as strong as that of a rookie, let alone an undrafted player. Holiday represents the future of the team. If two people with similar styles,

There is no grade difference in terms of strength, so the younger one must be more favored. Larry Hughes on the bench was a little resistant, but he knew that he could not change anything.

It was also a last-minute change of players, but the adjustments made by Ke Yan and Sam Mitchell had completely different effects.

Larry Hughes was put in the freezer, Matthews took the starting position, and Curry gained more ball rights and performed more confidently on the court.

Although he has strong movement without the ball, compared to catching and shooting, Curry's offense with the ball is more lethal!

The Brazilian Lightning has faster speed, but basketball has never been a track and field sport. The core strength of completing actions in a small space is far more important than the speed of running! Curry’s random step adjustment can

It can throw off Barbosa for a certain distance and gain a good shooting space.

Compared with Bibby, who has declined, Barbosa has drained more water after leaving Nash. Apart from speed, Barbosa's other advantages are not obvious. His shooting is sometimes ineffective, and he is also difficult to deal with tough defenses.

He's not very capable of breaking through and causing damage, and he doesn't have very good organizational skills.

It can only be said that people who shine next to Nash may not perform well in other teams, including Marion, Big Q, and Barbosa. The only exception is Joe Johnson, who was poached by Ke Yan.

Curry kills everyone on the outside, and other teammates also benefit from all aspects. This is Curry's imagination on the offensive end. Basically, if he opens this point, his teammates can get a good offensive environment.

101:119, the Knicks won the away game. After three consecutive losses, they quickly recovered and returned to the third position in the Eastern Conference.

Curry delivered a wonderful performance of 34 points and 6 assists. Judging from his performance in a month, he has already locked up the title of Rookie of the Month in November and ranks first in the rookie rankings.

Matthews, who started the game, performed quite well in this game. He played 33 minutes, scored 7 points, 3 rebounds and 1 steal on 2 of 8 shots. His statistics were relatively average. However, this may be due to excessive excitement. Throughout the game, he scored 7 points, 3 rebounds and 1 steal.

He is very active on the defensive end. Whether he is facing DeRozan or switching to Lewis, he has shown his strong defense, which can be regarded as adding points to himself from another aspect.

A saying that Ke Yan often talks about is "In a game, you can only hold the ball for 12 minutes at most, but the 36 minutes you don't hold the ball determine what kind of player you are!" This is another way he judges players.

angle.

On the team's plane back to New York from Toronto, Larry Hughes found Ke Yan and asked how the team positioned him.

This is not to force a divorce, but to worry about his own future. After all, this season is Larry Hughes's contract year, and he needs good performance to win the amount of the next contract for himself, rather than sitting on the bench and lying on his back.

Earn a salary, and then gradually emerge from the NBA stage.

"Larry, I can probably understand what you mean. But you understand the situation of the team. Maybe you are destined to give up your position to young people. But I admire your career very much. I know that in this summer

, you started training early in order to enter the state as early as possible in the new season. In return, I can give you the greatest respect. I can put you on the trading list, provided that we get chips that meet our needs; if

If you want to leave before the trade deadline, we can negotiate a buyout, but accordingly, you may be required to give up part of your salary; of course, if you are willing to accept the position of a substitute, I welcome you to stay in the team. After all, Nick

In addition to vitality, the Sri Lankan team still needs some experience."

Ke Yan gave the choice to Larry Hughes himself. For trades, do not accept long-term junk contracts; for buyouts, Larry Hughes must give up part of his salary, and the Knicks can just cut costs; to stay on the team, just be honest.

Substitute.

After all, Larry Hughes can play two positions: point guard and shooting guard. If the team encounters an injury, he can still step in, so Ke Yan didn't say anything for sure.

The plan given by Ke Yan was quite comprehensive. Larry Hughes nodded and accepted Ke Yan's words, feeling very conflicted in his heart.

Change source app]

I probably know my situation well. In the past few years, I have been "traveling around" and changing teams, and I have been injured frequently. I have long been labeled with some not-so-good labels. That is to say, I have performed at a certain level under Ke Yan this season. If I choose

If you buy out, the best situation is to join a championship team with a minimum salary; if you are unlucky.

.

.

You may have to try out and find a job.

Therefore, the most ideal situation is to "trade". It doesn't matter whether the team is strong or weak. It is best to be one with a shortage of players in the backcourt and one that can give you more playing time!

Let Larry Hughes and his agent worry about all this~

Back in New York, the Knicks faced the challenge from the 76ers. Speaking of the 76ers, they were really messing around.

In the "post-Iverson" era, the team has obviously completed reconstruction, including a group of young people such as Felton, Ying Guodala, Gerald Wallace, Thaddeus Young, Braden Lait, and Lou Williams.

Talent has obviously supported half of the team, but the team management was so idle that they brought back Iverson, who had been "homeless" after leaving the Pistons, with the idea of ​​signing him back with a minimum salary.

Iverson stimulated the ball market, but if the effect was not good, Iverson would be cut again.

As a result, Iverson returned to the 76ers, and after kissing the floor, things turned upside down again. First, there was a "moral kidnapping", and Felton gave up his starting position, and also resumed his "ball-carrying, core" play on the court.

Law, the key is "It's easy to invite God, but hard to give away". The fans just followed Iverson's tactics. How could it be possible to cut him?

As for the "defensive counterattack" system created by the team in the past two seasons, it has basically been dismantled!

In itself, all members of the 76ers team are extremely mobile and can even achieve the effect of "infinite defense changes", which has a great restraint effect on the Knicks, especially Curry, and "collapsed" because Iverson couldn't keep up.

"In an ant nest." On the contrary, Shaquille O'Neal, when facing Breitling and Thaddeus Young, used his advantage in confrontation to frequently push away his opponents and score at the basket.

It is certain that the Shark will no longer be as brave as he used to be. In front of this "limited edition" opponent, he can briefly find the feeling he had back then. He himself also knows it very well. The only hope is to win the championship at the end of his career.

Rings, preferably more than Kobe's.

111:98, the Knicks defeated the 76ers at home and won three consecutive victories (8-4).

Ke Yan's "glorious history" is here. When the team lost three consecutive games, the New York media did not dare to say anything for fear of being slapped in the face; when the team won three consecutive victories, the fans were "climaxed" and Ke Yan won the hero title.

Like a carp, he was even arranged to interact with fans after the game and drink beer for them.

Whenever Keyan drinks a glass of beer, it will be snatched away by the fans on the three floors inside and outside. Some fans will also boo: "Isn't the beer Kimi drinks particularly delicious?"

Later, Curry and Ayesha also came to the tavern. However, Curry abided by his agreement with Ke Yan to try not to drink alcohol unless necessary during the season, so Ayesha only had a drink.

"Is our leader cool?" Sitting on a chair and looking at the popular Ke Yan, Curry showed a trace of envy in his eyes.

"Cool! But too controlling." Ayesha used a strange word.

How to put it? So far in the season, Curry has performed very well. If placed on other teams, there is no doubt that he will become the "king" of this team and the "darling" of this city.

, just like Rose did in Chicago.

But in the Knicks and New York, it seems that everyone takes Curry's performance "for granted." Only when someone sometimes emphasizes, "Curry is still a rookie," do everyone realize Curry's performance.

How amazing.

Is it because Ke Yan has trained an equally outstanding Paul before? Or is it because Ke Yan is measuring Curry by the standard of "Messi"?

All in all, Curry and Key Yan seem to be bound. What's even more strange is that Curry doesn't feel any discomfort about it.

"Hi, Stephen~" Ke Yan, who was busy, raised his wine glass towards Curry and took a sip.

Curry made a "applause" gesture in response, and then hugged Ayesha in a show-off manner, showing a wave of affection to Keyan.
