Build a Dream Dynasty

The 3-year contract with a fully guaranteed basic salary of 3 million yuan is even better than the team option for the third year of the three-year contract signed by Whiteside. For Jeremy Lin's undrafted picks, it is the largest and most guaranteed contract that can be signed. contract. Jeremy Lin officially signed his name on the contract provided by the team. While Jeremy Lin was secretly delighted, he was also thinking about whether there were some other factors in this contract. After signing Jeremy Lin, the Nets already have 14 players in their roster, and the total salary is still 10 million from the "poor ghost line". Trading, eating junk contracts in exchange for draft picks, there is a lot of room for manipulation.

On September 15th, the league officially issued the new season schedule to the teams. The NBA regular season is scheduled to officially start on October 30th, and before that, the preseason will kick off on September 29th. The Nets will go to China to play a game with the Nuggets and the China National Team, and then return to the United States to start their local preseason performances.

After receiving the notice from the league, Jiang Mingliang forced several players who were on the team to go home to rest for ten days. A season is very long, and the necessary physical reserves are absolutely indispensable.

And far away in Huaxia, Qin Zhengwei also sent good news to Jiang Mingliang. One is the new company that Jiang Mingliang requested. proposed conditions.

SBS did not agree to a buyout price, but asked for a 15% dividend from the show.

For the project "running man", SBS has worked hard for nearly a year to slowly show the effect. Now that the word-of-mouth and ratings have reached the national standard, it is no wonder that they do not agree to sell it in one go.

"I can agree to a 15% dividend, but the premise is that for the first season of the Chinese version of "Running Man", SBS TV must provide full support, and at least 50% of the PD and VJ staff will be allocated to participate in the production. In addition, we It is also necessary to recruit enough staff to follow and study." Jiang Mingliang agreed to the conditions of SBS, but also added some requirements of his own.

SBS TV has no objection. After all, they are getting dividends. Of course, they hope that the Chinese version of "Running Man" will become more and more popular.

The agreement was reached, and the copyright of the Chinese version of "Running Man" for the next ten years fell into Jiang Mingliang's hands. As for the selection of the members of the Chinese version of the men's running team, Zhao Xiaozhen and Qin Zhengwei, the chief PDs of the Korean version, will select the members, first give a list of candidates, and finally Jiang Mingliang will make a decision.

The sideline business is progressing smoothly, and for the Nets, since the team notified the players and staff that the training camp will start on the 25th, starting from the 20th, Stevens, George, Bledsoe, Yi Jianlian and other players have successively entered the training camp. Returned to the team and started recovery training.

Unlike the summer league, whose main purpose is to examine the status and level of players, preseason games are very important for any team as preparations before the regular season. For the Nets, which changed more than half of their teams this summer, the players need to get used to the lineup in just 6 preseason games and get familiar with the team's style of play.

After all members returned to the team on the 25th, Stevens immediately began physical training and tactical training for all players, and he was particularly concerned about the team's defense.

The Nets' performance last season was so poor. In addition to the weak front line, another key point is that the team's defense is really poor. The defensive tacit understanding between players and the lazy defensive habits of some players are all conditions that lead to the collapse of the team's defensive system.

Stevens' tentative starting lineup is Bledsoe, Korver, George, Anderson, Lopez.

Bledsoe and Korver partnered at the back line. Compared with other white shooters, Korver, who has polished himself in the iron army of the Utah Jazz, is much tougher and smarter on defense, and he will not be a colander. Bledsoe, whose wingspan is also enough to make up for the lack of height, can also switch defenses with Korver. The starting small forward is naturally Paul George, who the team focuses on. Shooting and defense are the selling points of George's draft. On the whole, the defensive strength of the three outsiders should rank among the top ten in the league. Anderson at the power forward position will inevitably become the focus of the opponent's attack. However, in training, Anderson's performance against Yi Jianlian is not bad. Of course, other aspects are really weak. Considering that he opens up space on the offensive end The great value of the game can only be covered up by more tactics to cover up his defensive problems. Lopez's defensive awareness and physical condition are not bad. He is not a defensive champion, but it is not a big problem to do his job well.

There are also problems. For example, Bledsoe is too motivated and prone to foul crises. For example, Paul George is thin. When he meets a small forward with excellent physical confrontation, such as Anthony, he may be eaten alive. For example, the insider Lopez is not the kind of defensive pillar that can support the penalty area. When encountering an All-Star insider, the team's insider line is not enough. It is already hard work to be able to recover under the circumstances.

Compared with the team's defensive problems, Stevens has devised several different strategies on the offensive end. Anderson and Korver are two top shooters in their respective positions. Whether it is handing the ball to Lopez to play Inside—out, or using the space opened by two people to have Bledsoe or George pick and roll and play big, there is a certain degree of certainty. Korver is not only a fixed-point shooter, but also has a good grasp of three-pointers while running, which also provides more changes to the team's tactics.

As a fan, as a manager, Jiang Mingliang knows which player can achieve what kind of achievements in the future, but he can only be regarded as a layman in the training situation of the team on the field, and he can't see any way. I only heard Coach Stevens blowing his whistle frequently to stop the game in the group match, and then constantly correcting the wrong choices of Lopez, George and others. In this way, this group of players can quickly understand their tactical intentions .

This kind of training method is very common in colleges, but in NBA teams, players often don't accept the fragmentation of training games. The top type of players, coupled with the absolute support of Jiang Mingliang, allowed Stevens' management to continue.

And after the training game, several assistant coaches also found Stevens and put forward some suggestions to him. Stevens also kept it in mind. For him, the NBA head coach is also a brand new job. , it is not only these players who need to make progress, but also his baby coach.
