Build a Dream Dynasty
Chapter 2 Jiang Mingliang's ambition
Objectively speaking, the current situation of the Nets is really not optimistic. From the perspective of an NBA team, this team has no star players, loses the support of fans, and is almost zero attractive to big-name players. Bruce Ratner just couldn't see any hope, so he was willing to propose the idea of selling the Nets to the league at this time.
But in Jiang Shixiao's view, competitive sports is full of unpredictability. It not only refers to the performance on the court, but also represents the success or failure in business. The Nets' ball market has deteriorated. Although the team's imminent relocation to New York will cause harm to New Jersey fans, isn't the team's dismal record at the same time not responsible? If the team's poor record can be reversed through reasonable operation, is the Nets' foundation really that bad?
The attraction of New York to Jiang Shixiao is another factor that makes him tempted.
"For the acquisition of the Nets, I have already submitted a bidding application to the NBA. At the same time, I have also contacted Deloitte to evaluate the current situation of the Nets. It is estimated that there will be a result in two weeks." Back home, Jiang Shixiao sent his son He called to the study and informed him of his decision.
"Thank you, Dad." Jiang Mingliang's joy was beyond words.
A live-action basketball manager game? Jiang Mingliang has already seen that he has left his name in the history of the NBA, at least the history of the Nets.
With his status and vision as a traveler, even if the Nets have no attraction to introduce any big names this summer, it is enough to make this team a team that can hit the playoffs. After all, the formation of the Big Three in Miami has dealt a heavy blow to the Eastern Conference teams. Historically, these were also the most exaggerated years when the West was strong and the East was weak. In addition to the Pacers, Bulls, and Celtics, even many teams have given up hope of overthrowing the Heat.
"But I'm still hesitant about whether to let you run the business." Immediately afterwards, Jiang Shixiao poured cold water on Jiang Mingliang.
"dad!"
"Listen to me." Jiang Shixiao stretched out his hand to suppress his son's argument, "Rebuilding a team is not as simple as you think."
"I am confident that as long as I take the lead, the team will see improvement soon." Jiang Mingliang said confidently.
In the United States, you have to have self-confidence. The more rampant you are within a reasonable range, the better. If you are humble, he will think you have no confidence.
"Of course, I will give you the right. But I only allow you to fail for one season. Before 2012, if the team still cannot make the playoffs, then you will abdicate." This has always been what Jiang Shixiao told Jiang Mingliang Planning, allowing him to fail once.
The old man's promise obviously gave Jiang Mingliang more confidence. With the advantage of traveling back, if you can't manage a team well for two years, what face is there to be written into the novel with other children of destiny who have traveled through the plane?
"If the team fails to enter the playoffs within two years, then I will listen to you in the future, and I will do whatever you ask me to do."
From this sentence, Jiang Mingliang's fate is also closely linked with the Nets' fate.
,,,,,,,
Unlike general industrial transactions, which are purely negotiated between the buyer and the seller, the acquisition of the NBA team has a lot more intermediary interests. If you want to buy an NBA team, it usually needs to be divided into four steps-NBA Board of Directors voting, team value assessment, transaction forecast and buyer qualification review.
According to the relevant regulations of the NBA, the transfer of a team must be approved by the board of directors. The owners of the other 29 teams hold a voting right and can only proceed with the next transfer procedure after receiving at least 22 votes in favor.
After Jiang Shixiao officially launched the acquisition plan for the Nets, the next step is to organize this acquisition, and organize a meeting of the owners of the other 29 teams to discuss this matter.
Thirty teams and thirty owners in the league compete with each other on the field, but they are actually partners in business. The commercial success of American sports leagues lies in the fact that rather than attacking each other and weakening their opponents, they prefer to have strong partners to join in and make the pie bigger. Jiang Shixiao is well-known in the investment world and has a good financial situation. He has great hopes of passing the council vote.
Especially, when Jiang Shixiao's main competitor is Prokhorov, a rich man from Russia, he has an even more advantage.
Americans' rejection of Russians is inherent.
Once the acquisition was launched, Jiang Mingliang himself started research on the Nets. There is a saying that the three armies have not moved, food and grass go first, and preparations are made in advance, so that everything can be in your own hands at the beginning of taking over.
Jiang Mingliang found out the lineup of the Nets this season. Looking at the players above, he couldn't help but feel emotional. Really, fortunately, he is a professional fan, not the kind of star lover who only chases stars. Players can count on one hand.
The team roster is as follows
PG: Devin Harris (contract 2 years, 18 million), Chris Quinn (contract expires)
SG: Kenyon Dooling (expiring contract), Chris Douglas Roberts (two-year, $2.1 million team option), Courtney Lee (two-year, $4.5 million team option)
SF: Trenton Hassel (contract expires), Jarvis Hayes (contract expires), Bobby Simmons (contract one year 9.5 million), Tyrese Williams (1+2, team options, 6.9 million)
PF: Yi Jianlian (3 million in 1 year), Najera (contract expires), Tony Barty (contract expires), Josh Boone (contract expires)
C: Brook Lopez (2 years, 7.2 million)
To put it bluntly, in this lineup, in addition to Lopez and Courtney Lee, there is at most one Devin Harris who can only play well in Dallas. The team can only be said to be at the water dispenser level. It may be acceptable to have two or three players like this in a team. A whole team is full of players of this level, and it is only natural that the league is at the bottom.
At the point guard position, Quinn will definitely not be able to renew his contract. In this year's draft, Chinese-American point guard Jeremy Lin will participate in the draft. Although he was unsuccessful in the end, he finally got a contract from the Warriors. As a substitute, it is better to take care of his compatriots for others, and from the perspective of development, Jeremy Lin is indeed worth investing in. If Jeremy Lin can show a good performance, it is not impossible to be promoted to the second point guard position. As for Harris, if it can be used as a bargaining chip to trade to a suitable candidate, then trade, otherwise, let's use it first.
As a shooting guard, Du Lin is definitely going to leave, and Jiang Mingliang does not plan to keep Roberts. There are some practical players in this position, whether it is in the draft or in the free agent market, and Courtney Lee guarantees the bottom line, so it should be good. .
The two forward positions are the hardest-hit areas of the team. The strength of the forward players is weak, and they are beaten by opponents every day. This is the main reason for the New Jersey Nets' performance collapse. This position is the focus of the Nets' summer reinforcements. Even if you can't come to James, at least you have to introduce a name with enough weight. For example, in the draft, both George and Hayward can be made.
As a compatriot, Yi Jianlian was a difficult problem for Jiang Mingliang to deal with. After all, he is a Chinese person deep in his heart. Jiang Mingliang absolutely hopes to give Yi Jianlian a chance to make full progress in the NBA, improve his level, and win glory for the country. But the reality is that although he has played a good 12+7 this season, his 42% shooting rate as an insider and his vitreous physique with frequent injuries and only played 52 games are unacceptable for any manager. Poor left-handed ball skills lead to a single offensive line, and the characteristics of being too long and easy to be interfered are also objective. Even if he added his own emotional factors, Jiang Mingliang could only guarantee to keep him in the team as a substitute insider. If he was dissatisfied, after the one-year contract expired, they would talk if they agreed, and break up if they disagreed.
There is no suspense at the center position, Brook Lopez is already the boss of the Nets. Solid offensive skills, good positioning awareness, and a team player who helps his teammates get rebounds is not perfect, but he is definitely the team's treasure right now.
Thinking about it, Jiang Mingliang suddenly remembered that he hadn't figured out who would be the head coach. He is the management team. Although he knows a lot more about the future than everyone else, he is just a fan after all. Different players are suitable for different styles of play, and the key depends on the coach's preferences.
Popovich? Carlisle? Rivers? Don't even think about it, the precedent for the draft pick to change the head coach only started in 2014. And the Nets' pick is a treasure. Besides, even if he gets the draft pick, as long as these guys don't think too hard, they won't agree to come over. They're both on championship teams.
Cole? He is not the head coach now, he is the general manager and management of the Suns. More money, less work, closer to home, let alone come to the Nets.
Old Coach K? Jiang Mingliang was a little worried about betting the future of the Nets on him as he had never been in the NBA all his life.
College coach, college coach! Thinking of a college coach, Jiang Mingliang suddenly thought of a person, a name that future Nets fans would not want to see, Brad Stevens. This coach is capable, whether it is on-the-spot tactics or training newcomers, he is very good at it. The data proves that during the time when Stevens coached the Celtics, the Celtics were the best team in the league for key shots, not one of them. There have been no top 10 stars in the league for a long time. Why did the Celtics perform so brilliantly during this "superstar exclusive time"? The answer lies in Stevens' tactics.
As for employing personnel, whether it is Evan Turner, who is old-fashioned and against the trend of the times, or Thomas Jr., who has a natural defect in height and ranks last in the league in defensive efficiency, he has played a masterpiece of his career under Stevens. The player got the biggest contract in his career, one entered the second team of the league's best team, and became the strongest 175 on the surface of the fans.
The more Jiang Mingliang thought about it, the more he felt it was suitable, and he shouted excitedly, "I'm looking for him."
