Build a Dream Dynasty

After staying in Brazil for eight days, Jiang Mingliang finally settled all matters related to Neymar's transfer and returned to New York. To describe his mood at the moment, it can only be said that he was relaxed for a while.

Dealing with the management of various teams in the NBA, no matter whether it is a careful calculation or a heroic one, at least everyone is doing things under the same rules of the game. Although there are some PY transactions secretly, generally speaking, everyone always has something to do. Past. Compared with the various yin and yang contracts and illegal operations in South America, it is much better.

On the first night Jiang Mingliang returned to New York, he came to the Continental Airlines Center Arena to watch the game between the Nets and the Trail Blazers.

The Portland Trail Blazers have a poor record this season. Obviously, the team got Lillard, the best outside player in this draft, and Aldridge, the most offensive insider in the Mesozoic era, and the role players also have considerable statistics. Contribution, but the team's record just can't improve. In the final analysis, it's on the team's center JJ Hickson. Looking at the data alone, Hickson is a qualified starting center. In 29 minutes of playing time per game, he can get 13 points and 7 rebounds, and his shooting percentage has reached 56%. Although he is not tall enough, he has no physical confrontation at all. It's a disadvantage, and the technology is quite skilled. But anyone who has watched the game and can understand the way knows how selfish and cancerous Hickson's style of play is. To put it simply, he will not make an effort for contributions that cannot be reflected in statistics. Blocking shots and ignoring the frame, the positioning of the basket is a mess, and the pick-and-roll for teammates will limit the options of teammates. With the configuration of Lillard, Matthews, Batum, and Aldridge in the Trail Blazers, even Even if it is paired with a Perkins who was sprayed into a rubbish contract in the Thunder, he can firmly squeeze into the ranks of the playoffs. If he is lucky, he can hit the second round. However, such a brush is used at the center position. What happened was that the Blazers' defense was already in place, and Hickson only needed to take a little more step and apply a little more confrontation to complete a successful defense, but he let the opponent complete the score so lazily. How much this kind of performance affects the morale of teammates, needless to say.

After the opening, the Nets decisively seized Hickson's "laziness" to make a fuss. Lopez frequently came out to pick and roll for Curry and Fernandez. Hickson, who had extremely bad defensive habits, either failed to expand In time, Curry seized the opportunity to shoot a three-pointer, or the retreat was not timely or Curry's fake move was shaken, and the Nets' offense was fully opened at the beginning.

The duel between Curry and Lillard, the new generation of point guards, ended with Curry's victory at the beginning. More and more data prove that Curry is already one of the best attackers in the league. Although his average of 27.9 points per game "only" ranks third in the scoring list, Curry's playing time is better than that of the two seasons. The scoring leader Durant is much lower, and in terms of true shooting percentage, Curry is also better than Durant, who is known for his "efficiency". Regardless of the long-term accumulation of popularity, Curry is already at the superstar level players.

The defensive end can't restrain Curry, but fortunately, the Trail Blazers team is tough and efficient enough on the offensive end. A power forward like Aldridge, who has the ability to play back-to-back singles and is tall and long, is the nemesis of insiders like West. He can use his height to play hard, and he can use his iconic straight-arm jumper to score from mid-range , Aldridge's performance made Jiang Mingliang really envious. To be honest, even Griffin, who is more talented, does not have more solid skills, and Aldridge, who is more practical, likes Jiang Mingliang. Although Lillard was overwhelmed by Curry in the opening direct dialogue, after entering the rotation time, Lillard insisted on staying on the court, facing the Nets' backup point guard Livingston, the output was as fierce as a tiger, 4 shots They scored 6 points in a row in 3 and narrowed the point difference to 4 points at the end of the first quarter.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Stevens replaced Livingston with Reggie Jackson. Compared with Livingston, who was obviously disadvantaged in footsteps as a defensive point guard, Reggie Jackson kept up with his feet, and physical confrontation was beneficial to his rookie year. Lard is not at a disadvantage either. A good wingspan can also interfere with Lillard's shooting. Although it is unable to prevent the opponent's stats from rising, it at least reduces the opponent's shooting rate. Reggie Jackson also clearly knows his position in the team, and he has done a good job of completing the work arranged by Stevens. This may also be an unexpected joy of the team's deal.

Insufficient bench strength is another factor restricting the results of this Trail Blazers team. In addition to the obvious physical decline and the lack of shooting ability of Gerald Wallace, who has been targeted more and more, the Blazers bench has no suitable firepower. Jiang Guang's young guards are walking and injured. The current situation is really bad. Trail Blazers coach Stotts saw Barnes and Ray Allen on the field can easily complete the scoring. Maybe I will be very envious too.

Of course, the development of the Blazers is also a lesson for the Nets. How to make good use of the talents of young players and strive for the highest honor is the most important thing. Once the morale of the youth military team is broken, or the contract benefit period for new balls in the team ends, the window to win the championship will be greatly reduced, while the rookie contract benefits of the Nets focus on Leonard.

The substitute lineup widened the point difference between the two sides to 12 points. Curry and Leonard reappeared, while Lopez was placed on the bench due to some discomfort in the first game. Yi Jianlian replaced him at the center Location.

Since the Nets have already begun to face the saturation of salary space next season, during the offseason, some players whose contracts expire may not necessarily stay in the team, such as Baynes and Yi Jianlian, there is a high probability that only one of them will be stay in line. Comparatively speaking, Baynes is more popular in the market and has a higher probability of getting a big contract. Therefore, Stevens is also balancing the playing time of Yi Jianlian and Baynes, which is also an investigation of Yi Jianlian.

How to put it, if the price is right, Yi Jianlian, who can serve as two inside positions, has served in the Nets for many years, and can meet the needs of the boss development market, is a good option for the Nets with insufficient salary space.

Facing Hickson, Yi Jianlian performed surprisingly well on the defensive end. He had a certain advantage in speed and jumping, and his strength was not obvious. However, on the offensive end, Yi Jianlian's monotonous offensive routine was also defeated by Hickson. As far as I can see, I didn't take advantage of it.

Fortunately, Yi Jianlian does not need to undertake too many offensive tasks. On the court, he is only the last offensive choice of the five players on the Nets. The space brought out by Curry's own gravity can still allow him to It can also show off occasionally, eat a cake, and make domestic fans excited.
