Build a Dream Dynasty

On December 22, 2010, US time, the Knicks reached a three-way deal with the Nuggets and Timberwolves, and Carmelo Anthony officially joined the Knicks from the Nuggets.

The specific trading plan is: Nuggets get Knicks' Wilson Chandler, Raymond Felton, Danilo Gallinari, Timofey Mozgov and Timberwolves' Costa Ku Foss, Knicks 2014 first-round pick, 2012 and 2013 second-round picks; Knicks get Nuggets' Anthony, Chauncey Billups, Anthony Carter, Reinaldo Balkman, Sheldon Williams and Corey Brewer from the Timberwolves; the Timberwolves get Eddie Curry and Anthony Randolph from the Knicks. This big deal involved a total of 13 players from three teams, and the number of deals also tied the NBA's first record.

Everyone knows that Anthony's heart is for the two teams in New York City. His team has also said that even if the contract ends and enters the free agent market, they will choose to sign with the Knicks or the Nets. If the Nuggets don't want to lose Anthony in vain, they must maximize their interests. But no one expected the Nuggets to be so ruthless, completing a comprehensive update of the lineup in one go. As a result, the Nuggets lineup became Ty Lawson, Felton, Gallinari, Chandler, Afranno, Nene, Martin, Mozgov, Anderson. Although civilianized, the depth is amazing enough. The two-year contract of Billups was sent away by the way, making the team's total salary below the luxury tax line, and the team does not have to worry about fines. It is difficult to predict what the outcome of the 2014 draft will be. A spark for the future.

The New York media is even more excited. Anthony, a superstar born in New York, has a huge appeal in the local area. The combination of him, Stoudemire and Billups was directly named the "Big Three", and the spearhead was directed at Miami. The three of the Heat, as for the Nets, this will no longer be in their eyes. With Anthony, wouldn't it be a matter of smashing the Nets?

Even Taylor Swift showed off to Jiang Mingliang in a private message on Twitter, "It seems that we can only talk through private messages on Twitter."

It took more than three hours for Jiang Mingliang to spare time to reply, "Don't worry, the third round is on January 16, and then you will understand how stupid you are."

The conversation has already faintly felt like an old friend. In fact, the two have known each other for only a few days, and the communication is even less.

On December 23, the Nets played their last game before Christmas and visited Boston to challenge last season's Eastern Conference champion Celtics. This round of matchup can be said to be a contest between the oldest team in the league and the youngest team. This game is also particularly thought-provoking. The Celtics showed the young people of the Nets why They were able to make LeBron James escape to Miami, and the constant muscle confrontation and blocking made the Nets' offensive tactics unable to play. The Nets fully exposed their weaknesses of lack of stable offensive methods, and Paul George relied on them for survival The mid-range jumper from the catch and run position dropped sharply in front of the Celtics' iron-blooded defense. He only scored 8 points on 4 of 10 shots. This is also George's score in the game. As the core of a team, In the face of top-level defense, George's offensive methods are still obviously not lethal enough, and cannot provide stable output. This is also a problem he needs to solve in the future.

94:78, while the Nets lost the game, they were also limited to their own lowest score of the season. This group of old guys was taught a solid lesson.

In a sense, this is a common problem of teams without superstars. The veterans of the Celtics can publish books with rich experience. It is easy to catch the painful feet of these young people. Korver and Anderson, two players who were blown up in this game, were attacked by fans on the Internet.

"Countless historical lessons have taught us that when you have the opportunity to trade a few great players for a superstar who can elevate the team to a higher level, don't hesitate. Such opportunities don't come often."

"For a superstar of Anthony's level, only the team has ever built tactics around him. The so-called tactical system that is not suitable for the Nets is just an excuse for issac to cover up his incompetence."

"It feels like Issac just wants to sign in the free market in the summer, and he didn't expect the Knicks to be solo. Well, now watching the Knicks build a very strong lineup, the Nets are no longer their opponents."

"George may be an All-Star in the future, but Anthony is an MVP!"

I have encountered some malicious smears on the Internet, but since Jiang Mingliang took over the work of the Nets, this kind of thing may have been commonplace. It is the basic quality of a public figure to treat the words of netizens as farts. Only people whose minds are full of shit will create a trumpet to chat with netizens.

Moreover, another benefit brought by Jiang Mingliang's operation this time is that it has formed a strong centripetal force within the Nets. For the harmony of the team, this boss can even give up on Anthony. Naturally, everyone doesn't need to worry too much about being traded by the team suddenly and giving up.

It coincides with Christmas, and the Nets have no games since December 23rd. It is not until the 27th that they need to go to Miami to challenge the Heat led by the Big Three. Jiang Mingliang discussed with Stevens and set a period for the players. The three-day holiday allows the players to spend Christmas with peace of mind.

In the conference room of the training ground, Jiang Mingliang held a summary meeting of the whole team before the holiday, and praised the team's outstanding performance so far. The entire conference room was packed with more than 60 people, including logistics. All the staff are here.

Rebuild the team in the ruins and clean up all the players who disobeyed discipline. At present, the relationship between the Nets, the management and the team, the team coach and the players, and the players and the players is very harmonious. After all, it is black. The dominant league does not have a family-like atmosphere, but compared to other teams that are either hierarchical or gang-forming, the Nets are indeed a more harmonious locker room in the league.

The holiday is approaching, and the most annoying thing is that the leader has a meeting to talk nonsense. Although the few players who had already made their party plans were still in the meeting room, their thoughts had drifted away. Fortunately, Jiang Mingliang also came from such a role. He was well aware of the pain of everyone, so he extracted the main points he wanted to say, explained briefly, and then announced the adjournment of the meeting.

Hearing this sentence, everyone applauded and cheered.

"Young man, you are really energetic." Will Craig said to Jiang Mingliang with a smile.

Seeing everyone getting up and preparing to leave, Jiang Mingliang walked up with a smile and said, "It seems that everyone is in a hurry to go home for Christmas, but now I want to waste a little more of your time."

Before everyone could express their objections, Jin League said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't make a long speech. Most companies will reward employees who perform well at Christmas, but for the Nets, everyone here has nothing to say. Undoubtedly outstanding, so you should be rewarded too."

I took out a thick stack of red envelopes from the bag on the side, "There is a tradition in China. On major festivals, the boss or the elders will give red envelopes to the employees. As a reward for your hard work for a year. I am Chinese and I want to send This system was introduced to our team and will become our team’s tradition in the future.”

Then, Jiang Mingliang, the general manager, personally walked up to the players and staff and handed out a red envelope to each of them. The atmosphere of the whole scene was very warm, and everyone was very interested in and satisfied with this unexpected gift.
