Chapter 672 The War Among MVP Candidates

In the case of successively losing the main center and the main small forward, the Nets have maintained a winning streak. More and more players in the team who have not performed well in other teams have performed well in the Nets. After Leonard was injured, Aminu, who was at the top of the small forward position, could only get a basic salary before the season, but after Leonard was injured and put himself in the starting lineup, he averaged 8.9 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.2 steals per game , the most criticized outside shooting hit rate came to 34%. It may be a bit flattering to say that he is qualified 3D, but it should not be a big problem to get a middle-class salary of more than 5 million in the next offseason. Kyle O'Quinn also stood up after Lopez was injured and faced the Trail Blazers. O'Quinn played 17 minutes and scored 7 points and 5 rebounds. That's a good performance for a "top" in the original deal.

Role players can show good performance when they come to the Nets, which will also help the Nets to win good players in the free agent market in the future. As far as it looks at present, Kuyou’s help to his teammates is no less than that of James, who is known for his selflessness and all-roundness. Moreover, the Nets are still in New York. There is no doubt that they will have the highest exposure and publicity if they play well. It's important for players.

The lineup is relatively complete, but Jiang Mingliang is still tirelessly searching for the possibility of continuing to strengthen the team. Even though he is in Bali at this time, while browsing the local scenery, he is also taking the time to check the information, search for suitable candidates, and develop After he really couldn't find any suitable talents in the league, he devoted more energy to the marginal players of other teams, and there were many talents for him to choose from.

Robert Covington, the Houston Rockets' backup small forward. The team's starting small forward is Iguodala. The season's No. 14 rookie TJ Warren occupies the bench position. Covington is more difficult to get playing time. General Kao's technical characteristics are somewhat similar to Aminu's. Excellent physical fitness brings better defensive talent, but the offensive three-pointer is not very stable, and he can defend wings and big men.

Doug McDermott, also a rookie this season, was a shooter with ball-handling ability and strong shooting ability during the NCAA period. But after entering the NBA, the advantage of being able to fight against him no longer exists. At the same time, because of the suppression of Gallinari and Wilson Chandler in the team, he averaged only 7 minutes of playing time per game, and his progress was relatively slow.

Joe Harris, a pure outside shooter type, was selected by the Cavaliers in the second round this season. One of the few rookies who just entered the league has no disadvantages in shooting, but apart from fair shooting and good physique, they basically have no characteristics. It is hard to say whether they are stronger than Novak.

Allen Crabbe, shooting guard, has good size and length, good speed, and a good shot. Considering that the team can adjust Carter to the third position, this is also a good option.

There are many options, but it is really not easy to make a deal. The Nets are so good at developing the potential of players that other teams are really unwilling to make deals with them.

"issac!" The sightseeing car drove to a certain scenic spot and happened to see Ouyang Mi, who immediately yelled and stopped Jiang Mingliang. Immediately got on the sightseeing car.

"You are still busy with work when you come to Bali, no wonder you are getting richer and richer!" Ouyang Mi said enviously.

Sighing, Jiang Mingliang said: "The past year has not been very smooth for me. The third season of "Signal of Heartbeat" failed, and the team has no hope of winning the championship this year. Really, it can be regarded as a year of failure for me. .”

The third season of "Heartbeat Signal" was said to be a smash, but "Running Man", "This Is Slam Dunk", and the first season of "Gossip Girl" all sold at a high price. It is also above 140 million, and the newly developed variety show "Hahahahaha" has also been successfully approved, and successfully invited Deng Chao, Chen Chichi, and Lu Han to participate. Is this considered a failure? As for the NBA failing to win the championship, it would be even more ridiculous. In fact, after successfully winning the championship in the first year of coming to New York, the team's ticket price for the second season increased by 13%, and the total ticket revenue increased compared with last season. 18%, just talking about the regular season, there is no problem for the team's profit to reach a new high, not to mention that the team does not need to pay the luxury tax this year, which saves a sum of expenses. The profit guarantee is also more than 140 million US dollars, not to mention that the market value of the team has reached 2.4 billion US dollars. Considering the superiority of New York assets, the premium is 40%, and selling 3.5 billion US dollars is not a problem at all. Is this considered a failure? Enough of Versailles!

Although Liu Wei is not considered a hero among men, objectively speaking, his conditions are already good in all aspects, but compared with Jiang Mingliang, it is really a big difference.

Ouyang Mi didn't hesitate any longer, ignoring the lack of privacy of the sightseeing car and the fact that Bali was full of acquaintances, he put his arms around Jiang Mingliang's neck and kissed him passionately.

"If you're married, you should be responsible for your family. I bought an option on a property in Repulse Bay for 25 million. You can pay another 50 million to get it. It's a wedding gift for you."

Ouyang Mi couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing: "Do you think if I really want to return to my family, would I choose him?"

Why Ouyang Mi chose to get married at this point in time is also something that Jiang Mingliang is quite puzzled about. If Ouyang Mi wants to continue the relationship with him, it seems that staying single or at least unmarried is a good thing for two people. Originally thought that the other party was pregnant and forced to hold a wedding, but at present, it seems that there is no such thing.

"He treats me very well, and he also wants my wife, who is as beautiful as a flower, to put his studio under the name of Jiaxing and put the economic lifeline in my hands. It is his sincerity. I also think so. It’s time to complete lifelong events, and then devote myself to career.” Ouyang Mi said.

She is destined to be unable to marry Jiang Mingliang. Instead of waiting until the age of 30 and being dubbed a "leftover woman" by the media and black fans, it is better to take advantage of the end of the 20th generation to complete the lifelong event. To be honest, marriage in China is becoming less and less binding on both men and women at this stage, and the effect of a marriage certificate is really not high, far less than money.

Ouyang Mi's meaning seemed to be obvious, the two of them should make an appointment in the future~, Jiang Mingliang thought for a while, and naturally put his hand on Ouyang Mi's thigh.

"Then let's continue to cooperate. The real estate in Repulse Bay will remain as your wedding gift. You want to buy it for him and his family to live in. It's okay to be your filial piety as a daughter-in-law. You can buy it and rent it out." It's fine, or I don't care if you just cash out. You see." Jiang Mingliang also gave Ouyang Mi three choices for the water splashed out of the gift he sent out, and he let him dispose of it.

The conditions were settled, and it was lunch time. Jiang Mingliang did not go back to the hotel with Ouyang Mi. He was not afraid of being seen by Liu Wei's relatives and friends as bad for Ouyang Mi, but because he didn't want Pan Zhengru to ruin their relationship. Although Pan Zhengru was well aware of the relationship between the two people, but he wanted to try to get his ex-girlfriend back, so some "misunderstandings" could be avoided.

. . . . . .

In the second match against the Bucks this season, the strength comparison between the two sides was pulled to a level. Now the two sides are ranked second and fourth in the Eastern Conference, and the lineup structure is also relatively similar, with the point guard as the core to guide the development of the team's tactics. If there is any difference, Paul needs to control the ball more, while Curry's play is more casual.

At the same time, this is also a battle between the top two players on the MVP list this season. Before the season, except for Jiang Mingliang, no one thought that the Bucks could go from second to last in the Eastern Conference to fourth in the Eastern Conference last season. You must know that, except for Paul, the team did not have any important signings, just reinforcements. I took a look at the team's bench lineup, and Middleton, Antetokounmpo, and Sanders have all improved significantly this season, and these are also attributed to Paul by the media. The changes that Paul brought to the Bucks are quite similar to the changes that Nash brought to the team after joining the Suns. And Curry is like the situation when Nash won the second MVP. There were constant injuries in the team, and he led the team to move forward alone.

The battle for the first point guard, the MVP battle, and the rivalry in the Eastern Conference. This game was given a lot of additional meaning by the media, and TNT temporarily adjusted it to a national live broadcast game.

With the whistle of the referee, the two teams assembled in the middle circle. This time, it was Porzingis and Sanders who jumped the ball. Originally, Stevens thought that Porzingis could use his jumping and wingspan to win. When playing this jump ball, I didn't expect that the ball would be won by Sanders in the end.

The first wave of possession belonged to the Bucks. After winning the jump ball, the home fans cheered loudly. Paul, on the other hand, carefully controlled the ball. He was not prepared to advance quickly. Facing the Nets without Lopez, he must not play a fast-paced attack with them.

But if they don't play fast-paced offense, the Bucks sacrifice their own characteristics. Antetokounmpo will become a burden to compress the team's offensive space in positional battles. Although facing Aminu, he has both height and wingspan. The advantage, but the lack of shooting ability makes Aminu as long as he gets stuck in the position and does not lose his position, the threat of Antetokounmpo is the same. After all, Antetokounmpo this season is just a potential rookie, not the MVP in the future. In terms of strength, impact, including physical coordination and control, he is far behind.

In fact, the incompatibility between Paul and Antetokounmpo was beyond Jiang Mingliang's expectations. Paul's excessive possession of the ball made Antetokounmpo's development trajectory a bit off. On the defensive end, Antetokounmpo relied on his mobility, wingspan and awareness of assisting defense to become a very unique defender. Not bad, but on the offensive end, except for the fast break and the second offense after rushing to grab the rebound, Antetokounmpo can only score points when he finds an opportunity to play big and small, and the scoring methods are scarce at other times.

Jiang Mingliang felt that Antetokounmpo was difficult to practice and didn't want to delay him, so he didn't choose him to the Nets. As a result, the Bucks came with Paul, who had more possession of the ball, and he might ruin his own MVP.

In fact, if Paul joins the Bucks 17 years later and assists in leveling, it may be a good decision to become the MVP Antetokounmpo, but when two people meet in this state, Antetokounmpo can only adapt to Paul awkwardly. How should I put it, Jiang Mingliang even felt that there might be a chance to get Brother Antetokounmpo someday~ Anyway, in the league, the Bucks are also considered allies.

Paul came to the top of the three-point arc after halftime, facing Curry's defense, and directly distributed the ball to Middleton on the right at 45 degrees, and the moment Kobe received the ball, Antetokounmpo on the left also Cut from the left to the bottom corner on the right, and Paul moved 4 to the left to make up for the gap left by Antetokounmpo, while Ilyasova pulled to the right, and the running position of his teammates helped Middleton Pulling the defensive formation apart, Sanders stepped forward to pick and roll, and Middleton singled out Porzingis to step back and score.

If it is said that in the Bucks team, Antetokounmpo's talent was suppressed because of Paul's joining, then the one who benefited most from Paul is Middleton, whether it is catching and shooting or taking a step back after holding the ball, Middleton's shooting touch can be guaranteed to be good, and his style of play is very suitable for Paul. If he replaces Redick in the Clippers' lineup, the Clippers will be more likely to do more.

Before the home fans had time to be happy, the Nets quickly fought back. After Curry and Porzingis picked and rolled, Porzingis cut to the basket, received a pass from Curry, and sent the ball to the left corner With a push, Aminu hit a three-pointer with no one outside the corner three-point line.

Aminu's three-point shooting rate is only 34%, which is only a qualified level, but the three-point shooting rate from the bottom corner has reached 39%, which is not bad.

The Bucks attacked, and Paul made a very light hand-hand pass to Antetokounmpo, who successfully reversed the run. The latter faced Boshen's defense and forced a layup, causing Boshen's foul.

Steadily making two free throws, the Bucks exceeded the score again.

The Nets' offense, Dream Chasing Green's slight weakness of stretching space on the offensive end was exposed by the Bucks. It is very important for Green to rediscover the somewhat accurate shooting in college, including the first year of the Nets. Skills are all about defense and confrontation!

On the Bucks side, Paul's personal offense has also gone off the rails. Facing Curry's defense, he used Curry's method to make a three-pointer, and then directed his teammates to return to the defense, strangling the Nets' intention to launch a transitional attack.

In the Bucks' defensive system, Antetokounmpo's defense is extremely important, and it is also very important for Paul to constantly use his voice to direct his teammates to block positions on the defensive end. It is said that Rondo has the role of an on-field coach. In fact, Paul is not far behind in this regard. It's just that it's not as good as Ron Duoduo in terms of famous scenes.

Antetokounmpo's supplementary defense interfered with Curry's shot to a large extent. As a last resort, Curry sent a pass that threw the pot, handed the ball to JR, ran towards the opponent, and took the ball back. , with Antetokounmpo's long arm waving over again, he didn't lock the basket, and made a shot entirely by feeling.

"Shua!" Curry hit a three-pointer, helping the team narrow the point difference to 1 point.
