Build a Dream Dynasty
Chapter 721 The preseason is coming (12:05)
If you don't take into account the unfavorable factor that Durant and the team have been separated, from the book point of view, the Thunder should be the strongest team this season. The team held their noses in the summer and renewed the Turk Kanter with a 4-year 70 million contract, ensuring that the team's most reliable scoring points outside of Durant and Westbrook will stay on the team, strengthening the team even if it is 1% hope of winning, and Livingston, Waiters, Ray Allen, Singler, West, Kanter, this bench lineup is really strong.
Of course, it just looks. The dismal performance of Ray Allen and West in the Thunder last season is incomparable with that of the Nets, which more or less confirms one thing. It is not easy to be a role player for the Thunder. In many cases, poor performance is not just about their own lack of strength. The Thunder's two young players, especially Westbrook, are not easy to serve.
The more intense competition in the West is also an uneasy factor for the Thunder. Last season, the strength of the Eastern Conference team improved significantly. However, in the playoffs, the Raptors, who seemed to have two strokes, were swept by gentlemen in front of the bloody Nets. In fact, the Young Guards only carried one against James. field. If both teams can stay healthy this season, at least they won't face much challenge in the first round of the playoffs. And the West is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and it's not easy to fight every round.
The time came to September, and there was still a month before the team regrouped. Other players of the Nets, except for Porzingis and Nurkic who participated in the European Championship, began to return to New York one after another. , although he did not resume training immediately, he has already begun to adjust his state and focus on the next long season.
The team's lineup has changed a lot this season. Dinwiddie, Royce O'Neal, Joe Harris, Pierce, Nurkic, and Perry Jones are all new additions to the team. Among them, in addition to Pierce, Nurkic can ensure stability at the beginning of the new season. Except for his playing time, other people's opportunities must be won by himself. Whoever performs well will get more opportunities to play.
Teams with more young people have stronger centripetal force. Although the Nets have cultivated many outstanding young people, there are also many who were sent away without getting many opportunities here. Everyone competes fairly and the fittest survive.
In the predictions of various media for the new season, the 76ers, Thunder, and Nets are also ranked in the top three. Well, the Nets are in third place.
No way, compared to last season, the Nets' lineup seems to have weakened a bit, especially the departure of Lopez, which is a big loss in the eyes of the media and experts. Although Da Luo is a bit fragile, as long as he enters the playoffs in a healthy state, the Nets will be the champions! Of course, he insisted on asking for a maximum salary at the beginning, and the matter of his bad relationship with Jiang Mingliang was also revealed, which made it easier for Jiang Mingliang to encounter some criticism.
However, the Nets have always done a good job in developing the potential of young people. At least the young man Nurkic, the media is also optimistic that he can play and grow into a qualified substitute. After all, if the Bulls hadn't been too strong inside and too many people last season, Nurkic wouldn't have performed like this. He was completely delayed by the team.
In fact, the strength of the 76ers has also declined compared to last season, but who will let them have the media darling James? When Curry led the team to win the championship, he could at most be lifted to keep pace with James, and when James won the championship, except for Danzi, other fans in the league should stop being human. This is why even though the Thunder lost to James and Curry once in the playoffs, you have to let the Thunder fans choose one or the other, and they would rather support the Nets.
Zhan Huang is in trouble, praise from all directions!
The media ranked the Nets as the third favorite, but Jiang Mingliang didn't think so. After visiting the players' spontaneous training camp, Jiang Mingliang was confident that the Nets would be the number one favorite in the new season.
Why do you suddenly have this confidence, because Leonard upgraded himself again in the summer. On the offensive end, his ability to kill the inside line with the ball has been further improved. When attacking with the ball, he no longer relies so much on mid-range jumpers, and his confidence in facing the frame has greatly increased. Meanwhile, Leonard lost ten pounds over the summer to ease the pressure on his knees.
James switched from the Heat James to the 76ers James, and Leonard doesn't need to continue to carry such a heavy weight. After all, it is indeed a lot of pressure on the knees, and in the past few years, in order to fight against James, Leonard's weight gain has indeed been excessive, and it is a good thing to correct it in time.
A steadily upgraded Leonard, a
Although Jiang Mingliang intends to exchange Leonard for Durant, this is an inevitable choice in business. Compared with Durant, Leonard is indeed a little less talented. If Durant joins, the Nets' backcourt and flanks are all the first in the league, and it can even be said to be the first in the league. In addition, in terms of commercial value, the two people are not the same. The city of New York often needs players to talk about, and Leonard is by Curry's side, so much like Pippen! He's not as big as Pippen's dick, which would make Madonna feel good.
On the other hand, apart from Durant, no one in the league Jiang Mingliang is willing to trade Leonard. Whether it is the son of the United States, brother thick eyebrows, or the white monster Griffin, they will not be considered.
September is busy for Jiang Mingliang. In this month, a very important thing is the team's new season ticket sales. Last season, because of the double blessing of the championship and MVP+FMVP, the team's Ticket prices have increased by as much as 13%, with the average price of a package exceeding $6,800 and the lowest price exceeding $4,200. In this season, on this basis, there has been an increase of 6.5%, and the average ticket price of the package has come to $7,250.
Objectively speaking, after the Nets came to the Nets, relying on the team's good performance, gorgeous style of play, beautiful team stadium, high popularity of Curry, and handsome Jiang Mingliang, the ticket price increase was a bit too fast. But, the consumption power of the city of New York is definitely not covered, as long as you provide the best service, no matter how much money New Yorkers can afford.
The Knicks next door have been feeding the fans shit for so many years. Their average ticket price this year is 8,400 US dollars, which is a lot higher than the Nets.
In addition to Jiang Mingliang's constant concern for the ticket sales situation, his remaining thoughts were more on the preparations for the wedding. Although there is a planning company to help with everything, there are also many things that need to be coordinated and resolved by himself.
For example, on October 24, who in the Nets team can go to Venice to attend Jiang Mingliang's wedding. In terms of personal relationship, the only ones in the team who can really talk about personal friendship with Jiang Mingliang are Curry and Stevens, but whether it is the head coach going to the wedding at the beginning of the season, or Curry flying to Venice alone , are obviously not suitable.
After communicating in private, the two finally chose Daju as their priority and stayed in New York to prepare for the new season.
After the time came to October, the NBA's preseason game officially started. Although it was not included in the score, the preseason game at least announced the official return of the NBA after an absence of fans for more than three months. Restored the appearance of the crowd in the season.
The team's opponent in the first game of the preseason is the Bulls who have completely entered the reconstruction. The Bulls had a drastic change in the lineup during the offseason. They sent Derrick Rose, the windy city rose who was unwilling to help young people, in exchange for Reggie Jackson of the Knicks. I don’t know what the significance of this deal is. Reggie Jackson There are still three years left on his big contract, with a total value of 45 million US dollars. It is not too much to say that it is smelly and long. However, in the case of securing the starting position, Reggie Jackson is still a point guard who is willing to pass the ball, which is more suitable for Parker and Okafor. Reggie Jackson, Jordan Crawford, Jabari Parker, Pau Gasol, Okafor, the Bulls' lineup looks pretty good, it mainly depends on how far the dual-core has grown.
For the Nets, this game continued to hide Curry and Porzingis. Taylor Johnson and Nurkic got the chance to start. The other three starters were the main players of last season. Whether Leonard, who has been injured for most of the season, is worth the huge contract the team offered him, and how he can perform in the new season is also the focus of many fans.
However, no matter whether it is Leonard, who is back from injury, or Curry, who is sitting on the sidelines, the half-time attention of the game is not as high as that of Jessica who is sitting next to Jiang Mingliang. After all, she is a bride, and she is married to the most top-notch diamond king, and she has become the envy of girls all over the world, so she must be very eye-catching.
If the United States or China also had Japan's "most annoying woman list", Jessica would most likely be on the list, just like Kimura Takuya's wife Shizuka Kudo.
Seeing her figure frequently appearing on the big screen, Jessica herself was very calm and even enjoyed it. After all, he is an artist, so he will not feel any discomfort with the camera. And her generous performance has also attracted a lot of fans for her. It seems that Jessica can completely cover this situation.
After the start of the game, the focus of attention of the audience returned to the field. After Leonard made his debut, he first suppressed Parker on the defensive end. Parker, who was very eager to take the initiative to attack, couldn't find anything with his excellent strength and confrontation. Cheap. On the defensive end, Anthony's one-handed back play also made it difficult for Parker to parry. Leonard's performance justified his name. In the new season, he will continue to be the most indispensable helper around Curry, providing another subtraction when the team's offense is restricted.
In addition to Leonard, the performance of other young people in the Nets team is not bad. Joe Harris shot over 50 percent from 3-point range, which should be cause for celebration. Nurkic, in 24 minutes of playing time. Scored a double-double of 15+11, it should be said that the performance is still good for this length of time.
Dinwiddie was a surprise. Dinwiddie, who came off the bench, scored 9 points in 16 minutes. The data can only be okay, but the performance is not what the data can reflect.
As for the Bulls, there are currently many problems. Okafor does have a skill on the offensive end. Several defensive players of the low-post strong Nets team are very painful, but on the defensive end, Okafor is also a complete disaster. Frame protection, assist defense, pick-and-roll defense, none of the indicators are up to standard. Even the best low-post top man was suppressed enough by Nurkic.
This inside line is very anti-trend. This is why the Lakers with the No. 2 pick would rather have Russell than this kind of Okafor. Even the Timberwolves, who have always had a poor draft vision, were not challenged and persisted.
Of course, Russell is not a vacancy that is more in line with modern trends. His movement speed is too slow, and he will definitely suffer in the backcourt. The Lakers chose him because his shooting looks a bit like Curry, but Mengshen's other skills are also top-notch except for three-pointers. Russell, the shortcomings are too obvious.
In the whole game, Parker played 27 minutes and scored 29 points. Even if the team lost, it didn't affect him to win the best of the game. But what makes Jiang Mingliang even more regretful is that Parker's playing is not usually desperate, even in the preseason, he is going all out.
This kind of usage is actually not suitable for a young man. As a head coach, he should really warn his players not to destroy his body like this.
The two rookies in 2014, Wiggins obviously has a beast-like physical fitness, and he is a stroke of luck in playing basketball. Conversely, Parker's body couldn't withstand such use at all, but he still consumed his talent,
After the game, Jiang Mingliang, who was about to leave the field, was also stopped by ESPN reporters and asked about his marriage.
He gestured towards Jessica, motioning her to wait for him a moment. After appeasing his wife, Jiang Mingliang immediately informed the reporter of the plan that could be revealed during the wedding.
The wedding is approaching, and it can be seen that Jiang Mingliang is in a good mood, without any signs of being forced to marry, and will turn his head to look at Jessica from time to time, giving her affirmative eyes.
Suddenly, Jiang Mingliang noticed something was wrong, and was about to react, when he suddenly felt his head was wet, and then he was poured a chill.
Something was wrong, the reporter in charge of the interview subconsciously stayed away to avoid harming Chi Yu. Jiang Mingliang's reaction was already very fast, and he couldn't bear the Red Bull players' mental calculations, and they were athletes after all, and their physical fitness was really good.
"Haha~" Jessica shouldn't have laughed. But when Jiang Mingliang was so embarrassed, I really felt it when I watched it once in a while.
Fortunately, Jiang Mingliang's office has a kitchen and bathroom, so it's not difficult to change and wash before leaving.
Putting on a fresh set of clothes again, Jiang Mingliang took Jessica's hand and left the arena.
