Build a Dream Dynasty

At 110:98, the Nets easily defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers, who were aiming for a poor performance at home, and ended their two-game losing streak.

A notable change in the game is that Stevens cut Anderson's playing time. Anderson, who has averaged 31 minutes per game so far this season, only played 24 minutes in this game. The free time was divided between Yi Jianlian and Baines. As the season progressed, the Australian Baynes' performance in the Nets got better and better, and he was also appreciated by Stevens, constantly increasing his playing time.

In addition to the victory, what made the home fans of the Nets even more happy was that the team's main point guard Bledsoe, who had been injured for two weeks, officially returned to the game. He played 27 minutes and scored 9 points. His performance was acceptable.

In the past period of time, Jeremy Lin's performance as the team's main controller can only be said to be barely qualified. Of course, fans don't have much to criticize about him. He was signed as the third point guard. Who would have expected that both point guards of the team were injured, so he could only be put on top. From this perspective, Jeremy Lin's contribution is quite large.

At least so far this season, the voices saying that Jeremy Lin entered the league relying on his alumni relationship with Jiang Mingliang are getting smaller and smaller. It is undeniable that the two Chinese in the team might not have gotten so many opportunities if it weren't for Jiang Mingliang, but as long as the team's performance is good, who cares about it. And Jeremy Lin also used his performance to prove that he is better than players eliminated by the league like Alstom.

Jeremy Lin has gained a firm foothold in the NBA and is on the same team as Yi Jianlian, so it is inevitable that he will receive more attention from the Chinese media. There are even some farsighted people who are already considering the possibility of naturalizing Jeremy Lin. However, unlike Jiang Mingliang, who speaks fluent Chinese, Jeremy Lin's Chinese level only stays at the level of "hello", "thank you", and "I am Jeremy Lin", which greatly increased the sense of distance for the reporters who came to interview.

Yao Ming, who had also noticed that Huaxia basketball was going downhill, also called Jiang Mingliang late at night in Shanghai time and talked about Jeremy Lin.

"Personally, I also expect Jeremy Lin to join the national team, at least to stabilize the hegemony of the national team in Asia. However, Huaxia does not recognize dual citizenship, so it will be more difficult for him to give up his American citizenship." Jiang Mingliang replied.

Jiang Mingliang knew Jeremy Lin's situation in the team very well. Although both are of Chinese descent, Jeremy Lin and Yi Jianlian did not get too close. On the contrary, he personally actively integrated into the team's black culture, and his relationship with Whiteside, Bledsoe, and Danny Green in the team is also That's right, but Yi Jianlian still has a boring personality. Except for training and team building activities that he must participate in, he spends most of his time alone.

Although this is only a matter of personal character and does not represent anything else, it can be seen that Jeremy Lin regards himself as a pure American in his bones. It is impossible to seduce him with chicken soup like "the blood of the descendants of Yan and Huang". If you want to impress him, you just need two words, "benefits".

In the current season, Huaxia basketball can still stand on the top of Asia. Most of the surrounding opponents, except Iran, do not have the strength to compete with the Huaxia team. The leaders of the Basketball Association probably just give it a try manner. Both parties' wishes are not very strong, and this matter cannot be done for the time being. According to Jiang Mingliang's idea, it's best to wait for Yao Ming to take over the position and supervise it himself.

In the last game of January, the Nets went to the road to challenge the 76ers. In this defensive battle between seventh and eighth in the Eastern Conference, the power forward position once again became the seven inches of the Nets. Anderson and Yi Jianlian were blown up by Thaddeus Young of the 76ers. In the first half, the Nets could still rely on the points chased by the bench players to compete, but in the second half of the game, the team completely lost their resistance. Successive battles and exhaustion of boats and cars exhausted a lot of physical energy, and it really couldn't make up for the points lost at the power forward position. In the whole game, Thaddeus Young scored 27 points and his shooting percentage was as high as 58%. (25-24)

The position of the power forward was blown up by opponents in a row. Stevens felt a pressure. After a tight and high-intensity schedule, the Nets now have a record of 25 wins and 24 losses, ranking seventh in the Eastern Conference, ahead of the ninth-ranked The Pacers have won 4 games and seem to have some advantages, but the recent record of 2 wins and 4 losses has sounded the alarm for Stevens. The opponents that the Nets will face have now grasped the team's Weak link, consciously strengthen the attack against the weakness of the Nets' power forward position.

If this problem is not resolved, it will be really hard for the Nets to say this season.

Tell me, what's the use of traveling to the rich second generation? Let's see if they have their own system, a bottle of potion or some other props. How good is it for Yi Jianlian to grow into Garnett? But Jiang Mingliang, at the moment, can only wash the sand with big waves, choosing suitable candidates from players who are not valued by other teams in the league.

Transactions involving insiders are often somewhat difficult. Jiang Mingliang focused on insiders who did not perform well this season, but did not find any suitable players.

When Jiang Mingliang was at a loss, Jerry West, an old Jianghu, played his role. He recommended Jiang Mingliang a candidate who looked very good.

"Carl Landry?" Of course Jiang Mingliang was familiar with the Rockets veteran. However, he averaged 26.6 minutes per game this season, contributed 11 points and 5 rebounds, and has real combat power. However, it is also very difficult to trade.

"The Kings focus on training Cousins ​​and Thompson. Landry has been reduced to a substitute in the Kings, and his contract has only one year left. If we can come up with some bargaining chips, there should be a chance." West said.

In private, he has done some work and learned that the Kings are willing to use Landry as a bargaining chip in exchange for some high-quality contracts or draft picks.

"Anderson?" Jiang Mingliang immediately thought of the main power forward in his team. From the perspective of opening up space for Cousins, Anderson must be more suitable for Cousins ​​than Landry.

"I think they are more interested in Danny Green. Green's defense will help them." West said.

The addition of Tony Allen, a defensive strongman, has improved the Grizzlies' defense. Now the Grizzlies are firmly in the ranks of the Western Conference playoffs. This is a temptation for the Kings who are also in the rebuilding period. Although Danny Green does not have Tony Allen is so good at defense, but he can also be trained as a defensive leader.

"Well, I don't think so." Jiang Mingliang subconsciously shook his head, then sighed again.

"issac, I admit that Danny is a good role player. If he develops smoothly, he will also grow into a qualified starter, but his future will definitely not be in the Nets." West said firmly.

Whether it's Thompson or Leonard, the Nets' goal in the draft will definitely be on the wing position, plus George, who the team focuses on, and Korver, who has a contract with the team, don't talk about the future. Carter is inconclusive, and the competition Danny Green faces is fierce enough.

Can the Nets give Green enough playing time?

"This group of young people need to enter the playoffs!" West said.

The young people have truly entered this league after they have experienced the cruel playoffs!

As a Liverpool fan, today is really sad. I'm so sad that I missed the codeword, and I will make up today's update at three o'clock tomorrow.
