Build a Dream Dynasty

The charm of basketball games is that sometimes the individual abilities of the stars can determine the outcome of the game. The Nets and Trail Blazers faced each other on the offensive end at the beginning of the game. Due to the injuries encountered by the lineup, the Nets appropriately reduced the confrontation on the defensive end, especially the two core players Curry and Leonard. , On the defensive end, there are reservations. At the same time, on the offensive end, Leonard did not have too many strong plays. After all, the Trail Blazers have Crowder, who is also a top-notch player in the league.

Some insiders are not enough, so the Nets chose to play small balls in more game time in this game, which also made the team's offense more smooth and natural. Curry, in particular, maintained an extremely high offensive efficiency in this game. He made 15 of 20 shots and 6 of 11 three-pointers in the game. He scored 36 points without free throws. The data of assists and 3 steals is not bad. Opposite him, Lillard also made Royce O'Neal's defense deflated. In the whole game, Lillard made 13 of 26 shots, 0 of 3 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, 31 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 5 Steals, the overall hit rate reached 50%, not bad.

However, in the fourth quarter of the game, Lillard fell into a black hole of ball possession after the Nets suddenly strengthened their double-teaming and frequently used double-teaming to limit his shots. The Trail Blazers have too few players who can control the ball. This is really a very obvious weakness. Stevens grasped this point precisely, and the Nets took advantage of this opportunity to play a wave of 10::0, opening the score in one fell swoop. Conversely, when the Trail Blazers chose to respond by flanking Curry, Curry's shots were easy and freehand. Joe Harris used the offensive space Curry created for himself to frequently fire from the outside. Joe Harris made 7 of 12 shots from beyond the three-point line, including 4 of 5 shots in the fourth quarter.

The final score was fixed at 123:111. The injured Nets finally won, ending the losing streak (36-4), and the team's winning percentage returned to 90%.

One win doesn't seem to indicate that the team is back on track, and in that case, another win. Facing the Washington Wizards led by another Mesozoic point guard Wall, the Nets increased Leonard's role on the offensive end. Porter, who showed excellent 3D potential last season, is a bit unstable this season. The rumors about the Wizards wanting to welcome Durant home have not stopped this season. The Wizards' handling methods are very different from those of the Nets. Not to mention the rumors that Jiang Mingliang vetoed the team's intention to introduce Durant three times and four times, he has repeatedly improved Leonard's status in the team, let alone sent a maximum salary renewal contract early, steady his mind. The Wizards have not only failed to clarify the rumors, but have not expressed their intention to complete an early contract extension with Porter so far. This makes Porter, who entered the league in 2013 and was able to complete the contract renewal in the summer of 2016, unavoidably fluctuating.

Last season's high-quality 3D was a little mediocre this season, and the team's record has declined, which has weakened Durant's competitiveness. But facing the Nets, Wall's shortcomings of insufficient offensive ability were clearly exposed. For Durant, who is aiming for a championship, this is obviously a minus item. After all, judging from the current situation, no matter where Durant is, if he wants to compete for the championship, the Nets must climb over the mountain. Going to the Wizards to partner with Wall might as well stay in the Thunder!

At 119:83, the Nets sent away the Wizards with a 36-point victory. While ushering in two consecutive victories, they also set the team's half-time record at 37 wins and 4 losses. This result, First in history.

Although the current performance of the Nets is still the first in the same period in history, but after ending the 27-game winning streak, Curry's current reputation is not as invincible as it was during the winning streak. In fact, the media industry all over the world is like this. When they praise you, they will praise you to the sky, but when everything is calm, you will find that you are just a mortal.

Of course, this is a good thing for the team. The spotlight in New York has already put a lot of pressure on the team. Ideally, try not to take on more.

The voting results of the second phase of the NBA All-Star Voting are out. Curry continues to be the number one voter. However, compared with the winning streak, the gap with Kobe is slowly narrowing. Feeling fans, Nike. Including the league is working hard, it seems to want to make Kobe's last All-Star Game more perfect, it would be even better if Kobe can win the AMVP. But on the player's side, Kobe definitely doesn't have the appeal that Jordan did back then. Especially in the case of Curry's harvest of honors, it is estimated that there are not a few people who are aiming at this AMVP. In addition, Kobe's strength is indeed declining now, and everything may not be as the league expects.

Leonard is firmly in second place in the ranking of Eastern Conference forwards, ahead of the third place Love, and the fourth place Anthony has a great advantage. As far as the current situation is concerned, it is not a big problem to lock an All-Star starter. For Leonard himself, it was also an official recognition. He is no longer just a nuclear weapon on the defensive end, with more influence covering both ends of the court, and has also been recognized by more fans.

Chasing Dream Green, who has also improved significantly this season, also has the strength of an All-Star, but considering his own offensive data, especially in scoring, is not very good, and secondly, the league also needs to balance the All-Star status of each team. The number of people, plus Dream Chaser himself is also a person who does dirty work on the team, so it is very likely that it will be difficult. On the contrary, Porzingis, if he has not suffered an injury, the data will be a little better, and he will have the opportunity to represent the center into the All-Star in the future.

The All-Star lineup is currently confusing, but the head coach of the All-Star this season has been officially confirmed. Stevens of the Nets is about to serve as the head coach of the Eastern All-Star for the second time. After Durant joined, the team's record has skyrocketed, and Rivers is about to take charge of the Western Conference All-Star team. This is a good thing for Green. If someone withdraws from the All-Star Game for various reasons, Dreaming Green still hopes to enter as a substitute.

The All-Star weekend is a very important day for players and fans. But for Jiang Mingliang, who had never paid much attention, it was more time to relax. He personally prefers to devote this time to the work that should be done. For example, preparations for the draft.

Lost by Jim Buss of the Lakers for two first-round picks, the Nets can only continue to search for treasures in the second round this season. In addition to the team's own second-round pick, the Magic's second-round pick is also in the basket. In the hands of the team, considering that this season is a small draft year, if you pack a future second-round pick, it is not impossible to change to the end of the first round.

The quality of the currently announced rookies is indeed a bit disappointing. Among Jiang Mingliang’s tasks for the scouting team, several key targets are Siakam from New Mexico State University, Croatian center Zubac and the University of Virginia. The older rookie Brogdon.

Siakam, who has strong athletic ability and comprehensive skills, is an ideal replacement for Chasing Dream Green. The Nets will definitely have a salary crisis in the future. Great opportunity. The salary space of the Nets, it is not easy to keep Nurkic in the summer of 2017. It is not bad to train Zubac for two years, and then succeed Nurkic as a substitute insider. The same is true for Dinwiddie and Brogdon. On the surface, the Nets are strong and strong, but in order to maintain the team in a strong state for a long time, it is very necessary to be prepared for danger in times of peace.

. . . . . .

I stay at home with my wife every day, and occasionally I need some space to come out to breathe. After applying for a short half-day with Jessica, Jiang Mingliang came to a bookstore, but instead of buying books, he stared at a girl in the reading area.

"Tell me, why did you ask me to come out?" After half the salary, Hong Chengcheng, who felt his eyes were a little sore, ended this childish behavior and broke the calm first.

"It's nothing, just to see if you have returned to New York, and to maintain the relationship." Mentioning this, Jiang Mingliang said, "I contacted a junior at Harvard for you. Wait until the graduation season at the end of May, and then you can go to Over there, enter the main library as a family member of the graduate."

"So fast? You're pretty fast." Hong Chengcheng said unexpectedly. He didn't expect that when he mentioned it to Jiang Mingliang casually, Jiang Mingliang took this matter to heart and dealt with it in time.

"Fortunately, I have some companies that need to recruit some high-quality talents. Those who graduated from Harvard will be given priority, so I and the international student group are somewhat outstanding." Jiang Mingliang explained.

"Ha~" Hong Chengcheng nodded and said, "In this case, I have to treat you to a big meal as a thank you."

"Forget it, you were the one who invited me to the meal in Shanghai. When I arrived in New York, my home stadium, I even asked you to treat me. I won't be here in the future." Jiang Mingliang immediately rejected Hong Chengcheng's proposal, expressing the matter of treating guests You have to come by yourself.

"How about going to your house to eat?" Hong Chengcheng suggested, "You must have a chef at home, right?"

"Can you cook it yourself?" Jiang Mingliang frowned and asked, seeing that Hong Chengcheng was a little puzzled, and added, "There is a pregnant woman in my family, so the dishes are made according to the standard of nutritious meals, and the taste is relatively monotonous."

It's not like rich people are like emperors, they have imperial cooks to serve them anytime and anywhere, and they have food delivered when they want to eat. The current chef in Jiang Mingliang's family is specially arranged by Yang Kaiwen for Jessica, who specializes in making various nutritious meals. For Jiang Mingliang, it is not very suitable for him, so he often contacts outside restaurants to deliver meals at any time. It was a rare opportunity to come out to eat, so Jiang Mingliang wanted to try something else.

With Jiang Mingliang's explanation, Hong Chengcheng was a little skeptical. How should I put it, after all, Jiang Mingliang is a super rich man with an 11-figure net worth!

"Buffett still has two cans of Coca-Cola every day. It's not like opening hundreds of thousands of red wine every day. Our high-quality life doesn't have to be reflected in eating, okay?" Jiang Mingliang said speechlessly, "And it's rare for me to relax , I don’t want to go home so early.”

Jiang Mingliang insisted on this, Hong Chengcheng seemed to have noticed something, nodded in agreement, and then searched for the nearest restaurant he wanted to try on his mobile phone.
