Build a Dream Dynasty

Chapter 817 Meeting Durant

When the time came to late June, the major superstars who had recovered their free bodies started their "journey to eat food". The first thing that came to light was the scandal between James and the Lakers. The Lakers held a grand "retirement tour" for Kobe last season, which not only gave enough face to the first person in team history, but also earned enough box office and attention. The important thing is that this kind of scenery sent the superstar of team history There is no doubt that many people are fascinated by the card of retirement. In the league, at present, from the perspective of strength and starlight, only Curry and James are worthy of the retirement tour.

Curry is a figure who will erect a statue at the entrance of the Barclays Center after retiring. As long as Jiang Mingliang does not have a brain twitch, it is impossible to let him go to the Lakers, and he himself has not thought about it. But James. . . . . . It is possible for him to go to the Lakers.

Although the Lakers do not have the Big Three, they have young people like Russell, Ingram, and Randall in the team. The team has ample salary space and can sign other superstars to match James this summer. With the rich tradition and fan base, this is really a very likely choice.

Of course, for James, a minus item is that the Lakers are also interested in Durant, and even from the perspective of the Lakers, Durant has a higher priority. Regardless of the personal relationship between James and Durant, the two also have a common enemy-the Nets. Even for the two, once they join forces, they can instantly suppress the Nets in terms of strength, but it is absolutely impossible for these two people to join forces. Impossible. If Durant has a 10% chance of usurping the throne when he comes to the Nets, then he can only be a younger brother with 200% when he meets James.

. . . . . .

Durant appeared in Jiang Mingliang's business room at the Hilton Hotel.

Durant's agent, Kleiman, was already there, and he was chatting with Jiang Mingliang and Thomas.

"Kevin, are you here? Mr. Jiang has been here for quite a while." Kleiman greeted him.

The two have met several times before, and the one that impressed Durant the most was when the Thunder were playing against the Nets at home. The chef of the Thunder prepared halal dishes for the team, but did not consider the reason Hurting the appetite of the absent Durant, the poor Thunder star could only go to the Nets to ask for lunch. At that time, Jiang Mingliang gave him four in one breath.

After this incident was exposed by the media, the Thunder's logistics once became a joke in the league, and there was such a thing as making the team's popular star go out to beg for food.

"It hasn't been long since we met last time, but I hope we can meet more often in the future. I sincerely hope that Kevin can come to New York to play."

After saying hello, the two came to a small table in the business room and sat down.

"Last season's finals, Kevin made our team's wing players...should be uncomfortable for the whole team. He averaged 34 points, 9 rebounds, and 6 assists per game. This performance is totally worth it. The championship. I also think it is very sad that a player like Kevin has not had a championship at this stage." Once he sat down, Zhuang Zhuoyuan said straight to the point.

The core bargaining chip for him to poach Durant is very simple, which is the championship ring that Durant dreams of.

"I know that the Nets' tactical system starts with Curry, but Kevin is also the league's top outside attacker. No matter which team he is in, the team will design special offensive tactics for him." Lehmann opened his mouth to fight for Durant's rights.

The boss battle between Durant and Curry is something he must consider when joining the Nets. At least, fair play. But from Jiang Mingliang, to the team, to the fans in New York, which side will they stand on? Durant knows everything with his toes.

"Kevin, I think you need to know that Stephen has already completed three consecutive MVPs." Jiang Mingliang responded lightly.

What it means to complete the MVP three-peat. There are only four players with more MVPs, namely Chamberlain and Russell in ancient times, as well as Jordan and James. Just talking about the latter two, Jordan is the god of basketball, and he can beat the existence of the heroes in the 90s who could not turn over by himself, and James is also a very special existence, at least in terms of statistics.

As for Curry, who has completed the historical record of 74 wins, it is not easy to win again. Besides, Curry's next goal is obviously no longer in the regular season. The goal of moving forward is where his vision lies.

If the Nets' regular season results are sufficient, then the probability of pushing Durant to MVP is greater than pushing Curry.

As for the playoffs, it depends on Curry and Durant competing fairly on the basis of ensuring the championship. Of course, at this time, Jiang Mingliang would lean towards anyone, and he knew everything.

Jiang Mingliang's words fell into Durant's ears, and it was definitely a critical blow.

Yes, Curry has won 3 consecutive MVPs, he has also won three championships, and won 3 FMVPs. The Nets' four-year triple crown dynasty has been officially recognized. Curry is the founder of this dynasty. And what about myself, the footnote of this great dynasty?

"Steph will of course be our core player, but this finals really made us realize that the wings can play a greater role on both ends of the offense and defense. So we will definitely add The strength of the wing, and in the new season, we will design more offensive tactics for wing players."

Jiang Mingliang did not deceive Durant. The team does have plans in this regard, as can be seen from the fact that the team's signing targets are Durant and Joe Johnson. But the fundamental purpose is not for Durant, but to reduce Curry's loss and reduce his possibility of injury.

The shortcut to the championship, the tilt of the regular season tactical system, and the composition of the strongest team in history, all of which are quite attractive to Durant. The last thing to discuss is the position of the team.

Leonard does not have the ability to swing to the second position, and Durant also likes to play the third position the most. Is there a bit of positional conflict between the two? Durant hopes that the team will clarify the position of his small forward. If Leonard plays together, he will be the defender at the fourth position inside.

Regarding this point, Jiang Mingliang could not agree: "Kevin, what I want to say is that the most ideal lineup for Coach Stevens is a ball-handling point guard plus three wings and an inside line protecting the frame. The three wings The position is not fixed. When you meet a suitable defensive object, you will be marked by the suitable person. The team will not let you stay at the 4th position all the time, but sometimes, you have to do some work as a power forward. But As far as I feel, you have done a lot of this kind of work in the Clippers, and you have done it well."

Durant's height, wingspan, and physical condition, if he is willing to put more energy on the defensive end, to be honest, it is not a big problem to get a defensive shot. In a sense, joining the Nets, Durant's offensive pressure is indeed much less, but the defensive end may have to do some dirty work.

"To win the championship, everyone needs to sacrifice for the team, which is inevitable." Jiang Mingliang continued.

I don’t know how many times Durant has drunk this bowl of chicken soup. Former Thunder coach Brooks and Clippers current coach Rivers are all well-known chicken soup masters in the league. But the exhortation from Jiang Mingliang was very different to Durant.

He has been in charge of the Nets for six years and won three championships. The vision of the draft is extremely vicious. With the Nets in his hands, the bench lineup is not bad, and there are always new players.

Advantages of joining the Nets: The championship is basically held in hand, you can score more easily without facing double teams, and become the core player of the strongest team in history. If you are lucky, you can compete for MVP. The excellent mechanism of the Nets can be effective Reduce your loss and prolong your career.

Disadvantages: There will be a huge decline in word-of-mouth. If there is any accident on the way to the championship, it will be in a doomed situation. Curry is the king of New York. From top to bottom, he will support Curry even more. When he is a power forward and tops the inside will increase significantly. . . . . .

The pros and cons of this need to be carefully weighed by Durant.

At the end of the meeting, Durant did not give a clear answer, and then went to the 76ers for a meal. Jiang Mingliang didn't care about it here, and directly arranged for Thomas to contact Joe Johnson and his agent. According to the current free agent market, the other party called out a price of 36 million for three years.

In the case of skyrocketing salary space, this price is not an exaggeration. After Carter chose to leave, the Nets also had enough space to offer Durant a maximum salary and offer Joe Johnson such a contract, but Jiang Mingliang still chose to delay the move and was not in a hurry to make a move.

In Jiang Mingliang's mind, Joe Johnson is more of a backup tire for the team to enhance its flank attack ability, and Durant can't come. If the Lord came, it would be unnecessary. The team's remaining salary space, there are still many positions that need to be filled.

Another thing that gave Jiang Mingliang a headache was that Ding Weidi's deal was not going well. The Mavericks, who were originally the most promising, refused to trade their 18-year first-round pick, even if the Nets were also willing to take advantage of the draft picks, they would not agree.

It's normal for the Mavericks to operate like this. In the past, trading draft picks to the Nets and taking over some young people who performed well from the Nets was equivalent to the Mavericks outsourcing the draft task in exchange for some good-quality but not top-notch players. But at that time, the Mavericks had Nowitzki in their pocket, and they all had great hopes of making the playoffs. But now, Nowitzki has declined significantly. Retirement is a matter of time. The Mavericks will be completely rebuilt at any time. The 18-year pick is likely to be a high pick. It is used to trade Dinwiddie and the Nets' pick. That is not a joke. Well? You can talk about it with Porzingis!

Moreover, Jiang Mingliang is far away from the near future, and does not want the 2017 draft picks. The plan is 18 years in advance. Nelson Jr. is keenly aware of something wrong, and he is unwilling to give up.
