Build a Dream Dynasty

The wheel of history did not deflect its course because of Jiang Mingliang, a little butterfly. On July 9th, the Chosen Son LeBron James, under the eyes of all eyes, announced that he has signed with the Heat through a national live broadcast special program hosted by ESPN, and will form a Big Three with Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade line-up!

As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused violent turmoil in the league. No one expected that James, Wade, and Bosh would choose to team up at their peak, and the Miami Heat instantly became the league's favorite to win the championship.

No. 23 VS No. 24, in the past two years, this is the fateful matchup that the league has been pushing. However, at the current time point, apart from breaking Kobe's series of youngest records, James is not enough to compare with Kobe in honor, which can be regarded as a magic obstacle for James. If you want to truly smash the doubts around you, only the championship. To this end, James spared no expense.

When everyone was shocked by the Heat's formation of the Big Three, the Nets' official website announced a signing news. Chinese point guard Jeremy Lin signed a contract with the team and will represent the team in the summer league.

It's not that Jiang Mingliang doesn't want to sign Jeremy Lin directly, but that this kind of undrafted picks have their own channels for promotion to the league. First of all, you have to perform well in the trial training and the summer league, and then it is logical to give yourself a contract. Another purpose of this operation is to avoid doubts caused by skin color issues. Jiang Mingliang didn't care, Jeremy Lin's salary was nothing compared to the budget of the Nets, but Jeremy Lin was plotted against by other players because of the special preferential treatment given to him by his Chinese boss, so the gain outweighed the loss.

Although he is a player of Chinese origin, he has naturally favored by Chinese fans. But the news of James joining the Heat is so shocking that even Jeremy Lin can hardly shake James' news enthusiasm. The Nets fans are more concerned about the negotiation between the team and Carlos Boozer. Agreed to sign with the team.

Although a few rookies with full potential have been added, and the addition of an All-Star power forward has been finalized, for the Nets that are waiting to be done, these few signings are obviously not enough. Regarding the lineup for the new season, Jiang Mingliang, Stevens, and Will Craig sat together to discuss.

"The team already has Lopez and Whiteside at the center position. In addition, according to my vision, Yi Jianlian also needs to fill this position at some point. I don't think there is any need to add any reinforcements. " Stevens first expressed his views on the center position, "Of course, if there are suitable candidates in the summer league and trial training, they can also be signed, so you can be prepared."

Everyone nodded in agreement. How should I put it, there is no suitable insider on the market at present.

Stevens continued: "Let's look at power forwards again. Boozer is in his prime and has comprehensive offensive means. The combination with Lopez is worth looking forward to. Najera and Yi Jianlian should be able to serve as substitutes." In addition to individuals, Stevens also plans to try Pavlovich's guest power forward at certain times to open up the space, but he will not discuss it with him for the time being.

Lopez, Boozer, Yi Jianlian, Najera, Whiteside, this set of insiders is not luxurious, but it is definitely enough if there is no injury. Reminiscent of Jiang Mingliang's importance to Yi Jianlian, or Guarantee his playing time and reduce the competition for the inside position.

"Well! Then let's continue to look at the small forward!" Jiang Mingliang signaled Stevens to continue.

Stevens continued: "In my tactics, the difference between shooting guard and small forward is not obvious. I prefer to use the wing to represent it. At present, we have Paul George, Kyle Korver, and Courtney in this position. Lee, Terrence Williams, and Pavlovic are five players. Paul's shooting and defense are in line with my requirements, but he is a rookie after all and needs time to adapt to the NBA. The other three players have their own problems. Seriously. Keller and Alexander are average in athletic ability, Courtney and Terrance are not very stable players. The number is enough, but it is better to upgrade."

"Is there any candidate for the coach?" The Nets' record was so poor last season, and the wing position was beaten to death by others. No one can guarantee that George will be able to support both offense and defense in the new season. The team struggled for a while, but Jiang Mingliang decided to strengthen through trading.

"Ariza of the Rockets." Stevens announced a name, and then greeted Jiang Mingliang and Will Craig with strange eyes.

"Ariza did not perform well in the Rockets last season. The main reason is that he was driven out of the ducks and became the focus of the opponent. I think he is just a normal starter. He is very suitable." Stevens explained road.

"OK, Will, let's find out what the Rockets say. If the price is right, we can consider a trade." Jiang Mingliang directly stamped the signing target, supporting Stevens' choice.

"The position of point guard is also the hardest-hit area of ​​the team. Currently, there is only one player, Bledsoe. His passing awareness, game experience, and shooting are not up to standard, and he needs an experienced veteran to take him along." During this time During the season, Stevens watched the game videos of many rookies and saw some surprises from Bledsoe, but at the same time found some problems.

"For this position, I have a good recommendation, Sean Livingston."

Although there are high school players in the NBA who have achieved great success, they are in other positions. The first high school point guard to enter the league was Livingston. But it is a pity that in a game in 2007, Livingston suffered a serious leg injury and was given up by the Clippers after a year of recuperation, and then began his homeless career.

However, at the end of last season, Livingston played the main role in the Wizards. He averaged 11.2 points and 4.9 assists per game in the first 18 games, showing signs of recovery.

The height of 205 gives Livingston a natural height advantage at the point guard position, and playing any point guard is a misplacement. A skilled turnaround jumper, good organizational skills, more than enough to serve as a substitute, and on the defensive end, Livingston can also be misplaced to the wing position. Really a fitting signing.

"Livingston is a player with a very unique style of play. To make good use of him, we need to spend a lot of thought." Stevens still accepts this candidate, and the worry is his health.

As everyone knows, Jiang Mingliang also counted on this point. While Livingston can provide changes to the Nets' tactics, his body needs to be maintained, and the training time for the game can be reserved for Jeremy Lin to exercise, killing three birds with one stone.

In order to cultivate talents for the motherland, Jiang Mingliang has worked hard!
