Build a Dream Dynasty

Chapter 62 The legendary curtain call

During the halftime break, what happened in the Jazz locker room is unknown to everyone, but in the second half of the game, Deron Williams did not appear, but sat on the bench with a livid face, watching the Jazz in the game. In the third quarter, the score gap was widened to more than 20 points, and then the game entered garbage time.

112:97, the final point difference was 15 points. Compared with the inconsistency in the first half, the Nets won the second half with unexpected ease. The fans who easily arrived at the scene no longer paid attention to the team's victory, but were more interested in what happened to the Jazz.

How big a thing is it that a well-known head coach doesn't even do superficial work in the halftime, and directly hides the boss of the team in the second half. Not only the fans who watched the game on the spot, when this matter was repeatedly fermented on Twitter, Facebook and other social media, almost all basketball fans in the United States were paying attention to the response of Jazz coach Sloan to this matter.

In the press conference hall of the Nets' home court, a large number of reporters poured in from all directions. Relying on New York, this phenomenon is also inevitable. After all, the media industry is too developed.

"We had a communication problem, Deron didn't seem to understand what I was saying. He didn't do what I wanted from him on the court, that's why I didn't use him in the second half. I would have preferred to use A player who implements the coach's intentions." Facing the reporter's question, the old coach appeared upright and introverted, and he did not whitewash the peace out of consideration for the overall situation, nor did he blindly magnify, entertain, or lead things in a bad direction.

"Will Deron play in the next game against the Bulls?"

"I don't know, it's up to me to make the decision, maybe use it, maybe not. But it's up to him. He made a mistake, a big mistake, and there will be some corresponding consequences. If the consequence is that he continues to play, he He has to be ready to play, and if the consequence is that he's going to the bench, then he has to be ready to sit on the bench."

. . . . . .

In the previous life, the conflict between Deron and Sloan was actually not so big, and the public only got the news after Sloan officially announced his resignation. Now, because of the butterfly effect produced by Jiang Mingliang, the conflict has been made public in advance, and it depends on how the Jazz's management should operate.

All in all, the Nets do not consider becoming Deron Williams' successor.

The team rested for a day, and the Nets went to Charlotte to challenge the Bobcats away. Last season made a historic breakthrough and reached the playoffs. This season, the Bobcats should have continued to work hard. However, the team has traded away the defensive core Chandler and Elvis Gerrard. Wallace, and did not exchange for any talents to make, the team's performance immediately dropped significantly, and this season's ranking also dropped to 11th in the Eastern Conference. It seems that the playoffs are a bit far away.

As good as Michael Jordan is at playing basketball, his management is flawed. This is true whether it is the draft, trade or free agency signing. However, he himself is still the same as when he was a player, strong and controlling, so Haohao's thriving team was dismantled just like that.

102:81, the Nets ushered in two consecutive victories and continued to rank sixth in the Eastern Conference. However, the Nets also suffered a loss in this game. The team's main point guard Bledsoe sprained his knee during a layup. After the game, the team doctor checked and confirmed that he would be absent for two weeks. For the Nets, which lost No. 2 point guard Livingston, this is a bit of a blow!

Averaged 9.7 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game. This data is not very good for a main point guard who averages more than 32 minutes per game, but Bledsoe's value is not reflected in the data. The first is his ductility on the defensive end. With a height of 185 and a wingspan of more than 2 meters, Bledsoe can easily switch to the second position. Wall and Anderson at the power forward position are both top three-point shooters in their respective positions. The team relies heavily on Bledsoe to use the space opened by his teammates to break through, or disrupt the opponent's defense, or attack the opponent's inside.

It is certain that Jeremy Lin will be the starter. Not to mention the role of the offensive end, on the defensive end, it is really difficult for him to replace Bledsoe's role. In addition, in the Nets team, it seems that only veterans Carter and Terrence Williams can comeo point guards, and it is inevitable to sign a point guard with a 10-day short contract. After returning to the team training hall, Stevens immediately met with Jiang Mingliang and Will Craig to discuss this matter.

The major agents have already submitted the information of their players to Will Craig. He first evaluated these players, and selected some that looked good and handed them over to Jiang Mingliang.

Mike James, a well-known homeless man in the league, has played well in the CBA this season, showing a good scoring ability, but in the NBA, he has a solitary style of play. In the CBA, he has the characteristics of not passing Zoom in, he broke up with the team after playing eight games.

Ralph Alston, the king of streetball, is very familiar to Chinese fans. He played for the Nets for a short time last season, but soon offered to apply for a buyout contract and join a playoff team. The appalling Nets did not embarrass the veteran, bought out his contract and let him go to the Heat.

There are no outstanding characters among the names, only these two veteran Rockets players, it is difficult for Jiang Mingliang to be familiar with them. At this time, the selection of talents can only be found in the Development League. After all, both European players and CBA foreign players have contracts, so it is impossible to come.

"Coach, what do you think?"

"Alston, at least he can control the rhythm." Stevens made a decision without thinking.

Bradshaw will miss 7 to 9 games, and most of the game time will be handed over to Jeremy Lin and Carter. Unless he beats the opponent in advance or is beaten by the opponent and enters garbage time, otherwise, Alstom will not What a chance to get.

"OK, Will, you take care of it and let him report as soon as possible."

The news that the Nets signed the streetball king and gave a ten-day short contract may still stir up a little heat in China, but in the United States, there is no splash at all. But the NBA soon ushered in a big news. On January 11, the Jazz officially announced that Jerry Sloan officially resigned as head coach. Assistant coach Tyro Carbin will replace Sloan as the team's new head coach. Sloan stayed in the Jazz for 23 consecutive years, which created a record in the history of NBA and even North American sports, but he stepped down from the altar today, and his era in the Jazz officially ended today. Immediately, Sloan also held a press conference, announcing that he would consider retiring after resigning.

"My time is up, it's time to leave." When Sloan announced the decision, he was full of tears.

"Our management didn't drive Jerry away, our players didn't drive him away, and the team's acting head coach didn't drive him away either," Jazz owner Greg Miller said.

Of course, this was just his rhetoric. The day after Sloan announced his resignation, Jiang Mingliang received a call from the Jazz to talk about Deron's deal.

"I need to discuss with the team's consultant, Mr. Jerry West, before making a decision." Instinctively, Jiang Mingliang was ready to refuse, but then, Jiang Mingliang realized something and gave an ambiguous answer.

What is the purpose of recruiting West and sending him $7 million a year? It was at this time that different voices sounded in my ears!
