Build a Dream Dynasty

Chapter 98: The End of the Season

"After all, it was still a little bit worse." As Jeremy Lin scored the Nets' last goal of the season at the North Shore Garden Arena, the red light at the end of the game also sounded. 92:96, the Nets lost the series In the fifth game of the season, it also completed all the content of the 10-11 season.

It was also lost to the Celtics for two consecutive cities. The failures of G4 and G5 were very different from the previous two games. In both games, the Nets dragged the Celtics into the decisive moment of the fourth quarter. Lost by ten.

For the Nets, the 2010-11 season has come to an end. To sum up this season, it can only be described as a surprise. From the mob with no potential at all, to the high-profile young guards this year, from the operating black hole with a loss of more than 20 million last year, to the blue-chip stocks with negligible losses compared to the growth in market value this year, this season of the Nets. Use the words 'returning the dead' to describe it. And the three most critical people are Paul George, who was not expected but proved himself to be the best rookie of the year; Stevens, who received a lot of praise in the first year of coaching the NBA; Net's Jiang Mingliang.

Of course, the team's problems remain. The chicken blood in the starting lineup and Stevens' tactical benefits helped Anderson perform well at the beginning of the season. However, after less than halfway through, the team's power forward position became the target of opponents again and again. Relatively speaking, the playoffs are second to none, and it is difficult for anyone to face Garnett. At the critical moment of the game, the team lacked a main attack point. Paul George's lack of ball-handling skills greatly limited his attack at critical moments. Bledsoe was able to break through with the ball, but his offensive methods were too single. Veteran Carter is not the demigod he once was after all. Of course, the team's biggest problem must be the powerlessness of heavy small forwards like James, Anthony, and Smith. Some of these problems need to be made up by the players through their own progress, and some things need to be filled through the operation of the management.

. . . . . .

Just after 9 o'clock in the morning, the Nets' training ground began to be lively.

The players drove to the training ground one after another. After parking their cars, they did not rush into the locker room as usual. Instead, they wore casual clothes and chatted casually on the training ground.

After two days of adjustment, everyone gradually came out of the haze of being eliminated.

Jiang Mingliang and Stevens stood in front of the players. Everyone lined up and stood neatly.

"Have you received all the bonuses?" Jiang Mingliang laughed at the first sentence.

In order to stimulate the team to win in the playoffs, Jiang Mingliang offered a winning bonus. The amount was not large, but the effect was significant, and he really won a game.

"Got it!" The players replied with a smile.

Like all ordinary people, they always complain about hard work on weekdays. Only when they receive bonuses will they find that their efforts are finally rewarded.

"Very good, congratulations!" Jiang Mingliang said with a smile.

The players also laughed one by one.

"A hard-working season is finally over, and you have all been rewarded. Enjoy life, nightclubs, bars, beaches, fine wine, beauties, and delicious food. You can enjoy them as you like."

Don't think that every player is a saint and will use his offseason time to enrich himself. Most people work hard in order to obtain enough resources to enjoy life. Moreover, unscientific efforts will destroy the players themselves, and Arenas is a typical example.

"I just hope that when you come to report in the new season, you won't gain weight." Stevens broke the stage.

"Finally, I still want to thank everyone for their hard work and hard work this season, thank you!" Jiang Mingliang said sincerely.

"Okay, I won't delay you, we're all gone, let's go back!" Jiang Mingliang waved his hand with a smile.

After getting Jiang Mingliang's approval, everyone immediately dispersed. And Stevens, along with Jiang Mingliang, went to the office to analyze the upcoming draft and free market.

A noteworthy detail is that in the middle of this season, apart from discussing early contract renewal with Yi Jianlian, the Nets have not discussed contract renewal with any player whose contract has expired in the team. Including Carter and Landry, two players whose contracts expired, Jiang Mingliang did not give contracts in advance. Is it because Jiang Mingliang is a newcomer and not professional enough? Of course not, many things have a comprehensive consideration.

David West, Jiang Mingliang, Stevens and Jerry West selected the offseason signings in the middle of the season. This former Western All-Star power forward averaged 18.9 points per game last season. , 7.6 rebounds, the efficiency is not bad. Unfortunately, on March 24, in the game against the Jazz, West sprained his knee during a dunk, and then fell to the ground in pain. After being checked, West left the court in a wheelchair and returned to the locker room. Afterwards, the MRI examination results showed that West's knee cruciate ligament was torn and he was reimbursed for the season.

The team situation is chaotic, even the queen bee Paul has applied to leave the team. The Hornets' reconstruction is inevitable, and naturally they will not force West to stay. The other suitors have only the Nets' infatuation for West's two attitudes before and after his injury. Unchanged" also contributed to the Nets and West's concubine love. A sincere enough three-year 36 million fully guaranteed contract demonstrates the Nets' trust in David West. As long as the labor agreement is reached, the two parties can sign the contract immediately.

"Theoretically speaking, West's joining can replace Boozer's role in my blueprint last year, provided that his injury does not repeat." A big man with an average of 18.5+7.5 per game joined the team, filling the The weakest link in the team's starting lineup must have a positive impact on the team anyway, and Stevens is very satisfied with this. In addition to the statistical performance, West's shooting range is as far as one step inside the three-point line. He does not absorb the ball very much. A perfect fit for the Nets.

"At present, the labor negotiations will not end easily. I guess, we need to prepare for the suspension. For West, he has enough time to recuperate and recover after the operation without rushing to play. At the same time , We also need to be prepared, the time of the regular season will be compressed, the game density will be greatly increased, the team's bench needs to be equipped with enough strength, and West will be rested when necessary, after all, a torn cruciate ligament is not a trivial matter." Having learned the lesson of being intercepted by the Bulls last year, Jiang Mingliang learned to take one step and watch three steps this year to prevent problems before they happen.

"It's hard to comment on this question~" Stevens frowned, the coach's salary is not included in the total salary, and the result of the labor negotiation will at least not affect his income, "You have a good draft vision, Maybe we can take a good guy in the draft."

George, Bledsoe, Whiteside, Jeremy Lin. If Jiang Mingliang maintains this ability to shop for treasures, Stevens may die of happiness!
