Build a Dream Dynasty

Chapter 2: Jiang Mingliang's ambition

Objectively speaking, the current situation of the Nets is really not optimistic. From the perspective of an NBA team, this team has no star players to support it, loses the support of fans, and has almost zero attraction to big-name players. Bruce Ratner just didn't see much hope, so he was willing to put forward the idea of ​​selling the Nets to the league at this time.

But in Jiang Shixiao's view, some competitive sports are unpredictable. Not only refers to the performance on the field, but also represents the success or failure of the business. The Nets' ball market has deteriorated. Although the team's imminent relocation to New York will cause harm to New Jersey fans, isn't it responsible for the team's dismal record? If through reasonable operation, the team's poor record can be reversed, is the Nets really that bad?

And New York's attraction to Jiang Shixiao is another factor in his heart.

"In response to the acquisition of the Nets, I have submitted a bidding application to the NBA League, and I have also contacted Deloitte to evaluate the current situation of the Nets. It is estimated that the results will be available in two weeks." Back home, Jiang Shixiao sent his son Called to the study room and informed him of his decision.

"Thank you, Dad." Jiang Mingliang's joy was beyond words.

A live-action basketball manager game? Jiang Mingliang has seen that he has left his name in the history of the NBA, at least the history of the Nets.

With his identity and vision as a traveler, even if the Nets do not have any attraction to introduce any big names this summer, it is enough to make this team a team that can hit the playoffs. After all, the formation of Miami's Big Three is a huge blow to the Eastern Conference. In history, this is also the most exaggerated years when the west is strong and the east is weak. In addition to the Pacers, Bulls, Celtics, and even many teams have given up hope of overthrowing the Heat's domination.

"But I'm still hesitating about whether to let you run the business." Immediately afterwards, Jiang Shixiao poured a pot of cold water on Jiang Mingliang.

"dad!"

"Listen to me." Jiang Shixiao stretched out his hand to suppress his son's argument, "Rebuilding a team is not as easy as you think."

"I am confident that as long as I take the lead, the team will soon be able to see improvement." Jiang Mingliang said confidently.

In the United States, you have to have self-confidence. The more arrogant you are within a reasonable range, the better. If you are humble, you will think you have no confidence.

"Of course, I'll give you the right. But I only allow you to fail for one season. Before 2012, if the team still can't make the playoffs, then you will abdicate and make up for it." This has always been what Jiang Shixiao told Jiang Mingliang. Planning, allowing him to fail once.

Dad's promise obviously gave Jiang Mingliang more confidence. With the advantage of returning from time travel, if you can't manage a team well for two years, what face is written into the novel together with the other children of destiny who traveled through the plane?

"If the team cannot enter the playoffs in two years, then I will listen to you in the future. I will do whatever you ask me to do."

From this sentence, Jiang Mingliang's fate is also closely linked with the fate of the Nets.

,,,,,,,

Unlike ordinary industrial transactions, which are simply negotiated by the buyer and the seller, the acquisition of an NBA team has a lot more interests in the middle. Buying an NBA team is usually divided into four steps - NBA board vote, team value evaluation, transaction estimate and buyer qualification review.

According to the relevant regulations of the NBA, the transfer of a team must be approved by the board of directors. The owners of the other 29 teams hold one vote and receive at least 22 affirmative votes before proceeding to the next transfer procedure.

After Jiang Shixiao officially launched the acquisition plan for the Nets, the league will organize this acquisition case and organize a meeting of the owners of the other 29 teams to discuss this matter.

Thirty teams and thirty owners in the league compete for each other on the court, but in fact they are partners in operation. The commercial success of American sports leagues is that, rather than attacking each other and weakening their opponents, they prefer to have strong partners to join in and make the pie bigger. Jiang Shixiao is well-known in the investment community, and his financial situation is good, and he has great hopes of passing the vote of the council.

Especially, when Jiang Shixiao's main competitor is Prokhorov, a rich man from Russia, he is even more dominant.

Americans' rejection of Russians is inherent.

Once the acquisition was launched, Jiang Mingliang himself began to study the Nets. There is a saying that the three armies have not moved, the food and grass will go first, and preparations will be made in advance, so that you can control everything in your own hands at the beginning of taking over.

Jiang Mingliang found out the lineup of the Nets this season. Looking at the players above, he couldn't help feeling emotional. Really, fortunately, he is a professional fan, not the kind of star honey who only chases stars. Otherwise, in this list, I know Players can count on one hand.

The team's roster is as follows

PG: Devin Harris (2 years, $18 million), Chris Quinn (expired)

SG: Kenyon Dooling (expired contract), Chris Douglas-Roberts (team option, two-year, $2.1 million), Courtney Lee (team option, two-year, $4.5 million)

SF: Trenton Hassell (expired contract), Jarvis Hayes (expired contract), Bobby Simmons (one-year contract of 9.5 million), Tyrese Williams (1+2, Team options, $6.9 million)

PF: Yi Jianlian (1 year, 3 million), Najera (expired contract), Tony Batty (expired contract), Josh Boone (expired contract)

C: Brook Lopez (2 years, $7.2 million)

You're welcome, in this lineup, apart from Lopez and Courtney Lee, at most one Devin Harris, who can only play well in Dallas, can still be used. The other players are in other balls. The team can only say that it is the level of the drinking fountain. It may be acceptable to have two or three players like this on a team, and a whole team is full of players of this level, and the bottom of the league is a matter of course.

As a point guard, Quinn definitely can't renew his contract. In this year's draft, Jeremy Lin, a Chinese point guard, will participate in the draft. Although he was eventually defeated, he finally got a contract from the Warriors. As a substitute, it is better to take care of his compatriots. From the perspective of development, Jeremy Lin is indeed worth investing in. If Jeremy Lin can show a good performance, it is not impossible to be promoted to the second point guard position. As for Harris, if it can be used as a bargaining chip to trade to a suitable candidate, then trade, otherwise, let's use it first.

Shooting guard, Du Lin is definitely going to leave, Jiang Mingliang does not plan to keep Roberts, there are some practical players in this position whether it is the draft or the free agency market, and Courtney Lee guarantees the bottom line, it should be good. .

The two striker positions are the hardest hit areas for the team. The strength of the striker players is weak, and they are often beaten by opponents, which is the main reason for the collapse of the New Jersey Nets' performance. This position is the focus of the Nets' summer reinforcement. Even if James can't come, at least a name with enough weight must be introduced. For example, in the draft, George and Hayward are both available.

As a compatriot, Yi Jianlian is a difficult problem for Jiang Mingliang to deal with. After all, he is a Chinese in his heart. Jiang Mingliang definitely hopes to give Yi Jianlian a chance to fully improve in the NBA, improve his level, and win glory for the country. But the reality is that although he has played a good 12+7 this season, his 42% shooting percentage as an insider and his vitreous physique who only played 52 games with frequent injuries is unacceptable for any manager. The lack of left-handed ball technique leads to a single offensive line, and the characteristics such as excessively long shot time and easy interference are also objective. Even adding his own emotional factors, Jiang Mingliang can only guarantee to keep him in the team and serve as a substitute insider. If he has any dissatisfaction, then after the one-year contract expires, he can talk about it, and if he doesn't agree, he will break up.

There is no suspense in the center position, Brook Lopez is already the boss of the Nets. A team player with solid offensive skills, good sense of position, and rebounds for teammates is not perfect, but it is definitely the treasure of the team at the moment.

Thinking about it, Jiang Mingliang suddenly remembered that he hadn't figured out who would be the head coach. He is the management, UU reading www. Although uukanshu.com knows a lot more about the future than everyone else, it is just a fan after all. Different players adapt to different styles of play, and the key depends on the coach's preferences.

Popovich? Carlisle? Rivers? Forget it, the precedent for a draft pick for a head coach only started in 2014. And the Nets' draft picks are treasures. Besides, even if he takes out the draft pick, these guys won't agree to come over as long as they don't mind. They're all on a championship team.

Cole? He is not the head coach now, he is the general manager and management of the Suns. More money and less to stay close to home, let alone come to the Nets.

Old Coach K? He has never logged into the NBA all his life, betting the future of the Nets on him, Jiang Mingliang is a little worried.

College coach, college coach! Thinking of a college coach, Jiang Mingliang suddenly thought of a person, a name that future Nets fans would not want to see, Brad Stevens. This coach has a level of skill. Whether it is on-the-spot tactics or cultivating newcomers, he is very good. The data proves that during Stevens' time coaching the Celtics, the Celtics were the best team in the league to play key balls, no one. There has not been a top 10 star in the league for a long time. Why did the Celtics have such a dazzling performance in this "superstar exclusive time"? The answer lies in Stevens' tactics.

As for employing people, whether it is Evan Turner, who is a retro and anti-time trend, or Thomas, who has a natural flaw in height and is the last in the league in defensive efficiency, he has played a career masterpiece under Stevens, one from pioneering The player got the biggest contract of his career, one entered the second team of the league's best team, and became the strongest 175 on the surface according to word of mouth among fans.

The more Jiang Mingliang thought about it, the more suitable he felt, and he called out excitedly, "I'll find him."
