Build a Dream Dynasty

Chapter 387 Little Curry

For the Pistons, this season has been a disappointing season. The team spent huge sums of money to poach Josh Smith from the Hawks, and then took over the potential center Drummond from the draft. Speaking of which, the lineup is actually pretty good.

However, in many cases, it is not enough to build a good-looking lineup to make a big difference. As he grows older, Josh Smith's athletic ability has actually declined, although his physical fitness is still top-notch, especially his explosive power. Not bad, but Josh Smith's footsteps and lateral movement are no longer suitable for small forwards of other teams. He was quite outstanding in the Hawks last season because he played the power forward position more than half of the time. After coming to the Pistons, Josh Smith returned to the small forward position, which allowed the Pistons to take advantage of the basket in most games. Drummond, Monroe, and Josh Smith directly made the Pistons' restricted area a no-fly zone . However, on the offensive end, this double-edged sword cut itself. The space of the Pistons can be said to be the worst in the league. As the team's main outside attack point, Josh Smith's original three-point shooting ability has completely collapsed. The 31.4% shooting rate is very dismal, and the data has also degraded from 18.8+9.5. To 16.4+5.8, all aspects of degradation.

The Pistons, which are 7 games behind the eighth Bucks in the Eastern Conference, have basically given up on this season. Using the next off-season to strengthen the team's lineup has become a consideration for the team. The point that needs to be strengthened is that the resources in hand are not rich. If the next draft lottery fails to get the top three picks, maybe the Pistons will use their draft picks to make a fuss and make a deal. The frustrated top shooter Korver is also among their reinforcement goals.

At the end of the season, it is really a happy thing to meet this kind of tank team that is aiming to do badly. To put it bluntly, they don’t want to win at all. The point of preparation is that their main job is to prepare for next season in advance.

Considering the opponent's internal strength, the Nets only arranged for Ray Allen to take turns in the arrangement of players in this game, but at the same time reduced the playing time of West and Lopez. The two starting insiders are more The role is to come to town, and Green and Yi Jianlian get more opportunities to perform. Not surprisingly, the Pistons have gained an inside advantage, especially in the area of ​​​​defense in the penalty area, and they have done quite well.

However, the Nets may be the team in the league that does not rely on scoring in the penalty area. In other words, the frequency of the team's inside attack is very low. When Curry, Fernandez and Korver run out of space on the outside, And when the three "inside" players of the Pistons did not make up the defense in time, the picture was more tragic. Korver made 4 of 7 three-pointers in this game. He was regarded as a suitable trading partner by the Pistons. His interview results were very good, while Curry made 6 of 12 three-pointers. , The season's three-pointer hits have exceeded 330. Although Stevens will definitely arrange for Curry to take turns in some games next, it is almost impossible to break through the 400 mark, but considering this season's games, Curry regularly clocks in three quarters and averages less than 35 minutes per game, which is still an incredible feat in terms of his playing time.

The Nets won, and the Pistons also got the loss they wanted. They are currently ranked 11th in the Eastern Conference and are making another step towards high-ranking rookies.

In addition to the madness in the last stage of the NBA season, the start of the NCAA also affects the hearts of the uniform teams of NBA teams. The basketball craze of March Madness has finally begun. This is also the key to determine how these basketball talents will enter the NBA. Although this year's draft was selected as a small draft year, but considering how unpopular the 2011 draft was, a considerable number of high-quality players emerged in the end, and no one dared to underestimate whether these rookies would be slapped in the face.

The Nets are very likely to win the regular season championship this season, so their draft pick is basically set at the end of the first round. In George's deal, the Warriors returned the team's 2013 draft pick to the Nets The Warriors, currently ranked sixth in the Western Conference, are roughly in the 18th to 20th picks. The strength of the team at this stage has reached the top level of the league, but let alone next season, next season, the Nets lineup will definitely be changed, and it is also necessary to prepare personnel reserves in advance during this offseason. After all, the rookie's four-year cheap contract is of great help to future operations.

In addition to some popular rookies, another object that the Nets scouting team pays close attention to is Seth Curry from Duke University, who is the younger brother of Stephen Curry.

Speaking of Seth Curry's experience, it is more tortuous than his brother Stephen Curry. Stephen's experience is very similar to that of the male protagonist in martial arts novels. He has top talents but is not favored for his swordsmanship. body. . . . . . And Seth Curry was not favored like his brother in the early years, and he only entered Liberty University in the second-tier league. However, due to Stephen's success, Seth got the opportunity to switch to Duke University, a famous basketball school. Progress under the guidance of Coach K. In the 10-11 season, Seth Curry averaged 9 points and 2 assists per game as Irving's substitute. In the 2011-12 season, the average data rose to 13.2 points and 2.4 assists. In this season, Curry Curry has grown into the team's outside core. In 35 games played, he averaged 32.3 minutes per game and scored 17.5 points , 1.5 assists, and the three-point shooting percentage reached 43.8%. The storm caused by my brother in the league, coupled with such a strong performance in the NCAA, even if his physical fitness is not good, his defense is also very bad. It should be no problem for Seth Curry to enter the league. However, Seth Curry has an ankle injury. Having to undergo surgery after the NCAA season ends, the hidden danger of injury has greatly affected his draft market, and he may even be reduced to a draft pick.

The news that the Nets paid attention to Curry did not conceal it from the outside world. Jiang Mingliang had two intentions. Few teams are staring at them. Let Seth Curry enter the NBA as a second-round pick. It must be easier to get attention than being a draft pick. If Seth Curry really becomes a draft pick, the Nets You can also sign him with a basic salary contract, give him a better training environment, and let him adapt to the NBA.

As an all-round weakened version of his brother, Seth's ability to create shooting opportunities on the offensive end is far from Stephen's, and other offensive methods other than shooting cannot be compared with his brother, and on the defensive end. It is impossible to get any chance in the Nets, Jiang Mingliang is sure of this. The reason why he did this was also to give Curry a favor,
