NBA: Start with 20 billion, buy the Knicks

Chapter 94 The lineup is confirmed, five shots are dead, and the young marshal's whimsy

Chapter 94: The lineup is confirmed, Five Shots is dead, the marshal's whimsy

"Seven guards?"

Messina was taken aback, but don't come back again, and this is still a relationship.

Sun Yue actually knows that last year's Olympics was very dazzling, but there was no bright spot for the Lakers, and the rare playing time obviously did not reach the level of an NBA guard.

And he is one year older than Matthews. If he comes to the Knicks, he will be a good relationship.

So D'Antoni also said that the Development League contract is suitable for him to practice.

"Boss, it doesn't seem to work now. Sun Yue signed a summer league contract with the Lakers, and he can only sign after the summer league."

Why does D'Antoni know Sun Yue so well, because the former boss Dolan wanted him very much.

But it seems that Jiang Chao is not as eager as Dolan, probably because he thinks that the Chinese market does not need to do this.

"Okay, when Sean Marks comes later, you ask him to sign him to the Westchester Knicks (subsidiary team) for one season. If his team has any questions, just call me."

Naturally, Jiang Chao also knew that it was impossible to forcibly promote Sun Yue. Domestic defenders had always been recruited, so they could only do it step by step. The Lakers selected Sun Dasheng in the second round for the Chinese market, and Jiang Chao had no shortage. He himself was the Chinese market.

But he also knows that Sun Yue is the strongest defender in China after Hu Weidong, and he will have to rely on him for the next few years.

Jiang Chao will do the training of youth training in the future, but he will also do the locomotive pulling up. Without the locomotive in front, the speed of the youth carriages behind will not be fast.

However, in the previous life, Sun Yue actually got the official contract from Dolan after winning the championship, but after signing for a month, he was terminated because of his poor performance in the preseason.

Dolan obviously wants him to bring him to the Chinese market, but he is really not as good as a Chinese insider. There is still a big gap between NBA guards in all aspects.

Everyone knows what happened afterwards. The Aoshen Group, which only allowed him to play in the NBA and the national team, did not officially enter the CBA until 14 after Sun Yue returned to China...

But even so, he was still able to lead the Imperial Capital team to win the championship for the first time, which shows how strong Sun Dasheng's talent is.

"no problem."

Sean Marks, who has dealt with Matthews' affairs here, also returned to the team.

Jiang Chao was the first to ask him about another Chinese player, Yi Jianlian.

Sean Marks said he had no direct contact either.

But YI won the respect of the Knicks generals in the training match held by Big Q three days ago.

Then YI also felt the meaning of the Knicks, and also said that he would come to Las Vegas with the Nets Summer League team.

The drunken man doesn't mean to drink, everyone knows that.

Although there are objections from both the league and the Nets, what does the spontaneous behavior of the players have to do with the Knicks?
Everyone knows Jiang Chao's heart, and New York fans know that YI will definitely find ways to come to the Knicks.

After all, compared to Dayao whose return date from injury is uncertain, YI is younger and more aggressive, and his annual salary is $319 million in the third year of his rookie contract, which is quite suitable for the Knicks' current lineup.

Sean Marks: "Boss, about YI, do you want me to contact the Nets now?"

Jiang Chao: "We can look for opportunities, or the same sentence, we don't do things that are disadvantaged, and our current lineup is still relatively complete. Let the Nets see that I want YI and then they will ask for a lot of money."

D'Antoni: "The Nets will rebuild after losing Carter this season. They should sell us a favor. Our method of cash + players should be achievable. Let's see how the players perform at Summer League."

Jiang Chao: "Okay, you have been following up on this matter, Yi Jianlian is a good player, we will need him."

"I will simulate the trading method with Mr. D'Antoni, and I will not talk to the Nets first."

Sean Marks and the young coach nodded. In the training game that Downey Jr. secretly recorded, although Yi Jianlian didn't have enough confrontation, he didn't have many skills at the basket, and Big Q and they also said that Yi was too boring and didn't get along well with them. Communication is meaningless.

But the flaws do not conceal the advantages, he can pop up jump shots, fly dunks, and return to defense quickly... plus his salary, even if the boss doesn't mention it, he is definitely a good player.

The problem now is actually not whether Yi Jianlian is strong or not, but that it is difficult for New York to trade, okay? It is cheap and the Nets' first-level insider, so it is not so easy to trade.

"Boss, apart from YI, the lineup should not change next season, right?"

The young marshal asked weakly. In fact, many players in the team have already asked him many times. Don't trade any more. People's hearts will be unstable.

There is a newcomer here today, can you not be afraid?

We must know that other teams may have half of the main players. Because the Knicks have a lot of rookies, the main players and rookies come together to practice in games. They also want to show themselves to the boss.

Jiang Chao knew what he meant, and said with a smile: "Well, next season will basically be this group of people, and the lineup is confirmed."

"Young Marshal, is this lineup okay?" General Manager Xiao En looked at Stevens with a smile.

"Okay, this lineup is fine!"

Stevens' eyes were determined.

Messina sent messages to David Lee and Gallinelli, reassuring them to put on their orange and blue jerseys.

The two jumped up downstairs, that was really happy.

The seniors in the team already wanted to play for this brand-new team, but Jiang Chaoshi's operations from time to time made everyone except the rookie and Turkey feel uneasy.

The media has said that it seems that Jiang Chao will replace all the people under Dolan's leadership, so they don't sleep well one day, and they are afraid that they will be traded to other cities when they wake up.

And now I can finally fall asleep!
Thank goodness!

The boss finally confirmed the lineup!
These two are actually quite stable, Jiang Chao is not so cold-blooded, okay, Li Ge and Jiali are too serious homeless attributes in later generations, Jiang Chao sympathizes with these two capable players, and will not move them this season.

After all, a prototype of the future Warriors Death Five, one is a tough Italian cannon, and they are not bad role players.

Then it was time for the coaching staff to report.

Mark Jackson read:
Point guards: Stephen Curry, Patty Mills, Beverley
Shooting guard: James Harden, Larry Hughes, Danny Green, Matthews (summer union contract, to be determined)

Small forwards: Turkoglu, Gallinelli, Quentin Richardson
Power forwards: Tim Thomas, Serge Ibaka, David Lee
Center: Okur, Eddie Curry, Jerome James.

"Now there are enough people. The rookies have not yet confirmed their contracts. There must be 1-2 two-way contracts."

"The number and lineup are very reasonable." Sean Marks also nodded. In a basketball game, three players in one position are enough to rotate. One team to three teams can be used in case of emergencies.

"Well, are all 16 players here?" Jiang Chao didn't say much. A few players will definitely leave next season, turning most of them into big fish. Now this lineup is no problem for this season.

"Turkey is on the way. Eddie Curry's knee injury did not come. The Jerome James team said that Summer League is prone to injuries and will return to the team during the preseason."

"Call Jerome James, or we won't have a center."

"Ok."

Because the players basically came, the coaching staff also reported to the boss their recent lineup experiments and the requirements of the Summer League.

The guard line is mainly to cultivate the two lottery picks Curry Harden.

Therefore, the starting guard combination for Xialian decided by the young coach is the 09 double iron.

No matter how high the pick is, how many things to do, the two lottery players that the team finally got, must be vigorously cultivated.

"The summer league will average 25+ minutes per game, and the regular season averages about 18 minutes per game. For the record, Larry Hughes and Big Q are needed more often."

"Average more than 25 minutes per game, especially Harden. Don't have so much pressure on the record. Summer League will become 30 minutes."

"Well, let me make arrangements, Big Q makes way for Harden."

Stevens felt bitter. Damn, I was also barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, so I just got it done.

But if the record is poor next season, I have to fulfill the agreement with Carlisle and resign voluntarily.

So Jiang Chao also saw through his little careful thinking at once. More immediate combat power is definitely good for the record, but it is not good for the long-term development of the team.

In his previous life, a ball-handling player like Harden actually didn't play well in his rookie season, and his average playing time was only 20 minutes per game, which was not enough for him to perform.

On the contrary, Curry was given an average of 36 minutes of playing time per game by the old Nelson, but the Warriors' record was not required that season, which was tantamount to complete training.

Messina: "Yes, the stars really need to be fed."

Originally, Harden and the others wanted to make a false start. There are too many strong players in the league at the position of shooting guard. Big Q is an immediate combat power that can withstand it.

Even Curry may be a fake starter who first adapts to the intensity, the starting point guard dribbles to the frontcourt to control the rhythm, and the bench lineup of Larry Hughes and Big Q may be a more sophisticated combination of guards.

"Well, give enough playing time and the right to fire, and practice it early, otherwise the guard line will be too immature." Sean Marks has been teammates with the veteran guard line of the Spurs, and knows how important a good guard is to the team.

Now that Duhon, Nate and others are gone, the team urgently needs new players to stand up.

Jiang Chao said with a smile: "When Mr. Pu trained Durant, he averaged 35 minutes per game in the first season, and even 39 minutes per game in the second season. We are still thinking about protecting the players."

"Of course, these two players may not be fully developed physically. It will take about 25 minutes to reduce the risk of injury."

Stevens was seen through by Jiang Chao, and he was even more swayed by the boss's golf quotient, and he almost obeyed.

And in his plan, Coeha really needs to be cultivated.

Then there are big Q, Turk Drew, Okur, and David Lee who are all stable scoring points, and the key ball will go to them first.

Ibaka and Gallinelli are the main sixth man, and the other players are waiting for their chance in the third team.

That is, the starter should be.

Curry.

Harden.

Turk Drew.

David Lee.

Okur.

"Well, be bold in employing people. These players all have their own characteristics."

Jiang Chao briefly talked about the characteristics of a few second-round picks, but he also knows that it is not common to rotate more than a dozen people in this era. Generally, 8-10 people who can really play the ball are enough, so I can only say that he let the coaching staff save money. The time to go astray directly told them the strongest use value of these players.

Beverly, off-ball defender, spiritual pillar, three-pointer to be tapped.

Danny Green, a 3D shooter, can receive unexpected defensive effects on the court with Beverley.

Mills, a microwave three-point shooter.

Jiang Chao's eloquence stunned the teaching assistants.

true or false.

You must know that Jiang Chao was not present when Matthews was singled out.

How does he know these players so well?
And it seems to make sense, these players have already shown their edge in the training game.

In fact, Jiang Chao has even better ideas about the five small concepts of death, but he is afraid that his mother will not be able to accept it now. Curry is paired with 4 blue-collars.

He instilled the concept of 3D and 2D, which is also the concept that Messina likes, that is, every player has a function.

In addition to the team leaders who attack the tough 1V1, every player must have a unique move on the court.

At this time, the young marshal said a little vainly:
"Boss, I really want to use a lineup in Xialian."

"Say, you are the head coach, you can use it however you want."

"Curry + Larry Hughes + Big Q + Turk Drew + Okur, the five-man combination with the strongest three-point ability, can stretch the space to the extreme, which is why I like this team! The space can be Pull it to the extreme!"

"Death five shots? Good idea, use it, Larry Hughes can also be replaced by a pure catch-and-shoot like Danny Green, you can figure it out, it's okay."

"Yes, we have three-point shooters at all five positions, and I think we can play space basketball."

"Team basketball + superstar scoring, this is our basic line for next season."

"You can think about it." Jiang Chao applauded first, as a recognition of their research in the past few days.

Jiang Chao likes the whimsy of the young marshal very much. It is indeed right to choose him. What he wants is this kind of inventive lineup. If he really follows the opponent to play a big center lineup, the position is not the advantage of the current lineup.

Small sharks like Eddie Curry and Jerome James are so rough that he didn't see them.

"Actually, a fast-break lineup is also possible..." D'Antoni couldn't forget to run and gun, and he also wrote a set of running and bombing lineups that could match up with the Suns.

"We also have players in the triangle."

"Three defenders are fine too."

Clifford: "I'll train the five defenses of death!"

Jiang Chao looked at the passionate young coaches, and finally made a summary:

"Tomorrow is the first show of our new lineup. It doesn't matter whether we win or lose. We will play the youthful demeanor of our new Knicks and show a new youth storm, OK?"

"OK!"

"Dismiss!"
