NBA: Start with 20 billion, buy the Knicks

"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.

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.

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 abilities.

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!"

Chapter 95: Who is the best new Knicks player?

After the meeting, Sean Marks came over to ask Jiang Chao what bargaining chip he could use to trade the United Arab Emirates, who was not for sale and so on.

Jiang Chao just said one thing, try to operate without getting a draft pick.

And use the old players before.

The reason why he said that he was not in a hurry in front of the coaches before was to let the old players try their best to play their worth, so that it would be easy to sell.

Otherwise, if someone is named and said to be traded, the coaching staff will not give them a chance, and what if other team scouts don't know his status?

Sean Marks rubbed his temples.

In fact, as a manager, it is very difficult to operate if the draft pick cannot be moved. He actually doesn't understand, and he doesn't rebuild, why can't he issue future draft picks?

"Drafting can make gold, believe me, and it's okay to use cash compensation for it when the time comes. For YI, I will do my best."

Jiang Chao didn't say much, the search for draft picks was for a better future.

"It would be even better if you can get draft picks for the next five years, no matter the first round or the second round, the more the better, the second round reward is 5 US dollars, and the first round is 1 US dollars."

"hiss……"

Sean Marks was completely stunned. Why is he hoarding draft picks like this? Is it so important.

But if he really rewarded him like this, he still has confidence. The second round of this thing is still easy to trade.

"I can't rush the matter of YI, wait for the opportunity."

"Well, the trading market was only closed before the All-Star Game, very early."

……

The next day.

Knicks Summer League debut vs. Magic.

After waking up, Jiang Chao went to the private club to lie on his lap and continue to rest. While the young lady squeezed his shoulders, the young lady flipped through the newspaper for him.

After yesterday, all the team rosters came out, and the Knicks also became the team that brought the most players to the Summer League.

There were a lot of gossip in the newspapers, about Jiang Chao being obsessed with guards, satisfying his own desires and so on.

All those who instigated Ah Lian to come to Xia Lian to play.

There are also those who analyze the Knicks roster and say they are not defensive.

There are even those who say that the core is Eddie Curry, who has returned from injury, and Jerome James, the fat man.

The most annoying thing is that there are gossips that Matthews is a bodyguard hired by Jiang Chao and plays part-time.

Jiang Chao just looked at it and smiled.

There are also a lot of criticisms. It seems that Jiang Chao's lineup is too idealistic, and there are too many rookies in the back line.

This full-faced criticism of himself reminded Jiang Chao of something that Downey Jr. said last night, that is, the New York gentry was secretly trying to replace Jiang Chao.

Because they saw the influence of the normal operation of the Knicks, the stock market is now almost back to 3000 points, and they want to replace it.

The main reason is that seeing the market value of the Knicks not falling but rising, I feel uncomfortable when this money is taken by this young man who doesn't know how to play! !

Even though Jiang Chao has been spending money instead of making money recently, the market value of the Knicks has risen much faster than he spent, and now they can make a small profit if they resell it.

"They just wait for the face to be slapped one by one."

Jiang Chao knows that this is driven by public opinion. Generally, a 20-year-old owner may have almost won it. After watching a few games, he can resell it for a profit, but it is impossible for him to sell it again.

The two beautiful masseuses were terrified. Is this young man crazy? The newspapers scolded him, and he was still smiling like this.

Jiang Chao made a phone call to the media he bought:

"You spread the news that the new owner of the Knicks is waiting for the Knicks blacks to kneel and call daddy. He is full of confidence in his lineup and begs them not to become fans."

Then those college students wrote about the respect and obedience of these players to the boss. This is indeed Jiang Chao's rare advantage.

They are all handpicked by themselves, so they are naturally more cohesive.

In order to let the players free their hands and feet, Jiang Chao did not go to the scene to watch the first game.

Sean Marks also did not go under the advice of the young marshal.

Everyone is a rookie, and it is the first time they are exposed to an NBA-level arena. Let's get used to it first, and let alone, several people have never seen Jiang Chao, and they are even a little afraid of this crazy boss.

"In the first game, let the fuck go, don't play tactics, and see what they will do when they play themselves."

The young marshal reported to Jiang Chao.

"Well, look at the chemical reaction, which ones are more calling, try to make them present at the same time as much as possible."

Summer League was originally a long-term show for fans to watch rookies. There were only a few hundred seats, and it started in an ordinary training hall. It was only broadcast live in the United States, and TV stations in other countries did not buy copyrights.

What's so good about the warm-up game.

If the team's executives are all sitting on the bench, the rookies will definitely play with their hands tied, but they can't let go of their nature like playing wild ball.

Jiang Chao didn't have time to read it either, because he was writing the exclusive playbook for this lineup for the Knicks to use for the next season.

Elevator doors, bull-horn pick-and-rolls, double-bottom corner smoking, hand-to-hand rapid fire... These are the tactics that have been tested by later generations and are suitable for Kuha, Ibaka and others. After writing these down, they will be unreservedly given to the coaching staff for reference .

Why do you say that you have no reservations, because he is half a bucket of water, and he was not really a basketball coach in his previous life. He believes that the young coaches and the others will develop their tactics more perfectly.

As an old fan, he can recall a lot of tactics when he thinks about it in his mind. It's the same sentence, avoid detours and detours, so that the coaching staff would spend three or four seasons to figure out things once in half a season. The season can be figured out, try to speed up the rhythm of the team's promotion to a strong team.

His pressure is the greatest, the young boss, the main business is the team, record, ticket attendance, star quality, return rate of surrounding industries, are all things he has to bear.

Just like the media judged him today.

The operation belongs to the operation, which is pushing oneself to the position of riding a tiger.

It would be fun if the Knicks were even worse by this time next season...

……

That night.

At the hotel buffet, Sean Marks and Jiang Chao were sitting face to face.

"How do you say, how are those rookies doing?" Jiang Chao said while nibbling on an apple.

"Boss, why don't you watch TV?"

Sean Marks spread his hands, he was nervously watching the live broadcast at the hotel, Jiang Chao, who cared so much about the team, didn't watch the live broadcast?

"What's the point of watching TV? It's a waste of time."

"That's right, we won by 13 points. The Magic are all players in the Development League. It must be relatively easy." Stone traded for Carter, and the players were all welcoming Carter in Orlando. The players from the Las Vegas side were all three-legged cats, and they couldn't see the chemical reaction of the Knicks.

"What about the two lottery tickets?"
