NBA: I am the god of basketball

Chapter 292 The big ball dominates the Nets, first win 66 in the new season

In Brooklyn, New York, Jokic, who rushed here to report for work, got his wish and caught up with the private training camp that Wang Chao conducts almost every year.

All the players who have been in the Rockets have never heard of Wang Chao's offseason private training camp, and as long as the Rockets players have participated in this training camp, their strength has improved to a great extent without exception, at least They all start with tens of millions of contracts.

Last year, Jokic participated in Wang Chao's private training camp due to various reasons, including wrangling in the European league and his own weight loss.

This season, Jokic has always been worrying about gains and losses. After all, he has only a handful of playing time, so he has to wonder if he is the only rookie Wang Chao has missed.

He never expected that after Wang Chao left the Rockets, he would not forget to take him away. With the Nets previously buying out Deron and Joe Johnson, and Brook Lopez out of the contract, the Nets The salary space of China is fully owned by signing Wang Chao's right-hand man-any one of Leonard and Butler.

But Wang Chao did not do that. Instead, he took him away. This is enough to show that in Wang Chao's heart, he has a relatively important position. It's better for the team to give Whiteside and Gobert a third backup center.

After arriving at the Nets' report, Jokic couldn't wait to rush to the arena rented by Wang Chao.

It is not so much the arena leased by Wang Chao, as it is the arena opened to Wang Chao by the rich owner of the Nets for free. It is almost just a symbolic fee. The entire arena was full before the new season started. Forget what Wang Chao said.

Wang Chao also took this opportunity to call some Nets players here for training.

Relying on his fame and the appeal of Wang Chao's private training camp, almost all the Nets players who have contracts with the team have arrived, including the original team boss Deron Williams.

In front of Wang Chao, Delong didn't dare to act like a big brother. Wang Chao was drafted earlier than him and became famous earlier. More importantly, his personal honor and team honor all crushed Delong.

In front of Wang Chao, Deron's only advantage is that he was a first-round pick in the NBA draft, and he was still in the lottery, while Wang Chao was just a second-round pick, nothing more.

After Wang Chao officially announced to join the Brooklyn Nets, Deron publicly stated that Wang Chao is the boss of the team, and now he just wants to assist Wang Chao with all his strength to win the first championship of his career as soon as possible.

De Xiaopang has really had a bad life in recent years. After he betrayed his teacher Sloan and came to the Nets, Delong knew what it means to be indifferent to the world. Injuries led to a decrease in explosive power and a decline in his competitive state. Deron quickly lost a large number of players. Fans, even home fans of the Brooklyn Nets booed him on the court last year.

Therefore, Delong very much hopes to take advantage of Wang Chao's wave of east wind to rejuvenate his second career, and let those watching the fun take a good look.

Therefore, Delong gave up his vacation plan and took the initiative to participate in Wang Chao's training camp.

The result is that Wang Chao found out after taking stock that the number of participants in his training camp was unprecedentedly large this time. Almost all the players from the Nets came. Several rookies such as Booker, Harrell and Powell were not even willing to play. The summer league also wanted to train with Wang Chao all the time, which really made it difficult for Nets general manager Billy King.

Is Wang Chao's private training camp really that magical?

The answer is yes.

Winning the championship this season, as always, gave Wang Chao a large number of points rewards, allowing him to exchange a lot of training potions for daily training.

At present, Wang Chao is already a standard stat monster, and there are no obvious shortcomings in all stats. It is very difficult to improve a little through training. Therefore, in order to maximize the cost performance, more training potions are used in combination with other training potions to train teammates. Strength is also a good choice.

Some people may think that this way of spending resources on teammates and making them stronger is tantamount to breeding tigers. There is absolutely no shortage of guys in this alliance who want to fly when their wings grow hard. Cultivate a white-eyed wolf It's really disgusting to come out.

However, in order to prevent this from happening, the system seems to have specially drawn a limit. Only those who have a relationship with Wang Chao above 60 can enjoy the bonus relationship of the sparring potion.

Anyone whose relationship reaches this level, even if they are not Wang Chao's good friends, are still his loyal admirers.

Just like in this training camp, less than half of the players can actually enjoy Wang Chao's training potion.

Jokic brought by Wang Chao from the Rockets counts as one, and the three rookies selected in the draft can also be counted.

Almost all rookies who have recently joined the league do not admire Wang Chao. After all, Wang Chao has just won the seventh championship in his career, surpassing Jordan.

They were still young when Jordan played, and they didn't see how the basketball god played, but they could see how Wang Chao played in the past ten years, how he took a step from an unknown second-round show Step by step to grow to No.1 in NBA history.

To be able to play with Wang Chao on the same team, and to be told that they were chosen by Wang Chao personally, because he was optimistic about their development potential, this is like a bloodbath for the three rookies. The adoration simply cannot be overstated.

Wang Chao didn't even spend much effort, and the relationship between the three of them easily reached over 60.

As for the original players of the Nets, not many have a relationship with Wang Chao above 60.

Brook Lopez, who just renewed his contract with the team for $3 million in three years, did not meet the standard.

This does not mean that Lopez does not like or dislike Wang Chao, but as an All-Star player in his prime, he does not desire the championship as much as Deron and Joe Johnson, who are already considered veterans. Wang Chao's opinion is just "ah, the team has such a good player, maybe there is a chance to win the championship next time".

This is the normal reaction that ordinary players should have. As Lopez and Wang Chao get to know each other better, the relationship can be further improved.
-
After daily training, most players are already lying on the floor exhausted, not even wanting to move.

Wang Chao's training volume is quite large, because he needs to fully exert the effect of the physical potion as much as possible. He has long been accustomed to such a training volume, but not everyone can bear it.

Jordan once founded the "Breakfast Club" and was famous in the league for his terrifying devil training. It was decades of hard training that created the brilliant career resume of the basketball god.

Wang Chao's training volume is even more than Jordan's. What is even more speechless is that after the training is over, he can still do other things alive and well.

After training, Wang Chao went to the locker room to take a shower. After changing into casual clothes, he came to the arena and looked at the players who were still slumped on the ground. He smiled and said, "Rookies, take your time to rest. I have Date, let's go first!"

As he spoke, he briskly walked out of the arena under the gaze of a group of people looking at animals.
-
The main reason why Wang Chao chose the Nets is because the Nets are located in Brooklyn, New York, and it takes less than 10 kilometers from Brooklyn to Manhattan.

This is very convenient for Wang Chao to go home and live with Miranda and Xiao Keer every day.

When she was in Houston, Miranda only stayed for a short time, and most of the time she took Kerr to settle in New York.

It is naturally a pleasure to have the opportunity to spend more time with my lovely little angels and archangels.

Candice Swanepoel would occasionally come here to stay for a few days. Originally, because of Wang Chao, the relationship between Candice and Miranda was not very harmonious, but I didn't expect Candice to be so friendly to Xiao Keer. I like it very much, and even became Xiao Keer's godmother. Of course, in the United States, she should be regarded as a godmother.

The existence of little Ke'er eased the relationship between Candice and Miranda a lot, and at the same time made Candice more aware that she really couldn't have a child so early.

Having a child is not only a continuation of love, but also a responsibility. It is not a responsible behavior to blindly give birth to a child before you have enough time and energy to take care of the child yourself.

Seeing that Candice can figure it out, Wang Chao is also very happy. It is really cool that the backyard is not on fire. He can even flip cards like the ancient emperors, one three five with Miranda, two four six with Candice It's raining, as for the weekend, it's not impossible to come together depending on the mood.

Anyway, Wang Chao is not afraid of weak waist, his body is strong enough, and it has the same effect as the stamina potion bug.

All in all, during the few months of the offseason, Wang Chaochao was very comfortable, and during this period, the league's various trades, signings and reinforcements were still in full swing.

What is more worth mentioning is that Jimmy Butler, who decided to leave the Rockets and start a new life, finally found his next home.

He chose the San Antonio Spurs.

The Spurs have been one of the strongest teams in the league for the past ten years, including this season, their record still exceeded 50 wins and they entered the playoffs.

It's just that the combination of Duncan + Howard's inside twin towers is still not enough, at least slightly weaker than with Leonard.

However, as Duncan grows old, his new contract with the Spurs is only $500 million in annual salary, which allows the Spurs to have enough salary space to sign an All-Star player.

In the original time and space, the Spurs' choice was to poach All-Star power forward LaMarcus Aldridge from the Portland Trail Blazers to replace Duncan.

But now the Spurs have Howard, even though Howard is no longer the number one center in the league who won three consecutive DPOYs a few years ago, with the help of Popovich's system, Howard is not as bad as he was in the Rockets at the same time. It's really a bit of Duncan's shadow when he plays well.

After all, Duncan has never been a super scorer in his career. He still uses his offensive and defensive skills on the court, especially to help the team in defense.

With Howard on the inside, the Spurs were naturally no longer interested in Aldridge, and instead pursued Butler, and relied on the three-inch tongue of the old uncle lobby formed by Popovich to get Butler It was heart-pounding to say, and I am glad to join.

Of course, as a restricted free agent, although Butler insists on leaving, the Rockets will not let him go easily, and they have to get some meat from the Spurs before they are willing to say anything.

The result was that Butler finally renewed his contract with a 4-year contract of 7400 million U.S. dollars by signing first and then trading, and then traded with the Spurs, in exchange for two first-round picks from the Spurs.

Being able to blackmail two first-round picks is pretty good for the Rockets. This is also the biggest condition the Spurs can afford.

In this way, the Spurs' lineup is old GDP+Howard+Butler, and their strength on paper cannot be underestimated.

Popovich can build the main trident with Butler, Howard and Parker, and let Duncan and Ginobili support the two.

In addition, the Spurs also have outstanding role players such as Danny Green, Mills, David West and Diaw, and have become one of the favorites to win the championship. Warriors.

Speaking of the Cavaliers and Warriors, these two teams are also very busy this summer.

The Cavaliers have several players whose contracts have expired, including Tristan Thompson, Iman Shumpert and others whose rookie contracts have expired, and LeBron James who chose to opt out of the contract.

跳出合同的詹姆斯与球队重新签下一份1+1的合同，这次2年4700万，平均年薪2350万美元。

The Eight Sage Kings and Iman Shumpert, like the original history, started a long wrangling contract renewal issue with the team under the acquiescence of James.

Not surprisingly, Iman Shumpert will get a 4-year contract worth 4000 million yuan, with an average annual salary of over 5 million yuan, while Tristan Thompson is even more exaggerated because his agent is the same person as James , That is, Rich Paul, the latter can coerce the emperor to make the princes, and he just forced the Cavaliers to renew Thompson with 8200 years and [-] million US dollars.

You must know that this season, Thompson averaged only 8.5 points and 8 rebounds per game, and he actually got a contract close to the maximum salary. Even Rich Paul's initial offer was a maximum salary of 5 million for five years.

It is precisely because of this exaggerated super big contract that Tristan Thompson has since gained the title of Eight Wise Kings.

As long as you hug me, Zhan Huang's thigh, you will have meat to eat. This is true. Basically, players who have a better relationship with James can get good treatment in the same team as him. The knife guard James Jones, the second knife guard JR. Smith, the Eight Sage Kings and Shumpert are all very vivid examples.

From the perspective of fans, James' behavior may not be very good. It is completely cheating the team owner, forcing the opponent to spend money that should not be wasted, and at the same time completely blocking the way for the Cavaliers to sign and strengthen in the future.

But if you change the angle, from the perspective of James' friend, or from the perspective of a migrant worker, it would not be too sweet to have such a thigh by your side.

As a player, James is a rare presence in the NBA that can squeeze wool from capital.

Every step of his is planned before he goes, and he will never let himself fall into a passive position. Decision 1, decision 2, and decision 3 to join the Lakers. Looking back, every step James takes is incomparable. correct.

No matter how many people criticize James' three decisions now, thinking that he is not worthy, but the undeniable fact is that through his own decisions and actions, James has indeed become a stable player in the NBA's historical position ranked by the world's mainstream media. No.2.

Unlike Jordan, who was able to wait for a top helper like Pippen, and Kobe, who had O'Neal as his partner and lived in Rome when he first entered the league, James walked out of a broad road in his own way, no matter how loud the controversy and doubts are. He stood on President Hill.

Now if you imagine that James didn't leave the Cavaliers and insisted on one man, one city like Kobe and Duncan, what kind of honor would he have in the end?

There is a high probability that four regular season MVPs can be won, but the championship... will not exceed 2 at most.

As long as you count the finals teams in the West after Decision One, and then think about the number and quality of stars that the Cavaliers can attract in a small market, it is not surprising to come to such a conclusion.

If it's 2 crowns, 2FMVP plus 4 MVP, it may be difficult for James to rank in the top ten in history.

The best reference example is Antetokounmpo's Milwaukee Bucks.

When Antetokounmpo led the Bucks to win the championship, countless people mocked James.

Take a good look, the Bucks are also a small ball market, won't they just win the championship?It's not like you, if you don't win the championship, you will pack up and run away. When Antetokounmpo wins the second and third championships, his historical status will directly surpass James.

But the result is that after winning the championship, the Bucks fell into the sand in the playoffs for two consecutive seasons. Facts have proved that the road to the championship for a team in a small market is so bumpy and rugged.

Antetokounmpo has experienced surpassing James, understanding James, and not being as good as James (being hacked), I don't know if he will become James.

But in this time and space, this theory may not be very useful, because there is a strange man, not only does not escape from the small market team, but also plunges into it, clamoring for the team that has not won the championship in team history. Win the championship.

That's right, this strange thing is Wang Chao!
The topic is far away, let's go back to the issue of signings.

There is a high probability that the Cavaliers' salary space will be filled by the Eight Sage Kings and Shumpert, the guard with a knife. Wait until next year when Paul Gasol's contract expires to free up a little salary space to strengthen the team.

But the Cavaliers don't care, the Rockets' high-rise building has collapsed, and now the Cavaliers have almost no opponents in front of them, and only the Warriors in the West are a little bit threatening.

As for Wang Chao's Nets... Even if he beat James to death, he wouldn't believe that Wang Chao could lead such a poor team to beat him again!
The main job of the Warriors and Cavaliers this summer is the same, which is to keep the current lineup as much as possible.

At present, the contracts of many people in the Warriors team have expired, including Klay Thompson and Drummond Green.

The former has reached a contract renewal agreement with the Warriors in advance, with a four-year 4 million maximum salary renewal, and the new contract will automatically take effect after entering the 7000-15 season, with a starting salary of 16 million US dollars.

And Draymond Green also needs a high-paying contract extension due to his eye-catching performance after starting this season.

In order to free up enough salary space, the Warriors chose to trade All-Star power forward David Lee to leave the team, and then offered Green a five-year $5 million contract extension.

David Lee used to be the absolute main force of the Warriors. At his peak, he averaged 20+10 per game. Before Steve Kerr coached the Warriors, he was always the team’s main starting power forward. Stable around 18+9.

But as Cole coached the Warriors in the 14-15 season, this season, he pushed Green to the starting position despite all opinions, and after David Lee was replaced, his data plummeted. This season, he only scored 7.9 points. Rebounds, it is natural to be swept out by the team's trade.

In this way, the Warriors also successfully retained the main lineup of last season, and are the second favorite to win the championship after the Cavaliers.

The Warriors must be thankful that when they renewed Curry's previous contract, they only used a four-year, $4 million contract, which can be called a cheap child labor contract. player's capital.

Curry, Thompson, Green, Cousins, Barnes and Iguodala, as long as Curry ushers in the explosive period of his personal competitive state as in the original historical process, the Warriors still have the ability to compete in the 15-16 season. Achieved a record of 73 wins and 9 losses, breaking the record of 72 wins held by the Bulls and Rockets.

Wang Chao found that, like last season, the two biggest opponents on the road to the championship are still the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors. The difference is that Wang Chao’s Brooklyn Nets are in a new season. In the East, the playoffs have to face the Cavaliers first, and after passing the Cavaliers, they will play against the Warriors in the finals.

In the first season of the establishment of the team, there was one thing to say, and Wang Chao himself was not fully sure.

Two fists are hard to beat four hands, no matter how strong Wang Chao is, he still can't do 1v5 in the arena.

The current lineup of the Nets looks very strong, but the age of the players is a very serious problem, especially Devin Booker, who is regarded as the second scoring point in the team by Wang Chao, is now just a first-year rookie, too immature .

In the private training camp, Wang Chao gave Booker, Leonard, and Butler the same treatment, one-on-one every day.

As a result, Booker's performance was worse than that of Leonard and Butler in his rookie period. It's okay to have poor defensive ability. Can't attack with the ball, so it is difficult to even score 1 point in most cases when heads-up.

Devin Booker has truly evolved into a top scorer in the league, a big core that can attack with the ball, until after the 17-18 season.

Of course, with Wang Chao's current "special" care and the blessing of sparring potions, Booker's growth rate will be much faster than before. The ball offense is better polished. After all, looking at the entire league, there is no second player with a better ball-handling ability than Wang Chao.

The problem is not only Booker, Jokic, the main insider, also needs to grow, because after staying with Wang Chao for a season, Jokic is definitely stronger now than when he first entered the league in the 15-16 season , but definitely not as strong as the MVP period of the next two consecutive regular seasons.

Before the two top stars have fully grown up, the most reliable helpers around Wang Chao are the Nets' All-Star center Brook Lopez, and Deron and Joe Johnson at the end of their careers.

If it was the first two years, Wang Chao still had the confidence to take this lineup to compete for the championship, but in the last two years, it is a bit unfavorable, because the league has entered the era of super strong teams.

The Cavaliers have James, Irving, Embiid, and Gasol.

The Warriors have Curry, Thompson, Cousins, and Green.

Before Booker and Jokic grew up a little, it was indeed very difficult for the Nets to compete with these two aircraft carriers.

Although Wang Chao is very confident, he is not so conceited. Jordan does not have Pippen, and he plays in the first round every year. Even if Wang Chao is stronger than Jordan now, the opponents he faces are stronger than those of Jordan back then.

At the beginning of September, Wang Chao officially signed a contract with the Nets and attended the official press conference of the Nets.

In the press conference, Wang Chao promised to bring the Nets a championship within three years.

At that time, a reporter stood up and asked questions.

"Mr. Wang Chao, you said that you will definitely bring the Nets a championship within three years. Does this mean that you have no confidence to lead the team to win the championship next summer?"

Wang Chao looked at the reporter who asked the question and asked, "Then do you think the Nets have a chance to win the championship next year? Or can you talk about your views on the current lineup of the Nets?"

"I think the current lineup of the Nets is very strong." The reporter continued: "The team not only introduced you, Mr. Wang Chao, the strongest player in the league, but also retained the original team of the Nets through buyout and re-signing. The main lineup, both Deron and Joe have returned. This team broke into the playoffs last season. It is not a weak team. With you on this basis, it is naturally qualified to win the championship. powerful."

Wang Chao raised his eyebrows slightly.

The general manager of the Nets, Billy King, who was sitting next to him, leaned over and said in a low voice, "This is a reporter from a local New York media."

When Wang Chao heard this, he suddenly realized.

New York reporter.

Although the Nets are also a New York team, they understand everything. Just like the Los Angeles Clippers, New York is the territory of the Knicks. It has only been more than three years since the Nets moved to Brooklyn. How can they get the Nets here? Come out to show off?
Almost all the media in New York are on the side of the Knicks, but the Knicks are not doing well recently. After Anthony played 40 games, he was reimbursed for the season due to injury. the last one.

That's all for the bottom of the league, and the No. [-] pick was stolen by the Lakers who were second to last. The Knicks, who failed to get Towns, can only choose one Porzingis. The record in the new season may not improve.

Under such circumstances, the country bumpkins from the same city stepped on shit luck to get the No.1 Wang Chao in history, and directly became a powerful team in the league.

The strong sense of contrast is enough to make people jealous to hideous.

This is also the reason why the reporters will praise and kill Wang Chao and the Nets in a strange way.

But anyone who knows the NBA knows that the Nets' lineup last season was not strong at all, and they were able to enter the playoffs entirely because of the low competitiveness in the Eastern Conference. The Nets' record last season did not even have 40 wins. With a winning rate of 50%, it can only be ranked outside the top ten in the West, and it is only because of the weak competitiveness in the East that it is eligible to enter the playoffs.

Moreover, even if the two teams with the highest odds of winning the championship before the start of the new season, the Cavaliers and Warriors dare not speak lightly, it is extremely unreasonable to ask Wang Chao and the Nets to make such a promise.

Of course Wang Chao wouldn't be fooled by such a childish trick, but since the other party disgusted him, it's not in his character not to go back with disgust.

"I admit that with the current strength of the Nets, it is indeed difficult to win the championship, but it doesn't matter, we just need to perform better than our competitors in the same city."

Wang Chao had a faint smile on his face, and his tone was calm, but it made the faces of most New York local media reporters present darken.

"What was the record of the Knicks last season? Oh, I remember it was 16 wins and 66 losses? It's exaggerated, tsk tsk..."

Wang Chao's angry tone was so cheap that it made people's teeth itch.

"Now I can make a promise in advance. In the new season, I will help the Nets achieve a record of 66 wins and 16 losses. It's just symmetrical. How good it is."

The reporters on the scene who heard Wang Chao's words almost turned their noses.

Exactly symmetrical?Who the fuck are you going to kill?

Obviously, Wang Chao really disgusted them.

But the expression on the face of Billy King, the general manager sitting beside Wang Chao, also froze.

Wang Chao really dare to say, 66 wins and 16 losses?Do you think it is as simple as eating and drinking water?
Looking at the history of the NBA, teams with a record of more than 66 wins can be counted with two hands. Without exception, these teams are the top teams in the league, just like the Rockets during the three-peat championship period and the Magic for the three-peat championship.

Although these teams also have excellent records under the leadership of Wang Chao, the Magic also has Howard, and the Rockets also have Yao, Garnett, Leonard and other strong teammates.

Does Wang Chao in the Nets expect Brook Lopez to help him win 66 games?

Although Lopez is a star player, even Billy King knows that his strength is limited. So far in his 7-year career, he has only been selected as an All-Star substitute once, and has never been selected to the best team. He can be regarded as Wang Chao's side The weakest star duo yet.

but……

Looking at a group of New York reporters who were gnashing their teeth by Wang Chao, Billy King felt a burst of relief in his heart.

As the general manager of the Nets, since the team moved to Brooklyn, they have been ridiculed by the local media in New York, mocking them as country bumpkins.

The reason why the Nets spent huge sums of money to build a championship lineup in the first two seasons was that on the one hand, the boss had a lot of money, and on the other hand, they wanted to make some achievements for the group of guys who looked down on them to take a good look.

It's a pity that things backfired. As a result of paying high luxury taxes for two consecutive years, the Nets were ridiculed even more.

"The NBA doesn't win championships with money, so learn from it, country bumpkin!"

This group of New Yorkers who are still complacent about holding the Knicks championship honor more than 40 years ago finally feel unhappy now.

After the press conference, the local media in New York couldn't wait to criticize Wang Chao and the Nets.

"Arrogant Chinese people, the whole world is ready for the moment when Wang Chao meets Waterloo."

"Wang Chao doesn't seem to understand that his success in the Suns, Magic and Rockets is not due to him alone. He has achieved too many achievements and made him completely floated. 66 wins, it seems ignorant and ridiculous!"

"Wang Chao didn't dare to promise to lead the team to win the championship in the first year, but he was sure that the team could win 66 wins in the first season. What kind of psychology is it? I dare to say, let alone within three years, even if it is five or ten years... …until Wang Chao retires, it is impossible for him to win a championship with the Nets!"

The consequences of offending the New York media are quite serious. The anxious media reporters don't care if you are a billionaire or not, they will spray you to death.

But Wang Chao would naturally not be affected by their voices.

The work of the Nets is proceeding in an orderly manner.

In mid-September, the Nets began to call players back to the team. Since most of the Nets players are participating in Wang Chao's private training camp, it is very convenient to report.

The coaching staff of the Nets are also all in place, and they have begun to prepare for training and prepare for the new season.

The head coach of the Nets is Lionel Hollins, who used to be the head coach of the Memphis Grizzlies. From the 08-09 season to the 12-13 season, he single-handedly trained the Grizzlies inside black and white duo. The best result of leading the team was the Grizzlies record of 12 wins and 13 losses in the regular season in the 56-26 season. In the same year, the playoffs also reached the Western Conference Finals, and then they were swept by the Thunder 4:0.

The above achievements are the original historical process, and this time and space where Wang Chao is located has not happened.

Although due to the butterfly effect, the Grizzlies did not have a bright performance in the 12-13 season, but the record is not too bad, still 50+ wins, and the Grizzlies are still the most tenacious and strongest in the league. A tough nut to crack.

In 2013, after the end of the regular season, Hollins resigned as the head coach of the Grizzlies, and became the head coach of the Nets a year later in the 14-15 season.

The record of the Nets last season was very mediocre, and Hollins also took a lot of blame. If the original historical process is followed, Hollins will be fired by the Nets in the middle of the new season. From then on, he can only join the NBA as an assistant coach In the next 19-20 season, he will serve as an assistant coach with the Los Angeles Lakers to win the 19-20 NBA championship.

In general, this is a head coach with something, but not much, don't expect him to have a very high level of coaching like Popovich, Kerr, Budenholzer, Stevens Level and Midas ability.

However, Wang Chao, who has his own system, does not need an excellent head coach. Just like McHale of the Rockets, the opponent only needs to have the basic functions of a head coach and be able to lick enough at the same time. The training and analysis are handed over to the coaching staff, and everyone performs their duties without interfering with each other.

With Wang Chao's status in the arena, such requirements and arrangements, no one in the Nets dared to say a word.

The biggest ball bully of the Rockets came to the Nets and still has the attributes of a ball bully. From the first day of reporting on the team, many players saw the clues.

The team management and coaching staff all revolve around Wang Chao, as if Wang Chao is the team owner.

Although Wang Chao, who is worth more than 30 billion, is already richer than many team owners in the league, he certainly does not include Prokhorov, the local rich owner of the Nets, who is the richest man in Goose Country with assets of tens of billions.

Strictly speaking, Prokhorov is approximately equal to 4 Wang Chao.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is the attitude of the Nets management and coaching staff towards Wang Chao. Those Nets players who are still relatively unfamiliar with Wang Chao know that they can mess with anyone in the team, but they must not mess with him. Wang Chao.

Soon, all members of the Nets saw the extent of Wang Chao's dictatorship.

It took only one day for all members to report, and the team determined the main lineup for the new season. To be precise, Wang Chao unilaterally handed over the main lineup to the head coach Hollins.

In this way, even the formal training has not officially started, the Nets' starting and substitute lists have been determined first.

The starting five are Wang Chao, Devin Booker, Bojan Bogdanovic, Brook Lopez, Nikola Jokic.

Primary rotation substitutes Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, secondary rotation substitutes Montrezl Harrell, Norman Powell.

The other players are all bench substitutes.

This list makes both Deron and Joe Johnson a little bit dissatisfied. After all, both of them were the starters of the Nets before. With a contract of 2000 million, they are all expected to play as substitutes in the new season?
But in the face of Wang Chao, even though they were dissatisfied in their hearts, they did not dare to speak out.

In the final analysis, after the two reached a buyout agreement with the team, they were willing to join the Nets with a low salary. In the second spring, re-sign a big pension contract.

From this point of view, they have no qualifications to make trouble at all, and according to the positioning given by Wang Chao, although the two are substitutes, they both have a rotation time of more than 25 minutes and belong to the status of the sixth person, so they are not completely Can not accept.

According to the list provided by Wang Chao, the Nets started training before the new season.

The Nets in the new season have a completely different lineup from the Rockets. They do not play small ball tactics, and mainly revolve around the combination of the 2-meter Jokic and the 11-meter Lopez inside.

Of course, the team's absolute main control core must still be Wang Chao, but when the Nets' inside twin towers grow up and can play a strong enough dominance, this lineup will evolve into an internal and external dual-core drive. Booker's growth will definitely beat the Cavaliers and Warriors, the strongest teams in the league at this stage. This is also the biggest basic set for Wang Chao to be confident that he can lead the Nets to win the championship within three years!
