Chapter 54 The second goal

Why Ibaka?The current offense of the Nets has reached a bottleneck. Unless George has great potential to become a super scorer, otherwise, the team's offense will be those routines. In this case, even if Thomas has many tricks and diversified tactics , It is also inevitable that such a fact!
It's just about attack power!There are still many teams in the league that can match or even surpass the Nets.

Now that the current offense has reached the end of the season, Thomas has to think about how to make the team better. The first aspect that comes to mind is defense!
You must know that the current Nets have a super defensive player like Allen, but the other players on the team are much worse. This is why the opponent's main scorer has been handed over to Allen many times. Count on Allen for a reason!

The Nets now rely on the personal abilities of their players, ironic, isn't it?A team with a defensive system relies more on personal efforts, but that's it, because the Nets need an inside player with strong defense capabilities, and no one in the Nets can do it!
Fortunately, the Nets' offense is very efficient, averaging 20 points per game in nearly 110 games. Such a terrifying newcomer's offensive ability is the embodiment of other Nets players!

The current defense of the Nets does not have a system. It is not Thomas' problem. Thomas is a comprehensive coach. He is not a single offensive coach. This is Thomas' self-explanation. You must know that the four assistant coaches are not so Well done.

However, the Nets are such a talented offensive team. Except for Allen, there is no efficient defensive player. Of course, George has this potential to do it!But that's potential!
Every player on the current Nets team is highly motivated to defend, but defense is an area that requires a lot of experience. Even daily practice will not improve a lot all at once. This is a field that requires physical fitness and experience. stuff!
Therefore, strengthening defense cannot be considered from this aspect, unless the players you change are all defensive, but in that case, you will sacrifice a lot of offense!That's not Thomas' team!
The second aspect is that changing a certain point of the team will change the team's defensive talent!Ibaka is such a player!

Imagine that with the arrival of Ibaka, Love goes to the low post to grab rebounds, get stuck in the position, and prepares to assist the frontcourt. Ibaka is responsible for mobile defense and supplementary defense, and there are single-defense masters like Allen outside!Ho ho!Are the strong teams in the East coming out?

Of course, I’m not saying that the current Nets are not strong, but once the Nets’ offense fails to open up, the Nets may lose the game. For example, the Rockets in 2014 cannot prevent the Blazers’ offense , his offense was restricted as much as possible, it would be strange if he didn't lose!
The current average block data of the Nets is the last in the league. Love, Xiaoheng, Pekovic, these inside players, each have less than half of the blocks per game!The team averaged only 3 per game.

Fortunately, their overall rebound count is very high, as high as the top three in the league. Otherwise, the Nets would have replaced their insiders and their defense would have become a loophole.Of course, the first reason for this is that the insiders of the Nets are mainly white.

No one black, racially gifted, that can't be changed!Then the only way is to trade!

Another way to change the team is to increase the manpower of the team's ball movement, which is to increase more offensive possibilities. This is why Thomas needs Dior's arrival!That is a dead inside player in the league!rare.

Even if it may not help the team's offense, it would be great to help Loew and Yi Jianlian continue to improve!The Nets want such an inside player with a lot of experience, and Diaw is the most suitable one!

And according to his style of play, playing 5 or 6 seasons is too normal!
The second deal was easily reached. Billy contacted the great god Jordan, revealing the idea of ​​wanting Dior, and then hoped to exchange it with Xiaoheng. When the master heard about it, he immediately hung up the phone and clicked on Xiaoheng's data !

With an average of 14 points and 9 rebounds per game, his salary this season is less than 300 million!What about Dior's salary? 900 million!Wow!This is a high-quality stock!Great stock for the Bobcats!This business is a big hit!Immediately call back and tell Billy, yes!
Anyway, it is going to be rebuilt. A high-quality stock may become the backbone of the team. If you change to a player who will definitely leave, the salary will be so much worse!It's worth picking up a second-round pick that doesn't work for the Bobcats!

The deal is done!It's that simple, isn't it? (Actually, I really don’t have any more ideas, so I can only do this! Wrangling is really not my strong point!)
This temporarily solves the Nets' problem, so the best result is to wait for the Thunder's reply!As a coach, this is the first time Thomas has traded his players.
Then mutual understanding is needed.

The next day, Thomas found Humphries at a hotel in Charlotte, home of the Bobcats, and said there was something to talk about!
"Coach, you called me to tell me, have I been traded? The inside of the team is very crowded, I know, I will be traded, my teammates are a group of very good players, in order to trade Me, this is one of the reasons why the coach took good care of me in the 20 games! Now can you tell me where I was traded?" Humphries said calmly, but this is also true, isn't it?
"Xiaoheng, you are one of the players that I haven't cleared since I started with the Nets. We have a good cooperation, right? Now I need to trade you out, which is the Bobcats. This is a team with a possibility. Rebuilt team!
I hope you can play even better there. To be honest, at your level, you will make greater progress there. With your current level, you will make great progress everywhere. The annual salary of tens of millions in the future is not a dream. Yes, my Nets team is really not suitable for you, and I don’t have an annual salary of tens of millions to give you, it’s good for us, I hope we still have friendship! "Thomas is still very good at speaking, but it's too official, isn't it?
But this is the truth! The NBA is a business!

"Coach, thank you, anyway, you are the first coach to trust me and gave me a lot of opportunities to prove myself, maybe I am too similar to Loew's type! But he is better than me, isn't he! Thank you Coach! Our friendship will not end." Humphries also ended his career with the Nets!Became the penultimate player to leave the Nets in the past.

Anyway!Thomas' first in-game trade is done!

On December 12rd, the Nets challenged the Bobcats away!
Xiao Heng will not play in this game against the Bobcats. He needs a physical examination and a series of problems need to be solved, such as the residence of the Bobcats!If Xiao Heng was injured in this game, it would be a loss to everyone!
This is the second conversation between Thomas and the coach. In the first conversation, the coach's arrangements led to Curry's great improvement!What about the second game?
That is a head-to-head contest!There are no superfluous ingredients, the two parties already know enough about each other!But a team with no future and the most prestigious team in the league!Hehe, the victory is actually over from the very beginning!
The current record of the Bobcats is 13 losses and 5 wins, which is the bottom team in the Eastern Conference!What about the Nets? 16 wins and 3 losses!The top three in the league.

This is also one of the important reasons why Joe decided to rebuild, watching the Nets jealous!I believe many teams will be jealous.

This is a magical era. A Thomas is the beginning of a change. Anyone will be jealous of the good luck of the Nets.

"Hey, guys! You also have tasks in this game! Love, mainly you, your task today is to defend Diaw, this is an extremely difficult player, your task is not to defend his scoring, but to defend He has rebounds and assists! If he has 5 assists and rebounds! Hehe, I haven’t given you extra food for a long time, have I?” Thomas said with a smile, what a pity!His words are really chilling.
