Chapter 436: Not Quite Pleasant Conversation
When I first arrived at the training gym in Brooklyn, I thought I was in the wrong place. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 There are a lot of athletes in the info! I was notified last week. This season, the Nets have continued to work hard to sign Griffin!
$13.77 million guaranteed contract for one year! The salary was the highest in the Nets that year! It can be seen how much the management attaches importance to him! However, in Chen's opinion, such a salary is a bit too high! It is said that there are still some difficulties in communicating with him.
But the Nets have to fight for this year's record! Anthony went to the Rockets and George went to the Thunder. Now only Levy Fen is still in contention. Undoubtedly, in the end, it was the Nets who offered the highest price. And just play for a year.
As soon as Chen arrived, Griffin saw him. But didn't come over to say hello but continued to practice there. His strength is amazing! The physical condition is also very good. Chen likes this player very much. When Atkinson was still in the team, I felt that signing him for two years and $19 million+ dollars would make the team take a new leap in quality!
Although I also heard in the news that he only cares about the high salary offered by the Nets, I think it is Brooklyn's recognition of his true level. Without coach Atkinson's Nets, he will try to make the Nets better and go further.
These words made Chen Yinan feel a little awkward. Did he take the Nets further? So what am I?
"You're a follower~" Lili interjected on the side.
"What do you mean? Am I just, assisting them? ”
"Clever~" Chen felt that his head was going to turn red at this time. Although he was angry, he still didn't say much about it.
Thinking back to the conversation between himself and Lili, I felt that I still had to go over and say hello to him.
"Hello, I'm Chen Yinan, the current head coach of this team. We're going to work together in the future. You don't have to play too long in pre-season. I ......"
"Well, hello. I don't play preseason though. I'm not going to play. Griffin said to Chen briefly and expressionlessly, and then went back to practice. Leave Chen there......
"This kid has a good temper! This salary has inflated him? Chen thought as he casually found a direction and walked up to ease the embarrassment......
"It seems that he is not cheap with his attitude when he just met, right?" Jamilin said when he saw Chan coming over. For Chen, maybe he didn't pay much attention. Many players have seen the scene just now.
The beast forward not only traded for Nicholson, but the Nets also added him more than $7 million. In the eyes of the outside world, the Nets have entered a transition period again. After Atkinson left the team, it caused an uproar on the Internet!
The main argument is that Atkinson should not be fired. Naturally, there are many people who scold the Nets management......
"No, coming to us directly pays the highest salary. It is estimated that they came here to gild. A year later, the other teams were thinking about it. He should be offered a price that he is satisfied with and then switch jobs. Chen looked at the sweaty Griffin and said.
"I didn't expect to meet in Houston so soon," Lin said.
"yes, he's not there yet. It's personal," Chen said with a sigh. Such a player also means that it is difficult to manage and arrange tactics in the future. The first playoff game of the year will kick off in five days. The Nets have been training for three weeks now!
It can be said that the intensity is still very strong! Count the fact that there are almost 20 players in the team now! Quite a few are rookies this year. There are also quite a few second-year students.
How to arrange such a lineup is also a question. The management is that a certain amount of playing time should be given in the preseason and in the regular season to see how they are doing.
After returning to his residence, Chen lay alone in bed and thought about how to lead such a Nets team.
It has to be said that Griffin's arrival has brought a lot of benefits to Brooklyn at the No. 4 position. As always, the online discourse is still divided into two main parts. One is that the Nets will make a lot of progress this season. On the other hand, the Nets still have problems, and it is estimated that they will not be able to make the playoffs.
Griffin is old. There are not a few such voices. However, in Chen's opinion, Griffin will have no problem playing for at least another five years. That's how the salary is problematic. Delon won't talk about it, just look at Pierce and Carter's salary.
The task left for Chen now is to use as many newcomers as possible while ensuring the team's winning percentage. Let them be able to play as well and see how well they play.
Jeremy Lin is now averaging 9.4 points, 6.1 rebounds and 11.7 assists per game! It's fast in the game! Good passing awareness. He and Griffin were pretty good at talking.
Russell, 7.2 points, 2.2 rebounds and 5.8 assists. Excellent blue-collar defender. The team still let him lead the team alone. The captain of the second formation. Dinwiddie was lined up behind him.
Compare this player to the NBA as a tanhua. The personal ability is also good. The team still needs his organization!
Mozgov, although he made a lot of mistakes, has improved a lot in terms of his performance last season! The average is now 11.1 points, 8.9 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game! A very hard-working blue-collar center in the team! He's got a good sense of personal awareness. Especially knowing what to do when you receive the ball, it's a big deal!
Similar to what the media commented, he worked the field and in training! The addition of Griffin may make the team very fluid as a whole! This is probably what the Nets management wants to see.
The team still needs to be more aware on the offensive side and work on the defensive end. I think of the time when the Warcraft team vacated the coach in the past, although their coach really couldn't win the game at that time.
"Am I going to be in such a situation?" Chen thought in his head. It should have been a joy to be the manager of the team.
But after being more excited, happy and believing in the team in terms of salary, it's time to manage such a team. The stern and well-known Atkinson listened to Chen when he was on the team, so will Brooklyn still listen to Chen Yinan after he leaves?
Chen didn't go to the training gym after that meeting. He thinks about things in his room. Apparently Griffin didn't have a good impression of himself. Brooklyn could quickly split into smaller groups, with Jeremy Lin and Griffin in one group, Mozgov, Teague and Jonathan in one group, and the rest of the second team as well as young newcomers.
Such a situation is terrible. Unlike previous seasons, the current team is not easy to manage! It's not all new members, but now there are players of all levels! It's easy for them to find players who are about the same as themselves and put them together. In this case, a bad chemical reaction will gradually arise.
