Chapter 457 Development
Jerry West would choose a center even though Yi Jianlian can play four-on-five, mainly because he thinks the position most likely to have problems on the Bobcats is center.
For Tyson Chandler, he already has two championships.
He also won DPOY last year.
As a blue-collar center, it can be said that he has everything he should have.
No matter how many championships he wins, it will not improve his historical status.
So for Tyson Chandler, money is the most important thing.
Lin Anwen has plenty of money, and Jerry West believes that as long as he expresses his stance, he will definitely be willing to give Tyson Chandler a big contract.
But here’s the problem.
First of all, as a blue-collar center, Tyson Chandler is not young anymore.
He is already 32 years old this year and has no shooting ability. As his physical fitness declines, it will definitely affect his defense and catching rebounds.
He is now the highest-paid player on the Bobcats.
If I give him another big contract later, what will happen to the other people?
Let’s not talk about Curry, who has already renewed his contract.
Klay and the other two are so young but have already shown great potential. Will they be willing to get less money than Chandler?
By that time, the Bobcats' salary cap space will definitely explode.
Maybe we won’t be able to keep a certain player.
So the best case scenario that Jerry West thinks of is that if they win the championship again next year, Chandler's contract will just expire, and by then there will definitely be many teams scrambling for Chandler.
As long as he doesn't get injured, his value won't be affected at all in his offense because he can only dunk. His strongest point is his defense.
It may not be a bad thing to let Chandler, who is already quite old, leave at that time.
Yi Jianlian has been with the Bobcats for three years. Jerry West thinks it is not a bad idea to promote Yi Jianlian to the starting lineup and let him play the center position.
Yi Jianlian made a three-pointer.
When Anthony Davis practices three-point shooting more, the Bobcats will have five starters capable of three-point shooting.
The starting lineup of these five people is fully loaded both offensively and defensively.
Jerry West thinks that as long as the Bobcats don't suffer any serious injuries in the future, they may be able to create a dynasty before Curry renews his contract again.
Jerry West is thinking long term.
Apart from him and Mr. Lin Anwen, no one else, including Lin Xiangyu, knew what he was thinking.
Lin Xiangyu thought that Jerry West just wanted to draw a prize, after all, it was just a second-round pick.
It is really difficult to find treasure in the second round.
This feeling became even stronger when Lin Xiangyu saw the Serbian center named Jokic selected by Jerry West.
Although Jokic was selected, he never thought about coming to the NBA directly.
He felt that he could still hone his skills a little more.
The Bobcats are this year's championship team, and the owner said they will not change the lineup next year.
If I go there, I might not even be able to get a chance to play as a substitute.
But Jerry West strongly urged Jokic to come directly to the NBA.
The league that Jokic is in is not even as good as the NBA's Development League.
Even if it's just a training match within the team, having a sparring partner now would be more useful than in the league he's in now.
Jerry West is still very famous.
At the invitation of Jerry West, Jokic obediently came to the NBA.
To be honest, Jerry West was a little disappointed after seeing Jokic in person.
This figure is so scary.
However, after finding some players to train with Jokic and Kyle Anderson, Jerry West keenly discovered Jokic's extraordinary qualities.
When Jerry West selected Jokic, it was only because the scouting report said that he had an outstanding basketball IQ.
But I didn't expect his basketball IQ to be so high. Although there were some mistakes in passing, in Jerry West's opinion, those passes were relatively good.
Kyle Anderson was chosen because Jerry West thought he had a high basketball IQ, but now it seems that Jokic's basketball IQ is not bad either.
Because of this training, Jerry West suddenly became interested in Jokic.
It is difficult for players with high basketball IQ to perform particularly poorly in the NBA as long as they are a little more self-disciplined.
Jerry West is planning to give Jokic some special training during this offseason.
Jokic is really too fat now and really needs to lose weight.
During his time in Charlotte, Lin Xiangyu would come to the stadium to watch Jokic train whenever he had nothing to do.
Jokic is not the only one training here. Some substitute players have also chosen to continue training themselves during this offseason.
If Kyle Anderson had not accompanied his mother back to China to meet his relatives with the help of Mr. Lin Anwen, he would also appear here.
The starting members were extremely tired from playing in the playoffs, so they all took some time off.
Yi Jianlian returned to China to represent the national team in the competition.
After coming to the Bobcats, Yi Jianlian began to transform into a 3D player at the suggestion of Jerry West.
But even as a 3D player, after returning to the national team, Yi Jianlian can still play very well in international competitions.
After Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi retired, Yi Jianlian became the leader of the national team.
Now he is actually fully capable of playing as a starting power forward in other NBA teams.
After his contract expired last summer, Yi Jianlian also received offers from some other teams.
But in the end he chose to stay.
Yi Jianlian feels quite comfortable with the Bobcats. Although he is only a sixth man, he can play at least twenty minutes in every game, and Yi Jianlian is already very satisfied.
Moreover, he also wants to win the championship with everyone.
After all, the Bobcats did start rebuilding the year Yi Jianlian came.
We have come this far and have a good relationship with each other.
But after winning the championship, Yi Jianlian had some other thoughts in his mind.
In the playoffs, he averaged 26.5 points and 14.8 rebounds in 7.2 minutes per game, and made 1.7 three-pointers per game.
Remember, this is the playoffs.
If they can produce this kind of data in more than 20 minutes in the playoffs, what about the regular season?
Yi Jianlian has also made his mark with the Bobcats.
Although he can't be compared with Yao Ming.
But at least now he is a qualified starter.
Yi Jianlian's identity as a Chinese player has made many people wait to sign him after his contract expires next year.
The Chinese market will still have some added value.
Lin Xiangyu stayed in Charlotte with Han Hyo Joo and Park Cho-rong for half a month before leaving and returning to San Francisco.
After all, San Francisco is Mr. Lin Anwen's base camp. Before Han Hyo Joo came to the United States, Mr. Lin Anwen specially renovated a villa for Han Hyo Joo in San Francisco.
The purpose is to provide Han Hyo Joo with a good environment for pregnancy.
Han Hyo Joo and her friends are young people, so Mr. Lin Anwen naturally would not live with them.
In addition to dealing with company matters every day, Lin Xiangyu spends his days here with Han Hyo Joo.
On the peninsula.
Krystal Jung and her group released their third full-length album "Red Light" at the end of July, announcing FX's official return.
The album is named after the title song "Red Light", and the producers such as ddy Riley, Thomas Troelsen, Kenzie, hitchhiker and others are responsible for the lyrics and music. Amber participated in the composition of "Summer Lover", Krystal participated in the lyrics of the title song "Red Light", and Lim Sang-woo also participated in the lyrics of the song "Paper Heart".
In fact, since 2012, in order to show his support for his sisters, Lim Sang-woo would write the lyrics of a song for them every time they made a comeback.
"Beautiful Stranger" in 2012, "Airplane" in 2013, and "Paper Heart" this year.
Regardless of whether these three songs are popular or not, the lyrics are indeed well written.
The title song for this comeback was decided by Krystal Jung.
This title song was bound to be controversial after its release.
Krystal Jung also told the members about this matter, and Victoria Song and the others had no objections.
Although the events at the beginning of the year have calmed down a lot now, anyone with a discerning eye can see that there are some problems.
FX is not a group that uses songs to voice the Sewol.
Krystal Jung believes they won’t be the last.
Anyway, NEW company has plenty of resources, and they don’t have to worry about the reflection of the Sewol ferry affecting the subsequent development of the group.
After FX returned to a new company, NEW company also put in a lot of effort to promote them.
Both the production of the song and the shooting of the MV were done with great care.
FX's comeback this time is very strong, which makes it difficult for Bae Joo-hyun and the others.
Bae Joo-hyun and Kang Seul-gi officially debuted as members of the group Red Velvet on August 1st, releasing their first single "Happiness".
Photos of several people were released at the end of July.
Although Lim Sang-woo had threatened SM Entertainment with Bae Joo-hyun and Kang Seul-gi before, SM Entertainment also knew that the debut of the two would definitely bring more benefits than disadvantages to the group Red Velvet.
Bae Joo-hyun and Lim Sang-woo have the same relationship, so at least Red Velvet will have a good life after their debut.
Furthermore, it is true that SM Entertainment cannot find any trainees to replace Bae Joo-hyun and Kang Seul-gi in their debut.
They both have such unique styles.
Red Velvet didn't have an easy time after their debut.
A lot really happened to SM Entertainment in 2014.
Both the boy band and the girl band had problems.
Red Velvet debuted during this turbulent period, and many fans of senior groups took their anger out on them. (True story)
However, when he was rushing to make announcements, Red Velvet's treatment was still quite good.
I haven't encountered the kind of difficulties that my predecessors talked about.
Jiang Shiqi was silly all day long and never thought about why.
But Bae Joo-hyun knew very well that some seniors were polite when they saw them, purely to give face to Lin Xiangyu.
They benefited from Lin Xiangyu's help.
I also watched Red Velvet's debut performance by Lim Sang-woo.
To be honest, the other three were fine.
Bae Joo-hyun's words were indeed a little hard for Lim Sang-woo, Han Hyo-joo and Park Cho-rong to accept.
The main reason is that Bae Joo-hyun is indeed not young anymore, and when you meet her in private, she seems to be quite mature.
As soon as you look at the debut stage, it is a stage with cute style.
It was really hard for the three of them to accept it.
Even Park Cho-rong, who is also an idol, felt a little embarrassed.
Park Cho-rong thought that Apink’s dance was cute enough.
I didn’t expect that Bae Joo-hyun’s debut song stage was even cuter than theirs.
After watching Bae Joo-hyun's debut stage, Lim Sang-woo sent Bae Joo-hyun several messages in a row to mock her.
Such a big person dancing like that to act cute.
It might feel okay now.
It will be embarrassing for Bae Joo-hyun to dance this kind of debut song again when she gets older in two years.
Bae Joo-hyun was also helpless in the face of Lin Xiangyu's teasing.
It is indeed a little bit awkward for her to dance this dance at her age.
But the ages of the other members are just right.
In Red Velvet, besides Bae Joo-hyun, the oldest are Kang Seul-gi and Son Seung-wan, both born in 94.
The remaining Park Soo-young was born in 96.
Their ages are just right, and it’s not awkward at all for them to act this out.
There was really nothing Bae Joo-hyun could do as she was surrounded by a group of young people.
But overall, this debut song is pretty good.
Krystal Jung is busy making a comeback.
Jessica Jung also founded her fashion brand “BLANC & ECLARE” after renewing her contract.
Although now only sunglasses are sold.
But Jessica Jung is running her fashion brand with intentions.
After all, Jessica Jung has really put a lot of thought into this fashion brand.
Because of Jessica Jung’s previous video, as soon as the “BLANC & ECLARE” sunglasses went on sale, those models were almost sold out.
Jessica Jung was quite happy at first.
After all, the first batch of goods was sold out very quickly.
But after careful investigation, Jessica Jung discovered that almost none of the fans had been able to grab anything.
Most of them were bought by colleagues in the industry.
Even Lim Sang-woo, who was far away in America, spent money to support Jessica Jung's career.
This made Jessica Jung very unhappy.
Colleagues would buy this either for their own sake or for Lin Xiangyu's sake.
This kind of thing will not receive any feedback at all.
After comforting the fans, Jessica Jung could only urge the factory to speed up and get the second batch of goods out as soon as possible.
Jessica Jung's side business is booming.
The other half, Yoona, also rejoined the group after finishing the group's activities.
She filmed a movie that Lin Xiangyu had kept for her since last year.
The script of the movie is called "Miss Granny", which is a comedy.
The movie tells a fantasy story about a 70-year-old grandmother who suddenly turns into a young woman in her 20s.
The director is also an old acquaintance of Lin Xiangyu - Huang Donghe, the director of "The Crucible".
Director Hwang Dong Hyuk also remained silent for several years after "The Crucible".
He made a comeback this year with the comedy film "Girlfriend". The change in genre from realistic themes to comedy was also an adjustment for him.
This movie is not a big-budget movie.
But Lim Sang-woo felt that if Lim Yoona could perform well, she would definitely receive a lot of praise.
In the movie, Yoona will play a character who looks to be in her twenties but is actually in her seventies.
This is really a big challenge for Yoona.
Lim Yoona has been thinking about this script since Lim Sang-woo gave it to her at the end of last year.
During the filming, Yoona also humbly asked for advice from senior member of the crew, Ra Mi-jie.
Lin Xiangyu returned to the peninsula at the end of August due to company matters and also made a cameo appearance in this movie.
