With the Wizards defeating the Nets 21 points in the opening game, this undoubtedly shocked all fans.

Because if you say a team that strengthens the most fiercely this summer, then this team must be the Nets.

In fact, the Nets' lineup in the new season is indeed so terrifying. Even just looking at the lineup makes people feel as if the NBA is going to have a finale.

As a result, as the new season started, the Nets lost 21 points to the Wizards in the opening match, which was something that no one expected.

Some people thought that the Nets might lose in the opening game due to running-in reasons, but they absolutely did not expect that the ending would be done in this way.

This opening game gives fans the feeling that the Wizards are invincible. Even if the Nets have strengthened this, they have already come up with such a lineup in the new season.

But facing this Wizards who won two consecutive championships, they were still beaten to no avail. This feeling really makes people feel desperate.

In addition, the Nets' big score loss in the opening match also caused more doubts from the Nets' new head coach Kidd.

Originally, from the moment when the Nets officially announced that Kidd would serve as the team's head coach in the new season, many fans had objections.

Although Kidd's career is excellent and his football quotient can also reach the top level in history, as a newcomer who has just entered the coaching circle, the Nets' approach is too risky.

However, since the Nets management has made a decision, the fans' objections are naturally meaningless, so Brooklyn fans temporarily suppressed this dissatisfaction and planned to see what kind of performance Kidd can lead the team in the new season.

The result was as everyone saw, with a 21-point defeat to the Wizards in the opening game, which also made more and more people begin to resist Kidd.

This also made Kidd the first coach in NBA history to be called out by fans after just after a game.

I have to say that this matter is somewhat embarrassing.

But that's the reality. As a business league, the competitiveness of this circle is very cruel.

Not everyone can be like Yang Fan, who can lead the team to turn over and become the lucky one in people's eyes just as soon as they enter the coaching industry.

In fact, most people are like Kidd. They have been questioned when they first entered the ranks of coaches. In this case, Kidd can only prove himself through time and prove that he is indeed capable of surviving in the NBA.

Otherwise, even if the Nets management is willing to give Kidd time, it will be difficult for Kidd to gain a foothold in the coaching industry.

…………………………………

After defeating the Nets, the Wizards continued to maintain a high competitive level in the next few games.

After all, the Wizards' lineup has been running in for two seasons, and there has been no major change in the offseason, so the Wizards in the new season basically do not need to be running in, and they are the first to complete their efforts at the beginning of the season.

As of October 8, the Wizards have improved their record to 7 wins and 0 losses, and have remained unbeaten since the start of the game, and are firmly on the throne of the top in the league and are unshakable.

In the new season, the Spurs are still the strongest team in the West, and from the beginning of the season it has shown a strong aura that can break out of the West.

However, Popovich, who currently leads the team in the West, is not that happy. To be precise, Popovich has been frowning, as if the team won the first place is not a good thing.

In fact, this is true. Although the Spurs are currently ranked first in the West, they are regarded as the team that has the most hope of rushing out of the West this season after the start of the game.

But when Popovich saw the Wizards' momentum in the new season, he really wanted to vomit blood, because the Spurs had fallen under the Wizards for two consecutive years and were hung up in the finals by the Wizards for two consecutive years.

This has led to Povich's psychological shadow on the Wizards. I'm afraid that if the Wizards don't hurt two in the new season, the Spurs will likely be eliminated even if they enter the finals.

…………………………………

"Ernie, there is something that needs to be troubled by you. This matter is not necessary for the team to complete, but if it can be successful, the team's chances of winning the championship in the new season will be greatly improved."

"So don't be too stressed about this matter. Just try your best to make the rest, and the rest will be left to fate." In the office, Yang Fan sat on the sofa very naturally, then picked up a cigarette and put it in his mouth. Those who didn't know might think he was the general manager of the team.

In fact, although Grenfeld is the general manager of the Wizards, he should belong to Yang Fan's immediate boss according to his level.

But under normal circumstances, Grenfeld is more like a tool man, on an equal footing with Yang Fan in terms of status, but in actual effect, he is basically in the air.

After all, whether it is a draft or a free market during the offseason, all these things were handled by Yang Fan.

So when he heard Yang Fan say that something needed to trouble him, Grenfeld's eyes flashed directly.

Because only at this time can Grenfeld find the meaning of his existence, otherwise Grenfeld would be afraid that one day his boss Leonses would drive him.

In addition, Grenfeld knew very well Yang Fan’s position in the mind of his boss Leon Sis.

This also led to Grenfeld doing everything Yang Fan told him seriously, even if he was Yang Fan's nominal boss.

"Not bother, no trouble at all. I am very excited about the fact that you can look for me, because if you don't look for me, I will grow grass on my body."

"I just don't know who can make you miss it. I remember you said before that the team's lineup in the new season is already perfect."

"And you also said that you don't want to change in the new season, but you just want to use this current lineup to attack the championship." Taking out the notebook that you haven't used for a long time from the drawer, Grenfeld looked at Yang Fan with a serious look on his face.

"Don't be nervous, Ernie, this time I'm not asking you to negotiate a deal with other teams, but I just want you to contact someone, convince him to complete a buyout with the team and join us as a free agent."

"The team's chemistry is very good at present, and I don't want to trade with other teams, but there are very serious injuries at this point, so it's hard for him to use it with confidence."

"If I can, I would rather cut him early in the season and sign a player that will really help the team."

"This will make it easier for Greg to find his next home. If it is delayed until the late stage of the season, Greg may have to be unemployed at home." After a pause, Yang Fan continued, "What's more, the team currently lacks an organizational point, so no one is more suitable for the Wizards than him."

"What are you talking about?"

"Steve, Steve Nash."

The reason why Yang Fan put his ideas on Nash is that the Lakers will completely fall to the bottom this season.

Kobe has been officially reimbursed due to a knee injury and a previous Achilles tendon rupture. In this case, the Lakers have completely lost the strength to compete for playoff tickets.

So there is only one way to put it in front of the Lakers, that is, to train new players and strive to develop a new Los Angeles storefront before Kobe retires.

This has led to the 39-year-old Nash being put aside by the Lakers. Nash, who can still play as a starting player in the first five games of the season, has been pressed on the bench by head coach D'Antoni.

In the normal historical trajectory, Nash only played 15 games for the Lakers this season, and then after the end of the season, Nash officially announced his retirement, ending his 18-year career.

It is precisely because of this that Yang Fan, who knows this well, plans to launch an offensive in advance, let general manager Glenfield contact Nash privately, strive to get Nash to discuss a buyout with the Lakers, and then join the Wizards as a free agent.

And in this buyout, the Wizards really want to convince Steve Nash, not the Lakers themselves.

After all, Nash has been excluded from the rotation this season, but Nash's salary this season is still as high as $9.3 million.

So once Nash takes the initiative to propose a buyout with the Lakers management, the Lakers will definitely rush to buy out the contract with Nash.

This also leads to the decision-making power of whether to buy or not is in Nash's hands.

According to Yang Fan's prediction, if the Wizards take the initiative to contact Nash, Nash has a chance of buying out more than 75%.

Because Nash chose to leave the Suns in one or two years, he wanted to launch an impact on the championship later in his career.

So far, Steve Nash's career is perfect, and it can even be called a counterattack of a small person.

So Nash, who has won too many honors, currently lacks nothing, but his career honors are missing a championship ring.

In this case, the Wizards are willing to provide him with an opportunity, so Nash has no reason to refuse.

If Nash really refuses, the reason can only be to want to spend more time with his family.

However, in Yang Fan's opinion, Nash should be able to tell which is more important. After all, there will be a lot of time to spend with his family in the future, but he will not wait for Nash to win the championship.

Last season, Nash averaged 13 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists per game. This season, since Nash played fewer games, it did not have much reference value in terms of data.

However, Nash can still contribute 8 points and 6 assists per game.

In addition, Nash's career three-point shooting percentage has remained above 40% for many years, which made Yang Fan think about Nash to see if he could get this "Son of Wind" who has entered his twilight years.

Even though Nash's defensive ability is very poor, this matter is not a problem with Yang Fan at all.

There are many people with good defensive ability in the Wizards. As long as Yang Fan is willing, he can make up for the shortcomings of Nash's lack of defensive ability through assisted defense and rotation.

The most important thing is that Yang Fan has been worried since the beginning of the season, worried that the team has no organizational player in the second team who can revitalize the offense.

So while Nash's style of playing can perfectly make up for the Wizards' last flaw, Yang Fan really couldn't find a reason not to try it.

"Steve?"

"Okay, I will find a way to contact Steve in the past two days. I don't know his current updates. After all, I haven't followed the Lakers for a long time." Grenfeld lowered his head and didn't know what was recorded in his laptop, and then began to take out his phone to flip through the address book.

"Steve's dynamics are not important. You just need to do it privately. Don't be discovered by the Lakers management. After all, this kind of thing is not glorious."

"If someone is stabbed to the league, it will be difficult for us and Steve to do it." Yang Fan sat on the sofa and stretched his body with a comfortable waist.

Since the league does not allow other team management to contact players who have signed with the team in private, it is called illegal recruitment.

So Grenfeld must do this in private. Even if the Lakers want to buy out the contract with Nash, some things are completely different from those in private.

Yang Fan still needs to do these facial work, otherwise the final blow will be the Alliance's face.

"Don't worry, I know this kind of thing in my mind. I will choose a suitable time to contact Steve." Grenfeld nodded with a relaxed look on his face.

…………………………………

Although Yang Fan asked Grenfeld to contact Nash, even if he really wanted to discuss a buyout, this kind of thing would not end in one or two days.

So after explaining the matter, Yang Fan turned around and devoted himself to work. After all, Yang Fan did not forget his two goals this season.

One is to attack the 75 wins, and the other is to attack the dynasty of three consecutive championships!

It can be said that no matter which Wizards complete these two things this season, they will be completely famous in history. However, Yang Fan has great ambitions. He hopes to achieve all his ambitions at the stage where he is most dominant.

In the next few games, the Wizards continued to do their best. Except for the game against the Clippers, the Wizards defeated their opponents at least 15 points in other games.

Only in that game with the Clippers did the Wizards narrowly defeat the Clippers with the final score of Paul George in the last 3.4 seconds, narrowly and narrowly secured their winning streak and continued to lead the league with a record of zero losses.

In this game with the Clippers, Crawford was like Jordan possessed. Crawford, who came on as a substitute, scored 41 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists in the game.

With Paul's 16 points, 3 rebounds and 16 assists, and Griffin's 25 points, 11 rebounds and 2 blocks, the three teams almost overturned the defending champion Wizards.

If it weren't for Paul George joining forces with John Wall, the two of them withstand the pressure in the fourth quarter, the Wizards would have really fallen at the feet of "Empty City".

As of November 17, the Wizards had won 12 consecutive games at the start of the game, and there were only four games left to break the 15 consecutive games that the Rockets had won in the 15 consecutive games in the 93-94 season.

According to the Wizards' next schedule, the only one that can pose a threat to the Wizards is the Raptors, currently ranked third in the East.

In other words, as long as the Wizards can perform stably in the next three games and then win the game against the Raptors, the Wizards' winning streak will reach 16 games.

And 16 games will officially break the record of 15 consecutive wins set by the Rockets in the 1993-94 season.

There are three records to challenge now before the Wizards.

These three events are 75 wins and 7 losses set by the Thunder, 15 consecutive wins at the start of the game set by the Rockets, and the Lakers finally scored 33 consecutive wins in the 71-72 season.
