Chapter 102: Joining the Nets
Among the many teams, Horn really hesitated for a while, but despite the passage of time, Horn still chose the New Jersey Nets.
The Nets' lineup is really not good, Williams' current state is far from being comparable to Paul, the Nets' interior is mainly cultivated by Lopez, and the configuration of the outside line is also very poor, and there are few people in the whole team who can use it.
The Nets are not in good shape, and it is difficult for Horn to reach the Eastern Conference Finals, but the Nets are not worried about not playing time because they are very short of people, which is what Horn values, as long as he can play more, Horn believes that he can lead the team, as for the Nets' current focus on cultivating Lopez, Horn is not afraid to compete with him, who plays well, I believe that fans have eyes.
Horn finally decided to join the Nets, and the Russian boss of the Nets did not treat Horn badly, and the contract given to Horn was 2 years and 27.5 million.
In addition to the short term of this contract, it is a very lucrative contract, which can get 13 million per year.
13 million is basically the price of the league's excellent interior line, Aldridge of the Trail Blazers, David Lee of the Warriors, Bogut of the Bucks, and Mark Gasol of the Grizzlies are all players at this price point.
Horne has now only played a season of excellent play with the Hornets to get this kind of contract, and Horne is taking advantage.
Generally speaking, with only one season of good performances, few teams dare to cram you with a big contract.
Because one season is dazzling, there are too many players who are silent next, and only the Russian big money in New Jersey has this kind of courage.
On the one hand, Horn is very capable, and on the other hand, the Russian tycoon also likes Horn's ability to cause trouble.
His Nets are too low-key at the moment, it's not the team he wants, and Horn's ability to cause trouble will also play a big role in promoting the team.
After signing with the Nets, Horn is still practicing shooting, but the effect does not make Horn very satisfied, although Horn practices very hard, but his shooting effect is not stable, sometimes very accurate, sometimes very inaccurate.
After leaving his shooting skills, Horn's shooting ability began to be in an extremely unstable state.
Whether the shooting hits or not, it's a fraction of a second, and a little bit of shooting skill improvement will make a lot of ambiguous balls into the frame, and now that there is no shooting skill, there are many of these ambiguous times that are not good for Horn.
Horn practiced shooting all summer, but the effect was not so obvious, and it only gave Horn the ability to shoot, but not the consistent shooting ability.
Seeing that summer is coming to an end and Yunzhu is back in New Orleans, Horn decides to move to New York.
Yunzhu naturally wants to go with Horn, this girl is now completely glued to Horn, Yuntang works in New Orleans' company, so she can't go to New York, she can only stay in New Orleans to work by herself.
Horn and Yunzhu packed up their things and went straight to New York. In the metropolis of New York, it was still easy for two people to find a house, and soon found a house in New Jersey and bought a Ford pickup truck for transportation.
Horn joined the New Jersey Nets, and the local media of the Nets naturally reported on it, and they also produced highlights from Horn's last season.
Horn is almost omnipotent in the highlights, and Horn is also omnipotent in the New Jersey media.
The New Jersey Sports Illustrated wrote on the front page: "Horne won the league's Most Improved Award last season, he helped the Hornets reach the playoffs and beat the Thunder at the end of last season. Now that we should have Horn, we will definitely go further and play better! Horn is a great help for us! ”
Horn came to New Jersey, and the New Jersey fans were also very happy, after all, Horn did play well last season.
On the Internet, many fans began to look forward to the future of New Jersey.
"Horn is in New Jersey and our defense is definitely going to go up a notch. We're not a colander anymore! ”
"Horn's shooting ability has also helped us a lot offensively. When he arrives in our team, our offense and defense will be improved to a certain extent! ”
"Actually, what I hope most is that Horn can play his playmaking ability and organize the team, and now Williams is less and less like a point guard!"
"Horn's running ability is actually what we need!"
There are a lot of fans who are commenting on the benefits that Horn will bring to the team, and there are also many fans who think that Horn is not a good fit for the Nets.
"Isn't there some overlap between Horn and Lopez's positions? Both of them are all-round insiders, and the two of them seem to be incompatible! ”
"Horn's ability is good, but there are some personality problems, he won't fight with the players in New Jersey!"
"Is Horn really for us! He's basically still a role player, can he change the situation we have now? Our current situation is very problematic on both ends of the pitch! ”
Horn joined New Jersey, fans are hotly discussing on the Internet, and the players in New Jersey also have their own ideas.
At present, New Jersey is short of major generals, and the players who can be used on the outside are Williams, Sean Stevenson, Gannis, and Marshon Brooks. Except for Williams, these people have no independent offensive ability, so New Jersey's outside scoring ability is very poor.
Horn has the ability to respond and the ability to attack independently, and the Nets' outside line naturally likes him.
Humphries, who has a muscle type on the inside, can't say anything about Horn, and the only one with the Nets who has an opinion about Horn is Lopez.
When Lopez came to the Nets, the Nets were in decline, and his performance on the team at that time was the only one that stood out. So many people gave him a lot of praise at that time, and he also gave him the nickname Duncan Jr.
Lopez is like the backbone of the Nets, but he's just a slightly better player when the Nets aren't around.
Lopez didn't help the team get more wins when he was at his weakest, and he didn't take the team to the next level when he was a little better.
This player is inconsistent in many ways, and the only thing that is consistent is the interior height he can provide. He is a typical and well-rounded, all-out technical interior player, and his playing characteristics and rhythm are completely out of step with Horn's, and although both men are technical players, they are almost opposite in all aspects.
So when Horn entered the Nets, Lopez was very unhappy and worried about his status on the team. Even if his status remains the same, he is worried that the team's playing style and statistics will be affected because of Horn.
Horn and Lopez haven't played together yet, and Lopez doesn't think Horn is happy.
