Build a Dream Dynasty

Although Van Gundy complained like a complaining woman, the mainstream media praised Stevens' on-the-spot command in this game, especially the foul tactics in the second half of the second quarter, which can be called a stroke of genius.

First, although Howard got a career-record 26 free throw opportunities in this game, 12 of them were actually obtained in the offense. The real free throws formed by the Nets deliberately hacking Huo "only" had 14 free throws. Second-rate. It's a little too much, but it's still within the tolerance of the game. Secondly, the Nets' hacking is really gentle. They are all hugging or spanking, without any major hurtful actions. Most importantly, this tactic It played a real strategic role, that is, it did not hurt people. On the basis of not violating the rules, Howard's emotions were disturbed and he made mistakes. It is completely tactically used properly, and there is no conspiracy.

Although Howard himself also suffered a big loss in this game, perhaps he was far less dissatisfied with the Nets than he was with the Magic. He even liked the expert's comments on Stevens' tactics on social media. Praise, showing a convincing attitude. This kind of behavior also caused strong dissatisfaction among Magic fans. Now is the time for you to admit defeat.

In association with the rumors of Howard's interest in the Nets in the summer and the rumors of the Mavericks' target 3D (Nowitzki, Howard, Deron), the rumors about Howard's departure from the Magic have further fermented.

Last season, Anthony successfully forced the Nuggets to trade him to his favorite Knicks to show Howard. Howard also had a clear direction in his mind, which team he wanted to go to.

As for the attitude of the Nets, it is impossible for George and Leonard to come out, and the other bargaining chips are also looked down upon by the Magic, so it is impossible to start negotiations at all. The team is in the stage of three consecutive victories, Jiang Mingliang and Stevens have always been indifferent to trading big names, and the team has no interest in these miscellaneous news rumors.

After just one day of rest, the Nets embarked on their first trip to the West this season. They went straight from the East to the Northwest, and went to the plateau to challenge the Denver Nuggets and Utah Jazz. Due to the lockout, each team needs to complete 66 games in 110 days, and the number of games against opponents in other divisions has not decreased. In addition to the intensity of the game, the frequency of flying around has also increased. , For each team, it is a huge test of physical fitness.

Like the Nets, the Nuggets this season have always been a team with amazing depth. The team got enough rebuilding chips in Anthony's trade. Therefore, although JR Smith and Kenyon Martin became free agents and went to the CBA to make money, Wilson Chandler was temporarily unable to come back to help because of the CBA policy, but the team In the free agent market, the inside pillar Nene was renewed, the Spanish trapeze Rudy Fernandez was traded, and the free agent Corey Brewer was signed. More than anything.

The collision between the two teams that benefited from the shrinking season was evenly matched at the beginning. On the Nets side, Bledsoe's tough defense successfully locked the Nuggets' main point guard Ty Lawson, forming an obvious suppression. But Leonard was caught off guard by Gallinari, who has made rapid progress this season. The Italian cannonballs Kawhi consecutively, making this rookie known for his defense a little embarrassed. Fortunately, in the inside duel, the Nets have a slight advantage. The Nuggets' starting center Koufos is basically Lopez's favorite type of opponent.

However, the gap between the two sides was reflected after Andre Miller's debut. The veteran who joined this season replaced the young Ty Lawson on the stage, and the Nuggets' offensive rhythm accelerated instead. Whether it is basketball or football, there is one thing in common, that is, passing the ball is always faster than dribbling. The gap between Miller and Ty Lawson is reflected here. After getting the ball in the backcourt, he can always send a precise pass, speeding up the pace of the game and tearing apart the Nets' defense. The shooting ability is really weak, but the unique post-up singles made the two young Bledsoe and Jeremy Lin at a loss and suffered a lot.

In the Nets, Livingston, who was supposed to play this role, has not played for the team this year. His recovery is not bad so far. He has already started a 1-on-1 confrontation with the trainer in the training ground. If there is no accident, he will be able to return to the game within half a month.

Anderson, who had performed well in the previous few games, had a tepid performance in the first quarter. Against Nuggets rookie power forward Faried, Anderson made one of three three-pointers and was tied by Faried. He blocked a block solidly and completed a fast break dunk.

At the end of the first quarter, the Nuggets led the Nets by 6 points 28:22.

In the second quarter, the Nets once again relied on the inside combination of West and Lopez to open up the situation. Both players have comprehensive offensive methods and can complete offensive output in high and low positions. When combined, the role played on the offensive end is 1+1\u003e2, and the Nuggets' inside line is stronger than Nene. As a typical example of defense, Koufus' physical talent, which Karl reused, is still a bit poor.

Before the season, many experts were optimistic about the Nets' inside partner. But the arrival of West not only had a good chemical reaction with Lopez, but Anderson, who returned to the bench as an inside substitute, was also activated. The inside line of the Nets feels that they can gain some advantages against most teams in the league at once.

The offensive and defensive balance from the inside to the outside, compared to last season's team's overall lack of offensive means, which led to the need to sacrifice the defense of the power forward position to support the offense. This year's Nets have evolved from checking for omissions to filling in for vacancies to helping each other.

The appearance of the Russian Mozgov also failed to offset the advantage the Nets had gained inside, and Leonard's timely outside support helped the Nets overtake the score in the second quarter. In the stalemate stage of the game, he stood up and hit the damn three-pointer, which more or less recovered some ground for being shot by Gallinari in the first quarter.

At 47:50, at the end of the second quarter, the Nets completed the lead in the score.

"This schedule is really torturous." Jiang Mingliang looked at Jerry West beside him with a wry smile, and said with emotion.

The Nets with a young lineup and a large number of generals feel difficult, let alone those teams with a large number of veterans. However, as far as the league is concerned, this is something that can’t be helped. The schedule plan that has come up now is already a balance point obtained by weighing the quality of the game and the commercial needs of broadcasting. If there are fewer games, the broadcaster should sue the NBA. The league is in default!

"In the third quarter, the substitute players must stand up. Otherwise, not only in this game, but also in the match against the Jazz tomorrow." West vaccinated Jiang Mingliang in advance.

It's not that he grows the ambition of others and destroys his own prestige. However, all competitive sports must have their own laws of motion. Playing on a plateau must be a little uncomfortable for the players, especially young players. Coupled with the fatigue accumulated in five days and four games, there is a high probability that there will be some problems.
