Back on the defensive end, it was Marion who made a key defense again, successfully interfered with Leonard's shooting, and grabbed a backcourt rebound in a melee.

As the only person in the Mavericks who enjoys a high-paying long-term contract besides Nowitzki, Marion is the one who has the least worries, and is also the one who performed the hardest in the game. As a nearly 34-year-old veteran, when he has fulfilled the big contract that lasted for 14 years, he has basically reached the age to consider retiring. Stars, even selected in the dream team, have no regrets in their careers, and they can consider that Huaxia has entered the crew as a special actor (O(∩_∩)Ohaha~)

After experiencing the bad start of the last game against the Spurs, the whole game fell into a passive position. In this game, the adjusted Nets soldiers paid special attention to this point. Against the veterans of the Mavericks, they increased the defensive intensity. If you lose one thousand, you will also injure the enemy eight hundred.

Compared with the Mavericks, who were third in the regular season last season and won the championship all the way in the playoffs, the current team's decline is too obvious. Stojakovic, Stevenson and even Barea are not difficult to fill in, and Carter has also made up for the loss caused by Butler's departure on some levels. But the departure of Tyson Chandler, the center who made up most of the holes for the Knicks this season, is really not what last season's substitute Heywood can replace. Heywood is far behind Chandler in terms of defensive range and ability to protect rebounds. On the offensive end, he has repeatedly criticized the Nets because of the problem of offensive speed, either directly destroying the offense or sending fouls to the free throw line. With free throws, the Mavericks fell into a hard fight.

In the first half of the game, the Nets' score advantage was always maintained at single digits, but the suppression formed on the scene was more obvious. A very important point is Paul George's defense against Terry, the second leading scorer of the Mavericks. The super sixth man in the finals against James did not play the role of Manu Ginobili in the previous game, but was inefficient. He shot an embarrassing percentage of 10 and 2 in the half.

As for the legendary Kidd shared by the two teams, it is already difficult for him to give the team instant help in scoring. When the team as a whole is at a disadvantage, Kidd has no good way.

After the third quarter of the game, Nowitzki tried to lead the team to launch a counterattack. Nowitzki designed by Carlisle referred to the line as the axis, and the tactics of other players interspersed with running positions played a certain effect. Nowitzki is worthy of being a historical superstar on the offensive end. He faces the frame, supports with his back, and is omnipotent. Although time has slowed down his pace, he still has the power forward position and is the most terrifying offensive threat.

However, although the Mavericks' offense was fierce, this game seemed to be a replica of the last round of the Nets against the Spurs. The difference was that the Nets took the initiative and sat firmly on the Diaoyutai. Every time the Mavericks complete a shock wave and narrow the point difference, someone in the Nets will always stand up and suppress the Mavericks' offense.

Although George's efficiency was mediocre under Marion's marking in this game, several other young players in the Nets team showed good performances, especially Bledsoe, who made four of six shots in a single quarter and scored With 8 points, both offensive and defensive ends suppressed the team's legendary point guard.

In the end, the game ended at 127:112. The Nets won the defending champion with a 15-point advantage in the away game and double-killed their opponents this season. The performance of the 6 players scoring in double figures also shared the pressure on everyone in a balanced manner. After all, the team still needs to face the Houston Rockets back to back.

After sending his blessings for the Chinese New Year before the New Year, Jiang Mingliang became a fan of the Nets' strength. The team's popularity in China has surpassed the Thunder and the Spurs in one fell swoop, rising to the fourth position, which seems to be a ranking that can be complacent. However, before the game against the Rockets, the support rate was surveyed a little, and it was 17%: 83% are self-defeating!

"I'm still a little too optimistic." Jiang Mingliang said regretfully when he got up to have a small meeting with Qin Zhengwei in the morning.

"It can't be helped. In any sports forum in Huaxia, Rockets fans have no problem arguing with their tongues. They can tell you what's wrong, and what's dead can be said to be alive. Unless there is another Yao Ming, this situation is not good. subject to change."

In fact, Qin Zhengwei didn't need to say these things. How could Jiang Mingliang have never experienced it in his previous life? Well, the fans themselves are subjective!

It is already considered lucky to be able to reach the number of fans of the Lakers in later generations.

After breakfast, Jiang Mingliang came to the office in a good mood, turned on the computer, and started checking emails. In addition to reports from team scouts targeting hot rookies, an email from Warriors general manager Bob Myers was throbbing on the interface.

"Oh shit!" Jiang Mingliang couldn't help but swear when he clicked on the message, and his emotions were suddenly confiscated.

Bob Myers hopes that in the offseason, the two sides will reach a deal around Curry and George.

How much the Nets or Jiang Mingliang likes Curry, the Warriors certainly know how rogue Jiang Mingliang is, as can be seen from his many fairy-like signings. But why the Warriors are willing to trade with the Nets knowing the huge potential in Curry? This will involve the deal reached by the team a year ago. The deal reached with the Jazz.

A deal directly helped the Jazz complete the reconstruction. Ellis and Thompson, who had been converted from draft picks, all became the Jazz's starters. Favors was also the team's first rotation insider. , The Jazz are firmly in the top seven in the Western Conference this season, but the Warriors, who got an All-Star point guard, have no hope of making the playoffs. At this moment, something even more tragic happened. Deron Williams, who had spent a lot of money on the team, was rumored to have an affair with the Mavericks. He and Howard gathered in Dallas in the summer and formed a 3D combination. Pauls panicked.

Through contact with the agent, I probably learned that Deron Williams has two points of dissatisfaction. One is naturally that the lack of improvement in the team's performance has caused him to decline steadily in the ranking of league point guards. The inside style is incompatible, especially on the defensive end, no one can beat the opponent's big shooting guard. Trade Curry, get a strong player, and kill two birds with one stone to keep Deron. But in the league, apart from Jiang Mingliang, who is willing to pay too much valuable chips for Curry, whose career attendance rate is less than 67%? And George is also an excellent team building core. Even if the deal is reached, Deron will still not be able to stay. At least the team can rebuild around George.

"We are not considering trading George for the time being." Jiang Mingliang's reply was firm.

From the time when the Jazz and the Warriors reached a deal, no, it should be the first moment he entered the Nets. Jiang Mingliang began to plan for Curry and considered various possibilities. Even if it was a one-on-one deal, he would Absolutely not spare any player in the team.

But right now, due to various reasons, Curry's transaction value has been suppressed to a low point. At this time, it would be a little bit to make a single exchange for George. . . . . .

The Nets have experienced the transfer rumors of Anthony, Deron, Paul, and Howard. Jiang Mingliang knows that the team is popular in the trading market. Taking a step back, even if the Warriors find other buyers for Curry in the future, they will also pass the news to the Nets in order to maximize their benefits.
