Build a Dream Dynasty

Also coming to China to participate in the preseason, the Nets and the Nuggets showed diametrically opposite attitudes. Stevens took advantage of the Nuggets, a Western powerhouse last year, to fully rehearse several sets of tactics that the regular season asked for. Especially on the offensive end, the continuous practice of concentrated routines allows the players on the field to run in in actual combat, and the Nuggets' offensive style of play is also very suitable for the Nets to conduct such drills. In terms of the Nuggets, the various strong plays brought about by the extremely strong physical talent reflect another extreme. Anthony, JR Smith, and Nene were raging on the Nets' inside line, respectively. Billups also put away his offensive desire and frequently sent second passes for his teammates. At the end of the first quarter, the Nets led by 4 points with 31:27. "How does it feel against Carmelo, Paul," Stevens asked.

"Emmmm, it's very difficult." Paul George smiled wryly, looking fairly stable.

"Don't be discouraged, against Anthony, your performance has exceeded my expectations." Stevens encouraged.

As a head coach, Stevens is very aware of the team he has built, where the weaknesses are, what type of player the nemesis is, and what kind of situation he is most afraid of. Carmelo Anthony is, in Stevens' heart, the player with the strongest ability to destroy the team.

As the most important defensive player on the perimeter of the Nets, Paul George is extremely mobile, and his height and arm length are also of great help to defense. In the face of skill-based and dexterous scorers, there are natural limitations, and although his weight is only 98 kilograms, but because of his excellent core strength, he can also stand up against most small forwards who pay attention to strength. Among them, Anthony, who has the most comprehensive and skilled offensive means, is undoubtedly the most difficult for George to deal with.

It can be considered to use this preseason performance to pay George a tuition fee.

In the second quarter, the Nuggets continued to challenge with a substitute lineup, and Stevens also sent Jeremy Lin, Whiteside, Danny Green and other "water cooler" players on the court to continue the drill. Some "pseudo" fans in the audience did not know beforehand that there was another Chinese in the Nets team besides Yi Jianlian, and their eyes were unconsciously focused on him.

Facing the defense of Nuggets veteran point guard Anthony Carter, Jeremy Lin took advantage of his body and made a sharp breakthrough to directly tear apart the Nuggets' defense line. After attracting the defense, he gave the ball to Danny Green, who was in ambush on the periphery. It's a pity that Danny Green Green is not that 3D template now. The three-pointer he shot with his raised hand hit the basket, betraying Jeremy Lin's good intentions.

"Is this player a Chinese who plays in the United States?" Xin Lancheng narrowed his eyes and asked.

Even if he can only be regarded as a layman in basketball, he can see that Jeremy Lin's breakthrough in the face of black players is something that few domestic defenders can do, so he can't help but become interested.

"He is Chinese-American, his name is Jeremy Lin. This year's undrafted, he was signed to the Nets." Before Jiang Mingliang could speak, Yao Ming first introduced it.

He also paid special attention to Jeremy Lin's situation, but after inquiring carefully, he probably understood that if there is no special method, there is basically no possibility that Jeremy Lin will not play in the China Men's Basketball Team. Moreover, Jeremy Lin is different from Jiang Mingliang, who subjectively intends to contribute to the Chinese men's basketball team. He can't even speak Chinese, and his personality is also very active in integrating into the black culture in the United States.

"It's a pity." Xin Lancheng shrugged, not going any further on this topic.

On the court, the game was still fierce. Although the Nets sent a bench lineup, the players on the court were still playing in strict accordance with Stevens' tactical thinking, especially on the defensive end, they almost tried their best to stop the Nuggets. team's offense.

In the Western Conference playoffs a year ago, the Nuggets and the bench bandits were on the rise, leading by 36 points in three quarters. When the Hornets had replaced the main force, they chased and fought hard in the fourth quarter, winning a single quarter by 22 points. The entire game slaughtered the Hornets with 58 points and nailed Chris Paul to the pillar of shame forever. Combined with Ouyang Mi's 58 advertisements in the same city, the "stalk" of 58 will be as popular as Arsenal's "4" in the future. Stevens, of course, knew that the Nuggets didn't talk much about morality, so he didn't relax at all.

The scores of the two sides rose alternately. The game entered the second half of the second quarter. Anderson, who had high hopes for Stevens, suddenly showed his power. Taking advantage of the carelessness of the Nuggets' backup power forward Balkman, he made four consecutive three-pointers in two minutes. The deficit was widened to 14 points before trailing at halftime.

Maybe it was because he was praised by head coach Stevens after returning to the locker room, or maybe it was because he realized that Stevens' subtle tactics can really help the team achieve good results in the new season. The newcomers composed of young people were high in spirit and high in fighting spirit. For a while, they suppressed the Nuggets who were still a little careless at both ends of the offense and defense. Lopez, who had been playing the wall for his teammates in the first half, finally had the opportunity to carry out his own work. He is good at inside low singles. After taking two **** from Nene in a row, he played inside-out with his teammates. After a 14:2 climax, the score gap between the two sides widened to 26 points. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

Last year, the Nets, who were last in the league in the regular season, led the Nuggets by 26 points in less than two and a half quarters. This time, the Nuggets head coach Karl was also a little embarrassed, and quickly began to dispatch troops. The bench gangster JR Smith replaced Dante Jones, and the second-year point guard Ty Lawson was replaced. On the court, he was like a headless fly. Martin, who was ineffective at both ends, and Anderson, the birdman with stronger defensive shrinkage, replaced Nene, changing into a big and four small. At the same time, it also released a signal to the players on the field, guys, it's time It's a good fight, and if it goes on like this, it'll be a shame.

And Stevens made a substitution adjustment after seeing Ty Lawson on the stage, replacing Bledsoe with Livingston. In this way, the Nets and Nuggets have a completely long lineup against a mini lineup.

In the stands, Yao Ming, who was sitting next to Jiang Mingliang, was overjoyed to see Stevens dispatching troops like this.

No matter in terms of height or experience, Ty Lawson can't defend against Livingston. No, after being abruptly resisted to the bottom corner of the penalty area line, Anthony let Yi Jianlian come to make up the defense, Livingston scored the ball in time, and Yi Jianlian completed the dunk before Anderson made up the defense, igniting the enthusiasm of the audience.

"Yi~jian~lian~~~!"

During most of the game, Yi Jianlian's performance could only be said to be tepid. It was rare to have the opportunity to release his emotions, and everyone was very excited. Amid the roar of voices, George Karl had no choice but to call a pause to cool down the atmosphere at the scene.

Seeing this, Stevens also admired Karl a little. It was a shame to call a timeout just after he had set up his tactics, but it interrupted the momentum of the "home team" in time.
