On November 1st, the Nets lost 99:114 to the Mavericks. On November 3, the Nets lost to the Spurs 92:101 away.

On November 4th, the Nets lost 102-107 to the Pelicans

In the blink of an eye, the three-game losing streak struck. Judging from the record, the Nets have returned to the miserable days of last season. But both Spurs coach Popovich and writers in major media have given positive comments when it comes to the Nets.

Compared to last season, when they were often pulled apart by their opponents, this year's Nets appeared to be resilient. Except for the bleak game against the Mavericks, which was caused by Terry's blowout, they also struggled with the old-fashioned Spurs and the Pelicans led by Paul. In the last two minutes, the loss to the Spurs was due to inexperience, and the loss to the Pelicans was due to lack of physical strength to fight back to back.

Fans also expressed their understanding of the huge pressure on the Nets to set the schedule. When the team welcomed its future rival, the New York Knicks, at home on November 7, the Continental Airlines Center Arena was full, which was a long absence. Shengjing, for at least more than 8 months, the Nets' home court has not been so lively.

Although it failed to attract James, Wade and others to join, the Knicks are still an eye-catching team so far in the new season. Stoudemire's numbers have risen instead of falling after leaving Nash. Felton has also made rapid progress under the coaching of D'Antoni, the most skilled point guard in the league. Together with Wilson Chandler, Gallina The growth of young players such as Leigh, Fields, etc., the Knicks played beautiful basketball that has been missed for a long time. Although the record is only 2 wins and 2 losses so far this season, the high score of 107 points per game makes the fans very enjoyable. Stoudemire Seoul's average of 27 points and 10 rebounds also ranked second in the selection of the best player of the week, and everything seems to be going in a good direction.

Against the future derby opponent in the same city, Jiang Mingliang personally attended the game and came to the scene for two consecutive home games. Jiang Mingliang, the general manager of the team and the team owner, was also welcomed by Nets fans. After all, he is a good person who has improved the welfare for everyone!

At the beginning of the game, Stoudemire, who bounced amazingly, won the jump ball. After receiving the ball, Chandler immediately handed the ball to Felton's organization, and then ran to the front court. However, George and Bledsoe rushed to Felton with the basketball. In the first round of the opening, George and Bledsoe double-fed Felton who was holding the ball in the frontcourt. Both of them were physically tough. , At the same time, a player with an excellent wingspan, and he came prepared, giving Felton pressure and completely blocking his passing line.

In the blink of an eye, Paul George finished copying the ball. At this time, the Knicks' three-point line was empty. George was full of strength, soared into the air, and completed a beautiful 270-degree dunk in the air.

"yeah!" As soon as the game started, the atmosphere at the Nets' home court was ignited by George. New Jersey fans liked Paul George so much.

And George completed the steal and dunk at the opening, which was also a blow to the Knicks' morale. However, D'Antoni's reaction was obviously much more timely than Hollins before, and he even stood on the sidelines to encourage his players.

"Hey, Steve, cheer up, it's just an accident." D'Antoni directly called Felton "Steve" and directly compared him to his "Nash". This kind of encouragement is very clever.

Passing the ball for Stoudemire like Nash, this is D'Antoni's guidance and expectation for Felton.

Felton's through ball put the ball in the hands of the insider Stoudemire, and Lopez greeted him immediately.

Gallinari and Chandler are both excellent three-point shooters, and Anthony Randolph also has a strong athletic ability, so the Nets would not dare to double-team Stoudemire easily. Stoudemire holds the ball in his right hand. A fierce force collided with Lopez's muscles, and forcibly pushed away Lopez's defense, his body's center of gravity shifted quickly, he took a step back and fixed his footsteps, and he easily dunked under the basket.

A very ferocious attack method, which can be called the first face-frame attacking technique in history, is indeed well-deserved.

It was the Nets’ turn to attack. In the face of the Knicks’ somewhat sloppy defense, the Nets opened up a space for Anderson to shoot with a pick-and-roll, but her long-range three-pointer hit the front of the basket. Brook Lope Zika led Stoudemire to help George grab the offensive rebound, but then a throw shot was blocked by Stoudemire. The ball fell into George's hands. George made a fake move, but Stoudemire's center of gravity couldn't move up and then he took it away, Then faced a time difference in George's play, and used his superb bounce to fan the ball out of bounds again.

"..." Continuously wrong defensive habits create a successful defense, this is what Stevens thought at this time. As the last barrier on the inside, Stoudemire was easily stuck in position by Lopez, and it was a mistake for George to grab the rebound. Waiting for George to shoot at the basket and then block is the second mistake. The rebound came to George again, but Stoudemire still didn't post it. However, such an amateur defense finally succeeded. As an opponent's head coach, he could Say what? Players are encouraged to keep playing like this.

If Stoudemire can destroy the Nets' offense every time a wrong defensive habit can be done, then he should write the textbook of basketball.

The rhythm of the two teams was relatively fast. The two sides battled at 16:14 in the first half of the game. The Nets relied on Korver's two three-pointers to maintain a slight advantage over the Knicks.

D'Antoni called a timeout, and the game has now reached a stalemate. This time not only tests the performance of the players on the field, but also tests the wits and courage of the coaches off the field.

After the timeout, the Knicks served in the backcourt. Chandler just handed the ball to Felton. Danny Green and Paul George's double-team attacked again, completely covering Felton for the first time.

In view of Felton's short stature, not fast enough speed, and general passing vision, Stevens firmly grasped his seven inches. Although this double-team did not directly cause Felton's mistakes, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com has slowed down the Knicks' offensive edge and disrupted D'Antoni's original tactical deployment.

In D'Antoni's tactical system, the point guard plays a crucial role, and Felton's mentality has been affected, and the entire Knicks offense has been affected. At this time, George's outbreak broke the deadlock between the two sides. First, he received a transfer ball from Korver and made a three-point long shot. Then, under the block of Lopez, he made a layup, one person a minute. With five points in a row, the score was slightly opened. At the end of the first quarter, the Nets led by 6 points 33:27.

Although the Nets this season has shown hope, especially several young people, they have shown good potential, but this is more reflected in the defensive end and tactical discipline. In contrast, on the offensive end, each has its flaws. Paul George has unstable control of the ball, and has a greater grasp of catching and shooting. He is taller than himself in singles with the ball, especially in singles, and players who are stronger than himself are relatively lacking. Bledsoe's physical fitness is excellent, but his offensive rhythm is generally controlled, and his shot sight is unstable. Danny Green's situation is similar to Bledsoe's. Then there is now the Nets, which relies on young people, and scored 33 points in a single quarter this season on the Knicks. D'Antoni's heavy offense and light defense can be seen.

After leaving the Suns, D'Antoni has consciously attached great importance to defense, but his pride as an offensive master prompted him to prefer players who fit his offensive tactics and turned a blind eye to their weaknesses on the defensive end.

In the second quarter, the Nets scored another 31 points in a single quarter, while the Knicks relied on Fields and Gallinari's explosion in this quarter to score 32 points.

The Nets entered the second half with a score of 64:59.
