Build a Dream Dynasty

Chapter 349 Strong Dialogue

On February 10, the Nets returned home to face the Clippers led by the new AMVP Paul. This game is also the team's starting center Lopez's comeback battle. The original four-week injury recovery cycle was scheduled to recuperate. After six weeks, the coaching staff also waited for Lopez to fully recover before letting him play. Even in order to prevent him from having problems again in the game, Bi Oscar communicated with Stevens and Schneider. During the regular season, try to keep Lopez's appearance time within 28 minutes to avoid any accidents. .

The long-lost full team of the Nets played, while the Clippers lost Butler and Crawford, which gave the old Nets player Sefoloza a chance to start the game and face his old club. It is veteran Barnes who fills the team's small forward position.

After forming a luxurious lineup, the Clippers' record is still tepid, and they can only rank fourth and fifth in the highly competitive West. This is obviously the opposite of the boss Sterling's plan. Paul, Griffin is an All-Star starter, and Jordan is also a leader in defensive centers in the league. On both ends of the offense and defense, the team's performance should not be like this. And the biggest weakness of this team is the wing position that has been valued by everyone at this stage. Although there are many people, none of them can do anything. In comparison, Sefolosha, who is good at defense, has shown a good performance after being traded to the Clippers.

After Nash's state declined, Paul took over the class of the first point guard. Even if Rose heroically won the MVP in the 10-11 season, no one had much doubt about Paul's title of the first point guard. After all In terms of the most basic skills of a point guard to organize the team's offense, Paul is indeed better than Rose by a lot, and Paul's basic data is not bad at all, and he can get 20+10 data all year round. However, the threat posed by Curry's rise this season has hit Curry even more, or to put it another way, it is the change in the league's style of play that has made Curry and Ross, a point guard known for his personal offense, become the mainstream. Deron, Rondo and others, who are also the number one organization, have declined to varying degrees. Fans and the media’s recognition of offensive point guards is increasing. The debate over who is the number one point guard between Curry and Paul is also intensifying. .

After the start of the game, the offensive mode of the Nets was more centered on the flanks. Lopez and West, two players with a certain range, both pulled to the free throw line to handle the ball. The Clippers' defense has been mobilized to a great extent. Fernandez and Leonard's air cuts, breakthroughs and mid-range shots have caused some trouble for the Clippers. A special training session came during the All-Star Weekend. Fernandez's touch today is quite good. Not bad, and Leonard's ability to handle the ball under Hill's precepts and deeds has achieved initial results, and he gradually got rid of the shackles of his "system Ariza".

As for the Clippers, because the team lost Butler and Crawford's two points that could complete singles scoring, it inevitably received a great impact on the offensive end. The team also needs two core players, Paul and Griffin, to solve the problem of scoring. In the first quarter, Griffin did a good job on the offensive end. Griffin and Paul developed a good understanding. In the offseason, Griffin has gradually developed his mid-range shooting and has achieved considerable stability. However, the two insiders of the Nets have a lack of athletic ability. One point was also caught by Paul and amplified. Griffin scored 13 points in a single quarter, helping the team maintain a score balance with the Nets. After the first quarter, the two sides battled to 27:28.

In the second quarter of the game, it became the performance time of the Nets' backup point guard Reggie Jackson. Facing the old Billups, Reggie Jackson showed that he was a young calf who was not afraid of tigers, and made breakthroughs after continuous use of pick-and-rolls Disturb the Clippers' penalty area. The strong Clippers have certain shortcomings in the inside bench. Odom, whose state has declined to the point where he cannot be watched, has long been given up on other teams. In the Clippers, he is still an important piece in the inside rotation. Reggie Jackson made two consecutive layups, forcing the Clippers to change their defensive strategy, and then assisted Ray Allen on the outside to hit a three-pointer, helping the Nets take the lead.

The depth of the bench is also a strong point for the Clippers to deal with most opponents. However, when facing the Nets, the Clippers are in a weak position, especially when Crawford is injured and absent, Negro can only increase Paul's playing time to get through this critical moment.

He is at the golden age of his career, on a team that is more suitable for him, and is still in the metropolis of Los Angeles. Strictly speaking, Paul has no dissatisfaction. The fleet signed a contract extension. But as early as when he applied for a trade from the Hornets, he also regarded the Nets as an ideal place to go, but at that time, Jiang Mingliang was very concerned, and no matter which superstar was interested, he would not respond. Thinking about it again after Curry typed it out, Jiang Mingliang said in an interview that he had operated the plan to trade Curry at least three times, which really made Paul a little envious of Curry, envious that the other party is in such an excellent team now, With the blessing of the management, a head coach who knows people and works well, a lineup full of stars, and a bright and broad future. . . . . .

Reggie Jackson's outstanding performance allowed Curry to rest on the sidelines until he reappeared with four minutes left in the second quarter. Curry, who had been brewing for a long time, returned to the court and took a big step outside the three-point line for the first attack Biao scored 3 points, and it was shot in front of Paul. This also made the fans at the scene cheer collectively. This is already the 244th three-pointer made by Curry this season, ranking fourth in NBA history in a single season. It is only 25 goals away from the historical record of 269 three-pointers in a single season created by Ray Allen in the 0506 season. Just the Nets' 52nd game of the season!

No one knows, what an incredible number Curry will raise this record to!

Looking back, Paul used the rhythm change after the pick-and-roll to win the shooting space for himself. With a precise mid-range jumper, Paul countered Curry in his own way.

Efficient, tough, intelligent, as the number one point guard in active service, this is the label of Paul. When the team needs it, Paul always does the right thing on the court. Regardless of Jiang Mingliang's subjective tendency, Paul is also a great opponent.

Returning to the offensive end, the connection between Curry and Green started again. The two made a hand-to-hand feint at the top of the arc. Knowing it, he made a time difference and successfully gave Curry a chance to go over the basket. Naturally, Curry would not miss it and hit the board steadily.

Curry, who had been silent for a long time, showed his power at the end of the second quarter and scored consecutively. The two core players of the Clippers were not particularly strong offensive types. Paul barely maintained his firepower during this period, but only with his piecemeal play , It can't change the fact that the Nets have the initiative. At halftime, the Nets lead by 11 points with 59:48.
