Build a Dream Dynasty

Sitting in the VIP seat, Presti was filled with emotion as he watched the fierce battle on the field. It's chilling to think about the almost-closed deal last offseason. If it weren't for the Thunder to withdraw the deal at the last minute, then the Nets would get Stephen Curry without sending George away, and the existing lineup would not be weakened in any way, just adding Perkins a garbage contract. With the financial resources of the Nets or Jiang Mingliang's means, it is not too difficult to send away Perkins' contract with high-quality contracts such as Jeremy Lin and Bledsoe, or directly buy out the contract. At that time, can the Thunder hold on? It's really hard to say for the Nets.

And the deal failed in the end, not because of how wise Presti himself was, or how good the chips of the 76ers really were, but because the general manager of the 76ers, Hinkie, revealed that Howard, who the 76ers participated in, went to the Lakers The news made Presti realize that Perkins stayed on the team, at least he could play a certain role in the fight against Howard, and he unintentionally disrupted the formation of the Young Guards in Jiang Mingliang's plan.

Sometimes, it is really up to people to plan and make things happen.

Even without George in the Curry trade, the Nets have made considerable progress this season, as can be seen from their matchup with the Thunder. Although the two-round confrontation last season was 1:1, but the Nets won the game with a lot of luck, and the lost game was solved by chopping melons and vegetables. And this season, the Nets have shown their strength against the Thunder.

Westbrook just received the ball at the three-point line, and Curry appeared next to him immediately. At this stage of the game, Westbrook took the initiative to face Curry on the defensive end. Curry shutting down and not fighting is not the answer. When it's time to confront, you have to confront. Compared with the Nets who are all soldiers, the Thunder have a clear goal at critical moments, and the ball must be played by the Thunder and the young, so the Nets' defensive focus has also obviously expanded.

Westbrook faltered, flashed a little breakthrough space, then lowered his shoulders and broke through to the inside line, showing the explosive power of a beast, and carried Curry away. Westbrook's movements did not seem to have changed because of the collision, but The movement on the ball is also changing subtly. The left hand catches the bouncing ball and quickly hits it to Curry's left side. The ball is very fast. But he made an unexpected move, with a slight flick of his right hand, and without a sound, Ibaka had already inserted into the inside line smartly, received a pass from Westbrook at a fatal position, and flew into the air. Remember the dunk.

It was the Nets' turn to attack, and Curry was in possession of the ball. Just now, two consecutive jump shots missed so Curry decided to ease his hand and let his teammates attack first. Thinking of this, Curry made a flick of his wrist. In order to pass the action to Ray Allen, the Thunder players' attention was shifted to the right. In this game, Ray Allen still made a considerable contribution.

But at the moment when the ball was about to leave the control of Curry's palm, Curry suddenly pressed his hand down, then hit the ground and passed the ball, and passed the ball to Leonard, who was in half an open position. In this game, Leonard's focus is on the defensive end, and his offensive contribution is lower than usual. He has only scored 9 points so far. Leonard received the ball and faced Durant who was flying over, he chose to break through with a low body. Unexpectedly, Durant grabbed his shoulders and pulled him to the ground.

The foul was unmistakable, even dangerous, but Leonard, who took good care of his body, pulled back his strength in a timely manner, and did not confront Durant's strength. In addition, Durant's own actions were just trying to stop Leon with fouls. Nader broke through without any malice, but Leonard was fine.

Durant, who knew he was wrong, raised his hand and apologized to Leonard. The referee only whistled an ordinary foul for the sake of the Thunder's home game.

However, at this critical moment, Leonard's free throw fell off the chain. Leonard missed two free throws and missed a good opportunity to help the team regain the advantage. What's more terrible is that after receiving the rebound, Durant sent a pass, and Westbrook once again used the connecting segment to attack and score. The Nets didn't have time to foul, and the Thunder overtook the score. Curry and Rea Lun was somewhat careless in this round of defense.

Stevens handed in a timeout, rearranged his tactics, and returned from the timeout. The Nets changed their stance to rely more and more on Curry's personal offense. After the two insiders mentioned the line for double screens, Curry and Ray Allen were two. The outside firepower contained most of the Thunder's defense. Leonard went straight to the basket and completed a layup before Ibaka stepped forward to make up the defense.

There is only one minute left in the game, and the two sides are still tied. Such a classic matchup also made the fans and commentators hooked, but the players in the game are full of pressure. From the ace of the two teams The decline in Curry and Durant's participation in the game can imagine the consumption of the two people. At this stage, both of them are only participating in the team's offense as a check point rather than a starting point.

Westbrook hit the Nets defense countless times in this game, and the results were outstanding. However, at the critical moment, he charged again but failed to take the lead for the team. Lopez blocked it from the front and Leonard blocked it from behind. , The two most important players in the Nets' defense teamed up to destroy Westbrook's offense and got the ball. He didn't whistle, but he didn't care about Westbrook's recklessness.

The record of the broadcast footage is clear, the block behind Leonard is crisp and neat, and Lopez's arm is fully straightened, there is no problem. If you have to worry about it, it is doubtful whether Lopez's lower body hit Westbrook, but this level of "foul" is absolutely impossible to blow at the last moment of the game.

On the other hand, the technical foul that Westbrook yelled at the referee at the last moment was correct. Unfortunately, today's referee is really biased towards the Thunder. Several key penalties fell to the Thunder.

Back on the defensive end, the controversy reappeared. Curry dribbled past Westbrook, but suddenly dropped the ball. Westbrook tried to steal the ball behind him, and accidentally hit Curry's elbow, which interfered with Curry's dribble. , However, the referee still did not express anything.

At this time, Stevens couldn't take it anymore, and kept talking to the assistant referee on the sidelines, but the scholar-like Stevens was obviously not as intimidating as the "murderer" Schneider, and he also accused the referee However, Schneider was whistled for a "technical foul". It really is a world of face.

"The league is determined not to let us win!" In front of the TV, Jiang Mingliang was also very upset. If his strength is really low, he is ready to lose to the Thunder, but what does this kind of script killing mean?

"Maybe it's the meaning given to the battle for the number one spot in the Eastern Conference in a few days' time, who knows!" West replied angrily. Te is even more displeased with this penalty.
