Build a Dream Dynasty

Perhaps inspired by his own boss to supervise the battle in person, perhaps because of the beauty's performance in the side, perhaps it was the first time the team had a big star to watch the game, and the Nets players in the second quarter showed extra effort. , especially on the defensive end, looking at the hard running and all-out confrontation, he actually withstood the Spurs' attack for a while. In the fast counterattack, the three lines of the left, center and right are arranged in sequence, and the three arrows are fired in unison, which also makes the Spurs hard to guard. At the beginning of the game, the young Nets actually outscored the Spurs by 9:2 and overtook the score in one fell swoop, forcing Popovich to call a timeout.

"This Danny Green, I haven't noticed it before, it's really okay." The game continued, Popovich said to the assistant coach Messina beside him.

"I've noticed this guy before, he's tough and smart on defense. But on offense, lack of ball handling, inconsistent shooting, and the Nets are a very space-dependent team. , so he's probably fourth on the flank." As Popovich's think tank and database, Messina immediately said what he knew.

"The fourth pick. Ettore, is it possible for us to get him?" Popovich asked with interest.

"It's hard to tell, but according to the data, he only signed a contract with the Nets for one year. Maybe we can try to exchange them with them in the second round."

It happens to be in East Rutherford right now, and it is definitely much better to have a face-to-face transaction than to meet on the phone. However, this will be discussed later in the game.

Back on the court, the Spurs still didn't take advantage. The veteran Carter can be said to be annoyed when he sees this team. Once upon a time, he was also the victim of Bowen's conspiracy. He was stepped on by Bowen three times in a row. The picture of the fight has also become a classic memory picture of the NBA. Although Bowen is gone now, it does not mean that these victims will forgive these past sins. The rookie Gary Neal, who was reused by Popovich because of his good defense, couldn't stand Carter's microcosmic explosion at all, and was hit by Carter three times in a row.

With the growth of age, Carter's state declines very obviously. After all, he was also seriously injured when he was young. After returning to the Nets this season, Carter began his own transformation. Delegated to the bench, increased off-ball movement, reduced the time with the ball in hand, and improved your outside three-point accuracy. Carter's transformation is painful, not only the sweat on the court in training, the change in the way he plays on the court, but also the overcoming of the hurdle in his heart. But Carter's transformation is also timely! Withdrawing back to the position of the sixth person, I do not need to overload the responsibilities that I have been unable to support every day, which reduces the wear and tear of the body. The change in playing style, becoming an excellent role player, has improved Carter's efficiency, and the occasional singles and dunks with the ball are a symbol of the veteran's self-righteousness.

Old Carter's all-out efforts have also driven the arrogance of the young Nets team. All the old bones have taken the lead. What reason do young people have not to go all out? Under the command of the three military, the Nets overtook two points with 54:42 at halftime.

Being good at playing the third quarter is the conclusion that Stevens came to after careful study of this Spurs team. In fact, in the NBA game, the probability of winning or losing in the third quarter is the highest among the four quarters. After the coaches tested each other in the first half, the fighting style in the third quarter was particularly exciting.

Afraid of Duncan's single-playing ability, Stevens did not dare to choose a change, and could only make a fuss about the position of point guard. Veteran Carter replaced Jeremy Lin as the point guard in the third quarter.

"Isn't it useful at all?" Popovich didn't panic, Ginobili was in charge of switching to Carter, and Parker went to Korver at the second position.

One-on-one bullying Ginobili is certainly not Carter's opponent, but Duncan is a cat inside, and Carter is destined to be unable to deal with Ginobili the way he bullied Neil in the second quarter. Moreover, although Bowen sucked the Spurs away. Mostly sarcasm, but Ginobili's hands and feet are also notoriously unclean in the league, and quite insidious on the defensive end (stepping Brooks, Green, knocking Griffin).

Although this season is the worst season of Duncan's career so far, it is compared to himself. Throughout this season's games, his role on both ends of the Spurs' offense and defense is still difficult for any player in the league. replaced. Under his leadership, in the third quarter, the Spurs reduced the speed of the team's offense and defense transition, regained the essence of the past defensive strong team, and dragged the Nets into a tug of war.

Under Stevens' training, the Nets do not have the problem that other youths are good at fast-paced offense and defense transitions, and they are handicapped as soon as they arrive in a positional battle, but the reality of the team's lack of strong scorers also makes them face the Spurs. This kind of team is very difficult to play. George's single-player Jefferson's mid-range jumper is a good way to score, but he alone won't hurt the Spurs.

Splitter, who replaced Blair, did not contribute much on the offensive end, but he liberated Duncan and did a very good job in rushing offensive rebounds, repeatedly grabbing rebounds from Anderson and Lopez.

Sighing lightly, Stevens shook his head. Judging from the current situation, the team's weakness in the power forward position can only be resolved next season.

There are already candidates for signings in my heart, and it will depend on the operation of Jiang Mingliang and West.

"Shhh!" George's fifth mid-range pull in the third quarter ~www.novelmt.com~ could only narrow the point difference to within ten points, but it could not reverse the team's overall disadvantage.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the dead ball, Stevens finally made an adjustment. Baines came on stage and replaced Anderson, who had no performance under the restraint of Spurs tactics, and played the twin towers. At the same time, Jeremy Lin came on, replacing Carter, and Green came on, replacing Korver.

In recent years, among the mid-stream and downstream teams in the NBA, the Bucks are the best team to play against the Spurs. It's not just how strong this Eastern playoff fringe team is, it's just that their lineup structure is just enough to restrain the Spurs.

Mo Bu Chuan at No. 1 and Reed at No. 2 are all players who can take charge of the ball and complete mid-range shots and can guarantee the hit rate. Countless facts have proved that the Spurs are really afraid of players who are accurate in the mid-range. Bogut of the Lunei line is famous for playing Duncan in the 2004 Athens Olympics. In the rookie season of the NBA, he also completed the alley-oop lore on Duncan's head.

"Two ends of the offense and defense consume Duncan." Baines conveyed the coach's intention to George and Lopez on the court, and the two immediately understood.

It was the Spurs' turn to attack again, but when the ball was launched through Duncan again, Baines immediately put it up. The bear-like physique pressed on Duncan, supplemented by the various small moves that Australians are good at, making Duncan uncomfortable.

Unlike the American jumper, the upper body strength is strong, but the lower body strength is weak. The lower body of the Australian center is quite strong. The disadvantage is that the movement is slow, and the advantage is that the feet take root. It is a good hand for low-position defense.

Duncan was forced to pass the ball. After Parker caught the ball, he broke through and missed the shot. George received the rebound. Just as he was about to launch a fast break, he found that the Spurs’ retreat was timely enough. He had to hand the ball to Jeremy Lin and organize slowly.
