Build a Dream Dynasty

At the beginning of the third quarter, Stevens still did not make any adjustments to the formation. He did not intend to entangle with the Clippers too much on the defensive end. He mainly used the advantages of personnel rotation to consume the opponent's physical strength. Or play your own offense.

​​

After three and a half games in the finals, both Stevens and Jiang Mingliang actually discovered a misunderstanding in the team's thinking about team building, that is, the Nets gave up their super strong players on the flank line when they first won two championships. Reserve, maximize the attack power of the backcourt.

​​

Think about the last time against the Thunder, the Nets had Leonard, Barnes, Fernandez, Grant Hill four people who could take turns dealing with Durant, that period, because of James, Durant, Anthony, etc. Everyone is at the top, and they are direct competitors to the Nets, so a lot of energy is put into the wings.

​​

With the maturity of Leonard, the Nets have one of the three power forwards, and Anthony's state has declined. Durant has also failed to become a direct competitor of the Nets for various reasons in recent years, resulting in Jiang Mingliang and Stevens unknowingly lost some awareness of danger in times of peace. They didn't realize until this finals, when the team was blown up by Durant, that the strength of the team's flanks was already so "weak" .

​​

Next season, reinforce one or two useful blue-collars on the flanks. Even if you sacrifice some regular-season records, you will have to do more to protect against James and Durant in the playoffs.

​​

Fortunately, the team has Curry to help! On the offensive end, Curry is definitely at the level of nuclear weapons in today's league, even on the stage of the finals. His deterrent power lies not only in his amazing scoring explosiveness, but also in the good offensive environment he creates for his teammates. . This point, jr's experience is very deep, in this game, he became the biggest beneficiary of "kuli gravitation". Although from the scene, the Nets seem to be in a somewhat passive situation, but JR hit 2 three-pointers, broke into the layup and scored 8 points, helping the team to maintain the balance of the game.

​​

An "occasional All-Star" who is crazy in a big scene is indeed more stable than stable on the stage of the finals. Players with insufficient bursts can afford more expectations. In the event of three and a half quarters in this game, jr9 made 6 of 9 shots and cut. The next 15 points is a flashpoint outside the scope of Rivers' consideration.

​​

And just after the official timeout in the third quarter came back, the Nets began to make adjustments to the lineup. Porzingis, Jr Smith went off, Dinwiddie and Covington came on top, and the Nets' formation changed to five small.

​​

Dinwiddie is a dual-energy defender. With a height of 198, he has no pressure to carry the second position on the defensive end. He can also hold the ball on the offensive end, but he has the characteristics of not having the ball. Adding a ball holding point to Green reduces Curry. pressure on the body.

​​

The point is, after the rhythm was brought up, Embiid, who had chiseled the Nets' inside half court, couldn't run anymore. Without Porzingis, chase dreams to top him. He is a better player than Porzingis. As a lot of defenders, and even after Porzingis scored the ball, the Nets attacked very quickly. If Embiid couldn't keep up, the Nets would have a 4-on-4 or even 5-on-4 advantage in the frontcourt. The team is solid, and even if Embiid can keep up, his lack of mobility is a pitfall in the team's defensive lineup.

​​

Embiid is indeed the least afraid of the Nets' big five in the league, because he can seize the weakness of the five's lack of interior height to punish, thereby inhibiting the fluidity of the Nets' acceleration of offense, but this is also There is a premise that Embiid is in a state of physical fitness. Embiid, who took on the main attacking task for most of the game, was still a little bit difficult to face the situation of playing fast and fast.

​​

Embiid hit a low single on the left, turned and hooked in the middle by chasing dreams, scoring easily. 73 to 70.

​​

The Nets attacked. Leonard took the ball in the middle, passed the ball to Curry, who was running, and attacked Curry. He feinted a shot, broke through with the ball, changed direction and accelerated past Harris and entered the basket. . Dragic blocked the breakthrough route, and Curry gave the ball to Covington, who was cutting from the side, and the latter jumped up and forced a layup, which was stopped by Embiid.

​​

Although Covington has strength and can top people, his athletic ability is indeed a bit poor. If this ball is replaced with a better athletic ability, it is very likely that it will be 2+1.

​​

The Clippers attacked, Dragic passed to Joe Durant on the side, and then ran to the bottom line to form a triangle. Embiid asked for the ball from the left low, hit Dream Chaser Green with his back, turned around and shot in the middle. . 75 to 72.

​​

There is nothing wrong with chasing a dream by relying on strength to hit hard. Embiid turns around and shoots, and he can do nothing. In the league, there are not many people who can knock him out in this position, but Embiid is one of them.

​​

On the defensive end, Embiid was the one who was miserable. Chasing Meng resolutely pulled out to cover. Curry didn't even change his running route. He ran to the line from the left bottom corner and received the ball at 70 degrees.

​​

Embiid came out of the defense and was blocked by Curry with a change of direction. This time Harris retreated to block Curry's breakthrough route, and Curry half turned and divided the ball to the middle.

​​

Dream Chasing got an open shot opportunity, which was already the best open shot option the Clippers could make. The underrated Green dribbled the ball, made a three-pointer, and the ball went into the net hollow. 75:75.

​​

Dream Chasing was able to hit a three-pointer, which shows that the Clippers are really in trouble. Embiid and Durant felt unsupportable on the defensive end. Rivers had to call a timeout. There is no way to go on like this. The Nets are downright scheming, trying to maximize their roster advantage, which is what Stevens does best.

​​

Ballmer was not in a good mood on the sidelines. This year, the team was still eating the benefits of Embiid's child labor contract and called a luxury tax of more than 20 million, just to win the championship and keep Durant at the same time. But he has paid so much luxury tax, why does the team's lineup still look like the Nets, and the degree of dependence on the stars is still far greater than the opponent?

​​

The Clippers are to the Lakers in Los Angeles what the Nets are to the Knicks in New York, the underappreciated and more promising one in a city. Jiang Shixiao has much stronger financial resources than Dolan, and Ballmer makes the entire Bass family unable to keep up. After Ballmer acquired the Clippers, he first poached West from the Nets, and followed the example of the Nets and formed a team of experts that included talents in all aspects to support the team on and off the court. These improvements are not enough. If there is no championship, no matter how much effort the Clippers make, there is no way to really shake the Lakers' hegemony in Los Angeles.

Not to mention, without Kobe's $30 million salary burden next season, the Lakers can do something big in the free agency market! Like Durant!

​​

Rivers replaced Embiid with Kenyon Martin to increase mobility and tried to hold a few minutes, but Rivers overestimated the veteran and overestimated Durant's stamina, two minutes. In time, the Nets overtook the score by 8 points. With continuous offensive and defensive transitions, Durant even stayed directly in the backcourt, unable to move at all!

​​

After replacing Durant, the Clippers tended to collapse. Although Harris received some benefits from the home whistle, he fouled twice in a row, and made 4 of 4 free throws to help the team score points, but waited until the third. At the end of the quarter, the difference between the two sides inevitably came to 13 points.

​​

Seize the physical advantage of the main lineup and widen the difference. Stevens replaced the main lineup for a rest at the beginning of the fourth quarter, but the Nets still had the upper hand in the matchup between the bench lineups of the two sides. Although the referee was a bit biased, the whistle in the last game was a little too much, which caused the league After the referee team was under pressure from all sides, the referee in this game restrained a little in whistling. It can only be said that it was a little too much on the basis of the home whistle. This kind of intensity is within the tolerance range of the Nets. Widdy and JR used the mid-range to stabilize the Nets' advantage. In three minutes, the Nets' bench lineup widened the point difference to 14 points, which also made the two cores of the Clippers feel a little tired. .

​​

However, under this kind of pressure, Durant opened up again, and the "Death Comes" mode unfolded. He shot from inside and outside, scored 8 points in a row, and led the Clippers to complete an 11:2 attack wave. The difference was reduced to 5 points. Stevens had no choice but to make another substitution adjustment. Covington came on stage and replaced Dream Chaser Green. The team needed to strengthen its defense against Durant. ‘

​​

Jiang Mingliang, who was watching the ball in the hospital, only felt that the finals were under a lot of pressure. If speaking of the first half of the game, although he was still at a disadvantage, he knew that Stevens still had a hole card to play, and he knew the ball. If the team's advantage lies, then at this decisive moment, Jiang Mingliang is a little clueless.

​​

On the stage of the finals, there have been too many superstar moments. Who knows if Durant can complete the feat of playing one team and one team? If the big score between the two sides comes to 2:2, the Clippers, who have won two consecutive games, will definitely boost their morale. In the G5 game, Jiang Mingliang felt that there were many bad lucks. Coming back to Barclays Center with a 2-3 scoreline, it's hard to say a lot.

​​

But in any case, Jiang Mingliang made a psychological decision. In this summer, pursuing Durant will be the No. 1 pick for the Nets' summer job. Death is really too strong. After 13 years, Jiang Mingliang watched it for the first time. The Nets' game felt such a strong sense of pressure.

​​

The Nets attacked, Curry slowly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, Porzingis pulled out to cover, Curry dribbled the ball sideways, attracting Embiid to switch defenses, while Dragic chased again, Curry was on time The ball was given to Covington, who was 70 degrees on the right, and then moved in the opposite direction of Dragic, forcing the Clippers' defense to dislocate.

​​

Porzingis has the threat of outside shooting, Dragic can’t ignore him, and Embiid can’t keep chasing Curry. Running without the ball, Durant chases and defends Curry, and after Curry catches the ball Directly transferred the ball to the basket, and in time got rid of Leonard, who was behind Embiid's defense, to catch the ball, completed the dunk and widened the difference to 7 points!

​​

This ball is very important for the Nets. When the Clippers set off a wave of counterattacks, the team responded in time.

​​

The Clippers attacked, Embiid and Dragic played pick-and-rolls, Porzingis switched defenses, and kept distance to block the breakthrough route. Embiid pressed Curry to a low post on the right, and Covington came over to defend.

​​

Embiid scored the ball after attracting a pinch. Harris didn’t make the first shot. After stopping the ball, the Nets’ defensive rotation was in place. The Clippers failed to find a chance to pass the ball a few times, and quickly used up 24 seconds. , Dragic made a strong three-pointer, missed under interference, and Leonard added in to protect the rebound.

​​

The Clippers returned to defense very quickly. Curry dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, exactly the same as the previous routine. After the pick-and-roll, he attracted the pinch and then divided the ball, and then led the defensive formation of the Clippers to the left corner. On the back line, Porzingis blocked Durant who was switching defense, passed the ball in time in pursuit of dreams, Embiid switched to Curry, Curry faltered, changed direction and broke through, and easily passed Embiid with speed. He made three easy layups and widened the difference to 9 points again.

​​

At other times, Curry would definitely dunk, but on the stage of the finals, Curry chose a more secure way, he was afraid of being blocked by the basket.

​​

The Clippers attacked. Dragic and Durant played a pick-and-roll. After attracting a switch, they distributed the ball to the middle. Durant received the ball and shot a three-pointer against Curry. Curry made a symbolic jump. In the face of Durant~www.novelmt.com~ his height jump is useless. This kind of ball can only be prayed for. Durant is stronger than Curry in anti-interference. strong ability. However, his three-pointer feel is still a little worse than Curry, and he has a little more strength, and the ball bounces out of the frame.

​​

Leonard grabbed the rebound again and grabbed the rebound. When he landed, he found Curry who was going down quickly. After receiving the ball, Curry suddenly grabbed a three-pointer one step away from the three-point line. The Clippers Fernandez retreated at full speed, the distance was far, and then he saved to defend the three-pointer, one step slower, the ball scored!

​​

12 points! Durant tried his best to recover the point difference and was reopened by the Nets within 90 seconds. This time, Durant's mood also sank.

​​

With one hit, another failure, and three failures, Durant is now in a state of three failures. Whenever the Clippers establish an advantage, the Nets always have someone who can stand up and bite the score, and when the game enters the balance, Curry can always use his super shooting to widen the point difference, and the last sword is sealed. Throat, kill and kill.

​​

Things happened time and time again, and Durant's heart couldn't be unaffected.

​​

In the last four minutes of the game, although the referee also pulled a side of the frame and Embiid tried his best to fight three fouls, Durant's hand was average. He hit two goals in the last five shots and watched the Nets helplessly. He held the advantage and defeated the Clippers 131:123 to take a 3:1 lead on the stage of the finals!

​​

In the history of the finals, no team has ever come back from a 1-3 deficit in the finals. It can almost be said that the Nets are only one step away from the championship!
