Build a Dream Dynasty

At the moment of stepping into the player channel, Paul George clearly felt that Leonard, who was alive, suddenly became short of breath and appeared disorganized. The rookie season, career debut, starter, this is often not a No. 15 pick. treatment.

Gently patted Leonard on the shoulder, whispered: "Kawaii, your situation this year is much better than mine last year. Don't think too much!"

Paul George's career debut was to challenge the league's top scorer Rudy Gay as an underdog, and the strength of the entire team was considered inferior to the Grizzlies. In that game, George performed well. While limiting Gay's scoring, it also cut off the cooperation between Gay and insider Randolph, and made great contributions to the team's victory over the Grizzlies. Today's Leonard, at least as the dominant side, is facing the Cleveland Cavaliers who have nothing but Irving.

This sentence is not a joke, look at the starting lineup of the Cavaliers, Irving, Gibson, Anthony Parker, Jamison, Varejao. Except for the point guard position, the much-anticipated Kyrie Irving may be better than Bledsoe. Players in other positions of the Cavaliers can only serve as substitutes when they come to the Nets.

However, even so, in the pre-match preparation meeting, Stevens made repeated orders, and he was not allowed to underestimate his opponent.

"At the beginning of last season, others saw us in the same way, but in the end we entered the playoffs as the sixth in the Eastern Conference, and many teams who laughed at us were inferior to us!" Stevens stimulated the group with personal experience Players, competitive sports, anything is possible!

As in training, the starting five of the Nets are: center Lopez, power forward West, small forward Leon, shooting guard George, point guard Bledsoe, and Leonor directly. Germany's debut also surprised many people.

This may be the youngest starting lineup in the league. When deciding this starting lineup, Stevens was also under heavy pressure. Even in the coaching staff, there were different opinions. However, Korver's struggle and inability throughout the playoffs last year hit Stevens hard. The goals that could be made in the regular season were repeatedly hit in the playoffs. Vince was also very helpless, so, with room for error tolerance, Stevens decided to polish Leonard with all his heart.

The game started on time, and the basketball was quickly thrown up as the referee blew his whistle.

The Cavaliers is in charge of the jump ball is the actor Varejao. This is one of the few jump ball opponents who can be "bullyed" by Lopez who is not good at jump balls. After taking a shot of the ball, there was a sense of ritual, and then the ball was passed to the team's point guard Bledsoe, and the Nets started their first offense.

George received the ball in the frontcourt, and David West mentioned a 45-degree pick-and-roll to block Anthony Parker. The speed of the ball in George's hand suddenly increased, and even at the moment of changing speed, it passed smoothly from the middle of the opponent's two defenders. Passing through, although the skills are not very skilled, George's explosive power combined with the overly casual defensive attitude of the two Cavaliers players Parker and Jamison, the visual effect is full.

Varejao did not hesitate to step out of the penalty area to supplement the defense. George's shooting percentage outside the three-second zone was as high as 43% last season. As the team's number one offensive point, this shooting percentage is quite impressive. At the same time of quality, George averaged 7.4 long-range mid-range shots per game, and the quantity can also reflect his style of play and ability.

In front of Varejao's defense, George leaned down and leaned on Jamison, who was defending from behind, and jumped up a horizontal pass. After receiving the ball, West directly drove the ball into Parker's defense.

Compared with last season, Anderson could only stand on the outside as a turret after finishing the pick-and-roll. Although West's offensive range has been reduced, he can provide more help. One step inside the three-point line is already within his shooting range. Facing the inside of the tank, he can use his footsteps and skills to play singles. Facing the defense of small guards, he can also rely on his body to sit in and eat alone.

Irving took the ball across the half court and quickly handed the ball to Jamison, who was pulling the outside line. Although he was the No. Weiss, it's impossible for Owen to be the boss and my second child right away!

Fortunately, after all, Jamison is not the character of Ricky Davis who gives rookies a bad start. After a few failed attempts to attack, he returned the ball to Irving. At the same time, he pulled the outside line to create space for Irving to play. .

As early as after the draft lottery ceremony, Irving basically understood that his first club in the NBA would be the Cavaliers. Of course, he accepted this. , Jerry West's three-turn and four-time attention still made Irving look forward to joining the more reliable Nets. He also fantasized about replacing Brad, who is on the opposite side with the best physical fitness and weak defense. What would be the result if Suo cooperates with this lineup, but unfortunately, things backfired.

Irving made a sudden change of direction and broke through Bledsoe, and then, I saw him go straight and quickly rushed to the free throw line! At this time, Leonard came over to defend and saw Irving holding the ball in his right hand and stacking it to the right, just when most people thought the ball would pass to Parker who had just pulled out of the net. Owen's right hand suddenly pressed. A hit just happened to pass to the left of Lopez, who was leaning to the right. Varejao, who got out of the way, received the ball and scored easily under the basket.

"Beautiful, champion Lang Irving's offense this time is very good. He broke through the Nets' defense head-on, and the wonderful assists he sent also made it easier for his teammates to score."

Although after entering the NBA, Irving's development trajectory is completely a scoring point guard, but the NBA's template in the draft is instead Chris Paul who is the best combination of scoring and assists. , Under the guidance of the old coach K, Owen's passing awareness and skills are still good.

On the offensive end, Irving can indeed make a good contribution, but back to the defensive end, Irving's overwhelmed defense meets the Cavaliers' disorganized lineup, which is more sad. It is said that the progress of the Nets last season was unexpected, and the most overlooked thing is that Stevens valued defense, while the Cavaliers' defense was completely untargeted. The Nets rely most on the pick-and-roll on the offensive end, and the Cavaliers, including players like Irving and Gibson, basically can't find southeast and northwest with just a pick-and-roll.

Three and a half minutes into the game, Gibson hit a three-pointer after receiving Irving's point and scored the Cavaliers' second goal of the game. At this time, the score between the two sides was already 11:5.

However, before the Cavaliers had time to be complacent, the Nets once again exposed the Cavaliers' defensive problems in the next attack. Although Bledsoe's strong breakthrough layup was missed under Varejao's interference, West Using the position that Lopez helped to get stuck, he grabbed the offensive rebound. After landing, he didn't choose to pass the ball, but came directly with a beautiful half hook! Accurate hit of the basketball.

After scoring the goal, Stevens on the sidelines also waved excitedly to celebrate. Grabbing offensive rebounds, staring at the defense and scoring the ball, this kind of scene was really too rare to see in the Nets last season.
