Build a Dream Dynasty
Chapter 117 Not Fearing Strong Enemies
On December 27, the Continental Airlines Center Arena ushered in the Nets' home debut of the new season. The team that came to visit was enough, the defending champion Dallas Mavericks.
However, this Mavericks can be said to be the least deterrent defending champion in history. The backbone of the defense Chandler was recruited by the Knicks with a big contract, the backup point guard Barea joined the Timberwolves, the all-around small forward Caron Butler switched to the Clippers, plus Stevenson, Peja, Brewer and others With the departure of a group of players, even though the team has added players including Carter as a supplement, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this team is not as good as before.
Why did Cuban choose to tighten money this summer and let go of many heroes who won the championship? One is because of the true perception of the team's strength. He also knew in his heart that it is not an exaggeration to describe the Mavericks' championship last season as a miracle, but the reason why a miracle is a miracle is because he will never perform it every day. The second is because of Cuban's ambition to form the Big Three. There are rumors in the league that Cuban is confident that Deron Williams, whose contract will expire after the season, and Howard Della, who has entered the player option, will join the team. Team, plus Nowitzki in the team, the prospect of the 3D combination is worth looking forward to. The last reason is because of Nowitzki's knee injury. The German defeated the Big Three and won the championship with the knee injury, but it also aggravated the knee injury. After half a year of recuperation, he did not fully recover. For As far as this veteran is concerned, although he can try his best to play, it is really difficult to guarantee his state.
Before the game, the Continental Airlines Center was full of cheers. The Mavericks had a lot of old Nets players. Kidd, Carter, and Yi Jianlian all created their own legends in the Nets, especially the first two. The retired Nets jersey has been locked. For Kidd, who just realized his championship dream last season, the fans also sent their blessings.
And on the sidelines, Taylor Swift, who is busy running around the world and giving concerts, also appeared on the sidelines of the Nets' new season debut. At this stage, Taylor Swift is getting more and more labeled as a "Nets fan" It's getting heavier.
Taylor Swift obtained the position in the front area of the infield through Jiang Mingliang, and another popular singer Carly Rae Jipson (squatting girl) also appeared on the sidelines not far away. The popular Canadian female singer "Me Maybe" is in the limelight. When the scene was shown to her, the fans at the scene cheered, and even the DJ took the initiative to play the melody of "Call Me Maybe", which made the squatting girl cover Mouth laughing.
After finishing the work at hand, the game had already started when Jiang Mingliang came to the arena. Jiang Mingliang and Meimei looked at each other with a smile, and walked straight over.
"Long time no see." Sitting next to Taylor, Jiang Mingliang said kindly.
I feel a little guilty, I planned to give myself tickets for Taylor Swift's several concerts, but because of such and such things, I haven't been able to go, it's a little pity.
"I can't help it, you're too busy!" Taylor Swift's tone was a bit resentful, and it seemed that she really cared.
After all, during the lockout period in the past, it was not convincing to use busyness as an excuse.
"Then, do you have time tonight? Let's hang out together." Jiang Mingliang smiled and expressed his apology with actions.
"Now?" Taylor Swift asked in surprise.
We have all arrived at the game site, and the photos that should be taken by the media have also been taken. The two of them leave the field again. Isn't this an opportunity for the reporters to make a big statement?
"After the game. You're used to staying up late anyway."
Recording songs, rehearsals, concerts, award ceremonies and so on, for Taylor Swift, staying up late is indeed commonplace. Nodding, Taylor Swift accepted Jiang Mingliang's invitation.
"OK." Jiang Mingliang took out a small bottle of medicine from his trouser pocket, poured out two pills, asked the arena staff for a bottle of water, and gulped it down.
"Are you feeling unwell?" Seeing Jiang Mingliang's strange movements, Taylor asked with concern.
"Vitamins." Jiang Mingliang shook the medicine bottle and said helplessly, "I'm 27 years old, and my body is no longer as vigorous as when I was 22 years old."
Seeing Jiang Mingliang's sad words, Taylor could not help but smile, "It's so scary, you haven't even reached your prime yet!"
Taking out the medicine bottle and pretending to take medicine is just a trick for Jiang Mingliang to get along with Taylor Swift. In a slightly passive relationship situation, it is easier to induce women's sympathy and reduce their desire to attack by showing weakness appropriately. Jiang Mingliang's unexpected move made Taylor Swift get rid of his unhappiness of missing his concert. This was Jiang Mingliang's goal.
Although the team's strength was severely damaged in the summer, the Mavericks still had the upper hand in the first quarter of the match between the Mavericks and the Nets. Facing the Mavericks, who also have many veterans and rich experience, the Nets seem to have returned to the time when they played against the Celtics in the playoffs last year. Especially on the offensive end, they encountered very targeted restrictions.
Last year's playoffs, a large part of the problem was Korver, and in this regular season, it was Leonard who played this role. Under the restrictions of Marion, Leonard made three shots in the first quarter. He scored zero and scored no points. His inaccuracy directly increased the offensive pressure of the Nets at several other points, and the game entered a relatively ugly rhythm.
You have to face all kinds of opponents in a season, and not every opponent will let you play to your strengths. Mavericks, Celtics, Spurs and other teams are best at hitting your seven inches. At this time, what you have to do is to maintain patience and deal with the opponent, and at the same time, do not hesitate to aim when the opponent has a loophole. ,attack.
The age of the lineup is too old and the strength of the bench is limited. This is a stubborn problem that the Mavericks cannot get rid of. After entering the rotation, a hole in the Mavericks quickly emerged. Lamar Odom, the victim of being traded to the Mavericks after being waived by the Lakers management, did not seem to be cured after coming to the Mavericks. My own heartache, on the contrary, has a tendency to continue to decline.
"Snap!" Stealing the ball from Odom in a trance from the front, Leonard avoided speeding up and leaning against Terry, who was defending behind him, and a tomahawk dunked to relieve his anger, sweeping away the opponent in the first quarter. The haze that Lyon confines.
In just two minutes of Odom's debut, the 6-point difference was immediately wiped out by the Nets. This speed somewhat exceeded Mavericks coach Carlisle's expectations. Immediately, Yi Jianlian replaced Odom's position on the field, and the task of holding the ball for halftime was returned to Terry.
Returning to the stadium where he has struggled for three years, Yi Jianlian has mixed feelings in his heart. Whether it was the main force in the first two seasons who got enough playing time but failed to enter the playoffs, or the last season as a role player but reached the playoffs while maintaining health, and won his own playoffs Yi Jianlian has to admit that the Nets have been patient and caring enough for his training for the first and only victory. Even the contract Jiang Mingliang gave was the biggest contract he could get.
It's a pity that there is no chance to turn back in life, some things are paid by mistake after all.
Compared with the applause received by Kidd and Carter, Yi Jianlian, who is also an old player, did not receive much feedback. After all, his contribution to the Nets is not the same.
