Build a Dream Dynasty

When it comes to Camby, many people's first impression is the most watery DPOY in history, the man who has lowered the gold content of DPOY by himself. Facing the All-Star insider who pees his pants every day, the defensive end deliberately misses people, brushes his hat and stats, making people think he is a defensive champion. But judging from the degree of popularity in his career and the contracts he has won in his career, he is really not just a brush. Of course, DPOY is not worthy of the name, but the "data brush" is also a bit too dark.

An obvious statistical evidence is that his DPOY in the 0607 season has a higher defensive efficiency than Howard in the 0809 season and Chandler this season.

In the Nets' tactical system that focuses on the ability to defend inside, Camby can play a big role. Moreover, the price the Nets need to pay for trading him is not large, which ensures that the team's daily lineup rotation will not be damaged to the greatest extent. Of course, there are also shortcomings. First of all, on the offensive end, don’t expect him to play the role of Lopez, or even to eat cakes under the basket steadily. It is not bad to hit some crooked mid-range shots. The second is his potential injury. , this veteran is also a typical example of saving money. The Blazers want to trade his most important point. His big contract of 10.7 million is not a problem for the Nets. The team is still 7.6 million away from the poor ghost line. There is also a distance of 5 million from the salary cap. There are a lot of rookie contracts and high-quality contracts in the team, which is not too healthy.

In the case of not losing the main rotation lineup, adding a veteran who can play a big role on the defensive end for nothing, Stevens agrees. In addition, he also expressed his desire to sign Dampier and strengthen the inside rotation Thinking about it, Jiang Mingliang immediately let Will Craig start operations, and first gave Dampier a ten-day short contract for inspection. Don't expect anything else, it's good to be able to top it during garbage time.

Lopez's injury also sounded the alarm for Jiang Mingliang and Stevens. In this shrinking season, players are more likely to be injured than before, and they need to pay more attention to their maintenance and maintenance.

The deal has not yet been officially concluded, and the Nets still need to continue their away trip. Facing last season's enemy, the 76ers, Leonard ushered in his first start after his comeback in this game, and Fernandez returned to the bench. In the last game, Braden Wright, who played well against the Wizards, appeared in the starting lineup instead of Baines.

Facts have proved that Stevens' adjustment failed somewhat. Braden Wright's advantage lies in the offensive end, and he is good at attacking the frame after the pick-and-roll. But on the defensive end, he lacks strength and is almost a cash machine. After the opening, Brand and Hawes frequently succeeded in singles inside. What's more terrible is that Wright has the same problem as Whiteside in his rookie season. He doesn't start well and his performance will get worse and worse. Facing the opportunity to attack the frame after two consecutive pick-and-rolls, Iguodala successfully cut the ball. Braden Wright seemed to have completely lost confidence on the court.

In desperation, Stevens made an adjustment in the fourth minute of the game, and Baynes replaced Wright. At this time, the score on the court was 8:15. One can imagine how bad the Nets' defense was in the opening game. .

Lopez's injury took away not only the qualified ability to protect the frame on the inside, but the damage to the Nets' offensive system was the most troublesome for Stevens, especially when Wright, who had a good offensive ability, was off the field and replaced by Bain After Adams, this change was further amplified. George and Leonard are widely favored, but they are really not players who can ignore defense and score points, at least not now. Even in this aspect, they are not as good as Monta Ellis. The same is true for West. His skills are very comprehensive, but he is really not a big inside killer who can kill opponents in the low post.

Hawes can stay in the penalty area unscrupulously to block the breakthroughs of George and Bledsoe. The defense of Iguodala and Evan Turner on the outside is also more targeted. When they choose to let the Nets break through When they reach the penalty area, it is also when they push the ball holder into a dead corner. Stevens also made the adjustment of Wester and Anderson, but soon, mistakes began to appear on the defensive end!

At halftime, the 76ers led the Nets by 14 points at 58:44.

What's more embarrassing than the score is that the Nets seem unable to balance the offensive and defensive ends of the team, which has also become a problem in Stevens' mind. Even if Camby is traded, he still cannot replace Lopez on the offensive end. How to adjust the team's offense is a problem.

The second half of the game continued. Just after the start, the Nets stepped up their pressure. On the offensive end, George and West shot more resolutely after the pick-and-roll. Once they missed the shot, Leonard and even Bledsoe Resolutely rushed for offensive rebounds, and even double-teamed after Hawes and Brand controlled the rebounds to limit their shots. This change had some effect. After a 7:2 climax, the 76ers A timeout was called in time.

After the timeout, the Nets' lineup had some hiccups. Fernandez came on the stage and replaced West.

It was said that they gave up defense and used counterattacks to deal with the current bad situation. However, when the 76ers passed the ball to Brand and was injured and hoped that he would teach Leonard a lesson, they discovered that it was not easy.

After entering the NBA, Leonard was firmly fixed at the small forward position, but don't forget that Leonard was an out-and-out swingman at position 3.4 in college. In the NCAA last season, His data is averaging 15.7 points and 10.9 rebounds per game!

He hit it twice in a row, but didn't take advantage of it. Before Brand could make any further moves, his ball was tapped by Leonard's fingertips, and the trajectory changed. Afterwards, his center of gravity was unstable and he squatted down On the ground, Leonard succeeded in stealing the ball, and then launched a counterattack. George sent a half-court long pass to assist Fernandez with a layup, and the point difference was further narrowed.

Stevens on the sidelines clenched his fist excitedly, and this tactical adjustment really paid off.

Looking at Leonard who was struggling to move forward on the field and block with Brand, Stevens was full of appreciation. There is no doubt that Leonard has become the most important player in this change of formation. ring. In this lineup, Leonard was adjusted to the power forward position. Although there is a disadvantage of insufficient height, Leonard's strength and wingspan first ensure that his interference with the opponent's inside line is still passable. Secondly, as an outside player, he has the advantages of foot movement and flexibility. Reflects.

The current Leonard still has the defect that after the pick-and-roll, it is more difficult for the defense to be small. But fortunately, the 76ers guard Holiday has average breakthrough explosive power, and his shooting is not reliable, and Turner is not good at flexibility. It is difficult for the 76ers to grasp this point and punish the Nets. To be the leader of the team, poor offense is inevitable. In the third quarter, the 76ers were obviously suppressed by the small lineup of the Nets. The 14-point advantage disappeared, and in turn fell behind the Nets by 1 point.
