Build a Dream Dynasty

Korver's performance on the offensive end allowed the Nets to suppress the Thunder and gain a 5-point lead. Pressing must not allow the Thunder's super sixth man to open up the situation on the court.

The outstanding performance of a season has made many people pay more and more attention to Harden. At the same time, they have also noticed that this prospect who has fulfilled his potential has the potential of an All-Star player. However, the slightly dismal revenue of the Thunder may really Incapable of keeping their fantastic youngsters at the same time. According to last season's financial report, when the Thunder reached the Western Conference finals, the team's profit was only 15 million US dollars. This is because Durant's contract has not been fulfilled, and Westbrook has not yet signed a new contract. The situation, in the future, they still need to renew Harden and Ibaka. The main problem in operation is reflected in the market size of the city of Oklahoma, but this is a transfer actively facilitated by team owner Bennett. So far, Bennett is still hated by Seattle fans.

The Nets resolutely adopted a double-team tactic against Harden. Harden's point was fairly timely. However, the Thunder's substitute small forward Howard hesitated for a while and lost the opportunity to make a shot. Then he adjusted again. The Nets The team's supplementary defense is in place. The ball had to be handed back to Fisher to organize. However, there was not much time left in the attack. Fisher made a shot and was blocked by Jeremy Lin, and immediately launched a fast break.

It is a metaphysics to believe that Fisher can bring experience at critical moments to the team. Facing speedy point guards, Fisher's defense is absolutely like a colander. However, Brooks just likes to use him, and Stevens is also very straightforward. Facing a top team like the Thunder, any detail in the game You have to pick it out well, not to mention such a big loophole, if you don't catch it, you will be sorry for yourself!

Jeremy Lin, who got the opportunity to perform, showed the courage to compete with Harden, so what about Harden's best sixth man? On his way to the NBA, didn't Jeremy Lin get today's praise by defeating opponents who stood in front of him one by one?

Compared with the shortcomings of the Thunder's rotation, Fernandez, Anderson and Korver on the outside of the Nets all shot more than 36% of their three-pointers this season. Bigger, even unacceptable. Jeremy Lin was beaten into two in consecutive positional battles, and the point difference between the two sides widened to 9 points. Brooks had no choice but to send Durant back on the field. At this time, the first quarter was not over yet.

Durant, who has not had enough rest, has a mediocre offensive touch, but he can indeed rely on his BT physical condition to interfere with the Nets' offense on the defensive end. As a guest power forward, he can not only cover Anderson, but also grasp the timing of Jeremy Lin. In the last defense of the first quarter, he successfully fanned Jeremy Lin's layup out of the field.

"This physical condition is so fucking suitable for basketball!" Jiang Mingliang in front of the TV also envied him, as expected of him being the only ALL IN player.

Of course, no matter what, the Nets entered the second quarter with an eight-point lead, which is a good sign.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Durant took a break, and the Thunder switched to Westbrook and Harden to lead the team's offense. Compared with Durant's hasty appearance at the end of the first quarter just now, Westbrook has been fully rested, and he is known for his physical BT. It is not a problem to play a game for 40 minutes. A strong breakthrough scored the ball, and caused Jeremy Lin to foul, and got a chance to add a penalty.

Westbrook is a nightmare for most guards who rely on their bodies to play. Most point guards with outstanding physical fitness are used to bullying others with their physical fitness, and Westbrook, apart from being relatively not so top-notch in flexibility, is almost the top match for the position of point guard in other aspects of physical fitness. With the ball in hand, he also formed an obvious suppression of Jeremy Lin.

After entering the Nets, Jeremy Lin has made great progress in defense, but it is a bit too difficult for him to deal with a point guard like Westbrook. Westbrook scored three in a row, and the point difference was narrowed to 4 points. The Stevens League made adjustments. Bledsoe and Leonard came on, replacing Anderson and Jeremy Lin.

Compared with Jeremy Lin, when dealing with Westbrook, Bledsoe's choice is more sensible. On the offensive end, apart from dribbling the ball across the half court, the rest of her is to run, cover for teammates, and involve space. Not holding the ball is consuming Westbrook's physical strength and putting all his energy on the defensive end. This method of only focusing on both ends of the offense and defense is easier to achieve results when facing players like Westbrook. After all, in a lineup of one big and four small, the Nets use Leonard at the fourth position to play against Corey. Sen's advantage is that he can always create shooting opportunities, while Brooks is a little conservative when facing the Nets lineup, neither keeping up with the choice of substitutions, nor replacing Durant, Ibaka, etc. Players who are suitable for transposition defense, the Nets regained their advantage.

In the previous life, when the Thunder team faced the Heat in the finals, they stubbornly put the pillar center Perkins on the field, but Battier of the Heat hit consecutive three-pointers with a very high shooting rate, resulting in the final 4 :1 big score. Why do you say that in the end, the deal between the Thunder and the Celtics looked like a lose-lose? The Thunder lost a Jeff Green who could contribute to this tactic, and the Celtics took it for granted against the Heat. The proud inside thickness is gone.

Brooks is good at training newcomers, and he is also good at defending and building his own system. But on the offensive end, there are obvious deficiencies in on-the-spot adjustments. This is also an important reason why he can hold on to the lower limit despite the Thunder management's various resource-wasting operations, but he can't lead the team to truly impact the championship!

Durant and George played one after another, and the two sides entered the duel of the strongest lineup. The Nets insisted on small ball tactics, and the player sitting inside was West, who was not strong in protecting the frame, which made it easier for the Thunder to score. , especially Durant and Westbrook's pick-and-roll made it difficult for the Nets to parry. Conversely, on the offensive end, the Nets also frequently took advantage of Perkins' slow movement and unstoppable characteristics to score points.

The Thunder introduced Perkins to deal with the Lakers twin towers, but in fact, the Lakers are no longer their biggest opponents on the road to the championship. It's a pity that Presti didn't realize this, and Brooks still regarded the Lakers as a scourge! Perkins increased his strength to deal with Bynum, and his flexibility was further reduced. And the big contract he renewed will inevitably become a huge burden for small ball market teams in the future.

At the end of halftime, the lead of the Nets was reduced to 4 points, and the Thunder still had the upper hand in the bayonet battle!
