Build a Dream Dynasty

In addition to the impact of the opponent's injury, toughness and tenacity are the main reasons why the 76ers were able to counterattack the Bulls and complete the black eight. Facing the Nets at home, even if the lineup and the scene are suppressed, the 76ers still rely on their own defense. Relying on Iguodala, Lu Wei's sudden foul with a dynamite bag clings to the point difference. Do not allow the gap to widen further.

"They are playing with their lives." Jiang Mingliang couldn't help but said to West beside him when he saw Iguodala was bumped several times in a breakthrough and finally sat on the ground.

"I like the player Iguodala very much. His physical talent is good enough, and he works hard enough on both ends of the offense and defense. The key is that he can really defend." West looked at Iguodala's performance and slowly It’s appreciation. To make an inappropriate analogy, Iguodala’s role on both ends of the offense and defense this season is a bit like a weakened version of Garnett on the perimeter. With different teammates, let them do what they are good at. All to yourself.

"But as the boss, at most he is qualified." Jiang Mingliang can't say that he doesn't like Iguodala, but with George and Leonard, he does have the confidence to ignore the threats of some people, and in the future It will become more and more confident.

In terms of Jiang Mingliang's personal preferences, he also prefers the perimeter with a greater threat of three-pointers, such as Klay Thompson of the Jazz, JR Smith of the Knicks and so on. . . . . . . It's not about strength, it's just his preferred style.

At halftime, the score was 47:43, and the Nets led by 4 points.

Sixers coach Collins was already thinking about how to turn the game around in the second half. As a coach, he knew that in the second quarter, the 76ers got a little bit of whistle-blowing benefits brought about by home court advantage. Iguodala and Lu Wei have made a few fouls that are in the category of bragging or not bragging. The referee has given face, but this does not mean that the quota will not be used up. But as Collins himself, he has to admit that the follow-up cards in his hand are not as rich as Stevens. From this point of view, he must be more careful in his moves.

There is no doubt that the advantage of the Nets lies in the strength of the team's inside wing players on the defensive end. George and Leonard are out-and-out defensive champions. Fernandez is a nerve knife on the offensive end, but he has both The confrontation of NBA players and the cunning of European players, having these three players at the same time, has strengthened the flexibility and extensibility of the Nets' defensive end, but these three players are actually more difficult to handle on the offensive end. Not to mention Fernandez, if the touch comes, he is considered a half-All-Star, but if the touch is gone, he is still at the level of a dog. George's breakthrough with the ball is inconsistent, and he is more accustomed to catching and shooting to punish opponents. As for Leonard, he can only attack in positional warfare, except for fixed-point shooting. Firstly, Stevens’ on-the-spot command has a considerable level, adjusting the team’s offensive focus according to different defensive strategies, and secondly, there are relatively few targeted defenses in the regular season , and the Nets' opponent in the first round was the Magic, which was naturally restrained by them. To use the analogy of a character in a martial arts novel, the current Nets are more or less like an enhanced version of Murong Fu, lacking killer moves or stunts.

In the second half of the game, the 76ers adjusted the lineup on the field. Stevens unexpectedly discovered that the 76ers had three insiders on the field, Hawes, Brand, Thaddeus Young, and the partner guard It is Holiday and Iguodala.

When Thaddeus Young entered the league, he was indeed a good striker, but after several years of tempering, his style of play is obviously towards the 4th position. In such an important playoff game Returning to the third position in the middle, this operation is a little bold.

One of the weak points of the Nets is the inside line. On the offensive end, only West has the ability to play singles. On the offensive end, Baynes can only talk about the starting tactical role, and Wright can only eat cakes. Conversely, can West, who mainly focuses on the offensive end, take care of the defensive end so easily? This calls for a big question mark.

Of course, the inside play against the Nets is not just to send three insiders regardless of this. Positioning and collocation are still very important. Hawes, who has high shooting ability and coping ability, pulls to the high position from the top of the arc to the free throw line, and pulls Baynes, who has the best defensive awareness and the thickest body in the Nets, out of the penalty area, and Thaddeus Yang flanks the frame Facing Leonard with the ball, you can choose to use the space to play singles, or you can give the ball to Brand who is holding West in the low post. And Iguodala and Holiday were all pulled to the weak side to make room.

Collins' formation soon received a miraculous effect. At the beginning of the second half, the 76ers had the upper hand on the scene. Thaddeus Young, who had high hopes, used his performance to play the role of the surprise soldier, and also repaid the head coach's support. trust. On the basis of gaining a certain advantage in the interior, the 76ers' exterior also began to contribute fire support. Iguodala and Holiday hit three-pointers respectively, helping the 76ers to overtake the score. And Iguodala's contribution is not limited to this. When the Nets boss George tried to use his personal offense to stabilize the mood of the team, Iguodala successfully cut the ball from him, and then launched a fast break, using A 3-on-2 opportunity in the frontcourt, a successful dunk, dealt a heavy blow to the Nets' morale.

Stevens quickly called a timeout and made substitution adjustments. On the offensive end, Jeremy Lin, who is better at mobilizing opponents, replaced Bledsoe, who had less defensive pressure during this time period, and Fernandez, who replaced Baynes, who was a bit physically exhausted.

With small and big, Stevens' idea at this time is to attack. I am powerless to stop you at height, but you also cannot interfere with me in terms of mobility and range. Stab each other and see who has more blood.

Even with Lopez, the Nets are a team that attaches great importance to defensive rotation, so when it comes to misplaced defense, the Nets should still have a certain advantage. However, Stevens somewhat underestimated the performance of Iguodala and Thaddeus Young on the defensive end. Hawes and Brand are responsible for the offense and defense in the penalty area. It pinched the Nets' outside offense and forced the Nets to make relatively unreasonable offensive choices. During this period of time, the 76ers obviously suppressed the Nets, and the point difference between the two sides is slowly widening .

For the 76ers, in the case of stealing an away game, the second game can be appropriately reserved, but when returning to the home court, they must seize the opportunity to defend the two home games and establish the final advantage.

Korver's debut helped the Nets narrow the point difference to 9 points in the last two minutes of the third quarter. However, the 76ers are very good, and Stevens has to work hard!
