Build a Dream Dynasty

Chapter 253 Opening the door black

There are several considerations for Stevens to offer this lineup that is close to stabbing each other. The main reason is the clarification of the situation on the field. The combination of Curry, Ray Allen or Fernandez is not very good for Bledsoe and Mayo. As of now, halfway through the three quarters, the two have teamed up to score 36 points. It's a bit unbearable for Stevens. Since Bledsoe can't be restrained on the defensive end for the time being, he will respond with a more violent attack on the offensive end. Putting Barnes at the power forward position instead of putting Leonard on top is due to height considerations. Leonard is closer to the size of a standard heavy small forward. Barnes' figure It is closer to three or four, and on the other hand, it also gives this year's No. 8 pick a chance. If Barnes can only serve as Leonard's substitute, then he won't get much playing time this season. If he can play the position of power forward in a small lineup, he will undoubtedly have more opportunities to perform.

Ray Allen and Korver's strong outside control was immediately effective on the court. Their running positions opened up a broad road for Curry's breakthrough. They broke into the inside to face Nowitzki. Curry made a skillful back pass. After the pick-and-roll, Yi Jian followed up with the ball and dunks in one go.

The fans at the scene also applauded this beautiful offense. The shooting was accurate, the dribble was beautiful, and the passing was flamboyant. Curry's role on the offensive end is still visible to the naked eye. Compared with the previous two seasons, the Nets today are much more gorgeous offensively. As fans, they definitely like the Suns and Kings more than the Spurs and Pistons.

Wright kicked off, Bledsoe dribbled the ball near the three-point line, saw the opportunity, and passed the ball to Nowitzki in the low post. As soon as he received the ball, German Chariot felt the attack from behind. With the force exerted by the opponent, there is no need to turn around, and Nowitzki knew that it must be Yi Jianlian. In the team training match last season, the two played against each other countless times, and they were too familiar with each other.

I saw that Nowitzki first resisted and squeezed a step inside. Then just when the volume reaches the top. Nowitzki retreated sharply, retracting his strength, and his whole body also followed the retracting force, and made a jumper backwards, which made a hit.

Yi Jianlian lost to Nowitzki again, but he did not have the slightest regret. He is well aware of the huge gap between the two, and last season's Nowitzki was a season in which his state declined relatively in his career. However, judging from the matchup in this game, the opponent's The state seems to be recovering a bit.

In the next round of offense, although Korver used an extremely sudden back run in the continuous running position to win a shot and hit a two-pointer, Nowitzki continued his steady counterattack and beat Yi Jianlian. Although he missed a hit, he successfully caused Yi Jianlian to foul and made two free throws steadily.

Bearing the notoriety of a soft egg for many years, in the summer of 2011, he broke out of the cocoon and became a butterfly, smashing all the doubts. Nowitzki's career is complete enough. After a season of dormancy, he faced the Nets , Nowitzki once again showed the performance of God of War during the finals. In the second half of the third quarter, how did he play? In half the game time, he made 6 of 6 shots, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored in a single quarter. 16 points, leading the Mavericks to widen the point difference to 14 points at the end of the third quarter.

If underestimating Curry got the Mavericks into trouble early in the second quarter, a miscalculation of Nowitzki's status led to the Mavericks crushing the Nets in the third quarter. You can't say that this small lineup is not strong enough. On the offensive end, this lineup has a good effect. At least in front of Nowitzki who is hanging out, they still retain the suspense of the game. Undoubtedly, Stevens fell into a clear disadvantage in the fight with Carlisle.

At the beginning of the last quarter, the Mavericks launched a fierce attack on the Nets while the Nets were not getting a firm foothold. Stevens was very good at the start of the fourth quarter. On the team itself, the point difference was suddenly widened to more than 20 points. After Stevens tried to replace the main force to chase points but failed, he replaced the main force with four minutes left in the game and declared defeat. In the end, the Nets defeated the Mavericks at home 111:129. Since Jiang Mingliang took over, he lost for the first time at home this season opener.

Facing his old club, Bledsoe scored 29 points in the game and defeated Curry, who scored 26 points and 7 assists in a direct matchup, although in terms of statistics, Bledsoe is not better than Curry. But anyone watching the game knows Bledsoe's suppression of Curry.

Nowitzki scored 24 points in the whole game, but his contribution is not reflected by the statistics. In the second half of the third quarter, facing the desperate lineup of the Nets, Nowitzki shot 100 points With a shooting percentage of 100, he single-handedly knocked out all the enthusiasm of the Nets.

For the Nets, except for Curry's data, only Lopez sent 17 points in the interior and played normally. The starting players including Fernandez, Leonard, and West, and Curry cooperation still needs to be strengthened.

At the press conference after the game, Stevens did not let Curry attend, but brought Lopez to control the situation.

For Curry, who is carrying hope and pressure, what is needed now is to adjust his mentality and state, not to fight wits and courage with media reporters.

Sure enough, at the press conference, reporters asked the most about the impact of George's exchange for Curry on the team.

"Coach Stevens, the result of this game is regrettable. The team's performance on the defensive end was terrible. The whole game did not find a way to deal with Bledsoe. In all fairness, the team's personnel changes in the past summer Seriously, what do you think of the impact of personnel changes on the team's defense?"

"It is a pity for the fans to lose the opening game of the new season. Various problems in the game need us to solve them in the next season. But what I want to say is that you also know that our football The team has undergone substantial personnel changes during the offseason, and our players need time and actual combat to get familiar with each other and adapt to each other. This is the objective law of basketball. We will overcome difficulties and let everyone see our transformation." Steven S responded.

Losing to the Mavericks is not an unacceptable thing for the Nets. After all, this is a strong team that has maintained more than 50 wins in the regular season from 2001 to last season, and it is still in the more competitive Western Conference. Even in the last season, after encountering a low ebb after the peak, they stubbornly squeezed into the playoffs.

However, Curry, who was introduced mainly, was suppressed by Bledsoe, who took his position and left.

Not only Curry, but also Jiang Mingliang were attacked by public opinion.
