After finishing the game against the Heat at home, the Nets started their first wave of the new season. The team went to California to compete with the Lakers, Clippers, Kings, and Warriors, the four California-affiliated teams. The first game of the Western Expedition was a direct dialogue with the difficult brothers and sisters of the Lakers. Both teams hope to win the first victory of the new season on each other.

One thing Jiang Mingliang had to admit was that the Lakers far surpassed other teams in the league in terms of handling the relationship with the media. Think about it from the trade between Curry and George to the present, almost all voices are criticizing the Nets, which makes some Nets fans who are not firm enough to follow suit, causing more people to criticize the Nets. The performance of the Lakers is far higher than that of the Nets, and the fans criticize them, but when it comes to performance, almost everyone believes that as long as the Lakers deal with the problem of tactics, they can enter the playoffs and even return to the top half. There is no problem, even if they enter the playoffs as a dog, the teams in the upper half will be unlucky! In contrast, the Nets don't have this treatment.

The visiting locker room at Staples Center was quiet.

Lopez is the captain of the team, and he stands up every now and then to see how his teammates are doing and how they are preparing.

Stevens looked at the time, there was still a little time before entering, so he stood up.

What needs to be done at this time is not to arrange tactics, that should be done before the game, nor is it to remind the players what to pay attention to and what to do, that is all done during the pre-match preparations.

In the locker room waiting for the game to start, the only thing the head coach has to do is mobilize!

"Have you heard any comments from the outside world recently?" Stevens asked lightly, without laughing or anger.

Some players nodded, some shook their heads, some nodded and shook their heads again.

"I heard it, I heard a lot," Stevens smiled slightly self-deprecatingly, "I heard the outside world ridicule the team as worthless! I didn't experience the team's 0910 season, Brook, you were on the team , maybe you know that feeling. But I think you definitely don't want to experience it again."

"Look at your performance in the previous few games. Yes, there is improvement, but not enough. There are some games we can win, but we are still a little bit worse. Why, I don't think it's luck. I think it's because of your lack of hard work. The fighting spirit of the last breath! Well, today, under the watchful eyes of fans all over the United States, show your fighting spirit and courage to resist, fight, and counter those remarks! After all, we want to be the fans The hero in my heart will still become the laughing stock of the entire United States tomorrow, the control is not in my hands, but in your own hands!"

Stevens is a coach who rarely pours chicken soup on players, but he is a coach who has come out of the NCAA after all, and the skill of "coaxing children" must be dabbled in! It seems that the effect is not bad, at least after the appearance, the players of the Nets are full of fighting spirit.

In the game jump ball, Howard won the jump ball. Kobe caught the ball in the backcourt and was pressed by Fernandez.

Whenever he competes with the Spanish team on the international stage, Fernandez always makes Kobe extremely uncomfortable. The Spaniard's not weak physical confrontation, his always passionate style of play, and his attributes of being strong when he is strong not only make Kobe appreciate it, but also give him a headache.

Kobe handed the ball to Nash, and he pulled it to the bottom corner, taking Fernandez away. As he gets older, Kobe is no longer the Peter Pan who can fight his opponents for a whole game. Besides, the team's plight also made Kobe understand that he must adjust his physical strength so that he can have enough energy when needed. Energy to deal with opponents. Therefore, it is more natural to hand the ball to Nash for handling. If it weren't for the troubles of other bosses in the league, even now Paul has become the master of the Lakers.

Nash received the ball at the top of the arc, and then signaled Howard to put up a pick-and-roll. However, at this time, Howard was still obsessed with being stuck with Lopez, and had no intention of stepping forward to cover. Nash dribbled the ball to the wing position. Stuck in the position, in order to avoid the opponent's offensive three-second violation, he had to hit the ground and pass the ball to Howard's hands.

Although the strength of the lower body is not strong enough, and the physical fitness is gradually far away from the peak period, Howard still won the wrestling with Lopez, and his first offensive touch was quite soft, and he hit a close-range hit steadily. , for the team to take the lead.

Before Howard could finish pretending to be aggressive, Lopez, who was called an offensive player, had already served the baseline ball to the halfcourt. Curry caught the ball in the halfcourt, dribbled the ball behind Nash, and saw Kobe blocked back to the penalty area in time. , One step within the three-point line is a two-pointer, and the ball hits the basket steadily. Howard scored two points in half a day, and he sent them back before he returned to his own half.

No need for Howard to serve from the bottom line, Kobe and Nash directly completed the routine tasks, and the Lakers' offense came over again. This time, Gasol put up a pick-and-roll with Nash. Nash used his skillful dribbling skills to walk around the garden in the restricted area of ​​the Nets. Although the ball was not intercepted, he did not find a shot or a pass. Come out resentfully.

Anyone who has watched Nash play in the Suns knows that even in the process of dribbling and going out, Nash's vision and passing skills can create murderous opportunities anytime and anywhere, but this type of attack requires Nash to control the ball , Nash is more needed to control the team. Does the current Lakers have active players? If you don't move, how can there be a vacancy?

Back outside the penalty area, Nash handed the ball to Kobe, who received the ball from the waist. Kobe, who was short of attack time, used his "experience" to make a foul on Fernandez. The result was not bad, but the overall offense was out of order. What tactics You can't even type it out, and it's really not worth celebrating.

Compared with the chaotic offensive system of the Lakers, the offense of the Nets highlights the four words of flowing water. The elevator door tactics are particularly effective in the face of the Lakers, whose movement is a long-standing problem. Kobe and Artest knocked over Leon Nader and Lopez closed the elevator door, caught a foul and watched Curryan hit a three-pointer.

A beautiful four-point attack boosted the morale of the Nets. In the first quarter, they made persistent efforts and once expanded the point difference to 17 points. Fortunately, the Lakers' substitute insider Clark hit 2 and 3 points in the last two minutes. Barely helped the team narrow the point difference to less than 15 points after the first quarter.

"Great job! Did you bring your binoculars to play today?" Ray Allen, who was on the bench, also gave Curry a high-five and praised fiercely.

On the surface, he is not surprised, but Ray Allen has also taken some pressure on choosing the Nets, and he very much hopes that the team will get better and better!
