Build a Dream Dynasty

Chapter 259 Continuous Suppression

The Nets ended the first quarter with a 34:27 seven-point advantage. The first quarter surprised the fans of the Nets. While Curry had the upper hand in the matchup of Paul, the league's first point guard, It also revitalized other teammates. As Curry and the team got along more smoothly, the team showed the performance that everyone expected. Jiang Mingliang's changes to the team's structure in the summer were slowly working. The Nets are playing better and better.

During the interval between games, the DJ of the Clippers' home court was not idle. Driven by him, the arena's anger has been high. After Paul joined the team and installed an engine for the lob city, the Clippers' The ball market has risen accordingly. If it weren't for the gimmick of the Lakers to form F4 to steal away the attention, I believe there will be some not so die-hard Lakers fans who will choose to turn against the water. From this perspective, the Clippers and the Nets have similar goals, and both will face the situation of competing with an established team in a city with the largest market.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the coaches of both sides continued to fight with rotation lineups. Both the Clippers and the Nets have relatively strong benches in the league, but they also represent two extremes. The Nets' bench lineup is dominated by young people. Under Stevens' training, these people, While maintaining the vitality that this age group should have, it also has considerable tactical quality. Think about the current Bledsoe who has released his brilliance in the Mavericks, and the reputation of mini James has become more and more loud, but in the Nets, he still started playing honestly and according to tactics. You know Steven Si spent a lot of energy training this group of young people.

Compared with other rookies in the same grade, Harrison Barnes was lucky. He had just entered the league, and he was lucky enough to play for a strong team and play under a coach who was good at training new players. Look at the young people trained by Stevens. George is already an All-Star player and entered the third team of the best team. Bledsoe and Whiteside can become the main force when they are released. Liggins, who seems to be the weakest, at least stays in the league. But at the same time, Barnes is also unfortunate. At the small forward position he is good at, the Nets have a Leonard who is a year older than him but has already established a firm foothold in the team and firmly holds the main position. A year ago, Barnes withdrew from the 11-year draft due to the suspension of the season when he predicted the top five picks. One year later, Leonard, who insisted on participating, has become a barrier that Barnes cannot overcome. Kaner. For Barnes, who can only play the small forward position, he can only play as a power forward when Leonard is resting, or when Stevens chooses a small lineup, to get an average of 14 minutes of playing time per game.

More than comprehensive, miscellaneous but not perfect, this is the reason why Barnes quickly gained a foothold in the Nets and was able to contribute. He has a mid-range shot, can play back, can cut air, and has a certain sight for three-pointers. Barnes It seems that eighteen kinds of martial arts can be used, but none of them can output stably. This is a kind of restriction for him. And on the court, a living negative teaching material was placed in front of Barnes. Odom was a typical example of the same outstanding talent, but in the end it was not enough to be high enough to be low.

Facing veteran Grant Hill's defense, Barnes' offense was very resolute, but the effect was relatively mediocre. After leaving Nash, Hill's offensive threat lived up to the brilliance of the Suns, but his solid defense and experience are still there. However, in turn, the Clippers' offense can only be said to be mediocre. The partner changed from Paul to Billups, and Crawford's actions became more and more aggressive, but Ray Allen, who is experienced in defense, was very targeted, which made Crawford a little uncomfortable.

"These veterans of the Clippers are really pretty good." Billups sent the baseline ball directly to Jeremy Lin's back, then caught the ball and turned around for a layup to score two points. The trick expressed his appreciation, and he was also calculating something in his heart.

With Jeremy Lin's outstanding contributions to the team on the Nets' bench, this young Chinese guard has also attracted the attention of many teams. According to Jiang Mingliang's news, the Suns, Pistons, Kings, and even the Knicks in the same city are all thinking about Jeremy Lin. If it's purely about money, Jiang Mingliang can offer Jeremy Lin a suitable contract, but he has a chance to start. . . . . . . Obviously, Jiang Mingliang couldn't give up Curry for Jeremy Lin. Although the facts are cruel, it is impossible for the Nets to recruit all young talents and lock them in the team for a long time. A player willing to serve as a backup for Curry. The experienced Billups may be a good choice.

"Aside from the impact of injuries, Hill is actually very suitable for us. He is a player who can really bring guidance to Kawhi and Harrison." West said. In his opinion, the team's two small forwards are too young, and there are many areas that need to be polished technically.

However, whether Hill, who has turned 40, is willing to continue his career is still hard to say. After all, he almost paid his life for basketball.

The main lineup returned. Taking advantage of the Nets' unstable foothold, Paul and Griffin's pick-and-roll tore apart the Nets' defense. Lopez took a step outside to defend, but was in chaos when Paul raised his hand. I know it's broken!

The city of alley-oops is not only composed of Griffin alone. In terms of the stretch of dunks, Jordan is not inferior to his teammates. Enthusiasm also narrowed the point difference to 4 points.

The Nets made a free throw, and Lopez immediately sent the ball to Curry.

Holding the ball for halftime, Curry looked at Paul who was defending him.

Paul's height is only 1.83 meters, and there is a certain gap in height between Curry, who is 1.91 meters. Because of this, when he defends Curry, he sticks very close. I am afraid that Curry will do it immediately Pull out a three-point shot.

Before playing against the Nets, Paul specifically studied Curry's technical characteristics. The three-point shot is extremely fast and extremely threatening. He is a super shooter no less than Ray Allen. However, due to his thin body, although Curry can hit the basket, the damage he can cause is lower, at least compared to his shooting feel.

After dribbling the ball twice, Curry made a sudden thrust to force Paul's body to cut in with him, blocking his breakthrough space, and then retreated sharply, widening the distance between each other, and then He made a three-pointer without hesitation.

As expected of a defensive guard, Paul's reaction was extremely fast, and he immediately caught up with the defense. Although he didn't block the shot, it interfered with Curry's line of sight.

"Frame!" The basketball didn't hit the rim, but flew high after hitting the rim, and everyone under the rim immediately huddled together, including Leonard who squeezed into the inside to look for opportunities to miss the ball. The lifted basketball fell straight into the net. . . . . .

A three-pointer was scored, and Curry began to have fun on the sideline~~~The audience, who were still excited just now, were silent now. . . . . . .
