Build a Dream Dynasty

Competitive games have their chances, but it is unrealistic for a leading team to lose to a team that is aiming to do badly. The Magic, which has completely entered the reconstruction this season, has a high probability of not being able to stop the Nets. , The only opponents that prevent the team from hitting the season's second ten-game winning streak in the season are the Pistons.

Compared with the team's weakness last season, the Pistons this season are more suitable to be described as chaos. This kind of confusion began to appear during the draft. After the team had already made a private decision with Josh Smith for life, they accidentally picked up Drummond, a potential center who was originally expected to be in the top five, in the draft. Immediately, Drummond, Josh Smith, Monroe The position arrangement of the three players has become a problem for the head coach. Rationally speaking, according to the original plan, according to the original plan, Josh Smith and Monroe will partner on the inside to properly reinforce the team's inside. In the Eastern Conference with average overall competitiveness, the Pistons have a lot to do. However, obsessed with Drummond's talent, the Pistons made a wrong decision instead, arranging Josh Smith at the small forward position he didn't want to return, and forced Drummond to make room for him. It bought the bane for the team's record this season that was not as good as expected. Although Josh Smith has a 34% three-point shooting percentage, he is not a stable outside shooting point at all. And Monroe needs the space for singles inside, and he is paired with Drummond, who doesn't have much shooting, as a partner. Both of them are uncomfortable playing. In addition, the team does not have a reliable three-pointer on the perimeter, so. . . . . .

However, although there are various problems in the idea of ​​​​building a team, the thickness of the Pistons' lineup, especially the strength of the inside line, should not be underestimated. No matter how weak this team is in other aspects, the ability to return bullets ranks first in the league, and it is definitely a difficult opponent against the Nets, which damaged Lopez on the inside.

Jiang Mingliang, who hadn't appeared at the Continental Airlines Center for a long time, finally brought Taylor Swift on the floor, and the combination of handsome men and beautiful women snatched the camera from the players before the game started. It was very embarrassing to put close-ups of the two people on the big screen frequently, which also ushered in bursts of cheers.

Compared with before, at this stage, Jiang Mingliang and Taylor Swift's popularity in the Continental Aviation Center has shown a leap forward. Since joining the Nets, 90% of Jiang Mingliang's signings and transactions can be said to be exhaustive. This season, he has unearthed the MVP-level Curry under tremendous pressure and abuse, and he has naturally become a member of the Nets. A favorite of team fans. In addition to the status of "Jiang Mingliang's girlfriend", Taylor Swift's personal career has also ushered in a take-off after the album "red". From a country music beauty to a pop queen, it is only natural that the popularity has risen. Even It can be said that because of Taylor Swift, more fans came to the Continental Airlines Center to watch the football.

Before the game, Nets fans could happily pay attention to some off-court factors and the eyeball experience brought by Jiang Mingliang and Taylor Swift. However, after the game started, the fans couldn’t enjoy it anymore. At the beginning, the Pistons showed an amazing performance. Knight, the team's main point guard, and Josh Smith at the small forward position took the lead in showing performance. Facing Curry, who is in the limelight this season, Knight showed another style of basketball. , Efficient, selfless, consecutively assisted Monroe and Drummond to score. And Josh Smith is even more crazy. In the first quarter, he seems to have combined the skills he possessed in various periods of his career. The defensive end can interfere with Curry's shooting during the defense change process, and he can grab rebounds by himself. Counter-attack advances and breaks through dunks. In positional battles, he can also hit a three-pointer steadily when facing Leonard's defense. In the first quarter, Josh Smith won in one breath. 17 points, setting a career high in a single quarter. Under his leadership, the Pistons led by 11 points with 235:24.

The Nets have a brilliant record this season, and it is impossible for all battles, large and small, to be smooth sailing. Although it is a bit surprising to be behind by 11 points, the fans still have full confidence. 11 points are just a matter of Curry's four three-pointers. Four go in, don't panic!

However, when the game came to the second quarter, the Pistons really panicked the Nets fans at home. In this quarter, it was Monroe who led the team's offense. Facing Green, who relied on defense to gain a foothold in the Nets, Monroe used his excellent offensive skills to let Green know what a traditional insider is. The changeable post-up singles technique almost made Chasing Dream Green shut up. As for the Nets, although Curry regained a little touch and hit two 3-pointers in the second quarter, he failed to drive his teammates. Drummond was a pillar on the defensive end. , The overall offense of the Nets has been significantly restricted, and they hit the iron again and again.

Not only the fans at the scene, Stevens, but also the players fighting on the field, even the commentators on NBC couldn't understand that the Nets were so crushed by the 10th-ranked Pistons. 17 points behind.

"The Nets fell into a great passive in the game. Stevens had to make adjustments in the third quarter in order to retain the hope of winning. Especially in Monroe, we must limit it!" NBC commentator very Keenly saw the trump card of the Pistons in this game. Although the power forward position is not what Monroe likes, but Drummond restrains Baynes, who has average mobility. One-on-one, Monroe is sure to play singles West, Yi Jianlian, any one of Green.

Of course adjustments must be made, but Stevens is not going to continue his tactical thinking from last season and always choose to adjust himself to adapt to his opponent. On the contrary, he hopes to grab the upper hand and force the opponent to make adjustments.

The Pistons are strong on the inside. In the absence of Lopez, the Nets will play an inside game with the opponent, and they will be at the bottom no matter what. It is a wise choice to make a fuss on the outside. In addition, Drummond's free throws have obvious shortcomings. When necessary, foul tactics can be used to disrupt the offensive rhythm of the Pistons.

Stevens made personnel adjustments at the beginning of the third quarter. Ray Allen and Korver came on the stage. The team formed Curry, Ray Allen, Korver, Leonard, and West's Jr. lineup.

"Coach Stevens made positive adjustments, and the trio with the strongest outside shooting ability in history once again attacked together. In the past games, they have saved the team from fire and water many times. I hope that in today's game, they can Turn the tide of the battle again.” After all, it is for the media in the New York area, and NBC’s commentary is still very biased towards the Nets, and it has always been from the perspective of the Nets to explain and make suggestions.
