Build a Dream Dynasty

Chapter 338 Highland Away Game

The Nets went smoothly and won consecutive battles, but their old rivals, the Heat, encountered obvious difficulties. With four consecutive visitors from the Northwest, the Heat ended with a dismal record of 1 win and 3 losses. The Nuggets, Jazz and last year's Finals opponent, the Thunder, sniped the Heat one after another, which also made the Nets' number one position in the Eastern Conference more secure. . The Northwest has always been a bitter cold place for the Heat. The Jazz are the team that is least afraid of James in the league. James has only won two games in Salt Lake City so far in his career. The Thunder are one of the few teams in the league capable of confronting the Heat head-on. And the Nuggets' crowd tactics are really terrifying to most opponents.

The widening of the records of the two sides also helped Curry overtake James again on the MVP list and occupy the first place. This point guard, who was regarded as Jiang Mingliang's trick at the beginning of the season, has turned into one of the greatest deals in history. Curry improved not only the performance of the Nets, but also the appreciation of the entire team and the temperament of the entire team. In the past, the Nets relied more on Stevens' skillful skills when entering hand-to-hand combat, relying on the entire team to deal with opponents as a whole, but now, the opponents are targeting the Nets and Curry. Let's arrange the tactics and let Stevens see the tricks.

If the arduous reconstruction completed before is to increase the score of a test paper from 50 points to 80 points, then the achievement of trading to Curry is approximately equivalent to raising the score from 80 points to 95 points. The remaining 5 points are only to be tested in the playoffs.

. . . . . .

The Nets' steadily improving record and good prospects visible to the naked eye, as well as the huge bonus brought about by the upcoming relocation to New York, give the team a broader space for commercial development. Whether it is Yokohama Tire or NBC TV, they all benefit from the contract signed in advance with the Nets, which also makes more and more advertisers focus on the Nets next season. The main sponsor of the team next season is Yokohama Tire, and the price of the 16 fixed advertising spaces in the Barclays Center is 3.5 million US dollars. The publicity of the position and the authority to upgrade to the team's secondary sponsor. As soon as the investment promotion was launched, it was enthusiastically sought after. The United States' Aon Insurance (AON) took the lead in becoming the team's secondary sponsor with a 2-year contract of 10 million US dollars. In fact, if the contract signed by the Nets and Yokohama Tire was not for a long time, Yi'an Insurance would have directly upgraded to the main sponsor of the team at a higher price. Chevrolet, Singamas Beer, DHL Logistics, Kansai Paint, and Epson have successively signed billboards with the team for next season's Barclays Center, and some advertisers from China are still negotiating with the team about the number of years. Negotiations are not difficult to understand. After all, the Nets' appearance rate in China is not only determined by their performance, but also affected by Yi Jianlian's stay. The Nets and Yi Jianlian renewed their contract for one year. The appearance rate on CCTV It can be guaranteed that China's advertisers are willing to spend money, and if Yi Jianlian leaves, who can guarantee that the popularity of the Nets will remain the same as it is now?

. . . . . .

The Heat ended their trip to the Northwest, and the Nets followed suit with a back-to-back schedule in the Northwest. Two consecutive plateau games against the Nuggets and the Jazz are obviously quite terrifying schedules. After an internal meeting of the coaching staff, it was unanimously decided that West and Ray Allen, two veterans, will take turns to rest in the game against the Nuggets , The team tried their best to save energy and face the Jazz.

If it weren't for the fear of eating too ugly, Stevens even planned to take a rotation with Curry!

Of course, rest does not mean surrender. The strength of the Nets' lineup is relatively balanced. Maybe the young people in the team can also bring some surprises to the fans.

People who live on the plains will feel uncomfortable when they go to activities at altitudes exceeding 1,500 meters. The average altitude of Denver is about 1,610 meters. In addition, the geographical location is indeed a bit biased, especially for the Eastern teams. The impact, coupled with altitude sickness, can imagine the impact on the player's state.

Although the Nets rotated veterans as much as possible in this game, the phenomenon of altitude sickness happened to both young players and veterans. In the Nets team, Curry was the one who was least disturbed by this phenomenon. When the whole team was restrained by the Nuggets, Curry became the savior of the Nets. In the first quarter of the game, Curry hit Four three-pointers, 5 of 8 shots, and 14 points, helped the team barely keep up with the fast-paced offense of the Nuggets. A shooter like him is really the natural nemesis of a team like the Nuggets.

The Nets and Nuggets are the two teams with the strongest bench strength in the league, but the gap between the two is still very obvious. The Nets can only say that most of the players in the bench lineup can fill the position of the starters and will not pull the hips, while the Nuggets' bench lineup includes Andre Miller, Jordan Hamilton, Wilson Chandler, Mozgov , McGee, as a starter, he can even hit the playoffs in the Eastern Conference.

The absolute advantage in physical confrontation, plus the fact that the referees are more biased towards the home team in terms of whistle-blowing scale, Yi Jianlian and Green still failed to withstand the impact of McGee, Faried's impact, and when the rotation lineup was matched, the Nets were still Obviously at a disadvantage. The devil's home field is indeed well-deserved. At the end of halftime, the Nets trailed by 11 points, which was a bit of an embarrassment.

The Nets have a gorgeous style of play and a brilliant record this season, but most people think of them just like the Bulls did two years ago. They think they can make waves in the regular season, but it is difficult to absolutely fail in the playoffs James this mountain, what is the reason? One is because the team did not prove itself in the playoffs, and the other is that the team lacks some famous victories. Applying a comparison in football, Chelsea and Manchester City have successively shown themselves as local tyrants, but Chelsea has become a force that cannot be ignored in European football since Mourinho took over in 2004, while Manchester City has not yet been defeated by Barcelona. , Real Madrid, Bayern take it seriously, why? One is the lack of Champions League champions, and the lack of confidence in speaking, and two, the team lacks epic battles to attract fans. Think about how many years Liverpool, which has been down and down before, has won so many fans by relying on the miracle of Istanbul, and how many years it has counted AC Milan. The devil's home court can be regarded as a good story.

For this point, Curry does not intend to admit defeat. Although he knows that the team is willing to let go of this game strategically, as a player, he hopes to use the game to reduce others' doubts about the Nets. He also has confidence , the teammates will overcome the difficulties of the away game on the plateau and win this game together!
