Build a Dream Dynasty

After two consecutive away trips from the Northwest, the Nets returned to the home court, facing the Wizards who defeated themselves early in the season.

This season has been another disappointing year for the Wizards. The lineup formed by the team, Wall, Beal, Ariza, Nene, and Okafor's lineup is not weak even in the East, even if you look at the entire league, but the team was able to maintain the Eastern Conference at the beginning of the season. After the ranks of the playoffs, the results after that plummeted. No one can win the ball. It's either you or him. The most important point is that the team is not good at playing key shots. In the 35 games lost this season, more than In 19 games, the Wizards lost less than 8 points, and more than 11 games lost no more than 5 points. They were repeatedly killed by the opponent at critical moments, which also reflected the disadvantages of this team's lack of offensive ability at critical moments. For the Wizards, what makes them even more regrettable is that the team could obviously trade Bill to Harden during the offseason, but because Wall and Harden's style of play did not seem to match, they finally missed it. This season, he played an MVP-level performance. With Bynum missing a game due to injury, he single-handedly led the team into the top eight. Now, if you take Wall and Bill, you may not be able to make it from The Wizards traded for Harden.

Since Lopez has decided to cultivate until after the All-Star Game, Baynes and Yi Jianlian will divide most of the playing time at the center position of the Nets. In view of the fact that the Wizards are relatively thick inside, Steven Baines arranged for Baines to be the main player, with poor jumping and short arms, Baines lost the jump ball without accident. For Baynes, this skill is a bit too embarrassing for him.

When Wall dribbled the ball to the Nets' three-point line, the Nets' defense was already in place. Wall has no intention of slowing down at all. The body swayed from side to side, and then turned back and broke through Curry's defense. West, who was defending behind him, was also dribbled by Wall's low hand. However, Wall's dribble was indeed beautiful, but But he didn't grasp the hand shape for the layup. The center of gravity was too erratic, which caused Wall's final shot to be very unstable, and he missed the shot.

"Boom!" Wall's shot missed, but Nene took advantage of the Nets' emptiness inside and successfully blocked the position. He grabbed the dunk before West and scored the first goal for the team.

Curry dribbled the ball quickly across the half court, and Wall immediately forced him up.

In this game, Whitman also hesitated for a long time on who to use to defend Curry, and finally decided to use Wall, who is full of fighting spirits against top point guards, to defend and let Wall face the best ball possession As a defender, it will be easier for him to find his own gap in the future, so that he will improve.

Fighting with Wall, only Deron and Westbrook among the point guards have this confidence. Curry did not hold the mud and compete with the opponent like he did against Irving. Instead, he accurately detected West's position inside after a pick-and-roll, sent a pass, and helped the opponent score easily.

The Wizards have a poor record this season, and Wall, as the boss, cannot absolve himself of the blame. At least in Jiang Mingliang's view, the boss of a team has no three-pointers at all, which is too restrictive for the development of the team's tactical thinking. Except for not shooting, Wall is really a good point guard seedling, but in this era, shooting is absolutely necessary for a point guard.

After half a season of adapting to the NBA, Bill has a deeper understanding of NBA-level confrontation, dexterously past Fernandez's defense, Bill found the shooting space, and made a steady mid-range hit.

For Bill, it is undoubtedly a lucky thing to be selected by the Wizards and cultivated. However, in the early days, there were obviously many troublesome things. For example, the winning culture of an excellent team, and for example, playing with your brain.

The Nets are still playing with Curry's huge restraint. Curry has reduced some personal offenses, but his teammates have benefited from it. The statistics are more obvious for Leonard. Facing the fast break of the Nets, Wall would rather watch Leonard complete the dunk in a daze, but also block Curry who was ambushing on the outside. At the end of the first quarter, the Nets ended with a 28:22 lead by 6 points.

In the second quarter of the game, Whitman adjusted his substitution strategy, allowing Wall to stay on the court and continue to attack the Nets' defense. Stevens, on the other hand, followed the normal substitution plan for the next step.

There's no shame in not beating Curry. But when Reggie Jackson couldn't play an advantage, he was a little bit embarrassed.

In fact, when it comes to defense alone, Reggie Jackson is slightly better than Curry, especially against Wall, who is more dependent on physical fitness. Whitman's operation obviously made some mistakes.

Although Wally made a sudden pass, performed well, and recovered part of it, but how can he return to the court full of blood after Curry scored 16 points in a row. The Wizards' backup point guard, Canaan, is basically difficult to match up with Curry.

In terms of team strength, the Wizards are indeed not as good as the Nets, but Whitman does have problems in operation, which is also extremely obvious. Facing Kanan, Curry hit consecutive three-pointers and opened the score in one fell swoop.

Counting the days, Curry also had a few days before halftime to score 20 points. In this game, Curry once again completed this small goal that is not difficult to achieve, and also helped the team lead by 16 points into the third quarter.

Sometimes, when your state comes, many records will appear one by one naturally, such as the three-quarter check-in that has not appeared at the Nets' home court for a long time. In this game, Curry enjoyed this treatment again, but the difference is that in the past, Curry was more or less passive, but at this stage, Curry no longer has such a high pursuit of data. His pace is basically consistent with the team's ultimate goal, which is to truly become a championship challenger in the playoffs, not another Bulls.

In the fourth quarter of the game, the combination of Wall and Bill can be said to be daring to fight. For the two young people, the increase in statistics means a lot, but fortunately, Reggie Jackson and Grant Hill helped the team hold 21 points. The team finally ended the game with a 104:93 lead of 11 points. It is a good result.

The scene of the Nets has improved significantly, and in turn, the Heat have also started the process of consecutive victories. After the trip to the Northwest, the lethality of the Heat has steadily increased, which means that the Nets have performed well recently. , otherwise, the Heat should be the number one player in the Eastern Conference right now.

As Jiang Mingliang, of course he knew that the Heat's 27-game winning streak, the second in league history, was about to start. For the Nets, they also needed to kill the opponent at the right time, so he made an investigation.

Whether it can reach 27 consecutive victories, we have to ask whether the Nets agree or not.
