Build a Dream Dynasty

Chapter 369 Witty Woodson

Facts have proved that the Knicks' lineup is still quite restrained by the Nets. Anthony, the team's strongest offensive point, happened to face Leonard, the strongest defender of the Nets. Although Leonard would not block Anthony, it could really bring a lot of consumption to the opponent.

In the first few minutes of the game, the Nets' offensive efficiency was very high, Stevens' tactical design was played out, and players frequently succeeded. On the Knicks side, Anthony was misfired in stages under Leonard's stalking, but Chandler continued to cooperate with Felton on offense to help the Knicks score.

Halfway through the first quarter, the Nets led by 16:11 and entered an official timeout. Back from the timeout, Ray Allen and Baynes replaced Korver, Lopez came on, and for the Knicks, JR Smith and Stoudemire also came off the bench.

Curry lobbed the ball into the interior, West made a feint, tricked Stoudemire, opened up the shot space, and West easily made a mid-range shot.

Prior to this, Brewer and Shumpert were sure that the offensive threats were mediocre, and the Nets were very resolute in defending against Anthony, which caused Anthony to play very hard and missed several shots. However, after the strongest offensive lineup is launched, the team still has a problem, that is, the offensive space is not wide enough. Although Stoudemire has a decent mid-range shot, his shot speed is too slow, and he can't shoot dead. The Nets are still resolute in defending against Anthony.

When Anthony's singles couldn't be played continuously, Bickers' offense shifted to the outside line. JR Smith stepped forward, controlled the ball and wandered at the top of the arc, trying to find opportunities to break through, and stretched his left foot several times in a row to let the defender Ray Allen's nerves have been tense all the time, Smith took a step back, and his body's center of gravity quickly raised, Ray Allen's heart tightened, and his body involuntarily took off to block the shot.

But what made him desperate was that after his body had risen into the air, JR's feet were still firmly on the floor, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. With his body pressed in front of his right hand, the ball quickly shifted to his left hand and the shot was thrown before his body lost his balance.

"Shua" "Di"

The two voices sounded at the same time, and the Knicks' bench suddenly boiled over. In the team's disadvantaged situation, JR Smith actually played such a beautiful 3+1, and the team's momentum naturally rose.

Smith easily scored the ball and narrowed the point difference to 18:15

JR is not nervous, and he is an All-Star every year. This is not a joke. For a player like him, once he buys a Jordan experience card, it is difficult for anyone in the league to be able to defend, shoot suddenly and show off.

JR activated the Jordan experience card, while Curry directly activated the day-to-day mode. Curry faced JR with the ball, his body paused slightly, the next moment his body was lowered, and he was about to break through from the right side while holding the ball. Pulling back, the distance between JR and JR in an instant with a step back, against the big hand of JR Smith, he sent the ball into the basket.

"Three-point hit!"

"Good job!"

The players on the Nets bench all jumped up and cheered for Curry loudly.

This kind of three-pointer has appeared countless times at the Continental Airlines Center, but every time it is seen on the spot, it is very exciting. Curry also used his performance to prove that he used the three-pointer as his main offensive method. It was definitely not a trick, but a real talent.

The starting point of the Knicks' offense is still Anthony. This time, he caused Leonard's foul and made two free throws.

Offensive and defensive transition, Curry came again.

The same position, the same angle, Curry once again used a step-back jumper.

But this time Curry's shot missed, the basketball bounced high on the rim, and then Leonard took it down, and then made a tip-up to score. Anthony and Stoudemire had obvious problems with rebounding, leading to dropped points.

It was the Knicks' turn to attack. This time, the ball was handed over to Stoudemire. Stoudemire chose to strengthen West on the inside. Stoudemire used to be the first player in the history of attacking above the power forward position. In the playoffs, Duncan scored an average of 38 points per game. It happened nine years ago. Major and minor injuries have taken away Stoudemire's explosive power. Now he has a bad contract comparable to Marbury. He missed a forced layup and the Nets grabbed it. The rebound was once again handed over to Curry to promote the transitional offense.

This time, when his teammates ran out of opportunities, Curry did not choose to be greedy for offense. After attracting the defense, he sent a back pass. Leonard made an easy mid-range shot from the free throw line, helping the team to open up some points and also Forcing the Knicks to call a timeout.

Jiang Mingliang was extremely happy to see the team's violent derby opponent in front of the TV. It is quite necessary for the future operation of the Nets. After all, the two teams need to compete for the market in the future.

Although the score was behind, Woodson also chose to replace the team's starters including Felton, Anthony, and Chandler. The offensive end was mainly dominated by JR and Stoudemire. The reason why Woodson dared to do this was mainly because of the suspension of Fernandez and Green in the Nets, which greatly weakened the strength of the Nets' proud bench.

Sure enough, in the matchup of bench players, the Knicks gradually took some advantages. Fieldzl and JR's back line was full of vitality, which made their defense put Reggie Jackson in trouble. Barnes, who played well, also fell into confusion in this game. He failed to make three open shots in a row, which greatly affected the team's offense. The Knicks revolved around Stoudemire and slowly opened up the situation on the offensive end.

The situation took a turn for the worse, but Stevens still chose to keep Barnes on the court. The transformation of young players must come from mistakes and failures. As the head coach, he needs to take on the task of protecting his mentality, otherwise, even if he succeeds in becoming a suitable wing player in the future, he will only be a softie.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the two sides were still facing off against the bench lineup. Stevens used Grant Hill to replace Jackson as a guest guard, and used his performance on the court to teach Barnes. Ernes learns ball selection and technique on the spot.

This is an important reason why Jiang Mingliang chose some price to exchange Hill from the Clippers. The team really needs some veterans to hold the lineup.

For Grant Hill, he also needs the team to help him develop a new position. The Nets are very hopeful to compete for the championship this season. Hill hopes to enter the team's playoff list, experience the taste of the championship in person, and then wear the championship ring. If he develops one more position and shows some abilities, his chances will be much greater.
