Build a Dream Dynasty

Even if it is Dolan, it is not easy to give the team a winning order at this stage. Anyone with a discerning eye can see the gap between the Knicks and the Nets. It's not that the Knicks are too bad, it's that the Nets are too strong. But after a successful offseason, Dolan is less desperate against the Nets than he was last season. If Garnett and Terry can return to a better state, the Knicks still have some cards.

After Kidd left, Felton returned to the familiar No. 1 position. Woodson fixed Shumpert, who had excellent physical fitness and more reliable defensive end, in the starting position. In terms of thinking, this was a successful decision. . Anthony, who won the first scoring title in his career at the power forward position last season, lost weight this season and returned to the small forward position. With Garnett and Chandler in the interior, Anthony's defensive problems can be better covered. And Garnett's iron-blooded jumper can also open up space for Anthony and Chandler. From this perspective, it must be more adaptable than Stoudemire.

The Nets' starting lineup continued to use the same set from last season. Although West has declined, it is not impossible to play. It is easy to have problems if he is removed rashly.

Chandler won the jump ball for the Knicks, Felton dribbled the ball halfway, and then veteran Garnett pulled the ball beyond the three-point line to ask Felton for the ball. This somewhat psychedelic operation made people Some didn't understand, but Felton still passed the ball. After receiving the ball, Anthony in the corner immediately faced Leonard's request in the low post. Garnett passed the ball steadily and ran to the top of the arc. Felton made an off-ball screen to block Curry, Felton took advantage of the opportunity to rotate to the wing, and Garnett took advantage of the opportunity to run from the top of the arc to the other side, and the Knicks' offense was formed immediately In many advantageous rounds, Anthony followed up with Felton and made a fake hand-off pass, then suddenly turned around and made a jumper. The basketball drew a beautiful arc and fell steadily into the basket.

The Nets' offense still revolved around Curry. Facing Felton's defense, Curry and West's pick-and-roll easily tore apart the Knicks' perimeter defense. Curry swayed away with a fake move, facing Chandler who was defending in the pit, an easy high throw hit the board, making the opponent helpless. Curry's chic scoring was understated, but it made the Knicks helpless.

Ten years ago, Garnett, whose defensive range expanded to half court and whose mobility was no less than that of an ordinary guard, might be the most suitable inside player to defend Curry. Go, Peach Blossom still laughs at the Spring Breeze". Of course, Garnett is not bad, at least let Curry do a feint. Switching to Stoudemire, it was easier for Curry to score.

Although the Knicks' offense still revolves around Anthony, compared with last season's brainless singles, there are indeed many changes. No one thought that when Garnett came to the Knicks, the first thing that improved was not the team's defense. It's the team's offense. Of course, another possibility is that it has actually improved, but facing an opponent like the Nets, it can't be reflected on the scene. After all, the Nets are definitely a model of offense stronger than defense in essence. Apart from the Thunder, how can other teams in the league have the capital to attack the Nets? Not only can Curry do whatever he wants, but he also does a good job of activating his teammates. In the first half of the game, the two sides came and went, and the game was really exciting.

However, after Garnett was constrained by his physical strength and was replaced in the seventh minute of the game, the situation began to tilt towards the Nets. The appearance of Green, Ray Allen, and Yi Jianlian made the Nets' formation on the field more stretched. Immediately, the Nets' offense showed a trend of full bloom.

In terms of perception, it may make people think that Garnett's end has made the Nets' offense unshackled, but anyone who understands the ball can see that, fundamentally speaking, this lineup is the concept of "space". Played to the extreme. Whether it's Green holding the ball at the free throw line or Curry holding the ball directly, other people run without the ball, and the threat is very great. The Knicks' defense is a bit overwhelmed.

Fortunately, the Knicks have two best sixth men on the bench this season, Terry and JR. After the two came on the field, the pressure on Anthony's offensive end was greatly reduced, especially JR, in the same city derby. There are always good performances in China, and today is no exception. With five seconds left on the offensive end, he took over the throwing ball from Taylor, made a feigned change of direction breakthrough, followed by a back turn, and passed Leonard, who was defending the defense like mercury, and faced Yi Jianlian with an interval. The dunk completed the top five dunks in the opening game, and at the same time knocked Yi Jianlian to the ground with arrogance.

Although it is a thorn, but in terms of ability, he can bear the praise of "JR is not nervous, and he is an All-Star every year".

It's just that, instead of comparing with the Nets, whether the Knicks can make a difference this season depends not on offense, but on whether they can continue to be tough on the defensive end. The Nets are obviously not a suitable touchstone, because their offense is too strong. To test whether a junior high school student's proposition composition level can pass, it is really unnecessary to take the college entrance examination composition "Ladders are not required, please put them horizontally".

At the end of the first quarter, the Nets led by 3 points at 35:32, and the scene was indeed quite exciting. In fact, Jiang Mingliang was quite grateful to the alliance for the opening match. There are gimmicks, strength, open style of play, and many weaknesses. If weaker opponents like the Timberwolves and Magic were deployed, or teams like the Heat and Pacers who value defense, the game would definitely not be so good.

The game came to the second quarter. In the matchup of the bench lineup, the Nets began to have an advantage. Reggie Jackson seems to have practiced hard during the offseason. He has grown stronger and his footsteps seem to be more flexible. Facing the defense of veteran Terry, his domineering breakthrough directly opened up the breakthrough space, making a one-handed Kenyon Martin was swayed by the throwing fake, and then followed by a fake turning back to look at the moon and handed the ball to Barnes who was cutting from the baseline. The North Carolina Blackhawks took advantage of the opportunity to dunk and easily completed their first dunk of the new season. .

Turning around, JR also fought back against the Nets without giving an inch. In a series of gorgeous dribbles, he turned his back twice to shake the angle, and came to the bottom corner to turn over and hit a jumper.

Two minutes before the second quarter, the Nets widened the point difference to 7 points. At this time, Garnett, who had rested for most of the quarter, returned to the battle. As soon as he played, he interfered with Green's shooting in a defense and Steadily grabbing the rebound, the veteran didn't hand over the ball at the first moment, but chose to dribble forward.

A little bit unexpected, after all, Garnett is not the Garnett ten years ago, but when Reggie Jackson stepped forward to press, Garnett made a long pass to the frontcourt, and Terry had already moved to the frontcourt, With a feint, Ray Allen, who was flying over, was pointed past, and then he raised his hand and made a steady three-pointer.
