Build a Dream Dynasty

Chapter 495 Unsheathing the Demon Sword

Among the strong teams in the West, the Spurs are relatively less taboo opponents of the Nets. From the perspective of the lineup, the Nets will not suffer from the Spurs in almost every position. Even in the bench lineup, they are not inferior to the Spurs. The Spurs are also known for their large number of players. As a coach, Popovich is of course top-notch, but that is an assessment of comprehensive ability. In terms of on-the-spot command, Popovich can also be said to be top-notch, but whether he is top-notch may still be a question mark. At least if you let Stevens choose, he thinks that Carlisle of the Mavericks should be better than Popovich in this one.

Jiang Mingliang did a better job than Popovich in building the team, and provided Stevens with sufficient manpower to deploy troops. Stevens is no less inferior to Popovich in arranging troops and responding on the spot. Qi, coupled with the superstar Curry, makes the Nets have a certain advantage in all aspects of configuration. The team hid the two main players including Lopez and Leonard in the previous game, and their intentions were also directed at Duncan on the inside of the Spurs and Parsons and Butler on the flanks.

In the starting lineup, the Spurs made some adjustments to the Nets. Diaw replaced Splitter as the team's starting insider. Diaw, who has strong offensive ability and stronger organizational ability, can usually improve the offensive environment of the Spurs after coming off the bench, and he will not feel too much discomfort when he is pulled up to start the game. However, Duncan must bear more on the defensive end. Already working. As he grows older, Duncan's body declines irreversibly. Now whether he can support the team's defense alone now needs to be marked with a greeting.

Duncan won the jump ball, the game started, Parsons caught the ball and passed it to Parker, and then the perimeter pulled away, and Duncan set a screen outside the three-point line to block Curry.

Parker dribbled the ball on the right side, and it was Lopez who was making up the defense. He deftly turned to the left and completely got rid of the defense. Lopez did not adjust his center of gravity. like a cat. With no one to help the defense, Parker scored a layup to give the team the lead.

The Nets attacked, Parker followed Curry on the right baseline, Butler faced Fernandez, Parsons defended Leonard, man-to-man. Leonard, who took a round of rest, was very active in the low post. After receiving the ball from Curry, he used his own strength to push past Parsons' defense and hit a short-range shot to tie the score.

Among the skinny small forwards, Parsons is already considered strong, but he is much taller than Leonard, and he is more than 10kg lighter than Leonard. How can this tonnage gap be topped? Can live.

Butler held the ball and played a pick-and-roll with Dior. West switched defenses to block the breakthrough route in time. The ball was returned to Dior, and Dior took the ball to respond. Duncan then walked into the penalty area against Leonard. Leonard blocked the defense and Parsons passed the ball. However, Leonard, who is extremely strong and has a very stable foot, refused to let Duncan go in. In the three-second zone, Duncan made a hook with Leonard.

In the Nets' positional battle, Leonard and Fairwest opened up on the right side.

Curry dribbled the ball to Fernandez after half court and ran to the left corner. Fernandez faced Butler and protected the basketball. Curry ran back on the left and got rid of Parker with Lopez's screen. The ball is shot three-pointer.

Without interference, Duncan's defense was a bit slow, and Curry, who had a comfortable shooting environment, made a steady hit.

This season, the advantage of lineup thickness is not obvious, West and Fernandez have ups and downs due to contract issues, and Lopez is completely protected as a giant panda. Curry and Leonard have officially taken over. The team, especially Leonard, has improved both offensively and defensively. Of course, when it comes to this, Jiang Mingliang's vision has to be praised again. Perhaps in the summer of 2014 Leonard will get the team's five-year 80 million maximum salary contract.

In fact, although Jiang Mingliang paid more attention to the salaries of other players, but for the core players, he never talked nonsense and gave them a maximum salary. For Curry, it is the heart, and for Leonard, it is business.

Duncan singled Lopez inside, Fernandez decisively double-teamed, Duncan forced a shot and missed under the interference of the two, Lopez took off for the second time and clicked the ball out, Leonard grabbed the backcourt rebound and turned to the frontcourt Fortunately, the ball was given to Curry outside the three-point line on the right. Curry made an emergency stop to face Butler and rushed to shoot a three-pointer. The ball jumped out of the frame, but it also shocked Popovich in a cold sweat.

Curry's ability to catch this kind of chasing three-pointer is very strong, and he has to pay a price for him to find this kind of shooting opportunity.

Relying on the offensive performance of Parker, Diaw and others, coupled with the bad luck of the Nets in this game and the average shooting feel, the Spurs were not opened up by the Nets in the first half of the quarter. After the debut of the sixth man Ginobili, the game began to tilt like the Spurs. When the Argentine was in good shape, he had the title of "20 Minute Jordan". It was still the same sentence, only the wrong name was called, and there was no wrong nickname. The Nets had a solid experience of the Argentine today. With a ghostly style of play, his breakthrough is like a ball of cotton wool, leaving the defender nowhere to attack. It is rare to block him, and he succeeds again.

It is said that Harden is the mayor of JDZ, and Kevin Martin is the former porcelain king. But if you want to say that the benchmark figures who made Harden go further and further on the road of "touching porcelain", Ginobili and Wade cannot escape. Varejao is recognized as the actor, but his acting skills under the big scenes are far worse than Ginobili's. Of course, this is also different from the big scenes that Varejao has experienced. language related.

In half a quarter of the game, with 7 points and 3 assists, Ginobili drove the Spurs' offense and helped the Spurs lead by 6 points at 33:27 in the first quarter.

After Jeremy Lin left, Reggie Jackson was the backup point guard for the Nets. Relying on his good physical fitness, Reggie Jackson's performance was not bad, and he was worthy, otherwise it would be impossible to have the capital to compete with the team. noisy. However, after Reggie Jackson left, McCollum, who had some hopes held by Jiang Mingliang, was obviously not suitable for the position of backup point guard. In the second position, he was obviously not used to the role of Curry as a substitute, so that four minutes into the second quarter, Stevens chose to replace him with Seth Curry.

This is not good news for McCollum, who needs playing time to improve.

Veteran Prigioni is not necessarily unusable, but against opponents like the Spurs, offense is slightly more important than field control. Although Seth Curry is an all-round weakened Curry, he really has some shadows of his father and brother when it comes to shooting. His weakness is entirely because his nutrition was taken away by Stephen, which caused him to be physically weak.

However, the point guard's defense is not good, and it may be the position with the least impact on the court. Thomas Jr.'s defensive data is worse than Seth Curry, isn't it still clearly covered by Stevens?
