Build a Dream Dynasty

Chapter 504 Predicament

After a morning exercise with Liu Lingfei, Jiang Mingliang came to the office refreshed and continued to deal with matters in hand.

As the season progresses, each team is also trying to make deals based on their own situations to strengthen their own weaknesses. The Wizards, the opponent of the Nets in the next game, completed a deal earlier. The Wizards made a deal with the Suns. The main center Okafor was exchanged for the Suns' Gortat and Shannon. Brown and Kendall-Marshall. From the perspective of player strength, the Wizards have obviously strengthened. Gortat is no less effective than the opponent when his salary is only half of Okafor. It can be regarded as an out-and-out high-quality contract, and Shannon Brown also has A certain impact, he is a good bench player, but he was given a high salary in the Suns and used him as the main force. His ability to support this role is disappointing. The purpose of the Suns making this deal is very clear, which is to accept Okafor's expiring contract and free up salary space for signings in the summer.

Jiang Mingliang also received some calls and received some transaction applications. However, almost all the trading partners have no intention of trading the draft picks in the summer of 2014. After all, 2014 is a big draft year, and the market for draft picks is not the same as that of 2013, a small draft year. At this stage, everyone will not easily send out the team's draft picks. If Jiang Mingliang wants to improve the draft picks and select Porzingis, unless there is a particularly good opportunity, there is a high probability that he will have to wait until the dust of the lottery is settled. start working.

Because of this, Jiang Mingliang rejected almost all trade applications, and the team is currently in good condition. For Jiang Mingliang, there is no need to disrupt the good operation of the team. Even Porzingis is not as important as the team's championship this season.

After a day's rest, the Nets returned home and faced the challenge of the Washington Wizards.

Still enjoying the rookie benefits of Wall and Bill, and selecting Porter this season, the Wizards' lineup this season is already quite good. However, this team, which has been rebuilt for four years, still does not seem to have escaped the fate of the weak team. Logically speaking, the starting lineup of Wall, Bill, Ariza, Nene, and Gortat is considered a very good team on paper, but the team's performance in the previous games has always been offline, which also makes the Wizards The fans were very disappointed.

But speaking of this team's problems are quite obvious. Wall, Ariza, and Gortat seem to be above-average defenders in their respective positions, but they all have decent single-defense capabilities and low-to-medium assist defense capabilities. The head coach is unable to create a complete set of defenses. System, it is very easy to be deflated when defending against pick-and-rolls. The offensive end also has various problems. Wall has the ball in his hands, and his personal offense and passing organization are quite impressive, but his off-ball ability can be said to be almost 0. This makes him very demanding of his teammates. An attacker like Bill often plays the role of an old Ray Allen around him, and Nene, who has a good offensive ability, has difficulty adapting to Wall. In comparison, at the power forward position, an outside turret like Anderson should be more suitable for a vacancy like Wall.

The Wizards seem to be restrained by the Nets, but to some extent, they also make the Nets feel uncomfortable. First of all, since last season, the Nets have never been able to limit the height, strength, and impact of point guards. This is a fact. Secondly, Nene can also be regarded as an inside line with comprehensive offensive methods, which can also cause a lot of trouble for the Nets' inside line. In the end, after Leonard was injured, the Wizards' wing strength was also not inferior to the Nets, so this game is really a big test for the Nets.

However, after the game started, the Nets players who had made some difficult preparations for the game did not expect that the game would go so smoothly. The Wizards were a little overwhelmed in their tactical choices. Barnes, who did not make good arrangements for the defense rotation, was intentionally missed, made 4 of 6 shots in the first quarter and scored 10 points, sweeping away the haze of the past few games. And Fernandez also used the space attracted by Curry to hit two goals and scored 5 points. On the offensive end, Wall and Nene failed to work together. The Wizards' offensive tactics can even be said to have failed. In the first quarter of the game, the Wizards were opened by the Nets by 14 points. Points difference.

In the second quarter, the Wizards' main attack point was clarified. The basketball must pass Nene's hands to attack the Nets' inside line. This tactical arrangement itself is not a big problem, but Wall's poor off-ball running position The ability allows the Nets to pinch inside and outside in a timely manner without worrying that the Wizards' conduction can lead to open shots. Even if it comes out, it doesn't matter. Wall's outside shooting is still worthy of the Nets' trust.

As a point guard, Wall really has both advantages and disadvantages, which is why he is always so far away from a superstar.

At the end of halftime, the Nets widened the point difference to 17 points, and they were almost sure of winning again.

In the third quarter of the game, the Nets did not have any energy left. The team will go to Miami two days later to challenge the Miami Heat. First, the team needs to reserve energy to face a strong opponent. Second, objectively speaking, in the In the absence of Leonard and Ray Allen, the Nets are at a disadvantage facing the Heat. If there is a good or bad game against the Wizards in this game, a three-game losing streak, it will really hit the team's morale, so, whether it is a rainy day or take the Wizards to sacrifice the flag, the Nets have a good attitude towards this game. The victory of the game is inevitable.

The player's weak fighting will is also one of the reasons why the Wizards obviously have a good lineup, but they can't exert their full combat effectiveness. The Nets were still in the lead when they were still wolves like tigers, while the Wizards gradually became depressed. The point difference widened to 28 points with 2 minutes left in the third quarter, which also allowed Curry to score before scoring 20 points. Under the circumstances, I clocked out of get off work smoothly.

Leonard was injured, and more responsibilities were placed on Curry. I believe that there will not be so many such scenes in the future.

In the fourth quarter, the Wizards did not give up. Shannon Brown and Porter dared to fight hard in garbage time, especially Porter, who hit 3 3-pointers in a single quarter, which once helped the team with 7 minutes left in the game. The point difference was narrowed to 16 points, but this was also the minimum point difference between the two sides in the fourth quarter. McCollum immediately used two precise mid-range shots to widen the point difference to 20 points, ending the final suspense of the game. In the end, the Nets defeated the Wizards at home 114:97, avoiding a losing streak. Continue to sit firmly on the throne of the league's first.

Leonard will definitely be absent until after the All-Star Game. It is hard to say whether Ray Allen can return to the team before Christmas. one person.
