Build a Dream Dynasty

After the game with the Lakers, the Nets continued their trip to the West and went to Oakland to face Curry's old club, the Golden State Warriors.

George has considerable popularity in New Jersey, and Curry is also loved by fans in Golden State. Although Curry was never close to an All-Star during his time with the team, let alone achieve today's results, the local fans in Oakland still appreciate him for such an achievement for such a player who once brought hope to the Warriors. Even in pre-match training, some fans applauded after he hit a super long three-pointer.

The relationship between the two teams is not bad. Although Curry's performance has left George a lot behind, objectively speaking, Jiang Mingliang's deal at the time actually helped the Warriors make a comeback. After all, under the circumstances at the time, if there was no strong support to join, Deron Williams would definitely have to go to the Mavericks. If there is any regret, it is that the Thunder suddenly put the two teams together, and the Warriors failed to get Harden, otherwise the current combination of Delonga Harden,,,,,, probably not as good as Delonga George.

George doesn't have much resentment towards the Nets. If he said it, he must have cared a little before, after all, he is only one step away from playing in New York. However, Oakland is in California after all. Although it is not in Los Angeles, it can be regarded as a relatively comfortable area to live in. The Warriors did not hesitate to offer him a five-year 80 million maximum salary offer, and he may activate Rose's clause. If he can be selected to the best team this season, even if it is three teams, the contract will be extended. Upgrade to 95 million in 5 years. With the maximum salary in hand, it can also take away a lot of emotions.

The Warriors spent a lot of money, but their record fell into the embarrassment of not achieving high enough and low enough. The Warriors with a complete lineup only ranked seventh in the Western Conference this season. Although the competition in the Wild West is much stronger than that in the East, the Warriors have such a lineup, and this result obviously disappointed the fans. In this game, the team's main center Bogut was also absent due to injury, which also made the fans at home not very optimistic about the Warriors' victory.

However, after the start of the game, the Warriors, the home team, took the lead in attacking. Around the two core players in the team, Deron and George, the Warriors quickly launched a precise and powerful attack on the Nets.

For Fernandez to deal with Harden, a player like Kobe Bryant who is physically strong at the second position is still reliable. It’s okay to play as a small forward occasionally, but it’s a bit too embarrassing for him to face the All-Star small forward George directly. . And one of Deron's great advantages as a point guard is that he has a clear mind and knows where to pass the ball. George can open the situation, so he gives the ball to George to play. David Lee can kill the inside of the Nets. Just give David Lee more possessions.

In contrast, the Nets' offense relies more on Curry. At present, the Nets' dependence on Curry is intensifying. You know, Curry has never been an artificial human with steel and iron bones like James. He just experienced season reimbursement last season. He changed his shooting method last season and more rotations bought him rest time. He played steadily for a season, but this does not mean that full attendance will become the norm for Curry. Jiang Mingliang knew that it was unknown whether Sheved could play, but he still made this deal. The purpose was also to use the Russian's offensive ability with the ball to buy more rest time for Curry. Even if it affects the team's regular season results, it is acceptable to lose a few more games, but Curry must not suffer any more injuries.

The record of the Nets has declined this season. Another important reason is that the inside duo has declined on the offensive end, or it can only be said to be outstanding occasionally. Lopez contributed about 12 points in an average of 29 minutes per game. Both the playing time and the scoring data have reached a career low, while West's scoring data is only 9.6 points in the case of some statistic behaviors. The personal decline on the offensive end is also the key to the Nets' offensive focus completely shifting to the outside. However, in the factory game, Lopez's performance has picked up after Sheved's appearance. It is surprising to say that the first person who had a tacit understanding with him after the Russian joined the team was Lopez. After the pick-and-roll, he went down to the free throw line and received a pass from Sheved's baseline. He turned around and shook Speights away, licking the basket and scoring, helping the Nets to narrow the point difference. Crowder, who has some pseudo-3D attributes, raised his hand and scored a three-pointer without getting rid of the defense. At the end of the first quarter, the two new aids finally performed, helping the team narrow the point difference to 4 points.

The Warriors have an average record this season, and the lack of bench strength is a very important reason. But it’s no wonder, the team has Deron, David Lee, Bogut, and Richard Jefferson with four big contracts of over 10 million yuan, plus George’s maximum salary starting next season, the team’s total salary will directly break through It's unreasonable to have money to replenish the bench when the luxury tax threshold is exceeded. In other words, the Warriors still need a team to help them eat Jefferson's expiring contract, otherwise, life will be even more difficult.

However, when the main lineup returned, the two points of George and David Lee still made it very difficult for the Nets to parry. Although David Lee also has some brush attributes, his offensive skills are really good and his output is stable. Stevens left Crowder on the court, but it was still difficult to parry George. Crowder's height and small forward's movement speed are good against other small forwards. When he meets George's type of tall projection The blame is simply tasteless, and there is no way to prevent it.

According to this situation, in the Christmas game, the Nets will face Durant, who is taller, more accurate, and stronger than George, it is really bad luck!

Mark Jackson also let go of Crowder in a highly targeted manner during the defensive rotation, thus increasing the double-teaming of Curry. The Warriors' extended double-teaming to one step beyond the three-point line greatly limited Curry's personal offense, and when he released the ball in time, Crowder's touch of one of three shots in the face of open shots also made the Warriors The team implemented this set of defensive tactics more resolutely.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Stevens replaced Dream Chaser Green, who used Green's top of the arc to hold the ball, Curry ran without the ball, and Crowder cut more inside to involve the Warriors' defense. You dare to let Crowder go outside the three-point line, but when he enters the three-second zone, no one dares to let him go again. And Green's good overall view and passing ability can not only form a good cooperation with Curry, but also activate Boban, send Boban the nanny to feed the ball, assist Boban to ignore George's supplementary defense, and the overlord goes hard. Bow, scored 2+1.

On the defensive end, although Green's effect in restricting David Lee is mediocre, his timely replacement made George's singles less comfortable. In the second half of the second quarter, George made 1 of 3 shots, and Deron immediately changed his main attack point, and he frequently used his body to force Curry.

"It really feels like Kidd!"
