Build a Dream Dynasty

The second half started, and the Nets' lineup remained unchanged. It was still the lineup of Curry, Ray Allen, Crowder, West, and Yi Jianlian. The team has increased the frequency of double-teaming Al Jefferson. At the same time, the team's offensive flexibility has been fully utilized, and the speed of the ball has been transferred to offset the disadvantages of the inside.

It is a rare opportunity to show off on the defending champion. The Hornets are also very positive. Ben Gordon hits three-pointers in a row. Outside support, the performance is quite good.

Green, Lopez, Fernandez, Leonard, if there is one person, Stevens' formation will be much smoother. If there are two people, he has absolute certainty to control the Hornets. However, the state of extremely scarce resources sometimes tests the coach's on-the-spot command. Stevens encountered headwinds many times during his time at Butler University, and finally relied on his own tactical arrangements to win from danger. After two years of good life, the Nets really regarded him as a player who hugged the player's thigh.

When the personnel were somewhat restrained, Stevens used a slightly rogue tactic, first abolishing an important player on the Hornets' defensive end, Biyombo. Shark hacking tactics reappeared in the arena.

No height, no skills, no shooting, Biyombo has gained a foothold in the Hornets, relying on defense. He has excellent defense and help defense, and he can keep up with small guards. His existence allows the Hornets to quote Curry. Then he and McGeeji went to fill in. At the same time, he is not worried about being found by West and Yi Jianlian to score easily. However, on the offensive end, Biyombo only contributed 2.8 points in an average of 16 minutes per game, and made only 52% of his free throws. The Nets have to make good use of this weakness.

Ray Allen and Yi Jianlian fouled Yongbo consecutively and sent him to the free throw line. The home fans also did their best when Biyombo made free throws. Under tremendous pressure, Biyombo made 1 of 4 free throws, and Curry took the opportunity Hit 3 points to help the team re-establish the advantage.

After making two free throws again, the Hornets reluctantly replaced Biyombo with Zeller. In this way, in the arms of Stevens, the huge pressure on the Hornets' defensive end was greatly reduced. Zeller is even stronger on the offensive end and cooperates well with Jefferson, but neither he nor Jefferson can defend pick-and-rolls, especially Curry.

Six offenses were scored four times, and the Hornets' offensive performance was better than before, but the point difference was widened to double digits by the Nets. In the final analysis, the defensive end was even worse. Realizing the problem, the Hornets replaced Biyombo again, but they messed up their rhythm one after another. At the same time, they replaced players when they encountered chopping sharks. In the second half of the second quarter, the situation of the game did not turn around. In the end, the Nets defeated the Hornets 102:88 at home.

The result was not bad, but after the game, the Nets' shark-slashing tactics were dissatisfied with Hornets coach Clifford. Clifford thinks the Nets lack some of the poise of a strong team.

Faced with the opponent's doubts, Stevens tactfully expressed his apology. It's good to win the ball, and the shark-slashing tactic is indeed a bit of a defeat. If you make a mistake, you have to admit it, and you have to stand at attention when you are scolded.

Stevens paid more attention to Lopez's injury than talking to the opponent. Fortunately, after inspection, the result was okay. Lopez has a thigh muscle strain and is expected to miss the game for 10 to 14 days.

Lopez's own glass man attributes are relatively serious, and basically he has to rest for a while every season. Both Jiang Mingliang and Stevens have already prepared for this. This season, without Baynes as an outstanding substitute, the Nets did not have too many rests for Lopez. In addition, the Nets played all the way to the Finals last season, playing many more games than other teams. In the competition, the rest time is slightly reduced. For Stevens, in the second half of the season, both insiders and Curry need to make more rotation arrangements to avoid any worse results.

. . . . . . .

From 13 years to 14 years, it means a lifetime. On New Year's Eve, Jiang Mingliang took Jessica and Krystal to Times Square to celebrate the New Year. The trees were all newly decorated, just like the ancient Chinese poem "Thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloom", and the pedestrians on both sides of the street were crowded with each other, bustling with festive atmosphere. On this day, Times Square is the place where young people gather the most, and it is completely gathered into a stream of people, which is endless. All kinds of colorful decorations fill the streets and alleys with the atmosphere of the New Year.

Before I came out, I thought of going with the flow, but after I came to Times Square, I had already found several restaurants, but unfortunately all of them were told that the customers were full, and those who lined up started to get their number plates.

"This restaurant still has room, hurry up!" Jessica, who was a little angry because she couldn't find a restaurant for a long time, suddenly caught a glimpse of two empty tables in a restaurant, and hurriedly grabbed Jiang Mingliang's arm and shouted.

It doesn't matter what restaurant it is, let's talk first! Anyway, what you eat on New Year's Eve is not the food, but the atmosphere!

"Hehe!" Jiang Mingliang grabbed a menu on the table and left the other menu for Jessica to order.

"EMMMMMM" Jessica looked timid when she saw the menu. She can understand the Russian menu of the Russian restaurant!

"Look carefully before you come in next time, don't just go inside the restaurant when you see it!" Jiang Mingliang gave a lesson, and then began to order, "One serving of truffle mushroom stewed rice, one serving of noodles with sausage and cheese tomato sauce, A roast spring chicken, a Russian muffin. That's all. Ice cream after dinner."

After ordering, the two sisters looked at Jiang Mingliang, as if they had something to say.

"In New York, you can eat everything. I've even eaten Tahitian specialties, so it's not surprising that I can order." Jiang Mingliang said calmly.

"I didn't want to tell you this." Krystal hesitated, and then Jessica took over, "After the Spring Festival, we want to take on more jobs."

Nodding, Jiang Mingliang became interested: "Why do you suddenly think of saying this?"

"We are artists! We should have our own business. Besides, I have so much money!" Jessica emphasized.

"That's right~" Jessica is not yet 25 years old, and Krystal is not yet 20 years old. The two of them stayed by Jiang Mingliang's side and played the role of a vase before they were ready. Sixty, seventy, eighty years of life.

"I can help arrange for Krystal. With the popularity you have accumulated in "This is Slam Dunk" and "The Heirs", plus your fairly good Chinese, it is not difficult to get some job opportunities in Huaxia." Jiang Mingliang looked Look at Krystal, said.

"What about me?" Jessica pressed.

"Until your Chinese reaches Krystal's level, except for the theme song of "Gossip Girl" and "Running Man", you stay in the United States first." Jiang Mingliang ruthlessly rejected Jessica's request, "You have to talk about making money. Be sincere, I can't speak Chinese, I won't let you pass."

It's not just about career, even if you want to get closer to Jiang Shixiao and Yang Kaiwen, you have to practice Chinese well. Jiang Mingliang and Jiang Shixiao sometimes speak Chinese and sometimes English, but when communicating with Yang Kaiwen, they all speak Chinese. Jiang Mingliang is not only targeting Jessica, but also reminding Krystal to strive for excellence.
