Build a Dream Dynasty

Butler joined the Nets for the first time, and the team won the Atlanta Hawks, which beat him this season.

This season is a year of excessive lineup for the Eagles. The team got rid of Joe Johnson and his 3-year 60 million contract, took the contracts of Pierce and Bass, and successfully renewed the contract for the offseason Horford and Teague have freed up space. The idea of ​​building this team is very clear. It only needs to properly strengthen the lineup. It should not be difficult to maintain a good ranking in the Eastern Conference.

Regardless of the fact that this team has been steadily playing the role of the threshold line of strong teams since 2008, and has steadily entered the playoffs every year. It seems to be a strong team in the East. In fact, this team has also been chaotic Famously, it is not easy to achieve the current stability. In comparison, in the current relatively stable state of the team, they will not do anything that is indestructible. Instead, it will be smooth and transitional.

Butler and Pierce, who played for the Wizards, are also old rivals. Even in the first game formed by the Celtics' Big Three, the league arranged for the Wizards led by the Three Musketeers as their opponent, which shows the cards of the Wizards. But time has passed, Pierce's trade regards him as the final contribution to the Celtics, and Butler has reached the time to hug his thighs to compete for the championship.

Although the team ushered in the return of Green in this game, the loss of Lopez still made the Nets' lineup look like there is a big loophole. Compared with Horford, who entered the NBA in the same year, Yi Jianlian, who started this game, is really much worse. The chemical reaction between Millsap and Horford is good, and it can produce an effect of 1+1 greater than 2. With such a pair of inside partners, the Eagles have a certain advantage at the beginning.

And once the insiders can't play the advantage, the Eagles still have Pierce on the outside. After the opening, although Pierce didn't have a strong desire to attack, but received the scapegoat from Teague twice, Pierce made 50% of his shots.

Yunman Buttiger was targeted tactically in the playoffs, and it was easy to make mistakes, but in the regular season, he was quite efficient and an all-around player. With Belinelli on the outside, Pierce helped to open up the space, Millsap can go down after the pick-and-roll, can be dismantled to the outside, and take away the outside defender. Teague's breakthrough has also become easier. Fortunately, Yi Jianlian has nothing else to do. After the pick-and-roll, Curry practiced the position selection of big and small. It happened to be stuck at the point where Teague was uncomfortable to break through and his shots were easy to be blocked. Teague walked around the penalty area for a while. Circle the garden, and dribble around again.

To be honest, there are no violent players in the Eagles team. Coach Budenholzer also needs a ball-holding point that can digest the ball. Otherwise, this kind of operation will piss his teammates to death.

For the Nets, the feel of this game is really mediocre, mainly because of Curry's point. This game can't find the feel. In the first quarter, they made 0 of 5 shots and scored no points, which prevented the team's offense from opening up. The newly joined Butler also sent out the embarrassment of 0-of-3 shooting. Fortunately, McCollum scored 7 points in the first quarter, plus the bench Sheved made two shots after coming on the field, helping the Nets to barely reach 20 points in the first quarter, which is also the lowest for the Nets in the first quarter of the season. Score.

In fact, many times, all the opportunities are derived. The problem lies in the failure to throw the ball in at the end.

Another very important reason for the problem of going out is that after Leonard and Fernandez were absent, more and more defensive resources of the opponent were piled up on Curry, which made him bear more and more pressure on the offensive end. heavier. Crowder can't grasp good shooting opportunities on the offensive end, and Butler, who just joined, has a mediocre touch.

The second quarter was almost a replica of the first quarter. With the Hawks chasing and intercepting him, Curry did not regain his touch and only relied on free throws to score two points. In the quarter, the offensive space created by Curry's containment of the opponent's defense was grasped. Ray Allen and McCollum hit three-pointers one after another, and Butler also hit his first layup in the Nets. Teammates' recovery carried Curry, who was 0 for 10 from the field, to end the first half with a score of 44:57.

During the intermission, Stevens emphasized that Curry must increase the frequency of breakthroughs after the pick-and-roll in the second half. His shooting ability can create a good breakthrough space for him, and Curry's breakthrough ability is actually not bad, he is just not very good in absolute speed, whether it is dribbling skills or handwork of attacking the frame, Excellent at the point guard position.

On the defensive end, the obvious change made by the Nets is to properly let go of Teague in the rotation of the defensive end and give him a chance to shoot from a long distance. Teague has never been a stable pitcher, especially in the technique of catching and shooting, he is definitely below the league average.

The Hawks' lineup has an obvious disadvantage. The overall mobility of the team is actually biased. Teague at the point guard position may be the only one who exceeds the league average in their respective positions, so when Curry uses the pick-and-roll to pass Teague, no matter who he faces, the breakthrough effect is quite good. And Pierce became his focus, the target of the name-calling and slapping. Curry scored 2+1 against Pierce twice in a row, which not only helped the team narrow the point difference, but also hit the morale of the Eagles a little bit.

And when the Eagles take advantage of the deterrence of Curry's breakthrough, if the defensive end takes a step back and leaves room for Curry to shoot, Curry's shooting ability can truly be used. Facing Millsap, Curry continuously dribbled the ball to the right and changed direction. After attracting Millsap to move laterally, he dribbled the ball behind his right hand to his left hand and returned to the center. He stepped back and made a three-point jumper with a little back .

Millsap was not completely swayed away, but his physical talent is average, his height is not enough, his wingspan is not enough, and his bounce is average. When he moves to the middle and it is too late to take off, the ball has already flown to the basket.

With a beautiful three-pointer, Curry scored 9 points in a row, forcing Budenholzer to call a timeout and adjust his defensive strategy.

Millsap singled out with the ball and was double-teamed in the low post. Curry scaled back and emptied Teague. Millsap, who is not used to playing giant stars, distributed the ball in the face of double-teaming. Curry retreated to fill Teague, a little slower, and the interference effect was not obvious, but Teague's three-point jumper missed the basket again.

The situation is developing in an extremely unfavorable direction for the Eagles.

In fact, the Eagles were able to gain a large lead in the first half of this game because of some luck. Under normal circumstances, Curry's touch is not so bad that he is 0 for 10 from the field. Even if he hits two of them, the Eagles' defensive system will have to be adjusted.

As for capturing the shortcomings of the Eagles, this is what the Nets are very good at. In fact, the Nets are one of the best teams in the third quarter in tough games. This season, the Nets' performance in this indicator is average, partly because they accumulated enough advantages in the first half and started to waver in the second half. When needed, Stevens is able to come up with dry goods to save the day.
