Build a Dream Dynasty

Just after the All-Star Game, the Nets ushered in a terrifying schedule of three consecutive away from the Northwest. The Portland Trail Blazers, Oklahoma City Thunder and Utah Jazz are the three opponents for the Nets, which are more important than the Texas three. Lianke is even more terrifying. The distance is long, the altitude is high, and the opponent is strong. It is tiring to think about it.

However, placing this schedule after the All-Star Game is also an opportunity for the Nets to test themselves. To put it bluntly, the current stage is a stage in which the team's overall physical condition is relatively good throughout the season. It is a very good exercise for the team to meet the difficult schedule in a relatively good state.

The Trail Blazers' starting lineup this season is really strong on paper. Lillard continues to make progress, and this season is just one step away from the All-Star Game. Aldridge is an All-Star power forward in the West, and one of the league's Mesozoic insiders with excellent offensive skills. Batum has a high basketball IQ, Matthews is a very good 3D player at the second position, and Baynes is also a representative of practical insiders.

However, there is a reason why this team's record only fluctuates between 6 and 8 in the West. First of all, although the team's lineup looks harmonious, it is not the case when playing. Batum can shoot 3 points and has a good defense, but he is not a 3D small forward. He supports the ball and conducts the ball. Cutting without the ball, running back, his skills are very comprehensive, but in the current tactical system of the Trail Blazers, his other functions have been greatly weakened, which also caused some problems in his mentality. Will choose the unreasonable offensive method of forcing a shot. The team boss Aldridge is an All-Star player with a low desire for power. When Lillard holds a lot of ball power and Batum sometimes "tops", Aldridge will even be in a certain situation. Sometimes reduced to the team's third offensive option. His personality is very good, so he won't cause any trouble, but sometimes the boss of the team is too soft, which may not be a good thing.

Not everyone can convince others with virtue, because not everyone has a sense of propriety and knows other people's concessions. Some people are really aggressive and don't know what is good or bad.

Lopez beats Baynes with a jump ball and the game starts.

West pulled to the three-point line to cover Curry. Lillard chased quickly. Curry responded. West made a step behind the free throw line to shoot. Butler from the penalty area line received the ball, hit a time difference, and scored an easy layup.

The Blazers completed an offense. Lillard and Baynes broke through after a pick-and-roll, attracting the defense to Baynes. The latter suppressed Lopez in the penalty area and distributed the ball again. Aldridge's right 45 degrees Scored an open mid-range shot. 2 to 2.

Lopez went outside the three-point line to pick and roll Curry. This time Lillard failed to go around the screen. The pick and roll blocked the guard for a second, and a hole appeared on the field. Curry lowered his center of gravity to break through, and Baynes couldn't keep up at all. get rid of easily. Aldridge retreated, trying to defend against the basket, but Curry didn't go to the basket, and hit a jumper with a 5o-degree emergency stop on the right, 4-2.

The Blazers attack, Lillard and Aldridge play a pick-and-roll, Curry bypasses the screen and chases successfully, Lillard makes an emergency stop for a jumper, and misses the shot under interference, Lopez grabs the rebound and holds it in his arms, controlling Hold the ball.

The Nets played positional battles and played the same tactic. Curry directly attracted double-teams, and Fernandez suddenly cut to the basket from outside the three-point line. Curry hit the ground and passed the ball, Fernandez took the ball and took three steps, pulled the bar to avoid Baynes' block, and scored a layup! 6 to 2.

The Blazers attacked, and Lillard once again used the pick-and-roll to squeeze out the shooting space, forced a shot, and missed a three-pointer.

When he met Curry, Lillard had a strong desire to perform, but now he does not have such a strong long-range shot. The rebound was grabbed by West, and Lopez helped him block Aldridge. Baynes' ability to grab rebounds is average, and he has no habit of grabbing offensive rebounds. He retreats with his teammates.

The Nets attack, West catches the ball in profile, Curry runs to the right to attract the defense, Fernandez goes to the left corner first, and immediately runs back, and Lopez has no ball to cover, and receives West's pass the ball.

This time Aldridge was hesitant to switch defenses, but Fernandez seized the opportunity and made an easy mid-range hit.

The Nets' opening offense was smooth and smooth. On the other hand, the Blazers did not revolve around Aldridge, who had an absolute advantage in the matchup. Instead, they let Lillard launch more offenses.

When Stotts was coaching the Bucks, he liked to let everyone pass. Reed shot and shot birds. After driving to the Trail Blazers, this problem has not changed. Lillard is still the most dependent on the outside. In fact, the evaluation of Stotts' coaching level is basically closely related to the level of the backcourt combination. If you let him coach Mo Buchuan and Reid, then he is a pit. If you let him coach Lillard and McCollum, then he is at the level of the first to second round of the playoffs. If you give him the opportunity to coach Paul Gaharden, he might be able to touch the floor of the Western Conference Finals or even the Finals floor. On the defensive end, the Trail Blazers also adopt a single defense, including inside players who face pick-and-rolls, and often choose to squat and stay in place. This kind of defensive routine is actually easy to be shot by a superstar with strong shooting ability. die.

Lillard and Aldridge pick-and-roll and took two steps back to each other. Facing Fernandez's supplementary defense, Aldridge made a straight-arm jumper and missed under interference. Butler grabbed the rebound.

Curry dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, Fernandez led Baturu to the right, Curry dribbled the ball into the penalty area, circled around the basket, and the ball was passed to Lopez on the left from the horn on the right. Distance layup.

The tactics were restrained, and the players felt sincere. The Trail Blazers were beaten by the Nets at the beginning, and the point difference continued to expand. This is a relatively easy game for the Nets to face the Western Conference playoffs this season.

In the first half of the first quarter, the Nets established a 14-point lead. Entering the matchup of the rotation lineup, Leonard's first show after returning from injury proved how correct it was for the Nets to bet on him. He completely beat the Blazers' backup wing Crabbe, scoring 9 points on 4 of 5 shots in a single quarter, making it completely unthinkable that he just returned from injury.

At 41:24, the Blazers regained some touch in the second half of the first quarter, but the defensive end was completely destroyed by the Nets, and the point difference was also widened. Facing the Nets, the Blazers lost so much at the beginning. It's a bit difficult to do.

As we all know, although the Nets are easy to make a few waves after leading by a big score, few opponents can really turn over. Most of the time, the opponent is played by them like a cat and a mouse, and is extremely insulting to death.
