Build a Dream Dynasty

James' drive created a shot for Mayo, who received a pass from James in the left corner and made a three-pointer. The point difference was narrowed back to 8 points. He can play his role as a super sixth man in the regular season, continue to carry in the playoffs, and become the best scoring point around James. In this summer, Mayo should be able to stay with the Heat or continue to follow James. Get a big, satisfying contract.

The Nets insisted on allowing Curry to launch the offense. Curry dribbled the ball across the half court and played a pick-and-roll with Green in the middle to reduce personal pressure. Then put the ball straight from close range, Leonard cut into the basket from the bottom corner this time, caught the ball while running, forced a layup, and continued to give the Heat a response.

Curry did a good job in this game, whether it is personal offense or scheduling teammates. The three quarters are not over yet, and he has already achieved 23+8 data. It should be a matter of course to get a double-double, but obviously, in the playoffs stage In fact, it doesn't make much sense to be entangled in the data. The only thing everyone considers is the outcome.

The Heat attacked. James broke through and was double-teamed by Leonard and Lopez. He didn't find a mobile phone opportunity. He circled around and split the ball to the left baseline. Thiel was lucky enough to grab an offensive rebound, dodged Green with a feint, but was attacked by Leonard from behind and hit the ball. Immediately, Leonard controlled the basketball, and then turned his head to look at the moon. The ball was given to Fernandez, who was going down immediately. Fernandez dribbled the ball into the Heat's penalty area, took three steps with the basketball in his arms, and was about to score a layup. Mayo had no choice but to foul.

Fernandez made two free throws and scored his 18th point, helping the team expand its advantage to 12 points.

What is more frightening than the point difference is that the Heat were a bit at a loss when facing the Nets.

The Nets played more and more smoothly. Although the team fell behind their opponents 1:3 in the regular season matchup, the Heat's struggle against the Nets in last year's playoffs made them full of confidence. In terms of the defensive effect against James, the Nets this season are even stronger than last year. Green, who was put on the starting lineup, is a better weapon on the defensive end than West, while Butler and Ke Lauder is also more suitable to wrestle with James than Barnes in his rookie period. Coupled with Lopez who guards the penalty area inside, this is almost all that makes James feel uncomfortable on the offensive end.

The point difference was widened to 18 points by Ray Allen and McCollum at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Although the appearance of Mayo and Bosh once helped the team narrow the point difference, James still failed to lead the team to counterattack at the last moment Success, with 3 minutes left in the game, Curry hit his fifth three-pointer in the game, locked his data at 32 points, 4 rebounds and 11 assists, and once again widened the point difference to 16 points. Poelstra immediately called a timeout, withdrew the main force, and called for gold to withdraw.

At 114:101, the Nets won their first game and achieved the longest 12-game winning streak in team history.

James scored a quasi-triple-double of 34 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists in the whole game. The data alone is slightly better than Curry, but as I said before, on the stage of the playoffs, data is not so important. Negative is the key.

This season is already the eleventh year of James' career. Even if he is a man of copper and iron, it can basically be concluded that his career has entered the second half. In the first ten years, in the 0607 season, he surrendered 23 points in the final quarter in the Eastern Conference finals and overturned the Pistons. It makes people feel that surpassing Jordan is not just a talk, but also a disappointment for 7 consecutive years. Afterwards, he made an infamous decision to use shortcuts to reverse the reputation of his career, turning all the pain into sweetness in the 11th and 12th seasons, and also ushered in a new enemy when he was showing his grand plans.

If he is defeated by Curry again and again, then the label figure of this era may not necessarily be James, let alone compete with Jordan for goat.

A day later, Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals was also decided. The Spurs took advantage of the Thunder's weakness in the absence of Ibaka and a sharp decline in defense capabilities, put Diaw in the starting lineup, and stunned the Thunder with all kinds of wonderful little cooperation. In this campaign, the Thunder team scored 69 points together. The performance was not explosive, but on the defensive end, they allowed the Spurs to score more than 6 players. Butler, Parker, and Ginobili scored 20 points. With a thicker lineup, the Thunder team was exhausted abruptly.

The Nets and the Spurs, two scientifically and reasonably constructed teams, defeated the Heat and Thunder, which were driven by giants as a whole, and were also regarded as a counter-kill to the giant team-building model in the league. Facts have proved that powerful players such as Fernandez and Parsons can also shine in the playoffs.

"Team basketball victory"? Well, in Jiang Mingliang's view, this is purely a false proposition.

The Spurs may represent team basketball, but the Nets are also a team supported by superstars. Curry's outside-line deterrence, which can be called the number one in history, involved the great defense of all opponents, creating the best offensive environment for his teammates. Throughout the history of the NBA, it may be difficult for anyone to have such a large delay on the opponent when defending James alone like Leonard. The Nets are as good as the Heat and the Thunder. In terms of strength, they are not much worse than the Big Three of the Heat.

The slogan of "team basketball" has to be shouted, but if you don't know who is the fulcrum and who is the beneficiary in the team's system, then even if this kind of management manages to build a good team by chance, it will be buried in their own hands sooner or later. inside.

In the summer of 2014, the Nets had two players who needed to complete early contract extensions. One was Leonard and the other was Chasing Dream Green. Jiang Mingliang had prepared a five-year contract for Leonard in advance. The maximum salary contract will completely lock Leonard in the Nets for the next six years. In this way, no matter how history will be changed by the butterfly effect, the Nets, who are sitting on Curry and Leonard, the two super giants, are sure to remain among the powerful. What Jiang Mingliang prepared for Green was a four-year high-salary contract of 44 million yuan. For a stocky power forward who is still a substitute at this stage and the offensive threat is not enough, this should also be a big contract.

In the summer of 2016, due to the signing of the new TV broadcasting contract, the salary space of the league will skyrocket, and the contracts signed before that will all become child labor contracts. There will be a lot of junk contracts. Arrange in advance to make good use of this time node, and the Nets will enjoy the benefits of a long-term cheap contract just like the Warriors in the previous life.
