Build a Dream Dynasty

In the first half of the game, the team was scored by Wade with 14 points. This was the happiest game Wade played against the Nets in the past two years. Of course, there are factors that he regained the possession of the ball, but more of the reason is that McCollum's defensive ability is weak, especially in confrontation, which is much worse than Wade.

However, McCollum also has his own advantages as the starting shooting guard. Compared with Fernandez, McCollum has a stronger ability to dominate the ball on the offensive end. He was born as a combo guard. In his rookie season, he was honed by Stevens as a point guard. With McCollum on the court, the Nets had an extra offensive starting point, which greatly eased the situation. Curry pressure.

Keeping Curry healthy is very important for the Nets this season. Not only to reduce his playing time, but also to ease the pressure he faces on the court.

At the beginning of the second half, McCollum became the main offensive point of the Nets. Chasing Dream Green blocked Wade and helped McCollum move to receive a pass from Curry. Bosh's supplementary defense was a step slower. McCollum Mu catches a jumper with a good rhythm, the ball goes into the net hollow, and his 10th point. At the same time, it also widened the difference to double digits.

The Heat attacked, and Wade went to the frontcourt to catch the ball. Facing McCollum's defense, he used his body advantage to squeeze out space and made a mid-range shot. However, the shot felt average and the ball missed the basket.

Leonard grabbed the backcourt rebound and passed it to Curry nearby. Curry gave the ball to McCollum in a straight line. The opponent missed the shot, and the Nets pushed back firmly.

McCollum led the half court, paused in front of the three-point line on the right and looked in the middle, as if he wanted to wait for his teammates. Then he suddenly patted the ball with his left hand and changed direction with his right hand. A 50-degree emergency stop jumper and a mid-range shot scored.

The mid-range position is the least efficient position on the field, but it is also the most lethal position. In the playoffs, when the opponent is sticking to the basket and strangling the three-point line, whoever can kill the opponent continuously in the least efficient position will be able to take the absolute initiative. Superstars such as Jordan, Kobe, Nowitzki, and Curry all have absolute lethality in this area, and they can also score in various ways in the playoffs.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Spoelstra quickly called a timeout. He is an absolutely capable head coach, who has a very quick insight and response to the situation on the field.

Studying opponents before the game, Spoelstra and his assistants discussed defenses against Curry, Leonard, Lopez, and even Carter. Some underestimated McCollum and mistakenly thought that Jiang Mingliang was forced to promote him to save money. Up players. However, the reality is cruel, and McCollum's effect was immediate.

Spoelstra arranged for Wade to step up and limit McCollum's shots from the mid-range.

Back from the timeout, the Heat attacked, Wade broke through after the pick-and-roll, passed Green and scored a layup, pulling the point difference back to 10 points.

The Nets attacked, Green covered Curry without the ball on the outside, and Bosh changed to guard Curry on the outside.

Curry's potential opened up an open corner shot for Green, who made an 80-degree pull-up jumper to the left and missed the basket without interference. Asik stuck in position and helped Luol Deng pick up the rebound.

The Heat attacked, Wade singled out McCollum, forced a breakthrough to attract Leonard's defense, the Nets' defensive formation was disrupted, Chalmers got rid of Curry with a screen, and hit a three-pointer.

After the timeout, the improvement of the Heat is very obvious.

Stevens knew that McCollum's defense was mediocre and there would be loopholes, but he didn't plan to make substitutions. This was an exercise for the rookies. And McCollum can play a role offensively, too. The players that the team focuses on training need to make mistakes and give him opportunities to exercise.

The Nets attacked, Curry ran back from the bottom line to the middle, and received a ball from Green on the right. Leonard and Lopez came up with an "elevator pick and roll" in the high position, and closed the door to block Luol Deng, Wade, Bosh. Curry turned halfway in the middle and shot a three-pointer. There was no interference in front of him and he made a three-pointer.

As an old opponent, no one can appreciate the strength of the Nets better than Spoelstra. In his view, the adjustment of the Nets' lineup this summer has indeed weakened in terms of strength, but this "weakening" is not as simple as it seems on paper. Firstly, with Jiang Mingliang's excellent vision combined with Stevens' tactical system, the young players in the team are very likely to grow to the greatest extent. The more these young people improve, the more "weakened" the Nets will be. Low. Secondly, it is also the fundamental purpose of Jiang Mingliang's operation this season. The team chose to avoid taxes this season in order to reduce the impact of luxury tax pressure on the team when it continues to be strong in the future. To put it simply, if the Nets continue to renew Fernandez and West at a price that exceeds expectations this season, there is a high probability that Ray Allen can continue to be retained. Then, it will be the second year in a row that the team pays the luxury tax. Next season, with the renewal of Leonard and Dreaming Green, it will be inevitable for the Nets to pay the luxury tax for the third consecutive year. In the next two years, if the Nets trigger the luxury tax again, the amount The amount will be doubled to 2.5 times or more.

No team owner will ignore the threat posed by the super luxury tax. Jiang Mingliang's current move is a standard retreat, which has won a brighter and broader future for the Nets.

The Nets have Curry to support the team's offensive firepower, and the tactical variability around him is also much better than that of the Heat. The stalemate gradually took the initiative in the game. As for the Heat, Wade is old after all, and Luol Deng's weakness in dribbling ability is magnified by Stevens, who often forces the Heat to stop the ball and disrupt their offensive rhythm. The Heat's disadvantages become more and more obvious. The difference was also widened to 18 points by the Nets.

The fourth quarter of the game became a show for young players and substitute players. Carter returned to the Nets, and many New Jersey fans also came to the arena to cheer for him. The veteran Carter also showed a good performance to give back to the fans on the scene. Not only could he score, but he also connected the team's offense. First, he assisted Bertans to hit the first goal of his NBA career, and then indirectly assisted Porzingi Score from mid-range. The Nets also withstood the Heat's counterattack and successfully defeated their opponents 114:101, winning their first victory of the new season.

Five Nets scored in double figures, Curry scored 24 points, McCollum scored 17 points, Leonard scored 16 points, Lopez scored 15 points and 6 rebounds, Porzingis scored 11 points and 7 rebounds . Compared with last season, the Nets' offensive firepower is more scattered. With Curry's reservations, the team's offense is still flourishing.
