Build a Dream Dynasty

After two consecutive away trips in the West, the Nets, who returned to their home court, ushered in the challenge of last season's Finals opponent, the Spurs.

The Spurs have always had an excellent record in the regular season, and they were also a team that reached the finals last season. However, when the media ranked the strength list, they always unconsciously looked down on the Spurs. Ranked fifth in the strength list, it may be understandable that it is not as good as the Nets, 76ers, and Thunder, but it is outrageous that it is not even as good as the Mavericks.

However, the performance of the Spurs in the Finals last season when they faced the Nets with no power to fight back was indeed a stretch. The wing combination of Butler and Parsons looked really good in the regular season, and they could handle Durant in the Eastern Conference Finals. After a while, but facing Leonard in the finals, he can give him the illusion of competing for FMVP, which shows how miserable he was.

Butler is a smaller Leonard in all aspects, and Parsons can't handle it at all in terms of strength. In this case, there will be ghosts if he is not suppressed. However, this season, the Nets have also had problems with their wing position. McCollum's problem will definitely be caught by a famous coach like Popovich and made full use of.

Sure enough, in the arrangement of the starting lineup, the Spurs made adjustments to this point. With Manu Ginobili on the starting lineup, the Spurs seem to be trying to kill the Nets' weakness at the second position.

The team's No. 2 position may have to be adjusted. McCollum does have the ability, but he cannot be Curry's backcourt partner anyway. To be honest, apart from James fans, Durant fans will complain about Curry's defense in the MVP campaign. At other times, everyone assumes that Curry's defensive level is above the league average, at least when the Nets' main offense When the point is not on Curry, he's a passable defender. But after partnering with McCollum this season, "double leakage in the backcourt" has become a label for the two, and even Curry's defense has encountered a lot of doubts.

The point is that the team's first-round picks in the two seasons of 15.16 were all penalized, and Jiang Mingliang had a lot less chips to reinforce the second position. I can only move my bad neighbor's idea. JR Smith is a huge hole for the Knicks, but this guy depends on how he uses it. Jiang Mingliang is not sure that Smith will be saved when he comes to the Nets, reaching the level of guards with swords when he was in the Cavaliers, but at least, he will have more opportunities to perform next to Curry. As for the Knicks' draft pick, how much is it worth? Who dares to make an assertion?

In the first quarter of the game, Ginobili not only made 3 of 4 shots and scored 11 points, but also sent two assists to help the team lead the Nets 31:25. While Duncan and Parker continue to decline, Ginobili still maintains a good competitive state. The basketball IQ and durable body of Argentine Yaodao are really enviable.

And the fatal blow he really gave the Nets happened in the second quarter. Ginobili broke through McCollum's defense in the offense, Leonard went up to defend, and there was Dreaming Green waiting to attack on the right. McCollum is on Ginobili's left back side, and has completely blocked the gap. Ginobili has already taken three steps. In order to attack the cutting angle, he tried to get through the narrow space in the middle. McCollum posted Came up, blocked the remaining space, flashed and moved, Ginobili hit Leonard's right knee, Leonard fell to the ground covering his knee on the spot.

The game ended immediately, and the on-site team doctor immediately rushed forward to check the injury on Leonard's knee, but Curry couldn't bear to watch this scene, and squatted in the backcourt alone.

The scene immediately booed Ginobili.

In the past, the Spurs' style of play has never been very clean. Bowen and Hawley are the league's most powerful weapons, and Ginobili is also an expert in stepping up and pushing hips. In recent years, the team has changed from the slow-paced and boring style of play in the past, focusing on the offensive system, which has washed a lot, but if it really comes to a critical moment, or when the enemy meets, lethal tactics reappear.

"There must be a problem with the patella, and it is expected to be more serious." After the examination, the team doctor gave Stevens such a result.

Leonard couldn't stand up at all, was carried out of the field on a stretcher, and was sent directly to the hospital for treatment. Aminu took his place. The biggest threat was eliminated, and in order to protect Ginobili, Popovich replaced Ginobili with Butler. It seemed that the Argentine was not ready to play.

In the home game, how can the Nets make people feel ups and downs on their heads? With Fernandez not here, Chasing Dream Green is the biggest villain of the Nets. During another defense, Chasing Dream Green waved his arm and hit Tony Parker directly. Knowing whether it was intentional or unintentional, he poked his finger into the Frenchman's eye, and Parker fell down on the spot covering his eyeballs.

The conflict between the two sides then escalated again!

The Nets are known for their "eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth" style in the league. It's okay if it's an accident, but as long as you are suspected of maliciously hurting someone, the Nets will definitely retaliate. Although it is unreasonable at times, it is also a kind of protection for its own core players. Otherwise, I don't know how many lethal fouls were imposed on Curry.

On the sidelines, Popovich and Stevens also had a dispute. Popovich denounced the opponent for revenge in front of the referee, and Stevens also retorted. How much evil has the Spurs done? count?

The referee didn't talk nonsense, he made a technical foul on one side, and then warned both sides again, not to make any more troubles, and if something happened next, he would directly impose a heavy penalty.

The authority of the referee is unquestionable. After returning from the timeout, Parker returned to the locker room to deal with the eye injury, and Ginobili, who was blessed by the referee, returned to the court. Fans booed everywhere, but for Ginobili and even the entire Spurs, it was commonplace.

Although Parker was injured and left the game, it was retaliation for retaliation. But the disadvantage of the Nets' wing position is completely magnified. The combination of Aminu and Carter is completely at a disadvantage against Butler and Parsons. Especially Butler, who completely defended against the veteran on the defensive end, and frequently succeeded in singles on the offensive end.

The Nets replaced Porzingis, who is extremely athletic, to stir up the interior and support Curry. Curry's output helped the Nets fall behind by only 4 points at halftime at 54:58.

"Kawaii fractured his patella and needed surgery. He is expected to miss six months of play." At halftime, Stevens brought bad news to the team.

After being absent for six months, it has been basically announced that Leonard will be reimbursed for the season. After losing the team's second leader, the Nets' hope of defending the title this season is already very slim.

Leonard also missed half of the regular season games last season, but that was based on minor injuries, which is completely different from being completely reimbursed in the serious injury season!
