Build a Dream Dynasty

The balance of power between the two sides was maintained until the official timeout. Next, the Nets continued to exert force on the offensive end. First, Curry went around the screen and received a pass from Green, made a three-pointer and continued to hit. Then Leonard launched the active skill "Death Coil" in the midfield, successfully intercepted the ball from DeRozan's hand abruptly, broke into the penalty area, took off with both feet, and dunked with his right hand, and then JR started to convulse again, hitting two in a row With a difficult layup, before the Nets entered the rotation lineup, they opened the point difference to 9 points in one go, and the main players rested contentedly.

In the face of adversity, Casey did not choose to withdraw the main players, and all the other main players except Howard stayed on the court. Don't look at the playing time of DeRozan, Lowry and others are not exaggerated. They all averaged 37 or 38 minutes per game, but this is based on the fact that Casey will give the main players more rest when the point difference is large. Time, stalemate, it is very common for Lowry and DeRozan to play 40+ in a game.

The Nets' bench lineup is considered the best in the league, but it is quite obvious that they are at a disadvantage against the main force of the Raptors. The Trash Brothers led the team to play a wave of 9:2 attacks at the end of the first quarter, dividing the score. The difference was reduced to 2 points, and the first quarter ended with 29:31.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Casey replaced the main players to catch his breath, and the situation of the Raptors immediately took a turn for the worse. The strength of the Raptors' inside substitute Nogueira is average. Nurkic, who is good at attacking in the upper and lower positions, is obviously at a disadvantage. The height of another substitute insider, Patterson, is a problem. The Nets seize this point , insisting on feeding Nurkic the ball, the Raptors played by the Great Pyrenees was very uncomfortable.

After Ujiri took charge of the Raptors, he did a good job in trading, employing people, and signing. The city is at a disadvantage in terms of attractiveness, and the boss is not as rich as Ballmer. All the money has been spent on the main lineup, so he must be at a disadvantage in the competition for the bench lineup?

The offense could not be opened, and Casey was forced to replace Lowry and Howard in advance. As soon as Lowry came on the field, Norman Powell, the rookie selected by the team this season, was immediately activated and began to perform. Keech's offensive end was contained.

Fortunately, enough advantages were accumulated before, even if the Raptors recovered some points, when the Nets' main players returned to the game, the team still enjoyed a 5-point lead.

The team has an advantage in physical strength, and the focus of the offensive end is also deflecting to Leonard. The regular season has entered the final sprint stage, and the team is also consciously reducing the burden on Curry and reducing some losses. Firstly, the high winning rate in the first half still brings some fault tolerance to the team. Second, the relatively solid lineup itself needs to take on more at this stage, especially Leonard, the second-in-command, needs to be on the offensive end. Make more contributions to prove that you are a small forward at the same level as James and Durant, not James, the third small forward after Durant.

On the court, Leonard's performance is also hard enough, not only trying to suppress DeRozan's offensive efficiency on the defensive end, but also making the Raptors miserable on the offensive end. This season, Leonard's shooting rate from beyond the three-point line is relatively average, and his 38% shooting rate can only be said to be slightly better than the league average. Curry crushes opponents from beyond the three-point line, and Leonard kills in the mid-range. In the second quarter, Leonard made 5 of 7 mid-range shots, 2 of 2 free throws, and scored 12 points, leading the team to expand the point difference again.

At the end of the half, it was 61 to 49, and the point difference between the two sides basically reflected the gap in strength.

At the beginning of the second half, the Nets did not keep their hands. The main players of the Nets, who were aiming to clock in in the three quarters, rushed to the basket one after another. Although Curry and Leonard are both good at shooting, they are a huge threat on the offensive end. In addition to his superb housekeeping skills, his shooting percentage at the basket is also higher than the league average, especially Curry. It is not easy for a player of his size to shoot at the basket with both production value and shooting percentage. A statistic that surprised many people is that Curry's shooting percentage at the basket is higher than that of Harden and Westbrook, who seem to be more threatening at the basket, second only to Parker at his peak, but the basket The next technology is Parker's guy who eats.

On the Raptors side, there is a lack of a player who can respond and hit the "answer ball". DeRozan is considered the top card of the Raptors, but his weight is still a little weaker. This is also a piece of Ujiri heart disease. The management has tried its best to improve the team's lineup, but in many cases, if the team wants to achieve good results, it really needs a superstar. The good record of the Raptors makes it difficult for them to select rookies with superstar potential, and the superstars that have grown up in recent years, but the Raptors have no chance to get involved, which definitely restricts the progress of the Raptors.

The Nets took the initiative, and the point difference quickly widened to 25 points. The game lost its suspense. In the last two minutes of the third quarter, Stevens replaced the main players. , Leonard, Porzingis and others did not appear.

In the fourth quarter of the game, the Raptors chased points under the leadership of DeRozan. It is difficult to tell whether the star of the Raptors is collecting data or never giving up, although his data is better than that of Curry and Leonard. It was much better. Although he led the team to reduce the score by 13 points, from the beginning to the end of the fourth quarter, the players of the Nets and the fans at the scene did not feel the threat from the Raptors until the end. , the team still maintains a double-digit lead.

At 110:122, the Nets successfully defeated their opponents. Although Curry clocked in three quarters, the data of 23 points, 4 steals and 5 assists is not outstanding, but the high-level data must be scary, and he is competing for the MVP of this season. The focus is not on personal data, but on the team's record In terms of whether the record can be broken, Leonard scored 24 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 steals. Chasing Dream Green played 31 minutes and scored a triple-double of 10 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists. For him, scoring is what hinders him. One of the troubles with getting a triple-double.

For the Raptors, DeRozan, who scored the most, played 33 minutes and scored 38 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists. However, only three of the team scored in double figures, and Lowry, who scored the second most, only had 15 points and 8 assists, which was obviously limited.

The loss was so miserable that the Nets didn't even try their best. Casey shook his head on the sidelines many times. For him, the Nets seemed to be a natural moat that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get over it.

After a day off, the Nets went to Boston to challenge their old rival Celtics away, because after this game the team will face the Bucks back to back, Stevens chose to make a rotation in this game, Leonard raised his exemption card in this game.

Last season, a "Rondo for Thomas Jr." deal unexpectedly brought the Kings and Celtics out of the bottom respectively. Rondo, the top commander, has soared since then and has made a qualitative leap. The original team was full of blue-collar workers. Except for Joe Johnson's scoring point, the Celtics' offense, which everyone else scored according to fate, was unexpectedly revitalized by Thomas Jr., who had a huge defensive hole and an extremely sharp offense. The Celtics are very suitable for Thomas Jr. because they have a lot of excellent defensive players in their team, which is suitable for helping him wipe his ass. Despite this, Thomas Jr. is still the worst defensive player in the league, not one of them.

The performance of Thomas Jr. has also led to the appreciation of other Celtics players. Bradley himself is a high-quality 3D shooting guard. While maintaining high offensive and defensive efficiency, his independent offensive ability is also slowly developed; Matt's defense and organization are very good. He is also an actor comparable to Varejao. He is willing to throw himself out when performing without fear of pain; For other junk contracts, the Celtics have pushed their total wages below the luxury tax line. In addition, Joe Johnson’s average 19+7 per game is very stable, which is very important for the team to enter the playoffs. Therefore, the Celtics People did not choose to trade this player who finally turned into a positive trading asset; Baynes' average 5+8 per game data is very dismal, but his role is not something that can be withdrawn from the data. For Stoudemire at the center position, Baynes' salary is only one-fifth of his salary, but the effect is significantly better. But these are not the Celtics' most improved players this season. Randall, a rookie who was still a big deal last season, trained crazily during the offseason to improve himself and completed his soldier assault step by step. , This season he has contributed an average of 18+9 per game, his shooting percentage has increased to 47%, his shooting range has also expanded a lot, and his offensive threat has increased exponentially.

Compared with outsourcing the bad business to the Nets in the previous life, it must be incomparable to compete for the No. 1 pick while entering the Eastern Conference Finals. But after betting on the Big Three and completing the historical task of competing for the championship, the reconstruction can be completed in such a short period of time, and there is space and attractiveness to introduce superstars in the summer of 2016. If they can optimize the team's assets and improve the star quality, it should be said that it is still possible to create some threats to the Nets in the future.

The Celtics' ball market has always been at the top of the league. This season, the team has regained its vitality and will not be easily beaten to pieces by opponents. The fans of the Celtics also hope that the North Shore Park Arena will become the opponent's Waterloo. When they enter the court, the players of the Nets feel a huge sense of oppression.

With 17 championship rings and 22 retired jerseys, the confidence of the fans is not for nothing. Unlike the star-studded star list of the Lakers, many of the Celtics' celebrities grew into stars after they came to the team, which is also an incentive for the younger generations.
