Build a Dream Dynasty

Although Leonard was hidden in the snow in this game, in terms of strength, the Nets still have to beat the Celtics. Chasing Dream Green may be the most restrained player in the league against Randall. Porzingis, who is tall and long, has both athletic ability and shooting space, may be the most taboo type of defensive tank like Baynes. It is true that Bradley is very suitable for defending Curry, but let alone how much he can restrict Curry, JR over there probably can kill Thomas Jr. alive.

Gentry also seriously considered using Smart as the starter in this game, but considering that the team's relatively constipated offense relies heavily on Thomas' personal ability, he finally dismissed this idea. After all, losing to the Nets is nothing, but the impact of destroying the team's already formed chemical reaction is unpredictable.

Porzingis won with a jump ball. Curry took the ball to the frontcourt. Green pulled out the three-point line. The latter runs towards 70 degrees. Although Thomas is small, he is still dexterous, but he is going against the hang. His speed is not fast, and he can't keep up with Curry. Baynes has no choice but to switch defenses quickly. One step, and returned the ball to Green at close range. Green kept passing the ball inside to Porzingis, who was going down. Facing the defense of Randall, who was much shorter than himself, Porzingis easily hit the short-range shot.

The Celtics attacked, Thomas took the ball to the frontcourt and passed the ball to Joe Johnson, Leonard was not there, Stevens arranged for Harris to start this game, Joe Johnson played against him, obviously the advantage is very large At a big point, the other players pulled away. Johnson’s right side frame, his right foot explored, and his left foot stepped forward to break through the baseline. Harris made an accurate judgment and followed up from the side, but the confrontation between the two is not at the same level, Joe After Johnson knocked out of the shooting space, he made an easy fadeaway jumper, 2:2.

Joe Johnson is also a player with a bit of "cleanliness". He can solve problems with shooting and try not to kill inside. But this is also good, with high attendance rate, less impact from injuries, and this hand is well practiced, even in the playoffs, it is also a very guaranteed way to score. Jiang Mingliang also likes players like Joe Johnson very much, except for his too high salary.

The Nets attacked, Curry and Green played a pick-and-roll to the right in the middle, and the Celtics chose to switch defenses. Curry's skillful dribbling skills made Randall turn in circles on the court, and Randall, who was dizzy, looked helplessly. Watching Curry easily reach the basket and hit a two-pointer with a high throw.

Without Leonard, Curry obviously has to take on more offensively.

The Celtics attacked, and the ball was handed over to Joe Johnson again for a one-on-one match. This time, Green assisted in the defense in time and formed a double-team. Defensively, forced a shot, but the ball fell into the basket impartially.

The Nets were not affected by this fairy ball. Curry and Green first picked and rolled outside the three-point line, and took two steps to the right to attract the defense to pass back. Green received the ball in the middle, faced Randall's defense and took two steps inside, passed it to JR on the left and stood beside JR's breakthrough line to cover him, got rid of Bradley, and Joe Johnson made up for it. The defense missed Harris. The latter received the ball without interference, hit a three-pointer, and responded with a three-pointer.

The Nets' offensive routines are proficient, and Curry's threat as a containment point is too great, and it is really difficult for opponents to parry.

The Greens attacked. Randall pulled the ball to the outside and was followed by Green. He wanted to go inside, but Green blocked the route in both attempts. In desperation, he gave the ball to Joe Johnson to challenge Harris. , the latter turned around and hit the jumper again.

Joe Harris' defense is probably better than Novak's. . . . . .

The Nets attacked in a positional battle. Green took a step outside the three-point line to cover Curry to get rid of Bradley. Hollow into the net, 10 to 7.

Joe Johnson relied on his personal ability to play strongly. He was double-teamed near the penalty area and gave it to Randall. The latter aimed for a mid-range shot. After easily taking the rebound, Curry immediately retreated to catch the ball, and then landed.

Green received the ball and organized it in the middle, and passed it to Porzingis near the free throw line. 12 to 7.

The outside shot was out of sight, Randall went to the low post to catch the ball and attacked, and hit the iron under Green's interference. Facing Green, who is full of physical strength, mobility, and defensive awareness, Randall can't take advantage of it. In order to avoid the block, he can only increase his release point, but loses his shooting rhythm.

The Nets continued the screen attack after the pick-and-roll. Curry caught the ball and hit Randall. After another series of smart dribbles, he came to the corner jumper and hit another one! 14 to 7.

More than 4 minutes into the game, Gentry was forced to request a timeout.

Replacing Smart is an idea for the Celtics to drink poison to quench their thirst. Although this second-year student has good defensive ability and is not at a disadvantage against some insiders in terms of strength, he is on the offensive end. In other words, it is a person who can ignore the threat.

But the facts have proved that the Nets slightly underestimated the smart basketball IQ. Although Smart's shooting ability is average, when he is off the ball, he is also consuming Curry all the time and pushing Curry into the penalty area.

This trick is really clever. No matter how threatening Smart is on the offensive end, Curry can't let him go into the penalty area, but Smart wrestling with Curry must be very difficult for Curry. Uncomfortable.

Although the Celtics did not score the ball, looking back, under the joint defense of Bradley and Smart, Curry did not find a suitable shot. Fortunately, today Porzingis He feels good, took over the heavy responsibility of the team's second offensive point, and used his height advantage to score points in face-to-face singles.

There is one thing to say, a championship team like the Nets is actually not suitable for cultivating rookies. Porzingis's starlight can earn the third place in the team at most, falling firmly behind Curry and Leonard. With his talent, 20+10 is not difficult if he is on a weak team, but in his second season with the Nets, his stats only rose to 16+8. Compared with his rookie season In fact, the increase is not very large, and his playing time has actually increased a lot.

However, Porzingis provided more contributions other than statistics. He increased the stability of his projection, increased the threat of his face-to-face offense, and even the top defense, which is not very good at it, can see the progress visible to the naked eye. .

In the first quarter of the game, the Nets led 38 to 27.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Thomas Jr., who had rested for a long time, started his personal offensive mode. First, he hit a three-pointer from the outside. After Dinwiddie responded with a mid-range shot, Thomas Jr. used the pick-and-roll to break into the inside line and faced Nurkic's defense. A forced layup not only scored the ball, but also caused a foul by Nurkic, scoring 2+1.

Although Thomas Jr. is positioned as the starter, the way he uses this game is biased towards a super sixth man. The key is to face Dinwiddie and Carter. His scoring efficiency is really high, leading the team to narrow the point difference to 4 points.

Veteran Carter looked a little depressed. After Pierce came to the team this season, his state was activated by this old man to a certain extent, but as the season progressed, his state gradually began to decline. Behind him, Roy Si O'Neal's condition is also getting better and better, and it is also putting pressure on him to a certain extent.

Sure enough, during a timeout in the second quarter, Stevens made personnel adjustments, and O'Neal replaced Carter. Although this season's rookie is not as good as the rookies that Jiang Mingliang has discovered in the past, he has indeed made rapid progress in daily training and competitions. The training direction of the coaching staff is basically to go in the 3D direction, and even the template is very clear, that is, Bradley standing opposite today or Sefolosa of the Thunder, taking into account switching to the first position at certain times .

After Royce O'Neal came on the field, he immediately cooperated with Chasing Dream Green, who also just appeared on the stage, to complete the steal, and received Green's point in the next fast break, completed a layup and helped the team stop the bleeding.

Since the second quarter, Thomas Jr.'s fiery touch has also declined. The strongest 175 on the surface has turned to a foul-making strategy. However, most of the Nets have experienced the baptism of Harden's proficient touch skills. , the skill of avoiding Pingci was considered full, but it didn't let Thomas succeed. The two sides maintained the balance of power in the game until the main players such as Curry and Porzingis returned to the court.

The main players re-appeared. It was not Curry who made the first attack, but JR Smith. This nerve knife, which had not been opened for a long time, entered a violent mode in the second quarter of the game. Zhong made an unreasonable three-pointer, and then faced Randall in the transition of offense and defense to complete the dunk. Then, his third personal three-pointer in this quarter came soon, and all kinds of unreasonable scoring hit The Celtics were unable to parry. JR scored 15 points in a single quarter and 20 points in the half. The team scored the highest. Curry scored 17 points and Porzingis also scored 12 points. ahead of 56.

In the second half of the game, the Celtics still couldn't prevent it. Although JR Smith's touch has declined, Curry and Porzingis' performances are still stable. For the Celtics, Randall was completely strangled by Green today. His abnormality is the main reason why the Celtics are powerless against the Nets. Only relying on Joe Johnson's piecemeal attack, the Celtics want to Overturning the Nets seems unrealistic.

The Nets made some efforts in the second half of the fourth quarter and replaced all the substitute players. West, who returned to the team in the last game but did not score a point, also used his iconic mid-range shot to get back. After the first point, the final score was fixed at 134:111. The Nets beat the Celtics by 23 points, raising the score to 53-5.
