Build a Dream Dynasty

When the time came to April, the Nets continued to make great strides. The record of 67 wins and 7 losses has finally brought a considerable fault tolerance rate to the team. The mentality of the players is more relaxed. The team also temporarily arranges for Leonard to continue his rotation. Anyway, Leonard's appearance rate this season, The results are enough to ensure that he enters the best team of the season and the first defense. The difference is only whether the second team or the third team. This impact is not worth mentioning compared to welcoming the playoffs in a better state.

Facing the team's first opponent in April, the Pistons, the Nets showed no mercy. The Pistons have had another bad year this season. Unlike other bad teams that can at least see some hope, the Pistons have no players with particularly potential, and it seems that they can't pick a rookie with particularly potential.

It's a bit impolite to say that this team is rotten, but compared to the Pacers who are also in adversity, they really lack self-motivation. You know, the Pacers can almost be said to be the team with the worst loss because of Jiang Mingliang's crossing, but in the past five seasons, they have still entered the playoffs three times, and they are truly a small team.

At 141:103, the Nets were fully fired on the offensive end. Curry used the 50+ points in the third game of the season to greet his three-match MVP, and the Pistons, wait for the opportunity to pick up players that the Nets don't want. Much more reliable than finding someone by themselves.

There are seven games left in the season, and the overall ranking situation is quite obvious. The Nets are not in the same dimension as the teams behind them. The wheel is bound to be the case. The second place of the 76ers is also as stable as a dead dog. Although they are nine games behind the Nets, they have an advantage of four games ahead of the third-placed Bucks. In the next season, they can also rest more leisurely. The two James.

The Bucks and the Cavaliers are still fighting for the third place in the Eastern Conference. To be third in the Eastern Conference means that the Eastern Conference does not need to fight with the Nets in the second round. Although both teams have won the Nets in the regular season, the mouth The boss is not cowardly at all. But that's just a slap in the face after all, they are both physically honest.

The Raptors, Magic, and Celtics ranked fifth to seventh will not have a big problem in advancing to the playoffs if they perform normally. The final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference is mainly between the Wizards, Hornets and Pacers.

The situation is the most favorable for the Hornets, because in the next schedule, the Wizards and Pacers will have to play a game with the Nets, but the Hornets can avoid this evil star.

Conversely, the Nets themselves have the right to choose their opponents.

However, as a team aiming to break historical records, there is no fear of the opponents the team may encounter in the first round.

Going to the Bay Area to challenge the Warriors who have been doing badly this season, the Nets once again hid the team's main center Porzingis to give full play to Curry's ability to lead the team. However, what is a little surprising is that facing his old club, Curry was a little cold-handed. In the first half, he made 1 of 12 shots and only scored 4 points. This also made many people think that the team would be on the Tanks. Overturned.

Fortunately, in the second half of the game, Curry consciously increased the frequency of his attacking the basket and forcibly improved his competitive state. He scored 9 points in a single quarter and sent out three assists, helping the team narrow the point difference to 1 point . In the fourth quarter, JR's nerve knife broke out suddenly, scoring 11 points in just three minutes, leading the Nets to overtake the point difference by more than 10 points. Later, in the stalemate, the Warriors, who were not willing to fight, did not make any waves, and were defeated by the Nets without any resistance.

Curry scored 21 points in the game, which can be regarded as keeping the obsessive-compulsive fans to sleep. But objectively speaking, in this game, MVP's performance was a little stretched.

With 69 wins and 7 losses, the Nets' number of wins has already tied the best record in team history, and it is also the second most in the league. With six games left in the season, there is no suspense at all to break the record. The suspense may lie in how exaggerated the Nets can raise this record and how much trouble it will cause for latecomers.

However, in the game against the Wizards, the Nets unexpectedly stumbled. Facing the Wizards who are fighting for the playoffs, the overall performance of the Nets is a bit hip, JR, Harris, Green, Covington , Pierce shot 9 of 32 three-pointers in the whole game, and did not miss the Wizards' home basket. The Wizards double-teamed Curry unscrupulously, which also made Curry's game today very uncomfortable.

Throughout the game, Curry's performance was actually not bad. With his teammates in poor condition and he received a relatively high-intensity defense, Curry sent out an efficient performance of 13 of 27 shots and scored 36 points. He also sent 8 assists, but the problem appeared on the defensive end. Wall and Bill teamed up to score 63 points. Porter also frequently fired shots from the outside. On the offensive end, he played the strongest game of the season so far, and finally defeated the Nets 132:119. While pushing himself into the playoffs, he also gave the Nets their eighth loss of the season.

With five games left in the season, the Wizards took the initiative to advance. However, for the victory of this game, the Wizards also suffered heavy losses. The team's second leader Bill was found injured after the game and is expected to miss the rest of the regular season.

Bill's injury may affect the playoffs. From this perspective, to comfort myself, it may be acceptable to let the Wizards enter the playoffs.

However, in the locker room, Stevens was furious, thinking that some players' attitudes towards the game were really problematic, and made it clear that no one on the team was stable enough to enter the playoffs. Some people don't play hard, and he doesn't guarantee that there will be no surprises in the playoff list.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Stevens is not targeting someone else, but Pierce, who has performed well on the offensive end after officially joining the team this season. However, the legend of the Celtics relies heavily on Covington on the defensive end to help change positions and make up for them.

The reason why Stevens was furious was not only to suppress the arrogance of some veteran players, but also to motivate the water dispenser players. Other teams have a special respect for veterans who come to shoot. Even if they know that the opponent sometimes stays strong, they will always superstitiously believe in the role of veterans at critical moments in the playoffs. Keep veterans out of the playoff roster. But the Nets are different. After Jiang Mingliang took charge, they have never been a paradise for veteran players. Among the Nets' veterans who have held their thighs in the past few years (Ray Allen is not counted), Caron Butler is the best in terms of court performance, and he has also really helped the team. Grant Hill is more The effect lies in the guidance of Leonard during training, which made Kawhi improve rapidly. Pierce has made some achievements on the offensive end, but the defensive end is really a little weak, and other results are not very good. Therefore, Jiang Mingliang doesn't care if he doesn't have an old man to join him in the future.

Conversely, if you can complete the feat of breaking the record and winning the championship, why not come to grab the championship?

Stevens' words are an inspiration to the team's drinking fountain players. In the team, the five players Curry, JR, Leonard, Dreaming Green, and Porzingis must be selected for the squad. Dinwiddie, Nurkic, and Covington play an irreplaceable role in the Nets' bench lineup. Although veteran Carter's performance is average, he has a positive attitude on the court and is an important figure in team history. He can also lock a position . For the remaining four positions, one of Pierce, Joe Harris, Royce O'Neal, O'Quinn and West must be selected. Considering that the inside personnel reserves in the playoffs still need to be as rich as possible, there is a high probability that O'Quinn and West will not be wiped out. Pierce sometimes plays the role of point guard on the bench. Originally, the last position was between O'Neal and Harris, but now, Pierce is not stable.

However, what is not very favorable for the two role players is that after losing the game against the Wizards, Leonard officially returned. Stevens' purpose is obvious. One is to ensure that the team is as stable as a dead dog and break this record, and the other is to let Leonard adapt to the intensity of the game at the end of the regular season, so as to prevent the playoffs. What was unexpected at the first time.

The Eagles, who have bid farewell to the playoffs this season, failed to stop the progress of the Nets. The Eagles are more or less dead this season. Carroll left, and the team did not make up a suitable small forward in time. It is to put LaVine on the starting lineup and Korver to the small forward position, which is completely destroying the team's defense. Later they tried Bazemore again, with the same effect. In the second half of the season, Horford and Millsap suffered injuries one after another. Both of them will become free agents after the end of the season. The two chose to think for themselves. The Eagles also firmly secured the twelfth position in the Eastern Conference. You can't beat the opponents in front of you, and you can't beat the shameless ones behind you. Simply promote newcomers Schroeder and LaVine to the top.

Compared with the Pistons, the Hawks are good in that they have found their own team building core. LaVine, who was promoted to the starting lineup this season, averaged 21 points and 6 assists per game, and his performance is very experienced. If it weren't for the good basic data in his rookie season, and his poor record this season, he should be able to compete for the most improved player.

But against the Nets, facing Leonard's defense, LaVine still can't prove that he can show a stable performance when facing top defenders. Although he also scored 20 points and 8 assists in the whole game, his shooting percentage of 7 of 28 shots was even lower than Kobe's 7 of 27 shots. On the other hand, Curry on the opposite side easily scored 33 points and led the team. Won the 70th victory of the season, breaking the team history record.

This is also the second team in the history of the NBA to achieve 70 wins. After the game, all the fans in Atlanta also collectively cheered "MVP" and paid tribute to Curry.
