Build a Dream Dynasty

The two sides showed their abilities in the opening confrontation, and the score was completely twisted together. Until the first official timeout in the middle of the first quarter, the Nets only led the Clippers by one point at 19:18, and the two sides were evenly matched.

Undertook too many defensive tasks, Chasing Dream Green had committed two fouls, and Stevens had no choice but to replace him. He also replaced Covington, who was capable of three or four, and had a good defensive ability, to play a cameo role. The position of the forward, this is a somewhat passive substitution, but there is no way, Nurkic's injury has really destroyed the rotation of the Nets, and the Clippers are a carefully crafted lineup for the Nets.

Don't look at the Nets' 74 wins and 12-1 playoffs to enter the finals. It seems invincible, but every time the fans return with a full load, the players are behind the burden. Nurkic is also the team An important and difficult to replace role in the rotation. His injury is not easy to be replaced.

The timeout came back and the game continued. Covington showed off when he came on the field, Curry held the ball in the middle, Porzingis stepped forward to pick and roll to create a breakthrough space for him, Embiid stepped up to defend Curry, Porzingis resolutely followed, Harris was attracted to the attention and chose to retract. Covington received the ball from the outside and made a resolute three-pointer, widening the point difference to 4 points.

Covington's defense is not as good as Chasing Dream Green, and he doesn't have the talent to organize offenses on the offensive end. Compared with Green, his advantage lies in his one-handed three-pointer. In fact, his shooting percentage in the regular season is not high, and his 33.5% shooting percentage can only be said to be passable. However, in the preparations for the finals, Stevens deliberately arranged for him to practice the three-pointer, allowing him to take more resolute shots from beyond the three-point line.

The Clippers are attacking, and the ball still came to Durant. At this moment, the man defending him has become Covington. Leonard has a heavier task on the offensive end, but the defensive end is still appropriate. Free him as well.

Compared with Leonard's clean defense, Covington is more inclined to use his body to oppress the opponent, but Durant, as the league's top outside killer, is versatile in eighteen martial arts and can deal with various defenses. Shaking, an open scoring opportunity flashed, and he rushed to the basket decisively. Fortunately, Porzingis made up the defense in time and interfered with Durant's shot. At the basket, it was Ku who was desperately stuck to protect the rebound. inside.

Although he is a superstar, Curry rarely pampers him. The more critical the game is, the more he invests in the game.

Back on the defensive end, Rivers began to arrange for Fernandez to double-team Curry. This is actually a risky move. After all, starting to double-team means that the Clippers will increase their defensive strength, increase their rotation, and definitely consume more energy. But the problem Yes, the Clippers don't have the capital to compete with the Nets.

Regardless of Nurkic's injury, the Nets should still have the advantage over personnel reserves. However, Rivers' double-teaming this round played a role. Curry scored the ball in time, but after three passes and two downs, after the ball came to Covington's hands, there was still stagnation. The ball is passed to JR, who throws the catcher, but not surprisingly, he misses.

Embiid protected the rebound and sent a pass. Durant made a quick break to assist Fernandez to complete the dunk.

In the Cavaliers for more than a year, his performance was average. Many people also underestimated Fernandez, thinking that he had eaten the benefits of the Nets' tactical system, and his real strength may not be worthy of a salary of 15 million. However, after coming to Durant After being around, Fernandez once again became the right-hand man around the superstar.

In fact, in 2014, Fernandez was more inclined to stay in New York and did not want to go to Cleveland. It's just that the contract offered by the Nets is far less lucrative than the Cavaliers. What is even more exciting to Fernandez is that Jiang Mingliang directly offered Leonard a contract extension with a maximum salary. In contrast, Fernandez is still the team's No. 2 scorer Well, this made him particularly unhappy. Although it turned out that Leonard was fully worth the money Jiang Mingliang gave him, if he is willing to pay the luxury tax, he can keep Fernandez, and they even have the opportunity to join forces for three consecutive championships. In the 1415 season, if Fernandez is there, can the Nets compete with the 76ers? No one knows!

After a few more rounds, the Nets still maintained a weak lead, and the two sides entered a duel in the rotation. The Clippers replaced Rivers, Jordan Hamilton, and Bai Ade. The Nets replaced Dinwiddie, O'Neal, Carter, and O'Quinn.

Controlled more possessions on the offensive end. Dragic, who was suppressed enough by Curry, began to play at this time. He is a more American guard among whites. He is especially good at using pick-and-rolls to find opportunities to complete offenses and physical confrontation. It may not be strong, but his excellent sense of rhythm and comprehensive offensive skills can still help him score.

Compared with Nurkic, O'Quinn is first of all because he is not tall enough, and he relies more on strength and enthusiasm to play. Secondly, he is also a "brave and foolish" type on the defensive end, and is more likely to be cheated and fouled.

Little Rivers has become another sharp knife in the Clippers lineup. His offensive efficiency is relatively average, and he is even a little brainless in many cases, but his repeated impacts have greatly damaged the resilience of the Nets' defensive formation.

For the Nets, the offense mainly relies on Dinwiddie. In fact, after Piersby was excluded from the playoff list, the pressure on the Nets' bench was indeed more on Dinwiddie. When Qi is on the court, his low-post offense can help relieve some pressure, but he is now reimbursed for the season. Fans are surprised to find that the Nets' luxurious bench lineup does not have many ball-holding points.

Objectively speaking, a player like Joe Harris, at least the current Joe Harris, is really not suitable to appear in the finals list. From the perspective of strength, he is indeed not as good as Pierce in helping the team. But how to put it, Pierce still behaved very lazy in the games where the team hit the winning streak. If the team does not deal with him, it will also be a blow to the team's morale. Stevens didn't regret it, and Jiang Mingliang supported him unconditionally.

Seeing that the team was in an unfavorable situation, Stevens made substitution adjustments, replacing O'Neal and O'Quinn with JR Smith and West. The team's inside protection fell further, but the offensive end was enriched. Attack tactics. Although JR has been promoted to the main force in the Nets, the former super sixth man has not forgotten his previous style of play, and West's appearance, in addition to improving the team's offense, also exposed the weakness of the inside .

It depends on whether you, little Rivers, are fooled!

After West came on the field, he immediately helped the team on the offensive end. He caught the ball at the free throw line. After that, Bai Ade was afraid of his mid-range shooting ability and chose to leave the penalty area to defend. West handed it over to JR on the outside. , the latter forcibly wiped Rivers along the baseline and scored a layup.

Compared with making fouls, he is more willing to prove himself with difficult scores,
