Build a Dream Dynasty

Back at home, the Nets ushered in the Orlando Magic, which had played against each other in the preseason. The Magic has strengthened their lineup this season, and it seems that they even have the strength to hit the top four in the Eastern Conference. However, since the start of the game, the team's record has not risen but has fallen. Bledsoe's joining has strengthened the team's backcourt impact, and at the same time it seems to have brought many discordant factors. To put it simply, the ball There is not enough power.

The boss of the team, Kevin Love, is an insider who doesn't pay much attention to the possession of the ball. Turnover jump shots after low-post singles are only occasionally done. Most of the scoring methods are mid-range and long-range shots and second attacks at the basket. Other players rely heavily on ball possession to find touch. Although Vucevic has a good shooting ability, his biggest capital is the singles after pulling away. Oladipo is a typical guard who needs the ball to attack the basket. Ingles only looks like a player who does not need A pure shooter in possession of the ball, in fact, he is a Turkoglu-type playmaker who needs to find touch through possession of the ball.

The Magic's ball rights are mainly assigned to Ingles, supplemented by Love to organize the team's offense, and the overall harmony is fairly harmonious. Hastily inserting a Bledsoe who also needs to have the ball in his hand to play his own characteristics, the Magic's offense has become chaotic.

However, after the game started, the fans at the Barclays Center did not enjoy the team's pleasing offense as usual, but listened to the blacksmithing competition for a long time. The problem with the Nets is George. Facing his teammate Bledsoe, who once fought side by side with the Nets, George has an absolute advantage in height and strength. It is not a big problem to use his ability to overwhelm the opponent. . However, Vucevic protected the Magic's penalty area, and George's mid-range and long-range shots in this quarter felt cold. He came up with a four-game streak. In the entire first quarter, he only made 1 of 7 shots. Tragedy very.

The Magic's offense in the first quarter was equally bad. Relying on off-ball screens and constantly running outside to find opportunities to shoot, but the Nets players can always keep up with the rhythm. Bledsoe and Oladipo's shooting ability is relatively average. Breaking into the basket against the tall and long Porzingis is really not a smart move.

In the first quarter of the game, the two sides scored 21:21. For the Nets, the score was too low to watch.

As soon as they replaced the substitutes in the second quarter, the Nets immediately surpassed the score. On their side, the bench was the weakest in recent years, but the Magic's bench was weaker than them. The general manager of the Magic, Hunter, is actually quite smart. He found Damian Lee and Daniel House, who were abandoned by the Nets, from the Nets' summer league lineup. Although the Nets are full of undrafted picks, Van Vleet and Wood were originally just substitutes. Fanny Smith, who has not been reused much until now, is a substitute among the substitutes. People are still slowly adapting and growing up. The team is very patient with their cultivation, while the Magic team is in a hurry to go to the doctor.

Relying on the advantage of overall strength, the Nets firmly controlled the situation in the second quarter, leading 52 to 45 by 7 points at halftime.

In the third quarter of the game, George finally found his hand on the Nets side. Facing the defense of Oladipo or Ingles, or making a mid-range shot, he scored 12 points in a single quarter and led the The team expanded the point difference to more than 15 points and completely took the initiative in the game. For the Magic, although Love scored four three-pointers like a god in the second half to help the team stop the bleeding, the team's two white insiders were still no match for George, Leonard, and Porzingis. With the constant impact, Porzingis was forced to take off when he was stuck in the position by Love and it was very inconvenient to take off.

The final score was fixed at 112:99. The Nets won at home. After two consecutive losses, they ushered in another three consecutive victories. The team's performance returned to a high level of 9 wins and 2 losses, tied with the Cavaliers for the Eastern Conference one.

The Nets can achieve such good results in the absence of Curry. In addition to their own strength and Stevens' adjustment in place, another key point that has to be said is that the team's schedule in the opening stage is indeed not bad. , the top strong teams Clippers, Bucks, and Cavaliers have not encountered it for the time being, and the second-tier strong teams Spurs, Jazz, and the 76ers only defeated the 76ers when the whole army assaulted them. Of course, after all, Curry will be absent for 6 to 8 weeks, nearly a third of the season. If minor injuries are needed, it may take longer. It is always impossible to play against weak teams.

. . . . . .

After sending away the Magic, the Nets ushered in the Memphis Grizzlies at home. After being a force that cannot be ignored in the West for several consecutive years, the Grizzlies have successfully "reinforced" the team's weakest wing position this season. , signed Chandler Parsons with a 5-year 120 million contract. This signing is likely to enter the NBA history junk contract list in the future, because Parsons has already missed the game due to injury at the beginning of the season. . The big contract offered by the Grizzlies seems to be a wrong bet.

The Grizzlies signed Parsons obviously had high expectations for the new season. However, if this kind of signing is wrong, it will really destroy all hopes of a team. This is what the Grizzlies are doing right now. The situation, the team gave up a number of good role players in order to make room for signing Parsons, which greatly reduced the strength of the team's bench, and his injury made the team only send Singler to top the starting small forward. In terms of position, a white player with inaccurate three-pointers, weak athletic ability, and average strength and skills, if there is anything worthy of praise, he plays harder and can shoot some three-pointers from time to time. If you Don't hold out any hope for him, he can still get two,

It is simply a fantasy to expect this kind of player to fight Leonard at the small forward position. None of the speed, strength, and skills can match Leonard. The only way to meet Singler is to be defeated by Leonard. Virtue eats it alive.

Of course, the decline of the Grizzlies is not only reflected in the small forward position. In fact, the Grizzlies at their peak have never had a strong small forward. Battier and Prince are relatively qualified, but Not good. Gay is very capable, but his style of play is not very compatible with other teammates. Others, such as Jeff Green, performed very averagely in the team. The decline of the Grizzlies is all-round. Tony Allen's athletic ability has declined. Not only is the defense completely gone, but the offense that could have been occasionally outstanding is now basically cleared. It can be compared with Robertson of the Nets. After supporting the team's offense for several years, Randolph has also begun to decline sharply this season. Since last season, Randolph has expanded his offensive range and even tried to start shooting three-pointers. The transformation effect is average, and his threat outside the three-point line is not very great.

Randolph's decline makes Conley and Gasol Jr. need to take more on the offensive end. At present, Conley can still ensure efficiency while increasing production, and Jr. Gasol, he really does not have the qualities of his big brother. Offensive ability, except for one-handed shooting, other scoring methods are somewhat lackluster.
