Build a Dream Dynasty

Time came to late November, and the Nets went to Milwaukee to challenge the Bucks, the strongest opponent since the start of the season. JR Smith, who switched to the Bucks in the summer, ushered in his old club. Compared with other old players, JR Smith is somewhat hostile to the Nets. How can I say that the Nets have indeed saved JR Smith's almost collapsed career, but JR's personal life in the past two years is also the most uncomfortable. JR, with a spell of getting home before 2am, can't have fun at nightclubs. Although he won the honor in the end, he was unhappy after all. At the same time, after receiving the corresponding honors, when JR thought that he could get a big contract from the Nets as a matter of course, and enjoy everything he should have as a hero with peace of mind, the Nets did not give him what he wanted. Eventually it forced him to come to the bitter cold of Milwaukee.

Milwaukee and New York, everyone knows how big the gap between these two cities is! The nightclubs here are full of big rural girls, which are far worse than Rihanna who appears in New York nightclubs! Even if the Nets finally upgraded the second position to George, jr is still very unhappy.

But for the Nets, the biggest threat to the Bucks is not jr, but Antetokounmpo. Kidd adjusted the team's normal rotation a game before this game, giving Antetokounmpo more playing time and allowing him to maintain better physical strength in this game.

At the beginning of the game, Sanders won the jump ball. After Antetokounmpo received the ball, he immediately turned on the charge mode and went to the basket to open Leonard's defensive dunk.

In the playoffs last season, the Nets arranged for Leonard to compete with Antetokounmpo throughout the entire playoffs. In the end, this strategy was extremely successful. Leonard overfulfilled the task, not only completing the challenge against Antetokounmpo Frozen, he can still free his hands to play the role of a good fort on the outside, and made great contributions to the team's victory. This offseason, Antetokounmpo did not strengthen his shooting weaknesses, but continued to strengthen his strengths, and strengthened his static confrontation at the power forward position while maintaining his athletic ability covering the entire course.

Everyone has their own suitable development path. Antetokounmpo is very clear that he wants to make a living inside. Leonard's defense is more aimed at the flank position, and the confrontation attributes are different. Let Leonard block Antetokounmpo like last year. It's like asking for a sword without a boat.

The Nets attacked and started several games in a row. Van Vleet suddenly contributed a surprising operation. When Paul habitually thought that he would hand the ball to George on the wing to start the offense, Van Vleet Suddenly turned around and cut into the inside of the Bucks, facing Sanders' supplementary throw and scored the ball.

The ball was played unexpectedly, and even George patted Van Vleet's ass as encouragement when he returned to defense.

Being caught off guard by the rookie, Paul definitely wanted to find some ground. Looking back, Paul and Middleton played a pick-and-roll, looking for a small chance to get out of the way and score a mid-range shot.

Comprehensiveness and stability are Paul's biggest weapons. Compared with Curry, Paul may be somewhat lacking in independent offensive ability, but this disadvantage, the Bucks have "occasional All-Stars" like JR Smith and Middleton to help him Make up, it's not as troublesome as it looks. In the system of the Bucks, a group of spidermen plus Antetokounmpo, the defense machine, made up for Paul's lack on the defensive end, which relieved Paul's pressure on the defensive end a lot, which also allowed Paul to play in the game. In a sense, the deal West made back then was really a win-win for the Clippers and the Bucks. A good performance created a strong enemy for the Nets, and at the same time untied the Clippers' lineup, helping him rebuild the current team with a more competitive lineup.

Leonard and Porzingis picked and rolled in the middle, broke through with the ball, changed direction and jumped to get rid of Middleton from the right, JR Smith returned to the defense to make up, Leonard divided the ball to the bottom corner. George made an easy shot unattended and made a steady three-pointer.

On the surface, Porzingis only completed a pick-and-roll job, but in fact, it was precisely because of his mobility and shooting ability that he forced JR Smith to defend.

The Bucks attacked, and the Nets defended. Paul gave the ball to JR and asked him to single out George. JR called a pick-and-roll to get rid of George's defense. When George chose to defend around the screen, he turned back flexibly The angle of the shot was shaken, and George's center of gravity was also shaken, and then he made an easy mid-range shot.

As early as when George staggered, the fans on the scene were amazed, and after JR made a successful hit, the scene even burst into applause. I have to say that JR's shaking this time was quite beautiful.

JR Smith, who is crazy about some people, also sent out a brilliant performance on the defensive end. Facing George's breakthrough with the ball, he simply cut off the latter's dribble and distributed the ball to Antetokounmpo. Including, let Antetokounmpo speed up in this situation, even Bolt can't stop him.

Super defensive coverage, unparalleled counterattack threat, in the regular season, he can provide the team with too much. In the first quarter of the game, the double stars of the Nets couldn't hold back the stars of Brother Antetokounmpo. The Bucks ended the first quarter with a 34:28 lead of the Nets by 6 points.

The second quarter of the game is a contest between the bench lineups of the two sides. Throughout the summer, when everyone’s eyes were on the big contracts, the Bucks quietly upgraded the team’s bench lineup. The bench lineup of Bayless, Korver, Snell, Diaw, and McGee is extremely combative. , and the supplement to the starting lineup is very obvious. The French magician came to the team with a two-year 20 million contract. A master of playing with his brain, whether it is a pick-and-roll or a pass, can always help his teammates create a good shooting environment, which is really a talent. Bayless, Korver and others also frequently scored points under his combing, and even McGee can continuously stage dunks in the Nets' interior.

Just looking at this first half, the gap between the Nets and the Bucks may not even be smoothed by Curry. Or to put it another way, can the full Nets beat this Bucks? It's hard to tell!

In Jiang Mingliang's view, thanks to the team's trade for George, otherwise the Nets' 74-8 lineup last season minus JR Smith, Dinwiddie, Nurkic, Joe Harris, the introduction of Joe Johnson, Bros. Gordon is not necessarily the opponent of this Bucks. Especially Brother Antetokounmpo, unknowingly, the speed of growth has exceeded his imagination.

At 68:45, the Bucks led by 23 points at halftime. This is the largest point difference that the Nets have fallen behind at halftime in recent years. Only in the absence of Curry, the team was beaten by the Bucks like this Appearance, also true. . . . . . A little too much.

Of course, if you think about it carefully, this may be reasonable. The strength of the Nets is indeed enough to support them to compete for the strongest team in history, but most of the time in the league, there is no team that can compete in When the boss is not playing, he has been competing with the top teams in the league for a long time, and the Nets have not been strong enough to break the balance. Furthermore, the opponent in front of him has a perfect lineup, and the idea of ​​​​building a team for this Nets team is very obvious, and many points have been hit on the sore feet of this Nets team.

In the third quarter, the Nets still did not show convincing performance. The team's offensive tactics are not easy to play. In many cases, they can only rely on Leonard's singles to score points piecemeal. The Bucks formed an organic whole under Paul's tandem, and the point difference between the two sides remained at around 25 points, which also made the fourth quarter of the game without much suspense.

Both sides are strong teams. Jiang Mingliang has a good relationship with Mallory. Kidd is not only the third player in the history of the Nets, but also studied in Stevens' team. Therefore, there is no garbage time in the fourth quarter. Killed the Nets, especially JR Smith, who had a history of 58 tragedies. For the Nets, Gerald Green, who came off the bench, scored 12 points on 5 of 8 shots in the fourth quarter, helping the team pull the point difference back to within 20 points, helping the team regain some face, and finally , The Bucks beat the Nets 128:109 at home, ending another wave of 4 consecutive victories for the Nets. At the same time, they also tied the Nets in record. To the second position in the East.

A loss is not the end for the Nets. After all, the opponent is the top team in the Eastern Conference. It is the top three opponents on the team's way to compete for the championship. Even the fans are considerate of the team. Surprisingly, Curry even posted on ins to support his teammates.

There have been 13 games in the season, and the Nets have achieved 10 wins and 3 losses, which is actually not bad overall. Although the schedule is easy and the opponent's strength is average, considering that Curry only played 7 games, the team maintained a record of 4 wins and 2 losses in the next 6 games, including cutting off the Western powerhouse Nuggets. The team is really eye-catching.

At the team management meeting, Jiang Mingliang also affirmed the team's performance, and discussed the team's next trading plan with Thomas, Stevens, Kokoshkov and others.

In the past few years, the team has been in a strong stage. Therefore, there is not much desire to make transactions in the middle of the season. After all, stability is very important for a team. But this season, firstly, the team has indeed encountered some troubles, and secondly, the league after 16 years is also treacherous, with undercurrents surging. For Jiang Mingliang, there are still some opportunities to pick up the loopholes.

Leonard, George, Porzingis, Yi Jianlian, the Nets are now in the starting five on the field, four of them are good at shooting, which is not good for the team The mid-range is indeed the weakest defensive area of ​​most teams in the league. Many Nets players have the ability to work in this position. Positional attacks make it easier for the opponent to make targeted defenses. Therefore, the team must have players who can use breakthroughs to compress the opponent's defensive formation. At the same time, both Leonard and George lack the ability to organize offenses. Well, some organizational skills are required.

Stevens took a fancy to the European magician Teodosic, who performed mediocrely in the Lone Ranger. This king-level point guard from Europe appeared obviously dissatisfied after he came to the NBA. He was not reused by the team. Carlisle Obviously more reuse of Barea and Harris. What is even more troublesome for him is that the team is aiming to do poorly this season, which makes it difficult for Teodosic, who is used to winning in Europe, to accept. For him, giving up his high salary in Europe and coming to the NBA is to chase his dream, not to sit on the bench and suffer such humiliation.

"We have a good relationship with the Mavericks. We can talk about this deal." Jiang Mingliang hesitated for a moment, but still accepted the possibility of this deal.

The Mavericks are aiming to rebuild, and what they are eager for must be potential new stars, draft picks, and high-quality contracts that can be used for secondary transactions. The Nets have already traded away the team's first-round pick for 17 years, so if they want to In the transaction, the earliest active draft pick is the team's first-round pick in 2019. Although the strength of the Nets does not seem to be a matter of two or three years, in the NBA, no one can guarantee what will happen after two years. At the end of the round, it is a good choice for the Lone Ranger.

In addition to Teodosic, who has many uncertainties, Stevens has another promising player, Stephenson of the Pelicans.

This player is also a strange flower in the league. Jiang Mingliang vaguely remembers that other players may be system players. Fortunately, he is exclusive to the Pacers team. I can't play well anywhere. In the CBA, I have conflicts with my teammates because of the possession of the ball, but I can play well in the Pacers. This season, he switched from the Pacers to the Pelicans with a one-year contract of 8 million yuan to replace Eric Gordon who left. He is ready to show his talents and earn a big contract in the coming year. It's only been a few games, and there have been a lot of cerebral hemorrhage operations. With Holiday, the thick eyebrows can't pee in the same pot at all.

Playing well, Stephenson is also a representative of an all-round shooting guard. He can hit triple-doubles on the offensive end and carry James desperately on the defensive end. His problem is mainly his personality. From this point of view, he is a bit similar to JR Smith, who was rescued by the Nets in the first two seasons.

The Nets still have room for the salary cap, and eating Stephenson's contract raw is not a problem. But it is obviously not now. No matter how stupid the Pelicans are, it is impossible to put him on the shelf in a month. See.
