Build a Dream Dynasty

Came to the Nets full of depression, practiced closely with the team for a game, and Teodosic was placed in the team's starting list, which shows how much Stevens can't stand Fan Fritter.

Maybe he has potential, but he is definitely not a qualified candidate at the moment, even, he is far away!

Highlights of the European magician's previous games have gone viral on the Internet. Judging from the only game records, his offensive performance is still good, especially the passing, which tastes like white chocolate. His problem is mainly defense. Plantar fasciitis has a great impact on his lateral movement. This kind of injury is different from ordinary injuries. There is no way to cure it at all, and it can only be recuperated slowly. However, after the Lone Ranger sat on the bench for a long time, his physical condition is at a relatively good level. Maybe Teodosic himself doesn't like to admit it, but playing a sixth-man role, playing 20 to 25 minutes per game has actually benefited his own career.

Home game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, whose combat effectiveness has continued to decline this season in order to save money, is a big test for Teodosic. The opponent's point guard position is Westbrook, the hottest player in the league right now. . After Durant and Griffin left the team one after another, Westbrook became the only core of the Thunder, while Mayo and Wiggins, who were traded by Griffin, became the team's starting wing combination. Twin tower configuration, Motaijunas and Olynyk.

The Thunder's adjustment to the lineup has the effect of "intentionally planting flowers but not blooming, but unintentionally planting willows and willows to make shade". In Griffin's trade, Wiggins' physical talent exploded, and Wiggins with high potential was supposed to be the existence that the Thunder's management placed high hopes on. However, after coming to the Thunder, Wiggins' career has regressed in all directions , the statistics are not even as good as when I was a rookie. Although I can still get an average of 14.2 points per game by relying on talent, but the shooting percentage is 42%, and the three-point shooting percentage is 34%. Tactical status can be said, but Mayo, who has been abandoned in the Knicks for some years, is really suitable for Westbrook. He has strong shooting ability, singles ability, physical confrontation, relatively poor physical strength, and cannot digest more possessions. To put it simply, it can help Westbrook throw the ball and help Westbrook deal with the situation he can't solve, but he doesn't have enough physical fitness to grab Westbrook's possession and limelight. If his physical fitness is better, there is basically no possibility of attacking Westbrook. He is just right to grab the strong, and sometimes it is also an advantage for players.

Players from both sides played, but the loudest cheer went to Curry who came to watch the game at home in a plaster cast. This is nothing to say, Curry is the king of the Barclays Center. Even Jiang Mingliang hugged left and right, with his wife and elder brother. . . . . The sister-in-law came to the scene, and there was no more attention than Curry and Ayesha.

Without Curry's injuries this season, where would it be Westbrook's turn to be the number one point guard? That's on the mind of all Nets fans. Moreover, even if you asked fans of the other 28 teams to choose between Curry and Westbrook, it is estimated that 88% of them would choose Curry.

Once upon a time, Detonator, who even selected three MVP-level superstars, was once the benchmark of the league's management. There may not even be a second such legend in history. The three MVP-level players are just distributed in the draft for three consecutive years. It's a rare thing at a conference. However, after Jiang Mingliang took charge of the Nets, many things have changed. The Thunder reached their peak in 2012 and 2013, but stepped down from the altar step by step, while the Nets climbed step by step, steadily Grasping the bonus of his own lineup, he steadily transformed the advantages into honors.

In this game, if Curry is not absent due to injury, it is conservatively estimated that it will be a six-four open situation.

Starting the game, the Nets have five players: Teodosic, George, Leonard, West, Porzingis.

Thunder five: Westbrook, Mayo, Wiggins, Motiejunas, Olynik.

Motiejunas won with a jump ball, the Thunder took the lead and opened up the outside formation.

Westbrook took the ball for a while, changed direction and went to the right to easily pass Teodosic, and made a sudden stop at a high position. George chased up from the side, and Westbrook knew that the two flanks of the Nets were gibbons. The defense area was large, so he didn't force a shot. Going to the basket, attracting supplementary defense and not shooting, the ball was distributed to Mayo at 60 degrees on the right. Mayo didn't waste the opportunity and hit an open three-pointer, 3-0.

Donovan is a coach who has fought in the NCAA. If you want to say that he has no tactical attainments, it is a lie. However, his character is not tough enough, and he doesn't have the courage to point out Westbrook's problems. The team's performance is also very dependent on Westbrook's self-consciousness.

The Nets attacked, and the formation was also stretched. Teodosic dribbled the ball across the half and passed it to the middle. George ran to the bottom corner without stopping at all. The embodiment of tactical literacy, the biggest advantage of the Nets in this game is George's point against Mayo. As a point guard, the most important thing is to send the ball to the team's strong point in time to maximize this advantage.

George broke through with the ball and failed to pass Bowen in one step. He leaned back at 45 degrees. Turned around in the middle and made a jumper with a backward jump, opened the distance by jumping back, and made a hit.

The Thunder attacked Teodosic again. George is tall enough to be difficult for the Thunder to defend against, but his speed is also a disadvantage against small guards. After a jumper, the interference missed, West protected the rebound, and handed the ball to Teodosic. The latter watched the Thunder's retreat, but still stabilized the rhythm and played positional warfare.

Leonard took the ball on the right side, Motiejunas consciously approached and emptied West, Leonard turned to the baseline, Mayo also retreated to the penalty area, and the three surrounded Leonard's pass The ball was off, Teodosic missed an open three-pointer from the left corner, and Olynik got the rebound.

The ability to play under double-teams has always been Leonard's weakness. Just now West was obviously in an open position, and this veteran has a shot and can respond. If he receives the ball, he will be a great threat.

Westbrook went to the frontcourt and passed to Mayo who was pulled outside the left three-point line. Motie Junas in the middle gave Wiggins an off-ball screen to help him get rid of George and run to the right. At this time, Mayo leaned against Lai Leonard passed the ball from close range.

After Wiggins received the ball, he took a step and Porzingis, who was slow to change defenses, opened up a space for one man, a mid-range jumper, and the ball went hollow into the net. 5 to 2.

Relatively speaking, Wiggins' mid-range is good among wing players, but if you let him shoot three-pointers from a fixed point, he will feel uncomfortable. Can't grasp the open shooting opportunities created by Westbrook, which is why many Thunder fans don't like Wiggins.

The Nets attacked. In this offense, Teodosic did not hand over the ball after halftime, but actively called Porzingis to come out to play pick-and-rolls, looking for opportunities to single-play Olynyk, and then attracted Westbrook to attack and score. The ball was given to Porzingis who went down, and the latter gave it to West in time against Motiejunas who was defending, and the latter scored a layup from close range.

The Thunder have a bad problem on the defensive end, that is, they like to pinch the ball holder, and then constantly rotate to make up for the position. One advantage of this is to increase the probability of the ball holder making mistakes, which is convenient for the Thunder to complete the counterattack. This is also the Thunder's favorite. "Thunderbolt" type of offense, but when encountering a point guard with steady ball control and timely delivery of the ball, this kind of thinking can be easily cracked. Teodosic is undoubtedly this kind of point guard. Westbrook's instinctive choice is After the pick-and-roll is flanked, the gap will be created.

The Thunder attacked, and Westbrook was sieged near the penalty area, passed to Mayo on the outside, missed the shot under George's interference, and Porzingis got the rebound again. In the transition between offense and defense, Teodosic pushed the fast break very quickly. George caught the ball and rushed to the basket. He didn't score the ball, but it caused Westbrook's foul.

George made two free throws and the score returned to 5:5.

On the Thunder's side, Westbrook forced a breakthrough and was double-teamed, and split out. Motiejunas, who has the ability to shoot three-pointers, shot a three-pointer from a wide open area. The ball bounced out of the frame and George took the rebound.

The opportunity has actually come up, the problem is that they can't make shots. The strange thing about the Thunder team is that, except for Durant, Mayo and a few others, most players, even if they have good shooting ability, come After the Thunder, the offensive efficiency will decline.

Porzingis continued to cover for Teodosic. This time Westbrook bypassed the pick-and-roll and chased. Teodosic made a 45-degree emergency stop and returned to the middle. The distance was a bit far, and it was too late to take off with a step to interfere with the shot, and watched Porzingis hit the shot.

The Thunder team attacked, and Westbrook was lucky, but he never found a chance. Finally, he turned around on the right side and made a fallback jumper, which was interfered by Teodosic and shot out of the frame.

Westbrook, who performed extremely well in the previous month, seemed to be somewhat restrained when facing the Nets. The picture of bursting out of the Nets in his imagination did not appear. On the contrary, the problem of unstable shooting was greatly magnified by the Nets. Powerful, and on the defensive end, some can't see Teodosic. It can be clearly seen from the game that Teodosic's conduction ball helped the Nets create a more comfortable offensive environment and in his data Statistically, there is only one assist record.

After completing a wave of 13:2 attacks, the score came to 15:7. Donovan had to call a timeout to suspend the current momentum of the Nets and readjust the team's tactics. After returning from the timeout, the Turk Kanter came on the field, which is a signal for the Thunder to strengthen the team's offense.

The threat of Kanter's offensive position in the interior is not too much to say that he is ranked in the top five in the league, and he even has a reliable mid-range shot. If it were five or even ten years ago, it would be unreasonable to say that he could reach the All-Star level Some people believe him, but his problem is that he defends tens of thousands of people. In addition to the top defense, whether it is assisting defense or switching defense, it is quite touching. The Nets' offense and Kanter's appearance almost made the Thunder's inside defense equal to 4.5 defenses and 5 defenses.

Sure enough, after Kanter came on the field, the game scene became much better. After all, Olynik still puts defense first, plus he has a basket on the offensive end, and Kanter and Westbrook’s pick-and-roll offense is more threatening, and the offensive rebounds are even more threatening. Aggressive and slower to return to defense. . . . . .

There is more space on the field, and Teodosic's passing is also more coquettish. His points in the fast break also make people see the shadow of white chocolate, just like Curry hitting a three-pointer, which made the fans in the audience climax.

The NBA still needs some genius passing sometimes!

In the first quarter of the game, Teodosic impressed the audience of the Nets with his performance. They didn't care that Teodosic was from Eastern Europe. As long as the player performed well, he could be from Russia!

Teodosic's outstanding performance has also made the Nets' bench lineup more balanced. The old ball Picho Johnson does not need to come on the field early to make up for the vacancy in the point guard position, and there are defensive fighters like Robertson next to him to make up for his defense. Insufficient investment on the offensive end, you can invest more energy on the offensive end, and the Thunder's bench lineup this season is really a pit, plus Westbrook has tried his best to prove himself this season, and only rested after the end of the game In 4 minutes, Westbrook reappeared.

Perhaps this lineup is built around Westbrook. Westbrook is really comfortable playing in this lineup. The Thunder's strategy is still to pinch the ball holder on the line. Compared with Teodosic's calm handling, Fan Ver Lite was at least two grades behind, and Westbrook also completed several steals, advances, and dunks. In 4 minutes, the 12-point lead was reduced to 3 points in an instant, and Stevens replaced the main player again.

The gap between Teodosic and Van Vleet is also very obvious. As soon as he came on the field, the team's offense in the frontcourt immediately became more lubricated, and the advantage of the wing position was maximized. Leonard took Viking raw in the low post. After that, facing Motiejunas' supplementary defense, he completed the split dunk and took the initiative to complete the high-five with Teodosic in the process of returning to the defense. A great encouragement.

Compared with the more uncomfortable time in the Lone Ranger, Teodosic felt comfortable in the first game of the Nets.

It has to be said that compared with other teams in the NBA, the Nets are very special in their attraction to international players and young players. Except for Ray Allen, it seems that no veteran can succeed in the Nets, but there are many young players who have shown confidence in the Nets and tapped their potential, and Fernandez, Nurkic, etc. The European players that the team did not play for various reasons seem to always find the desire to stay in the NBA after the Nets, which is also very interesting.

And now, Teodosic has been added to the list.
