Build a Dream Dynasty

Chapter 91 Reimbursement for the season

The Nets, which had been "recuperating" for a period of time for the playoffs, switched to an all-out mode. Obviously, this caught the 76ers by surprise. In addition, the referee's whistle has become stricter, and the 76ers, who have lost their home standards, will once again expose the problem of poor offense that has plagued the team for a season. In just half a quarter, they squandered their 12-point lead.

In the Nets' 18:6 attack wave, George made the most of the contribution, making 4 of 5 shots and scoring 9 points. After defeating Iguodala head-on, George once again gave himself extra points. Although the best rookie of the season belongs to Griffin 100%, but the best rookie in 2010 can only be Paul George.

In addition to the best rookie team, George also entered the selection of the best defensive team. In this award that requires accumulation of qualifications, George can be valued and recognized, which is enough to prove that he is on the defensive end of the team this season. important. Jiang Mingliang gave up the opportunity to take Ku Ritian under his command because of his role on the defensive end and maintaining the team's offensive and defensive balance!

Another Nets hopeful to gain some honor this season is Bledsoe. Bledsoe, who served as the team's starting point guard in his rookie season, averaged 9.6 points, 4.7 assists, and 1.7 steals per game for the team. He has a high probability of being selected for the rookie second team. Of course, his role on the defensive end is not reflected in the data. This is also an important reason why he can always sit firmly as the team's starting point guard.

Exhaling for Brook Lopez, driving the 76ers out of the playoffs resounded in the ears of every player in the Nets, all-out defense, all-out offense, throughout the third quarter, the 76ers The team was completely suppressed, and the 12-point advantage was not only lost, but even at the end of the third session, the 76ers fell behind by 8 points.

With a net win of 20 points in a single quarter, the Nets used their performance to prove that they are not playing hard, and they can still make the 76ers regret it.

Stevens' thoughts drifted more to the hospital. Although the Nets seem to have a lot of insiders, in the playoffs, facing the Celtics, Lopez is really the only one he can count on. Whiteside is fine as a surprise soldier, but if you let him carry Garnett directly, a veteran like O'Neill is no different from sending him to death.

"In the fourth quarter, the 76ers' counterattack will inevitably be more rapid. There are only seven or eight games left in the season, and the gap widens to two games. For the 76ers, it is equivalent to being kicked out of the playoffs with one foot. But currently The referee sees the smell of gunpowder between us, and the whistle will be stricter. If the opponent starts to make a big move, we must respond while protecting ourselves. Remember, they are more anxious than us." Stevens clapped his hands to encourage everyone road.

How desperate the 76ers are, look at their lineup at the beginning of the fourth quarter. Holiday, Louis Williams, Turner, Thaddeus Young, Hawes. Except for Iguodala and Brand resting off the court to save their energy, the rest will face off with all their strength. And the super sixth man Lu Wei is the most powerful offensive point of this 76ers.

It is not uncommon for players like Lu Wei to be put on the bench as the sixth man because of tactical and defensive problems in the league. Lu Wei is a favorite of Stevens. The reason is very simple. , is also a convulsive scorer. Compared with Crawford's bullying resume and JR Smith's trouble-making personality all day long, Lu Wei is more able to fight tough battles and is more restrained in his private life (although he has two wives).

For the 76ers whose lineup structure lacks stable output points, the changes brought about by Lu Wei's debut are obvious. The mid-range jumper after the pick-and-roll, the low-handed layup that broke into the inside, carried Carter's defensive throw and scored and scored 2+1. In just four minutes, Lu Wei scored 7 points, and the efficiency is quite good .

However, Lu Wei's wonderful performance could not bring the 76ers a victory. It wasn't anyone else who punctured their dreams for this game. The former 76ers veteran Korver used three three-pointers in the fourth quarter to completely ruin his old club's playoff dreams.

Many people may not know that the starting point of Korver's NBA career is not the 76ers, but the Nets. In the 2002 draft, the Nets introduced Korver into the league with the 51st pick in the second round, but later the team exchanged his signing rights with the 76ers for $125,000. This incident used to be a thorn in Korver's heart. However, time has passed and the Nets have now changed owners. Jiang Mingliang is very good to Korver. The four-year fully guaranteed big contract is enough to pull out the original thorn.

In one game, the Pacers defeated the Western powerhouse Trail Blazers. So far, the Pacers will open the gap with the ninth 76ers in the East to two games with 7 games left in the season. The situation is very good .

After the game, the other players returned to the hotel to rest under the arrangement of the staff, and Stevens rushed to the hospital as soon as possible to visit Lopez.

By the time Stevens arrived at the hospital, Lopez had already completed the examination and was infusion in the VIP ward.

"How's Brook?" Stevens came to the doctor's office and asked.

"Not in good condition. Cracked ribs. Needs to rest for a while."

Stevens' face became ugly, and he asked, "How much time do you need to rest for the most pessimistic words!"

The doctor thought about it and said: "The recovery period varies from person to person. It usually takes 2 months, and optimistically it is estimated to be 1 and a half months!"

"It's so fucking foggy!" Stevens, who has always been more gentle, couldn't help but cursed. The playoffs are approaching, and Lopez has suffered such an injury. How can this be played?

Theoretically speaking, if the Nets reach the Finals, or if they are lucky, Lopez may be able to come back in the Eastern Conference Finals. But, is this TM possible?

He has been working as a basketball coach for several years, and this is the first time Stevens has encountered such a situation today, and it really is. . . . . . .

Reining in his mind, Stevens had to pretend to be strong. Whether it's in front of Lopez or in front of his own players, he can't panic. It's hard for him to accept this kind of thing, and it's even harder for Lopez to accept it. The other players also need him to comfort them.

A day later, the official website of the Nets was the first to expose the news that "Lopez has a fractured rib and will be reimbursed for the season". Immediately afterwards, NBA officials and major media also reported on this matter and gave Lopez blessings At the same time, it also analyzed the impact of the Nets losing Lopez.

For any team, losing the team's big/secondary leader before the playoffs starts is an irreparable loss. What's more, Lopez's significance to the Nets is not only reflected in the lineup. In addition to Carter who has gone and returned, Lopez is the oldest player in the team and the spiritual leader of the entire team. One of the most reliable points of the team's inside defense.
