Super Lord of the Rings
Chapter 150 [Starting losing streak]
The preseason continued, the Nets defeated the Knicks in the second game, and the derby had the upper hand.
After the Knicks sent Sprewell away, their outside offensive power declined. They must consider making a trade, otherwise it will be difficult to make the playoffs in the new season.
After two consecutive victories, the situation changed suddenly.
The Nets lost to the Eagles, Pacers, Bucks, and Celtics one after another, and only narrowly beat the 76ers at the end. They achieved a record of 3 wins and 4 losses in the preseason.
The only new bright spot for the Nets is Kyler Korver. In the absence of Wang Jun, he got a lot of performance opportunities and became an outside shooting point after Kittles left the field.
Korver is not good at attacking with the ball, and his defense is sloppy, but he shoots very stably. He can score as long as he gets an open space. Standing on the outside can open up space and attract defense.
Vandeweghe regretted not sending Korver to the 76ers on the day of the draft during the summer league, leaving a waste.
Now he is rejoicing that if Korver is exchanged for cash, the 76ers will make a lot of money.
Wang Jun was suspended from training internally, and he didn't even have to go to the arena. Because he claimed to be injured, he stopped shooting training and stayed in the apartment to exercise.
If it is other players, being bored at home all the time may affect their state, but Wang Jun will not. There are too many training methods given by the system, and he is usually too busy.
Wang Jun doesn't even go out of the house, and Abby will go shopping in a nearby supermarket to buy ingredients, and the two will cook at home together in the evening.
The two of them had a very sweet day together. It's just that Wang Jun doesn't know what Abby wants to investigate, and he doesn't know how to bring the relationship closer.
In fact, he only needs one affectionate confession; even a confession is not necessary, a direct kiss can do the trick, women long to be conquered in their bones.
A more tactful way is to give a gift. Women generally have no resistance to gifts from men. It's a pity that Wang Jun is an idiot. After winning the doll in the playground, he never officially gave Abby a gift.
Wang Jun put most of his energy into training, treated Abby as a guest, and kept a distance. Abby was a little dissatisfied.
Wang Jun respects Abby and thinks that if he can't be a male god, he can't match her.
But it seemed to Abby that he didn't like himself that much. You can't let girls take the initiative in this kind of thing, right?
Emotional intelligence is very low. Two people who like each other are often a long-distance love race.
During the break, the first phase of the new NBA season team strength list was announced.
The Nets are generally underestimated, ranking eighth after the Lakers, Spurs, Mavericks, Timberwolves, Kings, Pacers, Pistons and other teams.
After the preseason, the Nets signed Korver to a two-year contract, the same as Wang Jun's.
Korver proved himself. His tasks on the court are very simple, fixed-point three-pointers, running three-pointers, and helping teammates to open up space.
With the addition of shooting guard Brandon Armstrong, who was selected by the Rockets with the 23rd pick in the first round in 2001, the Nets do not seem to lack outside perimeter. When Wang Jun came back, there were four No. 2 players.
The Nets started the journey of the new season with hidden internal conflicts.
In the first game, they challenged the Toronto Raptors away.
Unfortunately, the Nets had a problem at the No. 2 position in Game 1.
Vince Carter blasted Kittles out and scored 39 points and 5 rebounds. Even though the Nets had an advantage in other positions, they still lost the game 87-90.
The Nets couldn't defend against Carter's singles. At the critical moment, Kidd scored the ball, Kittles missed a three-pointer, and failed to drag the game into overtime.
At the last moment, Scott had a problem with his formation. He asked Kittles, who played for 39 minutes, to complete the final attack. Korver, who obviously has the ability to stabilize three-pointers, but who is full of energy, can only guard the drinking fountains on the bench and didn't play for a minute.
Back at home for the Nets to play the Timberwolves, Kidd showed off his power, scoring a triple-double of 24 points, 11 rebounds and 14 assists, leading the team to its first win of the season.
The problem of the Nets is still serious, relying too much on the performance of stars,
And Kittles is not in good shape. Facing the "madman" Sprewell, he was blown up again. He made 2 of 10 shots and scored only 4 points.
Except for Mourning, the other substitute players were playing soy sauce and played for about 10 minutes without any performance.
The Nets lost to the Wizards in the third game. Kittles was completely blocked by Larry Hughes. He made 2 of 13 shots and only 6 points with free throws.
"Mosquito" is in a bad state, and the fans can see it clearly, but Scott still insists on not letting Korver and other substitutes come on the field. The degree of persistence is comparable to Conan's insistence on not developing...
Doug Overton played for 5 minutes, and Korver still played zero games. Kittles played 38 minutes, which was outrageously inefficient. Kidd's 30 points and 9 assists couldn't fill this big hole.
Back at home, the Nets lost to the Rockets happily. 75 to 86, the offensive end misfired across the board.
Jefferson, Kidd, and Kittles played more than 40 minutes, and Mourning played 28 minutes, defending Yao Ming in the low post. Yao Ming is playing ball, Mourning is playing life.
Only one day later, the Nets lost Game 5 to the Pacers at home.
Kittles, Kidd, and Jefferson played for more than 40 minutes.
Martin was sidelined with a shoulder injury, and the fringe Aaron Williams who replaced him suddenly became Scott's favorite.
Aaron played 42 minutes, more than the previous four games combined. Although he performed well with 15 points, 11 rebounds and 2 assists, he is an inside coolie player who is good at rebounding and blocking shots.
Rodney Rodgers, who has rich experience and can shoot three-pointers, actually sat on the sidelines for the whole game, with all his energy but nowhere to use it.
When leaving the arena, Rogers saw the trash can on the side of the road, and had a strong urge to pick up the lid and throw it at Scott's face as a shield. When the cover bounces back, he will continue to shake it, and continue to shake it! (You're not that Rogers!)
After five games, Wang Jun's suspension period ended.
The Nets played back-to-back against the Celtics, a playoff team.
This was the occasion when he was employing people, but Scott did not call Wang Jun to come back, and announced that he would continue to suspend training.
The move angered Kidd, and a heated argument broke out between the two in the locker room.
"1 win and 4 losses. We were the champions of the Eastern Conference last season. Now you don't want to make the playoffs? As long as you use him, you can definitely strengthen your offense."
"I don't need undisciplined people. Unless he comes to confess his mistake, he won't play." Scott stared at Kidd and said expressionlessly.
"I'm so sorry that you were not elbowed to death by the Pistons when you were playing. Are you glad you are too soft, so they don't care about you?" Kidd shouted.
"You're taking it too far!"
"That's because you're too stupid."
Scott was insulted in public, his eyes were wide open, but he didn't have the courage to punch Kidd directly.
The reason he gave himself was that the coach and the core of the team were fighting, and it would be a scandal if it spread out. This character sounds good, but it is unassuming and low-key; it is ugly, it lacks blood.
He only saw Wang Jun's shortcomings, and when he saw Wang Jun's rebuttal, he felt that it was difficult to manage, it was a thorn, but he consciously ignored Wang Jun's bravery and straightforwardness.
Scott is still the head coach after all, and in the end Kidd couldn't arrange for Wang Jun to play.
In the sixth game, because he was dissatisfied with Scott, Kidd played badly, and Jefferson was also blown up by Pierce. The hardest person was actually Mourning, who scored 14 points and 6 rebounds.
It's a pity that the Nets still collapsed in the final quarter, losing to the Celtics in an away game, and suffered a four-game losing streak!
