Super Lord of the Rings

Chapter 175 [Target to win the championship]

The Bucks relied on Reed's personal ability to open up the situation. He ran to catch the ball and flicked, changed direction to pass Martin, broke through the middle and dunked the basketball with one hand.

After one round, Reid singled out Jefferson on the left again and scored a jumper with an emergency stop.

Can make the team give up Ray Allen, Reed naturally has its own advantages. He is a left-handed player with comprehensive skills. He does not need to make reasonable offensive choices, and he can score with his ability.

However, it is impossible to defeat the Nets by only one person.

Under the leadership of Kidd, the Nets counterattacked sharply, and they stormed San Diego in positional warfare, and they could also find space.

Santiago defends the middle, and Kidd can shoot by himself after the pick-and-roll and pass to Martin. Santiago goes to defend the side, and Wang Jun runs after the cover, which is also an opportunity for misplacement.

Except for Reed, the Bucks were all guarded to death, and the offensive efficiency was low.

The Nets' defensive strategy is to resolutely defend one-on-one, man-to-man, and immediately switch defenses when encountering a pick-and-roll.

The premise of doing this is that Wang Jun must, because if Kittles is misplaced, he will definitely not be able to withstand the striker who can break through. Now five of them, including Kidd, are not afraid of confrontation.

Both Collins and Martin proved that for the inside, height is not the most important thing, the real key is strength and passion. Collins can keep most of the league's centers out of the three-second zone, and Martin can make up for his lack of height with bounce.

More importantly, the short man has strong mobility inside and can save the outside line to defend three-pointers.

Pat Riley said that he believes that in the future basketball will be played by five players of about 2 meters, and a balanced and small lineup is the trend of basketball.

That's what the Heat did this year, as did Wade at point guard, and the Nets are the same, stronger than the Heat because of their better offense. There is no shortage of guys who can shoot threes.

The five swingmen can basically do unlimited defense changes, saving a lot of steps in the middle, which is also conducive to improving tactical execution capabilities.

The Nets led by 10 points in the first quarter, and the bench lineup in the second quarter was the same.

Point guard Rusios tall, Kittles. Korver. Rodney, center Aaron Williams, these five people maintain good mobility, and four of them can shoot three-pointers.

Except for Damon Jones, the Bucks' substitutes were all blue-collar workers, and they were quickly beaten, and the point difference widened to 18 points.

Mason comes on with a substitute. Physically bullied Korver. The storm scored 6 points in a row, and everyone else was blocked.

Korver was quickly replaced, and Jefferson, who had a 4-minute break for two fouls in the first quarter, returned to the court.

His physique is not inferior to Mason, and he has also participated in the dunk contest. After the two met, Mason became invisible again.

When Kidd came back, the Nets counterattacked more fiercely, and the point difference widened to more than 20 points in one breath.

Because the Bucks lack an inside line that can attack in the low position. The Nets even sent an assault lineup of Martin, Jefferson, Wang Jun, Kittles, and Kidd.

Jefferson played the No. 4 position as a guest, bringing the counterattack to the fastest speed. There are dislocations everywhere on the field. Martin and Jefferson are efficient in singles. The Bucks help defend, and the other three shoot three-pointers from the outside.

In the third quarter, the maximum score difference reached 36 points, and the main players of the Nets clocked in early to get off work together.

At the end of the game, the Nets won 105 to 72 by 33 points.

Back to back, two consecutive victories, the Nets fans are crazy, and the media are also amazed.

At the start of the season, the Nets looked like they were going to collapse at any moment, and they were a bad team. Now they seem to be a good contender for the championship, with 8 consecutive victories and 11 wins and 9 losses.

Wang Jun only played 28 minutes. 6 of 10 shots, 3 of 5 three-pointers, 15 points and 2 rebounds.

Mason had 12 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists. His scoring did not help the team. The only thing worthy of praise is that he did not clash with Wang Jun again this time.

Wang Jun ignored Mason, and the two finished the game as if nothing had happened.

Kidd scored a triple-double in 32 minutes, with 14 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. He taught Ford a good lesson. The latter had only 4 points and 5 assists, 0 of 6 shots, and all of his points came from free throws.

Martin was even more fierce, with 20 points, 16 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks in 33 minutes, completely blasting Joe Smith.

Five Nets scored in double figures, Kittles and Jefferson scored 18 and 12 points respectively.

Kidd participated in the press conference, faced the media with pride, and directly announced his goals for the season. "The goal of the Nets this season is only the championship. There is no doubt that we have the strength to compete for the championship."

Martin was equally excited. "The Nets have reached the finals twice, but no one regards us as a contender. This season has not been smooth, and some people have questioned the gold content of our two Eastern Conference championships. Why is the West strong and the East weak? We have five consecutive Western Conference away games , two back-to-back, didn’t they both win? I believe the team will continue to win, and it’s our turn to win the championship this season!”

The reporter interviewed Wang Jun and asked him about his goals for the season.

Wang Jun had already thought up his rhetoric in the locker room, and Kidd and the others shouted slogans, how could he sing the opposite?

"Of course it is to win the championship. This is our goal during the preseason training camp. I think there is nothing to say about it. In competitive games, any strong team should aim to win in the end."

The most low-key person on the team is coach Lawrence Frank. He has too little qualifications and mainly commented on the game, not mentioning the playoffs. He won consecutive victories as soon as he took office, and Lawrence would wake up from his dreams when he went home. If he called for the championship, he would be too arrogant.

Postgame news reported the Nets' big win.

The New Jersey media said: The Nets' fast-break style of play may cause a vigorous storm of basketball innovation.

In the past, basketball games focused on one force and ten games. In the face of absolute power, no matter how much skill is, it can only be cannon fodder. This is the simplest and most crude basic principle of basketball.

The Lakers won three consecutive championships, O'Neal dominated the basket, and the Spurs won two championships. The core is the twin towers, which proves the importance of the inside line.

Now, the Nets have almost no inside attack, relying on fast breaks and three-pointers to win the ball, changing basketball from simple and violent characteristics to technical skills.

Some experts commented that the current style of play of the Nets is anti-human, and it is an alternative basketball tutorial on how a group of small men can crush violent men.

Senior reporter Mark Stern said: "Basketball is a competitive sport exclusive to seniors. Higher height often means strong physical strength and confrontational strength. Therefore, in the NBA arena, among the players with an annual salary of tens of millions, it is often the There are far more post players than post players. Now, the Nets make me wonder if that theory is true."

For a long time, the basketball court has believed in the principle that one inch is taller and one inch is stronger. The closer to the basket, the higher the shooting rate has almost become a rule on the court.

Therefore, in every free agent battle during the offseason, in addition to the superstars standing at the top of the NBA players, more teams are fighting for big men. Even Jordan has to have a big partner on the team.

The big men of the Nets, Mickey Moore and Scalabrine, hardly played, and they relied on the outside to win.

Wang Jun, Kidd, Kittles, Rodney, Jefferson, Lucios, Korver, there are as many as 7 players who can shoot three-pointers.

Because of the alternative tactics, most people who are not optimistic about the Nets are naturally in the majority. The main argument is that it is difficult for a team with a traditional guard as the core to win the championship.

Since the Magician's Lakers and the Assassin's Pistons, there is indeed no guard core to lead the team to the championship.

In any case, if the Nets want to succeed, they have to break the law and change people's previous perceptions. (To be continued.)
