Build a Dream Dynasty

Maybe it was inspired by his own boss personally supervising the battle, maybe it was because of the beautiful woman's desire to perform, maybe it was the first time that the team had a big-name star watching the game on the spot. , especially on the defensive end, watching the hard running and all-out confrontation, he actually withstood the Spurs' offense for a while. In a quick counterattack, the three lines from the left, center and right are arranged in sequence, and the three arrows are fired at once, which also makes the Spurs hard to defend. In the opening game, the Nets beat the Spurs by 9:2, overtaking the score in one fell swoop, forcing Popovich to call a timeout.

"This Danny Green, I haven't noticed it before, it's really okay." The game continued, and Popovich said to the assistant coach Messina beside him.

"I've noticed this guy before, and he's tough and smart on defense. But on offense, he lacks the ability to handle the ball, his shooting is inconsistent, and the Nets are a very space-dependent team. , so he's probably fourth on the wing." As Popovich's brains and database, Messina immediately said what he knew.

"The fourth pick. Ettore, is it possible for us to get him." Popovich asked with interest.

"It's hard to say, but the data shows that he only signed a contract with the Nets for one year. Maybe we can try to use a second round to exchange with them."

It just so happened that we were in East Rutherford right now, so it would definitely be much better to negotiate a deal in person than over the phone. However, this has to be discussed after the game.

Back on the court, the Spurs still didn't take advantage of it. The veteran Carter can be said to be out of breath when he saw this team. Once upon a time, he was also a victim of Bowen's tricks. He was stepped on by Bowen three times in a row, and Carter chased after Bowen after being stepped on for the third time. The picture of playing has also become a classic memory picture in the NBA. Although Bowen is gone now, it does not mean that these victims will forgive these past crimes. The rookie Gary Neal, who was reused by Popovich because of his good defense, was completely unable to withstand Carter's small universe explosion, and was hit by Carter three times in a row.

As he got older, Carter's state declined very obviously. After all, he was also seriously injured when he was young. After returning to the Nets this season, Carter began his own transformation. Delegate to the bench, increase running without the ball, reduce the time of holding the ball in hand, and improve the accuracy of one's outside three-pointers. Carter's transformation is painful, not only the sweat shed in training and playing, the change in the way he plays on the court, but also the overcoming of the hurdle in his heart. But Carter's transformation is also timely! Withdrawing to the position of the sixth man, he does not need to overload himself with responsibilities that are already difficult to support every day, which reduces the wear and tear of the body. The change in the way of playing, becoming an excellent role player, improved Carter's efficiency, and the occasional singles and dunks with the ball symbolize the veteran's self-righteousness.

The old Carter's all-out efforts also drove the arrogance of the young people of the Nets team. The old bones have taken the lead, and there is no reason for the young people not to go all-out. Under the desperate efforts of the three armies, the Nets took a 54:42 lead by two points at halftime.

Good at playing in the third quarter is the conclusion Stevens came to after careful study of this Spurs team. In fact, in NBA games, the probability of opening the score difference in the third quarter is the highest among the four quarters. After the coaches tested each other in the first half, the fighting in the third quarter was particularly exciting.

Afraid of Duncan's singles ability, Stevens did not dare to choose a change, and could only make a fuss at the point guard position. Veteran Carter replaced Jeremy Lin as point guard in the third quarter.

"Isn't it easy to use at all?" Popovich didn't panic, Ginobili was responsible for switching on Carter, and Parker went to talk to Korver in the second position.

One-on-one top bull Ginobili is certainly not Carter's opponent, but Duncan is catty inside, and it is destined that Carter will not be able to deal with Ginobili like he bullied Neal in the second quarter. Most of them are taunts, but Ginobili's hands and feet are also notoriously dirty in the league, and he is quite insidious on the defensive end (stepping Brooks, Green, knocking Griffin).

Although this season is the worst season of Duncan's career so far, it is compared with himself. Looking at this season's games, his role in both offense and defense of the Spurs is still difficult for any player in the league. replaced. Under his leadership, in the third quarter, the Spurs reduced the speed of the team's offensive and defensive transitions, regained the essence of a strong defensive team in the past, and dragged the Nets into a tug-of-war.

Under the training of Stevens, the Nets are not as good at fast-paced offensive and defensive transitions as other young teams, and they are tied up when it comes to positional battles. However, the reality of the team's lack of strong scorers also makes them face the Spurs. This kind of team is very difficult to play. George singles Jefferson's mid-range jumper is a good way to score, but he alone can't hurt the Spurs.

Although Splitter, who replaced Blair, did not contribute much offensively, he liberated Duncan and did a very good job of rushing the offensive rebounds, repeatedly grabbing rebounds from Anderson and Lopez.

Sighing lightly, Stevens shook his head. Judging from the current situation, the team's weakness in the power forward position can only be resolved next season.

I already have candidates for signings in my mind, and then it will depend on Jiang Mingliang and West's operations.

"Shua!" George succeeded in the mid-range pull-up for the fifth time in the third quarter. He could barely narrow the point difference to less than ten points, but he couldn't reverse the team's overall disadvantage.

Taking advantage of the dead ball, Stevens finally made adjustments. Baynes came on the stage, replacing Anderson, who had not performed much under the restraint of the Spurs' tactics, and played the twin towers. At the same time, Jeremy Lin came on, replacing Carter, and Green came on, replacing Korver.

Among the middle and lower reaches of the NBA in recent years, the Bucks are better at playing against the Spurs. It's not to say how strong this fringe team in the Eastern Conference playoffs is, it's simply their lineup structure, which can just restrain the Spurs.

The No. 1 position is Mobu Chuan, and the No. 2 Reed is a player who can independently lead the ball to complete the mid-range shot and can guarantee a hit rate. Numerous facts have proved that the Spurs are really afraid of players with accurate mid-range. Bogut of the Lunei line is famous for beating Duncan in the 2004 Athens Olympics. In his rookie season in the NBA, he once completed an alley-oop lore on Duncan's head.

"Duncan was consumed on both offense and defense." Baynes conveyed the coach's intentions to George and Lopez on the field, and the two immediately understood.

It was the Spurs' turn to attack again, but when the ball passed through Duncan again, Baynes immediately stepped up. His white bear-like physique pressed on Duncan, supplemented by the various small moves that Australians are good at, which made Duncan uncomfortable.

Unlike the American jumping men who have strong upper body strength and weak lower body strength, Australian center forwards have rather thick lower body. The disadvantage of this is that they move slowly, but the advantage is that the feet are rooted. They are good players for low-post defense.

Duncan was forced to pass the ball, Parker missed the throw after receiving the ball, George received the rebound, just about to launch a fast break, but found that the Spurs' retreat was timely enough, so he had to hand the ball to Jeremy Lin and slowly organize.
