Build a Dream Dynasty

Chapter 115: A Good Start

Byron Scott quickly called a timeout and rearranged to avoid being chased by the Nets.

Indeed, the main goal of the Cavaliers this season is to give the No. 1 pick Lang Irving sufficient possession of the ball so that he can realize his potential as the No. 1 pick. order. But this doesn't mean that the boss and the fans will tolerate the team becoming a CBA. It doesn't mean that they can tolerate the coach sitting on the sidelines like a decoration, not knowing how to adjust according to the situation on the court.

Power forward Tristan Thompson, who was selected by the team as the fourth pick, replaced Parker and used his athletic ability and defense to help the team consolidate the inside line. The dilemma encountered by rookie Leonard and Byron Scott is the same as last year for Stevens. With only a few cards in hand, it is really not easy to play well.

After the timeout, the Cavaliers' offense seems to be smoother. Although Thompson is also a rookie, he has no effective scoring methods on the offensive end, but the victory is obedient and active. The defensive end does the dirty work and liberates Jamison. Can also use mobility to eat cakes. After a wall-hitting pick-and-roll, Thompson cut into the inside and scored a layup, maintaining the point difference at 13:19, and the two sides entered an official timeout.

Choosing a pure blue-collar with the fourth pick may be a failure for other teams, but considering the intoxicating draft vision of the Cavaliers, Thompson can make a contribution, which is not bad!

After the timeout ended, the Nets replaced West and Leonard with Korver and Anderson, returning to last season's starting lineup. The debut of the two outside forts immediately improved the offensive environment of the Nets, and the breakthrough space of Bledsoe and George increased. Anderson, who lost his main position this season due to the arrival of West, changed his sluggishness in the second half of last season. He shot decisively from outside the three-point line, made three shots from the outside and hit two goals, showing a good competitive state.

After the end of the first quarter, the Nets led their opponents by 32:23. The team fully grasped the initiative on the court. Irving hit several difficult points to help the Cavaliers bite the score. However, he and The rustiness of teammates is still very obvious. The same problem appeared on Leonard. In the first quarter, he only scored 3 points on 1 of 4 shots. His performance on the offensive end was not qualified.

Without the summer league, without the preseason, the time and scale of the preseason training camp have been greatly shortened. All kinds of anomalies have caused the two rookies Irving and Leonard to be reused by the team, but it is not easy Integrate into the team during the game. After all, training and competition are two different things.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Nets continued the excellent state of the previous quarter. The cooperation of the two insiders, West and Lopez, has continuously caused the Cavaliers to lose sight of the inside defense. Although he has just joined, West has a lot of experience after all, and the role he plays is Stevens. It has been designed before, and it has been conceived for a long time for Boozer and Lopez's partner, and Stevens has deduced it countless times.

The Nets' offense was impressive, but the Cavaliers were still unable to start the situation. Irving, who was trapped in a tight attack, failed to make a strong attack. Instead, the Nets seized the opportunity and played two consecutive fast breaks. With five minutes left in the half , The Nets have achieved a fifteen-point advantage.

Afterwards, Stevens consciously replaced West. West, who had just recovered from a serious injury, needed to save some time. Moreover, Anderson's performance was surprisingly good today, and Stevens was willing to give him more playing time.

"Irving's offensive methods are indeed comprehensive. Singles are mainly breakthroughs in disguise from left to right and emergency stop jump shots. The dribble changes suddenly, and the fake moves are realistic. The layup feels good, and he is good at using his body and the basket to protect the ball. Although his physical fitness can only be said , but is rarely blocked. Accurate jump shots, good at using high-post players' screens and pick-and-roll tactics, proficient in off-ball running skills, and a fairly good level of distribution." At home, Jiang Mingliang and West watched the game together In the team's opening game of the season, I heard that West has been boasting about Owen in Barabara.

"Irving's singles skills are really good. It's a pity that we have no chips. Otherwise, I wouldn't dream of Curry." With a professional commentator like West beside him, it can actually overturn many opinions about Irving because of his previous life. Misunderstandings, the current Irving is not the stubborn, obsessed with singles, and flashy Erwen of later generations. He is willing to share the ball and cooperate with his teammates. Although running without the ball can only be said to be average, as long as he has the ball in his hand, There are eighteen ways to beat you.

Jiang Mingliang's obsession with Curry is the same as West's preference for Irving. In this regard, West can only wish Jiang Mingliang good luck.

From any point of view, the bargaining chips that need to be paid in the transaction library are much lower than what needs to be taken out to trade Irving.

Perhaps there is indeed a gap between the strengths of the two sides, or perhaps the running-in problem faced by the rebuilt Cavaliers is more serious than that of the Nets. In the second half of the game, the resistance shown by the Cavaliers was still tepid. The situation is also more suitable for Stevens' full running-in tactics. In the case of saving West and Lopez's physical strength, as many experimental lineups as possible, especially Leonard, won the most playing time of the Nets in this game. He played 34 minutes in the whole game, He made 4 of 11 shots and scored 10 points. In addition, he took off 5 rebounds, contributed a steal and a block.

Of course, the player with the best stats for the Nets is still Paul George. Although George played only 31 minutes in this game because of his weak opponent, he made 8 of 17 shots and scored 19 points, which is still the highest score in the game. It seems that after ten days of extra training in the pre-match training camp, he has recovered the state of last season and has adapted to the new position.

No. 1 pick Lang Irving's data is gorgeous enough, and his performance of 18 points and 8 assists is in line with the public's expectations for him. After all, this is still Irving's NBA debut. However, despite scoring a few high-intensity goals, Irving's overall efficiency is not high. His 7-of-18 shooting percentage is considered flawless. Of course, in the Cavaliers lineup, it can only be a lot. encouraged.

At 114:98, the Nets started the new season with a 16-point victory.

"It was an expected win for the Nets. It looked like the Cavaliers couldn't cause any problems for the Nets in direct matchups other than Irving and Thompson for a while. Two Teams faced similar situations last season and this season, but it doesn't look like Stevens and his Nets are that easy to replicate."

"Stevens gave the rookie Leonard enough playing time in this game. Overall, it can only be said to be quite satisfactory. Considering that coach Stevens trained Bledsoe and George last season, Leonard The future of Germany is still exciting.”

"West's role in this game was immediate. At the same time, I was surprised to see Anderson's improvement in this game (4 of 7 three-pointers). It seems that he is not going to give up. Send." +
