Build a Dream Dynasty

The team appropriately increased Bledsoe's role on the offensive end, and he did not disappoint the team. While giving back to the team's good defensive performance, he also made his own contributions on the offensive end. He made 5 of 12 shots and made free throws. He made 4 of 6 free throws and scored 14 points. The efficiency value is not high, but it is acceptable to deal with the Bucks.

Stevens' style of focusing on the team's defense makes the team more comfortable in the face of weak teams without superstars. Objectively speaking, as of this season so far, it is Duran who has really blown up the Nets. special alone.

108:101, in the last half of the quarter, the Nets replaced a substitute player, and the Bucks recovered some points, but the victory of the game has been firmly in the hands of the Nets, and the Bucks did not see any hope.

In the first ten games of the season, the Nets won 7 of them, ranking third in the East, second only to the Chicago Bulls and Miami Heat. This is a result that somewhat exceeded expectations. The overall difficulty of the schedule is relatively high. They played four Western Conference playoff teams last season, including the defending champion Mavericks and the current league No. 1 Thunder, which also included a terrible three-game Western Conference. Of course, it is the completion of such a winning percentage in such a high-intensity schedule that makes the Nets always active in everyone's sight. You want a team, starting to face the Raptors, Cavaliers, Hornets, Kings, and then 7 wins and 3 losses, is it really not as popular as the Nets?

The team is fighting on the field. Behind the scenes, Jiang Mingliang is also providing the team with the greatest support. For example, in the case of Fernandez, he even arranged for scouts to go to Madrid and Real Madrid to conduct investigations and consultations to understand the specific signing of Fernandez.

"Fernandez has signed an intentional transfer contract with Real Madrid, and has basically decided where he will go next season. However, the official contract has not yet been signed, nor has it been filed with the La Liga Committee."

In other words, there is still room for manoeuvre, but this requires two ends to deal with Fernandez himself and Real Madrid. After confirming the good news here, Jiang Mingliang immediately contacted Stevens in Indianapolis to find out how much he valued Fernandez. After all, if he wanted to convince Fernandez, he had to first confirm his position in the team. If it is just a substitute, with Fernandez's spirit, there is a high probability that he will not terminate the contract with Real Madrid.

"The first rotation on the wing position", Stevens gave his own reply, which also strengthened Jiang Mingliang's mind and restarted the negotiations with the Nuggets.

. . . . . . .

The wheel of history was deflected by the flapping wings of Jiang Mingliang, a little butterfly, and the Pacers became the biggest loser. George was intercepted by the Nets, West finally chose the Nets, and even the trade of No. 15 pick for George Hill did not happen. However, a struggling team always has a way to strengthen the team's lineup. Stephenson, the second-round pick selected by the Pacers last year, gradually played out in the second half of his rookie season and became a force that cannot be ignored on the team's bench. Strength, the No. 15 rookie Box selected in the 2011 NBA Draft has considerable impact and is a good seed worth cultivating. As for the power forward position, although he lost to the Nets in West's competition, he still has a foot The Raptors signed Landry, who performed well with the Nets last season, and he also reached the peak of his career with the Pacers, averaging 14+7 per game, which is really good. And the Pacers also used this seemingly civilian lineup to reach the sixth position in the Eastern Conference, even ranking above the Knicks led by the "Big Three"!

The hard work of teams such as the Nets, Pacers, and Bucks in the past two years has also changed the atmosphere of most teams in the East to accompany the prince to study. Because of the weak overall strength of the Eastern Conference, it is not so difficult to enter the playoffs. After entering the playoffs, the team will be more attractive in the free market, which can form a virtuous circle.

Back to the game itself, Stevens, who revisited his hometown, unexpectedly received a warm welcome from a small group of fans at the Conseco Arena, home of the Pacers. They were all fans from Butler University, who happened to have time to come Visit their meritorious coach. Although Stevens didn't coach Butler University's basketball team for a long time, he helped the team reach its peak since its establishment. It was the runner-up in the NCAA Finals. In the United States, where the atmosphere of college basketball is strong, this honor is worthy of Butler University. remember.

Closer to home, in the game between the Pacers and the Nets, the Pacers had the advantage from the very beginning.

For the Nets, George and West didn't have a particularly good start, but the Trail Blazers seized the opportunity. Granger used his good catch and shoot consecutively to deflate Leonard. Instead of wrestling with Leonard head-on, the star players used ghostly running positions and excellent step adjustments to exhaust Leonard little by little.

Hibbert is far from the later Gao Yuanyuan. At this moment, his nickname is still "Black Yao Ming". Although his inside work and singles ability are far from Yao Ming's, he is still close enough to rely on his 218 cm He is tall and has an excellent wingspan to easily throw the ball in. On the defensive end, the role of protecting the frame is even more obvious. The inside combination of Lopez and West is obviously suppressed. Boxer and Stephenson at the 2nd position are characterized by excellent impact, but the basketball IQ of these two people is really not low. After disrupting the defense of the Nets, they frequently sent exquisite passes to help Landry hit the eagle. sky.

It wasn't until the second half of the first quarter that Korver and Anderson's debut changed the situation on the court. Anderson's progress this season is obvious to all. The two most obvious points are the determination of three-pointers and the grasp of open three-pointers. Facing the undersized Landry's defense, Anderson's three-pointer forced the opponent's defense to expand further. Jeremy Lin used the pick-and-roll to face Hibbert's small play, and he was also more skilled than Bledsoe. The point difference began to shrink a little bit.

Then in the second and third quarters, the scores of the two teams were very tight, and they kept rising alternately. Hibbert played at a super level in this game. The 18+11 data in the first three quarters was not enough to reflect his strength Fortunately for Lopez and West under the basket, Stevens replaced Granger with George, which limited the outside scorer's output and killed the score.

The game situation remained stalemate until the second half of the fourth quarter. Leonard steals the coquettish Stephenson and then dribbles the ball all the way into the penalty area. He squeezed against Stephenson all the way, dunked and caused Stephenson to foul at the same time, reaching 2 +1, bringing the point difference to 4 points.

But during this attack, Leonard smashed his right ring finger. After defending the Pacers from another attack, Leonard took the initiative to apply for a timeout from the coach, and was replaced by the team doctor. .

Fortunately, the Nets held on to their lead until the end of the game. At 104:98, the Nets narrowly won by 6 points and achieved a three-game winning streak in away games. While ranking third in the Eastern Conference, they continued to chase the Bulls and Heat.
