Build a Dream Dynasty

Chapter 724: Cast Randomly, If You Get In, You Win

Before the season, the two opponents, the Warriors and the Celtics, were teams on the fringes of the playoffs. The strength of the teams was indeed not bad, but the flaws in the lineup were also very obvious. Bloody, but the offensive team is easy to score big when it feels overwhelmed, so, at least in the strength list, the Nets are still ranked third, and they have not overtaken the same two games. The Thunder and the 76ers.

However, in the third game of this season, the Nets ushered in a truly significant opponent, the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Cavaliers made it all the way to the Eastern Conference finals last season. Looking back, they may have benefited from the poor overall strength of that half. But in all fairness, they first defeated the Bucks, which Jiang Mingliang regarded as a threat, and then defeated the Eastern Conference The regular season champion Eagles, this performance is worthy of recognition, Irving, Wiggins, Thompson are worthy of recognition.

However, this summer, the media praised the Cavaliers a bit too much. Irving has always been the target of the media's praise. His playing skills are smart, his style of play is coquettish, and he has made a breakthrough in his record. Now the media dare to directly compare Irving with Curry, which is really too much. How should I put it, Jiang Mingliang himself likes Irving very much, but it is a bit ridiculous for Irving to lead the Eastern Conference Finals plus a three-team career honor to directly compare him with Curry, even if Leonard is not because of these two seasons Injuries have affected the accumulation of data. With the honor of being the second champion, it may not be much worse than Irving in the same session.

In fact, many times conflicts are provoked under such circumstances.

In any case, the team returned to the Eastern Conference finals after being the No. 1 pick in four years. The Cavaliers initially succeeded in rebuilding, and the next step is further reinforcement. The Cavaliers signed Jordan, who was abandoned by the Clippers, with a high salary. If the young Cavaliers can continue to improve, perhaps this young team will become the team that can compete with the two super teams in the East.

From this point of view, the owner of the Cavaliers, Gilbert, is also a character. At least for the team, he can really afford a huge investment. This alone is definitely better than some iron cocks.

Little Jordan succeeded in bouncing the ball and won the ball for the team. This is Porzingis, who is 221 tall, has long arms and legs, and has abnormal bounces.

Irving did not rush to attack after holding the ball for halftime, but slowly looked for opportunities. Tristan Thompson stepped forward to pick and roll, and Chasing Dream Green followed. Unexpectedly, Wiggins added another wall behind him, and Chasing Dreaming Green was stuck. Irving broke into the inside, swayed Leonard away with a European step, and scored a layup with a light left hand.

All five players participated in an attack, especially Wiggins' movement in the penalty area was very clever, which should have been carefully designed by Blatter.

Curry received the ball and passed it to Dreaming Green, and ran to the left corner, Smith was 70 degrees on the right, and Leonard went to the right corner.

Green held the ball and Porzingis played a pick-and-roll in the middle, took two steps, turned 50 degrees to the left to face the frame, Porzingis made an air cut to the left, Chasing Dream Green passed the ball, and Porzingis faced it Against TT, the height advantage is very obvious. Fernandez retracted in time to prepare for the defense, but it was too late. Porzingis carried TT, wiped the board at the basket, and scored 2 to 2.

The Cavaliers' next offense was very simple. Irving singled out Curry and scored, 4 to 2. Owen's heads-up ability has indeed been fully stretched, and he is covered in weapons. In fact, if Curry and Irving are singled out, they may not necessarily win.

However, how to use the power of the team to help yourself, and at the same time give full play to your strengths to feed back the team, these understanding of basketball, Curry's skills are much higher than Irving, the next round of offense, Curry and Leonard Under the double threat of Porzingis, Porzingis' scoring became easy, and he easily scored from close range.

The Cavaliers' offense remained efficient. Irving's smart breakthrough attracted the Nets to double-team. Wiggins caught the ball from the wing and hit a three-pointer.

The champion Lang's ability to catch and shoot the ball is average, and his shooting percentage from the outside is only 31.5%. Therefore, Leonard is a little careless. But immediately, Leonard snatched back the lost points on the offensive end. He ran Wiggins into the three-second zone in a low-post single, and then scored the ball with Thompson's flanking attack.

Wiggins has never been cowardly against James, and he has had a dozen fights against Durant, but he only met Leonard, just like a mouse meets a cat. If Leonard hadn't been injured in one-third of the season last season, the Cavaliers may not be sure to be able to score 2:2 with the Nets in the 4 regular season matchups.

Except for the BUG of Durant, Leonard will not suffer too much when facing most of the flanks. Even if James faces him, his efficiency will decline. This is why even if the transaction is not completed, Jiang Mingliang One of the reasons why he still regards himself as the biggest favorite to win the championship. And more importantly, Leonard has become more comprehensive on the offensive end this season. This will further bridge the gap between Leonard and James.

The Cavaliers' good offense was finally blocked in the fourth quarter. Dreaming Green's timely supplementary defense interfered with Irving's shooting. Porzingis grabbed the rebound and sent a half-court pass to find Curry, who was already flat at the center line. , the latter advanced rapidly while closely observing the defenders behind him. After ensuring "safety", he adjusted his pace and prepared to send a LaVine-style dunk. . . . . .

Then, I just added a piece of material to my "Dunk Missed" highlights, and the Cavaliers fans at home also responded with kind smiles. Although they are opponents, it is hard for anyone not to like a player like Curry, let alone Curry Helped to snipe James, who is the most hated by Cavaliers fans, twice.

Although a mistake caused the Nets to miss the chance to score, Curry began to play in the next game. In the first two games of the season, Curry's offensive touch was good. This was the premise of the Nets' two bloodbaths. In this game, Curry continued his previous touch, especially outside the three-point line. He had already made a hit in the previous two games. With 11 goals, Curry continued to be in a fiery state, firing shots from outside the three-point line in a row. He hit 3 and 3 points in the first quarter of the game, leading the team to gradually widen the point difference.

It is also entering the personal attack mode. Curry actively switches depending on his own feel, while Irving depends on his own mood. When he sees that Curry feels coming, he wants to face the difficulties. Mud and personal offense affect the overall state of the Cavaliers.

In the Cavaliers, Wiggins has a Buddhist personality. Jordan, who has won a big contract, is temporarily satisfied, and TT has always worn the same pants with Irving. Only Fernandez is slightly dissatisfied.

Like Irving, Fernandez's personality is also somewhat sharp. It can be said that if it wasn't for the Nets giving him a more comfortable competitive environment, if it wasn't for Jiang Mingliang's discerning eye, and if it wasn't for Curry's boss with a very good personality, he might Fernandez has already returned to Europe.

But compared to the environment of the Nets, the atmosphere in the Cavaliers' locker room is not so comfortable. The conflict between Irving and Waiters is not entirely the latter's problem. At least Waiters is very honest in the Thunder, isn't he?

During the timeout, Blatter made tactical arrangements for the situation on the court. At the same time, Fernandez also loudly expressed his dissatisfaction to Irving. With Curry in excellent condition, Irving cannot be obsessed with Curry. heads-up.

However, Owen did not realize that his choice would have an adverse impact on the team. On the contrary, he showed obvious disapproval of some of Fernandez's accusations, and even criticized Fernandez's remarks in turn. The dispute on the Internet was very obvious, which made it difficult for the European head coach Blatter to deal with it for a while, and at the same time, it also attracted boos from the home fans.

There was some discord among the opponents, which was an opportunity for the Nets. Back on the court, Curry and Porzingis played a pick-and-roll again, and found a small opportunity to play big. Curry made a deviation through the change of dribbling rhythm. Overlooking Jordan's center of gravity, he shot as soon as he turned his toes, and Jordan jumped out to block the shot a beat later. Curry's fourth three-pointer helped the Nets widen the point difference to 14 points.

"He is omnipotent outside the three-point line!" NBC's commentator also said excitedly. The purchase of the Nets' game broadcast rights is a lucrative business for the TV station, and the number of subscribers of the TV station has doubled. The above, and the Nets also benefited from the influence of NBC TV station, crazy fans, especially in the New York area.

Irving didn't care about any tactics after halftime. He pulled up against Curry and it was a three-pointer. The shot was too simple and missed. The Dream Chasing Greens prevented TT from rushing up. Leonard judged the direction of the ball and easily picked up the backcourt rebound.

Hardly compete for offensive rebounds, which is also one of Wiggins' labels.

Dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, Curry and Green picked and rolled, Curry broke through with the ball, opened the distance, and passed the ball to Leonard in the air cut. Kawhi used his physical advantage to squeeze away TT, jumped up with one step, and broke his hands. The spike was scored, and the point difference further widened.

Even the Cavaliers who reached the Eastern Conference finals last season were beaten in one quarter, and the brutality of the Nets is undoubtedly evident. The game live hotline on the Huaxia HP forum is now full of Liu Huaqiang's "too cruel" emoticons.

That is to say, Jack, who came off the bench, led the team to a 7:2 spurt, which helped the team narrow the point difference to 12 points. At 27:39, the Cavaliers were not too miserable.

The starting point guard killer Jack continued to play well in the second quarter, especially on the defensive end. Jack and the team's backup wing player Robertson blocked the Nets' outside offense. Robertson from the Thunder really Some Tony Allen means, "I don't know much about offense, but you don't want to understand it either." He has height and wingspan, and his feet are flexible in confrontation. It's not bad, but the offensive end is worse than Tony Allen. Can cut in the air, fast break after stealing the ball, and can run with his feet. For Robertson, even getting the ball will be a problem when encountering some obstacles.

The offense of both sides was not very smooth, but Robertson's excellent defense was also used by the head coach. The main lineups of both sides returned, and Robertson appeared on the field instead of Wiggins. It is also a role that is not very capable of stretching space, at least Robertson will not wither when he meets Leonard like Wiggins.

However, Blatter obviously overestimated Robertson, or underestimated Stevens' courage. He directly emptied Robertson, who was standing in the outer corner of the three-point line, and directly adopted a 5-defense and 4-defense tactic.

"Shoot whatever you want, and you win if you score!" The Nets' tactics were very obvious, but the more this kind of "trust", the greater the pressure in Robertson's heart, and the less he dared to shoot.

The Cavaliers' offense is stuck in a vicious cycle. Robertson didn't dare to shoot, the more space the Nets would have for him, and the tighter the defense against others, Irving and Fernandez couldn't imagine that their teammates wouldn't dare to shoot in such a comfortable shooting environment, they chose to pass the ball, each They are all a little confused.

The Cavaliers' offense is completely blocked, but the defensive effect is not obvious. The Cavaliers' defense is really good, but the Nets' offensive power is also really powerful. Curry, JR Smith, Leonard, Porzingi All of them are top ten scorers in their respective positions, and Green, who is the most overlooked, practiced three-pointers hard in the offseason, and his progress is quite obvious. The Cavaliers dared to let him three meters away, and he dared to shoot as soon as he raised his hand. Although the hit rate was not high, it was definitely a deterrent to the opponent. Compared with Robertson, it was more than a step higher.

At halftime, the Nets led 72 to 50.

In the first half of the game, Curry made 8 of 13 shots, 5 of 8 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws. He scored 23 points, 2 rebounds, 5 assists and 1 steal. Although the scoring data is not bad, the 6-of-16 field goal percentage is really unsightly, not to mention the dark history of arguing with teammates on the bench.

Under the unfavorable situation, Irving and Fernandez did not show signs of shame and courage. Although the Cavaliers replaced Wiggins to balance offense and defense, they could not change the overall situation. The point difference was quickly opened to 30 points by the Nets. . The team's bench lineup suffered a little bit. Stevens appropriately extended the time of the starting lineup on the court, which also allowed Curry and Leonard to reach 30+ and 20+ data respectively.

It's too early to think about the 3rd consecutive MVP, let's give Curry a little help in advance. In addition, Leonard missed at least two All-Star games due to injuries. This year, regardless of whether the deal is reached or not, Jiang Mingliang hopes that Leonard can enter the All-Star as he wished to make up for some of the past. sorry.

However, the tradition of "checking in three quarters" cannot be broken. The huge lead allowed Stevens to remove Curry, JR Smith and Porzingis in the fourth quarter, leaving only Leonard and Dreaming Green on the court to ensure the team's defensive system, while the two After 5 minutes of joint attack, they were also replaced one after another. In the end, the Nets beat the Cavaliers 140:117, won the three-game winning streak since the start of the game, and took the No. Location.
