Build a Dream Dynasty

Chapter 777: A Great Adversary

Green's fairy ball was an impact on the morale of the 76ers. Under the downwind situation, Stevens replaced JR Smith to enhance the team's offensive power. JR has always been a player with some people going crazy, and he should have a good performance in such a lively scene.

It’s hard to say about JR at other times, but JR, who is in the championship team and in the contract year, seems to be more active, running on the court without hesitating his physical strength. Jiang Mingliang was quite satisfied.

JR, who plays hard, can be regarded as half of the team's giant. On the offensive end, he can hold the ball and is willing to run. It can also have a good output.

Harden was deliberately targeted by the Nets on the defensive end, but as the game continued, Harden also began to show his superstar qualities on the offensive end. In an away game, facing the powerful Nets again, Harden received Thinking of his own cleverness, he didn't deliberately look for fouls, but sent the ball into the basket as much as possible. Harden, who plays seriously, is really not a small threat.

Harden and James took turns playing singles, driving the team and helping the 76ers not let the Nets widen the point difference in the first quarter of the game. This is also the mode in which the 76ers have played the Nets the most in recent years. Compared with the Nets who have more offensive starting points on the court, the 76ers only have James and Harden as offensive starting points on the court. Especially the lack of a player on the bench who can bring a substitute, they can still deal with ordinary opponents, but facing the Nets or other strong teams, it will be uncomfortable to expose this problem.

In the first half of the second quarter, the 76ers once again suffered a big loss in the alignment of the rotation lineup. This is what they often suffer when facing the Nets. The team did not cherish it when Ingles was there. Now After leaving, no one can fill this hole. Now the team is trying to trade Evans, but can Evans really fill Ingles' vacancy? It's hard for anyone to say, at least in terms of style of play, the two are very different.

The two veterans of the Nets, Carter and Pierce, helped the team widen the point difference in the second quarter. In fact, Carter can be regarded as a relatively salary-worthy player in the Nets team with a basic salary and high energy. Most of the time, his performance is worth the current middle class. Even if the team wants to chase Durant in the summer, Will try to persuade Carter to jump out of the contract and re-sign a contract later. However, in this game, facing the relatively mediocre bench lineup of the 76ers, Carter's performance was not bad, scoring 6 points on 3 of 5 shots.

The situation was unfavorable, Harden went into battle again, and the effect was immediate. When one foot crossed the center line, Harden suddenly accelerated his speed. Seeing this, Covington immediately gave up those around him, and jumped out yelling.

At this time, Harden only needs to pass the ball to Grant, who is open inside, and the 76ers can easily score points. ! He suddenly pulled the ball behind him with his right hand. The left hand catches the basketball across the waist. Taking aim at the gap between the two defenders, he shortened his body and used cross steps to sneak through lightly. There was no defense in front of him, and Harden scored an easy mid-range shot.

The Nets attacked, and Dinwiddie forced the relatively weak Neto. After successfully breaking into the inside, he forced a shot, but was interfered by Grant's supplementary defense and failed to score the ball. Grant took advantage of the rebound and sent a pass directly. Jefferson, who had been prepared for a long time, rushed to the ball, received the pass in the air, took advantage of the opportunity to slam the basket with both hands, and scored two more points, narrowing the score gap to 9 points.

Grant's rapid growth also brought the positional conflict between him and Mirotic to the fore. Although the two have very different styles, they are not suitable to play together as an inside partner, and neither is easy to swing to the fifth position. In the near future, using one of them as an asset to strengthen the other weak position will be a problem for 76 It is more realistic for the human team.

In the next round of offense, Grant and Harden completed the alley-oop cooperation after the pick-and-roll, and also proved with actual performance that he is a more suitable partner with Harden.

It wasn't that Jiang Mingliang boasted. As early as the draft, he actually thought of a way to get Grant after considering the draft. This player, who looked a bit dubious at the time, should also be very suitable for the Nets, especially Jiang Mingliang. This is especially true when Green is not regarded as the core of the team. It's just that after Grant was selected by the 76ers, James actually airborne to the 76ers. As a direct competitor, he also knew that the opponent was afraid of his "touching stone" skills, so he gave up this plan.

But even Jiang Mingliang didn't expect Grant to grow so quickly next to Shuang Zhan. Although his offensive skills are still rough, Grant will cooperate with Harden first, have plenty of physical strength and spare no effort on the court, and cooperate on the defensive end. The defensive effect is very prominent, especially the ability to switch defenses after the pick-and-roll is very strong, which is very important in the game against the Nets.

The main lineup returned, and Schneider kept Grant on the court as a screen to prevent Curry from causing trouble during the pick-and-roll. For this MVP, Schneider knows his horror. Once Curry finds the touch, he can hit three-pointers from 108 positions outside the three-point line, but at least make the best effort to defend him, no ?

Another point where the 76ers can compete head-on with the Nets today is that James, facing Leonard, whom he hates, truly showed the demeanor of the first man in the league, daring to play the opponent head-on. James was more active in the second quarter than in the first quarter. His frequent breakthroughs and singles put great defensive pressure on Leonard. Leonard fouled for the third time and was forced to rest.

In the Nets team, apart from Leonard, the only one who is suitable for defending James can only be Covington. Facing James, who is eager to attack today, Stevens didn't dare to bet on Harris' confrontation, and replaced Leonard with Covington.

The defender changed from Leonard to Covington, and Dreaming Green's defense focused more on himself. James began to use his excellent overall view and passing awareness to help the team score. It is not an exaggeration to describe James with the passing level of a top point guard. If James is willing to reduce his personal offense and play more of a point guard role, he can win the assists king. Jiang Mingliang is also convinced of this.

In the second half of the second quarter, James scored and assisted both correctly, scored 13 points and 4 assists, led the team to a wave of 25:16 attacks, and overtook by 2 points with 63:61.

It is entirely the personal abilities of the two superstars. If Jiang Mingliang is asked to sum up the reason why the team fell behind in the first half, he can only explain it in this way. Based on this, he is not worried about the second half of the game. After all, the overall strength is still dominated by the Nets, which is still the absence of Porzingis.

After the intermission, the second half of the game began quickly, and the 76ers continued to attack the Nets around the two superstars on both offense and defense. Harden handles the ball offensively, while James works harder on the defensive end.

Compared with the two core players of the 76ers, Curry's performance today cannot be said to be bad. After all, he also scored 17 points in the half, but his sense of presence is really average. When the 76ers chased points, he did not stand up and beat the opponent The momentum is suppressed. Among them, Beverley's hard work in defense has contributed the most.

At the same time, after running with Curry for half the time, Beverly's physical strength was also exhausted to a relatively weak state. After the start of the second half of the game, Curry began to play more aggressively with the ball on the offensive end, facing Harden.

On the surface, Curry has a good temper and a good personality, but in fact Curry is a little bit "holding grudges". He is very competitive and unwilling to lag behind others. Whether it is Harden, who is known as the duo in 2009, or James, the temporary number one player in the league, Curry has a strong desire to defeat them.

In 2009, the two heroes played on the offensive end. The quality of the confrontation was very high, and the fans were very happy watching it. The scores of the two sides were also rising steadily. The fans sitting on the sidelines of this kind of game must have enjoyed it very much. .

For this situation, both sides are happy to see the results. The Nets win because of their thick bench lineup. No matter how powerful the 76ers are in dual-core, it is almost impossible to maintain one-on-one efficiency throughout the half. The advantage of the 76ers lies in James' backhand.
