Chapter 811 Defending the Barclays Center

Looking back, the jumping man Wesley Johnson singled Harris on the offensive end, posing for a shot while marching, and pitted Harris with a Harden-style foul.

Although the former No. 4 pick is not good enough for the pick, his talent is actually good, his running and jumping ability is extremely strong, and his defensive footwork is also good. His problem is that his ability to hold the ball is average and his shooting is extremely unstable. You have high hopes for him, but there is a high probability that you will end up disappointed. However, it is really a good choice to sign with a basic salary to gamble that his talent can grow into a qualified substitute.

The hard work of the fans behind the rebound affected Wesley Johnson's free throw touch. O'Quinn made one of two free throws and steadily received the rebound.

The Nets attacked, and O'Quinn's solid pick-and-roll created a good shooting space for Dinwiddie. The latter made a mid-range shot and expanded the score advantage little by little.

Dinwiddie is a second-round pick, so the rookie contract is only signed for three years, and will become a restricted free agent after the end of next season. Whether it is the player's personal wishes or the team's assessment of him, it is very clear that Dinwiddie, like Jeremy Lin, can only be a passerby of the team. As an ambitious young man, it is difficult to accept being Curry's backup for a long time early in his career. Considering the contract issue, the Nets will deal with his contract in advance this summer and send him to a team that can give him the contract he wants in exchange for a higher draft pick in 18 years. It is also well known that the two parties will part ways in advance this summer. Therefore, Dinwiddie hopes to seize this opportunity to get a championship ring early in his career and during his rookie contract.

In this way, in the following career, he can rest assured that his interests will be maximized, and everything will depend on money.

He has a huge advantage in size, but at the same time his style of play is surprisingly stable. He has a mature style of play that surpasses his age. Facing the younger Rivers, who has better physical fitness but is completely brainless, Dinwiddie's IQ is slammed. Both tasks are done very well, while Rivers Jr. is the opposite. He is keen on passing that kind of knife-mountain ball. After all, Martin and Wesley Johnson's difficulty in catching the ball is out of his consideration.

Seeing that the point difference was about to reach 10 points, Rivers replaced Durant in time. As soon as he played, Durant created a murderous intent from the mid-range and steadily hit the mid-range shot, reducing the point difference to 6 points.

The energetic Durant's offensive stability is simply terrifying, and after his debut, he also calmed Rivers Jr. for the first time, and Rivers Jr. handed the ball to Durant after halftime, and then Go to the position honestly.

The Nets don’t have any players that are particularly suitable for defending Durant. Stevens’ defense against Durant is a war of attrition. When Leonard is not on the court, Durant is restricted from receiving the ball. Don't let him attack with the ball comfortably, and when Leonard is on the court, he will wrestle with Durant on the offensive end.

The two core players of the Clippers, Durant and Embiid, both have general physical problems. This is also one of the more obvious weaknesses of the Clippers after a high-intensity confrontation.

Durant scored consecutive points and narrowed the point difference. Stevens replaced the main players in time to deal with it. The combat effectiveness of the two sides quickly became balanced. Similar to G1, the Clippers had a clear advantage in the interior. The firepower of the Nets outside also amazed the entire league.

"This Nets team is definitely the strongest perimeter team in NBA history." After enjoying Curry's amazing performance, Barkley said.

Durant, Harris, and Embiid's striker configuration, in the long river of NBA history, are all considered to be top-level combat effectiveness, but the offensive threat derived from Curry alone has evened out the gap between the two sides. Both JR Smith and Leonard can take advantage of the excellent shooting environment brought by Kuyou to complete the scoring. Every time the Nets make an outside shot, the fans in front of the TV will kneel and watch the ball.

James, who bid farewell to the finals in advance, also praised his "Akron Brothers" on social media, and even caused many fans to speculate whether James would come to the Nets to continue playing brother basketball with Curry. You know, there have always been rumors about Durant and the Nets, but about James' next home, few people would consider the Nets. The Nets and James seem to be two parallel lines that will not intersect.

As the game progressed, Durant's battery life did have some problems, but Embiid took the gun in the interior in a timely manner and attacked Porzingis in the interior. With the experience of the previous game, the Nets strengthened the double-teaming of Embiid in time, but the effect still does not seem obvious. The Clippers' outside containment is still leveraged.

At 69:63, the Nets entered the intermission with a 6-point lead. Although the point difference is not big, the game is actually developing in the direction that Stevens wants to see. The situation that Stevens wants to see is this kind of 5V2 situation.

When the Clippers' offense is completely dependent on two superstars to create opportunities to complete, this in itself is a great test for Durant and Embiid, who are not very physical.

Even so, during the halftime break, Stevens still put forward higher demands on Porzingis. The defensive end really couldn't handle Embiid, so he gritted his teeth and pinched his nose to admit it. But Porzingis has to take on more on the offensive end. Although he has no advantage over Embiid in terms of strength, Porzingis has shooting and athletic ability on the offensive end. These advantages should be better utilized instead of just As a tool man, this is not the performance that the Nets' future inside core should show.

In the third quarter of the game, the Nets strengthened the double-teaming and restriction of Durant and controlled Reaper's shots. Facts have proved that Durant's ability to break double-teams can only be regarded as medium among super giants. On the upper side, using his height advantage, he can safely pick the ball out, but rarely directly creates murderous intent.

Don't look at Durant also averaged 5.6 assists per game in the regular season, but the gap between his passing ability and James' is not reflected in the statistics.

Embiid still has the upper hand in the matchup with Porzingis in the interior, but compared with the first half, Embiid also feels that Porzingis's spirit has become a little different. Whether it is offensive or defensive, Porzingis is obviously more ruthless, less afraid of confrontation, and more daring to fight.

Even in an offense, after Porzingis made a fake shot from the outside, he directly took a big stride and made a gliding dunk. Although he was finally stopped by a foul by Harris, a 221-centimeter big man won the championship in the finals. Making such an attempt on the current stage can reflect Porzingis's ruthlessness now.

The inside offense has hardened, and the pressure on Curry's shoulders is much less. Curry is a player with a strong nerve, but it is not a question of nerve strength that can keep going all out for 48 minutes of game time, it is God. The point is, when teammates don't find the right way to play, Curry can bring sufficient fault tolerance to teammates. Conversely, after teammates find the feeling, Curry also has a chance to breathe.

On the Clippers side, there are obviously not enough people who can share the pressure on Embiid and Durant. Among them, the team's third scorer in the regular season is naturally the team's third scorer, averaging 17+8 points per game. Harris. Facing the DPOY-level defender Chasing Dream Green in the finals, he was obviously frozen. The stats of 12+6 in the last game had already dropped significantly, but at least the basic firepower was guaranteed. In the first three quarters of the game, he only made 3 of 11 shots and scored 7 points. Facing Dreaming Green's defense, he couldn't find his presence at all, which was very embarrassing.

Dragic's performance is also not very good. Although he has done a good job in passing the ball to Durant and Embiid, it is clear that the Clippers need more from him. In other words, when facing a team like the Nets where everyone is doing things beyond their worth, any opponent who wants to beat them in a series also needs their own players to be able to do this. Dragic and Harris are not able to hold on to the scene at this time.

The balance of victory has obviously turned to the Nets in the third quarter, but Durant hit a super difficult three-pointer in the face of a double team at the end of the third quarter, bringing the point difference back to 13 points , so that the fourth quarter game retains a little bit of suspense.

However, in the deadliest fourth quarter, Durant's physical strength began to have problems, and his scoring efficiency declined.

Embiid also took a break for a while, and then, the Clippers' defensive system collapsed.

When Curry is not on the court, Dinwiddie can organize the team's offense. When Leonard is not on the court, Covington can also provide some defensive intensity, but the Clippers rarely help Duran. Te and Embiid's people. If Dragic and Fernandez made some contributions on the offensive end in G1, then in G2, both of them were a little lost.

JR Smith hit a three-pointer, and the point difference between the two sides came to 21 points with 6 minutes left in the game. This is the biggest point difference between the two sides since the finals. Although Harris immediately found an opportunity to complete dunks in the Nets penalty area, but looking back, he was fouled by Chasing Dream Green.

Barclays Center turned into a sea of ​​joy.

With three minutes left in the game, the Clippers hadn't replaced the main players and surrendered. The Nets, which had a 20-point advantage, replaced the main players first. This is a kind of extreme confidence. There is no need for the Clippers to surrender. When you lose!

One minute later, the point difference was still 17 points. The Clippers' last hope of counterattack basically passed away. Rivers also removed the main players and lost the shot.

In the final 123 to 110, the Nets held two home courts with a 13-point advantage, and headed to Los Angeles with a great psychological advantage.
