With the matchup of the bench lineup, the Clippers' bench players successfully held back the advantage of the Nets. When Durant comes back, the situation on the court is relatively unfavorable for the Nets. Stevens made some adjustments to the formation, leaving Joe Johnson, who performed well in this game, on the court, adding an offensive point to put pressure on the Clippers' defense. Of course, this move will allow the Clippers to gain more space on the offensive end, but Stevens has his own plan, at least Joe Johnson will not be singled out like Ilyasova.

For the Clippers, all the main players except Embiid returned. In the first round after his appearance, Fernandez completed the one-stop service of stealing, counterattacking and dunking, which once again ignited the passion of Staples fans.

Speaking of which, Fernandez is also a veteran who is almost 32 years old. This season is also his contract year. He still hopes to continue to get a pension contract. Therefore, he is also following the development of the league and passively proceeding. transformation. Reduce your own personal possession, improve your outside shooting percentage, and invest more energy on the defensive end. Of course, Fernandez also has his own advantages as the qualified second position of the championship team. The current salary of the Clippers has reached the edge of the salary cap. With Fernandez leaving, it is difficult for the team to sign stronger players in the limited salary space. If they want to maintain their competitiveness in the championship, they can only renew Fernandez. Of course, the premise of all this is that Durant stays on the team. If Durant chooses to leave, the Clippers will inevitably rebuild around Embiid, and Fernandez will be "dispensable" when he turns 32.

High returns are bound to be accompanied by high risks. In the first quarter, Teodosic's pass was the lifeline for the Nets to maintain the stalemate, but this pass must be accompanied by mistakes. Joe Johnson's stay on the court is also a point to assist Teodosic as a second organization. The Nets attacked. Porzingis pulled the ball from the wing and then completed a hand-to-hand cooperation with Joe Johnson. fall into the net.

The offensive end helped the team overtake the score, and the defensive end Joe Johnson was also scheming. Facing the Clippers' fast serve and fast break, Joe Johnson fouled Dreaming Green in time and stopped the Clippers' offensive and defensive transition.

The Clippers served the ball at halftime. Durant and Green rushed to the free throw line after completing the pick-and-roll cooperation, and faced Joe Johnson's defensive pull-up and made a mid-range shot. This is his murderous weapon, and there is no solution at all.

Jiang Mingliang shrugged, feeling a little helpless. Some things come from talent, which is why Jordan is Jordan and O'Neal is O'Neal.

Once upon a time, Durant was also the only star Jiang Mingliang was willing to trade for at all costs. Even if he didn't have the chance to get Durant in the summer and form the strongest team in history, Jiang Mingliang would feel a little troubled in his heart.

It's just that, in this self-built team, is the wing composed of Leonard and George really worse than the Clippers with Durant raising the upper limit? Jiang Mingliang didn't think so. Leonard never thinks this way. Although he does not have the ability to solve hard problems like Durant, Leonard has continuously enriched his arsenal through long-term hard training, even in the face of Durant. Even if he really can't defend the opponent, Leonard can respond to Durant on the offensive end.

Pulling to the low position to catch the ball, Leonard shook his shoulders and made a turnaround jumper posture, but when Durant moved his center of gravity, he made a beautiful back turn and flashed an angle, grabbing Gortat's defense Wipe the board for a hit.

A beautiful goal, Leonard is still expressionless, just slapped George's ass who came to celebrate, and then the two ran to the backcourt together.

The body of a mortal is comparable to that of a god. This is not a kind of power!

The Clippers attacked, and the Nets formed a pincer attack on Durant in a timely manner. Durant had some problems with the ball under the pinch attack. Green did not catch the ball very smoothly, and then distributed the ball to Fernandez. The defense is already in place. Fernandez made a fake shot and made a real shot, and pointed to George. After a time difference, he made a mid-range shot.

The Nets used to be the No. 2 scorer in the finals, and now they have become one of their strongest opponents!

On the sidelines, Curry also applauded the wonderful performance of his former teammates. Curry and Fernandez have a good relationship.

The Nets attacked, and Teodosic broke into the basket to attract supplementary defenses and then gave the ball to Porzingis, who was involved near the bottom line. The latter missed a mid-range shot. Green grabbed the backcourt rebound and sent a pass directly. , Fernandez has quietly rushed to the frontcourt and scored an easy layup.

This scene also made many fans of the Nets cry. Once upon a time, this was also the classic counterattack routine of the Nets, but now, things have changed.

From Jiang Mingliang's point of view, he actually doesn't want Fernandez and Green to leave. However, the changes of many things cannot be transferred by Jiang Mingliang's will. With the salary system of 2014, it is really not easy for the team to charge a higher price for Fernandez, otherwise the super luxury tax will be easily triggered in the follow-up, causing the subsequent teams to face heavy penalties. The transaction of Green is also for the better development of the team. Objectively speaking, last season achieved the best record of 74 wins in the regular season and 16-1 in the playoffs. It can be said that it is the greatest season in NBA history. . After completing this legendary journey of 4 years and 3 championships, the mentality of the players will definitely change. Proper exchange of blood and innovation is both a stimulus and a decompression for the players. If there were any ups and downs this season, it was due to Jiang Mingliang's random manipulation and destruction of the team's original system, and had nothing to do with the players. What's more, Green + Brogdon + the Eagles' pick to switch to George is definitely an improvement in the lineup.

The Nets launched an attack again, and the Clippers' perimeter defense was extremely tight, but Gortat's defensive pace on the inside was a bit slow. Porzingis also handled the ball quickly, and made a free throw line. The connection from the fake move to the direct shot was very fast, and the ball was hit steadily, helping the team to stop the bleeding.

So far in the game, Porzingis has not been at a disadvantage as expected, which can be regarded as helping Porzingis regain some confidence. Of course, I don't deny that Embiid has some factors in it, but at least, the confidence in Porzingis is a recovery process.

The Clippers made a substitution, Rivers replaced Embiid, the Clippers returned to the starting lineup, and the test of the Nets officially began!
