In the last game of 2016, the Nets ushered in a rematch with the Miami Heat at home.

Porzingis won the jump ball and the game started.

George passed the ball to Porzingis, who was pulled out of the perimeter, and then ran to the right corner, Teodosic was 70 degrees on the right, Leonard and Ilyasova were on the left, all pulled opened.

Porzingis holds the ball in the middle, and Monroe puts him two steps away.

Porzingis swayed to the side, and suddenly shot a jumper from the middle. Monroe stepped forward to interfere, and it was too late to take off to block the block. He just stretched out his hand symbolically. Porzingis felt very soft, and the strength was just right. ! 3 to 0.

The Heat attacked, Waiters and Monroe played a pick-and-roll in the middle, and Porzingis switched defenses.

Waiters walked the right side and divided the ball into the center. Monroe squeezed George to the inside. Ilyasova retreated to form a double-team. Monroe split the ball in time.

The Nets attacked in a positional battle, the players pulled away, and the ball was given to Porzingis again.

Ilyasova screened Leonard without the ball on the left. The latter ran 70 degrees to the left and received a pass from Porzingis.

Ellington's shooting was okay, but his physical confrontation was not at the same level as Leonard's. He was carried into the penalty area by Brother Kazi, and Winslow hurriedly changed defenses, but he couldn't stop Leonard. Slow throws the ball in.

Curry has completed the legendary record of three MVPs in a row, and it is impossible for him to do so again. Coupled with the average attendance rate this season, the Nets and even the entire New York side have focused more on Leonard this season, trying to help Leonard win more votes and attention.

The Heat attacked, and Bridon Knight brought it to the frontcourt. After the pick-and-roll, the Nets shrank the penalty area inside and passed the ball to Ellington on the outside. Shot and hit under interference.

Teodosic took it to the frontcourt and played a pick-and-roll with Ilyasova in the middle to the right, which attracted Winslow's defense and passed back to the middle. Ilyasova had an obvious advantage in the face of Knight but did not choose to make a shot. He passed the ball from above his head to Porzingis under the basket. The latter caught the ball and turned over and missed a jumper. George grabbed the offensive rebound and missed a supplement , but caused Monroe's foul.

In the Heat, Monroe's defensive awareness is slowly getting stronger, but he still lacks experience. Of course, for him, it is a good thing to have this promotion. For him, a positive example is Brook Lopez, the former main center of the Nets. Once upon a time, Lopez was also a typical traditional center. He was good at low-post offense and inside top defense, but he was not good at helping defense and defending pick-and-rolls. But in the last two years of the Nets, Lopez completed a transformation and became a player with A modern center who shoots and protects the rim. The Heat is a place where training is very rigorous, but it is this kind of environment that is of great help to players in improving themselves.

George made two free throws, and the Nets continued to maintain their lead.

The Heat attacked, and the team used continuous pick-and-rolls to test the shrinkage of the Nets' defense. In the end, they couldn't find an open space. Monroe's strong attack missed the basket, and Ilyasova got the rebound.

In the next round of offense, the Nets made a mistake in coordination. George ran to the side to catch the ball, accidentally stepped on the sideline, and sent the ball.

The Heat attacked, and Ellington ran to catch the ball from the side and hit a three-pointer to tie the score. This outside shooter felt good at the beginning and caused some trouble for the Nets.

But on the defensive end, facing Leonard, Ellington's defense is still a bit difficult. Leonard relies on Ellington to catch the ball with his back, turns to the baseline, uses his height advantage to jump up with all his strength, and shoots from the right side , hit the board and scored, 9:7.

The Heat attacked, and the cooperation between Knight and Ellington made a mistake. George quickly intercepted the ball with his eyesight and hands, and came to the frontcourt with the ball. He made a fast-break three-pointer full of confidence, and opened the point difference to 5 points. George's goal also ignited the enthusiasm of the Barclays Center, and the fans began to cheer loudly on the sidelines.

Although Leonard is more powerful on the card, the popular George is obviously more popular with fans.

Looking back, George's ubiquitous defense once again prevented the Heat's offense from being open. Waiters misplaced Leonard and missed a jump shot. The rebound was grabbed by Leonard, and suddenly a A long pass to the frontcourt, George is about to get off, catches the ball and rushes into the penalty area, jumps with both feet, reverses a 360-degree turn with his body stretched, and dunks with his right hand, 14 to 7.

This is the slam dunk action completed during the George Warriors period, and once brought this action to the stage of the slam dunk contest. After breaking his tibia, George didn't dare to show off such a dazzling dunk for a long time. Until today, he suddenly had confidence. The point difference was gradually opened by the Nets, and Spoelstra had to call a timeout.

George's performance received thunderous cheers from the fans. The performance of the Nets this season has fluctuated. The main reason is of course Curry's injury, but some of them have not experienced the period when George led the team to rise Fans actually complain about the impact of George's arrival on the team's bench depth. After all, it is not necessarily a good thing for superstars to insert themselves into the championship team's operating system. Fortunately, this beautiful dunk must be popular.

After the timeout ended, the Heat's defensive strength went up two levels, defending two rounds. At this time, Leonard still stood up and beat Winslow first. Then he assisted Ilyasova to hit a three-pointer. As a last resort, in order to deal with Leonard, the Heat arranged double-teaming and relaxed the defense of others, while the Nets played this extreme space basketball to the extreme, leading by 39:24 in the first quarter 15 marks. In the second quarter, Stevens replaced Van Vleet, Caruso, Joe Johnson, West, and Wood. Robertson, who was weak in offense, fell out of the Nets' rotation in this game. Joe Johnson will take the lead. Although Van Vleet and Caruso have average shooting abilities, both of them have good athletic ability, which can help Joe Johnson relieve pressure on the defensive end. Veteran West, who has returned from injury, can also Being able to get to the free throw line to make a fuss, the team can make more changes on the offensive end. The Nets' bench lineup is also rapidly running in as the season progresses, and its performance is getting better and better.

Compared with the past few seasons, there must be some gaps. But compared to the daily digging for the main force at the beginning of the season, it is already a good performance. If Van Vleet and Wood continue to maintain this speed of improvement, Stevens will definitely be more comfortable in lineup deployment. The team In this season's competition, there will be more hope.
