This Forward is Not Serious

Vol 2 Chapter 533: Rotation storm

"I don't care, who cares about that kind of thing, we won didn't we?"

Green didn't expect that he would be ridiculed like this just because of a bad feeling, so he said with a calm smile when asked by reporters on the training day.

Green was very calm, and then,

He really couldn't get in.

A month after the start of the game, Green's three-point shooting was only 12.2%!

You must know that his three-point shooting rate was as high as 38.8% last season, and G6 in the finals even made seven three-pointers in a single game!

No one can understand this cliff-like decline.

Although the arrival of James has greatly weakened Green's tactical position, it is impossible for him to affect Green's open three-pointer!

And even if Green's mouth is stubborn, he can't explain why he can't make the shot.

Of course, this does not affect the Warriors' record.

most of the time.

A month into the game, the Warriors are 14-1.

The 14-game winning streak at the start of the season was very hopeful for them, who started the 24-game winning streak last season, and finally lost to the Wizards, and the winning streak was ended.

Although the lineup is exaggerated and the fault tolerance rate is very low, it cannot be targeted in fights.

Green went 0 for 7 from beyond the arc in that game!

The more he missed the shot, the more the Wizards let him go.

And as a comparison, Yi Jianlian, who was opposite him, made 4 of 5 shots from beyond the arc.

"We were lucky, Green didn't feel very good, otherwise we wouldn't have won the game haha."

After the game, the head coach of the Wizards, who was also the former mentor of Durant, Brooks, smiled happily.

Beating the Warriors with a splash of James, he will definitely lose a night of sleep.

But even if the streak ends, the Warriors are still the . . . second-best team to start the season.

Because of the Nets, they started the game with 15 wins and 0 losses, and they are undefeated!

Although the team was on the verge of losing several times, Lin Ying always used his personal ability to win the game.

It's not that his personal ability has improved a lot compared to last season, but that he really doesn't need to exert much effort in the first three quarters.

A thing that is easily overlooked but reasonable, Jokic has grown up again!

Last season, Barkley's training effect on him began to show, and his offensive ability in the post was greatly improved.

And Lu's use of him is very different from Karl.

During the starting period, Jokic must be on the outside only when the ball is in Lin Ying's hands.

At other times, he is basically in the low post or high post.

The low position is for offense, and the high position is for support, and now he can perfectly meet Lu's requirements for both.

Of course, there is another point, because Lu has a little too much trust in Jokic. The little fat man's playing time has increased by 5 minutes compared with last season, which has been directly increased from 27 minutes last season to 32 minutes this season.

Originally, Karl let Lin Ying play the full first quarter last season, but now this role has become Jokic's.

The little fat man was so angry that he didn't dare to speak, and he felt that his face had lost a lot of weight.

But the effect proves that Lu really understands the ball.

Because after Ross came up, Jokic's offensive end became a big fort on the top of the arc, and the effect of clearing the space was much better than when Lin Ying was present.

In addition, Lin Ying and Durant have increased their three-point production this season. They are tall, and they don't need to run the whole court like Curry to shoot three-pointers, and their physical consumption has become smaller.

One side is 14 wins and 1 loss, and the other side is 15 wins and 0 losses. As predicted by many fans before the start of the season, the main theme of this season is the game between the Nets and the Warriors.

Not only when the two teams face each other, but the record is also secretly contested, and even fans are fighting each other on social media every day.

The Nets fans kept teasing Green, and also kindly reminded the Warriors to trade Green quickly.

Of course, there will be a friendly reminder from fans soon that Green just signed a five-year, $90 million contract with the Warriors, and it's hard to get a better deal than him.

That's a nice reminder indeed, as Green's playmaking and defense, as well as his ability to top center in a small-ball lineup, doesn't have much to offer other than his lack of shots.

And what are the Warriors fans doing? They are waiting for when Ross gets hurt.

Rose has been injured every season in the past, only last season was slightly better, playing more than 60 games.

But after arriving at the Nets this season, he has been in full attendance since the preseason.

It's not normal, so they're all waiting, and even some extreme fans are cursing maliciously.

Then, their expectations came true.

Rose missed the game against the 76ers in December due to an injury.

This moment attracted cheers and celebrations from Warriors fans, and they vividly explained what it means to gloat over misfortune on social media.

It's just that when they were still celebrating, the Nets official followed up and explained.

Rose missed the game due to hip discomfort.

This moment touched their sensitive nerves.

For this reason, Popovich is always used to rest players!

And the Nets absolutely have a reason to do so, as their rivals, the Sixers, are in the process of "believing the process."

After Embiid missed his rookie season due to injury two years ago, Ben Simmons, who they selected this year, did not play a game and was reimbursed for the season due to injury. In addition, there are no stars in the team. It is a serious team. .

The Nets have every reason to be rested in a game like this!

The facts also quickly proved their speculation. In the next game against the Raptors, Rose ushered in a comeback after only two days of rest, scoring 22 points on the bench to help the team overcome the opponent and help the Nets. The team extended its record to 17 wins and 0 losses.

This time, the Warriors fans directly climaxed.

They protested on social media.

What "Some Ross fans watch Ross play a game in their entire life, and Ross even took a break", "Taking a break is a very unprofessional behavior", "This is a very selfish behavior, and let the fans and the league pay for the players' rest" and other remarks There are endless.

In fact, however, such protests did not have much effect.

Because things like resting aren't against league rules.

For example, the hip tension, it actually has this kind of injury, but whether it is serious enough to affect the performance, it depends on the player's own feeling.

And the originator of the rest is Popovich. He started the rest at the beginning, but apart from being ridiculed by the fans, there was no other substantial punishment.

To put it 10,000 steps back, the Nets just rested a bench player in a game against a weak team that received little attention. This incident was only magnified by the Warriors fans, and the incident itself was not big at all.

Then, in the game against the Blazers, Durant missed the game again with a sore throat!

The Nets' play style is simple, but the consumption of core players is greater than expected, because the ball is basically in your hands, even if you just hit a sudden point, you can't stand a lot of times, and the loss is also large. The season is so long, It can be said that Lu's choice of rotation is inevitable.

Then some people may ask, wouldn't Lu find a more reliable reason?

This is actually not easy to find, because some things need to be proved. For example, if you have a knee injury, you must have an injury certificate, right?

If you have gastroenteritis, you must have a medical checklist, right?

This is also the reason why Popovich's reasons were so bizarre in the first place, that is, a bug in the card league rules.

Of course, this has also attracted even greater protests from Warriors fans, because it is not Ross who is resting this time, but Durant!

But the league still did not respond.

In fact, because of the long 82-game schedule in the season, the Nets are not alone in the rotation. As long as they do not go too far, the league will generally not care.

And you have to know one thing, rotation also has strength.

If you don’t have that strength, if you take a break and lose the game, your record is not as good as expected, and you may even fall out of the playoffs, then you are the one who suffers.

Then, more extremes came.

Lu said that it was too difficult to compile reasons. In the game against the Kings, he rested Lin Ying, Jokic and Rose in one breath!

The king is also the fish belly of Wannian, only slightly better than the 76ers.

Then Lu gave the three reasons as follows: Ross was on normal rest, Lin Ying was too tired, and Jokic had a sore hand.

Alliance, still no response.

Because the Nets' rotation details are well grasped, they are basically against the underdogs, and the attention is not high.

Lu was a fledgling, and he was already familiar with Popovich's rest routine.

To put it simply, if it weren't for Lu's lack of looks, he would have had the title of "Young Marshal"!

This time, though, the protests from Warriors fans reached a climax.

And the Warriors finally did something to touch the red line in response to the fans.

They rested Green in the game against the Clippers on the National Live!

Although it sounds a bit tricky.

The last time the Warriors and Clippers played against each other was at the beginning of the season, when the two teams fought back and forth until the last minute to decide the winner.

But this time, without Green's Warriors, the Clippers were beaten in three quarters.

After going through the double embarrassing situation of "missing the game, winning and returning to lose" in the finals last season, now he has encountered the "embarrassment of whoever wins the game".

The league then penalized the Warriors after the game, and they were fined $100,000.

The punishment is so severe.

But the Warriors are clearly doing more than just looking for fun.

After being punished, the Warriors official tweet soon published a status: The same is a rested player, why is the result different?

They directly brought up the word rest and admitted that the treatment of Green was a rest.

In other words, what they want is [fairness].

This approach was eventually responded to by the league.

Because such a farce continues, it is the NBA brand that is smashed.

You must know that the four major sports leagues in North America are also in competition with each other, and the influence of the NBA is only at the back of the four major leagues.

So the league introduced a ban on rotating rest.

"No team may take a break during a game without a reason, including a reason for taking a break without a medical certificate."

This wave is a slash to the rotation, and it also shows the attitude of the alliance to calm down this matter.

But doing so has a huge impact.

For example, the Nets played against the Magic on this day. According to the team plan, Durant would rest in this game. He did have some muscle soreness, but there is no medical proof for this!

This made Durant complain to Lin Ying during training.

Lin Ying also felt that the alliance's approach was not thoughtful.

Because the rest itself is definitely needed, not everyone has the physique to play 82 games.

In particular, the Warriors rushed to 73 wins last year, which caused Curry to be overtired and injured in the first round, which finally led to a decrease in the viewing of the finals.

This is a loss for both the Warriors and the league.

And the league has this rule, and the Nets can't say that they only let Durant play for a few minutes and then rest.

Because although doing so is not against the rules, it is obviously against the alliance.

"It should only be a temporary decision, there should be a protest from the team and then some adjustments will be made."

Lin Ying said after thinking.

If nothing else, things should go as Lin Ying said.

That night, the game between the Nets and the Magic kicked off in Orlando.

Durant, who was originally scheduled to rest, was also forced to start.

Then, if nothing else, an accident happened.

Durant was impatient in the game, and after a physical entanglement with Lopez, he expressed dissatisfaction with the referee's decision.

After the referee gave the warning whistle, he was still chattering, and finally got a technical foul.

Then after being dragged back to the bench by his teammates, he got up and sprayed the referee again.

Nearly 20 years of keyboard career, the speed of spraying people into the state is very fast.

This time the referee couldn't bear it anymore, and directly gave another technical foul.

Durant took two technical fouls in a row and was ejected directly.

Then, Durant smiled.

It looked like a disdainful smile at the referee, and like... a successful smile.

The referee also reacted after being stunned for a while, good guy, Durant is obviously looking for a whistle!

The league did not allow him to take a rest, and the Nets couldn't openly confront the league, and then Durant was shrewd and asked for expulsion directly!

In this way, apart from being fined after the game and accumulating two technical offenders, there is no other loss!

Lin Ying also recalled it.

It has to be said that Durant can score nine points in this wave of operations.

The missing point~www.wuxiahere.com~ is because he didn't tell him before the game.

Durant's absence didn't affect the game much.

After successfully winning the Magic, the Nets have made a 20-game winning streak!

This wave is called a break, and I have played the show, but I can win.

Of course, the direct effect of this wave of operations was to advance what Lin Ying said.

Without the need for other teams to protest to the league, Durant's action directly allowed the league to revise the previous rules.

"No team may take an unexcused rest during a nationally televised game, and may not rest more than three or more players in all games, including a reason for a rest that cannot be certified medically."

There are a few more words, but the meaning is completely different.

Moreover, it is also significantly more realistic.

Durant's coquettish operation directly accelerated the historical process of the league!
