New Century Basketball Frenzy

Chapter 395 Battle of the Strongest Point Guard

The battle between the old and new point guards that can take away the Lakers' focus in New York, of course sparked a fierce spark.

Although the overall strength of the Nets is far inferior to the Golden State Warriors, they are very tenacious with their home court advantage.

Varanda also played his best against Curry.Originally this season he developed more of his offense.

Even if he didn't say it himself, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Varanda is paying tribute to Curry, the strongest point guard in NBA history.

If it is said that Zhang Yi has become the successor of the small Curry in people's mouth by relying on his ability.Now in Curry's personal eyes, he still feels that Varanda's personal experience and future abilities are more like himself.

No matter what the Nets' results can be in the end, after all, Varanda is still young, and he can even choose a new team.

Although none of the great players in history left the team without achieving results.Even if people don't mind, but for Varanda, his first task is to bring the Nets back to the playoffs.

There is another very important thing, that is, the need to help the team get back to the finals.

The Nets have never been involved in the finals for so many years in team history. The best result all the time is to enter the finals and get the runner-up.

But even so, players who have done this are worshiped as gods by the city.If Varanda can help the team reach the finals.

So even if he leaves, the city will not talk about him behind his back. After all, it is not a big ball market in such a team without a strong team tradition.

It is still too difficult to really cultivate a superstar.Varanda will be a hero in New Jersey if he can lead the team to the Finals.

This is different from the burden on Zhang Yi.For the Lakers, countless superstars have been born in their history.

If Zhang Yi wants to reach the same historical status as a celebrity, one experience in the finals is far from enough.Not only is it impossible to reach the finals, he also needs to guarantee 5 or 6 championships in his limited personal career.

Because no matter which Lakers star has led the team to play a dynasty in his career.

This has almost become the standard for the Lakers to select team history stars for so many years.Los Angeles fans are also more strict when choosing historical status.

They have seen too many great players, and this big city is not so easy to be impressed by a player.

Not to mention that Zhang Yi doesn't have any personal honors now, even if he is called Curry's successor, he must have won three consecutive championships at least once and led the Lakers to a dynasty.

Now he has no way to stand together with all the Lakers celebrities.It's just that Varanda's current situation is completely different from Zhang Yi's.

Although Varanda played a triple-double in front of Curry.But to be honest, his dominance is still a bit weaker.

Especially when leading the team to play offense, facing this idol in his heart, Varanda also appeared a little nervous for the first time.

He is a famous player with a big heart, but Varanda has never been nervous when playing against Zhang Yi or against Sean and others.

When facing the Golden State Warriors in the preseason, they missed an opportunity because Curry rested as usual.

The current Varanda is completely acting like a fanboy. Although after being raped by Curry once, his excited mentality has returned to normal, but no matter what the ending is, he only wants to play his best in front of his idol.

The Nets are completely different from the Lakers. Without Varanda, they have almost no chance to challenge the Warriors.The strength of the two teams is basically the same day by day.

Therefore, Varanda has no time to rest at all. Even when Morris leads the team alone, Curry and others will have a climax.

The Nets can only rely on Varanda's transfer more often.Although with his assists, Morris and others can also play a good efficiency.

But a team with him or without him is basically two levels.After experiencing the coaching change, Curry also started to grow a beard.

This is actually similar to his father Stephen Curry, who also started to grow a beard after a failed season.

Originally, the two of them looked very similar, but now they both started to grow beards, making people feel in a trance that this is the comeback of the "cute god" Curry.

Not only are they similar in appearance, but Curry, who has returned to the organizational style of play, even behaves similarly to his father on the court.

So this makes Varanda and Curry's style of play closer and closer.The audience was like seeing two Golden State Warriors facing off.

It's just that the only difference is that in addition to offense, the Warriors' style of play also has high-intensity defensive capabilities.

When they faced the offense of the Nets, not only was Curry consuming Varanda's offensive energy, but he could often complete steals.

Even if Varanda adapts to the strength of the opponent later, he can finally complete normal passing and receiving.But so did the rest of the Nets.

Although they try to run according to the tactics, the tactics of playing off the ball are similar.And looking at the most authentic in the league is the Golden State Warriors.

So even if other positions don't have Curry's high-intensity defensive skills, it's the same if you take it seriously.

The Warriors are going through a tough time right now.Although the acting head coach has been following the old coach and has a good relationship with the main players.

But after experiencing this turmoil, their records and rankings also experienced a huge decline.

Coupled with the fact that Curry has been suspended for a period of time, and now that he is back, they are naturally catching up and want to end the last season of the team boss perfectly.

Everyone on the Warriors played so actively that even though the Nets had a good point guard.But no one else could convert the chances Varanda created into points.

The point difference between the two teams is getting bigger and bigger. In the end, Varanda can only stabilize the situation through his own offense.

It's like the confrontation between Varanda and Zhang Yi. Although he has a strong personal offensive ability, he can still hit a high shooting percentage against defenders other than Curry.

When Curry, No. 1 in the league, reappeared after a break, Varanda's offense was immediately restricted.

On the contrary, when Curry played singles, although his physical condition is not at its best, he can still play a hot offense and defense.

Varanda is still able to defend outside shooters, but it is still difficult to deal with players like Curry who can rely on physical strength to complete the attack.

In the confrontation between the old and new point guards, Varanda still lost.The Golden State Warriors finally beat the Nets, ending the topic of the battle for the strongest point guard in active service.
