Build a Dream Dynasty

After that, the Nets went to Detroit to challenge the Pistons, the once dominant Eastern Conference leader.

As the two best teams in the East in the first five years of the 21st century, the Nets and the Pistons can be quite related. In the Eastern Conference finals of the 20203 season, the Nets humiliated the Pistons with a score of 4:0, and entered the finals for two consecutive seasons, but they were still unable to compete with the Spurs who came out of the Western Conference. Duncan let the Nets The team's inside line became a sieve, and it almost abducted Kidd, the first person in the history of the Nets. In the 0304 season, after the Pistons traded for Rasheed Wallace, the new century defeated the Nets for the first time and entered the finals, but luckily picked up the head sent by Kobe, and Feixia contributed the most in his entire career. During the undercover round series, he played mindlessly and inefficiently, and at the same time minimized O'Neal's lethality to a minimum. The Pistons defeated the Lakers 4:1 and won the post-Jordan era, the first Eastern Conference championship! Then began the glory of entering the Eastern Conference finals for six consecutive years, while the Nets gradually declined until Jiang Mingliang took over.

After the peak, it will inevitably usher in the whereabouts, sacrifice many veterans, and carefully cultivate the future core Stucky finally proved that he can't be used. The team’s contributions are few and far between. The current Pistons team is completely in the same position. Let’s hit the playoffs. It seems a bit difficult. The lineup, also can not pull this face.

It seems that the 11th-ranked Pistons in the Eastern Conference have some gaps with the fourth-ranked Nets, and the Nets should be in a state of victory in this game, but the actual game is far better than history. Stevens imagined it was more difficult. On the one hand, it was because of a person Stevens ignored, Pistons rookie point guard Knight. Due to Ben Gordon's injury, Stuckey was swayed to the second position, and Knight got the opportunity to start. The rookie's performance is very positive, with good physical fitness and good offensive skills, and he has ample opportunities to perform in a team like the Pistons. Another reason for the Nets' struggle in this game is that the referee is a bit biased, and the scale of the whistleblower game has a bias that exceeds the home field advantage of the Pistons.

That's the way the NBA is, and some games are terribly controversial. If you submit to adversity, you may be the beneficiary next time. But if you make trouble for the alliance, the alliance will teach you some lessons.

That is Knight, Monroe's strength failed to beat the Nets even with the blessing of the whistle, otherwise, the Nets would have to swallow the bitter fruit of the losing streak. At 111:104, the Nets won a victory, and the Pistons were also satisfied with the performance of the two young men in the team, Monroe and Knight. Perhaps in the next season, they can find the direction of the team's exercise.

In the shortened season, the team did not have much time to adjust. After that, the Nets came to the cold Milwaukee to face the Bucks. This season's Bucks are quite a bit like the Nets last season. When the lineup is not optimistic, they rely on the impact of young players in the team and a core outsider with outstanding scoring ability (Jennings) And an inside core (Bogut) who stabilizes the team's offense and defense in the penalty area, temporarily ranking eighth in the East. Even their starting Ilyasova in the power forward position is also a shooting player.

However, players in the team have both advantages and disadvantages, especially on the flanks. Those who can shoot have no body, and those who have physical skills are rough. This situation invisibly limits the Bucks' ability to fight against strong teams. Especially, the forwards in the league now This position is really full of talent. In the face of Delfino, Baa Motte's level of insider, George and Leonard can show their "fierce neck" side.

At the beginning of the game, the Nets did the same. Facing Delfino, George seemed to see himself against Anthony. He was so confident that he was even happy enough to signal West to the weak side, and he wanted to play with his back. .

At the other end of the game, Stevens repeatedly reminded players on the long side to be calm and to strengthen defense. Compared with Anderson, Ilyasova has a tougher playing style. Even better, impressed Stevens.

"Last season, part of the reason we won a lot of games was because our opponents treated us psychologically. I hope you don't make this mistake. The Bucks are well prepared today, and we have to prepare for difficulties!" After an official timeout, the Nets led 16:12 by 4 points. On the sidelines, Stevens educated him hard.

The advantage of the wing is visible to the naked eye, but it is only 4 points ahead, which has nothing to do with the team's inadvertent betting on defense, which makes Stevens unbearable. Another obvious reason is that in this game, Bledsoe had some changes on both ends of offense and defense.

Since entering the league, Bledsoe has been known for his defense and impact. As soon as he entered the league, he got the position of the main point guard of the Nets. Bledsoe also held the attitude of "treating me with a national scholar~www.readwn.com~ I will report it as a national scholar" for Stevens. potency. On the defensive end, he invested a lot of energy and became a point guard who has received a lot of recognition in this area. On the offensive end, thanks to the space created by the two top shooters Anderson and Korver, after a pick-and-roll, he Can use his breakthrough to tear the opponent's defense, and then decide the next attack option.

But in this season, the situation has changed significantly. The addition of West has changed the team’s offensive gambling routine. Leonard replaced Korver as the starting lineup, and the team’s ability to attract defense from the outside has declined. George's players are also increasing in an orderly manner. The only thing that is not going well is Bledsoe. Bledsoe's scoring average has dropped from 8.6 points last season to this season when his shooting percentage has increased somewhat compared to last season. The season averaged 7.5 points and the number of shots dropped sharply by 1.4. This is really not a scene that Bledsoe wants to see.

However, Stevens, who noticed this, did not point out Bledsoe's problem, but arranged for him to use him as the starting point of the attack.

As a college coach, Stevens knows too well how to channel the emotions of young players. When a player sacrifices for the team for a long time without getting response and feedback, some negativity is a must. Satisfying him at the right time can actually stimulate his enthusiasm more.

It's like the Thunder's first offense at the start, it will be handed over to Perkins to deal with if you can choose, even if you know that his ball is basically sent, you must satisfy him. A more classic example is that the Warriors let Dream Chaser Green hold the ball at the top of the arc in the regular season. Curry, Thompson, and Durant run around him. Although it reduces the loss, the more important purpose must be to maintain Green's enthusiasm for defensive betting. .

Once in a while, let Bledsoe take a whirl!
