Build a Dream Dynasty

On November 11, it was Singles’ Day and a shopping festival in China. The Nets started a three-game trip to the West. The opponent in the first game was the Pelicans led by Brother Nongmei.

After three seasons of training, Davis has grown into a first-line star in the league. Although the Pelicans' performance has never been up, Davis' personal data and honor have soared, even if he is criticized for his "honor" A "swinger" person also has to admit his own strength, and the title of "empty chopping group leader" is more of an expression of helplessness. Even taking into account the age factor and position issues, many media have regarded Brother Nongmei as the player with the highest transaction value in the league, which is also a great recognition for him.

However, transaction value never represents strength. At least if you propose a single exchange for Brother Nongmei, the management of at least ten players in the league will definitely not agree.

With Davis, the league's top insider, and helpers like Evans, Gordon, and Anderson, the Pelicans shouldn't have such a bad performance. There are many reasons for this team's poor performance. The first is serious Injury problems, Gordon, Davis, and Evans used to have a relatively serious injury history. They would be absent from time to time, and the team's combat effectiveness could not be fully exerted. The second problem was the team's defense, especially on the outside. On defense, Davis' exaggerated high-level data on the defensive end proves his own ability, and it also confirms that the Pelicans have many problems on the defensive end as a whole, and Davis needs to fill up everywhere, "swiping" exaggerated data. , The last point is also a very crucial point, the Pelicans did not play the key ball at the critical moment.

In terms of position, the inside players themselves are not suitable for lore shots, because their ability to break double teams must be relatively weak, but Davis' shooting ability has further improved in the past two seasons, especially shooting from beyond the three-point line. The ability is also fully developed, in short, Davis will do whatever the Pelicans do.

This game against the Nets was also a typical Pelicans-style game. After the opening, under the leadership of Brother Nongmei, the Pelicans played fiercely. Gordon and Evans were able to make hits and help the ball one after another. Team points. However, as the Nets strengthened their defense on the defensive end, the teammates around Brother Nongmei gradually fell behind, and it was again in the dilemma of Brother Nongmei who singled out a team.

As the champion, he was just waiting to be parachuted into a rotten team and start rebuilding in the rubble. Rose's next champions, however, are not very good in the early stages of their careers. The problems of their respective teams cannot be solved by themselves. Brother Nongmei is lucky, at least he has been recognized by the league and the media, brushed enough honors, and then easily triggered the Ross clause. According to the salary budget for next season, he is likely to get a five-year 1.45 The huge contract of 100 million US dollars, this contract amount is even more than Curry earned.

Porzingis’ personal offense was greatly affected under the greeting of Brother Nongmei, and without Curry, other people have little ability to use their own offensive threats to create opportunities for Porzingis to eat cakes. The Latvians are considered today. shriveled. However, JR and Leonard had a wonderful performance on the outside. The two scored 32 points in the first half and helped the team return to the locker room with a 9-point advantage 56:47.

In the second half of the game, the Pelicans failed to organize a too effective counterattack. The Nets continued to make a fuss about the advantage of the team's flank position and firmly suppressed Evans and Gordon. In the end, the team ended with 106. He defeated the Pelicans by 92, continued unbeaten in the season, and steadily suppressed other opponents with a five-game winning streak, ranking first in the Eastern Conference.

Leonard played 35 minutes in the whole game, made 9 of 16 shots, 3 of 4 free throws, and scored 24 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists. JR Smith played even better on the offensive end, scoring 27 points in the whole game. The outstanding performance of these two men laid the foundation for the team to continue winning streak.

Leading a team to a win without Curry is crucial for Leonard. Although he is temporarily positioned as the "Pippen" next to Curry, Leonard, who is positioned as the team's second leader, has not even entered the All-Star team. In the past two seasons, if not for injuries, he would have Become an All-Star. This season, he has to fulfill this long-cherished wish no matter what.

Leonard is working hard to become an All-Star. Fernandez, another good helper by Curry’s side, got into trouble with the Cavaliers. In the previous game against the Nets, Fernandez had an altercation with Irving. , the two did not reach a settlement.

The team is unstable, and the negative impact is self-evident. There are rumors that the Cavaliers have the idea of ​​trading Fernandez. And there are already many teams that have taken a fancy to the former championship flank, including the Nets' opponent in the next game, the Los Angeles Clippers.

When Jerry West took office, he made a drastic trade away from Paul. Of course, his target was not Harris, but Embiid, the second-place pick in 14 years. West even let go of Jordan in the summer to make room for Embiid. Embiid's role in the Clippers' top spot is also a matter of course. And Dadi did not disappoint the team this season. He proved that he is not just Rihanna's licking dog on social media. He scored a double-double of 14+11 in 26 minutes of playing time per game, which was a gratifying performance. In terms of data, there is not much difference with Jordan, but Embiid's comprehensiveness on the offensive end and his dominance on the defensive end are indeed completely lacking in Jordan. It can be said that Griffin + Embiid is the best insider combination in the league so far this season, regardless of the name.

There are a lot of good point guards, but in this era of declining centers, with Embiid who can compete for the No. 1 player in the future, it is acceptable to drop Paul. The shooting guard position is the next focus that West wants to adjust, and Fernandez is undoubtedly a good choice. Redick, Crawford, Rivers and even Tobys Harris, who just re-signed in the summer, were all seen as bargaining chips.

Against the Nets at home, West came to the scene and took turns to hug and greet a group of Nets players in preparation for the game.

Behind the Nets' two consecutive championships, in addition to Jiang Mingliang's general draft work, Stevens devised a strategy to win a thousand miles, West, who has undertaken a lot of repair work behind the two young people, is crucial. important. The importance of West can be seen from the fact that Jiang Mingliang's few rough trades took away the team's proud bench thickness last season. If he remains in the team, he will definitely not be able to change the team's injuries. disease, but the team's results last season may have been slightly better.

However, everyone has their own aspirations. West left the Nets and chose to join the Clippers, because Ballmer offered a salary of 13 million US dollars, and also had the idea of ​​​​playing with Jiang Mingliang. After all, such a powerful young man is rarely seen. In West's view, Jiang Mingliang may be more difficult than John Krause and Pat Riley.

After the warm-up, the players from both sides came out.

The Nets start with five players: Dinwiddie, Smith, Leonard, Dream Chaser Green, and Porzingis.

The Clippers start with five players: Dragic, Redick, Harris, Griffin, Embiid.

Although after Embiid played, the media's evaluation was higher than Porzingis, but on his strongest jump ball, Porzingis won without any accident, and the game officially started.

Dinwiddie held the ball and played a pick-and-roll with Porzingis. Embiid switched to Dinwiddie. He pulled the ball away and passed the ball to Porzingis in the middle. Porzingis did not stop when he received the ball. Facing Dragic and Griffin, who came over from the defense, he directly used his height advantage to make a mid-range shot and made a steady two-pointer.

Compared with last season, Porzingis focused on the shooting and face-frame offense on the offensive end, reducing the number of post-ups. This is not only to follow the trend of the alliance, but also to relieve his own pressure. The big center blindly gains weight, the consequences are the same as Yao Ming, and his career is shortened. And the current league, unless you have super low-level dominance, is not suitable.

Dragic has performed well since he came to the Clippers, and at the same time, the improvement of the team is obvious. Pass the ball to Embiid in the middle. Embiid plays Porzingis, attracting Green and then transferring the ball. In the hands of Griffin on the side, Griffin took the ball away with a fake action and took away the filling Leonard, broke into the basket, and scored a strong dunk.

Griffin was still chattering in front of the home fans, and the Nets had already launched the attack for the first time. Green's serve from the bottom line was sent directly to Smith near the center line. The latter quickly advanced to the front court. Under Redick's follow-up defense, the free throw line changed direction to the left, and the pass from behind gently pushed the ball back one step. Send, Dinwiddie followed up with an empty cut, took advantage of the three-step layup, got rid of Dragic by speed, and scored easily.

Every time you play a beautiful offense, you must pretend to be forced. Several players in the league who have this trait have the Nets players in their minds and must use them.

Griffin went to the right to ask for the ball with his back, and directly singled out Green, using his skillful dribbling and flexible turning to break through Green's defense, and attacked the opponent from the front, although he didn't. Scored the ball, but caused Green's foul.

Griffin made one of two free throws, Porzingis grabbed the rebound and launched a counterattack again. Leonard received the ball from the left and dribbled the ball to the middle. Smith faced Harris, who quickly returned to defense, in the middle of the road, his center of gravity was low, and he flexibly rushed past Harris, but was pulled by Harris from behind for a quick layup.

Smith had already taken off, but was forcibly pulled down by Harris. This kind of action is very dangerous in sports battles. Although Harris' follow-up protection actions are in place, Smith, who is not a good-natured person, is inevitably angry. Burned, and immediately walked towards Harris angrily after getting up. Fortunately, Leonard and Dinwiddie responded in time and pulled Smith away as soon as possible, without causing any trouble.

The referee also called Harris a flagrant foul after watching the video, and the Nets got two free throws.

Seizing the opportunity for two free throws, JR then grabbed a 3-pointer and helped the team take a 9:3 lead, forcing Rivers to call a timeout.

After returning from the suspension, the Clippers obviously began to press the rhythm of the game. Embiid received the ball from the left horn and singled Porzingis. Relying on strength, he pushed into the penalty area and made a layup, 4:9.

The Nets attacked, Leonard and Dream Chasing Green played a pick-and-roll, took the ball to the right and attracted Embiid to switch defenses and distribute the ball to the middle. Porzingis held the ball and pushed Harris to the basket, but he was blocked by Griffin after taking off. Harris got the basketball and passed it to Dragic, who wanted to push the fast break but was blocked. Widdy stopped in time for a foul.

In the positional battle, Dragic broke into the inside line with the help of a pick-and-roll, played a time difference, swayed at Dream Chaser Green, and scored an easy layup. The Slovenian offensive end is really good.

The previous game was suppressed by Brother Nongmei, and this game was beaten by Embiid and Dragic in a row. Porzingis' anger value was finally full, he faltered with the spherical frame, made a breakthrough in the middle, and his agility was obviously slightly better. He passed Embiid in one step, took three quick steps, and smashed the ball with one hand. Harris made up the defense to the basket, jumped a little slower and missed the cover, the two still had physical contact, and the referee called Harris a foul.

Extra penalty hit ~www.readwn.com~ The score came to 6:12.

The Nets had an outstanding opening performance, and several players felt good. The Clippers, on the other hand, didn't have an advantage in the opening game, and as Embiid's playing time limit forced Rivers to replace him, the situation began to develop in the Nets' favor.

At a critical moment, Crawford, the super sixth man of the Clippers, who used to face the Nets who usually did not perform well, stood up. First, he dribbled the ball out of the crotch to disrupt Smith's rhythm, and then took a step back and scored a three-pointer. Then he caught the ball in the fast break of the connecting section and hit 3+1. This is not over yet. At the end of the first quarter, Ke Lawford scored two more consecutive points and scored 11 points off the bench to help the team reduce the point difference to 1 point in an unfavorable situation.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the two sides were still in rotation. On the Nets side, Tyler Johnson, Carter, Pierce, Covington, and Nurkic’s lineup had mostly been able to suppress the opponent’s rotation players in previous games. But they met Crawford who was a little off today. Facing Carter's defense, Crawford hit a three-pointer when he came up, helping the team to overtake the score.

Pierce dribbled the ball over half court and tried to attack after failing to pass the ball to Covington. The latter missed an outside shot. Hawes grabbed the rebound and scored the ball in time. Rivers advanced to the frontcourt and then scored Crawford. Germany, the latter made a fake shot and made a real surprise, broke into the inside line, and scored 2+1.

In the next 5 minutes, Crawford's offense slammed into the Nets like a hurricane. In the first six minutes of the second quarter, neither Carter, Tyler Johnson, or even Leonard, who came on later, could not stop Crawford. Before his first missed shot, he hit 9 goals in a row. Scored 24 points, leading the Clippers to overtake the Nets by 17 points.

Even the NBC commentator was shouting, "Unbelievable!"
