Legend of Tomorrow

The Lakers VS Nets game is broadcast live across the United States. It is a highlight of the regular season and is heavily promoted four days in advance.

The Nets got off to a very strong start, winning six games in a row.

The team's offense and defense are balanced, and LeBron James and Dwyane Wade's offense with the ball is not something that ordinary teams can withstand.

James is the most stable star in the league. No matter who he cooperates with, he plays the same way and gets a near triple-double. He currently averages 35.4 minutes per game, 25.5 points, 7.4 rebounds and 7 assists, shooting 54.8% from the field and 36.3% from three-point range.

Wade is not a vegetarian. He averaged 31 minutes per game, scored 19 points, 4 rebounds and 4.2 assists, and shot 49.1% from the field.

As long as there are teammates who can shoot three-pointers around them, when they join forces, they can create singles opportunities for each other and improve scoring efficiency. The way they work together has been perfected when they played for the national team several times.

Other Nets players are responsible for covering, catching and shooting, and do not hold the ball to attack, and their scoring efficiency is not low. With Mike Brown as coach, the team's offensive rhythm is not fast. It mainly uses positional warfare to wear out its opponents with higher scoring efficiency, and occasionally engages in counterattacks.

Since becoming a partner with James, Warcraft Howard has reduced the number of shots he takes, switching to focusing on air-cutting attacks after screening, and giving up on post-up attacks. With stars around him to share the pressure, he has remained healthy. His back injury has not occurred for a long time, and he focuses more on the defensive end.

Howard averaged a double-double of 13.5 points and 11 rebounds per game, which is still better than the average center.

Even the least famous Beverley has performed well. He is very suitable for the Nets' system. He is responsible for defense and catching and shooting. He does not need to hold the ball to attack or organize.

He averaged 30.9 minutes per game, scored 10.2 points, 4 rebounds and 2.6 assists, shot 40% from three-point range, and averaged 1.8 shots per game. He is an important three-point shooting point for the Nets.

West did not score in double figures, averaging 27 minutes per game, 9.2 points, 5.6 rebounds, 2.5 assists, 0.7 steals, and 0.7 blocks, and his shooting percentage was as high as 53.5%. His tactical role is very crucial. His scoring is mainly based on shooting, and his mid-range shooting is very accurate.

On the defensive end, except for West, four players including Patrick Beverley have been selected to the All-Defensive Team.

This is the scariest thing about the Nets. It is difficult for opponents to break into the penalty area and score easily. After missing shots, the players also do a very good job of protecting backcourt rebounds.

No matter how terrifying the Nets' lineup is, more people support the Lakers' victory in this game.

Fans almost all hope that the Lakers will defeat the Nets. Because the Lakers only have one big-name star, Guo Xu, and the Nets are a team.

Many people are dissatisfied with the choice of Wade and David West to take a salary cut to join the Nets. They believe that other teams in the Eastern Conference are simply unable to compete with the Nets. They are simply taking the path of spending money to buy a championship, which is outrageous.

Wade could go to a weak team and get a high salary, but now he is teaming up with the top three players in the league to chase the championship. In fact, he can definitely hold on for a few more years and then cut his salary to compete for the championship when he is older. There is no reason why he should get less money than Nowitzki and Gasol at his age.

James has also begun to be scorned by many fans. He has been a favorite of heaven since he entered the league. The league has placed too many hopes on it, and the fans have also placed infinite beautiful thoughts on him.

James did very well, leading the team to the finals at such a young age. Although he failed to win the championship, the fans understand that after all, he is young and must pay his tuition. If he slowly accumulates experience, he will definitely achieve good results! As a result, James was swept in the playoffs time and time again, and in the end he lost the energy to lead the Cavaliers to the championship. People began to think that there was something wrong with his mentality.

In the past, the media, fans, and even James himself were saying: James is chasing Jason. Now it seems that he is not qualified to compare with Guo Xu at all, so why should he be labeled as a chaser?

After the Nets trained on the morning of the 8th, James and Wade went to have lunch together.

The two have a particularly good relationship. They are stars who entered the NBA in the same draft. They had similar playing styles and similar experiences in the early stages of their careers. James's advantage is that he has entered many finals.

The Four Heroes of the national team were miserable at that time. The two began to join forces. Paul was abused by Guo Xu in the opening game. Carmelo Anthony signed a big contract and went to play in New York. This season he basically played again. Not making the playoffs.

During normal meals, the two of them always have endless things to talk about, such as film and television, music, fashion, basketball and so on.

Today they were very silent. After ordering and waiting for a while, they all felt that the atmosphere was too deserted before they started chatting. After a while, the topic turned to basketball.

Honestly... do you think we can win tonight? Wade's tone was a bit weak, because he could no longer afford to lose.

He was invited to the Nets by James, and he sacrificed too much for the championship. In the summer, he felt that the team could compete with the Warriors and he was in a good mood. However, now the main competitor has changed teams.

Wade and Guo Xu have never competed in the playoffs. When they met in the regular season, the game was basically one-sided. He came to hug James' thigh. Almost everyone said that Guo Xu was James' nemesis. Can he not panic?

One wrong move, and the rhythm of Wade's entire career is off. In a parallel world, his situation is much better, mainly because of the 2006 championship. As the core leader of the team, Wade won the championship and FMVP, and he was more confident. Later, he and James teamed up to win two more championships, which made this life worthwhile.

In this world, no team was willing to give Wade a maximum salary in 2010. Managers thought he was inefficient and old, and he himself had lost confidence.

James swallowed, not daring to speak out loud. I don't know, this guy is like using a modifier to play the game. I don't think the Warriors dare to say that they can definitely beat the Lakers in the playoffs. Fortunately, he is the only star in the Lakers, and we will fight with him tonight.

Wade nodded: I hope Patrick (Beverley) can defend better. He is too fast to help defend and double-team all the time. He can only defend as a defender. I really doubt that he has taken doping, 34 How could he age so quickly? When Iverson was 34 years old, he almost had no ball to play with.

James shook his head and said with a wry smile: Hey, they have nothing to compare with.

Players with inaccurate shots are easier to target. They were also in this category back then and had difficulty breaking double teams. Guo Xu is more comprehensive and has no shortcomings except his short stature. Guo Xu's height still has an advantage on the offensive end. When he lowers his center of gravity and dribbles the ball, few people can successfully steal the ball.

The two brothers were silent again as they ate, thinking about their futures.

They had all called their friend Bosh who was recuperating at home and got a clear message. Bosh would probably retire after this season. In this case, the player's salary would not be counted in the salary cap.

The Lakers will have salary space for a star next summer. Even if they renew Al Horford, they can bring in another star. If Horford does not re-sign with the Lakers, then they will have room to bring in two stars.

James and Wade are both in contract years. If the Nets fail to win the championship this season, they both have the idea of ​​​​leaving. Only if they win the championship will they be willing to stay and fight to defend the title.

It would be easier for Wade to leave. He only has a basic salary contract, and it would be a huge loss to renew the basic salary with the Nets. If the Lakers win the championship, he has decided to go to the Lakers as his next stop, and he is willing to be a substitute.

James is also optimistic about the Lakers. When he is 32 years old, he will still be in good shape for a few years. If he goes to the Lakers to be the second boss, maybe he can win a few more championship rings.

But it's not easy for James to leave. Leaving the Nets would be such a loss of character...
