Legend of Tomorrow
Chapter 998 [Crushed the fans and became a dark horse]
The Nets, the most promising Big Four in the Eastern Conference, shocked everyone in the preseason, with a record of 2 wins and 5 losses, including a five-game losing streak.
The regular season hasn't even started yet, and the Nets locker room is about to break into internal strife. The manager bears the greatest responsibility. He only recruits people based on their reputation and does not care whether they are compatible or not. Hidden risks inevitably arise.
Although it is only a preseason game, the Nets' five-game losing streak still attracted public attention. After all, the Nets have been criticized all summer. Kobe's declaration of 80 wins and 2 losses makes all Nets fans look forward to the early start of the new season and watch them crush everything. In the end, the Big Four just crushed the fans and slapped them in the face.
They showed a speechless chemistry in the preseason, without any tactics, and the players took turns playing singles.
Deron Williams and Dwight Howard did not cooperate. When David Lee was here last season, he could play pick-and-roll with Deron. He had a good shooting rate when catching the ball in the middle. Even if he did not have a direct shot, he could still face the frame or provide support. Pass the ball.
Howard likes to catch the ball in the low post and rush for offensive rebounds for secondary attacks. He rarely played pick-and-rolls when he was with the Magic. In addition to his lack of mid-to-long-range shooting ability, he also disdained pick-and-rolls.
Howard thinks this is where he is better than Stoudemire. He thinks he is tough and domineering. He admired O'Neal. Under the influence of Big Shark, he always said that he could solve the problem by standing in a good position and giving the ball over.
Howard is the boss in the Magic, and his teammates dare not disobey him. In addition, the Magic's configuration also prevents it from developing the habit of playing pick-and-rolls. Fans all know that the Magic's normal configuration is Howard plus four shooting turrets. Even Marion cuts and runs, so there is little need for cover.
If the center can't come out near the penalty area, Deron doesn't know what to do on the outside. The only tactic he is good at is the pick-and-roll, and he was trained by coach Sloan to be a pick-and-roll maniac. He can't find the rhythm of the game without the pick-and-roll.
The Nets' fourth position is Antoine Jamison and Reggie Evans, both of whom are not suitable for covering teammates and unable to block people. Jamison has range, his style is more like a small forward, and he has a pretty good evacuation effect. Evans is a well-known rough guy. On the offensive end, he can only pick up holes at the basket. He was so rough that he once tripped himself while dribbling.
Andre Blache, who is 211cm tall, can also play as a guest at the 4th position. His appearance with Howard is even worse. Because Blatche has slow lateral speed, poor pick-and-roll defense, and inaccurate mid-range shots after screening, he needs to cut inside. As soon as he cuts through the two teams' four inside players, he can defeat Mahjong in the penalty area.
The positions of the two swingman stars severely overlap.
Pierce's most famous skill is his post-up play.
Known as the Kaleidoscope; Kobe is most famous for his post-up singles, and is called looks like Jordan; coupled with the Spark Happy Beast who likes to play from behind, how can one ball satisfy three backs?
This is much more painful than when Guo Xu usually controls four balls until his back aches due to exhaustion.
Howard couldn't be happier. He felt that his teammates were all SBs and the coach was a big SB.
Why the hell am I shooting over 70% at the rim every season, and having a true shooting percentage over 60% for 5 consecutive seasons, so why should I pull out to make space for Blacksmith to attack?
Pierce is also depressed. Should he completely give up holding the ball and stand outside the three-point line as a fixed-point shooter?
Kobe was even more depressed. He couldn't help but give Deron a death glare in the preseason. Deron always hesitated to pass the ball after passing the half court, delaying the opportunity and preventing him from playing in isolation immediately.
As for Kobe playing without the ball and mainly catching and shooting three-pointers, let’s not say whether he would agree to it or not. Even the coach would not agree. His shooting percentage would definitely make his opponents laugh to death.
Deron had no choice, could he not hesitate? No one comes to play pick-and-roll with him, and all three of them want the ball.
He didn't know whether to pass the ball or challenge himself. He also didn't know which teammate to pass to. He didn't even know whether he should take out a knife and stab Kobe 11 times. If he didn't test it, how would he know who was tougher, Kobe or Pierce? Although Kobe has sharp eyes and powerful elbows, maybe Pierce is the real tough guy.
The Nets' bench also has problems. Only Jamison can score in isolation, but his efficiency is average, and everyone else is stuck.
Point guard Chris Duhon almost never breaks through. He is the kind of person that Kobe likes to pass the ball through the half court and wait for opportunities outside the three-point line. The two cannot play together, and Kobe will never be able to play as a substitute in his life.
Had Wade and Granger not been absent in the final game, the Nets would have been able to win. There was no strategy and no three-pointers from beginning to end.
The Nets are not even as good as the F4 Lakers in the 12-13 season in the parallel world. At least Artest can honestly stretch out and wait for catch-and-shoot shots. Nash and Steve Blake are both guards who can shoot three-pointers. Gasol is a star who can stretch out mid-range shots and support. , the Lakers are just slow in transitioning from offense to defense and have poor defense.
After the preseason, no one was bragging about the Nets anymore, and fans had an ominous premonition. Head coach Alvin Gentry had the strongest premonition and suspected he would be fired.
The Warriors became a dark horse. They achieved a record of 5 wins and 2 losses. Curry averaged 23 points and 6.5 assists in 33 minutes per game, shooting 47.6% from the field, 45.3% from three-point range, and 3.5 field goals per game. A three-pointer.
Lopez, who joined the Warriors, also performed very well, averaging 18.5 points and 6.3 rebounds in 30 minutes per game.
Luol Deng and Redick averaged 14 and 15 points per game, while Monroe also averaged 13.3 points and 9.4 rebounds per game.
Landry, Scola, Farmar, Deshawn Stevenson, Johan Petro, veteran Garcia, rookie Fournier and others all performed right on the court.
The two second-round picks Middleton and Draymond Green have little chance to perform. They can only be marginal players in the new season. It is unclear when they will be able to make a difference.
The Warriors easily completed their reconstruction after the trade, but it was Guo Xu who was discussed the most by online fans. His predictions were so accurate!
Guo Xu actually has a good mouth. He can immediately hit anyone he likes. Not only his teammates, he has also accurately predicted his opponents in the finals many times.
Is this the vision of a genius? He can see through the essence at a glance. He knows that Curry is a star if he has the ball.
I think Jason Guo is not only optimistic about Curry, but also because he knows Kobe so well. When he and Kobe were teammates, he only averaged 20 points and 6 assists per game. Once he left the Lakers, he was invincible.
Does anyone still say that the Warriors gave away Kobe to the Nets for nothing? They gave the Nets one of their best defensive players, who specializes in guarding their own people. The Lakers traded Kobe, and the losers immediately became All-Stars. Now it's the Warriors' turn.
After seeing these news, the atmosphere within the Nets has become worse. Their disunity is different from other teams. Usually the core of the competition is that the two stars divide into two factions, and the teammates take sides. Now the Nets have four stars, no one agrees with anyone, and it's hard for role players to take sides.
Kobe is the coolest one. He doesn't communicate much with the other three, but those three can still talk at least.
Pierce and Deron have been working together for a season. Happy Beast is a very eloquent person and hates the boring atmosphere. However, the person who took the most shots in the preseason was Kobe. He dared to take the next shot even if he couldn't make it.
Guo Xu was not surprised at all after reading the news. This is the situation where the core of stars is unclear. The Nets have nothing to fear. This group of people will break up in two years at most.
The core of the Suns has always been clear. No one has ever competed with Guo Xu for power, not when he first joined, and even less so now. As long as he's here, he's the boss.
On October 30, the Suns opened their home game against their old rivals, the Spurs...
