NBA: Fusion of two talents to dominate the entire league

Carter was carried out of the court on a stretcher.

Looking at his depressed expression, his teammates felt very uncomfortable.

This line of work relies on youth and health, and youth only lasts for a few years.

If you want to achieve success, you only have a few years. Strength, luck, and a good team are all indispensable.

The game soon resumed with the referee's whistle.

Head coach Frank replaced Carter with Ronnie Buford.

Tonight he will face Finley and Josh Howard.

It is obvious that his ability on both offense and defense is not comparable to Carter's. He even dragged the team down at the beginning of the game.

After two consecutive open shots, the Mavericks even gave up defending him and turned to defend others.

His defense was even more messed up. He hadn't played for too long and was even a little flustered. After the third mistake,

Carter was off After the game, the Mavericks quickly found the weakness of Ronnie Buford and opened up the gap of the Nets.

The Mavericks simply replaced Dampier, with Nowitzki leading four small players.

No matter how they rotated, Ronnie Buford became a scoring machine.

Coach Frank decisively called a timeout, and the score became 48 to 53.

Frank looked at the bench.

Except for Kostic, the only one who could be used was McGinnis.

This season, McGinnis basically sat out the game except for a few limited garbage time. The bench has become the veritable water cooler guardian of the Nets.

Although this is the fate of most second-round players,

He thought he performed well in the training game, but Frank did not give him many opportunities.

This made him very frustrated recently. He was mostly absent-minded when driving Roy.

"Chuck, you replace Buford!"

McInnis swore that this was the most pleasant voice he had heard this week, sweeter than the new hot girl he met in New Jersey.

Kostic, who was next to McInnis, was disappointed.

Since Roy came, his playing time has dropped sharply, and even garbage time has become precious.

Just when the coach looked at him, he was as excited as he was now.

Coach Frank is also having a headache. The Nets' starting lineup is at the top level in this year's NBA.

But there is really no one available on the bench.

Now the team has only 7 real rotation players, and the rest of the people are basically useless. They are just to make up the number of the team's 15-man full roster.

Frank can only hope that the team can make a personnel trade in the middle of the season.

Otherwise, if the Nets want to go further in the playoffs by relying on these role players alone, these substitutes are far from enough.

The coach is like a chef hired by a restaurant. He will cook whatever ingredients the restaurant provides today.

The same goes for the players provided by the team. You should try your best to play the characteristics of all the players to achieve the desired effect. Even a good cook cannot cook without rice.

To be honest, he is not optimistic about McGinnis. He thought that the team just wanted to pick up the bargain when they bought the draft pick at a low price.

In the team competition, he did not see what McGinnis was good at, except for scoring and his good relationship with Roy.

McGinnis thought that scoring was his mission, but he did not know that the coach needed him to show a defensive attitude and active running.

Although Frank likes Roy very much, he can't be so irresponsible to love him and his family.

It's because Carter was too sudden today, and Buford was really useless, so he had no choice but to call McGinnis's name.

It's impossible to arrange Kostic, who is 2.13 meters tall, to defend Finley, who is 1.98 meters tall.

McGinnis stood up excitedly and took off his training clothes.

He walked over excitedly and high-fived Roy.

In fact, according to Roy's idea, McGinnis's personality is a bit jumpy and needs to be polished.

But he still has some talent, and he needs more playing time to train.

After the timeout, the Nets have the ball. Kidd dribbles the ball through half court with the help of Jefferson.

Mavericks head coach Don Nelson, nicknamed "Mad Scientist", changed the defensive strategy.

He asked the extremely fast Devin Harris to guard Kidd throughout the game, and delayed his dribbling time across half court.

Kidd passed the ball to Jefferson.

To be honest, Jefferson is not a good organizer. He is better at being an offensive finisher.

You can let him take the ball and attack the basket directly, but you should know that he averages 4 assists and 4 turnovers per game, with an assist-to-turnover ratio of 1 to 1.

This is a completely disastrous ball-holding organization.

Sure enough, after he broke through, he passed the ball, and the basketball flew directly over Kidd's head and out of the sideline.

Kidd had a bitter face. The burden on his shoulders had just been passed to Carter. He had just rested for a few days, and the ball was back.It returned to his hands again.

The Mavericks successfully got the ball, and after half court,

Terry and Nowitzki made two consecutive pick-and-rolls, and Nowitzki, who received the ball, made a jump shot against Chandler.

The score was further widened,

The Mavericks even began to use Harris and Josh Howard to double-team Jason Kidd,

Facing Jefferson who came to respond, Kidd hesitated for a moment, and still passed it to Roy,

He felt that Roy's organizational ability in the training game was not bad,

Jefferson, who was not far away, was confused:

No, brother, I have been with you for three years, he is the newcomer, am I the wife of the Cow?

The moment Roy received the ball, McGinnis seemed to come alive,

Came out from the baseline, and then suddenly ran back and cut straight to the basket,

The Mavericks expanded their defense to double-team Kidd, and there was no one under the basket at this time,

Roy easily hit the ground and passed the ball, and McGinnis, who was running, took the ball and dunked with one hand.

Frank was relieved a little. It turned out that what the management said about him and Roy working well together was true. It was obvious that the two had a tacit understanding.

At least in terms of running, McGinnis's off-ball skills were qualified.

The data showed that he was a swing player between the 2nd and 3rd positions, and could occasionally defend the 4th position.

Why not give him more time to try, especially when Roy was on the court. Coach Frank touched the few hairs on his head.

In the Mavericks coaching booth, old Nelson looked a little unhappy.

Thinking that without Carter as the secondary ball holder, the Nets would become a headless fly after Kidd was strangled.

Roy on the opposite side actually coordinated, which he did not expect.

After all, not every inside player is a player like Garnett and Webber.

Devin Harris served the ball from the baseline, Stackhouse dribbled across half court, and McGinnis started trash talking again on the court,

"Hey, I heard you came from North Carolina, and you're the No. 3 rookie. The last time I saw such a coincidence, I remember it was with Michael Dunk, right? How come you two don't look alike at all?"

McInnis's interference affected Stackhouse's emotions,

"Sorry, I remembered it wrong. Michael Dunk won't be kicked around by other teams."

In the end, Stackhouse's shot, with his chest heaving, also missed due to McGinnis' interference.

Seeing that the interference was successful, McGinnis quickly shut up. He still understood the principle that too much is as bad as too little. After all, people who have been beaten up will learn their lesson.

After entering the new century, the level of trash talk in the league plummeted.

Except for Payton and Garnett, there are very few.

Most of them are about to retire, such as Reggie Miller and Charles Oakley. These remnants of the old era are disappearing one after another in the league.

The appearance of the lively McGinnis made Finley on the opposite side laugh.

Anyway, he has a bad relationship with Stackhouse, so of course he has no concerns.

At the end of the third quarter, even if McGinnis performed well, the Mavericks still led the Nets by 9 points with strong firepower.

89 to 80

In the last quarter, after experiencing Jefferson's roller coaster-like shooting rate, Frank chose to trust Roy in the last quarter.

After the opening of the fourth quarter, Roy and Nowitzki started to attack each other.

The two of them fought back and forth, and neither could do anything to the other.

Finally, with 3 minutes left, Roy's ability was used to catch up to only 3 points.

Unfortunately, the two three-pointers from veteran Finley and Terry completely extinguished the Nets' counterattack hopes.

125 to 118,

The Nets, playing at home, After losing Carter, the team suffered the first defeat of the new season.

Although Roy contributed 34 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists,

Kidd's triple-double of 16 points, 11 rebounds and 14 assists could not prevent the team from losing the first game.

Nowitzki scored 36 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists and won the game.

The Mavericks had too many firepower points, and the Nets' substitutes could not make up for it.

Even though McGinnis's 12 points and 3 rebounds in this game were eye-catching, it was completely unable to fill a hole as big as Carter's.

In the locker room after the game, the team received worse news. Carter sprained his ankle and needed to rest for 4-6 weeks.

This means that there are more than a dozen games in the middle that can only rely on the current lineup.

The Nets are directly facing the embarrassing dilemma of no one on the bench.

"Roy played very well. As long as he stays healthy, I think the sky is his limit. You know, I was just a child at his age, and he was already playing in the NBA" - Nowitzki gave a very high evaluation in the post-match interview.

"I have never been optimistic about New Jersey because they only have 5 people playing and they will fall behind in the regular season!" - said Scott Pippen, a famous player and Chicago Bulls star.

"The Nets are in trouble.I don't think it will take too long. What they should do now is to believe in Roy. He has the ability to lead the team to victory!" - Barkley, a well-known Roy fan, expressed his opinion.

The entire Eastern Conference breathed a sigh of relief that night.
