Build a Dream Dynasty

At the moment of stepping into the player tunnel, Paul George clearly felt that the Leonard before his death suddenly became short of breath and looked disorganized. Rookie season, career debut, starter, this is often not a 15th pick. treatment.

Gently patted Leonard on the shoulder, and said, "Kawaii, your situation this year is much better than mine last year. Don't think too much!"

Paul George's career debut was to challenge Rudy Gay, the league's top scorer, as an underappreciated side, and the strength of the entire team was regarded as inferior to the Grizzlies. In that game, George performed well, While limiting Gay's score, it also cut off the cooperation between Gay and Randolph, and made great contributions to the team's victory over the Grizzlies. And today's Leonard, at least as an advantage, is facing the Cleveland Cavaliers who have nothing but Irving.

This sentence is not a joke, look at the starting lineup of the Cavaliers, Irving, Gibson, Anthony Parker, Jamison, Varejao. In addition to the point guard position, the expected Kyrie Irving may be stronger than Bledsoe. Players from other positions in the Cavaliers can only serve as a backup when they come to the Nets.

However, even so, in the pre-match preparation meeting, Stevens made repeated orders and was not allowed to despise his opponent.

"At the beginning of last season, others saw us this way, but in the end we entered the playoffs with sixth place in the Eastern Conference, and many of the teams that laughed at us were not as good as us!" Stevens stimulated the group with his own experience. Players, competitive sports, anything is possible!

As in training, the Nets' starting five tigers are: center Lopez, power forward West, small forward Leon, shooting guard George, point guard Bledsoe, direct Leonor. De pushed the starter, which also surprised many people.

This may be the youngest starting lineup in the league. When deciding on this starting lineup, Stevens was under a lot of pressure. Even in the coaching staff, there were different opinions. However, Korver’s struggle in the entire series of the playoffs last year made Stevens hit hard. The goals that could be made in the regular season were repeatedly hit in the playoffs, making Stevens, who was the ultimate in tactical arrangements, hit hard. Vince is also very helpless, so, in the case of room for error tolerance, Stevens decided to polish Leonard with all his heart.

The game started on time, and as the referee's whistle sounded, the basketball was thrown quickly.

The Cavaliers are in charge of the jump ball by the actor Varejao. This is one of the few jump ball opponents that Lopez, who is not good at jumping, can "bully". He also successfully dialed the ball into the hands of George in the back. After slapping the ball, there was a sense of ceremony, and then the ball was passed to the team's point guard Bledsoe, and the Nets started their first offense.

George received the ball in the frontcourt, David West mentioned a 45-degree pick-and-roll, and the moment he blocked Anthony Parker, the speed of the ball in George's hand suddenly increased, and at the moment of changing speed, he smoothly passed between the opposing two defenders. Through the past, although the skills are not very skilled, but George's explosive power and the overly casual defensive attitude of the two Cavaliers Parker and Jamison, the visual effect is full.

Varejao stepped out of the penalty area to make up defense without hesitation. Last season, George's mid-range shooting rate outside the three-second zone was as high as 43%. As the team's number one offensive point, this hit rate is quite impressive. More importantly, it is guaranteed At the same time of quality, George averaged 7.4 long-range mid-range shots per game, and the quantity can also reflect his style of play and ability.

In front of Varejao's defense, George leaned down and leaned on Jamison, who was defending from behind, and jumped up to score the ball horizontally. After receiving the ball, West directly pushed Parker's defense and scored the ball.

Compared to last season Anderson could only stand on the perimeter as a battery after finishing the pick-and-roll, West's attacking range is reduced, but he can provide more help. One step inside the three-point line is already his shooting range. Against the inside of the meat shield, he can use his footsteps and skills to play singles. Against small guards, he can also rely on his body to sit in and eat alone.

Irving took the ball over half court and quickly handed the ball to Jamison, who was pulled to the outside. Although he was the No. 1 pick and the hope of the whole team, it was better than James who had to give Ricky Day the opportunity to perform in his rookie period. Weiss, Irving can't be the boss of the world as soon as he comes up!

Fortunately, after all, Jamison is not Ricky Davis's character for rookie Mawei. After a few attempts to attack and failed, he returned the ball to Irving. At the same time, he pulled the ball to the outside to create space for Irving's singles. .

As early as after the draft lottery ceremony, Irving basically understood that his first team in the NBA would be the Cavaliers. Of course, he accepted this. After all, the Cavaliers who are waiting for nothing will pin their hopes on himself, but , Jerry West's attention three times and four times still makes Irving look forward to joining the Nets, who seem to be more reliable. He has also fantasized about replacing Brad, who is physically strong and weak in defense and attack. So what would be the result of cooperating with this lineup, but unfortunately, it backfired.

Owen suddenly changed direction and broke through Bledsoe. Then, I saw him make a straight drive and quickly rushed to the free throw line! At this time, Leonard came over and saw Irving holding the ball in his right hand and stacking to the right, just when most people thought that the ball would be passed to Parker who had just pulled out of the net. Owen's right hand suddenly pressed. A strike happened to pass over the left of Lopez, who was leaning to the right. Varejao, who got some space out of the way, received the ball and scored easily at the basket~www.readwn.com~ Beautiful, the number one pick, Owen's attack this time was very good. The frontal breakthrough of the Nets' defense, and the superb assists sent also made it easy for teammates to score. "

Although after entering the NBA, Irving's development trajectory was completely a scoring point guard, but the NBA's template in the draft is Chris Paul, who has done the best combination of scoring and assists, at Duke University. , Under the guidance of the old coach K, Owen's passing awareness and skills are still good.

On the offensive end, Irving can indeed make a good contribution, but back on the defensive end, Irving's preoccupied defense encounters the Cavaliers' unstructured lineup, which is more tragic. It is said that the improvement of the Nets last season was unexpected, and the most overlooked thing is that Stevens attaches great importance to defense, while the defense of the Cavaliers is completely untargeted. The Nets rely most on the pick-and-roll on the offensive end, and the Cavaliers, including Irving and Gibson, are basically a pick-and-roll and can't find the south, west, north and west.

Three and a half minutes into the game, Gibson hit a three-pointer after receiving Irving's ball, and the Cavaliers scored the second goal of the game. At this time, the score between the two sides was already 11:5.

However, before the Cavaliers could be complacent, the Nets once again exposed the Cavaliers' defense problems in the next attack. Bledsoe's strong driving layup was inaccurate under the interference of Varejao, but West Taking advantage of the position where Lopez helped get stuck, he grabbed the offensive rebound. After landing, he did not choose to pass the ball, but came directly to a beautiful half hook! Basketball hits accurately.

After scoring this goal, Stevens on the sidelines also waved excitedly to celebrate. Grab the offensive rebound, stare at the defense and score the ball, such a scene was really hard to see on the Nets last season.
