Build a Dream Dynasty

In the second quarter of the game, it seemed that Bledsoe had a certain restrictive effect on Paul, but it was also due to the decline in Paul's personal offensive willingness. Wei is Paul's favorite type to meet. Think about how many times Westbrook has deflated on Paul. It is good to be defensive and motivated, but the gap in strength cannot be solved by being proactive.

Rediscovering the offensive desire of the first quarter, the Clippers' offense began to revolve around Paul. As the league's first point guard, Paul's killer was to use the pick-and-roll position to shoot and pass from 9 to 12 yards. The threat is huge, and Paul also educated Bledsoe well, causing Bledsoe to suffer from frequent deflation.

The score that had been equalized was re-opened to more than 10 points in a blink of an eye.

It's not surprising that Bledsoe can't guard Paul. In addition to Deron, how many point guards in the league can play against Paul without losing money? But it wasn't him that disappointed Stevens, it was George.

The lack of ball-handling ability has become a dead end for George's offensive end. After all, mid- and long-distance shooting still relies on touch. And George's ability in this regard is not at the level of Nowitzki and Durant. In addition, Leonard also lacks the absolute ability to hold the ball and break through. The two wings of the Nets are in good physical condition, have sufficient potential, and have outstanding defensive ability, but they are really not complementary, especially on the offensive end. , Leonard is almost a fully weakened version of George.

Seeing that the game entered the rhythm of the Clippers, Stevens was forced to play a small lineup as a last resort, disrupting the rhythm of the Clippers by accelerating the offensive rhythm and improving the offensive environment, optimizing George. However, things have developed towards a situation that he has always avoided in this game. Leonard, who has returned to the No. 4 position, is indeed fighting against Griffin. Paul is taking the opportunity to fight this, and the Nets have become more difficult to resist. Fortunately, Griffin's free throw percentage is not high, and his 3-of-5 free throw rate left the Nets half a breath, but only half a breath.

At the end of the third quarter, the Nets trailed the Clippers by 14 points, digging a big hole for the fourth quarter.

Considering that the team was about to have back-to-back games in early February, Stevens kept George at the beginning of the fourth quarter, and West's three main players were supplemented by Jeremy Lin, Fernandez, and Anderson's lineup to make a last-ditch effort. If you can successfully narrow the point difference, you will continue to fight, and if you fail to narrow the point difference, you will give up the game in advance.

Lopez's injury has taught Stevens a profound lesson. In this shortened season, it is very important to understand the trade-offs!

However, the effect of this lineup was not as good as imagined. Griffin and Billups helped the Clippers withstood the impact of the Nets, and they invested in answerballs one after another, making the Nets finally rise. The morale went out again and again. Finally, with 6 minutes left in the game, the Nets, who were 16 points behind, withdrew their main force, which was regarded as Ming Jin's withdrawal.

After a round, the Clippers also removed Paul, Griffin and other main players, and the two sides entered training time.

At 115:104, Jeremy Lin scored five consecutive points at the last moment, increasing his score to 11 points in this game, but it was difficult to change the final result of the game. Camby's Nets debut ended in a loss, and he himself played 21 points. In minutes, the data of 4 points and 5 rebounds is not worthy of the 10.5 million salary that the Nets gave him!

After Lopez was injured, the Nets scored 2 wins and 2 losses, and these two losses were thanks to the Clippers, and they can only sigh that the Clippers caught up with the good times and seized the opportunity to give the Nets a chance. Beaten up!

The Nets fans in the forum were disappointed and also expressed their understanding to the team. To be honest, no matter how Camby’s performance was or how low the price/performance ratio was, he at least allowed the Nets to have someone in the penalty area. The team lost a main center, and at this moment, I am afraid that they will be eagerly waiting for it to rot.

Jiang Mingliang at least made remedial measures, didn't he?

Some fans will also miss Whiteside, who played a double-double in Houston this season. This second-round pick last season averaged 13 points and 10 rebounds per game with the Rockets this season. Yao Ming retired. After that, inherited the glorious tradition of the Rockets' center position. For the Nets who are a little weak in the interior at the moment, lose him. . . . . . . Not a pity at all!

The team used him as the main bargaining chip in exchange for Leonard!

One day after losing the game against the Clippers, Stevens consciously reduced the confrontation and intensity in training, and let the players focus on recovery, because the devil's back to back is coming, which will also be this season. The only time for three games in three days!

On February 2, the Nets played against the Milwaukee Bucks at home, on February 3, the Nets played away to the New York Knicks, and on February 4, the Nets played against the Utah Jazz. The advantage is that in the three games, the opponents are not particularly strong, and the two host and one guest games are all in New York. The Knicks are strong on paper, but weak in practice, and Stoudemire is still out due to injury, which is equal to Lopez's absence. The Jazz's lineup does not seem to have a superstar, but its actual combat ability is good. It is unexpected to be ranked in the top six in the Western Conference. Besides the Clippers, they are also the team that can pick up the Nets the most this season. The second time against the Nets was the time when the Nets were exhausted. If the Clippers were more or less lucky to catch up with Lopez's injury, then the Jazz were completely the cauldron of the schedule.

However, in the small meeting after the training, Stevens expressed to Jiang Mingliang the idea of ​​rotating the main players in the New York Derby.

"We need to consider the health of the players." Stevens said, for fear that Jiang Mingliang would care too much about his grievances with the Knicks and ignore the team's current situation.

"Calm, calm." Jiang Mingliang stretched out his hand to greet Stevens, "Brad, I'll give you the team completely. If you think you need to make a rotation, I fully agree and won't stop it. It's just, I think our players' playing time is well controlled, and you don't want to mess with Brook's injury."

No doubt about employing people, no doubting about people, Jiang Mingliang really trusts Stevens!

"issac, we all have to realize that Brook's absence has more impact than we expected. David West suffered a serious injury last April, and we made an agreement before the season that we wouldn't play him back-to-back. If there was any problem with him, Our inside line completely collapsed. In the end, we played against the Jazz, and they were back-to-back, and there was a game against the Bulls before. Rationally, I think we fight them more than the Knicks. Stevens said.

As a coach, the perspective of looking at problems is still somewhat different from Jiang Mingliang as a management team.

"OK, the decision is yours."
