Build a Dream Dynasty
Chapter 171: The sprint before the All-Star Game
After losing to the Pistons, the Nets' record came to 20 wins and 13 losses, just one game ahead of the Celtics, and the team already felt the great threat of the Celtics chasing behind them.
Under the tight schedule, the Celtics, whose lineup is dominated by veterans, are much more affected than the Nets, but even so, the record can still be stabilized. A large group of substitute players can play well enough in the team is also the key. Bass, Daniels, Pietrus, these once brilliant, but gradually quiet names have found themselves in the Celtics one by one, and rookie Bradley has suddenly emerged, even replacing Ray Allen's name. The main position is even more of a huge surprise.
This kind of life-and-death pursuit of the record is a kind of oppression for the young players of the Nets, and it is also a kind of mental exercise. To be blunt, first of all, you must experience the baptism of the regular season ranking chase before you are eligible to experience the postseason. A life-and-death decision at a critical moment in the game. Otherwise, you are not qualified!
In the home game against the Western underdog Suns, Roar Zun witnessed the team usher in a big victory at home. Facing the weak flank of the Suns, George continued his good performance with a career-high 37 points. After being named to the Eastern Conference All-Stars for the first time, George's performance became more and more stable. From 17.9 points to 19.1 points, continuing this trend, there may be a 20+. On the Suns side, players can only continue to bear the trough after the peak. The combined age of Nash, Richardson and Grant Hill is close to 110 years old. How to play against the energetic Nets?
The team did not improve for two consecutive seasons, and it also made the team's meritorious Nash disillusioned. He worked hard in the league for 16 years and won two MVPs. Nash is obvious to all to see the improvement of the team, but he has never touched it. The floor of the finals, in the future, if conditions permit, he hopes to bring some help to a strong team, help the team win the championship, and wear the championship ring himself. (21-13)
In the 5 games against the underdogs in the East and West, the Nets unfortunately only achieved a record of 3 wins and 2 losses, which is really lower than expected! The successive losses of West and Camby, two inside generals, cast a shadow over the last few games before the team's All-Star break.
On February 13, the Nets played away to the Orlando Magic.
On February 14, the Nets host the Sacramento Kings.
Next, the team embarked on a road trip to the West, including the most terrifying streak in Texas. On February 16, the team played against the San Antonio Spurs, on February 18, against the Dallas Bulls, and on February 19, against the Houston Rockets. On February 21, the team played its last opponent on the road, the New Orleans Hornets, and then, all-star weekend.
Times have changed, and the rumored top three in Texas are still the Spurs who still maintain their top combat effectiveness, but this does not mean that the Bulls and the Rockets are really weak. Even extremely hideous, since the new century, the only team that can sweep the top three in Texas this season is only the Celtics in the 0708 season. Neither the Pistons nor the Heat, which looked like they could dominate the East, failed to do so.
The advantage is that West can come back in the second or third game of the team's trip to Texas, and Camby can also play after the All-Star Game. For the Nets, you only need to get through these five games. Competition, hope is ahead.
This season's Magic can officially enter a special node. The strength has declined significantly, and the lineup has no potential. Howard keeps spreading the news that Xia and Deron Williams are going to the cattle, and the army is disillusioned. Considering that the contradiction between Howard and the team is irreconcilable, how to extract the last value from him and help the team rebuild has become the key.
Of course, in the weak East, owning Howard is equivalent to owning a playoff ticket, which is no problem. And compared to last season, the Magic has made an improvement this season by eliminating some talented players and reusing some less talented, but more attentive players, which also helped them stabilize the lower limit of their record.
Against the Nets who suffered a personnel crisis in the interior, the Magic made adjustments in the starting lineup and sent Glen Davis to match Howard's onslaught. Although the big baby is a pseudo-body who relies on mid-range shots, he is also fat. It's not white, but when he faced Anderson in the interior, he could still get back the feeling of dominating the interior in college. His excellent performance also relieved Howard's pressure on offense and gambling. World of Warcraft felt a long-lost relaxation, and he could use himself more. focus on the defensive end.
Compared with the offense, the Magic's defense requires Howard to fill the hole alone. Think about the backline formed by Nelson and Redick. Let's see if the Nets abandoned Simmons can be the starter for the Magic, emmmm! It's no wonder that Howard wants to run away. After two years, even if he is the general manager, he can find a better defensive wing than Simmons! Who can move with so many pits!
The Magic's hard-earned 7-point lead was gone within three minutes of Howard's exit. The Nets used both an active and passive lineup to overcome the Magic's somewhat bleak perimeter, and the Magic's bench inside Clark was offensive end. In fact, there are two brushes~www.readwn.com~ But the defensive end is really dominated by Jeremy Lin, Fernandez and the others strolled around the back garden, and the Chinese magician even completed the half-court alley-oop with the Spanish trapeze. The visiting team's bench is full of excitement!
In the past few years, the Celtics and James' teams (Cavaliers, Heat) have always been among the top teams in the East. The Bulls are a sudden rise, and the decline of the Magic is almost the same as the rise of the Nets. , Looking at it now, the Magic team is more or less difficult to return, and the Nets become James' strongest opponent in the next cycle, which may be an inevitable phenomenon!
In the second quarter of the game, the game returned to the previous situation of Howard's 1-on-5 situation. At the beginning, World of Warcraft was still able to top it, but when Stevens replaced Pavlovich to perform foul tactics, Stan Van Gundy was only in his heart. All that's left is to curse!
TMD's record this year is only sixth in the Eastern Conference, which is definitely related to Stevens' use of hacking shark tactics to kill Howard at the start of the game, causing other teammates to follow suit! Up, the Nets were actually quite gentle when they cut Howard, and the movements were very standardized. It was nothing more than a hug and a touch. It would not cause any damage to Howard, but those teams that deliberately imitated did not say that. Makes sense.
The Magic's offense was constrained by Howard's free throw rate plummeting, and the Nets were quiet on the offensive end to take advantage of the outside advantage to take the lead, and maintained the advantage until the end of the game.
106:97, the advantage of 9 points is not an exaggeration, but the main players did not appear in the fourth quarter, which can be regarded as a very economical victory. (22-13)
