Losing a preseason game is nothing to the Nets. After all, the team is still in the run-in period, and the playing time of the main players is limited, and even George did not appear in the game. But then facing the 76ers and the Knicks, the Nets lost consecutive games and ushered in a three-game losing streak in the preseason, which gave fans an ominous premonition.

Don't underestimate the preseason. The beginning of the collapse of many dynasty teams is that the preseason did not play well. Especially when the Nets lineup has undergone a major change, this kind of problem is more likely to occur. Many netizens initially had the enthusiasm of "The Big Four overwhelm the whole league", but now it has faded away. At least you have to win one of the Big Four first. Ball, right?

However, Jiang Mingliang is not in a hurry when he sees the team's current predicament. He is very concerned about the game. The problems that the Nets showed in the game are not so much because of the incompatibility caused by personnel changes. After a great season of 74 wins and a dream dynasty with a 4-year triple crown, the players have changed from physical to physical. The mental slack may be more serious. It's not that the players don't work hard and don't want to fight for more honors. But it is inevitable that in some games that don't seem to be so important, the fighting spirit and desire to survive they show are really not that strong.

From this point of view, Jiang Mingliang's timely replacement of the team to a certain extent is the correct decision. After all, George and Joe Johnson have not yet won the championship. They have an expectation for the continued strength of the Nets. This expectation will keep them fighting more vigorously, which will influence their teammates.

In the fourth preseason game of the season, the Nets faced a challenge at home from the Milwaukee Bucks, who have the ability to challenge them in the playoffs. This offseason, the Bucks have improved their strength, not only on the second The addition of Jr Smith has added a flashpoint, and more importantly, continued to strengthen the originally weak bench lineup. French magician Boris Diaw, super shooter Kyle Korver, and All-Star McGee below the neck respectively. Join, the team's lineup is more balanced. The more obvious improvement is the muscles and coordination of the team's core Antetokounmpo. After the new star who just played last season was completely locked by Leonard in the playoffs, he has gained muscle in the past summer. The man is obviously stronger again. Judging from the past few preseason games, the speed of the straight-line explosive push and counterattack may have dropped slightly, but the destructive power in the interior seems to have been greatly improved. Their competitiveness this season should be no less than that of the Cavaliers.

In this game, George and Yi Jianlian, who had been out for a long time, entered the starting list of the game, replacing Royce O'Neal and Landry. It is not uncommon for George to enter the starting lineup, and Yi Jianlian’s adjustment to replace Landry was beyond many people’s expectations, because Landry’s performance in the past few games was not bad, and he was able to grasp the opportunities created by Curry and Leonard. , hit some shots, and Landry was also very active in the game, frequently doing pick-and-rolls for his teammates seems to have a good effect on the team.

However, in addition to the statistical performance, Landry still exposed a lot of problems. The first is the expected defensive end. Landry's state is that he can't stand up against taller and stronger players, and he can't defend well when he encounters a space-type inside line. He played hard, but the truth is, he was terrible on the defensive end. On the offensive end, in addition to a barely stable mid-range shot, Landry's ability to make a living on the inside has also declined significantly. Curry's strong containment force has helped him withdraw from the opponent's penalty area defense. In the three games, he scored two goals and grabbed an offensive rebound in the three-second zone.

The insider looks at the doorway, basically anyone can see that the power forward position will become the Achilles' heel of the Nets in the new season, and it depends on how much Yi Jianlian can fill. At least in the Olympic Games, there is still a little bit of expectation for him.

However, NBA and fiba are completely two competition systems. From the beginning of the game, Antetokounmpo showed his dominance over the Nets penalty area and forced Yi Jianlian to score a layup.

Although he couldn't hold back Antetokounmpo, Yi Jianlian's defensive position and habits are no problem. At least this time, in terms of defense, no points will be deducted.

The Big Four assembled, and the Nets were also quite abnormal in terms of attacking power. They returned to the No. 2 position. George backed up JR Smith and hit a jumper to equalize the score for the team. When returning to defense, George held up his No. 13 jersey with his thumb, and his expression was very arrogant.

George has always been a very polarized person. As a superstar, his strength does not need to be repeated, but his outside play has a hit rate that is higher than the league's average. At the same time, it is super godlike when it is accurate, but it is also scary when it occasionally appears ghostly. The defensive end is clean, and the character has a good relationship with most players, but he can make the designation of the Lakers as his next home, and other teams will not renew the contract. This offends most of the fans, and turned to the Nets. , directly calling the Nets "home" and offending the Lakers.

The Bucks attacked. Paul handed the ball to Middleton, the team's most reliable outside singles point, and then the team opened up the space to create a chance for Middleton to single against Leonard. Middleton scored twice. Going down, I couldn't find any space to shoot, so I had to give the ball to Antetokounmpo who came up to meet him.

Switching from the No. 2 position to playing the No. 3 position this season, Middleton's physical advantage has been weakened a lot, and his speed is not fast at the small forward position. If it is against other people, it is better. The flank combination of Leonard and George is really powerless.

To tell the truth, even James and Durant will have a headache in the face of the Nets' flanking combination.

Yi Jianlian protected the rebound, handed the ball to Curry at the first time, and then did not run forward immediately, but stayed near the center line to receive Curry's pass, easily cracking the Bucks' attack on Curry. Frontcourt attack, which is also something Landry has not been able to do before.

In the opening stage, although Yi Jianlian's performance was not excellent, he was still qualified overall. The defense is in place with a high rate, and the offense knows what to do. Coupled with the return of George, the Nets have a better offensive performance. The Nets gained an advantage in the opening game and entered the first official game at 19:14. pause.

After returning from the suspension, the Nets replaced the starting five as usual. VanVleet, Joe Johnson, Robertson, West, and Wood appeared. There were two veterans in the lineup, and the team's bench lineup performed well. A lot. Roberson, whose skills are all added to the defensive end, can be used as a functional player. It can also be considered to be able to play his own role. The inside line doesn't even suffer, and it's not bad to use, but how to play his role and weaken his incompetence on the offensive end is a headache for the coaching staff.

This is also the reason why Stevens chose to use Robertson with Joe Johnson in this game instead of Royce O'Neal, who is more adapted to the team. As far as the coach is concerned, preseason games should be used more for training. If it weren't for the respect of the fans on the scene and the protection of the team's commercial value, he even had plans to rotate Curry.

After the main lineup returned to the court in the second quarter, the Nets even directly used Robertson as the power forward to directly target Brother Antetokounmpo. The flexibility does not fall behind, and although the strength suffers, the overall defensive effect is not bad, which once suppressed the performance of Antetokounmpo on the offensive end.

However, on the defensive end, the work of Antetokounmpo, who is mainly responsible for marking Robertson's defense, is more abnormal. The Bucks faced the Nets' pick-and-roll and resolutely chose to chase the defender around the screen. All the loopholes were caused by the letter. Brother to fix it. And Antetokounmpo's replacement is really good. He can rely on his own coverage to improve the team's help defense rate.

If it is an ordinary opponent, it would be really uncomfortable to face a defensive system like the Bucks, but the Nets have Curry, the most space-utilizing player in the league, after all, there are two very strong singles. The All-Star flank, the Big Four lineup, even if the offensive end is not enough, has a great offensive threat, not to mention that Curry, George, and Leonard are all players without the ball ability. The Bucks Still a little unstoppable.

In front of the TV, Jiang Mingliang watched the performance of the Nets and could only say that he had mixed feelings. The Big Four appeared together, and the team's combat effectiveness was obviously stronger than that of the top team, the Bucks, which once again confirmed the Nets' unique strength in today's league. But just looking at the game, you can see that without Green, the team's offensive system has changed significantly. After this period of time, it has not been fully run in place. In many cases, the choice of attack is still very simple. Tired, and the effect is not necessarily good.

Of course, as far as the fans' reactions are concerned, compared to last season's lineup, they prefer the current Big Four team building model. New York is a place not only to watch wonderful games, but also to have wonderful gimmicks. Stimulating the sales of tickets is indeed a good effect. In particular, George has a very high popularity in East Rutherford. Many old fans who have been chasing the team since the "New Jersey Nets" have rekindled their pursuit of the Nets this season.

The dominance is not there, and the opponent is so good-looking without being moved at every turn in the scene? Well, after a perfect 74-8 season, it might be a little more emotional for fans to watch the more intense games to get the adrenaline pumping.
