Chapter 37 037 Losing streak (page 12)

(During this period, I am not in good health and my condition is very poor. The manuscript has been used up and I have not been able to update regularly and quantitatively. I solemnly apologize to everyone. I will try to recover as quickly as possible, update to return to normal, and update more.)

…………

Cassell's injury means the Nets are missing an important part of their starting lineup. The offensive and defensive organization immediately dropped to another level.

Coupled with continuous away games, the team was exhausted and its combat effectiveness dropped significantly.

ESPN published a commentary article, "It feels like the Nets are about to be kicked out of the playoff lineup. Their state is not optimistic, and near the end of the season, they encountered injuries, and the team seems to have withdrawn from the previous chemical reaction."

TNT remains relatively optimistic. They have a deeper understanding of Carter's strength. "The Nets can reach the playoffs by relying on Vince Carter alone, but they have to go further and even reach the second round of the playoffs." , it’s impossible to just rely on Carter. Others have to step up."

Except for Carter, the Nets' starting lineup is not bad, and they are all starting players above the league average.

Center Rasheed averaged 14.9 points per game, power forward Williams led the defense, averaging 10.8 rebounds per game, Kendall Gill averaged 16.1 points per game, and Cassel scored 14.7 points and 8 assists, which is quite eye-catching.

It is precisely because of this that the Nets will reach fifth place in the Eastern Conference and hope to maintain it. Of course, there is no one available on the bench. Robert Parker has no impact, lacks organization, and has a rough defense. He is also the biggest immediate strength on the bench.

As for the others, whether it is Daniels or Weitzel, let’s not mention them, they are old and useless.

TNT also analyzed the current situation of the Nets. After Rasheed joined, the team's record has not declined, but the running-in has not been smooth. "In addition to injury issues, Rasheed has also been receiving technical fouls recently. He was on the court. The Nets seem to have encountered a problem and are very manic, and the Nets will experience a more difficult journey."

It has reached the early stage of the regular season sprint, and the Nets seem to have entered a bottleneck period in terms of physical fitness and record, and various problems have begun to occur.

After losing to the Lakers, they returned home to face the Utah Jazz.

The Jazz are currently the team with the highest record in the Western Conference. They are powerful and have 47 wins and 15 losses. They went around the Eastern Conference a few days ago and won two out of three games. Now they are in the Eastern Conference and are preparing for another three games.

Neither the Pistons nor the Bullets were opponents of the Jazz before, only losing to the Atlanta Hawks in back-to-back games. When the game came to the home court of the Nets, Jazz Xuanming and Carter looked at Zhang Wuji and secretly said that it was very dangerous. Zhang Wuji had not fully mastered the Nine Yang Magic and could not beat the two brothers together.

"If the Nets were more mature, we would have to expend more energy." Jerry Sloan looked at the Nets' lineup and expressed calmly. Their goal was only the championship, and only the Bulls. "The Nets' lineup is not good now." Just stay organized and try your best to win this game.”

"Remember, at the end of the season, staying healthy is the most important thing. You need good results, good health, and you also need to accumulate strength to prepare for the playoffs."

The leaders’ ideas are very straightforward and they want everything. Don't think about difficulties, just make demands but don't solve problems.

The venue was packed with people, and it was still the Rutgers Athletic Center.

Toyota's sponsorship negotiations have reached an impasse, and no progress has been made recently. There is a high possibility that negotiations will be stopped, and the endorsement fee of US$20 million in 1 will be temporarily shelved.

The main reason is that Carter wants to sign with Toyota and does not want to tie his personal interests to the team. Toyota's brand image doesn't match him. If Toyota signed a center, post player or role player, it would look better.

Several personal sponsorships that Fagan and Mucci are negotiating for Carter have not yet been finalized. The two sides are still debating details, but have reached a consensus on the general direction.

It can bring in millions of sponsorship fees every year.

In today's game, the Nets ushered in a long-awaited home game, and the crowd was full.

Recently, the attendance rate of the Nets has soared to more than 95%. It is completely different from the scene at the beginning of the season. Almost every game is full of fans. If it were not for safety reasons, the seats cannot be filled. The team management even hopes to add some mobile seats. Chair, make more money.

"Ah... Carter, I love you!" The twin sisters appeared on the seats again, shouting for Carter.

The twin sisters came out to shout and shake the white rabbit, which has become a beautiful sight for the Nets. Many fans even bought a few girls to cheer for Carter together.

"This game is difficult, but I am willing to be with the team, with these few of them, come on, Nets."

"Our team is full of hope, and even if we lose to the team with the best record in the Western Conference, we have a bright future."

Fans know that the team has injured its main point guard and have no hope of winning this game, so they still go to the home court to support the team and Carter.

"Vince will contribute wonderful games, and that's enough. The team makes me satisfied."

"Carter's dunk was more exciting than the win."

During the game, Rasheed was quietly elbowed by Karl Malone at the beginning. He chose to spray it back with a big mouth, and then received a technical foul.

After being substituted, he was still cursing and dancing on the sidelines, "Ma Long only knows dirty tricks, bastard, I'm going to mess with him next time."

Rashid's bloody mouth made the children on the sidelines cry.

I didn't want to cry at first, but I couldn't hold it in anymore, "Oh...it's so scary..."

Rasheed shut up, he didn't want to do this either.

"Beep!" The referee suddenly followed to the sidelines and gave Rashid his first technical foul.

Two technical fouls and ejected.

Rashid looked confused, why did I get two technical fouls? I didn't provoke anyone, did I? The game is still in the first quarter, and it has just reached the second official timeout, and the winner has not been decided yet.

Carter had just scored inside when he saw Rasheed being ejected. He was stunned for a moment and immediately realized who made the foul and then walked to the tunnel and spat, "This idiot."

I still can’t control my emotions, and I’m still easily taken away.

Killing eight hundred enemies, self-defeating one thousand.

Byron Russell on the opposite side smiled and comforted Carter, "Vince, Rasheed is still very impulsive. The whole league knows about the postman's dirty tricks. Doesn't he know?"

Don't blame Malone, blame Rasheed himself. And Malone only gave him one technical foul, and Rashid committed suicide...

Carter rolled his eyes and said, "If you dare to do something dirty, I will make you suffer the consequences."

"Don't dare, you can score boldly. Our strategy is to restrict others." Byron Russell did not shy away from revealing his own tactics.

Jazz players have this kind of confidence. The Nets injured two of them. Even if Carter scored 100 points, he could not withstand the Jazz's bombing.

Calipari is helpless. The team no longer has its main point guard. If it loses its main center, there will be no need to play this game.

Throughout the game, Carter played extremely hard. It wasn't that he couldn't score, but that he couldn't win. One person couldn't defeat a team.

Carter scored 12 consecutive points in a single quarter, but his teammates were blocked and only scored 4 points in a single quarter. The scene was very ugly.

Fans always boasted that the previous games were intense. In fact, the offensive and defensive rhythm was not fast in the half, and zone defense was not allowed. Most of the time, players played alone, and the scene was very ugly. The skills and tactics are not as good as in the early years. The defensive intensity is high, but in fact the normal defense is not bad, but there are more rough fouls.
