Build a Dream Dynasty - Chapter 924

The Nets built an 8-point advantage in the first half, but the Nuggets had their backs.

Highland home! That’s the Nuggets’ biggest advantage. Some professionals have made professional statistics and analysis on the home field advantage owned by each team in the major leagues in North America. Among them, the league with the largest home field advantage is the NBA, with an average home field advantage of 62%. In the NBA, it has the largest home field advantage. The dominant team, the Denver Nuggets, has a home-court advantage of 66.1 percent. In other words, at Pepsi Center, the Nuggets have a nearly 23 chance of taking out a close opponent.

High altitude, low air pressure, and thin air. Playing in such an environment, players will definitely be more tiring than usual, especially after traveling and driving. In fact, the regular season is slightly better. In the playoffs, the Nuggets The home field advantage will be further magnified.

In the third quarter, the players of the Nets began to be gradually affected by the decline in physical strength, and their performance declined. At this stage, it was when the Nuggets began to exert their strength to reverse the game. On the offensive end, the Nets also He can rely on the personal abilities of Leonard and George to nail the score at the free throw line. However, on the defensive end, in the face of the Nuggets’ round after round of shocks, the defensive placement rate has declined somewhat.

The appearance is 3D, but it is actually a running back McDermott, the all-around small forward Wilson Chandler and the Italian gun Gallinari have both shooting and breakthrough abilities. Jokic pulled Porzingis to the outside, the Nets Some could not resist the impact of the Nuggets, and the point difference was quickly smoothed out.

The Nuggets head coach Zhuge Malone deserves to be the head coach who was able to keep Cousins ​​clean up during his tenure in the Kings. In addition to pouring chicken soup, he also has a certain tactical pertinence. More importantly, this arrangement is obvious. Amplifying the team’s home field advantage is to use the highest intensity confrontation to cause trouble for the Nets.

As early as the 1213 season before the Nets lineup was completed, the game against the Nuggets was known as the “New Jersey Shooting Team” VS “Denver Track and Field Team”. Both teams are outliers in the league. The Nets are led by Curry. One of the snipers cast a pleasing basketball. At that time, the two teams fought against each other, adhering to the principle of “who defends the grandson”, and contributed to a wonderful duel. In the end, due to the “three points to two points” The timeless principle of “one more point” finally allowed the Nets to successfully win.

In the next few years, the departure of Ujiri and Karl made the Nuggets begin to go downhill, while the Nets soared under the leadership of Curry, completing a small dynasty that won the 4-year Triple Crown. The battle between them gradually turned into a one-sided situation. Over the past few years, the Nuggets have only won once in the 1415 season against the Nets without Leonard, and lost all other times.

Under the predicament, Stevens made personnel adjustments, replacing Leonard, Yi Jianlian and VanVleet with Joe Johnson, Royce O’Neal and Roberson, and veteran Joe Johnson as the point guard. Make sure the Nets have two singles strong points on the court. Roberson, who is a full-time defender, came on stage to entangle Gallinari, the most offensive threat, to save George as much energy as possible. Royce O’Neal’s confrontation was a little bit worse, but his footwork was still flexible, and it was not a big problem for the defense to take care of Nelson. Leonard’s rest is to save his physical strength and prepare his physical reserves for the next fight.

The thickness of the team’s lineup is not as good as before, which requires Stevens to be more flexible and considerate in personnel deployment.

Robertson, a player, is an anomaly in the Nets team, which pays great attention to offensive space and shooting ability. He has almost no shooting ability. His career three-point shooting rate is less than 20%, and his average points per game have not exceeded 5. In his three-year career, he has never scored in double figures in a game. Such a player is not the Nets’ food, but sometimes, when he is used in the right place, he can make himself for the team. contribution. The core of this wave of adjustments by Stevens lies in Roberson. How good was his defense after he came on? McDermott used a pick-and-roll to get rid of George’s defense, and when he saw Roberson, the expression on his face was very helpless. This is the embodiment of a very good defensive deterrent.

If this player was placed in the NBA fifteen years ago or even ten years ago, it would not be a big problem to get into a middle class, at least it is more useful than players like Hassel and Ryan Bowen, but in the current league , can only be used by this kind of strange soldier, and play its own role in occasionally containing the opponent’s attack.

However, during the period of his debut, Robertson’s performance was really good. Whether it was strangling Gallinari or helping defend other players, the work was done well, and it produced unexpected results for Stevens.

“Perhaps it would be a good choice to have Roberson come as a power forward.” Stevens planned in his mind. Right now, in his concept, the weakness of the power forward position is really a problem.

Zhuge Malone would never have imagined that the humble Roberson of the Nets turned the tide of the game again in the game and helped the team re-establish its lead. Attacks from the team’s flanks were quickly blocked. Looking back, turning around, Joe Johnson used a steady attack on the offensive end to harvest the remaining blood of the Nuggets, and the balance of victory began to rapidly fall to the Nets.

Malone made timely adjustments and replaced McDermott with Faried. He tried to overwhelm the Nets with a more powerful inside attack, but he was still powerless. Faried is not a very smart insider. According to him, he is more suitable for hitting the basket after finishing the pick-and-roll with the perimeter, or using his running and jumping ability to hit the opponent in the fast break. Playing this kind of cooperation with Jokic is not his strength, which is why the Nuggets intend to trade him. .

If the Nets are willing to play Royce O’Neal, they can add Faried to complement the team’s weak power forward position, but Jiang Mingliang has no intention of making this trade. Even if Curry is lost, the team’s problems are magnified to a certain extent, and they are still in no hurry to make such a deal that demolishes the east wall to make up the west wall.

Of course, judging from the current situation of the Nets, Royce O’Neal is no longer a player the team is unwilling to trade. He has a great effect on the team, but the problem is that George and Leonard occupy the More playing time on the wings, plus Joe Johnson, can leave him with less playing time. Curry’s injury has certainly given his teammates more opportunities to perform, but Royce O’Neal does not have the ability to swing to the No. 1 position. At the same time, due to the decline of the team’s strength, the frequency of clocking in three quarters has been greatly reduced, and the performance of substitute players has also been reduced. The team will not easily rotate George and Leonard. From this perspective, O’Neal will get fewer opportunities.

With the right opportunity, there may be a deal, but only if there is “the right opportunity.”

In the fourth quarter, Leonard led the team to endure the Nuggets’ counterattack for a period of time. As the Nuggets players became more and more impatient, more and more problems were exposed, and the score gap widened. , In the end, the Nuggets lost to the Nets 113:127 at home, and the home court fell.

The Nets won, and Roberson contributed a lot, but he had nothing to do with him in the press conference after the game. This is the sadness of the character. The attention of the media must be on the stars and the head coach. Steven, who has completed the four-year triple crown dominance In the eyes of the media and fans, he is already the next Auerbach, who can build a team and compete for the championship!

Make good use of role players, and use Roberson, who can’t attack at all and can only be used as defense, to contain the Nuggets’ offense. This trick really affected the game. In the interview, Stevens also praised Roberson, incidentally. He touted Jiang Mingliang.

“It’s very comfortable to work with Issac, he always finds someone I want. A lot of people are saying that our bench is getting weaker, but in my opinion, we’re just younger and prone to mistakes at times. , we have a lot of strength to tap on the bench. I believe we can get through these two tough months, and when Stephen comes back, we will see that everything is getting better.”

After winning two games in a row, the doubts surrounding the Nets have been reduced a lot~www.mtlnovel.com~ Or the two previous defeats have made many rational fans aware of the Nets’ problems, and the ball The team started a new run-in without Curry, got back on the right path, and even defeated an opponent like the Nuggets, which is very valuable.

Back in New York, the Nets players got a two-day break, and Curry, who had completed surgery, also came to the practice hall to encourage the morale of his teammates, especially VanVleet, who has always been controversial.

Few superstars have the affinity of Curry, and Jordan, O’Neal, Kobe, James, and even Durant don’t have such equanimity and emotion with an obscure role player. That’s why many fans love Curry so much. Compared with other superstars, you can find a lot of black material and black pictures when you just flip it through Se shook his head.

The Nets practice field is divided into two courts, four halves, usually one for Curry, one for George, one for Leonard, one for the other role players, and sometimes for George. Will choose to share with Curry or with Leonard, and other players share the same court. Today, Curry returned to the training hall, and other players consciously vacated the court and handed it over to Curry as a personal trainer for VanVleet.

It’s not so much a personal training, it’s better to be a sparring coach. Curry’s skills are not easy to teach others by words and deeds. And there are very few people who can improve their shooting ability during the season. What Curry can help is to optimize VanVleet’s rational choice for breaking OR passing in the game, including guiding some running things. ,

These can be improved through training and watching videos.
