Build a Dream Dynasty - Chapter 931

Sacramento is a relatively friendly city for Chinese. Generally speaking, Chinese travel to the United States from China. The most people go to San Francisco, followed by Sacramento. Jiang Mingliang’s grandfather, including Jiang Mingliang’s grandfather, first came to the United States to take root. He also started from Sacramento and later moved to New York with his family.

​​

The Kings have completed the reconstruction of the team thanks to their good operation in recent years. They first recruited Rondo to serve as the backcourt engine of the team, activating young people in various positions on the team. After a bad season, the team was lucky enough to win the No. 1 pick and got Ben Simmons, who has the highest potential among the rookies this year. After the No. 1 pick came to the Kings, he immediately improved the Kings’ defense, excellent physical fitness, and abnormality. In the first 18 games of his career, Simmons has completed 10+10 data in 11 games. Interestingly, 5 of them were 10 points and 10 assists. 5 games is 10 points + 10 rebounds, reaching out quite comprehensive.

​​

He has also become the No. 1 pick with the most obvious improvement to the team in his rookie season in recent years. Under the leadership of him and Cousins, the Kings are firmly in the top eight in the Eastern Conference. It seems that there is no problem in returning to the playoffs again.

​​

Of course, Simmons is not without weaknesses. First of all, as a point guard, so far this season, Simmons has never attempted a three-pointer from the outside, and even his shots outside the three-second zone are few and far between. The range is a limit to the versatility of the team’s tactics. Secondly, when faced with a tough defense, Simmons will not choose singles toughly, but will find other means of scoring through passing, which is relatively not tough enough. , also his problem. The explanation is that there are better talents than Cousins ​​and a tactical position over Cousins, but the offensive end still relies more on Cousins. From the perspective of the Kings, after Rondo was released, the team’s ability to read the opponent’s offensive tactics dropped significantly, and it was more dependent on the players’ physical fitness and athletic ability.

​​

Porzingis won the jump ball and the game officially started. The Nets took the lead in attacking, and Ben Simmons took the initiative to claim George on the defensive end. Teodosic handed over to his backcourt partner Danny Green.

​​

Porzingis went up to do the pick-and-roll, Cousins ​​filled the position, Leonard cut to the basket, the ball arrived, Saric made up the defense, but was pushed away by Leonard and forced to score a layup .

​​

The Kings’ interior partners, Cousins ​​and Saric, both have a basket on the offensive end, but the defensive end is slow and has a biased defensive awareness.

​​

The Kings’ offense also used the pick-and-roll to dodge George, but Simmons faced Porzingis but suffered a lot. After breaking into the basket, he fell into the flank of Porzingis and the chasing George, and scored the ball to Cousins. In the process, Roberson predicted the right path of the ball, directly completed the steal, and then launched a fast-break counterattack. Teodosic took the lead and scored a layup.

​​

No matter how uncomfortable it is when facing Embiid, the team has been effectively controlling Porzingis’ weight and playing time. First, it is to protect his lower limbs, and he does not want him to be like Yao Ming, because of excessive weight gain. Become glass, followed by more focus on mobility and switching to small guard or perimeter. Including Giannis Antetokounmpo, Simmons, and perimeter players with poor or almost no shooting ability like Westbrook, Porzingis can play a very limiting role.

​​

Don’t look at the last game, Westbrook’s data looks okay, that’s because this is the regular season, and the Nets have more or less reservations. Westbrook is the Nets’ favorite dish when it’s time for a dead end in the playoffs.

​​

The Kings continued to launch the offense from Ben Simmons. This time he chose to complete the pick-and-roll with Saric, and the Nets chose to switch defenses. However, in the face of Robertson’s defense, Ben Simmons still did not find a comfortable offensive method. Looking back at Sarri Qi was killed by Georgeka, and the other teammates didn’t have a chance to run, so they could only turn around and force the shot to strike. However, Cousins ​​successfully stuck in position, grabbed an offensive rebound, and scored a tip-up to help the Kings break the embarrassment.

​​

When the Nets attacked, Leonard kept Shumpert firmly in position, pushed his opponent away with his back, and made an easy mid-range hit, 6:2.

​​

The seemingly simple and rude singles cannot be played when VanVleet is in charge. Either Leonard can’t catch the ball so comfortably, or the opponent’s pinch is firm. This is a good point guard. brought about changes.

​​

Attacking from the outside seems to be a little embarrassing for Ben Simmons. Karl adjusted his tactical arrangements in time and turned to attack from Cousins. In fact, Cousins ​​is a player who was promoted to the first center position in the era when the center was weak. After Embiid, Towns, Jokic, Gobert, and Porzingis got up, his shortcomings became more and more exposed. It is obvious that the first is inefficiency. Under the seemingly comprehensive skills, it is actually a highlight of many offensive attempts, and there is no ultimate move at all, and the second is that the defensive end is not hard enough. Of course, many people also think that if his teammates are so weak, what can he do if he doesn’t hit anyone, and he doesn’t brush data? It’s just that which “first center” doesn’t have the ability to change the team’s crisis?

​​

As a center, Cousins’ talent is actually not as good as he imagined. Compared with Favors who was drafted in the same year, there are not many problems in static confrontation, but his height is short, which makes it easier for him to fight in the interior. Being disturbed, the efficiency of low post singles in the inside line is relatively average, and it is his favorite way to get to the bull horns by one-handed singles with a face frame, but his dynamic talent is relatively average. To be honest, he is actually more like Randolph. , the key is that Randolph was lucky to meet the most suitable team for him, and he also made changes and sacrifices to integrate into the team, including resolutely going to the basket to fight and consume, while Cousins, he still uses data. Prove yourself the stage.

​​

As far as the Nets are concerned, the way the Kings let Cousins ​​go in and score points is acceptable. First, the efficiency of this kind of scoring is not high, but the consumption is not small. Second, Simmons lacks shooting ability at this point. The team can choose to pinch and further suppress the efficiency of Cousins. Third, there is no ball in hand. The Simmons is relatively dazed on the court, has no sense of presence on the offensive end, and the efficiency on the defensive end will definitely decline, which is also a common problem for such players.

​​

In the first quarter, the Nets led by 11 points at 31:20. This was based on Cousins ​​scoring 13 points on 4 of 10 shots and winning a lot of free throws by making fouls.

​​

In the second quarter of the game, the situation changed suddenly. Against the Nets’ backup point guard VanVleet, Simmons on the Kings side began to frantically put on his body to press the whole court. A guy who was taller than you, stronger than you, and faster than you blocked In front of him, VanVleet was obviously a little confused. The Nets made two consecutive mistakes in their offense, and the Kings hit a 6-0 spurt, reducing the difference to 5 points.

​​

For the Nets, letting Simmons find a rhythm is much more uncomfortable than being stabbed by Cousins. Stevens called a timeout immediately, arranged for more retracements from Joe Johnson, and replaced Yi Jianlian. Put on West’s tactical changes to improve the offensive end. This detail adjustment really worked. West, the veteran player, is now declining in all aspects, but the shot from the distance and the free throw line support are really not lost. The offensive end pulled to the free throw line to catch the ball, and followed Van Vlee. After finishing the handover, he blocked Simmons, who was chasing and defending. VanVleet singled Bjelica, played a time difference, and scored a basket.

​​

After Roberson took the power forward position and played a corresponding role, the team’s three power forward positions were more embarrassing. West is okay, he himself exists as a veteran who helps deal with the relationship in the locker room, and uses his technical characteristics to support the team, and his positioning is very clear. Well, Yi Jianlian, out of consideration for the family, wanted to settle in New York in the future, so he gave up the opportunity to make more money in China, and came to the NBA to continue pursuing his dreams. Now that his wife and children are settled, he failed to pursue his dreams again. , feeling a little awkward. After all, Jiang Mingliang could not move him for the purpose of the Chinese market, but it was absolutely impossible to signal Stevens to give him more opportunities.

​​

No matter how good West and Yi Jianlian are, as long as they are willing to stay in the team, the Nets will not lay them off unless it is a last resort. Landry, who joined with a basic salary, is different. He does not have West’s meritorious status and locker room veteran. He has the opportunity to join the Nets only because the Nets are short of power forwards, and they cannot find other more suitable candidates. If they really make adjustments for this position , the most dangerous is him.

​​

The Kings team created by Karl has become more active in tactics after Cousins ​​is gone. Danny Green, Casby, Bjelica, three artillery pieces placed on the perimeter, their power is not small. Like the Nets, the Kings are also a well-known international column in the league, and the team has many domestic and foreign aids. When Leonard returned to the court, the two sides still fought back and forth. Such a scene made Cousins ​​on the bench a little embarrassed.

​​

On the scene, it was okay, Karl simply put Cousins ​​on the bench and directly let Simmons take charge of the team’s offense and defense, playing fast and slow, but the Nets, who returned as the main force, were caught off guard. Israel Kuri Kasby broke out completely in the second quarter, hitting 5 three-pointers in a single quarter, and abruptly helped the team catch up with the score.

​​

Although he has played in the NBA for some years, he is not well-known, but Casby has not even won a decent middle class in his career. The largest contract he has received so far is 2 years and 6 million. Unlike other European players, Casspi is not exactly a three-point shooter. In fact, compared with Gallinari, Belinelli, and Fernandez, Casspi’s shooting may be the “worst” among them? He tends to be more of a skilled striker who can handle the ball, dare to fight, and is willing to fight. In this game, his three-pointer explosion is a bit of a dumpling in it.

​​

In the second quarter, the opponent scored 42 points in a single quarter. In the locker room at halftime, Stevens expressed his dissatisfaction to the players. Casspi’s outburst may be unexpected, but aside from him, the Nets also did not do a good job of defending against other players.

​​

The game only appeared in the last three minutes of the second quarter. As the team leader, Cousins ​​was a little embarrassed, but at the same time, the ample rest time also gave him enough physical strength. At the beginning of the third quarter, he began to give baskets on the inside. The Nets caused trouble, and the Hammers’ nets were a little uncomfortable inside. What’s worse, Porzingis sprained his knee in a rebounding fight four minutes into the third quarter. For the sake of insurance, He was directly helped out of the arena by his teammates and went to the hospital for an MRI examination.

​​

Without the shadow of Porzingis, the Nets’ weak interior shortcomings are magnified. Wood was obviously unable to withstand Cousins’ offense when he was undrafted. As a last resort, Stevens arranged for Yi Jianlian to be the top center and used wheel battles to consume Cousins.

​​

Not to mention, Yi Jianlian’s performance in the cameo center position is not bad compared to the position of the power forward. Although he still can’t handle the rambunctious Cousins ​​on the defensive end, on the offensive end, Yi Jianlian takes advantage of his opponents. Laziness and slack on the defensive end, hit three-pointers to help the team stop the bleeding.

​​

However, the role of Porzingis in the Nets is not limited to the interior top defense~www.mtlnovel.com~ After the pick-and-roll switch, the restrictions on the opponent’s smaller players are also very important. Without his help defense, it is not only the interior. For Cousins, Simmons on the outside is also getting better and smoother. Either use the small hits after the pick-and-roll and resolutely make damage inside, or attract defenses and send second passes to assist teammates to score.

​​

The champion team led last season’s fish belly team to overthrow the championship team. This kind of plot usually only appears in novels. However, Simmons has the opportunity to turn it all into reality. After the third quarter, the Kings overtook the game. The Nets scored 9 points.

​​

In the fourth quarter of the game, Stevens tried to change the status quo of the game by making substitutions. He replaced Joe Johnson as the point guard of the regional team. While improving the team’s perimeter attack, he tried to regain the rhythm. However, this attempt ended in failure. The Kings resorted to the means of Simmons and Green attacking Joe Johnson. The Nets’ **** were suppressed, and mistakes were made frequently. The suspense of the game gradually increased as the point difference widened. disappear.

​​

George is the No. 2 position. Compared with the ordinary No. 2 position, his advantage lies in his height and body shape. Quantitative, can’t keep up. Second, his ball-handling skills are really not very good, which can be seen from his keenness to use shooting to solve problems and rarely get to the basket. It may be a little better to attack directly around the three-point line. It is really embarrassing for him to assist him with the ball in the backcourt.

​​

At the same time, Leonard also does not have such ability. Two people play together and there is no Curry. This problem can easily be magnified.
