Build a Dream Dynasty - Chapter 963
112:101, the home team is in front and the away team is behind. The rematch between the Nets and the Cavaliers still ended with the Nets winning. Since then, the Nets have won 14 consecutive victories, improving the team’s real machine to 39 wins and 12 losses, tying the Cavaliers, and with the advantage of the win-loss relationship, returned to the No. 1 position in the Eastern Conference.
When the two teams had the most wins, they once came to 5 games. After Curry came back, the improvement of the Nets was indeed too obvious. The 14-game winning streak is for the Nets in these seasons. , Basically it has to be experienced once every season, but for Nets fans, it feels like it can be experienced 1 or 2 times every season, and if you are lucky, you can even have three 10+ consecutive victories.
Hard power is one aspect, direct dialogue is one aspect, and the more important point is mentality. After Curry’s comeback, the consecutive battles and successes made the Cavaliers a little chaotic. Facing the Nets, the team has been in a long-term situation. The down dog state makes them still lack confidence when they are in the lead state, and every time the Nets win a game, the media will hype “the wolf is coming”, which also creates more psychological burden on the players of the Cavaliers. Today, the Nets have directly overtaken the Cavaliers through the double play of direct dialogue, which is a huge blow to the Cavaliers’ players on the psychological level. How to dispel this pressure is up to the Cavaliers’ management.
There is only one game before the All-Star weekend. On the Cavaliers side, Griffin has not entered the All-Star team. Except for James and Irving, other players can get a vacation to adjust.
On the Nets side, five players will be able to participate in the All-Star Game this season. Curry, Leonard, George, and Porzingis will participate in the All-Star Game, and Teodosic will participate in the Skills Contest and Rookies. In the game, Curry participated in the three-point shooting contest and was the No. 1 player in this New Orleans All-Star Weekend.
From the perspective of the Nets, I actually don’t expect so many players in the team to participate in the All-Star Game. The team’s business development has been done very well, and at this stage, the promotion ratio of winning the championship is higher. The team has more weight from x All-Star players. However, as long as it comes, it is safe to do so. Although participating in the All-Star Game will affect the players’ original vacation, the intensity is not that great after all, and Curry, Leonard and the others will also adjust it themselves. After that, it would be nice to have more rotations in the team.
In the last game before the All-Star Game, the Nets challenged the Detroit Pistons away. The team chose to rotate the main center Porzingis. This is also a rare opportunity for Latvians to get a rest without injury. Fortunately, Wood and Yi Jianlian withstood the test of Drummond in this game. Although the opponent scored a large double-double of 17+20, throughout the game, the Pistons did not really threaten. When the Nets arrived, the Big Three Curry, Leonard and George scored 28 points, 26 points and 24 points, respectively, to help the team beat the Pistons 121:108. The winning streak increased to 15 games, the longest winning streak of the season. (40-12)
. . . . . .
The All-Star Weekend is a feast for players and fans, and it is also a sprint stage for the management of each team. The strong teams hope to strengthen the team’s lineup, and the playoff teams must strive to stabilize their playoff places. Teams on the fringes of the playoffs must clarify the direction of the team, whether to hit the playoffs or rebuild quickly. The rotten team will find a way to trade the powerful factions in the team, fight for more draft rights, and increase the team’s reconstruction chips. After all, The Nets’ reconstruction model is unparalleled in the world. For most teams, it is more reliable to smash + accumulate talents. In this case, there may be many possible transactions.
However, on the Nets side, they are not thinking about trading at this time. It can even be said that unless there is a very attractive player in the buyout market or the team suffers an injury, Jiang Mingliang will not even think about it. How do you think about chasing a buyout player? The Nets’ lineup is really strong enough.
Starting lineup: Curry, George, Leonard, Roberson, Porzingis, Subs: Teodosic, VanVleet, Livingston, Caruso, Joe Johnson, Ilyasova, Yi Jianlian, West, Wood, really have covered all types of players.
Of course, it can also be said that whether it is Ilyasova or Roberson, the Nets’ power forward position is at the lower level in the league. However, there is no such thing as a perfect team. With just a few chips, can you get enough weight? Jiang Mingliang doesn’t like yy, and he has confidence in his team.
Jiang Mingliang chose to stay put, while West’s side was “run out of ammunition and food”, and there was really no chips in his hand to operate. The draft powers have been traded out, and the team’s main lineup has been as good as possible. To be the strongest, the reinforcement of the bench lineup depends on the buyout market after the trade deadline. Anyway, West has nothing to do.
The same is true for the Cleveland Cavaliers. James’ return to the team has greatly improved the team’s competitiveness, but in order to form a lineup that can build up a fairly competitive lineup as quickly as possible, the Cavaliers also sent away Viking. In exchange for Griffin and draft rights, with James only signing a 1+1 contract, Gilbert did not intend to overdraft all future draft rights to save the lineup.
The Nets, Cavaliers, and Clippers did not move. The Bucks made personnel adjustments. The team sent JR Smith, Snell and a first-round pick, and got Iguoda from the Rockets. Pull and Corey Brewer.
Iguodala’s performance in the Rockets this season is relatively average, and the contract expires in the summer. He has already hinted that he will make a good choice in the summer, which means either a big contract or chasing the championship. The Rockets have no competition for the championship in the short term. Force, and do not intend to give a particularly large contract, can only send away. Corey Brewer’s 2-year, 17 million contract is a burden for the Rockets. Packing them together and giving them to the Bucks, along with an extra draft pick, is acceptable to the Rockets.
As a result, the Bucks’ starting lineup will be updated with Paul, Iguodala, Middleton, Antetokounmpo, Larry Sanders, and the balance of offense and defense will be further improved. Especially on the flanks, it’s really scary.
After giving a boost to the Bucks’ reinforcements, the Rockets continued to help the Eastern Conference playoff teams to strengthen. The Raptors used Terrence Ross + a draft pick to rob Ibaka from the Rockets. The Thunder’s former medical insurance card has not been as flying as it used to be after the closure, but the foundation on the defensive end is still there, and the shooting on the offensive end is very good. He is an insider who can open up space. , the lineup has improved significantly.
The 76ers, who were in fourth place in the East, and the Jazz, who were firmly in the third place in the West but could not go further, reached a deal. The Jazz exchanged Favors + draft rights for the 76ers. Jeremy Grant. This trade seems to be a win-win. On the Jazz side, Favors and Gobert play together really takes up space. Although Favors has a shot, the offense of the Jazz is really crowded. Grant, the improvement is obvious, and the 76ers have Ryan Anderson at the power forward position. Grant’s strength is on the top of the center and it is too easy to collapse. It is a good choice to upgrade to Favors, the snake man. They are also optimistic that there will be no Gobert. , Favors can contribute more energy.
Objectively speaking, apart from the move of the Bucks to trade Iguodala, Jiang Mingliang did not pay too much attention to the reinforcement of the other two teams. After all, the strength of the Nets is here. , How long the Raptors and 76ers can resist is a question. However, the next piece of news still raised Jiang Mingliang’s interest.
It is reported that the Cavaliers have fired their coach David Blatter yesterday, and Blatter is the chief assistant coach Tyronn Lue.
In fact, the Cavaliers’ current record is not bad. With a score of 40 wins and 12 losses, they are tied for the first place in the Eastern Conference with the Nets. They are only second because of the relationship between wins and losses. Rumors may be that the Nets were double-killed in two rounds and an ineffective strategy against the Nets was the trigger for the Cavaliers to choose to fire Blatter. Special doesn’t agree, which is why the Cavaliers chose to do it during the All-Star break.
But anyway, this news deserves Jiang Mingliang’s attention!
