Build a Dream Dynasty

On October 5, the preseason officially started, with the New Jersey Nets playing against the Denver Nuggets. It was still a while before leaving the stadium, and countless fans had already gathered inside and outside the stadium. Many fans who did not have tickets had no choice but to accept the exploitation of the scalpers. Soon, the Wukesong basketball hall was full, and the atmosphere of the NBA in China could be seen as normal. The presence of local player Yi Jianlian and fan-absorbing Chinese owner Jiang Mingliang made the Nets the home team of the audience, and the participation of NBA star balloon star Anthony made fans feel the respect from the NBA to the greatest extent. After all, in the past, apart from the Rockets' Yao Mai combination, there were not many All-Star players who came to China to participate in the preseason.

Accompanying Jiang Mingliang in the stands to watch the game were Yao Ming who had previously reached a strategic cooperation agreement, Jimmy Parker, the senior executive of the NBA's Huaxia District, and Xin Lancheng, the chairman of the Huaxia Basketball Association.

The basketball babies from the NBA swayed their dances wantonly on the Huaxia court, which can be regarded as letting the audience see what is the top song and dance performance on the court. Objectively speaking, the CBA basketball baby is behind in all aspects.

"The entertainment culture of the United States is deeply rooted in the bone marrow. No matter what the sport is, within the scope of the rules, in order to please the audience to the greatest extent, only in this way can the audience be willing to pay for the tickets."

It is normal for CBA teams to lose money. Each team is supported by local leading companies who want policies and advertise. One year after Yao Ming bought the Sharks, the team suffered serious losses. It is his goal to make the team's operation more professional and standardized within his ability. Therefore, he has also put the transformation of the team's cheerleading team on the agenda.

After the performance of the basketball babies, all the lights on the scene were turned off, and the arena was enveloped in darkness. Suddenly, a beam of light came out and circled around the auditorium, winning a round of cheers from the scene. Immediately afterwards, DJ introduced the players of the Nets with a very passionate tone, and every time a player's name was called, there was a burst of cheers from the scene, especially the name of Yi Jianlian who appeared as the starting power forward was called At that time, the cheers of the audience reached the highest point. Even Anthony, who appeared at the end, failed to get such cheers from Yi Jianlian.

The China Game is a project that the NBA attaches great importance to, so for the Nuggets, George Karl also played the main team, Billups, Dante Jones, Carmelo Anthony, Kenyon Martin, and Nene. As for the Nets' lineup, except for Yi Jianlian who replaced Anderson's starting position, the other four starters are basically the starting lineup for the new season's regular season, Bledsoe, Korver, George, and Lopez. On the book analysis, the Nets are much weaker than the Nuggets.

With the jump ball at the beginning, Lopez succeeded in jumping the ball. After Paul George got the basketball in the backcourt, he quickly controlled the ball and advanced. Soon, Anthony stood in front of him.

The first opponent after entering the professional league was Anthony, the top 3 in the league at the small forward position. For George, he was a perfect whetstone. He bent over and dribbled the ball to suppress the rhythm. , Lopez followed the tactical instructions and mentioned the top of the arc to do a pick-and-roll for George.

The pick-and-roll is the core of Stevens' offensive system. In the past period of time, what Stevens focused on instilling in the players' minds was the connection between "blocking" and "rolling". Blocking is very particular about quality, and dismantling this door reflects the player's basketball IQ. George broke into the top of the arc on the right side of the penalty area, attracting the attention of Nene, who followed up the defense, and Martin, who was preparing to defend on the right side. The ball was passed to Yi Jianlian, who moved laterally to the wing, and Yi Jianlian threw the ball directly to the inside penalty area. Lopez, who inserted into the inside line in time, caught the ball under the basket and scored an easy slam dunk.

In this round of offense, George, Yi Jianlian, and Lopez all met Stevens' requirements in terms of tactical execution. First of all, Lopez made the wall and basically blocked Anthony, giving George a chance to single-play Nene, and it is also very important for George to divide the ball in time after attracting two double-teams, and to block Anthony in time to block Anthony from defending the basket. , The point is, make full use of Anthony's carelessness when defending pick-and-rolls.

Although Yi Jianlian did not score directly, at least according to the statistics, Yi Jianlian's assists increased by one, and it was a beautiful assist. After Lopez completed the slam dunk, the arena also burst into applause.

Laymen watch the excitement, experts watch the doorway, the offense just now, George did not increase in statistics, but he played the biggest role. On the defensive end, George also faced a test he had never experienced before.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"

Anthony's weight of 109 kilograms combined with his big butt, which is naturally suitable for back-up singles, hit Paul George one after another, and each hit was like a car hitting George. The weight gap of a full 11 kilograms is really a little bit reluctant for George. Moreover, Anthony is different from other small forwards. When it comes to offensive skills, he is almost the most comprehensive attacker in the league, and it doesn't matter if he adds one or not.

Turning around and passing George, Yi Jianlian, facing the supplementary defense, took the shot. Although the ball did not go in under the interference, it caused Yi Jianlian's foul.

Basically, there is no tactic to speak of, just pull everyone apart and let Anthony single-handedly beat George.

After making two free throws, the game continued. This time, the Nets were rookie point guard Bledsoe, who still used the pick-and-roll to launch the offense. This time, Lopez blocked Billup After that, Billups did not insert into the basket, but continued to make a wall for the second time, blocking Jones, who followed Korver to the right, but this time, Billups caught Korver in time. In front of him, Korver, who was forced to receive the pass, made a shot with a little reluctance when his line of sight was blocked.

"Shua~" Korver scored a three-pointer, and Korver used to be a representative of a trick that was eaten all over the world. The shooting feel is really very stable.

"Coach Stevens really has something in his stomach." In just two rounds of offense, Yao Ming saw the transformation of Stevens for the Nets. They all scored second. The point is that the five players on the field all took their respective responsibilities in the offense. Whether it's George's seamless switch from the ball handler to the pick-and-roll man, or Lopez's two consecutive walls, it's a very subtle technique.

"I never planned to build a team according to the ideas of the Thunder, nor did I plan to give up this season. I think the Nets can make the playoffs." Jiang Mingliang expressed his position confidently.

In this regard, Yao Ming was noncommittal.

Coaches who have goods in their stomachs are of course better in the NBA, but the strength of the players is equally important. The talents of the Nets are not bad, but they are too young. Being young means making mistakes.

Everything on the court also confirmed Yao Ming's thoughts. Bledsoe, who was actively defending, was easily picked up by Billups, and then a shooting foul was inevitable.

Defense is not just about enthusiasm.
