On November 1, the Nets lost 99:114 away to the Mavericks. On November 3, the Nets lost 92:101 away to the Spurs.

On November 4th, the Nets lost to the Pelicans 102:107 away

In the blink of an eye, three consecutive defeats struck. From the record point of view, the Nets have returned to the miserable days of last season. But whether it is the head coach of the Spurs, Popovich, or the writers of the major media, they all gave positive comments when talking about the Nets.

Compared with last season, the Nets were often opened up by their opponents. This year's Nets are full of resilience. Except for the game against the Mavericks, which was paled by Terry's shot, they also struggled with the old-fashioned Spurs and the Pelicans led by Paul. In the last two minutes, the loss to the Spurs was due to lack of experience, and the loss to the Pelicans was due to lack of physical strength in back-to-back fights to the end.

Fans also expressed their understanding of the huge pressure on the Nets to issue a schedule. When the team ushered in their future rival New York Knicks at home on November 7, the Continental Center was full of seats. This was a long absence. Shengjing, it has been at least 8 months, and the home court of the Nets has not been this lively.

Although they failed to attract James, Wade and others to join them, but so far in the new season, the Knicks are still an eye-catching team. After Stoudemire left Nash, his data did not drop but rose. Felton also made rapid progress under the guidance of D'Antoni, the head coach who can use point guards most in the league. In addition, Wilson Chandler, Gallina With the growth of young players such as Lee and Fields, the Knicks have played beautiful basketball that has not been seen for a long time. Although the record is only 2 wins and 2 losses so far this season, the high scoring average of 107 points per game has made fans very enjoyable. Stoudemire Earle's average of 27 points and 10 rebounds per game also ranked second in the selection of the best player of the week, and everything seems to be moving in a good direction.

Against the future rivals in the same city derby, Jiang Mingliang came to the scene to watch the game in person. He came to the scene for two consecutive home games. Jiang Mingliang, who is not only the general manager of the team, but also the owner of the team, was also welcomed by the fans of the Nets. After all, he is a good person who has improved everyone's welfare!

At the beginning of the game, Stoudemire, who had an amazing jump, won the jump ball. Chandler immediately handed the ball to Felton after receiving the ball, and then ran forward. However, George and Bledsoe followed the basketball to attack Felton. In the first round, George and Bledsoe pinched Felton with the ball in the frontcourt. Both of them were physically strong. , At the same time, a player with an extremely good wingspan, and he came prepared to give Felton pressure while completely blocking his passing line.

In a blink of an eye, Paul George completed the copy. At this time, there was no one in the Knicks' three-point line. George mustered all his strength, soared into the air, and completed a beautiful 270° mid-air dunk.

"Yeah!" As soon as the game started, the atmosphere at the Nets' home court was ignited by George. The New Jersey fans liked Paul George so much.

It was also a blow to the morale of the Knicks that George completed the steal and dunk in the opening game. However, D'Antoni's reaction was obviously much more timely than that of Hollins before, and then he stood on the sidelines to encourage his players.

"Hey, Steve, come on, it was just an accident." D'Antoni directly called Felton "Steve", directly comparing him to his own "Nash". This kind of encouragement is very clever.

Passing the ball for Stoudemire like Nash, this is D'Antoni's guidance and expectation for Felton.

Felton's through pass put the ball into Stoudemire's hands, and Lopez greeted him immediately.

Gallinari and Chandler are both excellent three-point shooters, and Anthony Randolph also has strong athletic ability, so the Nets dare not easily double-team Stoudemire. Stoudemire holds the ball in his right hand. With a fierce force, he confronted Lopez's muscles head-on, abruptly pushed away Lopez's defense, quickly shifted his body's center of gravity, took a step back to stabilize his footsteps, and easily dunked under the basket.

A very brutal offensive method, which can be called the first face-up offensive technique in history, is indeed well-deserved.

It was the Nets' turn to attack. Facing the somewhat sloppy defense of the Knicks, the Nets opened up a shot for Anderson with a pick-and-roll, but her long-range three-pointer hit the front of the basket. Brook Lopez Zika led Stoudemire to help George grab an offensive rebound, and then a throw was blocked by Stoudemire, and the ball fell into George's hands. George made a fake move, and Stoudemire moved up but stopped it immediately. Immediately, facing a time difference played by George, he used his excellent bounce to fan the ball out of bounds again.

"..." Consecutive wrong defensive habits have created a successful defense, which is what Stevens thinks at this time. As the last barrier inside, Stoudemire was easily blocked by Lopez, allowing the rebound to be grabbed by George. Waiting for George to shoot and then block the shot at the basket was the second mistake. The rebound was in George's hands again, but Stoudemire still didn't post it. However, such amateur defense succeeded in the end. As the opponent's head coach, can What do you say? Encourage players to continue playing like this.

If Stoudemire can destroy the Nets' offense every time he makes a wrong defensive habit, he should be the one who writes the basketball textbook.

The rhythm of the two teams is relatively fast, and the half-quarter game between the two sides ended at 16:14. The Nets relied on Korver's two three-pointers to maintain a slight advantage over the Knicks.

D'Antoni called a timeout, and the game has reached the present, and the two sides have entered a stalemate. This time not only tests the performance of the players on the court, but also tests the wits and courage of the coaches off the court.

Back from the timeout, the Knicks served in the backcourt. Chandler had just handed the ball to Felton. The double team of Danny Green and Paul George struck again, covering Felton completely in the first place.

In view of Felton's short stature, lack of speed, and average passing vision, Stevens firmly grasped his seven inches. Although this double-team did not directly cause Felton's mistakes, it did It slowed down the offensive edge of the Knicks and disrupted D'Antoni's original tactical deployment.

In D'Antoni's tactical system, the point guard plays a vital role, while Felton's mentality is affected, and the entire Knicks' offense is affected. At this time, George's explosion broke the deadlock between the two sides. First, he received Korver's transfer ball and made a long three-pointer. Then, under Lopez's block, he succeeded in a layup. Scoring five points in a row opened the score slightly. At the end of the first quarter, the Nets led by 6 points 33:27.

Although the Nets this season have shown hope, especially several young people have shown good potential, but this is more reflected in the defensive end and tactical discipline. In comparison, on the offensive end, each has its flaws. Paul George's ball control is unstable, and he has greater confidence in catching and shooting. He is higher than himself in singles with the ball, especially in singles, and there are relatively few players stronger than himself. Bledsoe's physical fitness is superb, but the offensive rhythm is generally controlled, and the shooting sight is unstable. Danny Green's situation is close to Bledsoe's. He has a body and is good at using his body in defense, but his shooting is extremely unstable. Then there is now the Nets, which only relies on young people, scoring 33 points in a single quarter this season on the Knicks. D'Antoni's heavy offense and light defense can be seen.

After leaving the Suns, although D'Antoni has consciously attached importance to defense, the pride of his offensive master prompted him to prefer players who fit his offensive tactics and turn a blind eye to their weaknesses on the defensive end.

In the second quarter, the Nets scored another 31 points in a single quarter, while the Knicks relied on Fields and Gallinari to score 32 points in this quarter.

The Nets entered the second half with a score of 64:59.
