Every year in late November, the NCAA, another major basketball event in the United States, will also start. As the largest talent input league in the NBA, more than 80% of the players in the annual draft will come from the NCAA. Therefore, all NBA teams They will specially send out scouts to observe the star players of NCCA. Make your own assessment.

Usually, the scouts of each team first observe the reputation of these hopeful stars based on their previous reputation. In addition, they also have absolute autonomy to collect some dusty pearls. However, the four scouts of the Nets are different. They each received a player they are focusing on. They need to watch 80% of their respective players’ games. For each game, while recording data, they give their own opinions and evaluate. Of course, at other times, they observe whoever they want, and the team does not interfere.

Small forward Kawhi Leonard of San Diego State University, shooting guard Klay Thompson of Washington State University, small forward Jimmy Butler of Marquette University and Tobias Thomas of the University of Tennessee, here is Jiang Mingliang asking for focus A few players to watch. As for the most promising Duke University point guard Kyrie Irving, Jiang Mingliang, who felt that it was impossible to get the No. 1 pick, directly ignored it.

The four players are all wing players. For the Miami Heat, or LeBron James, the team's biggest imaginary enemy in the East in the next few years, the team must have enough people to deal with him.

That is, on the day of November 20th, the first transfer transaction in the league finally came. The Hornets and the Raptors completed the transaction. The Hornets sent three-pointers Peja Stojakovic and Jarrett Jack To Toronto, get David Anderson, Marcus Banks and Jared Bayless.

As is the case every year, with the first to break the deadlock, other transfer rumors will follow. Especially for those teams who like to toss around poorly every year, it is uncomfortable not to trade. For example, the Rockets, the opponent of the Nets today, are not like "big deals every day, championships every year" as rumored by the Chinese media. But the team's lineup is really unstable.

In his previous life, Jiang Mingliang remembered such a statistic. From the time Yao Ming entered the NBA until Capela got his contract extension, none of the rookies selected by the Rockets had renewed their contracts with the team for more than two years. After the benefit period of the rookie contract is over, it will be lost.

Although Yao Ming is close to semi-retired status and will not play in this game, and Yi Jianlian is also "reduced" to the bench in the Nets, but after all, this is one of the few Chinese matchups in the NBA, and CCTV is also very face-saving. Here comes the team, which is set up from before the game starts. Jiang Mingliang also gave the team from the motherland enough convenience and opened the door of convenience.

Whether Yi Jianlian can stay with the Nets for a few years in the future depends on himself. The relationship between the Nets and CCTV is best not to be maintained by him alone.

There was still an hour before the game. Liu Jia, a special CCTV reporter, also found Jiang Mingliang who was on the scene, and proposed to conduct a brief interview with Jiang Mingliang himself, head coach Stevens and the team's star Paul George.

"We will broadcast some tidbits of this interview in "Sports News", and the specific content will be released in "Basketball Park". This program has a great market in China, and it is the most authoritative basketball program." Liu Jia said proudly .

Yes, it is 100 "NBA Frontline" away from "World Soccer". Jiang Mingliang slandered in his heart, but nodded in agreement, "The interview is not a problem, but we have to wait until the game is over. Now Coach Stevens is arranging tactics for the players, and the players will have to warm up later."

"Of course, then we'll make preparations first." Able to clearly feel Jiang Mingliang's kindness, Liu Jia also developed a good impression of the Nets. With such a chairman, it was easier for them to work on the front line.

Like the Nets, the Rockets are also a dark polo team this season. Although Yao Ming has almost been reimbursed for the season, the team played well on the offensive end under the guidance of Adelman Princeton's tactical system. Adelman, like Stevens, also made full use of the advantages of his players to maximize their strengths and avoid weaknesses. Smooth offense. The Rockets, who are not optimistic, won three of the first eight games, and they encountered stronger opponents than the Nets. This game is not easy to play.

Brooks, Kevin Martin, Sean Battier, Scola, Brad Miller, this is the starting lineup of the Rockets, feel the poor athletic ability of this team, really can only say Adelman In the selection of personnel, will there be too much emphasis on basketball IQ and tactical literacy?

However, when the game started, it really wasn't like that. These seemingly softies really used their basketball IQ to play tricks on the young Nets. Scola's spinning top attack on the inside is elusive and unpredictable, and the defensive end can teach Bledsoe to be a man by flopping. George met Shane Battier, a representative of defense with his brain. He only felt that his offense It seems to be hitting a ball of cotton wool, and there is nowhere to focus. In addition, Kevin Martin used the pick-and-roll singles to hit Bledsoe, and caused a shooting foul due to two touches, and asked the Nets' main point off the court. Advantage.

"Compared to the wisdom of the players on the Rockets, Bledsoe is a bit of the kind of reckless person who puts his head on his waist. The talent is indeed good, but the strength of one person cannot compete with a team." National Democratic Team Gaining a "big" lead, the commentator Zhang Weiping also began to express his views triumphantly. If he meets Kobe, his rhetoric will probably change.

But is it really only someone like Kobe who can change the game? In fact, this is not necessarily the case. As long as you grasp the opponent's weaknesses, ordinary players may not be unable to play their masterpieces. At the beginning of the second quarter, the tactics of the Nets changed, becoming somewhat simple and rude, and the inside-out that had not been seen for a long time reappeared.

Since the beginning of the preseason, Lopez's style of play has undergone earth-shaking changes compared to last season. There are fewer balls in the low post, more pick-and-rolls in the high post, fewer singles with the ball, and more scoring in the down. At the request of Stevens, he also tried to expand his shooting range. But all this does not mean that he has lost his eating guy. Since high school, the Stanford University basketball team, entered the NBA, joined the Nets, Lopez is a top single player inside, and his offensive methods are quite comprehensive.

With Anderson, Korver, and George ambushing him on the outside to open up space, even if this skill is slightly forgotten, it is more than enough to clean up the old Miller. Lopez hit the old Miller four times in a row and hit three goals. Adelman couldn't sit still. It's a pity to look at the bench, Jordan Hill, Jeffries, it doesn't make much sense!

In the second quarter, Lopez made 6 of 9 shots and made two free throws. He scored 14 points and led the Nets to lead the score to 54:50 before halftime.

"Hey, Lopez is amazing~" These slightly resentful words became the most frequent words that popped out of Zhang Weiping's mouth in the second quarter.
