Build a Dream Dynasty

Chapter 34 Appearing in front of the American audience

The Nets have encountered troubles recently, with a wave of three consecutive losses. It seems that the dark horse has faded, and the magic is no longer there. The Wizards are difficult to recover from internal and external troubles, but the team's hard power is still there. On paper, the lineup is not bad. When the two teams confront each other, it seems that the Nets should have a slight upper hand, but the Wizards are not without a chance.

Judging from the trend of the first quarter of the game, it seems that this is indeed the case. However, it was not Wall or George who broke out first, but Bledsoe. As the only two rookies in this class who entered the league and served as the team's main point guard, Wall's talent has been praised by others, and his performance has been circulated in the mouths of everyone. One of the participants, although he averaged only 8.9 points per game, made great contributions on the defensive end. Whenever he encounters a shooting guard who has excellent physical fitness and Korver can't handle it, Stevens will arrange for Bledsoe to switch defenses to cover up Korver's defensive weaknesses.

In today's game, Bledsoe not only fought hard with Wall on the defensive end, but even on the offensive end, whether it was shooting or breaking through to create kills, he was very determined. Several unexpected offensive choices made Wall a little surprised .

Fortunately, the veteran Butler of the Wizards performed well today, using solid offensive skills to make George suffer and help the Wizards cling to the score.

At the end of the first quarter, the Nets led by 3 points at 27:24. Bledsoe not only defended Wall, but also made 2 of 4 shots on the offensive end, 3 of 4 free throws, and scored 7 points.

"In the first quarter of the game, Bledsoe's restrictions on Wall were very successful, and he showed a tough performance on the offensive end. This is a bit different from his previous game style. Charles, what do you think?" In the replay, Kenny Smith talked with Barkley.

"Eric's attitude in today's game was very positive, but facing John Wall, he was a little excited. In the first quarter, he had fouled twice. This is a hidden danger. I think Coach Stevens should remind him After all, it would be a disaster for Livingston or Jeremy Lin to play against Wall." Although Charles Barkley didn't say it clearly, he is more optimistic about Wall. Not long ago, he also complained about the unreasonable selection rules of the league because Griffin occupied the first place in the rookie list.

Veteran insiders still prefer guards like Wall who are willing to share the ball in this era when guards occupy more and more possession of the ball and shots.

Of course, Stevens would not ignore what Barkley noticed. At the beginning of the second quarter, Jeremy Lin was still on the court as the point guard, while Bledsoe was put on the bench.

Wall, who was still behind in the score, brought the Wizards' rotation players to compete with the Nets at the beginning of the second quarter. Seeing that the annoying Bledsoe was not there, Wall, who played very depressed in the first quarter, wanted to use his body Jeremy Lin used his quality to bully him, but Jeremy Lin got stuck in his first breakthrough attempt.

Surprised, Wall also paid a little more attention to Jeremy Lin and took a high look.

Others don't know how much Jeremy Lin is unwilling to lose in this year's draft. In fact, Jeremy Lin's physical test data can rank among the top five rookie point guards this year. Coupled with his relatively solid offensive skills, he believes that he should be able to enter the middle of the second round. However, reality hit him hard. Just because he is Chinese, Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, two famous players in the NBA, both have vitreous physiques. Everyone subjectively thinks that Jeremy Lin also has this kind of condition. He is not so durable and cannot compare with black players.

With Blatche's pick-and-roll, Wall passed Jeremy Lin in one step, faced Baynes who was defending, and threw the ball high. McGee jumped up and dunked easily under the basket. A very beautiful alley-oop cooperation .

Wall was impeccable from breakthrough to passing, and McGee also showed his extraordinary physical fitness, especially his running and jumping ability. Just watching this ball, I am afraid that Wall and McGee will still be able to support the Wizards in the future. However, McGee's brain capacity is real. . . . . .

Kong has physical fitness and running and jumping ability, and has no sense of positioning. The result is that after Jeremy Lin and Baines cooperate with a pick-and-roll, Jeremy Lin can use fake moves under the basket to make him lose his way. Then easily wipe the board to score. Jeremy Lin played this ball very coquettishly, causing Barkley and Kenny Smith to scream in the commentary hall.

Because it was facing Wall, it was difficult for Livingston to keep up with the movement. Jeremy Lin enjoyed the treatment of the second point guard today, even better than the usual treatment of Livingston, because Bledsoe suffered today. There was a foul crisis. Taking advantage of the opportunity of this national broadcast, Jeremy Lin also became a surprise player of the Nets. Although he was repeatedly taught by Wall on the defensive end, he showed some of his advantages on the offensive end. Offensive organization is a relatively lacking element in the Nets' lineup. Bledsoe's passing is relatively stylized, and he can't send some passes outside the routine, and Jeremy Lin has shown this.

Today's game, the original theme is the duel between George and Wall, the two best rookies of this year. However, the reality is that George's much-praised defense failed to hold Butler, and Wall failed to show a dominant performance against the other two rookie point guards in the same class.

Hip brothers go together, whoever recovers first is the dog!

And after Wall left the field, the Nets took advantage of the many young people in the team to suddenly speed up the game rhythm and play running and bombing. This tactic worked very well. At the end of halftime, the point difference between the two teams had widened to With 10 points, the Nets took the lead.

At the beginning of the second half, the main players of both sides appeared again, and the game suddenly became anxious.

Wall rushed to the inside and faced the supplementary defense with a dunk by Lopez, showing his physical fitness surpassing Rose's. On the Nets side, it was George who stood up.

After grabbing the offensive rebound, he retreated beyond the three-point line, made a rhythm gesture with his teammates, and then while the defensive Butler was not paying attention, he raised his hand to make a three-pointer.

The whole set of movements was done in one go. When Butler rushed up, the basketball had drawn a beautiful arc in the air and fell into the net precisely.

Finally taking advantage of Butler, George shook his fist angrily to vent his depression. Butler, who is both offensive and defensive, made him too uncomfortable today.

Perhaps it was because he didn't want to broadcast the team's conflicts through the national live broadcast, or maybe the head coach reminded everyone to be united and play hard. In the second half of the third session, after the Nets widened the point difference to 15 points, the Wizards' backcourt double guns began to try to cooperate and pass the ball to the opponent as if they had changed individuals.

Wall is fast, has a strong breakthrough, and passes the ball quickly and accurately. Although Arenas' explosive power has declined seriously due to injuries, but fortunately, he has not lost all his shooting skills, and facing Korver, he still has some advantages in strength. You can also shake the shot angle through the rhythm.

To put it bluntly, if this Wizards team can really unite, Arenas and Butler can put down their bodies and willingly assist Wall, the team may not be able to do anything, but it is a pity that some people are domineering and treacherous in their bones, affected by emotions , To lay hands on a junior, forget it.

The combination of two guns helped the Wizards narrow the point difference to 4 points at the most, but it was George at the critical moment. The ball, the fast break completed a one-stop slam dunk, and at the same time extinguished the flames of the Wizards' revival,

108:99, the final result ended with the victory of the Nets. In the high-profile rookie matchup, George surpassed Wall's 14 points, 12 assists and 5 turnovers with 16 points, 7 rebounds and 1 steal.

With a record of 10 wins and 8 losses, the team tied with the fifth-ranked Eagles in the Eastern Conference. Due to the relationship between wins and losses, they temporarily replaced the Eagles and took the fifth place in the Eastern Conference.
