Build a Dream Dynasty

Chapter 65: All-Star Voting

Compared with last season, the Nets, who are also not strong on paper, have made obvious progress compared with last season, which is that they are not easily defeated by failure. In other words, these young people have never had the habit of accepting failure. After the losing streak, there has been a burning fire to end the embarrassing record. This is why the Nets have the shortest losing streak among the middle and lower east teams, and the longest losing streak in the season is just three games.

In the face of a two-game losing streak against their direct competitors in the regular season, the Nets' record fell to seventh in the Eastern Conference. They returned to the home court and continued to use a victory to restore morale, and their opponent in this game happened to be the Eastern Conference No. 1. Eight of the 76ers, at present, the 76ers are 3 games behind the Nets, and they certainly hope to pull the Nets out of the quagmire of the playoffs.

In a way, the 76ers' staffing is somewhat similar to the Nets, with a point guard who is excellent on defense and has a strong offensive impact (Bledsoe, Holiday), and a good defense and all-round skills. The forward and guard swingmen (George, Andre Iguodala), the post player is less of a post attack, more of a pick-and-roll and shooting. Under the circumstance that the lineup is not good, the two teams can stay in the playoff list, which proves that this tactical choice is correct to a certain extent, but the reason why the two teams have completely different opinions is that the Nets' offense ranks No. 1 in the league. The 18th, barely considered offensive and defensive balance, the 76ers belong to no offense at all. There are three perimeter players on the team, Turner has no three-point shooting at all, Iguodala and Holiday are also unreliable three-pointers in their respective positions, and Thaddeus Young in the power forward position is He has some three-pointer attributes, but he is more accustomed to using his footsteps to score through the basket. Hawes in the center position has a shot, but his shot rate is slow and unreliable.

The game between the two teams can be said to be a complete defensive battle. The poor 76ers team can stand in the top eight in the East, and it also has his characteristics. In the face of this 76ers team, Stevens has a feeling of using his own offense to play his own defense, and even said that the 76ers defense is still above the Nets. And in this situation, the Nets' lack of a person who can open the situation is magnified. Carter is too old, George is too young, Lopez is too slow. To be honest, if Bledsoe was around in this game, the Nets should have played better. Although Jeremy Lin's impact was quite fierce, his physical quality was incomparable to "mini LeBron"!

83:76, after a game that sounded more interesting than watching, the Nets finally crushed the 76ers and won at a critical moment. George is more leader than Iguodala and dares to overcome his own The problem of the unstable ball rushed into the penalty area and fought with Thaddeus Young, and won the final change of the 76ers, replaced Turner, replaced Louis Williams, reduced his defensive intensity, and the win here is the Nets At home, the referee's whistle-blowing scale was slightly biased, and various small factors accounted for a little bit. The Nets won this 55-to-5 game and stopped the decline.

After the game, Stevens gave the team full praise. Bite this game and end the two-game losing streak is particularly important for this young team of the Nets. The overall lineup of the Nets is still dominated by young people. Young people play, and their momentum is very important.

That is, today, the deal between the Jazz and the Warriors for Deron Williams finally passed the league and was officially announced. The Warriors got their wish and got one of the league's top backcourt engines with the ideal stack. While the Jazz ostensibly suffered a big loss, the potential of Derrick Favors and a potential lottery pick for the Warriors next season make up for it.

Delong passed the ball and Curry made a three-pointer. This backcourt combination is much more suitable than Curriga Ellis, but it depends on the effect of the play. Anyway, Jiang Mingliang is the most concerned about the Warriors now. People, more than the Warriors themselves.

After the unusual hand-to-hand battle with the 76ers, the Nets went to the road to challenge the Indiana Pacers, who are also contenders for the playoffs. The Pacers are only one place behind the 76ers, and the game style is also a bit far behind, but The weakness is the same, that is, forcing a player with the second temperament to be the boss. Granger is a good scorer, especially shooting, very accurate. His performance on the defensive end is also worthy of the team's cultivation of him. But his character is really not suitable to be the boss, at least not suitable to be the boss on the court. According to the template, Granger should be a mature version of George. Looking at the statistics after the game, you can also see that Granger is not inferior to George at all in terms of statistics, and even the hit rate is much higher, but the game is not like this at all. George's dazzling degree on both offense and defense is overshadowed. With Granger, when the two held the ball against each other, it was obvious that George was the more confident one.

At 99:87, the Nets won this game, further widening the distance between themselves and the teams on the fringes of the game.

On January 21, the Nets defeated the Charlotte Bobcats 121-107 at home to celebrate their three-game winning streak. More importantly, with this victory, the Nets once again overtook the Knicks and regained the sixth position in the Eastern Conference.

On January 22, the NBA officially announced the results of the fans' vote for the first stage of the All-Star Game. Howard ranked first in the East with 1,073,358 votes, but only second in the league. Kobe won 1,120,851 votes~www.NovelMTL. com~ Become the king of league votes at this stage. Although it has been controversial in the league because of the group holding incident, but thanks to the lack of overall star flavor in the East and the accumulation of popularity in the past, James and Wade still occupy the most popular positions in the forward and guard positions.

On the Nets side, George, who has high hopes, has basically bid farewell to the seat of the All-Star Game due to the decline of the team’s record and the lack of personal data. However, in the Rookie Challenge, he is still well-deserved. starter. The only hope for the Nets to advance to the All-Star Game is Lopez in the center position. Although his current 680,687 votes are far from Howard, he has suppressed other centers including Noah and Horford. In second place, very hopeful to fight for a bench seat.

In addition to Lopez and George, Bledsoe definitely has the opportunity to participate in the Rookie Challenge. Bledsoe has been hovering between sixth and eighth on this year's rookie list, and his explosive play is well suited to the stage of the All-Star Game. In addition, Korver also received an invitation from the league to participate in the three-point contest. However, in recent years, Korver, who has not been very keen on such limelight, has not decided to participate. After all, going to Los Angeles to participate in the All-Star Game means that he has to be distracted by various activities. Compared with the three-point king who has no use Title, Korver prefers to keep this time for himself and his family,

As for Jiang Mingliang himself, whether in his past or present life, he has no interest at all in carnival-like activities such as the All-Star Game. It is of no value when winning or losing, when there is no point-to-point confrontation with Maimang in the game, when everyone works together for the stars who host the venue. When favored him to win this AMVP, the focus of the game changed from winning to star chasing, and that was not what Jiang Mingliang cared about.
