The Godfather of Basketball

These 7 games are a microcosm of the Nets from October to December.

Except for a loss to the Celtics and Trail Blazers, the Nets have not lost since the start of the game.

The record of 19 wins and 2 losses is enough to disdain the entire league.

When the time entered December, they encountered a slight problem. It was not a run-in, but an injury.

In the game against the Jazz, George was maliciously overturned by Allen Grayson Allen and injured his knee. Although Allen was severely punished by a 20-game suspension, George had to rest for a month to recover.

In the first game after George's injury, they ushered in a contest with the Spurs at home.

The performance of the Spurs this season is very close to ESPN's predictions. The record of 15 wins and 6 losses ranks third in the West after the Warriors and Rockets. DeRozan's 20.8 points per game also make up for Lenner German blank.

With George injured and unable to play, this game will be a challenge for the Nets.

However, New York fans still have great confidence in their team. They believe that the home team will, as in the past, dedicate a victory to the home fans.

George didn't play, Tang Tian put Mitchell in the starting lineup, and made no adjustments to other positions.

For the Spurs, Mills and Belinelli are on the outside, DeRozan and Aldridge are on the front line, and Gasol is the center.

Gasol beat Jokic in a jump and gave the visiting team the opportunity to attack first.

The Spurs went to the frontcourt to cooperate.

An iconic awl attack, Mills gave the ball to DeRozan, and DeRozan made a mid-range shot.

The old man prescribes the right medicine, fine-tunes the tactics, and sets the end point at the mid-range position that DeRozan is best at.

The Nets attacked the frontcourt, and the Spurs focused their defense on Irving, but there were many offensive points on the court. Mitchell rushed in after receiving the ball, attracting Anthony who double-teamed and scored the free throw line.

Anthony caught the ball and directly pulled it in.

The Spurs played hammer tactics in the frontcourt again, and the Nets were on guard this time, and Butler got stuck in the position ahead of time.

Aldridge pulled out to do a pick-and-roll at this time, DeRozan used the pick-and-roll to attack Anthony, and made an emergency stop and went back.

The Nets missed Mitchell's layup in the frontcourt, and DeRozan turned around and missed.

Jokic scored a double-team from Gasol in the low post, and Mitchell scored an air cut in the middle.

The Spurs feel very good tonight, and the Nets' offensive and defensive strength has also dropped a lot after the loss of George. The two sides have been deadlocked in terms of scores.

After the first quarter, the score on the field was tied at 25, and the two sides drew a tie.

In the second quarter, the old man had five substitutes at once, Forbes and Lonnie Walker on the outside, Ginobili and Gay on the front, and Bertans at the center. This is a purely small lineup.

The Nets have a regular rotation, with Murray and Wade on the outside, Ding Yanyuhang and Kuzma on the front, and Yi Jianlian at the center.

Wade scored Kuzma in the frontcourt. The latter passed Gay for a layup, but was interfered by Bertans and missed. Gay turned around and took a defensive rebound.

The Spurs pushed back to the frontcourt, Ginobili responded from the outside, and after a false pass tricked Ding Yanyuhang to turn his head, he directly started to break through to the inside line and score a layup.

Yi Jianlian's mid-range jumper almost missed, and Bertans received a defensive rebound.

The Spurs advanced to the frontcourt again. Ginobili faced Yi Jianlian in a misplaced position. After shaking continuously, he accelerated to the basket. This time he chose to pass the ball to Walker on the outside. Walker shot and scored after showing his physical fitness.

Ding Yanyuhang jumped too hard and was called for a foul. When he landed, he stepped on Walker's instep and fell down.

This happened suddenly, and the team doctor of the Nets came on the court immediately.

The situation was not too bad, Ding Yan Yuhang was helped to the sidelines.

Sideline substitutions, Porter replaced.

Walker's extra penalty hit, the Spurs played a 5-0 offensive in the past minute, opening the point difference to 5 points.

The Nets attacked in the frontcourt, and Kuzma missed the shot after borrowing Yi Jianlian's pick-and-roll.

After the second quarter came up, the overall feel of the Nets was a bit cold.

But at this moment, a figure flew into the inner line.

It's Potter!

The psychological assistant of the Nets played a certain role, but it still didn't change his mentality of being anxious to prove himself. Now, taking advantage of Bertans being pulled to the free throw line, he flew in directly.

Before anyone else could react, he jumped and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand.

Super fast start-up speed, excellent wingspan, this one is quite stretched and easy.

There was a whistle at the scene.

Porter hasn't played in regular time for a while, and the dunk is amazing!

The Spurs failed to attack the frontcourt and hit the hammer tactics. Gay directly sat in the low position to eat Kuzma. Kuzma did not suffer from his height, but he was at a disadvantage in confrontation.

Gay turned around and walked to the basket after playing back.

At this moment, Porter was very active in assisting defense. With a height of 2.08 meters and a wingspan of 2.13 meters, Porter directly blocked his passing route.

He barely made a shot after the confrontation, and Porter took advantage of the defensive rebound.

There were bursts of cheers at the scene, and Porter was full of presence on the field during this period!

Tang Tian nodded in satisfaction when he saw this.

I talked to Frank about Porter’s problem before. Apart from psychology, there is also confrontation. Porter is similar to Durant who just entered the league. He is thin and tall. After the confrontation, the hit rate dropped.

Durant is invincible after training, and Porter's talent is almost unknown, but it can be seen that the extra training in the past month or so is still useful. At least this confrontation is much better than at the beginning of the season.

Kuzma cooperated with Yi Jianlian at a high position in the frontcourt, caught the ball down and finally scored a layup.

Here Gay missed a three-pointer from the outside, and the Nets had a chance to tie the score by advancing to the frontcourt.

The Spurs' defensive intensity was very high at this time, and they didn't give the Nets a chance. Seeing that there was not much attack time left, Kuzma was double-teamed and gave the ball to Porter.

There were only 3 seconds left for Porter to catch the ball and attack, and he faced Gay with a turn and back shot.

Guy rushed fiercely, hitting Potter's hand with his hand, and the two bodies also confronted each other in the air.

The referee blows his whistle.

Porter still threw the ball after the confrontation.

"Shua!"

In the next second, the ball was still hollow into the net!

A nice 2+1!

Guy shook his head helplessly after seeing the goal.

He had successfully destroyed Porter's shot just now, and no matter how big the move was, he might be called malicious.

But after Porter's confrontation ability improved, the ball just now successfully showed his soft side.
