This Forward is Not Serious

Durant faced Harden with the ball in the frontcourt and directly chose to break through.

The two began to confront each other from the high post, and by the time they reached the basket, they were already physically entangled.

The ball slipped out of bounds, and the two quickly pushed each other.

Durant sprayed at his third brother:

"You can't do that! You can't do that!"

The smell of gunpowder on the field suddenly became stronger.

The referee blew the whistle in time to separate the two, and the crowd cheered.

Fans also felt that Harden's celebration was excessive.

At this time, Lin Ying came to Durant's side to ask him to calm down a little.

He felt that Durant might have misunderstood Harden's move, although it did look like a shit-stirring move.

Of course, what's more important is that it does no good for the higher-ups to take the lead in the current situation.

The brief conflict ended and Durant resumed holding the ball to beat Batum.

He gave Batum respect, and his pull-up jump shot after changing direction was a solid hit.

Sure enough, the Nets' tactics can cope with all situations.

As long as you can't guard against my attack, it doesn't matter even if you encounter a "black whistle".

Harden reached the frontcourt and continued to pick and roll to find Jokic.

Jokic defended more outside this time. Harden accelerated past him and broke into the paint. He leaned directly on Durant who was assisting in defense. He used an extremely standard "fairy jump" posture to create a foul, causing Durant to foul defensively. .

Durant looked at the referee with happy eyes.

Just because Third Brother is familiar with the rules, do you just condone him?

There were boos again.

It's a double-back and a hit-and-run. Compared with the previous shooting guard spokesmen, Harden's style of play is really hard to compliment.

But what deserves more attention than Harden's play at this time is the play on the court.

Not to mention the complicated Princeton, even the shadow of tactics is relatively small.

On the Nets' side, they opened up the space for singles, or at most a pick-and-roll, while on the Timberwolves' side, Harden held the ball and hit the big man in a misplaced position, giving Jokic "military training."

However, from an effect point of view, both teams played very efficiently.

This is completely explainable.

Before this, stars liked to play head-on in singles.

Jordan and Kobe are typical examples. No matter who you send to guard me, I will choose to hit you head-on until you flank me.

Based on this, Phil Jackson introduced the triangle tactic into the league with the clear purpose of creating a comfortable space for them to hit hard.

Other teams did not have this level of super giants. In order to compete, they successively introduced Princeton and bombardment tactics into the league.

For a long period of time, the league's tactics flourished and fans were dazzled.

Then we can find one thing from these tactics. The purpose of these tactics is to make the scoring efficiency on the field higher.

For example, the current Spurs rely on "hammer tactics" to continue their championship run.

But now, when a team's configuration can make the star's singles efficient, such as the Nets; or it relies on strong mismatched singles ability for "military training", such as Harden.

Then the tactic loses its meaning to a certain extent.

Because this is far more efficient than your old tactics of running all day and night!

Of course, in order to create singles opportunities, a lot of tactical units and tactical understanding will be reflected in it.

For example, the isolation space concept in the triangle tactics, such as the pick-and-roll tactical unit.

In a sense, today's opening game represents a change in basketball tactics to a large extent.

This will definitely be studied by many teams after the game, and then gradually become one of the tactical options.

About nine minutes into the first quarter, the score on the field was 24-14.

Although Harden's familiarity with the rules is a bit cunning, no one else on the Timberwolves can perform well except him.

Towns, in particular, was completely suppressed by Jokic.

At this time, both sides began to rotate.

The Timberwolves' lineup includes Lou Williams, Muhammad, Batum, Bjelica, and Capela.

For the Nets, Rose, Curry Jr., Johnson, West, Jokic.

Lu fully trusted Jokic and kept the little fat man on the court.

Although, the little fat man had a bitter look on his face at this time.

He thought he had survived Karl, but he never expected that someone more ruthless than Karl would appear.

But the good news is that Lu used his fourth set of tactics at this time.

Well, give the ball to Rose.

Rose won Lue's trust with his performance in a preseason game, and Lue returned this trust to Rose at this time.

It was Muhammad who defended Rus.

Muhammad is strong and has a certain shooting ability. He can be understood as a weaker version of Harden.

Then he basically has the same weaknesses as Harden. His larger weight gives him an advantage in breakthroughs on the offensive end, but lateral movement on the defensive end is a big problem.

So with just an accelerated change of direction, Rose shook Muhammad away.

Although he is no longer at his peak, Rose has a solid foundation, and this kind of change of direction is still easy to achieve.

Don't ask why the Timberwolves don't need anyone else to defend them, because the other defender is Lou Williams!

And Rose is playing really smart now. After passing Mohammed and finding Bjelica assisting in defense, he directly sent the ball to the blue bottom.

Over there, West cut in to catch the ball before Bjelica could turn around.

"Bang!"

Jumping up is a violent frame abuse with both hands.

West roared with excitement after the dunk.

Although he is one year older, his condition remains the same as last season!

While retreating, West also found Rose for a high-five.

A little trivia: Rose started out as a pure point guard. He played quite selflessly in middle school, often taking no more than 10 shots in a game.

Later, the head coach of the middle school couldn't stand it and imposed a rule on him, requiring him to take more than 10 shots in each game, otherwise the whole team would follow him and run around the court. This forced him to take more shots. With Rose now.

However, the inner core has not changed with the change in playing style. Rose's selfless style has always been retained, and he will still pass the ball as soon as his teammates have the opportunity.

This is very important, because as the core of singles, if you only know how to rush and don't know how to pass, or have no awareness of passing, no matter how strong your breakthrough ability is, you will still be embarrassed.

Williams responded with a throw from the frontcourt and Capela's pick-and-roll.

The Los Angeles dad in history still exudes a "Super Six" aura in Minnesota.

But looking back, Rose broke through Muhammad again, and after encountering Batum's defense, he went to the basket and distributed the ball to Johnson on the outside.

Johnson caught the ball and adjusted his three-point shot.

"Uh-huh!"

The knife falls from the hand!

After scoring, Johnson pumped his fist excitedly.

This is not a show of boxing skills, but a real excitement.

Because he can score goals, he can keep his rotation position in the basketball team, which means he can get a big contract next season.

How could something like this not be exciting!

And these two consecutive rounds proved that Lu's tactics worked again!

True simplicity!

…

After three fierce quarters and one garbage time, the Nets defeated the Timberwolves 122-96 and won the home opener.

In terms of statistics, Lin Ying had 25 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, Durant had 21 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, Jokic had 13 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, and Rose had 12 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists.

In addition to the "Big Four", Johnson also performed well, hitting two three-pointers and scoring 13 points.

For the Timberwolves, Harden had a near-triple-double with 29 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists, while Towns had 15 points and 11 rebounds.

At the post-game press conference, the Timberwolves attended as the visiting team.

Mitchell attended with Harden.

After losing the game, the atmosphere of the press conference was not very good.

Harden was also quickly challenged, with reporters mentioning his double-stepping problem during the game.

Harden is a good-tempered star off the court, so even when he is being challenged, he patiently recites the rules.

But reporters are not referees, so they are confused by the rules.

In the end, Harden had no choice but to say that the referee didn't call it a good offense.

Then, the reporter mentioned the celebration that triggered the conflict between Harden and Durant.

"Is that a shit move?"

When the reporter asked this question, other reporters couldn't help laughing.

There are many celebrations by stars, and many of them are classic, but they think Harden is a bit too naughty.

"No, of course not."

Harden laughed too.

Then, he gave his own explanation.

That means it feels hot.

Because his hands are hot, he can be compared to a stove that can cook delicious food, while his other hand is not stirring shit, but spreading salt.

From stirring up shit to burning food, this is really a reversal of polarities.

After the Timberwolves' press conference, Lue came to the scene with his twin stars.

Compared with the Timberwolves before, the atmosphere of the Nets' press conference was on the other extreme, extremely harmonious.

After all, after a big victory, if anyone still asks difficult questions, they are just looking for trouble.

However, there are always people who like to cause trouble.

"We found that the Nets were playing in isolation almost the entire game. Will it continue to be like this in subsequent games?"

A reporter from ESPN asked a relatively pointed question.

Lu nodded.

"Would this seem too monotonous? If a team has no tactics, it can be easily targeted."

the reporter asked.

"We won the game, didn't we?"

Lu calmly replied that he had gone through too many ups and downs as a player, but his mentality was still very good.

"But it's just one game."

The reporter still asked reluctantly.

This time Lu was a little unhappy.

It would be difficult for anyone to maintain a normal mind after a big victory and still be faced with such difficulties by reporters.

He frowned and looked at the reporter with an offended expression.

"Who told you that isolation is not a tactic? Is there a problem with giving the ball to the best player on the team?"

Lu asked rhetorically to reporters.

Just as the reporter was about to refute, Lu immediately answered the question himself.

"The core of the triangle tactic is singles, everyone knows this, and in my career experience, give the ball to Michael, give the ball to Shaq, give the ball to LeBron, give the ball to Yao, facts have proved that all methods It works.

Because whoever you give the ball to doesn't mean that person must score. He can score by himself or pass the ball to his teammates to score.

The purpose of basketball tactics is to get the ball into the basket more efficiently, isn't it? "

Lu's words left the reporter speechless for a moment.

You think he doesn't understand tactics, but in fact he is in the atmosphere this time.

Moreover, Lu’s words also made other reporters nod unconsciously in agreement.

When your team has Lin Ying, Durant, Jokic and Rose, you can maximize their abilities by playing like this.

Then, you can also perform a C2/4 arrangement and combination to keep at least two cores on the field.

Because there are so many stars that you can play against alone!

…

The Nets defeated the Timberwolves in the opening game. At the same time, the Warriors next door also defeated the Cavaliers.

However, compared to the Nets, their victory was not so easy, and it could even be said to be a bit thrilling.

Because James' decision was delayed until the free market, the Cavaliers were not able to complete major reinforcements in the free market.

So they finally chose to use the money to renew Tristan Thompson, and then gave James' starting position to LaVine.

Theoretically, this lineup is equivalent to the previous Cavaliers without James out of thin air.

In the past two years, the Cavaliers with James couldn't beat the Warriors without James.

Now the Cavaliers without James are facing the Warriors with more James.

No matter how you look at it, this is a game arranged by the league for the Warriors to humiliate the Cavaliers.

However, the reality is that basketball games are not only about paper, but also about fighting spirit.

The Cavaliers were not willing to be humiliated, and the three armies fought with their lives in an impressive manner.

They withstood the Warriors' wave in the third quarter and even dragged the game into the decisive moment of the fourth quarter!

And LaVine has also begun to realize his talent. Although his breakthroughs are not as domineering as James's, they are better than others quickly.

Then there was a little problem with the Warriors.

Green, still can't make a three-pointer!

At first, everyone didn't take it seriously in the preseason, but when the regular season started, Green's performance had an obvious impact on the Warriors.

Because James needs space to break through, Curry also needs space to avoid being flanked.

So after this game, although the Warriors won, they didn't seem to have completely won.

Fans were also very lively on social media after the game.

"So when Johnson punched Green last season, it wasn't because he suddenly became enlightened, but because he snatched Green's three-pointer away?"

"You seem to have discovered the truth of the matter, brother!" A comment from "Customized version of Lin Ying's No. 1 fan".

"I seem to have read a novel called "Basketball God". The system in it is called the packaging system. That's how it works. It beats you and then steals your abilities."

"Green didn't dare to shoot even after he shot to the back. It made me happy to see James's 'What's wrong with you' look on his face."

"No, no, I laughed to death when I saw the Green Arc standing behind me with no one three meters in front of me. I never expected it!"

"And Green just renewed his contract with the Warriors this summer, and he can't be traded. It made me laugh."

"Actually, there is no need to argue. After all, what if Green fails to make a shot in the remaining 81 games?"

"Correction, Green's temper is too bad, he will definitely be suspended, so the number of 81 games is subject to discussion." A comment from "Customized Lin Ying Fan No. 2".
