Chapter 175 [Target to win the championship]
The Bucks relied on Reed's personal ability to open up the situation. He flicked the ball from the running position, changed direction and passed Martin, breaking through the middle and dunked the ball with one hand.
After one round, Reed beat Jefferson on the left and scored a jump shot.
Reed naturally has his own excellence when he can make the team give up Ray Allen. He is a left-handed player with comprehensive skills. His offensive choices do not need to be reasonable, and he can score based on his ability.
However, it is impossible to defeat the Nets by just showing off one person.
Under Kidd's leadership, the Nets' counterattack was sharp, and they could find a gap when they attacked San Diego in a position.
San Diego defends the middle, Kidd can make a shot by himself after pick-and-roll, and passes Martin. San Diego goes to the side, and Wang Jun runs after covering, which is also a chance to misplace.
Except for Reed, everyone else in the Bucks were defended and their offensive efficiency was ineffective.
The Nets' defensive strategy is to resolutely defend single-mindedly, and switch defenses immediately when encountering pick-and-roll. There will be no obvious gap on the field, at most it will be misaligned.
The premise for doing this is that Wang Jun must start, because Kitels will definitely not be able to withstand the forward line that can be broken through once he is misplaced. Now, no one of the five starting players, including Kidd, is afraid of confrontation.
Collins and Martin proved that height is not the most important thing for the inside, the real key is strength and passion. Collins can push most of the league's centers outside the three-second zone, while Martin can use bounce to make up for the lack of height.
More importantly, short people have strong mobility inside and can save outside and defend three points.
Pat Riley said that he believes that in the future, basketball will be played by 5 players of about 2 meters, and a balanced small lineup is the trend of basketball.
That's what the Heat did this year. Wade, who plays point guard, also has 193cm, and the Nets are the same. He is stronger than the Heat because of his better offense. There is no shortage of people who can shoot three-pointers on the court.
The five swingers can basically achieve unlimited defense switching, which saves many steps in the middle, which is also conducive to improving tactical execution capabilities.
The Nets lead by 10 points in the first quarter, and the substitute lineup in the second quarter was the same.
Point guard Rucios is 196cm tall, Kitels is 198cm, Korver is 201cm, Rodney is 201cm, and center Aaron Williams is 206cm. These five people maintain good mobility. Four people can shoot three-pointers.
Except for Damon Jones, the Bucks substitute were all blue-collar workers, and they were quickly beaten, widening the score difference to 18 points.
Mason came on the court to take the substitute and bullied Korver with his physical body. He scored 6 points in a row in a strong attack, and everyone else was defended.
Korver was quickly replaced, and Jefferson, who had been resting for 4 minutes in the first quarter, returned to the court.
He is not inferior to Mason's physique, and he has also participated in the slam dunk contest. After the two met, Mason became invisible again.
When Kidd came back, the Nets fought back even harder, and the score difference widened to more than 20 points in one breath.
Because the Bucks lack an inside line that can attack at low posts, the Nets even sent out a assault lineup of Martin, Jefferson, Wang Jun, Kitels and Kidd.
Jefferson played the No. 4 position, raising the counterattack speed to the fastest, and there were misalignments everywhere on the field. Martin and Jefferson were efficient in single-handed fights, and the Bucks assisted in defense. The other three shots from the outside.
The maximum score difference in the third quarter reached 36 points, and the main players of the online team clocked in early and got off work.
The end of the game. The Nets won 105-72 and 33 points.
Back to back, two consecutive big wins, the fans of the Nets were so happy that the media were amazed.
At the beginning of the season, the Nets seemed to be about to collapse at any time, and they were playing bad teams. Now they looked like they were favorable contenders for the championship, with 8 consecutive victories, 11 wins and 9 losses.
Wang Jun only played 28 minutes, made 6 of 10 shots, 3 of 5 three-pointers, and scored 15 points and 2 rebounds.
Mason scored 12 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists, and his score was not helpful to the team. The only thing worthy of praise is that he did not have any conflicts with Wang Jun again in this game.
Wang Jun ignored Mason, and the two finished the game as if nothing had happened.
Kidd scored a triple-double in 32 minutes, with 14 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, giving Ford a good lesson. The latter only had 4 points and 5 assists in the game, and 0 of 6 shots, all of which came from free throws.
Martin was even more powerful, with 20 minutes, 16 rebounds, 3 steals and 2 blocks in 33 minutes, and completely defeated Joe Smith.
The Nets' five players scored in double digits, with Kittles and Jefferson scoring 18 points and 12 points respectively.
Kidd attended the press conference and faced the media's passion, and directly announced his goals for this season. "The Nets' goal this season is only the championship, and there is no doubt that we have the strength to compete for the championship."
Martin was also excited. "The Nets reached the finals twice, but no one regarded us as contenders. The start of the season was not smooth, and some people questioned the value of our two Eastern Conference championships. What is the strong West and the weak East? We have won five consecutive away games in the West, back-to-back, but didn't we win? I believe the team will continue to win, and it's our turn to win this season!"
The reporter interviewed Wang Jun and asked him about the season goals.
Wang Jun had already thought of a word in the locker room, and Kidd and others shouted slogans. Can he sing the opposite tune?
"Of course it's winning the championship. This is our goal in preseason training camp. I don't think there is anything that can't be said. In competitive games, any strong team should aim to win the final goal."
The most low-key person on the team is coach Lawrence Frank. He has too little qualifications, mainly commenting on the game, not mentioning the playoffs. As soon as he took office, he would wake up laughing when he came home. If he called to win the championship, he would look too arrogant.
Post-match news reported on the Nets' big victory.
New Jersey media said: The Nets' fast attack style may bring about a vigorous basketball innovation storm.
In the past, basketball games focused on one force to reduce ten points. In the face of absolute power, no matter how many skills you have, you can only be cannon fodder. This is the simplest and most rough basic principle of basketball.
The Lakers won three consecutive championships, O'Neal dominated the basket, and the Spurs won two championships. The core is that the double towers prove the importance of the inside.
Now, the Nets have almost no strong attacks in the inside, and wins with fast breaks and positional battles, which quickly transforms basketball from simple and violent characteristics to skillfulness.
Some experts commented that the Nets’ current style of playing is anti-human, and it is an alternative basketball tutorial on how a group of small men crushes violent men.
Senior journalist Mark Stern said: "As a competitive sport exclusive to long people, the higher the basketball often means having strong physical strength and confrontational strength. Therefore, in the NBA, among the players with annual salary of tens of millions of yuan, the number of inside players is often much higher than that of outside players. Now, the Nets have made me begin to doubt whether this theory is correct."
For a long time, basketball courts have always believed in the principle of being one inch long and one inch strong. The closer you get to the basket, the higher the shooting rate, the more you hit the ball.
Therefore, in every offseason free agent battle, in addition to superstars standing at the top of NBA players, more teams are making trouble for the big guys. Even Jordan must have big guys in the team.
The Nets' big man Mickey Moore and Scala Brian hardly played, and they rely on the outside to win.
Wang Jun, Kidd, Kitels, Rodney, Jefferson, Rucios, and Korver, as many as 7 players can shoot three-pointers.
Because of the alternative tactics, the majority of people who are not optimistic about the Nets are naturally the main argument that it is difficult for traditional teams with core guards to win the championship.
Since the Magic's Lakers and Assassin's Pistons, there is indeed no guard core leading the team to win the championship.
In any case, if the net team wants to succeed, it must break the law and change people's previous consistent cognition.
