Chapter 216
Fight back, fight back, fight back.
The Nets are like a low-profile version of the Suns. When Martin met Kidd, he became a poor man's version of the bully Stoudemire. Except for no mid-range shots, no rebounds, and no singles, everything else is similar, such as singles. The defense and defense are equally bad. When Raheem is singles, the Nets don't know how to defend inside.
The poor version is so poor, another advantage is that with Aaron Williams as a substitute, the Nets play the same offensively, without any change.
Aaron Williams is the representative of inspirational players, nicknamed Bai Mourning, the same height, the same explosive and savage style of play, but his skills are not good, mainly due to his vitality. The team is dispensable, with him, it can be used, without him, a substitute can be found, but he just needs to find a job to have playing time.
As a draft pick in 1993, Leng played for 14 years before retiring. He was very inspirational. He hadn't played much in the starting lineup, and he persisted in the NBA by relying on the fighting spirit that can bring vitality from the bench.
Apart from not being able to jump that much, Aaron Williams' role next to Kidd is not much different from that of Martin, averaging 10 points and 4 rebounds per game. As a team averaging 98 points per game, the team's highest scoring average per game Martin only has 14 points, so he knows how balanced the team's scoring is.
Similarly, there is no big difference between this year's No. 13 pick Richard Jefferson and Gittles who came up from the bench. As far as playing time is concerned, Kittles averaged 27 minutes and 13 minutes per game. Points and 3 rebounds, Richard Jefferson averaged 9 points and 2 rebounds in 22 minutes per game.
Except for Kidd who averaged 37 minutes per game and Martin who averaged 31 minutes per game, the Nets did not have an average of 30 minutes per game. They just kept running and rotated on a large scale.
Coach Byron Scott's great control of the field, the strategy of substituting players according to time and Kidd's style of play that he does not run and direct his teammates to fly together complement each other. Really speaking, the two are the best coaches and point guards. partner.
In the first quarter, the Nets saw that Jason Kidd didn't take the ball very much. The pass was an assist, or the person who received the ball made a second pass and it became a score. Very little running, very little holding the ball, Kidd In the first quarter, they scored 2 points and 5 assists quietly, and the Nets also scored 26 points.
Raheem did it alone in the first quarter for the Eagles, which is really easy! Martin defends with poor awareness, Aaron Williams defends with poor physicality, Van Horn and center Marko Roche or his good boy classmate Jason Collins who came off the bench to defend, Raheem can pass the ball to Mu Hammad or Ratliff.
The Eagles only scored 23 points in the first quarter, but it was not bad. The Nets really locked the outside line. Kidd did a good job of defending Terry. Terry hit all 4 shots in the first quarter, and then he He could only wait outside the three-point line and wait for an open space, but Kidd killed him when he couldn't wait. First, Kidd saved his energy, and second, he could hit the rebound at any time and directly counterattack with a long pass. It will not cause the first counterattack opportunity to fail because of defending and assisting others.
After the first quarter, the Eagles trailed 23 to 26 at home!
Terry misses a rookie so much!
With that eye-catching rookie around, Kidd won't be able to defend himself, right?
Being prevented from death is, of course, a dead fellow Daoist who never dies!
Feeling Terry's fiery eyes, Liu Mang moved away. This Terry is gay when he is abused.
There was a gay man across the street. If Liu Mang wasn't worried about being accused of discrimination, he would definitely tell Terry directly.
In the first quarter, Coach Kruger didn't replace Liu Mang on the offensive. Firstly, the Nets lineup was too fast. Kidd passed the ball better than everyone on the Eagles side. It's not rational to play against them. Don't you see the Mavericks Playing the Nets grinds the ground, do you rely on the inside to cut through the Nets?
The second is Kidd's physical fitness. Kidd's physical fitness has never been very good. Although he can play more than 30 minutes a game at the age of 37 or 8, the main reason is that he is very good at distributing his physical fitness. His characteristic is that he plays a lot of time. Yes, hitting and hitting will change from seemingly useless without the ball to really useless.
In addition to his own factors, there is also the fact that he can pass long passes in the backcourt all the time in a game. It is impossible for his teammates to run for 48 minutes in a game, right!
In the middle two quarters of the game, the Nets still have to play positions.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Eagles replaced the cavalry company at this time, Liu Mang, Jason Terry, Chris Crawford, Newbell, and Muhammad.
The Nets replaced the lineup of Anthony Johnson, Lucios Harris, Richard, Jefferson, and Kenyon Martin led by Keith Van Horn, the No. 2 pick in 1997.
When Liu Mang saw the lineup of the Nets, he knew that they were finally going to use Van Horn's positional combat ability. Van Horn's role in the counterattack was really negligible, he didn't move fast, and he didn't shoot fast.
The arrival of Kidd allowed players such as Martin and Kittles to play very well, but suppressed Van Horn. Van Horn averaged 19 points per game in the first four years of his career, and 21 points per game in the highest year. Average 14 points.
The Eagles attacked first, Liu Mang advanced to the frontcourt with the ball, and Anthony Johnson defended.
Unexpectedly, it wasn't brother-in-law Shen... No, it wasn't Jefferson who came to defend him, Liu Mang mourned for Terry.
Sure enough, Terry looked desperate. Why did Richard Jefferson have the same piss with Kidd and just defend himself?
How could it be possible for Liu Mang to tell Terry that the Nets' defense is very characteristic. These days, there are still many teams that are number one in the interior. Kobe played against the Lakers in the finals, and Parker played against the Spurs in the 2003 finals. Both played in the finals relatively poorly in the Western Conference playoffs. Kobe averaged almost 35 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists in the first three rounds of the 2002 playoffs , The finals have shrunk by almost half.
As for Parker, Parker's biggest contribution in the finals that year was probably the 12-1 shooting percentage that Kidd defended in the fourth game, dragging the finals to the sixth game, and he could receive the award at home.
Kobe faced Kidd, Jefferson, and Kittles' infinite man-marking, let alone Terry?
And Liu Mang himself? It doesn't exist. Coach Scott's defense is strong, but it will always be so fixed.
Facing Anthony Johnson, Liu Mang made a breakthrough with tentative fake moves. Anthony Johnson was very stable and was not shaken away.
That being the case, Liu Mang took advantage of the opportunity to break through from the right of Anthony Johnson with a fake move!
Anthony Johnson has great physical fitness! Stand in front of Liu Mang with a lateral movement that was beyond Liu Mang's expectation!
How can such a large muscle go so fast?
Liu Mang chose to rely on speed because Anthony Johnson is 1.91 meters tall but weighs close to 100 kilograms. It is only visible to the naked eye that he is full of muscle bumps, big and full of lines.
When Anthony Johnson moved up from the left side, Liu Mang was surprised for a moment, and immediately stepped back and threw his sniper shot!
Anthony Johnson's defensive awareness can prevent the first fake move and keep up with the second fake move, but the third one is difficult!
Liu Mang's three-point shot is extremely smooth. This move has become one of the most important scoring methods, and he hits a three-pointer!
Terry is so sad, if he hits that muscle mass, he will do it!
Offensive and defensive transition, the Nets attack.
Coach Scott's offense is very characteristic. Except for Kidd who can play fast when he is there, everyone else is grinding and doesn't like to shoot three-pointers. The Nets are also one of the teams with the fewest three-pointers in the NBA. One, Kittles, a great pitcher with a three-point shooting rate of more than 40%, averaged only 3 three-pointers per game.
Anthony Johnson pushed the ball steadily, and the muscle mass brought about a large body. Liu Mang reached out from one side of Anthony Johnson's ball protector, but he couldn't reach the forearm on the other side when he dribbled the ball!
After Anthony Johnson advanced, he handed the ball to Jefferson.
Chris Crawford took a step back to defend, Jefferson had a strong breakthrough, and his explosive first step was not much different from Kittles, but his three-pointers were not the same as the Nets Trident period later One of the best three-point shooters, with a 20% three-point shooting rate, and has made less than 10 three-pointers since his rookie year.
Chris Crawford can do nothing else but only practice defense and counterattack. It is still possible to be a Raheem who has no singles ability, no rebounding ability, and no ability to assist in defense. He lasts for twelve or thirteen minutes in each game.
Facing Chris Crawford, whose physical fitness was not inferior to his own, Richard Jefferson handed the ball to Van Horn, who entered the league a year earlier, but played more and more like a poor man's Nowitzki.
Van Horn took the ball in the middle distance, leaned his back against Newbell, and couldn't make it through. His footsteps were much slower than Nowitzki's. Seeing that the time was running out, he chose to turn over and shoot a jumper!
"kuang"
Iron!
Muhammad turned around and grabbed the rebound, and the Eagles counterattacked!
Liu Mang received the ball in the frontcourt, and Terry felt a little weeping with joy when he followed up, and finally ran! Don't just watch your opponent run away! Catch and shoot at last... You're paralyzed! No, it's Vacoyo!
The Nets return to defense very quickly, especially when you are young and deep, you can have an explosive first step on the offensive end, but the defensive end is still very fast!
But Jefferson, who was chasing back, did not chase Liu Mang, but came up to block Terry, who is now averaging 21 points per game on the Eagles!
Terry didn't care whether he should say that sentence or not, and a sentence of American imperialism was sprayed out.
Liu Mang's defense against coach Scott is also speechless. The execution of the team he coaches at its peak is nothing to say, but the execution is too much, it is dull!
Liu Mang rushed to the free throw line and was unguarded, jumped with all his strength and smashed the ball into the basket.
It's a pity that the fancy dunk was not triggered, it would be nice to have a pick and roll, the jump is not high enough.
Judging from the scene, the second team of the Eagles came up to face the second team of the Nets and immediately gained the upper hand!
The Eagles are not underestimating themselves now, as long as Kidd is not there, the Nets can play as they please!
It was a wave of 5 to 0, and the Eagles led 28 to 26 by two points!
