Build a Dream Dynasty

Chapter 115: Not afraid of strong enemies

On December 27, the Continental Airlines Center Arena ushered in the Nets' home debut of the new season. The team that came to visit had enough weight, the defending champion Dallas Mavericks.

However, this Mavericks is arguably the least intimidating defending champion in history. The defense backbone Chandler was recruited by the Knicks with a big contract, the backup point guard Barea joined the Timberwolves, the all-round small forward Caron Butler moved to the Clippers, and Stevenson, Peja, Brewer, etc. After the departure of a number of players, although the team still replenished players including Carter as supplements, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this team has not been as good as it used to be.

Why did Cuban choose to tighten his money this summer and let go of many champions? One is because of the true perception of the strength of the team. He also knew in his heart that the Mavericks' championship last season was not an exaggeration to describe it as a miracle, but the reason why a miracle is a miracle is because he will never perform it every day. The second is because of Cuban's ambition to form the Big Three. It is widely rumored in the league that Cuban is confident in bringing Deron Williams, whose contract expires, and Howardella, who has entered the player option, into the team after the season. The team, together with Nowitzki in the team, the prospect of the 3D combination is worth looking forward to. The last reason is because of Dirk Nowitzki's knee injury. The German defeated the Big Three to win the championship with the knee injury, but it also aggravated the knee injury. After half a year of recuperation, he did not fully recover. As far as this veteran is concerned, although he can try his best to play, his state geometry is really difficult to guarantee.

Before the game, there were cheers from the Continental Airlines Center. The Mavericks had a lot of old Nets players. Kidd, Carter, and Yi Jianlian all created their own legends in the Nets, especially the top two. The Nets' retired jersey has been locked. For Kidd, who just realized his championship dream last season, the fans also sent their blessings.

On the sidelines, busy running around the world, Taylor Swift, who was holding a concert, also appeared on the sidelines of the Nets' debut in the new season. At this stage, Taylor Swift is increasingly labeled as a "Nets fan". heavier.

Swift got the position in the front area of ​​the infield through Jiang Mingliang, and another popular singer Carly Rae Gibson (Squatting Girl) also appeared on the sidelines not far away. "The popular Canadian female singer was in the limelight. When the scene was shown to her, the fans at the scene cheered. Even the DJ took the initiative to play the melody of "CallMeMaybe", which made the squat girl cover her mouth and laugh.

After finishing the work at hand, when Jiang Mingliang came to the arena, the game had already started. Jiang Mingliang and Taylor looked at each other and smiled, and walked straight over.

"Long time no see." Sitting beside Taylor, Jiang Ming said nicely.

Feeling a little guilty, Taylor had prepared to give herself tickets for several concerts, but because of things like this, she never went to it, which is a little pity.

"There's no way, you're too busy!" Taylor's tone was somewhat resentful, and it seemed she really cared.

After all, in the past shutdown period, it was quite unconvincing to use busyness as an excuse.

"Then, do you have time tonight? Let's go out to play together." Jiang Mingliang smiled and expressed his apology with his actions.

"Now?" Taylor said in surprise.

They've all arrived at the game site, and the photos that the media should have taken are also taken. The two of them leave the arena. Isn't this a chance for the reporters to write a book about it?

"After the game. You're used to staying up late anyway."

Recording songs, rehearsals, concerts, award ceremonies, etc. For Taylor, staying up late is indeed commonplace. Nodding, Taylor accepted Jiang Mingliang's invitation.

"OK." Jiang Mingliang took out a small bottle of medicine from his trousers pocket, poured out two pills, and asked the arena staff for a bottle of water, which he gudugudu eat.

"Are you not feeling well?" Seeing Jiang Mingliang's movements a little strange, Taylor asked with concern.

"Vitamin." Jiang Mingliang shook the bottle and said helplessly, "I'm 27 years old, and my body is not as energetic as it was when I was 22 years old."

Seeing Jiang Mingliang's sadness, Taylor couldn't help but smile, "How can it be so scary, you haven't even reached your prime!"

Taking out the medicine bottle and pretending to take medicine is just a little trick for Jiang Mingliang and Taylor to get along. In a slightly passive relationship situation, showing weakness is more likely to induce women's sympathy and reduce their desire to attack. Jiang Mingliang's unexpected hand made Taylor remove the unhappiness that he missed his concert. This is Jiang Mingliang's purpose.

Although the team's strength was severely damaged in the summer, the Mavericks still had the upper hand in the first quarter of the match between the Mavericks and the Nets. Faced with the same veteran and experienced Mavericks, the Nets seem to have returned to last year's playoffs against the Celtics, especially on the offensive end, they encountered very targeted restrictions.

In the playoffs last year, a large part of the problem came from Korver. In this regular season, Leonard played this role. Under the restrictions of Marion, Leonard made three shots in the first quarter. Zero hits, no points were scored. His inaccuracy directly increased the offensive pressure on the Nets at several other points, and the game entered a relatively ugly rhythm.

There are always a variety of opponents in a season, and not every opponent will let you play to your strengths. The Mavericks, Celtics, and Spurs are the best at hitting your seven inches. At this time, UU reading www.uukanshu. What you have to do is to remain patient and deal with the opponent, and at the same time do not hesitate to aim and attack when the opponent has a loophole.

The lineup is older and the bench strength is limited. This is a stubborn problem that the Mavericks cannot relieve. After entering the rotation lineup, a loophole for the Mavericks quickly appeared. Lamar Odom, a victim of being traded to the Mavericks because he was abandoned by the Lakers management, did not seem to be cured after coming to the Mavericks. My heart hurts, but there is a continuous downward trend.

"Crack!" Stealing the ball from the dazed Odom head-on, Leonard avoided accelerating his advance, so as not to lean on Terry, who was defending behind him. A relieved tomahawk dunked and swept away the horse in the first quarter. The haze confined by Lyon.

In just two minutes of Odom's debut, the 6-point difference was immediately levelled by the Nets. This speed was somewhat beyond the expectations of Mavericks coach Carlisle. Immediately, Yi Jianlian replaced Odom's position, and the task of holding the ball over half court was also given to Terry.

Returning to this field where he had struggled for three years, Yi Jianlian had mixed feelings in his heart. Whether it's playing as a main force in the first two seasons but not making the playoffs, or being a role player in the last season and staying healthy and making the playoffs and winning your own playoffs The first and only victory, Yi Jianlian has to admit, the Nets have been patient enough with his training and cared enough. Even the contract given by Jiang Mingliang was the largest contract he could get.

It's a pity that there is no chance to look back in life. After all, some things are wrongly paid.

Compared with the applause received by Kidd and Carter, Yi Jianlian, who is also a former player, did not receive much feedback. After all, his contribution to the Nets is not the same.
