Build a Dream Dynasty

Chapter 660: The disintegrating talent team

After the clarification period, Josh Smith finally decided to sign with the Toronto Raptors. Before the official announcement, this rumor was the most popular, so that when it was officially announced, it was not surprising.

​​

how to say? Maybe it's too early for the Raptors to talk about a championship at this stage, but Lowry is a pretty good point guard, and Smith plays with him, hopefully signing a better contract next year. You must know that there is an unspoken rule here for NBA veterans. Once you have signed a basic salary, it is very rare to want to sign a big contract. You need to show a wonderful performance.

​​

The personal relationship between Howard and Smith has played a huge role in it. For the Raptors, the thickness of the lineup sacrificed by trading Howard seems to be completely made up with this signing. Now the team’s lineup is better than before the transaction. , it is indeed a lot stronger, and it seems that it is indeed more competitive.

​​

The Pistons chose a strong man to break his wrist, and the Celtics followed closely. They also discussed with Stoudemire to cut Stoudemire with an extension clause. The Celtics’ total luxury tax has exceeded 20 million this season, and if they choose to use the extension clause, the total salary and luxury tax will drop by 30 million. This is not a big deal for the owner of the Celtics who are not rich. A small number, and Angie had to negotiate with Stoudemire about the amount he gave up.

​​

However, compared to the status quo of Josh Smith's popularity in the market, Stoudemire seems to be pre-cooled in the free agency market. Not too many teams are interested in him. There are many reasons for this. First of all, Josh Smith, despite his inefficiency, is at least healthy, and Stoudemire's injury history over the past two seasons has made him a little reluctant to gamble. Secondly, Josh Smith himself is known for his all-around ability. He can play two or three kinds of martial arts in his hand, which is profitable for the Raptors, and Stoudemire is famous for his face frame attack. But the steady stream of injuries has taken away Stoudemire's explosiveness. How much is his current attack? As for his defense, let's be honest, thank you for not having the Big Five at that time.

​​

It is precisely because of the coldness in the free market that Stoudemire is very strict about the buyout. If the team wants to buy him out, he will not let him pay a penny! And Anji is also very strong, not to let or buy out! By the way, put some news that is not good for you to further discredit you.

​​

Both sides were ruthless, and they refused to give in to each other. The Celtics had a little more blood, and Stoudemire had a harder job. Both sides suffered.

​​

When he came to the capital to challenge the Washington Wizards, the Nets' remnants made Stevens very helpless.

​​

Facing the weakest Nets team in recent years, the most powerful Wizards in recent years had a clear advantage in the opening game. Beal played against Tyler Johnson, who is known for his "defense". ! Directly point-to-point hammered Taylor.

​​

There's no way this can be done. From talent to experience, Bill has crushed Tyler Johnson everywhere, and if he doesn't make Tyler cry, Bill's heart is soft. What's more terrible is that the other players of the Nets are also overwhelmed. The Wizards, even if you don't look at his results, will be the eighth in the Eastern Conference. In fact, their book strength is really strong. Wall, Bill, Porter, Nei Inside, Gortat's lineup is really good, very balanced. The reason why his grades are average is that the core problem lies with Wall. First, he has too much desire to control the ball. Of the 30 starting point guards in the league, one hand that is worse than Wall's off-ball ability can count. You have to have the ball to be a threat. Second, there are some minor problems with his professionalism. He gained 10 pounds in the offseason, and it is an annual thing to lose weight again at the beginning of the season. Without O'Neal's life and O'Neal's illness, this sentence describes him again and again. It couldn't be more appropriate.

​​

However, Wall is a quasi-All-Star point guard, and his strength is not for nothing. His shortcomings are obvious, but his advantages are equally outstanding. The first is the all-round attributes brought by his excellent physical fitness, not only on the offensive end, but also on the defensive end. Both single defense and assist defense are very good, and he can also contribute to the big cap from time to time. . Secondly, he is very suitable to cooperate with 3D players. Every 3D player cooperates with Wall and can always give the best performance in his career. This was the case with Ariza before, and the same is true for Porter and Dudley in the team now.

​​

Normally, Wall occupies most of the ball and really uses Bill as a 3D, but in this game, whether Bill can find an advantage against Taylor or Green in the inside, Wall is also very good. Wisely handed over the ball. It's up to your teammates to punish the Nets' defense.

​​

Conversely, on the defensive end, the Wizards continued to siege Curry heavily, while the Nets, except Porzingis, really lacked the ability to score, and it was really an offense that affected the team too much. . At halftime, the Nets trailed by 12 points.

​​

In the third quarter of the game, Stevens made a response, replaced Prigioni to control the ball, and pushed Curry to the second position to add a ball control point. This arrangement really worked, and Prigioni was on the offensive end. The ability to play the ball in this hand is his capital in the NBA. This veteran also has the unique "cunning" of the Argentine. Sometimes the style of play is even a little evil, but it has improved the Nets' offense to a certain extent.

​​

At the same time, in this section, Curry's restrictions on Bill were reasonable. Not only did he not let Bill continue to score in double figures in a single quarter, but he also completed two steals by the way. Curry proved that his defense is not like many people mistakenly As bad as I thought it was, it was a bug. In fact, Curry's defense is definitely above average at the point guard position.

​​

Another reason for fans to misunderstand Curry's defense is physical strength. As the Nets' most offensive threat, Curry's main energy must be on the offensive end, so the defensive end will naturally have spare power. In fact, even James, who was madly aggrieved by his fans because he never took dpoy, rarely maintains a full sense of presence on the offensive end and defensive end throughout the game, but his highlights on the defensive end are not. It is easy to be remembered and amplified by the media.

​​

And the advantage of the Wizards in the inside line was slowly wiped out due to the decline of Nei Nei's physical strength. After all, he is a 33-year-old veteran, and it is difficult to last a whole game against dpoy last season.

​​

In the face of adversity, the mentality of the Wizards players is obviously not as mature as that of the Nets. In the face of the shadow of Porzingis on the inside, Wall chose to use the mid-range, which he is not good at, after being blocked by force. Jump shots to complete the offense, however, the efficiency is very low, er, this is a bit euphemistic, the specific point is 0 for 3 shots, no efficiency at all.

​​

For most players in the game, the good times are only temporary. The stalemate and the headwind are the main themes. How to face the difficulties divides the players into different looks. On the Nets side, there are more people who can persevere in the headwind, with Curry leading the way, and others following closely behind. The Wizards clearly still have the advantage, but they can't play the established tactics again and again, and the gap between the core players is obvious.

With Porzingis hitting a tip-off at the buzzer at the end of the third quarter, the Nets beat the Wizards by 15 points in a single quarter and overtook the opponent by 3 points.

​​

Although Nene scored 20+10 in this game, and although Wall also completed a double-double in this game, after the fourth quarter, this game became more obvious between Curry and Bill. of fighting alone. Wall was closer to what Kidd did during his time with the Nets, pushing the fast break on the counter-end, dribbling the ball through half court and handing it over to Beal.

​​

What surprised Stevens was that Bill's performance was really tough enough to not lose in the battle with Curry.

​​

Originally, he liked Bill very much, and even Bill was one of his ideal No. 2 positions on the team, second only to Klay Thompson of the Jazz, but he really did not expect that the third-year Bill already had the ability. The ability to take the lead in the fourth quarter, and Wall obediently handed over his ball.

​​

And this game is destined to be worthy of Bill's entire career. In the fourth quarter, he really broke out. In the last half of the game, he made 7 of 9 shots and scored 17 points. 5-for-8 from the field pales in comparison.

​​

Big Boss Bi has made a name for himself!

​​

At 127:123, the Wizards beat the Nets at home and continued to move towards a better ranking. (32-13)

​​

After the game, Curry, who left the court, looked a little lonely. He did everything he could, but he was really powerless in this game. Subjectively, as the boss, he should bear the responsibility for losing, but when the second, third, and fourth scorers in the team were not there, it was really not easy to play against Bill, who opened the game today.

​​

Perhaps it is to pay off the debt for the good luck of the past two seasons. In the 1415 season of the Nets, it may be really difficult to achieve good results. But for Jiang Mingliang, a momentary failure was within his calculations, or in other words, after Fernandez and West left the team, he was ready, although he did not expect to be injured so badly. But what should I say, no one's life can be smooth sailing all the time.

​​

Against the Eagles, who have maintained a complete victory so far in January, the Nets ushered in their first three-game losing streak in two seasons! In this game, the Eagles blossomed more, and was teased and teased by the Nets. Lavin, who finally knew that he was just a spare tire, gave a wonderful performance when he encountered a pirated version of Lavin. He shot from inside and outside, and scored 24. The impressive data of 4 rebounds and 7 assists, and Horford, Millsap, and Carroll all contributed more than 16 points. The Eagles relied on the overall strength to defeat the shining basket of Curry and Porzingis. The Nets, having completed the feat of 15 wins in a single month, as long as they beat the Nuggets in the game on January 31, the Eagles will become the first team in the league to maintain a 100% record in January. This may also be the best way for a civilian team to make its mark on the league.

​​

Under the circumstance that his pursuit of the 76ers was fruitless, Jiang Mingliang hoped that the Eagles could suppress the 76ers in the regular season this year. After all, it is difficult to make an MVP in team basketball. an excuse.

​​

But the premise is that the Nets have a decent record. After all, as of now, there has not been an MVP with less than 50 wins. This record has to be broken by Westbrook.

​​

The Nets' final game in January was the Oklahoma City Thunder. Under the predicament of the three-game losing streak, Jiang Mingliang made a rare personal expedition and followed the team to Oklahoma City.

​​

This game was originally a good opportunity for the Nets to end their losing streak. However, after the Thunder traded Kanter from the Jazz, the team’s offensive efficiency has improved a lot. Kanter is really an offensive player. Killer, can play low-post singles, has a mid-range basket, and is very good at second offense, which is very suitable for the Thunder.

​​

The key Thunder team really lacks a stable offensive point. The team introduced West and Ray Allen in the offseason. It turns out that these two veterans are not very reliable. What's worse, the Thunder team The image that it is not suitable for veterans to hold their thighs is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, which makes them face more resistance when seeking opportunities to strengthen in the future. Kanter is almost the point where Westbrook came to the Thunder, and Durant and Harden’s rare offensive stability was able to seize the opportunity. Therefore, Westbrook shared a certain amount of the ball with Kanter. Help the Turks better adapt to the Thunder.

​​

Kante's strength is indeed not bad, but this man's emotional intelligence is not to be mentioned. Not long after he came to the Thunder, he began to blackmail his old club, the Jazz, saying that "the only thing that can be remembered in Salt Lake City is the mountain." Naturally, it was also responded by teammates including Thompson and Gobert~www.wuxiamtl.com~ The strength of the team has improved, and the record has also improved a lot. In addition, the Nets team is not doing well recently. In the eyes of many people, The Thunder have an advantage in this game. However, after the opening, Curry used his performance to prove how naive this idea is.

​​

Kanter is indeed a threat on the offensive end, but on the defensive end, he is almost Curry's favorite cash machine. A pick-and-roll finds a small opportunity to play big. Curry has ninety-nine ways to kill Kanter, none of them at all. No exaggeration. Four minutes into the game, Curry hit five of six shots, two of which were three-pointers, and scored 12 points in the opening game, which directly caused Brooks to helplessly replace Kanter and put on a defense. Reliable Olynyk.

​​

But in this way, the Thunder's offensive threat has suffered a lot. The lineup built around Dewey's two young masters is inherently deformed. Now Durant, who can cover up all problems in the offense without dead ends, is injured, and all his shortcomings are exposed.

​​

The Thunder team fell into this stage, but also blamed the team's team building ideas. The team always puts defense first in the configuration of role players. The team is full of jumpers with strong athletic ability and stiff shooting feel. Even Holiday's offensive performance in the Thunder has been declining year by year. . Everyone cooperates with the Thunder Shuang Shao to polish themselves. If one of the two has a problem, shouldn't it be messed up? Not to mention, last year's forced comeback from lockdown took away Ibaka's athletic ability. The decline of the medical insurance card is visible to the naked eye. In addition, it is not known whether Durant Jones will be able to fly after his fracture. The Thunder team is full of talent. , will finally become a thing of the past.
