Build a Dream Dynasty

Chapter 896: Battle of Barclays Center

Looking back, the jumping man Wesley Johnson singled Harris on the offensive end, posing for a shot while on the move, and using a Harden-style foul to trap Harris.

​​

Although the former No. 4 pick is not good enough for the draft, his talent is actually good, his running and jumping ability is very strong, and his defensive footsteps are also good. His problem is that his ability to hold the ball is average and his shooting is extremely unstable. You have high hopes for him, and the result is likely to be disappointed. However, it is really a good choice to sign with a minimum salary and bet his talent can grow into a qualified backup.

​​

The hard performance of the fans after the rebound affected Wesley Johnson's free-throw feel. O'Quinn made one of two free throws and took the rebound steadily.

​​

The Nets attacked, and O'Quinn's solid pick-and-roll created good shooting space for Dinwiddie, who made a mid-range shot and expanded the score bit by bit.

​​

Dinwiddie is a second-round pick, so he only signed a three-year rookie contract and will become a restricted free agent after next season. Whether it is the player's personal wishes or the team's assessment of him, it is clear that Dinwiddie, like Jeremy Lin, can only be a passer-by of the team. Aspiring youngsters, it's hard to accept being Curry's backup for a long time early in his career. Considering the contract issue, the Nets will deal with his contract early this summer and send him to the team that can give him the contract he wants in exchange for an 18-year higher draft pick. It is also well known that the two sides will part ways ahead of time this summer. Therefore, Dinwiddie hopes to seize this opportunity to get a championship ring early in his career, when he is under a rookie contract.

​​

In this way, for the rest of his career, he can rest assured that his interests are maximized, and everything depends on money.

​​

He has a huge physical advantage, but at the same time, his style of play is surprisingly stable. He has a mature style of play beyond his age. In the face of Little Rivers, who has better physical fitness but is completely brainless, Dinwiddie's IQ hangs and plays in individual offense and team organization. Both tasks are done very well, while Little Rivers is on the contrary. He is keen to pass that kind of knife and mountain ball, and is used to forcibly breaking through and tearing the Nets defense line and throwing it directly. As for the ball capacity, it is not easy to be caught Off, Martin and Wesley Johnson's difficulty in catching the ball is not in his consideration.

​​

Seeing that the point difference was about to reach 10 points, Rivers replaced Durant in time. As soon as he came on the court, Durant made a killing in the mid-range, hit the mid-range shot steadily, and narrowed the point difference to 6 points.

​​

The energetic Durant's stability on the offensive end was terrible, and after he came on stage, he also quelled Little Rivers for the first time. Little Rivers handed the ball to Durant after halftime, and then Honestly go for a run.

​​

The Nets do not have players who are particularly suitable for defending Durant. Stevens’s defensive method against Durant is a war of attrition. When Leonard is not on the court, Durant’s receiving is limited. Don't make him comfortable with the ball and wrestle with Durant on offense when Leonard is on the floor.

​​

The two core players of the Clippers, Durant and Embiid, have general physical problems, which is also one of the more obvious weaknesses of the Clippers after the high-intensity confrontation.

​​

Durant scored consecutive points and narrowed the difference. Stevens replaced the main players in time to deal with it. The fighting power on both sides quickly formed a balance. Similar to G1, the Clippers had a clear advantage in the interior. The Nets' perimeter firepower also amazed the entire league.

​​

"This Nets is definitely the strongest outside team in NBA history." Barkley said after enjoying Curry's amazing performance.

​​

Durant, Harris, and Embiid's striker configuration are considered top-level combat effectiveness in the long history of the NBA, but the offensive threat derived from Curry alone has erased the gap between the two sides. Both JR Smith and Leonard can take advantage of the excellent shooting environment brought by Kuli Gravity to complete the scoring. Every time the Nets make a shot from the outside, the fans in front of the TV are kneeling and watching the ball.

​​

James, who bid farewell to the finals in advance, also praised his "Akron brothers" on social media, and even caused many fans to speculate whether James would come to the Nets and continue to play brother basketball with Curry. You know, there has always been a scandal between Durant and the Nets, but few people will consider the Nets about James' next home. The Nets and James seem to be two parallel lines that do not intersect.

​​

As the game went on, Durant's battery life really did have some problems, but Embiid got over the gun in a timely manner and attacked Porzingis in the interior. With the experience of the previous game, the Nets strengthened their double-teaming of Embiid in time, but the effect still seems to be less obvious. The Clippers' perimeter containment force is still leveraged.

​​

At 69:63, the Nets entered halftime with a 6-point lead. Although the score difference is not large, the game is actually developing in the direction that Stevens wants to see. The situation that Stevens wants to see is this 5v2 situation.

​​

When the Clippers' offense completely relies on two superstars to create opportunities to complete, this itself is a great test for Durant and Embiid, who are not very physically strong.

​​

Even so, at halftime, Stevens put forward higher demands on Porzingis. The defensive end was really unable to hold Embiid, and he gritted his teeth and pinched his nose. But Porzingis has to take more on the offensive end. Although he has no advantage over Embiid in terms of strength, Porzingis has the ability to shoot and have athleticism on the offensive end. These advantages should be better used, not just As a tool man, this is not the performance that the Nets' future interior core should show.

​​

In the third quarter of the game, the Nets strengthened their double-teaming and restrictions on Durant, and controlled Death's balls. Facts have proved that Durant's ability to break double-teams can only be regarded as medium among the super giants. On the upper side, using his height advantage, he can safely pick up the ball, but rarely directly creates murderous intentions.

​​

Don't look at Durant's regular season average of 5.6 assists per game, but the gap between his passing ability and James is not reflected in the data.

​​

Embiid still has the upper hand in the matchup with Porzingis in the interior, but compared to the first half, Embiid also feels that Porzingis' spirit has become a little different. Whether it is offensive or defensive, Porzingis is obviously more ruthless, more unafraid of confrontation, and more daring to fight.

​​

Even in an offense, after Porzingis made a fake shot from the outside, he took a big stride and made a glide and dunk. Although Harris was fouled in the end, a 221 cm big man was in the finals. Making such an attempt on the stage can reflect the ruthlessness of Porzingis now.

​​

The interior offense has become more rigid, and the pressure on Curry's shoulders has been much less. Curry is a player with strong nerves, but it's not a matter of nerves being strong or weak, that's God. The point is that when teammates don't find the right way to play, Curry can give teammates sufficient fault tolerance. In turn, after teammates find the feeling, Curry also has a chance to breathe.

​​

On the Clippers side, there are obviously not enough people who can share the pressure on Embiid and Durant. One of the disappointing ones is naturally the team’s third regular season scorer, who can score 17+8 per game. Harris. In the finals, facing the dpoy-level defender Meng Chasing Green, he was obviously frozen. The data of 12+6 in the last game was already a significant decline, but at least the basic firepower was guaranteed. In the first three quarters of the game, he only made 3 of 11 shots and scored 7 points. Facing Dream Chasing Green's defense, he could not find his presence at all, which was very embarrassing.

​​

Dragic's performance is also not very good. While he's done a decent job passing the ball to Durant and Embiid, it's clear that the Clippers need him to do more. Or, against a team like the Nets where everyone is doing more than they deserve, any opponent who wants to beat them in a series also needs their own players to be able to do the same. Dragic and Harris can't hold the scene very well at such a time.

​​

The balance of victory had obviously fallen to the Nets in the third quarter, but Durant hit a very difficult three-pointer in the face of a double-team at the end of the third quarter, bringing the difference back to 13 points. , only to keep a little suspense in the fourth quarter~www.wuxiamtl.com~ However, in the most terrible fourth quarter, Durant's stamina began to go wrong, and his scoring efficiency dropped.

​​

Embiid also came off the court to rest for a while, and immediately, the Clippers' defensive system collapsed.

​​

Dinwiddie can run the team's offense when Curry isn't on the floor, and Covington can provide some defensive intensity when Leonard isn't on the floor, but the Clippers are rarely able to help Duran. And the people of Embiid. If Dragic and Fernandez both made some contributions on offense in G1, then G2, both of them are a little lost.

​​

JR Smith hit a three-pointer, and the difference between the two sides came to 21 points with 6 minutes left in the game. This was the biggest point difference between the two sides since the finals. Although Harris immediately found an opportunity to complete a dunk in the Nets restricted area, but in return, he was fouled by Dream Chaser Green again.

​​

Barclays Center became a sea of ​​joy.

​​

There are still three minutes left in the game, and the Clippers have not replaced their main players and surrendered. The Nets, who have a 20-point advantage, replaced their main players first. This is a kind of extreme self-confidence. The Clippers do not need to surrender. when you lose!

​​

A minute later, the score difference was still 17 points. The Clippers' last hope of counterattack was basically gone. Rivers also removed the main players and lost the shot.

​​

At the end of 123 to 110, the Nets held a 13-point advantage in two home games, and went to Los Angeles with a great psychological advantage.
