Chapter 966: Sudden tough defense

On February 10, the New York Derby played again. The Knicks played away to the Nets and lost 80 to 111.

​​

The Knicks' former hero Anthony had a completely broken relationship with the team. Charlie Rosen, a close friend of Knicks president Phil Jackson, made a series of heavy remarks, directly blaming Anthony for the team's poor record. on the head. Rosen said that Anthony did not obey the team's arrangement in the Knicks. He refused to implement the tactical system arranged by Jackson, which led to the failure of New York's triangle offense. These remarks angered Anthony, who was recovering from an injury, who also spoke directly and would not play for the Knicks again.

​​

The Knicks, with internal and external troubles, are unable to compete with the Nets. Even if the Nets' main players clock in in three quarters, the score difference is still as much as 31 points. What's even more frightening is that Nets fans are no longer excited to beat the Knicks. The biggest despise is not booing, not insulting, but ignoring, just like people don't pay attention to ants.

​​

The fans of the Knicks will no longer enjoy what tactics the team should use to beat the Nets. They can only look back. If in the 2009 draft, they traded up for draft picks, Curry came to the team, What is the current situation of the Knicks?

​​

Although the adopted son defeated his own son, the New York media still rallied after the game for Leonard, who scored a game-high 22 points.

​​

"What stopped Leonard from making the first team was because the Nets ended the game in the first three quarters too many times!"

​​

"Comprehensive performance on both ends of offense and defense, I think Leonard is more worthy than James!"

​​

"Leonard is the Nets' biggest contributor this season!"

​​

"In the days when Curry was out, Leonard proved his ability to lead the charge alone!"

​​

And Curry himself expressed his attitude by liking some comments in support of Leonard on social media. This also makes the league's three big and small forwards more intense for the first team. Relatively speaking, Durant has a high probability of securing one, and Leonard and James need to compete for another spot on the front line.

​​

The trade deadline is approaching, and various teams are also stepping up their operations, especially some teams that aim to avoid taxes, and they are even more busy at the moment. For the management of some teams, the team's performance comes second, and saving money for the owner is the first.

​​

Of course, with the management team built with this mentality, it is very difficult for their team to win the championship. The Nets sometimes avoid taxes, but they avoid taxes in a certain year in order to spend more time unscrupulously and retain the team's lineup, and some teams simply save money, which is also true. It reflects the difference between people's thinking.

​​

Accompanying Hong Chengcheng on a trip home and back to New York, Jiang Mingliang also received some proposals for deals, but he rejected them all. Unless a very suitable power forward is bought out and enters the market, Jiang Mingliang does not even plan to participate in the buyout market.

​​

On February 13, the Nets, who had rested for two days, faced the challenge of the powerful rival Utah Jazz at home. The Jazz, ranked third in the Western Conference, has always been one of the Nets' toughest bones. The team's five-goal lineup and the deterrent force of the plateau's home court have made them the first team to face the Nets since Jiang Mingliang joined the Nets. The team with the highest winning percentage, and Grant, who used Favors plus draft picks from the 76ers to better fit the team's play style, also made clear the Jazz's goal. They are not a team that accompanies the Prince to study, even if it is a few t1 teams. The strength of the team is high, and their goal is also the championship, and they will not give up this season easily.

​​

Gobert won the jump ball, Hayward took the ball in the backcourt, did not hand the ball to Jeremy Lin, but moved directly to the frontcourt, forcibly broke through and squeezed the Nets defense and scored the ball, Klay Thompson followed up and hit a three-pointer .

​​

This lineup of the Jazz has been running in for a long time, especially this pair of flanks, the tacit understanding is very good.

​​

But it's really hard to say whether this lineup can be retained this summer. Both Jeremy Lin and Hayward's contracts will expire after the end of the season, and Jeremy Lin's willingness is still willing to stay with the Jazz. As for Hayward, he may be more inclined to play in a big city.

The key depends on whether he can make the best team after this season. If he can make the best team, the Jazz can offer him a contract with higher terms to widen the gap with other teams. Conversely, if not Into the best team, in the case of similar money, Hayward's choice is difficult to say.

​​

The Nets are attacking, and the Jazz's defense is very strong. Anyway, Gobert is a pillar on the inside, and the outside is pressing, and the gaps are all filled by Gobert.

​​

The Nets have an offensive black hole called Robertson on the perimeter. The Jazz have a lot less pressure on the defensive rotation. Porzingis was also released a certain distance by the Jazz on the perimeter. The Latvian missed a three-pointer and Gobert was in steady control. Live the basketball.

​​

The Jazz is a bold defensive choice. In addition to Robertson, Porzingis is also regarded as a point in the outside rotation that can be properly vented. As a result, the offensive pressure on Curry, Leonard, and George suddenly increased. And Gobert's abnormal ability to help defense also makes the Nets very taboo.

​​

Jeremy Lin played a pick-and-roll with Gobert. After breaking into the basket, he made a fake move of scoring Hayward, diverting the attention of the Nets' defense. Suddenly, he returned to the carbine and turned for a layup, 0:4.

​​

The Nets attacked. The team found the dislocation through quick transfer of the ball and off-ball screening. However, Porzingis was not impressed by Klay Thompson. In the end, he barely made a shot and failed to hit. Gobert received the backcourt rebound again. And sent a long pass, Jeremy Lin received the ball in the frontcourt, and with a long eye in the back of his head gave the ball to Grant who was inserted in the back, who followed up and scored a dunk, 0:6!

​​

After the opening game, the Jazz played fiercely, which caught the fans at the Barclays Center by surprise. But for Stevens, instead, he felt that this game was meaningful and had exercise value. In the playoffs, the team will definitely face a variety of opponents and resort to various means to snipe the Nets, and encounter some serious opponents in advance.

​​

Joe Johnson replaces Roberson, which is also the Nets' fixed routine, especially in a stalemate or a headwind. Joe Johnson's appearance can always bring something different to the Nets. Many fans are joking, they can sit in the position of Stevens~www.readwn.com~ Because the starting lineup of the Big Four of the Nets brings Joe Johnson, a veteran with a very high basketball IQ, even if the opponent can stand it The Nets' starting lineup was crushed, and it was difficult to prevent Joe Johnson's fill-up.

​​

The same is true in this game. Joe Johnson took over the ball from Curry as soon as he came on stage. All five players on the Nets have the ability to shoot from the outside. Gobert immediately faced a dilemma. Punch on Porzingis, or stay in the paint and leave Porzingis open. Secondly, with Joe Johnson, who has the ability to organize, Curry's off-ball running threat is multiplied, and the Jazz's defensive system also has problems.

​​

Once Curry is alive, the Nets offense is alive!

​​

Gobert is the league's leading defensive center and can cause considerable trouble for the Nets. But his shortcomings are also very obvious. Compared with Embiid, who really gave the Nets a headache, Gobert has no independent offensive ability at all, or very little. This makes him unable to punish the opponent on the offensive end once he is targeted on the defensive end, which is a big drag for the team! It is also the reason why Gobert has been underestimated for so long.

​​

Defence, the offense never shines!
