The Basketball Court Swordsman

The game continues, and the Nets seem to be passive from the beginning of the game. After playing for two minutes, the Nets are 6 points behind the Pacers.

In these two minutes, Garnett made 0 of 2 shots and struggled very hard. Pierce was breached by Leonard three times, and the scene was very embarrassing. And Deron’s restrictions on Paul are not as good as in previous years.

The Pacers' fast-paced offense made the Nets unable to organize effective defenses. For this reason, the young coach Kidd called to stop the game. The Nets star did not want to see the game lose suspense from the beginning of the first quarter.

"Abandon the offensive rebounds, and immediately prepare to retire once the shot is taken. The offensive end avoids facing the opponent's strong point. Therefore, we go inside more and send the ball to Lopez more. I have played. A tougher game than this, believe me, the difficulties we face now are nothing at all!"

As a new coach who has just retired as a legendary star for 10 days and signed a three-year head coach contract with the Nets, Kidd's status as a legendary star makes his words usually very convincing.

For example, the sentence: "I have played more difficult games than this."

According to Kidd, the players will be very willing to believe that they are not facing any major difficulties. This is the benefit and advantage of professional players turning to professional coaches.

There is nothing wrong with Kidd's adjustments, but the coach can't solve the game just by formulating tactics, it also depends on whether the players can execute it.

The Nets players, especially the starting five, are all experienced star players. It stands to reason that there is no problem with their tactical execution capabilities. But the actual situation is far from what Kidd imagined.

For the first offense after the game restarted, the Nets did it. According to Kidd's arrangement, Deron gave the ball to Lopez and let him go one-on-one with Horford inside.

With the advantages of height and wingspan, Lopez scored a hook in the penalty area. There was joy in the Barclays Center, and the first offense after the timeout was completed, which undoubtedly boosted morale.

The Nets players are also very obedient, and they are ready to retire the moment Lopez takes the shot. Completely give up offensive rebounds and second offensive opportunities, the Nets are to ensure the safety of their defense.

But the Pacers' fast-paced offense was not interrupted by the Nets. Henson must admit that the experienced Kidd is very good in on-the-spot scheduling. But Henson also believes that players who are too good are often not suitable as head coaches. Because such a player tends to think of his players as good as himself...

What he could do at the beginning does not mean that his players can easily do it.

Paul quickly pushed through halftime, and the Nets' defense just barely held the formation. Before Garnett was in the correct position, Paul used a ground pass to get George who cut into the basket to gain possession.

George's way to get rid of Joe Johnson is very simple, is to run and speed!

Although Henson has been training George's offensive ability with the ball, George's offensive offense is also very good. With the decline in physical fitness, Joe Johnson is no longer so good on the defensive end.

The Nets' defense is still unstable, and George wearing a corn yellow jersey rushes into the penalty area like lightning. Garnett wanted to make up for defense. If it were placed five years ago, George would be asking for trouble.

But now, Garnett's body can't keep up with his consciousness. He knew he was the last barrier to defend George, but seeing George break through from his side, Garnett couldn't keep up with this speed.

A beautiful left hand layup, the Nets can withdraw more quickly, but lack stability. It can be seen that the Nets are really afraid of the Pacers' fast-paced offense.

Henson glanced at Antetokounmpo on the bench. If this guy were to top the No. 4 position, wouldn't the team's offense be so fast today?

"Don't worry, play like just now, just like just now!" Kidd clapped his hands on the sidelines and motioned the players to stabilize. 6 points is a critical point. If the opponent scores two more points, the difference will be widened to double digits. But as long as his side scores two more goals, the situation will be completely reversed.

Unfortunately, the Nets did not score consecutive goals as they wished.

Henson has studied all game videos since Kidd coached the Nets, so he also knows the advantages and disadvantages of Kidd. The advantages have just been said, Kidd's on-site scheduling is accurate and fast. The disadvantage is that Kidd does not have his own offensive system, and his offense is too dependent on the players' personal abilities.

This can be seen from the very simple offenses from the Nets' opening to the present.

In the previous rounds, the Nets planned to use Pierce and Garnett's pick-and-roll to open up the situation. Now Kidd lets Lopez go inside again. These two tactics are very simple but very demanding tactics for the players' personal abilities.

Henson believes that his players can definitely recognize the simple tactical deployment of the Nets.

Sure enough, Horford, who has a high quotient, did not disappoint Henson! This time, Horford defended Lopez directly around the front, the purpose of which is to prevent the white center forward from easily receiving the ball inside!

Deron raised the basketball to pass, but he was really unsure, so he turned the ball to Garnett.

If Lopez still has some advantage against Horford, then Garnett basically has no advantage against West, or even at a disadvantage.

David West was born in 80 years and is now called a veteran. And Kg's age is 4 years older than the veteran West.

"Kg hesitated, he didn't think about whether he wanted to attack or pass the ball!"

While Barkley spoke, Garnett made a mistake. Leonard quickly doubled up and slapped Kg's basketball.

After losing control of the basketball, Henson could see that Garnett really wanted to save the ball, but he couldn't help but couldn't go down. He can only watch Leonard pick up the ball easily, and then personally hold the ball and push it quickly.

The energy of the Pacers makes Kg a little envious.

As a result, Kidd watched Leonard rush to the audience, with Joe Johnson's defense, using a European layup to make a fast break. Leonard's European layup is not as confusing as Ginobili and Wade, but simply bullying people with his long arms.

The Five-Star Nets were in a panic in front of the Pacers' starting lineup. Kidd looked at the bench, and he was already thinking about substitutions.

The Nets' decline continued until the rotation time. The feeling of the whole game is that the Pacers are full of youthful vitality, and the Nets are just as lifeless as their main color black.

Deron's breakthrough is no longer sharp, Joe Johnson's singles are no longer terrible, Garnett and Pierce can no longer dominate the front line. Although Lopez can score, he is far from dominating the game.

The Nets’ US$80 million starting Five Tigers could not find an advantage in almost every position. The “Big Five” statement made New York fans and the media discredited.

In the seventh minute of the first quarter, when George hit a sudden stop on Joe Johnson, the Nets once again fell behind the Pacers by 10 points. Kidd has used up another timeout, he is about to start substitutions!

"It seems that the proud starter of the Nets did not cause any trouble to the Pacers. That's right, no trouble!" Barkley cried out proudly. He already wanted to see the luxury private room. Billy King looked embarrassed, "Danny Angie guesses even bile can laugh now!"

"Don't forget, Charles, the Nets' bench is also very valuable."

"Yeah, yeah, you have to say that the Russian took the AK47 into the White House. If you can judge the strength of a team based on the value of the lineup, then it should be the Nets who are still undefeated. That's right. The result? Believe me, Kenny, the Nets' bench will be as bad as their starting lineup!"

"Don't underestimate Andre, really. Last season in the Timberwolves, he was the third-leading scorer on the team, averaging 12.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.5 blocks per game! Russian! He is the omnipotent all-around fighter at the beginning. He can definitely bring a huge boost to the Nets' bench."

Kenny Smith is not blindly admiring Kirilenko, in fact Kirilenko did a good job last season. It is incredible that he chose to join the Nets for $3.1 million. Because of Kirilenko's strength, he could have won a one-year contract worth $10.2 million!

"Cheeky and blatant!" When Kirilenko announced to join the Nets this summer, the general manager of a Western team who did not want to be named even described the Nets' introduction of "AK47" Andre Kirilenko. practice.

After all, Kirilenko is a very rare all-around player. He signed a two-year, $20 million contract with the Timberwolves last summer, with the second year as a player option. Such a "weapon" with superior performance, after choosing to jump out of the contract and enter the transfer market this summer, it immediately became the target of various teams. The result of the scramble was very surprising. Kirilenko, who had an annual salary of US$10 million last season, actually accepted a special contract of only US$3.1 million for a "mini middle class" proposed by the Nets.

It is reported that at present, several teams have applied to the league, requesting the league to investigate the Nets' AK47. According to Kirilenko’s current worth, it is generally believed that his annual salary should be at least 8 million U.S. dollars or more. Therefore, many teams believe that Prokhorov will give "AK47" in private, in addition to the superficial payment of 3.1 million U.S. dollars in contract salary. More compensation, so Kirilenko will agree to join the Nets. The Nets may have avoided the luxury tax of at least $20 million and are not subject to the salary cap.

To put it bluntly, most people think that the Nets have signed a star player who can compete for the best sixth man award at an extremely low price.

Therefore, when they came back from the timeout and saw Kirilenko on the court, the Nets fans all cheered. This all-around fighter can definitely lead the Nets to reduce the points difference! After all, this is a substitute worth 10 million US dollars!

Hearing the cheers of the Nets fans, Henson joked, then walked to Antetokounmpo's side. This time, Antetokounmpo actively bent down.

"Let him know how good you are, go." Henson patted Antetokounmpo's ass.

In Henson's view, the Nets' $3.1 million signing of Kirilenko is an appropriate price. He will prove immediately that the current "AK47" is only worth this price!
