Chapter 813 [Easy Assist, Bursting with Confidence]

Kidd was fortunate to get a championship ring near the end of his career, and as soon as he retired, he became the head coach of a strong team, something that few people can encounter. Unfortunately, there are a lot of issues with the Nets' roster and Kidd is under a lot of pressure.

Coaching is not so easy.

In the face of the Knicks' strong offensive firepower, Kidd didn't know how to adjust, and if he didn't adjust, some people would say that he was not good at adapting on the spot. It's even more tragic if it's useless to adjust, and it may be said that he made a tactical mistake.

In order to strengthen the attack, Kidd replaced Garnett, who had a bad hand, in the second half and replaced Lopez. It was like a tactical mistake.

The Knicks immediately replaced Bredsoe and Matthews to form a two-guard guard. The interior also replaced Jefferson with Anderson, adding an outside shooting point.

The Knicks were in double cover in the position, Zhou Xuan got rid of Delon and Anthony, and Lopez shot if he was slower. The Nets missed, the Knicks immediately counterattacked, and Bredsoe could shake off Joe Johnson.

The Knicks led by six points at 34-18. Anthony was dumbfounded, Leonard and Bosh were on the outside, and he was very successful in shooting.

Zhou Xuan scored 4 points and handed out 7 assists, and his performance was eye-catching. Bosh had 1o points and 2 rebounds, and Jefferson had 6 points and 4 rebounds.

In the second quarter, Lopes came off the bench with teammates Evans, Pierce, Alan Smith, and Livingston.

The Knicks came up with Hellam Porter, Anderson, Parsons, guards Bledsoe and Augustin, a standard run-and-gun formation.

The Nets players were a little slower, and the Knicks grabbed the rebound and threw it to the frontcourt, and the three of them went on a fast break. The No. 1 position of the Nets has a height advantage, but they can't take advantage of it. There are three veterans left and one Lรณpez, who is slower than the veterans.

After only three minutes of play, the score was stretched to two points, and Kidd called a timeout.

Not only do Nets fans not want to see this kind of one-sided game, but Knicks fans don't want to, which means that Knicks stars will play less time in the second half.

Kidd's adjustment was to send Delon and Livingston to form a two-guard lineup, with Smith at the -and-one position, Pierce as a cameo at power forward, and Evans, who is not good at shooting, resting.

The offense is strong enough, but the defense is still problematic. Bowler pulled out to block the pick-and-roll, Lopez had to follow, and a little slower Augustin scored on a one-step pull-up shot, and then he broke through Lopez to assist Bledsoe for a layup.

The Nets' offense depends on the individual ability of the players, and the tactic is a simple blocking and pick-and-roll, and Delon has a lot of responsibility, and he plays without aura.

In the summer, O'Neill, the big shark, participated in a show, and in the "pIdtftftT" session, the host asked some tricky questions

One of the questions thrown at O'Neal was: "Who is the most overrated player in the NHA right now?" โ€

"Some say it's Dirk Nowitzki." As he spoke, O'Neill pointed his finger at the audience.

As a result, the host took this as O'Neill's answer. In fact, just last year, O'Neill praised Nowitzki and considered Nowitzki to belong to the category of the Hall of Fame. When O'Neal's jersey was retired in 213, Nowitzki also praised O'Neal.

O'Neill laughed and explained that it was the audience who said it, and he thought that the most overrated was Deron Williams.

After last season, EP reporter Chris Brosart interviewed some of the league's scouts and asked them to list what they thought were the most overrated players of the season.

In the eyes of scouts, Rubio, Irving, and Rondo seem to have become overrated models, and Nets guard Delon is accused of being far from his prime.

"I think Delon's best days are behind him. I've been following him for the past two years, and he's not the Utah Jazz leader I remember. At the time I thought he was the best playmaker in the league. An Eastern Conference scout said of Delon that "with the Nets, Delon doesn't do a good job. Maybe he'll be able to come out of the injury completely, but he's been in this form for two years and I don't think he'll be able to play at the level he did with the Jazz.

Unfortunately, the Nets have just completed a contract extension with Delong, and counting this season, they will have to pay him a salary of 860,000 for four years.

Kidd could only replace the stars in 6 replacements, and D'Antoni was considering whether to replace Zhou Xuan at this time, because Augustin looked to be playing well, controlling the tempo and not becoming a defensive hole. He's short, actually only 18UCM, but neither of the Nets' guards is the type to shoot at the basket.

DeLong had a poor shooting percentage last season. Livingston hasn't proven himself for a long time, or rather, he never did.

Joe Johnson came on the court and hit two three-pointers in quick succession from the perimeter to help the team recover some points. At this time, D'Antoni was replaced by Zhou Xuan and Bosh. Parsons moved to the No. 4 position and switched to small-ball tactics.

In order to defend the guard, Kidd replaced Lopez off the court, and the Knicks immediately made a substitution in response to the Nets' adjustments. Bosh can play center at this time to defend the inside. Garnett couldn't guarantee a low-post offensive efficiency last season.

The Knicks' small-ball tactics have also improved their ability to defend the outside. Leonard and Anthony and Parsons are eyeing Joe Johnson on the perimeter, and Zhou Xuan and Augustin are facing off against the Nets' double guard.

Eventually, D'Antoni decided to give Augustine a little more time, and he shot better than Bredso, and it paid off quickly.

Zhou Xuan dribbled the ball to the right side, and Augustin and Bosh ran to the bottom corner without the ball cover. Because his numbers last season were so bad that no team wanted to bring him in the summer, Garnett didn't change the defense in time and stayed under the basket to block Bosh from cutting. Zhou Xuan passed the ball, Augustin scored a three-pointer in an empty position, and Livingston, who was chasing the defense, was not fast enough to block it.

After a minute, Zhou Xuan relied on the off-ball cover to cut into the air, attracting Anthony's defense, and Augustin and Parsons on the side played a block, and the jump shot went in, and Garnett didn't defend it.

Van Gundy said: "The Knicks have been amazing in recent years, not only Zhou Xuan, but also role players who can play very well when they come to the Knicks. โ€

Johnson said: "D'Antoni is good offensively and plays some players who are not as good as they can shoot. Dior, Quentin Richardson, Tim Thomas, Bale are all good examples. In the Knicks, Leonard, Parsons and others have also played confidently, and he and Woodson are a good match. โ€

In the last two minutes, Garnett didn't dare to go to the low post, and after blocking and dismantling, he was ready to return to the defense in the middle, the Nets were not active in grabbing rebounds in the frontcourt, and the Knicks also gave up the fast break and switched to positional warfare.

When the Nets strengthened their defense of the interior and pitchers, Zhou Xuan began to play singles. The crotch dribble changed direction past Livingston and scored on a 6-degree jumper from the right side.

He then dodged Deron on cover and drew a pass to Augustin, who cut in the middle, and scored on a pull-up jumper. Multiple injuries have made Livingston's talent worse, and Kidd has not had the courage to switch to a third backup guard to speed up, and the Nets have been behind.

In the half, Zhou Xuan had B points, 2 rebounds, 11 assists and 1 steal. The Knicks led by 19 points at 6-48.

Anthony, who only scored B points in the first half, finally started to threaten, and he found his touch in the third quarter, scoring consecutive jumpers to lead the team to bite the score. Zhou Xuan is still organization-oriented, and the inside Jefferson and Bosh block and dismantle to help him get rid of it, and then cut in the air. Zhou Xuan crossed the middle to Bosh for a misplaced jumper. Passing to the inside can force Jefferson to the basket.

Although D'Antoni did not arrange a triangle attack, the three of them played a triangle tactic on their own, which happened to be their favorite position.

It's a pity that Jefferson and Bosh both have relatively average response skills, and they can't accurately divide the ball after attracting defense, otherwise the Knicks' offense is simply flawless, making it impossible to wrap up. As long as there are two scoring points with strong single ability on the court, such as Jordan and Pippen of the Bulls, Kobe Bryant and O'Neal of the Lakers, it will be difficult for the opponent to guard. The fact that the "Zen Master" can become the coach with the most rings does have its merits.

Anthony scored 17 points in a single quarter, and the team scored 3 points in a single quarter, but the Nets only caught up with a 4-point difference. The Knicks lead 6-83.

Zhou Xuan only scored 2 points in a single quarter and handed out 6 assists, and there were more assists than points, 16 in the third quarter.

Van Gundy smiled: "In the past two seasons, Zhou Xuan has broken through sharply and shot resolutely, and I have almost forgotten that he will play like a pure point guard." When he first entered the league, he didn't shoot much, but he won the assist king, just like now, the opportunity is not good, and he will never shoot. โ€

"He's going to shoot more when the team needs him to score, and now with two new strong scorers, maybe he thinks he can win without shooting, and that's true," Johnson said. โ€

Van Gundy said: "I'm curious now, if you play the Heat and the Nets, the Knicks can take a big lead at the whole game, how many points do they have to win against the underdogs? In the past, there were times when the collective hand was abnormal, but now there is Jefferson who can hit the basket, and even if the perimeter feels bad, they can fight with the opponent to attack. โ€

Zhou Xuan's lack of shots is not because he wants to return to the way he played when he was in the Warriors, but because he didn't train systematically in the summer, and he wanted to rely on this way to slowly find his form and ensure efficiency. If he makes 2 shots, he will definitely have a lower shooting percentage than last season. Now that there is someone in the team who can score, he doesn't have to use the way he shoots to get the feeling of the game.

After playing for five seasons, Zhou Xuan knows the opponent's information, characteristics, and weaknesses of the opponent's overall defense, and his assist ability will not decline.

At the beginning of the last quarter, Zhou Xuan was substituted for a break. Sitting on the sidelines, he pondered in his heart: If I have always focused on assists, with my current ability, what can I get per game? Why don't you give it a try?

If you average 15 assists per game, it is very good to set a terrifying all-time record. Last season, Zhou Xuan still felt that it was a bit out of reach to get 14 attacks, but now he feels that he can complete it.

After winning consecutive championships, Zhou Xuan got the thrill of invincibility, and he was confident that he could win anyone.
