The league has been controversial about Kirilenko's move to the Nets. After all, the league explicitly prohibits the emergence of "yin-yang contracts", and the last time the Timberwolves engaged in yin-yang contracts were investigated, everyone has not forgotten how badly they were rectified.

Although the Russian tyrant boss and Kirilenko are compatriots, the salary cut of $7 million is still too exaggerated.

But in any case, at least for now, there is no evidence that Kirilenko signed a "yin-yang contract" with the Nets. Therefore, Kirilenko's joining is fully justified.

And he and Terry are Kidd's two most terrifying weapons in the rotation lineup!

After returning from the pause, Kidd was already confident. But of course, after seeing Antetokounmpo also step onto the court, the elder Kidd instantly became nervous again.

"Janis. Antetokounmpo, Coach Henson brought this likable lad up again. Obviously, Coach Henson brought him up just to play against Kirilenko! Barkley rubbed his hands, Henson was really a master who liked to prescribe the right medicine.

"Damn!" Kidd scolded secretly, he sent Kirilenko up, mainly to make him and Yi Jianlian oppose.

He believes that Yi Jianlian will become helpless against the more mobile Kirilenko. Well, now Henson has brought on a player who is taller and more mobile than Kirilenko. The advantage that Kidd longed for in the No. 4 position turned out to be a disadvantage!

As for Terry...... Look at Stephenson and Jimmy. Butler's two fierce and vicious backcourts, "Jets" may not have good fruit to eat today.

"Now that the Nets are 10 points behind, the performances of Kirilenko and Terry will directly determine the fate of the Nets in this game. If the Nets can't close the score before the end of the first quarter, then it's completely out of Henson's hands. ”

At this time, the ball on the court is the undrafted player Alan who has been adrift for many years. Anderson, who averaged 10.7 points per game with the Raptors last season. So, the Nets' bench players have a very good book lineup. But the first few games of the regular season have proven that the Nets' rotation roster is actually not too strong.

Anderson, like Stephenson, is not a pure point guard. So the Nets' offense wasn't fluid, and just after halftime, Allan . Anderson experienced how powerful the Pacers' pressing on the defensive end was.

"Come on, what are you waiting for? Come attack me, come break through me! How? Do you still want to be a supporting character in a bunch of old men!? "Stephenson didn't let Alain go. Anderson, he spewed trash talk while sticking to the other party.

Last season, even LeBron. James couldn't stand Stephenson's mouth, let alone Alain. Anderson is a role player.

Anderson didn't, or rather didn't dare to entangle with Stephenson. He passed the ball to Terry, but Jimmy. Butler's defense was just as tough to deal with.

Under Butler's tough close pressing, Terry Sr. couldn't even control the ball, let alone shooting.

The "jet" did not dare to stick to the ball, so it passed to Kirilenko. The audience immediately burst into violent cheers, and the Nets' tens of millions of substitutes are about to start to exert their might!

Kirilenko is still experienced and showed a couple of triple moves after holding the ball. But "AK47" was surprised to find that when Antetokounmpo opened his arms, he seemed to be facing a high wall!

At one time, Kirilenko himself was a typical figure in the No. 3 position with height and arm length, and many times he played the right position as easily as the wrong one. He is not as mobile as him, and he is not as mobile as he is, and those who are taller than him cannot keep up with him.

And the one in front of Kirilenko is taller and faster than him!

Seeing that Antetokounmpo was unmoved in the face of his triple threat, "AK47" decided to force a breakthrough along the bottom line!

Ordinary big man who can't keep up with Kirilenko by two steps. But Antetokounmpo's reaction was very fast, and he didn't even leave half of his body for Kirilenko!

"Andre underestimated Antetokounmpo so much, he was cornered."

"AK47" had barely run two steps before he was forced to stop. At this time, he is in front of Antetokounmpo, and on the side is the bottom line that will go out of bounds if he steps out. In desperation, Kirilenko was forced to stop the ball in a very awkward position!

"Stopped! Kirilenko actually stopped the ball in such a deadly position! ”

After stopping the ball, Kirilenko couldn't even find a teammate to pass the ball. Antetokounmpo's body and long arms completely blocked the view of the Russians!

Henson smiled, what tens of millions of substitutes, are New York fans and Kim. Terry was just lustful himself. For comparison, Antetokounmpo's annual salary is only 2.15 million. A basketball court is not a shopping mall, and it is not the case that the more expensive the player, the better it is.

Under Antetokounmpo's pressing, the referee blew the whistle without waiting for Kirilenko to pass the ball. The reason is simple, Kirilenko walked on his own in the press.

The rotation lineup made mistakes as soon as it came up, and the Nets' morale hit rock bottom.

But soon, the Pacers plunged the Nets into a deeper layer of despair. Stephenson was pretending to be an organization on the outside, but Henson could tell that the guy's gestures didn't represent anything at all.

It's right here in Alan. Anderson thought Stephenson was going to pass the ball, but he suddenly changed hands under his crotch to accelerate the breakthrough. Alan. Anderson's defense was like paper, easily stabbed.

Seeing this, Kirilenko, who played the No. 4 position, immediately rushed to the basket. Don't forget, the Russians averaged a staggering 1.5 blocks per game last season! For a player who plays on the perimeter, it's incredible to average 1.5 blocks per game.

The Russians were about to give this "comic guard" a little color to look at the sky-high thickness, only to find that Stephenson suddenly threw the ball into the air at random!

The reason why Kirilenko dares to make such a bold defense is precisely because his arm span is enough for him to steal or interfere with this kind of pass, and he is not afraid of his own position being empty. Don't forget, in addition to 1.5 blocks, AK47 also had 1.2 steals last season. He is a veritable all-round fighter.

But this goal, Stephenson threw high and far, and Kirilenko couldn't reach it at all. It stands to reason that even the ball that he can't reach can't reach is not accessible to an ordinary No. 3 player.

But behind Kirilenko, the terrible "Greek monster" was stunned to receive this basketball that was destined to go out of bounds in the air, and then pressed it into the frame!

The bounce, the power, and the stretch of the body made Antetokounmpo's dunk perfect! Beautiful offense and defense, Antetokounmpo makes "AK47" look dull!

"Terrible aerial relays, that's why Coach Henson asked Stephenson to play the number one position. You never know what's going on in this guy's head, like no one could have guessed that he would pass such an outrageous air relay. But this outrageous passing was just right for Antetokounmpo! ”

"It's so beautiful!" Not to mention Barkley, even Becky. Harmon shook his fist in excitement. After all, in the WNBA, this kind of scene is very, very rare.

Henson is now fully using Antetokounmpo as a "jumping man", although he doesn't position Antetokounmpo as a sporty four. But I have to admit that Antetokounmpo is really capable of doing a good job in the athletic No. 4 position.

The big risk after a hundred steps through Yang, the difficult cake dunk, etc., Antetokounmpo can do it. Moreover, he is more physically fit than most athletic No.4s.

For example, in the arm span area, it was enough for Griffin to go back and cry for a few days and nights.

In both rounds, on both offensive and defensive ends, Antetokounmpo ate Kirilenko to death. At this time, the Nets not only did not close the score, but also widened the gap to 12 points.

Stephenson excitedly high-fived Antetokounmpo, young and energetic, and the Pacers exemplified these qualities in this game.

Antetokounmpo's dunk seemed to open a valve that allowed the Pacers' offense to begin pouring out like a flood. Once the valve is opened, it is not easy to close.

After 20 seconds, Jimmy. Butler made Terry feel the ruthlessness of the years. I saw that the little guard who looked a little like Jordan forced to overtake with speed, and then under the basket against the Nets backup center Andre. Blatche forced a layup.

In the ensuing round, Alain. Anderson took advantage of the cover to break through Stephenson and was about to make a layup. But just as he was about to make a move, Antetokounmpo didn't know when he jumped out and gave Anderson a "heavenly justice" from behind, and splitting his head and covering his face was a chase.

Stephenson received a long pass directly from the backcourt after receiving the basketball, and it was only then that people found out that Danny. Green didn't know when he had run past halftime!

The guard, who tied the record for the most three-pointers made in a single game in the Finals last season, did not hesitate, and suddenly stopped outside the three-point line to chase down the three-pointers!

Henson doesn't support players shooting three-pointers on the fast break, but only two people have the privilege of shooting three-pointers. One is Ray. Aaron, the other, is none other than Green!

That fear of a game getting out of control crept over Kidd, and as a point guard, he knew exactly how much damage it could do to the team if the pace of the game got out of control.

For example, now......

"Brush!" Green chased down a three-point shot, and although Green's starting position this season was given to Leonard, Green's brilliance still couldn't be overshadowed off the bench.

Even Ray. Allen has voluntarily said that he has withdrawn the requirement to play at least 20 minutes per game.

"Leave the opportunity to that kid." Before the start of the season, Ray. Aaron said to Henson.

If Green isn't good enough and doesn't work hard enough, he definitely won't be able to impress Ray. Aaron's.

Three-pointers into the net, which means the Pacers have a 15-point lead over the Nets before the first quarter of the game is over. At this point, Billy. Kim was expressionless because he didn't know how he was going to deal with the media later.

The Chinese-American coach ruthlessly tore off the last fig leaf of the "Big Five", and after continuing to suppress the Nets in the first game, he defeated the so-called tens of millions of substitutes with a bunch of players on child labor contracts.

Can you win the championship by throwing money at it? Henson has undoubtedly taught Nets owners a lesson. Never, don't think of basketball so simply!
