Chapter Eighty-Nine: Breaking the Net and Slaughtering the Cow

On May 21, 2017, the Nets lost 100-114 again, and the real gap between the scores was even greater.

The Wizards' rhythm is unshakable, and even Kidd, the master of the court, can't help it.

The Wizards have too many organizational points, and the team's patience and cooperation are gradually becoming perfect, although Kidd scored 20 points, 10 rebounds and 16 assists, but he still feels like the Wizards are pressing on the whole game like a wall, and he can't resist at all.

In this case, the Nets returned home with a 0:2 score in the series.

On May 23, in East Rutherford, New Jersey, the Nets' home stadium is located here.

It's a seaside city, and the stadium is less than a kilometre from the sea. It's also just a river away from New York and 7 miles from Manhattan.

The Nets chose this location simply because the market in New York is too big, just like the season when New York is out early, many people drive to East Rutherford City to watch the Nets play.

Of course, there may be more viewers who come to see the Wizards, and the name Ewing alone is worthy of the madness of the people of New York.

Ewing clearly noticed this, and the audience holding Ewing signs in the audience almost overwhelmed the Nets fans and Jordan fans.

In the Big Apple, Ewing is their king and legend, especially at a time when New York is rotten and useless at the moment. Fans are even more nostalgic for the New York Knicks of the Ewing era, when they were the powerhouses of the East.

Throughout the game, Ewing was obviously playing with emotion, and his frequent requests for the ball were not like his usual ones, nor did he conform to Hu Qingniu's strategy, in Hu Qingniu's lineup, Ewing was the last barrier on the inside. Ewing's defense is not particularly outstanding, but both top defense and help defense are above the average level, which is worthy of Hu Qingniu's trust.

Ewing's temper is known to other teammates, and the taciturn but emotionally charged iron man, this time he saw so many New York fans come to support him, and he is probably also moved.

Teammates came to fruition, and the Wizards' offense turned into Ewing's individual performance. This has deviated from Hu Qingniu's established tactical strategy, but people can be ruthless, and in the case of a big lead in the series, Hu Qingniu has the confidence to let Ewing show his strength.

The Nets' interior is a weakness, Collins is a humanoid stake, and the team's defense is useless.

After the change, the relatively short Kenyon Martin was even less of an opponent, and was eaten alive by Ewing.

After two games of adaptation, the Wizards' response strategy has been very flexible, the Nets played one big and four small, and let Jordan strangle Kidd, Martin's blocking quality was too poor to stop Jordan at all.

If they play at the center of the day, the Wizards will change their strategy and no longer pinch Kidd, but balance the defense and use the whole to beat the Nets.

In the case of focusing on Ewing offense, the Wizards still stabilized the situation on the court, which proves that the overall strength of the Wizards is more than one level higher than that of the Nets.

After Mutombo left the 76ers, he aged very quickly, so this season he was completely abandoned by Scott and became an auspicious baby. In order to resist Ewing's attack, Scott reluctantly sent Uncle Mu on the field again, and he couldn't rely on the stake of Collins.

After this game, the Nets finally despaired, as if they were playing against an opponent who could never win. Because the Wizards are too perfect, at least in the eyes of the Nets, there is nothing they can do to expose the Wizards' weaknesses.

Kidd and Scott's Nets lost again, this time at home, and the opponent seemed to win more easily.

In the post-match press conference, Kidd and Scott were reluctant to say more, and such opponents did not arouse the slightest interest in talking about the game just now.

In the next fourth game, the Nets almost gave up, and the whole team lost in a mess.

NBA stars are also people, although their psychological quality is very good compared to ordinary people, but there will also be times when they can't figure it out and give up.

Some games are played so inexplicably, such as the Heat in the G5 of the 14 Finals, facing the Spurs who shot 79% in the first quarter, all the Heat players were a little blindsided, even LeBron James began to be impatient, began to sit in his seat and lost his temper, and the fourth quarter was not played at all, and he gave up directly.

This is the Finals, this is a superstar like LeBron James who is known for being a perfect leader, and the tipping point of a person's psychological endurance is limited.

From top to bottom, the Nets are already desperate for the game.

The Wizards entered the Finals as absolute kings, and the media began to preach.

"It's the best team ever!" 》

"12-0, they can definitely break the record of the 01 Lakers!" 》

"Interview with Jordan, defending the title of the strongest player in history!" 》

It wasn't until this point that people realized that this Wizards was so terrifying. Although the former Lakers team also won 12 consecutive games in the first three rounds, the Lakers team has never done it with such ease and comfort as the Wizards, and even beat the opponent in the division finals to the point of losing confidence.

What's even more terrifying is that the Wizards are capable of everyone on their own, with multiple superstars who may step up and take over the game at any point, and they don't compete with each other for power like Kobe and O'Neal, the Wizards are a team that integrates very well.

Finally, they also have a magical coach who can arrange corresponding tactics according to the characteristics of the opponent before the game, and the on-the-spot command is a miracle. And such a coach is also one of the few miracle doctors in the world.

Such a team has not been discovered by everyone until today, and his invincible posture in front of everyone makes people wonder if there really is a team between the Spurs and the Mavericks who can compete with it.

---

The game between the Spurs and the Mavericks was extremely tangled from the first game.

In the face of the most powerful forward, Nowitzki put together a respectable statistic of 31 points, 35 points, 40 points, 33 points in order to prove that he is not a soft ass and to achieve enough glory in a foreign country.

But Duncan said that this was not enough, 34 points, 24 rebounds, 24 points and 20 rebounds, 23 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists, and the most powerful forward defended his title with actual combat.

Nowitzki has won when it comes to scoring ability, and he is slightly better on points per game, but when it comes to the overall impact of the team's game, Duncan is more than one step ahead of him.

Duncan, who sits in the center position, plays a dominance that is not inferior to the big shark O'Neal, and General Robinson only needs to shout and cheer on the sidelines.

With a 2-4 record, Nowitzki had his most successful season in the league, and Duncan had a season at the peak of his ability.

If anyone can snipe the Wizards team built by Hu Qingniu this season, it's the master-apprentice duo of Popovich and Duncan.
