Chapter 620: Alliance Supporting Characters (3/4!) )
The derby came to an end, and the players happily went back to the dressing room.
However, Kidd was left behind for an interview by reporters on the scene in Madison.
"A big win, this Nets team is not what everyone imagined, what the hell is going on here?" The reporter couldn't help but be curious when he opened his mouth.
"We played more as a team than we did last season, the rookies were doing really well, and it was a team basketball win." Kidd was in a good mood.
'DeLong is doing quite well, has he gotten rid of his injury?' The reporter then asked.
"Yes, he's back to where he used to be, he's the leader." Kidd was full of praise for Delon.
"I've noticed that the Nets' tactics have changed a lot from last season, is that the key to the change in the Nets?"
"That's part of it." Kidd's smile softened as he said this.
"This tactic is very similar to the previous tactics of the Rockets, we all know that Tang became one of the owners of the team in the new season, is this tactic from his suggestion?" The reporter continued to ask.
When the reporter said this, Kidd's face changed very quickly, from joy to impatience.
"Yes, we'll keep the momentum going." After a repudiation, Kidd motioned for himself to leave, and hurried back to the locker room.
Tang Tian had turned off the TV after the game and went to feed the milk powder with the child, but he didn't hear the interview in the venue.
The team is thriving, and Tang Tian, as the owner, doesn't pay attention to the game one by one, and he needs to think about other things more than that.
Prokhorov sold 80 percent of the team's shares, and the remaining 20 percent went to Brooklyn Forest City owner Bruce Rattle, who also owns 45 percent of the Barclays Center.
In other words, if Tang Tian wants to really turn the Nets into his own team, he needs to continue to take 55% of the shares of Barclays Center in Prokhorov's hands, and also take these two major shares in the hands of Brooke Rattle.
Steamed buns can't be eaten in one bite, and now the Nets have a good momentum, and the Russians and Rattle will not rush to make a move, so during this period, he did more to improve the relationship with the two.
Talk to Prokhorov about gold investment, and then talk about the customs between the two countries.
Talk to Rattle about building Brooklyn and building the city beyond Central Manhattan.
Some small talk, some topics, can always bring each other closer.
Just when Tang Tian was busy with these things, the Nets ushered in a wave of devilish schedules after winning the Wizards.
They need to play the Thunder, Cavaliers, Clippers and Heat.
The Thunder this season Harden and Westbrook contradictions stimulated, the former defensive attitude is still not good, was questioned by the latter, Durant and mud, Stevens has to deal with these relationships, some of the doppelgangers are lacking.
But even so, the Thunder still have absolute suppressive power in terms of strength, and they defeated the Nets 113-97 on the road, ushering in a third straight win of the season.
The Nets' performance was not bad, and the loss was entirely based on strength.
Losing to the Thunder, the Nets continue to host the visiting Cavaliers.
The Cavaliers' Big Three got off to a bad start, and their 1-2 record shows that they still need to run in, but the Nets' front line is indeed too weak, let alone defending James, even the interference is limited.
In the end, the Cavaliers, led by James with 38 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, defeated the Nets 123-106 to take their second win of the season.
The Nets, on the other hand, suffered a two-game losing streak.
After two games at home, the Nets flew to Los Angeles to take on the upstart Clippers.
Kobe Bryant and Yao Ming are still stopping and stopping this season, although the two are picturesque, but not being able to play has become the problem that bothers them the most, in this case, Paul, Griffin and Jordan Jr. have become the upstarts of Los Angeles, and the "empty city" lives up to its name.
Delon who is good at "eating, sleeping, and playing Paul" ushered in an explosion in this game, hitting a season-high 30 points and 9 assists, but the Nets were blown up inside, and they finally lost 98-109.
After a season of 2 wins and 1 losses, they suffered a wave of three straight defeats and their record came to 2 wins and 4 losses.
However, the management, including Tang Tian, did not criticize him, but gave some encouraging words to the coaching staff and players.
The league doesn't take them seriously at all, they are just treated as supporting roles.
After playing the Clippers, the Nets flew to Miami non-stop to challenge the Heat.
The game was broadcast live across the United States, and Tang Tian finally had time to sit down and watch the game after a busy week.
Although the Heat lost James in the summer, the team's new Big Three after signing Whiteside did well, and it was not an easy game for the Nets.
When the game started, the Heat offense was ferocious, Wade and Bosh turned over on the offensive end, and the Nets just relied on Deron to score points.
At halftime, the score was 58-43, and the Heat had taken a 15-point lead.
Lopes shot 1 out of 5, Joe Johnson shot 1 out of 7, Bojan Bogdanovic shot 0 out of 4, and you could feel it, although you know that it is a continuous encounter with strong opponents, but the team's morale is still affected a lot.
However, the only consolation is Jokic, because Lopez is not in good shape, he got 12 minutes of playing time in the first half, 8 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists on 3-of-4 shooting, and his performance on the court is becoming more and more comfortable.
Coming back in the second half, Kidd made adjustments, allowing Lopes and Joe Johnson to play more in the low post and press the ball carrier on the defensive end.
That paid off at first, as the Nets caught the Heat off guard, with a 7-2 offensive run to cut the deficit to 10 points.
But slowly, Spoelstra began to make adjustments, continuous passing of the ball on the offensive end, and rapid defensive rotation of small lineups on the defensive end, the Heat quickly reopened the score, and seized the Nets' slow pressing and recovery characteristics, and the point difference opened up significantly faster than in the first half.
In the end, the Heat beat the Nets 123-96 at home, winning three consecutive victories while also sending the opponent a wave of four consecutive defeats.
The 27-point margin was also the largest loss for the Nets this season.
Tang Tian frowned slightly after watching the entire game.
The Nets' treatment as a supporting role in the league has left them on a losing streak, and Kidd has abandoned the system that the team has worked so hard to build, which is certainly not a positive sign for the team in the long run.
On the second day of the team's return to Brooklyn, Don went to the arena where he needed to talk to Kidd again.
