Chapter 34: Face and Choose
The Nets' starting lineup for this game is Kidd, Corey Kidders, Van Horne, Martin and Todd Marcolocchi.
Neither Collins nor Jefferson is on the roster right now, or the Nets don't trust the abilities of either right now.
This lineup shows that the current Nets are playing very conservatively, not the kind of team that will be commonly known as bombardment in the future, but a positional team based on positional warfare and counterattack warfare, which is Kidd's strong strength.
The average height of this lineup of the Nets is very high, don't underestimate any player in the Nets, Kidders was the main guard of the Nets for many years when he was a rookie, averaging 14 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists per game.
Van Horn is also known as the template of the 'Bird' forward, although the last beautiful fairy tale was broken, but now he is still a very strong projection forward, in the hands of Kidd has become a player who averages about 14 points per game.
Needless to say, Kidd and Martin are the solid backing of the Nets, because they usually rely on them for offense and defense.
Saying that the current Nets are weak is compared with teams like the Spurs, Lakers, and Kings, and if you face other teams, who dares to say that the Nets are weak?
Kidd is very great, but great people also need strong teammates, otherwise how could Kidd not make it to the Finals for many years and enter the Finals for two consecutive years? What's more, in the first year of the finals, the relationship with Jefferson, who was still in his rookie period, was really not big.
Gong Feng is of course very familiar with the Nets, who used to play the Nets, either the opponent was back-to-back, or there were players with injuries, and most of the players were not in shape...... To say this is to show that the Nets did not take the Wizards in their eyes at the time, even if the Wizards were the first in the East at that time.
But now it's different, more than halfway through the schedule, the Wizards can still maintain the first place in the East for so long, which shows that the Wizards now have the strength to cause difficulties and even threats to the Nets, which Kidd does not allow to happen.
It's as if the hearts of the Wizards are starting to get big, and the Nets' minds are certainly getting big this season.
Kwame is not in good shape today, the jump ball lost to Martin, as a powerful defensive player, Martin's bounce, strength has always been at the forefront of the league, of course, such Martin will only defend a pity.
But Martin, who has Kidd's support, is not only able to defend, as Kidd's most important partner in the main lineup, Kidd needs Martin's speed and strength, and these things can be used by Kidd.
This is the strength of traditional defenders, the top 'traditional' defenders can magnify the strengths of the team they are very familiar with, make the weaknesses smaller, bring out the strength of all the players, and use the strengths of all the players for their own use.
Gong Feng felt how crazy Kidd was at the beginning of the game, and at the beginning of the game, Kidd began to play Gong Feng alone, and his three-point shots were extremely resolute, and the defense was even more active from the beginning when Gong Feng did not touch the ball.
For the first time, Gong Feng felt like a boat under a storm, and it was very likely to be quickly swallowed up by the rainstorm, although Gong Feng had experienced this feeling a lot before, but Gong Feng had not felt this way for a long time, and this was the longest thing he had encountered as a core player.
There is no doubt that Kidd now has regarded Bow Peak as the core.
After being a little caught off guard at first...... Gong Feng is happy, this is the first time in the NBA that someone attaches so much importance to himself, and the first time that a top star in the league attaches importance to his strength on the court.
didn't want to give Gong Feng any face, didn't have the heart to teach Gong Feng a lesson, and didn't underestimate Gong Feng's complexion and physical fitness...... This is the first top player to really take the bow peak seriously.
If he was off the court, Gong Feng might have said something to Kidd, but on the court, Gong Feng was still used to talking with basketball.
Because Gong Feng's first friend a long time ago was basketball.
didn't call Kwamei to come up to block and dismantle, but after making a gesture, Gong Feng began to hold the ball to break through Kidd's defense, not wanting to win the competition by his own breakthrough, but Gong Feng needed space to pass and attack.
Leitner took his defender away, Jordan and Kwame blocked and dismantled, they have quickly moved to the basket, and after receiving the basketball, Jordan immediately made a quick layup, and in terms of movement ability, Jordan is now much stronger than Van Horn.
"Shouldn't it? This kind of ball should be passed to Hamilton, who is already empty on the outside, don't you see that Kidders is already behind Jordan? When was the Bow Peak pass so risky? "This is the opinion of one of Gong Feng's college teammates when watching the game, now is the busiest time in the NCAA, and now he still cares about Gong Feng's game when he is about to enter Crazy March, it seems that the personal relationship between the two must be 'good'.
"You're wrong! Gong Feng already wants to implement this idea, but when his teammates become you and Battier, he doesn't need to take such risks, just like the current Wizards team, Jordan, Hamilton play the role of you and Battier, and there are offensive strengths on the inside, and defensive fulcrums, such as Brand back then, and now you, Boozer, Gong Feng can integrate very well with the current Wizards, and it has a lot to do with his experience in the NCAA! ”
Coach K said to his players while looking at the current attack of Gong Feng, "But after this goal, it has changed, maybe it has changed in the last game, but I didn't see it, he still took this step, and he walked so fast, so without thinking!" ”
"What road? Could it be that the future of Gongfeng is more than that? ”
"Are you still angry that he has the ball instead of you? Jay, if you can't get rid of the competitive and desperate attitude you have now, your road is not as wide as his! ”
"Forget it, didn't you stay at the university for a year just to prove that the Blue Devils could win without him? Why don't you want to prove it now? ”
"I don't have the heart to challenge in the NCAA, and it's time to make way for the younger students in the future!"
"I knew you would do this, and only a bigger stage can make you grow faster, Jay, I wish you to go further on the road of challenges!"
"Thank you, coach, it's just that I don't understand the change that the coach said, I don't know if you can explain it in detail, coach!"
……
"I didn't expect that there would be people in the alliance who could take this path! I thought I was already a swan song, but I was surprised that Jason Williams had given up and that anyone would dare to take this path! ”
"Gong Feng? What a surprise to me, I just don't know how far you can go! It's not an easy road to follow, but Jordan, why are you calling me? Just because of this pass let me know, I found my passer? Think I should give this young man more advice? ”
"Shit, are you really used to being a teacher? Why don't you go to teach Kobe? Teach Carter? Do you really think that the way of a superstar can be taught by others? Now that this young man has come here, it's impossible for me to make any changes because of my words, do I have to tell him that you should play more aggressively on the pitch? Keeping people's eyes on you? ”
"If I do, it's strange that you don't break up with me...... Although he is indeed a good seedling, he has not even formed a system of offense, and it is a little early to learn from me, not to mention that your opponent is Kidd, who I think is the best defensive point guard? Seeing you go down this path, I don't believe Kidd didn't react! ”
"The number one position in the league! How many people will want to think in their hearts, even if they are not the No. 1 player in the league, it will be extremely crazy, because this means that they are the No. 1 point guard in the world! ”
"Kidd, Nash, Kevin are actually on the same team, how crazy was the Suns' selection back then?"
"What's even more interesting is that Nash and Kidd both played at their own level!"
"But if it weren't for Nelson Sr.'s discernment, what would Nash be like now...... Oh, Jordan, sorry it didn't work out as you wanted! With that, he turned off the TV and leisurely did something else.
