NBA: Back to 97, to be the Jagged Bishop

Durant's successive blossoms also stimulated Ray Allen and Sun Yue.

Ray Allen knows that he will definitely not be the boss of the Nets. In terms of seniority, there must be Garnett above him. He entered the league earlier than him.

Also in the same class was Ben, who was also a rookie in 96, but Ben was an undrafted pick and Ray Allen was a lottery pick.

Therefore, Ray Allen knows his team's status very well and will not try to be the boss of this team.

But if you can't be the boss, you must at least be the absolute core of the outside line. This is Ray Allen's bottom line. He doesn't want his upcoming first championship to be just a dispensable veteran.

Seeing that Durant has blossomed, Ray Allen has also begun to attack desperately. Tonight, all the Nets players have good touch and good shooting percentage. As long as they take more shots, they can score good points.

Sun Yue saw Durant scoring points too easily, thinking that before the game, Kongbu pulled him to the corner and clearly told himself that he must shoot more three-pointers. This was his only way out.

Durant shot three-pointers and scored so easily that Sun Yue mustered up the courage and started shooting too.

After all, it was bound to a three-point calibration device, and the three-point attribute was frighteningly high. He made several three-pointers every time he shot.

Not to mention Gasol, he has top-notch passing ability. When he stands outside the three-point line, he can not only shoot by himself, but when the opponent comes to double-team, he can also distribute the ball to the open space. opponent.

They led by 11 points in the first half of the game, and even led by more points in the second half. After the first quarter, the Knicks were already 25 points behind.

Even Kongbu was confused. He didn't expect the Knicks to sink to this point.

The Knicks fans at the scene couldn't stand it even more. They caught the Knicks players on the court and yelled at them no matter how unpleasant it sounded.

Regardless of whether it is Ou, McGrady or James, they have all played in the league for many years, and they all have their own shortcomings. Knicks fans went crazy and exposed their shortcomings, and Kongbu couldn't stand listening anymore.

45:20, this was the score played by both sides in the first quarter.

The reason why the point difference can reach this level is that on the one hand, the Nets' offensive efficiency is so amazing. In just twelve minutes of the first quarter, they actually shot a total of 20 three-pointers.

What is this concept? The 30 teams in the league only take 17 three-pointers per game on average. The Nets shoot more three-pointers in one quarter than others in the entire game.

Not only did he shoot a lot of three-pointers, his shooting percentage was also extremely high, 20 out of 9 as high as 45%!

The Knicks, on the other hand, were unable to reasonably allocate the ball, and their offensive rhythm was stuck. The more they played, the more constipated they became. Especially Ou's lack of physical fitness, which was even more fatal. As a result, the Knicks only scored 20 points in a single quarter.

In the first half of the second quarter, Combs changed the starting lineup again, with Ben, Garnett, Thaddeus Young, Artest, and Rondo.

Mainly a defensive invincible!
Artest said he was playing the second position, but in fact he has been responsible for guarding James.

Maybe he felt that his team's status was no longer guaranteed. After all, with Durant, he couldn't even play in the starting lineup, so Artest defended extremely hard on the court.

It can't even be said that he was working hard. He was really risking his life. He made huge moves and looked like he was going to risk his life with James.

James is also helpless. What can he do with Artest?Have a fight with him?Too cheap.

Ignoring Artest's words, the opponent became even more enthusiastic, talking trash and making small moves without stopping.

Thaddeus Young is said to be a combo forward, but in fact his job on the court is to guard McGrady, and his defensive effect is quite good.

The offensive ability of this lineup is very poor. There are only one and a half stable offensive points. One is Garnett and half is Thaddeus Young. Big Ben and Rondo have no offensive ability. Artest's offense has a The season started to become more and more unstable, and he gradually became a blue-collar outsider.

The offense is poor but the defense is extremely strong, so strong that the Knicks collapsed.

The system sent by Kongbu only played half a quarter and 6 minutes. The Nets only scored 6 points in 13 minutes, while the Knicks only scored 6 points.

When the Knicks had just adapted to this incredible intensity of defense, Combo immediately began to change his formation again, once again using a three-point system with one large and four small, giving up the intensity of defense and turning to crazy offense.

At the end of the first half, Knicks coach Doc Rivers looked at the score with tears in his eyes.

The first quarter was 45:20 and the second quarter was 34:18!

The score was 79:38 in the first half. The Knicks' score was less than half of the Nets' score, and they were beaten by a 41-point deficit in the first quarter.

Rivers knew that the Knicks' combat effectiveness was declining this season, but he never expected that the Knicks would decline like this, with a 40+ point difference at halftime. How would they play in the next games?Why do you have the face to hit me?
It's okay to say that the Knicks are having a bad season. The key is that the Knicks' salary this season is still 1.1 million US dollars!
During the halftime break, players from both teams returned to the locker rooms.

Not long after Kombu entered the locker room, he heard Rivers calling him outside.

"What's wrong, Doug?"

Combe asked curiously.

Rivers no longer had the time to care about Doug or Doc, and said with a grimace: "Kong, can you not be so cruel?"

"Shaq and Tracy are your disciples after all. You don't want to put them on a pillar of shame, do you?"

"According to your style of play, it is absolutely possible for the score difference to exceed [-] points tonight."

Kongbu shook his head, "Doug, Tracy is my disciple, but Shaq is not my disciple no matter what. He is even older than me!"

"You have to have confidence in yourself. Back then you were able to reach the playoffs with a group of draft picks. Now with the Knicks' lineup, I don't believe you can't turn the situation around."

After saying that, Kongbu left.

Rivers is going to cry and turn the situation around?What can you do to turn the situation around?A fat man who expects to run three steps and rest two steps?Or is McGrady counting on God and ghosts?

What he is actually worried about is that Ao Pang and McGrady will be put on the pillar of shame. What he is really afraid of is that he will be fired.

If Kongbu is given an [-]-point score tonight, Rivers' only fate is to pack up and get out. Even if Dolan wants to protect him, the angry Knicks fans will never let him go.

After the halftime break, Kongbu led the Nets back to the court.

Many Knicks fans at the scene had already left the venue. Even though the Knicks tickets were extremely expensive, there were still many fans who would rather waste their tickets than witness their home team being brutalized.

Rivers' plea just now was still effective. Combs is not the kind of hard-hearted person. He also knows that if the score difference tonight is too outrageous, it may have a bad impact on McGrady.

So at the beginning of the second half, Kongbu simply let some water go and did not kill the Knicks.

After the game ended, the point difference between the two sides remained at 45 points. In the second half, the Knicks trailed by only four points.

Rivers breathed a sigh of relief. Although the score difference was still disappointing, at least it was within fifty points, and it was not unacceptable to grit his teeth.

During the handshake after the game, O'Brien skipped Gasol.

Tonight he was disgusted by Gasol. That means Gasol doesn't understand China's Internet culture, otherwise he would have roared: "The center is standing outside the three-point line, and his parents are watching from the sky with tears in his eyes."When he arrived at Kongbu, Aopang couldn't help but complain, "Kong, where did you find such a weird center?"

"What are his statistics tonight? 17 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists? He scored 4 three-pointers. Are you sure he is a center?"

"I'm not kidding, he is the most wretched center I have ever seen, bar none!"

Kongbu laughed and glanced at Gasol's childish face. It seemed that it had nothing to do with being vulgar, but Gasol's playing style was indeed a bit vulgar in the eyes of traditional centers.

With this style of play, the Grizzlies he played for in the small ball era have been called the last traditional team.

"Be careful what you say. After all, we are two brothers playing together in the NBA. If you offend one, you offend both. Be careful that the two brothers will join forces to deal with you in the future."

Combe laughed.

Aopang started to compete, "Are they two brothers as tall as each other? I'll knock one of them away with one punch."

"Tonight's game was so ugly. It was so ugly that I even wanted to flee New York. This team really has no future and is worthy of being a graveyard for players."

Kongbu rolled his eyes and ran away from the Knicks?No other team is willing to give you an annual salary of more than 2000 million. If you can stay with the Knicks, just have fun.

The Nets beat the Knicks in the opening game. Such a point difference made fans wonder whether to praise the Nets for being too strong or saying that the Knicks were too weak.

Among the Nets players who played tonight, in addition to Ben, Rondo and Artest, even Thaddeus Young scored in double figures.

加内特拿下了19分13篮板4助攻5盖帽3抢断，得分不多，但是其他良性数据非常耀眼。

Gasol had 17 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists. His data completely failed to reflect how disgusting he was on the court.

Durant scored 31 points and made 6 three-pointers by himself.

Ray Allen scored 28 points, and he also hit 6 three-pointers.

Sun Yuedu scored 12 points. He took a total of 9 three-pointers and hit 4, scoring exactly 12 points.

His job on the court tonight is very simple, which is to control the ball to the frontcourt in the offensive round, either by using Gasol's pick-and-roll to shoot a three-pointer, or by passing it to his teammates.

It's a point guard, but not a point guard.

In any case, the data of 12 points, 1 rebound and 5 assists cannot be said to be bad for a second-round pick who came off the bench in his debut.

Kongbu also knew that this was not considered Sun Yue’s true strength. Without the three-point calibration device, Sun Yue would probably make a fool of himself in his debut tonight.

But as long as the three-point calibration device can always be bound to Sun Yue, then this is his strength.

After beating the Knicks, the season continues. In the following schedule, the Nets truly demonstrate what it means to be an invincible team.

Durant and Gasol stunned other teams in the league.

It's okay to say that Durant is the No. [-] pick after all, so he should be strong. After all, he is the player Kongbu exchanged for Roy. Today's Durant may not be as good as Roy in terms of overall strength.

What is really shocking is Gasol. His data is not impressive, especially the rebound data, which can even be said to be ridiculous for a center.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see how terrifying this white center's role is on the court. Whether he plays with Garnett or with Ben, his role is huge, and his win shares even rank first in the Nets.

Ray Allen's combat power has been maintained very well. He can still easily average 20+ per game and maintain a 40% three-point shooting rate from outside.

At the beginning of this season, because Combs sold Roy and Millsap, many fans felt that the Nets' combat effectiveness in the new season might decline significantly.

After all, during the playoffs, these two made great contributions to the Nets.

But less than a month after the start of the new season, fans suddenly discovered that the Nets' combat effectiveness has weakened. Not only is it not weak, but it has become stronger.

As the schedule progresses, the Nets' dominance becomes stronger and stronger, because Gasol and Durant are still growing and improving, and even Thaddeus Young's growth is astonishing. fear.

The regular season schedule came to an end soon. Under the leadership of Kongbu, the Nets achieved the second undefeated regular season record in NBA history.

And this time is very different. When I was with the Bobcats, even if they were undefeated in the regular season, they would lose in the playoffs.

The Nets were also very strong in the playoffs, and they faced the Knicks in the first round of the playoffs.

The Knicks actually became the goalkeeper in the Eastern Conference playoffs this year, and they only had an eighth-best record in the Eastern Conference.

Facing the Nets, the Knicks had no chance of parrying and were swept cleanly.

In the second round of the playoffs, the Nets faced the Bobcats.

In the 06 draft, Jordan messed up one after another. In the 07 draft, Jordan simply didn't select any players, allowing him to escape the disaster.

While maintaining the core lineup of Chris Paul plus Bosh, no matter how weak the Bobcats are, they can't get any weaker.

However, Gortat, the hammer at center, is still less interesting than other top centers. In the end, the Bobcats were swept by the Nets.

The other Eastern Conference semifinals pitted the Cavaliers against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Iverson faced off against his former club, and this matchup attracted a lot of attention.

It's a pity that Howard really failed to live up to expectations and turned into a weakling when facing Yao Ming.

During the regular season, he averaged 22 points, 14 rebounds and 3.5 blocks per game. However, in the Eastern Conference semifinals, he only averaged 13 points and 11 rebounds per game. He went directly from a super giant center to a level worse than Gortat.

Iverson fought hard, but in the end he only won one game against the Philadelphia 76ers, avoiding the bad luck of having his head shaved.

Since then, the opponent in the Eastern Conference Finals has been announced, and it is still the Nets versus the Philadelphia 76ers.

Last season, the two teams were inseparable. This season, as the Nets' lineup gradually improves, the Philadelphia 76ers are no longer a match for the Nets.

The Philadelphia 76ers definitely have an advantage inside, but this advantage cannot make up for their outside disadvantage.

After a whole season of growth, Durant has become a real god of death. In the four games against the Philadelphia 76ers, he even averaged 36 points per game.

Even if he scores high, his shooting percentage is extremely high, averaging 54% per game, and his three-point shooting percentage has reached an astonishing 46%. This offensive efficiency will be inferior even if Jordan comes.

The Philadelphia 76ers were also swept, and the Nets reached the Finals again. (End of chapter)
