At the beginning of the death entanglement, Curry followed me to slam dunk

Chapter 53 Nets’ offensive
On December 12, the game between the Warriors and the New Jersey Nets officially started.

Since the team has suffered a four-game losing streak before, the Warriors urgently need to sweep away the decline and regain their confidence.

Therefore, even if the opponent is the weak Nets, the whole team still has the spirit of scoring twelve points and dare not slack off in the slightest.

And the opponent in this game, the New Jersey Nets, can be said to have gone downhill in recent seasons and never looked back.

After the team's "troika" Jason Kidd, Vince Carter and Richard Jefferson left the team one after another, the Nets' record went from bad to worse.

By this season, the team's lineup is even weaker. Whether it is immediate combat power or talent, this Nets team can be said to be the bottom of the league.

Since the start of the game, the team has not surprisingly ushered in a crazy 18-game losing streak.

The team's coaches have also changed because of their poor record, from Lawrence Frank at the beginning, to interim coach Tom Barris, and now to the current general manager and coach Kiki van der Weghe.

It can be said that frequent changes of coaches have also caused turmoil within the team.

And the power forward Ah Lian, who has attracted the attention of Huaguo fans, sprained his right knee in the game against the Bobcats in early November and has not yet returned.

This also brought to naught the Yidu war that the majority of Huaguo fans had been looking forward to.

This also led to the Nets with a record of 2 wins and 19 losses. The starting lineup sent in this game made fans feel a little strange.

Except for the All-Star substitute, combo guard "Pluto" Devin Harris and the No. 08 pick in 10--center Brook Lopez is of good standard, the other players are all mediocre and have failed to play anything in their careers Famous.

The starting shooting guard is Courtney Lee, a second-year rookie who will be known to fans for his precise three-pointers in the future.

But throughout his career, he has always wandered between various teams as a role player, and has never won any personal honors worth mentioning.

The two elder brothers on the front line are even more unknown.

Chris Douglas Roberts, who appeared at the small forward position, was the No. 40 pick in the second round last year.

As Derek Rose's backcourt partner in college, his resume in the NBA is obviously not as dazzling as his partner Rose. He has played 222 games in his career and averaged 7 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist per game. So unremarkable, and he disappeared from the league after 6 seasons.

Another power forward, Josh Boone, was the No. 1 pick in the first round, but his career in the NBA was shorter than that of Roberts. He averaged 23 points and 5 rebounds per game, and he only stayed in the NBA for four seasons. In the subsequent CBA gold rush trip, this old man's performance was also a bit disappointing.

The data of 15 points and 11 rebounds per game can be said to be quite good if it is a local player from Huaguo.

But for the CBA, which requires foreign aid to take the lead, this kind of data is obviously not enough to look at.

After a short season, Josh Boone was abandoned by the CBA team.

But even against a starting lineup like the Nets, the Warriors struggled in the first quarter.

It may be that the team's momentum was sluggish after the four-game losing streak, and the Warriors were beaten and retreated at the beginning of the game.

Monta Ellis didn't seem to be able to find the direction of the basket at all, and his offense after attack all ended in iron strikes.

Then it fell into a vicious circle where the more missed shots, the more the team fell behind, the more anxious the team was, the more anxious the more missed shots.

Ellis became more and more impatient, and wanted to recover the score. Under the eagerness, he played more and more chaotically. Not only did he miss shots, but he even made more mistakes.

6 of 0 shots, 2 points and 3 turnovers. Based on Ellis's opening performance, there is no problem at all in awarding him the Nets' best sixth man.

Under the ebb and flow, the Nets gradually widened the point difference. With about 1 minute left in the first quarter, they led by nearly 27 points with a score of 18:10.

I originally wanted to abuse a dish, but after a long time, I am the dish?This score is obviously unacceptable to the whole team.

And old Nelson didn't expect that the team would be so strenuous to play against the bottom of the league. Although he made some tactical adjustments in the middle, it still couldn't change the state of the team's inability to score and defense.

After all, tactical command on the basketball court is important, but in the final analysis it still depends on the performance of the players. If the players are not strong or in poor condition, no matter how sophisticated the tactics are, they are nothing but castles in the air.

On the other side, Vandeweghe couldn't help being a little complacent after seeing such a fantastic opening.

Because in the last game, the Nets had just defeated the Eastern rivals the Chicago Bulls.

This also allowed Van der Weghe to lead the team to an astonishing 2 wins and 1 loss. Compared with the two predecessors who caused the 18-game losing streak at the beginning, Van der Weghe felt that he still had two brushes.

And with the momentum of victory in the last game, the Nets played really well in the opening game today, which made him even more confident.

Could it be that I am a coaching genius who was delayed by the position of general manager?Do I really have the ability to turn decay into magic?Vandeweghe suddenly felt that picking up the pointer seemed to be a good choice.

Seeing that the third victory after taking over was within easy reach, Vandeweghe involuntarily stood up, and his face was a little more confident in berating Fang Qiu.

And because Du Zhe's reputation in China is getting bigger and bigger, even though the Yi-Du battle cannot be realized, this match, as his first comeback match, has received a lot of attention.

Today's game was naturally broadcast by major platforms.

The two commentators who were broadcasting the game couldn't help but become anxious as they saw the margin of victory gradually widening.

"Change Du Zhe... What are you waiting for if you don't change Du Zhe? This old Nelson doesn't know how to play ball!" Director Zhang was very dissatisfied with Du Zhe who had been sitting on the bench and couldn't play, and even complained to the Warriors coaching staff. There were also some complaints.

Although Director Zhang liked Kobe better before, Du Zhe and Kobe still had a little unpleasantness a few games ago.

But for Director Zhang, in the current situation where Dayao is reimbursed and Ah Lian is also injured and unable to play, Du Zhe is the only spark left for Huaguo in the NBA, and it can even be said to carry the hope of Huaguo basketball.

In his opinion, Du Zhe's performance is indeed competitive. Although he is still on a basic salary contract, his position in the Warriors team is becoming more and more stable, and he is playing more and more playing time.

It can only be said that Director Zhang still has a preference for his own children.

On the other side, Director Yu made a relatively calm analysis: "The Warriors have to change their formation. If they continue to play like this, they will really be upset by the Nets. If they lose to the Nets, it may also affect the mentality of the players. .”

Indeed, when a team gets used to failure, the players' desire to win and self-motivation will be affected to varying degrees. The current Warriors really need a victory to sweep away the decline and change this sluggish state.

Of course, the Nets on the opposite side may think so too.

Warriors coach Nelson naturally knew this, so he could only call another timeout, make timely adjustments, and replace Du Zhe on the court to increase the defensive intensity.

After being suspended for five games, Du Zhe not only fully recovered his physical fitness, but also held back a lot of energy in his heart, wanting to release it.

When watching the battle off the court, he planned to attack with all his strength as soon as he entered the court, so as to activate his microwave skills as soon as possible.

After just observing for a long time, he couldn't even choose a target for stealing skills.

There is no way, the players in this Nets team are really limited, and the skills mastered by most of them are not very impressive compared with players in the same position.

As for the unique skills... don't even think about it.

Is it "Pluto" Harris?Or choose someone else?
Du Zhe struggled for a while. Although Harris is one of the few players in the Nets with decent strength, his strength is mainly reflected in his physical fitness.

For example, Harris' explosive power and speed are at the top level in the league, but this kind of physical ability cannot be imitated by Du Zhe.

However, Harris' ability to break through and layup is quite good. Unfortunately, Du Zhe's dribbling is too tight for his hips. If he were to dribble for a breakthrough, he would probably not reach the layup step, and the ball would have been lost.

In the end, after hesitating for a long time, Du Zhe had no choice but to take the lead and imitate Courtney Lee's strong three-point shooting skills, which could be regarded as strengthening his three-point shooting ability.

"Du Zhe is on the stage! Let's see if the adjustments made by the Warriors can have any effect." Seeing Du Zhe enter the battle, the tone of the two commentators became excited.

The voice here has not finished yet, Du Zhe has already ran out of an open space over there, and after receiving the pass from Curry, he shook his hand and scored a three-pointer.

Chris Douglas Roberts, who was marking Duzhe, didn't even have time to react, and the three-pointer went straight to the Nets. This was the Warriors' first three-pointer of the game.

This goal made all the players on the Warriors team feel excited, and they gradually gained some confidence in their hearts.

In the next round, "Pluto" Harris wanted to force Ellis for a layup. At the critical moment, Du Zhe came from the tail again, forcing Harris, who had just started, to score the ball.

Is it useful just to divide the ball?Even if Harris can successfully distribute the ball, Roberts, who was emptied by Du Zhe, only made [-]% of his three-pointers last season. With this kind of shooting, how sure is the Nets that they can make the ball?

What's more, if you can distribute the ball, you have to ask Du Zhetong first.

Harris had just shot the ball, and saw a pair of long arms that seemed to have anticipated his movement, and directly broke the ball he passed.

Next, counterattack and fast break entered the rhythm that the Warriors are best at.

Du Zhe pushed the ball forward, then passed the ball to Curry, and the two made a simple two-on-one cooperation.

Courtney Lee, who returned to defense, lost sight of one and lost another. With all his attention attracted by Curry, he was killed by Du Zhe from a diagonal stab and completed an unpretentious slam dunk on his head.

After all, with his physique here, this kind of fast break dunk without defense is not too difficult for Du Zhe.

The two commentators originally thought that Du Zhe would need to play a few rounds to get used to the rhythm of the game after a five-game truce, but they didn't expect him to play such a explosive performance at the beginning.

"Du Zhe dunked! The point difference is only 4 points. This opening attack and defense is simply a blow to reduce dimensionality!" Even Director Yu, who has always been calm, couldn't help shouting excitedly.

At this time, the time left on the court is only enough to serve the ball. After the Nets hit the iron with a super long three-pointer in the backcourt, the first quarter has come to an end.

At 23:27, Du Zhe's debut changed the situation on the court, and now the Warriors are only 4 points behind.

Because all this happened so suddenly, the coaches of the two teams obviously haven't reacted much yet.

For the Warriors, Old Nelson did exactly what the two commentators thought. He sent Du Zhe to the field at the end of the first quarter, just to let Du Zhe, who had been out of battle for a long time, warm up and get a feeling.

But... this kid is warming up, why did he just chase the point difference back?
Let me warm you up, you have to fuck the other person directly, right?
Du Zhe once again surprised the old Nelson, he now found that Du Zhe is not only easy to use, but also a plug-and-play player.

It's just that Nelson is relieved, but Nets coach Kiki Vandeweghe on the other side is going to be in trouble.

What happened?Didn't we still hold a nearly double-digit lead just now?How could he be chased to only four points in the blink of an eye?
Kiki van der Weghe, who was a little stunned by Du Zhe's blitz, had nothing to do. He could only comfort his players not to panic, and they would definitely win the game today if they held their ground.

What else could he do?He, Vandeweghe, is the general manager, and his task is to lead the team to win the top pick.

You want to ask how to play tactics?Sorry, please ask the teaching assistant.

Between the ups and downs, Vandeweghe felt that it would be better to continue to be the general manager in the future.

However, Vandeweghe's chicken soup obviously won't work. Although the team is still in the lead, the Nets will be dejected one by one on the bench, as if the defeat is already set.

This is the result of losing all the time, and the players' spirits are almost lost.

Now the Nets are in a mess when they encounter headwinds, and they don't know how to play.

On the contrary, it was the Warriors who were lagging behind. Everyone on the bench was full of energy, and they were all engrossed in listening to the old Nelson's tactics.

And Ellis even took the initiative to hand a glass of Gatorade to Du Zhe who was off.

Although Du Zhe only played for one minute and was not thirsty at all, he still took the water glass and expressed his gratitude to Ellis.

Du Zhe was not surprised by the opponent's initiative.

After all, Ellis made 6 of 0 shots, 2 points and 3 turnovers. No matter how you look at it, you must bear the big pot for the lag in the first quarter.

If Du Zhe hadn't stood up on both ends of the offense and defense in the last minute, allowing the Warriors to narrow the point difference, otherwise Ellis would definitely not be able to escape the old Nelson's scolding.

Of course, since the score has almost caught up, old Nelson will naturally not delve into the matter of who is to blame. What the Warriors have to do now is to unite as one to overtake the score in the second quarter.
