As we approach the halfway point of the season, the winning percentages of each team tend to stabilize. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the same time, the free agency market and trade market are gradually becoming hot and hot, and some teams that are ready to show their skills in the playoffs have begun to trade reinforcements, and according to the team's performance in the first half of the season, according to the needs of the market and the team, there is an undercurrent.

On the rumor board, the Warriors also have a number of players involved.

For example, the Frenchman Petrus, who performed well in the first half of the season, the veteran Dale Davies, who has an expired contract, etc., have a lot of teams that come to ask for the price when they have trade value.

The Warriors have three games left in January, one against the Nets, one against the SuperSonics, and one back-to-back game against the Clippers.

The Suns have set off a small-ball storm in the league, and since the beginning of this season, the record has topped the list, and only a few top teams in the league such as the Spurs, Pistons, and Heat can beat the Suns. And at this point, the most painful should be the Dallasians, who gave up a team engine to assist the Suns in Phoenix.

On January 26, the Warriors host the Nets.

The Nets had a poor start to the season, and after a period of glory, the East quickly emerged with top teams such as the Heat and the Pistons. Coupled with teams such as the Celtics and the Chicago Bulls, who have performed well this season, there is a big crisis in the Nets.

So in December of last year, the Nets and the Raptors made a blockbuster trade.

Vince Carter swapped with Alonzo Mourning, Aaron Williams, Eric Williams and two future draft picks to make the switch to the New Jersey Nets.

The combination of Vince Carter plus Jason Kidd and Richard Jefferson has become a post-Nets trident.

Carter had already wanted to leave Canada, and after Chris Bosh played better and better, the Raptors management decided to trade Carter and rebuild around the young Chris Bosh, so Carter traded Carter for some veterans whose contracts expired and two draft picks from the Nets.

And the Nets are also eager to get Carter, such a superstar with high commercial value and strong ability is very much in line with the overall urban positioning of the Nets, and it would be better if they could relocate to New York.

It's just that what I didn't expect was that the Nets' new combination had a particularly long run-in period, and until now they have never found the right way to win, Carter and Kidd have not shown too many chemical reactions, and the team's record is very bad.

So far, the Nets have only 15 wins and 26 losses, ranking in the 10th place in the East, even lower than the Orlando Magic and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

At this time, the Nets were also in a trade vortex, including Kidd and Jefferson. Since the loss of Kenyon Martin in the offseason, there have been rumors that Kidd will leave New Jersey, and such a super point guard in the top three in the league today must have attracted a lot of attention, and the Rockets, Mavericks and even the Knicks have a strong desire to trade.

The Nets, on the other hand, are trying their best to cover up this situation and claim that Kidd is not for sale by the team, and Kidd is very hopeful about the future of the Nets, and the combination of Kidd and Carter will inevitably rise in the East.

In any case, the Nets have fallen into such a situation of internal and external turmoil, with the Nets challenging the Warriors in the West, plus back-to-back, and there are many bad lucks.

Before the game, Zhang Weiping looked at the list of players, "I don't know what kind of way the Nets use to limit Yang Di, without Kenyon Martin, the Nets' interior tactical flexibility has dropped several notches...... Oh, and they chose Nenad Kostic, a center forward from Serbia. ”

"It's a big center forward of 2.13m and weighs 109 kilograms."

Yang Jian smiled: "I think the Nets' arrangement is a bit risky. Nenad Kostic is just a rookie who has just entered the league this year, although he retains the usual delicate style of play and fierce and unafraid of confrontation style in Eastern Europe, but it may be difficult to gain the upper hand against Yang Di, who can grab 15.1 rebounds per game. ”

"It's also very likely a signal from the Nets. Huo, maybe the Nets are really not ready to attack on the inside, and just rely on the outside to drive the whole team. Zhang Weiping continued, "The Nets lost to the Kings by 20 points 93-113 in Sacramento yesterday, and the Kings inside Brad Miller slashed 32 points and 12 rebounds to penetrate the Nets' interior, and if the Nets didn't pay attention to the Warriors' interior, this game would have become very difficult." ”

"The Warriors' interior offense is far better than people think."

"I was mainly confused by Yang Di's excellent defense, thinking that Yang Di and Murphy were only good at grabbing boards and blocking to assist in defense, but they didn't realize that in fact, these two people have their own way of attacking inside."

"The key is that the outside line of the Warriors is not weak now, Richardson and Dunleavy can shoot well, and if the Nets are not careful, it is really possible to be beaten by others, and the players will play."

The two chatted and commented in a relaxed way, and the players from both sides entered the stadium.

Nets starters: PG Kidd, SG Vince Carter, SF Rodney Buford, PF Brian Slakabryan, C Nenard Kostic.

Jefferson failed to play due to injury, and the Nets except for Kidd and Vince Carter are all little-known young players, and compared with the Warriors, the strength of the lineup is still a little different.

Yang Di faced Kostic, and the Serb did not smile and stood in front of him to jump the ball.

Yang Di smiled at Kostic and made the Serb laugh creepy.

He leaped lightly and easily tapped the ball away as Kostic looked up.

Fisher dribbled to the frontcourt, Kidd defended him, the league's No. 1 defensive player, Fisher didn't dare to have a heads-up or other ideas, and scored the ball to the side and gave Richardson the ball.

Richardson faced Vince Carter and trembled with excitement.

Two generations of dunk kings, both crowned with the title of league dunk, 28-year-old Carter is 4 years older than Richardson, both are in the prime of their basketball careers

Richardson held the ball with three threats, faced Carter's close defense, stepped out with his right foot to the left, and tentatively stepped forward.

He exploded violently, took a step to the right with his right foot, and the speed was amazing.

"So fast!" Carter was taken aback, he hadn't fought Richardson for a long time, and he didn't expect this guy to grow to this point!

Carter's defense was not strong, Richardson broke through and had the advantage of his body, and after the second step, he directly passed Carter cleanly and rushed straight to the basket.

Brian let Murphy defend, faced Richardson, and jumped high.

The red-headed short Brian Slakabryan is a second-round pick in '01, with mediocre talent, although Richardson is a guard, he jumps up and is obviously taller than him in the air, plus he is a side defense, and he can't touch it at all.

Richardson's right hand stretched out diagonally, and his body was like a tomahawk in the air, and he completed the dunk with a "clang".

"Beautiful!" Zhang Weiping and Yang Jian shouted at the same time, and the opening warrior was such a morale-boosting goal, which made everyone's eyes light up and their spirits uplifted.
