v2 Chapter 636: East 8th (three / four!)

The second half of the season is a relatively easy period for the top or bottom teams. The teams that have made steady progress in the playoffs and even the upper half have begun to rotate appropriately, and have already decided Bad teams, in addition to training newcomers, have even begun to investigate hot rookies.

But for the Nets playoff edge teams, this is the real start of their challenge.

After determining the playoff lineup, the Nets ushered in a honeymoon. They successively dropped the Pacers, Jazz, Magic and the Sun, and ushered in a 4-game winning streak. The record was once more than the Celtics and the male Deer, came to the sixth position in the east.

But then, their opponents began to study Jokic. In the game, opponents with similar body speed were used to entangle him, preventing him from playing easily, and even realizing that he didn't feel good in the game, directly hanging him on three points. It doesn't matter outside the line.

Without the threat of shooting and passing, Jokic also struggled.

5, 12 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 turnovers.

1 of 7 shots, 3 points, 11 rebounds and 1 assist.

...

Jokic ran into his rookie wall.

As the core of tactics, he played this kind of performance, the Nets' record also lost more or less, once dropped out of the playoffs team.

Fortunately, there is Tang Tian, ​​he sequentially induced Jokic, and helped him out of the rookie wall.

Facing a close defense, look for teammates to help with the transition ball; feel bad, and often look for singles opportunities in the low post; encounter a double-team in the interior, and the ball is released in advance.

For the rookie, getting out of this wall is not a one-time event. He needs a process, but fortunately Jokic is highly talented and has no obvious technical shortcomings. After passing the help of his teammates and his own efforts, he was slow Come out slowly.

And through this period of training, his three-pointer and low back play skills are getting better.

Good things come in pairs.

The Nets gradually returned to normal. After McGrady returned to His Majesty Tang Tian, ​​his back injury gradually recovered, and his competitive status improved a little. Although it has not yet reached the requirements of the game, it should not take too long.

Tang Tian also used this last time to start enriching the team's tactical system.

Team basketball and star singles are the offensive tactics of this Nets team, while wireless defense is a defensive tactic.

Tang Tian also began to try to use the big four, small and small lineups in certain periods, allowing Yi Jianlian to swing to the fifth position and let Joe Johnson appear more in the fourth position.

Joe Johnson is getting slower and slower, and he is getting heavier. He can't keep up with his opponent at the 2nd position, but is at the 4th position. He has an advantage in speed against him who is not weak in tonnage.

Not to mention Yi Jianlian, after he returned to Tang Tian, ​​his system upgrading ability was restored, coupled with the growth in recent years, it has become a truly weakened version of Garnett, with fast movement speed, no fear of confrontation, and stable projection. Perfect fit for the upcoming era of small balls.

As time went by, the stability of the Nets team gradually improved. In the last few games of the regular season, Tang Tian also made McGrady feel on the court.

The Clippers are third with 56 wins and 26 losses. This is the first full season of the Big Three. They have done a good job, but to get out of the West between the Warriors and Thunder, they need to be in the season. Get better performance in the playoffs.

Ranked fourth and fifth are the Trail Blazers and Grizzlies. Although the Youth Army and the Black and White Bears are still far from winning the championship, their strength is not to be underestimated.

Because the Spurs lost to the Pelicans in the last game, they only lost one game less than the Clippers. They fell to sixth in the West. Although the defending champions are in the lower half, the lineup has not changed much, and their strength remains. Strong, they even have the opportunity to replicate the 94-95 season Rockets' magical defending journey.

The Lakers and Mavericks are ranked seven or eight, and their record is 50 wins.

The Timberwolves rushed into the top eight in the West under the leadership of Butler, but Butler was absent from injury for more than a month after the All-Star game.

The Nets' final record is 41 wins and 41 losses, just set at a 50% win rate, ranking eighth in the east.

Although the final record is somewhat different from Tang Tian's expectations, Kidd's lead in the early stage is really bad. With a series of changes such as Joe Johnson's downturn and Jokic's encounter with the rookie wall, he can finally advance to the season The playoffs have been considered a success.

The Celtics' final record of 38 wins and 44 losses, they are ninth in the east, impacting the playoffs defeat.

The Heat's record is the same as the Celtics, and Wade and Bosh's injuries have made them finally ranked 10th in the East.
