Chapter 579 579 Handsome and able to fight!It's definitely over!
The media who wanted to eat melons and make troubles were disappointed.
Is it still the troublesome Howard who was so tight-knit?
But fortunately, Howard's big mouth still broke some news for them.
"In the new season, Zhou will give you very, very, very big surprises.
At that time, you will understand why I am confident to start looking forward to the championship this season! "
……
The reporters wanted to see Zhou Si's "big, big, big" surprise in Howard's mouth.
But they were disappointed.
In this show for the fans, Zhou Si, in addition to three symbolic dunks, was more of a ball for his teammates.
Among them, Howard is the biggest beneficiary.
As long as Howard and Zhou Si pick and roll, and then roll down, there must be an alley-oop dunk!
According to statistics throughout the game, Howard dunked a total of 14 times and scored a game-high 40 points plus 24 rebounds.
Although it was only a training game, Howard's good competitive state made the Nets management and fans who came to watch the game very satisfied.
In addition to Howard, CJ's state also made the fans shine.
And the three-pointer after the pick-and-roll with David West;
The mid-range after the pick-and-roll with David Lee;
The catch-and-shoot [-]-pointer off a screen...
Although CJ McCollum's organizational ability looks mediocre, his outside shooting ability has reached the top of the league!
Like CJ, Kuzma's performance also made the coaching staff and Nets fans very satisfied.
Kuzma, who is extremely mobile, can fully keep up with the third position. He can not only attack with the ball, but also jump face-to-face, and occasionally bully smaller players when he is misplaced in low positions.
Other than that, his defense is where he and Summer League improved the most.
He looked like a defensive colander in summer league, and while he's not yet at the level of a defensive gate, he's clearly above the league level.
Half of defense depends on talent and half depends on attitude. Kuzma has height and speed, and his wingspan exceeds most players in the NBA. He has great defensive potential.
In addition, in the new season, Kuzma will not have a lot of offensive scenes, so he himself knows that he needs to use more physical strength for defense. With the careful training of Zhou Si and Campbell, this has made such obvious progress!
Prior to this, Campbell and Billups had tested many lineups in the training camp, but everything needs to wait until the actual game test.
And this opportunity will come soon!
On October 10th, they will go to China to start their new season with the China Tournament!
Everything is ready to go!
……
On October 10, the Nets team came to Shenzhen early to prepare for the China game.
It is said to be preparing for the game, but it is actually more about taking the players out.
Although Coach Campbell still only has defense in his mind, he has grown a bit after being in the Trail Blazers for several seasons.
At least, he understands the principle of combining work and rest.
Billups, who was going to suggest that Campbell reduce the intensity of training, also showed a relieved smile.
At the previous intensity, he even suspected that there would be injuries in the team before the preseason was finished!
One piece and one relaxation is the long-term way.
In terms of food, Zhou Si believes that no country can compare to China, and the performance of the teammates of the Nets also proved this point.
Not to mention Kuzma who has never been to China, even veterans such as David Lee, David West, and Carter have tasted authentic Shenzhen-style rice rolls, Jidi porridge, car noodles, and claypot rice. It is also compared to the thumb again and again.
To be honest, it's not that Zhou Si looks down on other countries when it comes to food...
Closer to home, on the 5th, the first China game between the Nets and the Trail Blazers was held in Shenzhen.
To be honest, the fans who saw Zhou Si in the Nets jersey were really not used to it at first.
No way, in four years, the figure of Zhou Si wearing the Blazers No. 1 red and black jersey has been deeply imprinted in their minds.
In the China competition, Zhou Si performed hard as usual. In this game, he played for 30 minutes and took a break after scoring 40 points.
You know, except for the two China games, Zhou Si has no plans to play in other preseason games.
It doesn't matter in the United States. In China, the emotions of the fans must be taken care of!
But although Zhou Si scored 40 points, the Nets still lost.
Although Zhou Si left this summer, the Blazers' system has not been completely dismantled.
And using the players Zhou Si exchanged for, General Manager Olsi used Lopez in exchange for potential small forward Oubre from the rotten Grizzlies.
Lillard, Oladipo, Oubre, Siakam and Jokic.
Although Zhou Si has left, the Trail Blazers lineup still has hope of winning the championship!
Moreover, in addition to the starting lineup, their bench lineup is also very strong. The Nets can be said to have lost to the bench in this game.
Nick Young scored four three-pointers and Meyers Leonard scored three three-pointers.
As for the new aid Oubre... Zhou Si was facing him. At the beginning of the game, he once provoked Zhou Si like a bulldog.
From the point of view of this low-potential forward, he is not a substitute for anyone, he is himself!
And then... no more.
Steals, blocks, and defense can't borrow the ball...
Zhou Si's defensive one-stop service almost failed to prevent Oubre from crying.
Therefore, young people can be arrogant, but they have to do what they can.
Although they lost the game 105 to 124, whether it is the Nets teammates, the coaching staff or the fans, they all rely on confidence.
They have only just gotten in touch, and they will definitely become stronger and stronger in the future.
Except for Zhou Si, Howard's performance in this game was very eye-catching. After giving up the low post and starting all kinds of screens, he seemed to be back to the top, flying all kinds of flying and escaping.
Last season, it was better to have Zhou Si on the inside to protect the frame. This season, Zhou Si left the Trail Blazers' weak ability to protect the inside frame.
The Nets' rookie Kuzma also attracted a lot of attention in this game.
In addition to precise three-pointers, as soon as Zhou Si scores on the court, he will frantically wave the towel. Chinese fans think this little brother is very "comfortable".
The point is, Kuzma is also pretty handsome.
Really handsome and able to fight!
But some people are happy and some are worried.
CJ struggled throughout the game under the defense of Oladipo, who had just won a defensive round. He only scored 6 points in 1 of 4, and 2 of them were free throws.
The sunspots on the Internet immediately made all kinds of cynicism.
"The biggest signing of 2500 million is abolished!"
"That's it? The Nets deserve to lose!"
"That's right, the Blazers don't have frame protection, otherwise Howard would have to be restrained to death!
In just one week, the Nets will definitely finish this season. "
"Brothers, you may have forgotten that there is a 4-for-1 shooting guard Iguodala."
"Haha, the Blazers have assembled two iron guards!
TNT also ranked the Nets fifth in the previous team rankings. They are really blowing their minds! "
"That's right, even the Trail Blazers can't beat, which one of them can beat the Thunder, Spurs, Rockets, Warriors, or Cavaliers?
In the new season, let us watch them continue to rot quietly! "
