Chapter 889 Invincible Popularity

The Nets are still very ambitious this season, and their goal is the championship.

The boss Prokhov doesn't know much about basketball. He feels that he invested so much money to buy a top point guard Deron, a top small forward Anthony and a top center Dayao. This summer he bought Joe Johnson and won a championship. Divide it?

In fact, the Nets' lineup can be seen at a glance. There is no chemical reaction between the players, and Dayao's body is almost exhausted.

Prokhov even threatened to form an NBA Galaxy Battleship, just like Real Madrid.

His first goal is to buy Chen Yan.

This statement was ridiculed by New York fans. The Knicks are not short of money at all and cannot sell Chen Yan. Moreover, the buying and selling of players in the NBA is different from that in football. It is more about transactions between players and not relying on players to cash out. Even if the Knicks Si wanted to sell Chen Yan, but the Nets couldn't afford the bargaining chips. If they had to force it together, they would have to give away at least half of the team, which would make it impossible to form a so-called Galaxy Battleship.

The Nets' problem has not changed in recent years, with players incompatible with each other.

Anthony can only play in isolations with the ball, and is extremely lazy on the defensive end. Joe Johnson is also a player who is good at isolations.

Deron is only suitable for playing pick-and-roll, but he has a strong character and always wants to prove that he is a master in singles.

When a team has three singles players, that team is definitely not going to go far.

Deron's statistics continue to decline this season, averaging only 17 points and 7.5 assists per game. He has been working hard in the past few years to prove that he is not a system player. After his unremitting efforts, he finally successfully proved that he is an out-and-out system player. Player, without Sloan's pick-and-roll system, he can only be regarded as an upper-middle-level point guard, and it is difficult to make the All-Star.

However, Deron is still high-spirited. Not only is he dissatisfied with Anthony's status as the boss of the team, he also always feels that he is a defender at the same level as Chen Yan.

Every time the two faced off, Deron worked hard to prove himself, and the results were always without exception.

This time, Deron came to the court three hours early to warm up.

Before the game even started, the Nets suffered a critical blow from Chen Yan.

When Chen Yan appeared on the stage, the cheers overwhelmed everyone.

Anthony couldn't help but look up to confirm whether this was his home court.

Chen Yan's popularity covers the entire state of New York, and Brooklyn is naturally a fan of him. Half of the people who bought tickets tonight came to Chen Yan.

Chen Yan committed murder and blew a kiss directly into the stands, making him look like the owner of Brooklyn.

The starting lineups for both sides appeared quickly.

New York Knicks: Curry, Chen Yan, Battier, David West, DeAndre Jordan.

Nets starting lineup: Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, Anthony, Reggie Evans, Lopez.

Tonight's commentator Kevin Harlan smiled and said: "Reggie, predict the outcome tonight. This is a much-anticipated derby in the same city."

Reggie Miller said with a smile: "Although I know I will offend local fans by saying this, I still have to say that I am more optimistic about the Knicks."

"Is it because they also have two sharpshooters like you?" Kevin Harlan laughed.

"It has nothing to do with this. It's mainly the strength and competitive state shown by the Knicks that made me choose them." Reggie Miller laughed.

Reggie Miller added after saying: "I think it will be difficult for any team to defeat the Knicks from the front this year. Their players are in perfect condition and their lineup is also very reasonable."

After the coaches of both sides briefly arranged the game with tactical boards, the main players came on stage.

Anthony and Deron looked very serious, while Curry and DeAndre Jordan did a little dance before going on the court, acting very relaxed.

The game officially begins.

The Knicks attacked first, and they played a traditional tactic. David West took the ball high and his teammates ran from both sides.

David West held the ball and observed it for a while, but there was no good opportunity. The Nets followed people very closely at the beginning.

David West dropped the ball directly in the next second and rushed in himself.

"Oh! David West thinks he is James!" Zhang Lili sighed.

Director Xu smiled and said: "The effect is not bad, I rushed into the penalty area in one shot."

In the penalty area, David West collected the ball.

Reggie Evans did not lose his defensive position. David West was not easy to take action. At this time, Curry ran out of the gap.

Chen Yan and Curry are not only two three-point masters, but also two running masters. At the same time, both of them have very good physical strength.

When the two of them continue to cross each other, their teammates will really have a headache.

Curry didn't take a shot, and Deron followed from the side.

Curry chose to safely give it to DeAndre Jordan inside.

After Jordan got the ball, he decided to show off.

After pushing Lopez a little, he shot with a hook.

Three no-sticks.

Lopez is a human shield player. After Jordan beat him, he lost his focus.

The basketball went straight out of the line, and Jordan lowered his head and returned to the defensive half. The atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Director Xu opened his mouth to rescue Jordan: "The game has just started, and Jordan may not be in the state yet."

Zhang Lijia complained directly: "Jordan really thinks of himself as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. He is not that kind of offensive player. This ball should not be shot."

Nets offensive possession.

Deron slowly dribbled the ball across half court, and Anthony and his teammates cooperated without the ball.

Anthony first ran into the paint, stayed in the crowd for a while and then suddenly pulled to the free throw line.

Lopez helped him block Battier.

The moment he caught the ball, Anthony took a decisive shot from mid-range.

The basketball bounced off the back edge.

0:2.

Anthony used his signature jump shot to give the Nets the lead.

Anthony came up and hit the ball, indicating that he felt good tonight, which is what fans on both sides want to see.

This means there will be something exciting to watch tonight.

In the Knicks' offensive round, they also cooperated without the ball. Chen Yan used the screen to catch the ball from outside the three-point line.

However, Chen Yan did not take action immediately after receiving the ball.

Reggie Evans switched defense to fill in.

Chen Yan wanted to play small but was about to break through when the Nets double-teamed him.

Chen Yan quickly distributed the ball and found David West.

David West easily hit a high jumper.

2:2.

Playing in the Knicks, David West's shooting range is getting farther and farther. If one day he pulls out and shoots three-pointers, Chen Yan will not be surprised.
