The Godfather of Basketball

The derby came to an end, and the players happily returned to the locker room.

However, Kidd was interviewed by reporters at the scene in Madison.

"A big win, this Nets team is different from what everyone imagined, what happened here?" The reporter couldn't help being curious.

"We played more like a team than last season. The performance of the rookies was great. This is a victory for team basketball." Kidd was in a good mood.

"Deron's performance is very good, has he got rid of the injury?" The reporter then asked.

"Yes, he has returned to his previous level. He is the leader." Kidd praised Deron.

"I noticed that the Nets' tactics have changed a lot compared to last season. Is this the key to the Nets' changes?"

"This is part of it." When he said this, Kidd's smile slowed down.

"This tactic is very similar to the previous Rockets' tactic. We all know that Tang Xin became one of the team's owners this season. Did this tactic come from his suggestion?" The reporter continued to ask.

When the reporter said this, Kidd's expression changed rapidly, from joy to impatience.

"Yes, we will continue to maintain this momentum." After saying a wrong answer, Kidd signaled that he was going to leave, and then hurried back to the locker room.

Tang Tian had already turned off the TV after the game, and went to feed the baby with milk powder. He didn't hear the interview in the field.

The team is thriving. As the owner, Tang Tian doesn't pay attention to every game. Compared with that, he needs to consider other things.

When Prokhorov sold 80 percent of the team, the remaining 20 percent went to Brooklyn Forest City owner Bruce Rattle, who also owns 45 percent of the Barclays Center. .

That is to say, if Tang Tian wants to truly turn the Nets into his own team, besides continuing to win the 55% stake in Barclays Center held by Prokhorov, he also needs to win Brook Rattle The two major shares in hand.

Mantou can't be eaten in one bite. Now the Nets have a good momentum, and the Russian and Lat will not be in a hurry to make a move, so during this period, he has done more to improve the relationship with the two.

Talk to Prokhorov about gold investment, and talk about the customs between the two countries.

Talk to Rattle about how to build Brooklyn, how to build this city beyond Midtown Manhattan.

Some small talk, some topics, can always bring the relationship between each other closer.

Just when Tang Tian was busy with these things, after the Nets won the Wizards, they ushered in a wave of devil's schedule.

They need to play against the Thunder, Cavaliers, Clippers and Heat successively.

The Thunder have sparked conflicts between Harden and Westbrook this season. The former's defensive attitude is still not good, and he has been questioned by the latter. Durant and Slime, Stevens has to deal with these relationships, and it is a bit incompetent.

But even so, the Thunder still have absolute suppression in terms of strength. They defeated the Nets 113 to 97 in the away game, ushering in a 3-game winning streak in the season.

The performance of the Nets is not bad, and the loss is entirely due to strength.

Losing to the Thunder, the Nets continued to host the visiting Cavaliers.

The Big Three of the Cavaliers got off to a bad start. The record of 1 win and 2 losses shows that they still need to run in, but the Nets' striker is indeed too weak. Let alone defending James, the interference is very limited.

In the end, under the leadership of James with 38 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists, the Cavaliers beat the Nets 123 to 106 and won their second victory of the season.

The Nets suffered a two-game losing streak.

After two games at home, the Nets flew to Los Angeles to challenge the upstart Clippers.

Kobe and Yao Ming are still on and off this season. Although their pick-and-rolls are beautiful, their inability to play has become the most troublesome problem for them. In this case, Paul, Griffin and Jordan have become the upstarts in Los Angeles." The City of Air Pickups lives up to its name.

Deron, who is good at "eating, sleeping, and playing Paul", ushered in an explosion in this game. The audience scored a season-high 30 points and 9 assists. However, the Nets were blasted inside and they finally lost 98 to 109. Come.

After experiencing 2 wins and 1 loss in the season, they suffered a wave of 3 consecutive losses, and their record came to 2 wins and 4 losses.

However, the management, including Tang Tian, ​​did not criticize them harshly. Instead, they gave some words of encouragement to the coaching staff and players.

The league's schedule doesn't take them seriously at all, they are just treated as supporting roles.

After playing the Clippers, the Nets flew to Miami non-stop to challenge the Heat.

This game was broadcast live across the United States. After a busy week, Tang Tian finally had time to sit down and watch the game.

Although the Heat lost James in the summer, after signing Whiteside, the team's new Big Three performed well. This is not an easy game for the Nets.

The game started, the Heat's offensive was ferocious, Wade and Bosh turned over and over again on the offensive end, and the Nets only relied on Deron to score points with difficulty.

After halftime, the score between the two sides was 58 to 43, and the Heat had already achieved a 15-point lead.

Lopez made 1 of 5 shots, Joe Johnson made 1 of 7 shots, and Bojan Bogdanovic made 0 of 4 shots. You can feel that although you know that you have encountered strong enemies in a row, the morale of the team is still affected a lot.

But the only gratification is Jokic, because Lopez is not in good condition, he got 12 minutes of playing time in the first half, and scored 8 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists on 3 of 4 shots, and his performance on the court became more and more handy.

Back in the second half, Kidd made adjustments to allow Lopez and Joe Johnson to play more low-post singles, and the defensive end also pressed the ball holder.

This had an effect at the beginning. The Nets caught the Heat by surprise, and a wave of 7-2 offensive narrowed the point difference to 10 points.

But slowly, Spoelstra began to make adjustments. The offensive end continued to pass the ball, and the defensive end's small lineup quickly assisted in the rotation. The Heat quickly opened the score again and grabbed the Nets. Due to the slow recovery of the press, the point difference was obviously opened up faster than in the first half.

In the end, the Heat beat the Nets 123 to 96 at home. While winning 3 consecutive victories, they also gave their opponents a 4-game losing streak.

The 27-point difference set a record for the Nets' biggest loss of the season.

Tang Tian frowned slightly after watching the whole match.

The treatment of the Nets as a supporting player in the league caused them to suffer a losing streak, and Kidd gave up the team's hard-won system during the losing streak. This is definitely not a good thing for the team in the long run.

On the second day after the team returned to Brooklyn, Tang Tian went to the arena. He needed to have another chat with Kidd.
