When the Nets attack, the two insiders provide cover for their outside teammates. The Wizards' 122 zone defense positions them without marking anyone, strictly preventing breakthroughs and interfering with shooting at the nearest location. Kidd's jump shot went wide due to Wesley's interference, and the rebound was grabbed by Jordan.

The scariest thing about the old hooligan is his comprehensiveness. At his age, he doesn't suffer at all from rebounding against blue-collar workers.

In his playoff career, he averaged 33.4 points, 6.4 rebounds, 5.7 assists, 2.1 steals, and 0.9 blocks per game. This was the data he obtained on the premise that he liked fast breaks when he was young and did not like to grab backcourt rebounds. If Jordan liked to grab rebounds, he would not have averaged only 8 rebounds per game in a single season in his career.

In the Wizards position battle, Boozer started the pick-and-roll. After receiving the ball, he organized the ball in the middle and passed it to Maggette again.

Maggette, who received the mismatch opportunity, feinted the ball, changed direction to the left, passed Williams in one step, and drove to the basket.

Williams is considered the fastest among power forwards and can keep up with Marshall, but Maggette is a powerful swingman, and his speed is even faster than that of a small forward. It is difficult for the inside to keep up with him.

Martin retreated from the middle to cover the defense, but Boozer was still a step too late to let go. Maggette dunked the basketball with his left hand and scored. 4 to 0.

When the Nets attacked, Kidd broke through and was double-teamed, passing the ball to Williams. The latter caught the ball from the baseline and took a step to Martin on the left, making a mistake.

Jordan correctly judged Williams' passing route, rushed to the basket and successfully stole the ball. He jumped out of the baseline and saved the ball. Hamilton caught the ball and held it in his arms, waiting for Wesley to respond and stabilize his position.

Williams's cut to the basket was blocked by Boozer. At this time, his choice was very easy to judge. He could only pass the ball to the other side inside or outside. The chance of individual singles was very low.

The weakness of the blue-collar appearance began to appear. Williams was unable to open up space and covered on the outside. He only blocked but did not dismantle.

As long as Williams is far away from the basket, Wizards players will directly leave him open to double-team Kidd or Kittles to prevent them from taking easy shots. Jordan and Maggette retreated quickly and were more mobile than most inside players.

The Wizards attack, Boozer receives the ball in the middle and protects it, observing the movements of his teammates. The person defending Maggette becomes Martin.

Maggette caught the ball and failed to break through, so he took a step to Hamilton, who passed the ball to Jordan, who turned 60 degrees on the right to get the ball.

Jordan took the ball without pausing, turned to the center and passed it to the basket. Boozer made an air cut, received the ball with his back, turned to the right and entered the basket, holding the ball with both hands.

Williams suffers from weight loss,

Afraid that he would try hard, he quickly jumped up to block the shot.

Boozer shook Williams up, took a step forward, and threw against the opponent's right hand. Williams was pushed away and the foul was not stopped. Boozer scored on the board, the referee blew the whistle, and the foul was 2+1.

Nets home fans booed in unison to interfere with the free throws, but Boozer remained unmoved and made the extra free throw. 7 to 0.

The Nets attacked. Kidd attracted the defense and passed the low post on the left. Martin singled out Jordan and forced a turn to throw the ball in. 7 to 2.

The Wizards' offense was still the same old routine, with Boozer and Wesley picking and rolling. Wesley took it to the right and failed to get rid of Kidd, and passed the ball to Jordan from close range.

Jordan took the ball and turned around, relying on Jackson to pass the ball lightly to the basket with one hand. As long as he could bring out a little passing space, it was enough.

Boozer made a deep cut and received the ball under the basket. Williams turned to the left, attracting Martin to retreat to cover. He paused slightly with the ball in both hands, and took advantage of the situation to separate the perimeter.

The speed of a player's progress has a lot to do with the environment he is in. Boozer has learned a lot from Laettner, Marshall, and Jordan on the team. Now he can not only attack hard, but also break double teams.

Maggette was free, Kittles followed Hamilton and ran far away, and it was too late to make up the defense. Maggette chose a more confident position to take the shot, and hit a 70-degree mid-range shot from the left side. 9 to 2.

Smith shouted: "Boozer sent another assist. He played very well today. He has obvious advantages at the basket and is very powerful."

Barkley smiled: "Jerry Young can always pick up treasures in the draft. Boozer fell to the second round and is seriously underestimated. Williams can't guard him alone."

Smith nodded: "I think Scott should replace Williams now. He can't guard Boozer or Maggette. He is an obvious weakness."

The Nets' offense is still the same as before, with Kidd organizing, giving signals to his teammates, choosing tactics, and organizing passes.

Jackson ran without the ball and received a pass from Kidd. He faced Hamilton and made a three-pointer. The ball went wide again. His play was too simple.

In Yang Rui's previous life, from entering the league to retiring, Jackson's offense was never stable. He could easily score 30+ points in a certain game, or he could hit the ground running throughout the game, shooting less than 30% from the field and not scoring 10 points. His shooting percentage was around 40% every season, but only 37.4% in his second season with the Knicks.

Boozer blocked Martin, and Jordan once again got the backcourt rebound. Williams had the height advantage, but was blocked by Jordan and couldn't jump up.

Williams is a bit impatient. He averaged 18 minutes per game in the playoffs and scored 4.6 rebounds, including 1.7 offensive rebounds. Now his best skill cannot match Jordan.

In fact, this is normal. Williams has always been a dispensable presence in the league. In Yang Rui's previous life, he changed 10 teams in his career and was only suitable as a substitute.

In the Wizards position battle, Wesley and Boozer played a pick-and-roll, Martin defended Boozer again, and Williams defended Maggette.

Martin was too concerned about Boozer's air cut and failed to switch defenders in time. Wesley changed direction to the right to escape. He made an emergency stop inside the three-point line and shot a jump shot. He avoided Kidd's pursuit and blocked the shot, and the ball missed the basket. basket.

Before Martin could breathe a sigh of relief, he saw Jordan rush to the basket, compete with Jackson for the offensive rebound, and put the ball out of the penalty area. Martin dropped back to grab the rebound, but the ball went away from him.

Boozer took a step forward from the free throw line and picked up an offensive rebound. He feinted with the ball in both hands, and Martin flew up.

Boozer's fake action was very realistic, and his follow-up actions were also very smooth. He took a step sideways to avoid Martin, took another step to the basket, jumped up and dunked the ball with one hand! 11 to 2.

The opponent launched a strong attack, but Scott did not call a timeout or make substitutions, allowing the players to adjust on the court.

Scott is a coach who doesn't like to call timeouts very much. On the court, Kidd is in charge of directing.

Usually Kidd can stabilize the situation, but now this lineup is obviously unstoppable. If a timeout is not called in time, not only the score may be further behind, but also morale will be affected.

Scott has the advantage of being eclectic in training newcomers. In Yang Rui's previous life, he brought out Martin, Jefferson, and Jason Collins; during the Hornets period, Paul's substitute Darren Collison also played Not bad; while with the Lakers, Scott tapped into the potential of second-round pick Clarkson.

But in terms of arranging tactics, Scott is undoubtedly an overrated coach. He is often slow to call timeouts, has poor adaptability on the spot, and has rigid tactics.

For this reason, in Yang Rui's previous life, even though he led the Nets to the Finals twice, he still had many conflicts with Kidd. In terms of tactics, Kidd often disagrees with Scott. In terms of adaptability, Kidd is better than Scott as a player.

As a result, Scott was fired by the team midway through the 2003-2004 season. Kidd was interviewed and believed that Scott was not as good as Nets assistant Lawrence Frank.

Now, another weakness of the Nets has also emerged, that is, the gap in head coaching.
