Chapter 383 [Dissension! An unbreakable conspiracy]

With 3 minutes left in the final quarter, the Wizards led 112 to 93, and the game entered garbage time.

Byron Scott then replaced Jason Kidd, who had not rested for a minute before.

The Wizards substitutes maintained their advantage until the end, winning 120 to 100, and the total score was tied at 1 to 1.

Jordan played 32 minutes and scored a triple-double of 16 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. Boozer had 20 points and 6 rebounds, and Stoudemire had 22 points and 10 rebounds. The three of them teamed up to destroy the Nets inside. Seven members of the Wizards team scored in double figures, and Hamilton, Wesley, Alston, and Maggette also performed well on the outside.

Nets Kidd scored 19 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, and the connection with his teammates was cut off.

Martin played 42 minutes, making 8 of 16 shots, 6 of 7 free throws, and scored 22 points, 12 rebounds and 2 assists. The data looks pretty good, but Martin's offense with the ball cannot guarantee scoring efficiency and cannot make key shots.

Eddy Curry had 11 points and 2 rebounds.

Barkley commented: "As a big center with a height of 213cm, a weight of 130kg and a wingspan of 231cm, Curry showed incredible agility and dexterously dodged rebounds one after another. Unfortunately, two of the rebounds were in too high a position. You were too upright and fell into his arms, causing him to fail to set a perfect record. Don't be discouraged, Curry, I'm optimistic about your feat of achieving zero rebounds in the end game!"

Rodney Rogers had 10 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists. He was the Nets' best substitute. He was 201cm tall and could rebound better than Curry.

Only four players from the Nets scored in double figures. Stephen Jackson made 3 of 12 shots, 0 of 4 three-pointers, and 3 of 4 free throws. He only had 9 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.

At the press conference, reporters interviewed Yang Rui and asked him to evaluate the game.

Everything is ready, Yang Rui is finally going to unleash the ultimate move that he has been preparing for a long time. He doesn't think advancing to the finals is a hellish difficulty. In addition to letting Jordan play as a power forward, he is also prepared to use "mouth escape".

Yang Rui made a surprising statement: "I think the key to winning is that there is a problem within the Nets. Jason Kidd and Byron Scott don't seem to get along, and the Nets are weaker than in the regular season. Of course, This is just my personal opinion. Maybe the Nets just didn't play well in this game, and it's not that Kidd didn't listen to the coach's arrangements."

The reporters’ eyes widened, big news!

Regardless of whether the reason why the Wizards won is really what Yang Rui said, the news can be written like this. If the Nets are dissatisfied by then and Yang Rui is offended, why wouldn't reporters do the same?

The Nets have done well in the past two seasons.

Players and coaching staff will not publicly accuse each other, and there is certainly no news of a disagreement between the generals.

Yang Rui, a reborn person, is very aware that Kidd and Scott have conflicts. Next season, Kidd will lead the players to jointly force the palace to drive Scott away. Even 10 years later, the two still dislike each other.

For Yang Rui, winning is the most important thing, so he began to consider taking advantage of this during the regular season. Last time the Nets won, not many people believed what he said. But this time the Nets lost miserably at home, it was different.

Even if others don't believe it, Kidd and Scott will still have knots in their hearts, and their conflicts will deepen.

Conspiracies often have flaws, and conspiracy cannot be solved.

Yang Rui has no friendship with Scott and does not like Kidd. He will not be polite to the Nets. If it is not a rumor, the conflict between Scott and Kidd is likely to break out in advance.

As for what impact this will have on Kidd, Yang Rui doesn't care.

Kidd is very classless, both at home and at work, and his moral integrity is completely gone.

When he was in the Mavericks, Kidd had a falling out with his teammates because of stealing women. Later, he was subjected to domestic violence and domestic violence, and various scandals. He led the players to force the palace and drove out the head coach. Later, he went back on his word when renewing his contract with the Mavericks and fell out with Cuban. .

Kidd became even more bizarre after becoming a coach. In his first season, he used power tactics to exclude dissidents. When he couldn't win, he even flirted with the Nets coach and Bucks in front of the Nets coach and the Bucks. He suggested that star center Brook Lopez be replaced by philosopher Larry Sanders. Want to cheat the Nets. After failing to force the management, he went directly to the Bucks to apply for a job. At that time, Bucks coach Drew hadn't even finished class yet.

In short, if a person like Kidd is unlucky, most people would like to hear about it, and Yang Rui certainly won't feel guilty.

A reporter asked: "In this game, Jordan played power forward most of the time. What do you think?"

"Let him fight like this if you think it's appropriate." Yang Rui said with a smile.

The reporter asked: "Jordan's defense in the low post was fierce. Aren't you afraid that his injury will get worse?"

"What are you afraid of? He only faced Kenyon Martin, Aaron Williams, and Rodgers, not Shaquille O'Neal. If you interviewed Michael, would he say he was afraid of these people?"

Yang Rui continued to play psychological warfare and create psychological pressure on the Nets players.

As long as he says this, reporters will definitely add fuel to the fire and won't say anything good about the Nets insiders. If it can lead Martin to attack the low post, that would be great. The efficiency will definitely not be high, and the next game will be easier to play.

Martin is a power forward who cannot do without the assists of his teammates. He is good at cutting after screens and attacking the basket. He averaged 19 points, 9.5 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game in the playoffs. He looked very powerful, but in fact he couldn't attack with the ball, and his shooting percentage was only 45.3%, which is not high in the paint.

Martin held the ball and was one-on-one with Jordan, so he couldn't take advantage. If he plays mainly in the low post, he won't average 15 points per game. Martin was past his prime after leaving the Nets. Later, even if he joined the Xinjiang team in the Chinese CBA, his offensive skills were not good enough and he could not score with the ball, so he was quickly waived.

Jordan had a conversation with Yang Rui in the locker room and said in an interview: "Jerry asked me to play as a power forward. I told him it was no problem. I didn't play much in the last series and my knee has healed. Even if I can't jump , I also have a way to complete low post defense."

The reporter asked: "How do you evaluate Nets power forward Martin?"

"He is a blue-collar man with super athletic ability, but weak offensive ability with the ball. Looking at offensive ability, Curry is much better than him. Curry's physical fitness is outstanding, his shooting touch is also very soft, and he is very threatening."

Jordan deliberately praised Curry, even if the reporter didn't ask.

In fact, the Wizards coaching staff feels that it would be easier to play if Curry is on the court. This fat guy is terrible at guarding pick-and-rolls and rebounding, while Stoudemire and Boozer happen to be good at pick-and-rolls and rushing for offensive rebounds.

One detail revealed that Yang Rui didn't take Curry seriously at all. In order to strengthen the team's offense, he did not let blue-collar center Haywood enter or leave the lineup.

Let the Nets coaching staff guess whether it is true or false.

The next day, the tone of the media completely changed. "Advertising to the changing circumstances" is an essential quality for successful media. After the last game, the media were analyzing the possibility of the Wizards being swept by the Nets, because they had lost multiple games to the Nets and were swept in the regular season.

Now that the Nets have lost their home court advantage, most people think the Wizards will advance.

In addition, Yang Rui speculated that there would be a conflict between Kidd and Scott immediately. Someone within the Nets anonymously broke the news and pointed out that Scott and Kidd really had a serious conflict. The two often quarreled within the team because Kidd didn't like to play according to Scott's tactics.

As soon as the news came out, Wizards fans were happy, thinking that this would be an important turning point in the series.

Most fans feel that the Wizards are really likely to upset the finals!

PS: Looking at the comment section, many readers think that the Wizards will definitely not be able to beat the Nets. Has anyone thought of this big move?
