Chapter 149 Nets, Kidd
The last stop of the three-linker-New Jersey Nets.
New Jersey is the fourth smallest and most densely populated state in the United States. Its state is nicknamed the "Garden State" and is also called Xinzhou by Chinese in the East.
The state is located between New York and Philadelphia. It is actually a suburb between the two major cities of New York City and Philadelphia. It has no obvious personality in terms of economy and culture.
It is New Jersey, which is in the gap between the two major cities, that gave birth to their NBA team, the New Jersey Nets.
Formed a team in 1967, played in the ABA for ten years, won three championships, and joined the NBA with the Spurs, Nuggets, and Pacers in 1976.
When they first entered the NBA, the Nets obviously did not adapt. The Nets achieved the league's worst record of 22 wins and 60 losses. The team is still the only team in the league that failed to score more than 8000 points in a season.
Afterwards, the New Jersey Nets occasionally entered the playoffs, and most of them were round trips, so it was difficult to perform well.
This state lasted until the beginning of the 21st century before a major change occurred.
In the 2000-01 season, Byron Scott's first season in charge of the Nets could not get the team into the envisioned track: because of too many injuries in the team.Kyrie Kittles, Jamie Fick and Keith Van Horn were unable to play at the beginning of the season. Since then, the team has never been able to produce chemistry, because once a new player is injured, it must Adjust lineup and style of play.The team ended the 26-56 season with 2000 wins and 2001 losses and missed the playoffs for the third consecutive time.
In the 2001-02 season, the Nets achieved the best 52 victories in team history.The team won the Atlantic Division championship and the East Division championship trophy, and reached the finals all the way.And all of this started when Jason Kidd was transferred to the team.Jason Kidd became one of the top 5 triple-double machines in history this season.After defeating Indiana, Charlotte and Boston in the playoffs, the Nets lost to the Los Angeles Lakers in the finals and unfortunately missed the championship trophy.
In the 2002-03 season, the Nets entered the finals for the second consecutive year in this season.But in the finals, they lost 2-4 to the Spurs and missed the championship again. The team also swept the Boston Celtics and Detroit Pistons in the playoffs.In addition to the loss in the finals, it was another successful year for the team.Sophomore Richard Jefferson excelled at small forward, Kenyon Martin remains one of the most dominant power forwards in the East, and Jason Kidd maintains his leadership to lead the team go ahead.
After the 2003 Finals, Jason Kidd became a free agent, rejected the pursuit of the Spurs and renewed his contract with the Nets. He was reimbursed for the entire season due to kidney disease and only played 12 games for the Nets.
In the 1994-95 season, Kidd was selected by the Dallas Mavericks in the second round of the first round and participated in the All-Star Rookie Contest.In his first year, he averaged 2 points, 11.7 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game, and shared the NBA Rookie of the Year honor with Grant Hill from the Detroit Pistons.He and two other Dallas players, Jim Jackson and Jamal Mashburn, are known as the "7.7Js" of Dallas.
In the 2001-02 season, Kidd led the New Jersey Nets to an astonishing 52 wins and 30 losses, which became one of the best in team history.Kidd himself also ranked second behind Tim Duncan in the NBA's Most Valuable Player selection.
Although he is a point guard, Kidd is the offensive and defensive converter of the whole team, playing wherever he wants.Kidd is different from other NBA superstars. He is not relying on innate physical fitness but relying on his mind to play.He has unparalleled composure and insight on the pitch.He plays the ball in a simple but gorgeous way, with a delicate atmosphere and a selfless style of play, but he can also stand up at critical moments and save the team from fire and water. Therefore, he is considered one of the best game controllers and point guards in NBA history. one.
Jordan, O'Neal, and Duncan can all turn a top team into a championship team, but only Kidd can turn a bad team into a top team.
In this regard, Limbo and Kidd are very similar, so the media created some gimmicks for the game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the New Jersey Nets. Is Kidd's leadership ability stronger, or Limbo's passing is better.
The media also summarized some similarities, advantages and disadvantages between Limbo and Jason Kidd.
The first point:
The scary thing about Kidd is that he can always quickly see which teammate is leaking when the team is double-teamed at a certain point.
However, Ling Bo was able to find an open teammate to pass the ball when he was double-teamed.
Second point:
Both Kidd and Limbo are masters of man-to-man defense and consummate team defenders.
The third point:
The stealing skills of the two are top in the league. Lingbo ranks first in the stealing list, and Jason Kidd ranks second.And it is precisely because both of them are master steals and the brains of the team, they are both good at launching fast breaks.
The shortcoming is that Kidd's outside shooting is not accurate enough, but his teammates Richard Jefferson, Kittles and others can make up for it very well.
Ling Bo's shortcoming lies in experience. If Ling Bo didn't rely on his own cloud-exploring hand and Ling Bo's small steps, his routines might have been figured out long ago. Bo's martial arts are hard to defend.
As for the team, the Nets have been able to stand on the stage of the finals for two consecutive years, and their overall strength must be better than that of the Cavaliers.
And this is the third stop of the Cavaliers' three-game streak. Whether it is physical fitness or player status, the New Jersey Nets have an advantage.The Cavaliers attacked the city and pulled out the stronghold, and ran for thousands of miles, while the Nets deployed their defenses in advance to wait for work.
However, the Cavaliers' lineup is complete in this game. Carlos Boozer officially returned and the Cavaliers' Iron Triangle returned.
Carlos Boozer has been "crazy" recently, and this madness is mainly manifested in two aspects.
According to Xia X, a person familiar with the situation, he and Carlos Boozer went to play together on Christmas. In the room next to the two, Boozer, who had just recovered from his injury, hugged left and right. call.
Moreover, when he was in Chicago and Portland, Boozer also sneaked out at night, and everyone knew what he was doing.
In the past, Boozer only went there once or twice a week. During the nearly one month of injury, he was really suffocated, so he had to vent.
The other is shown on the court. In the two games against the Portland Trail Blazers and the Chicago Bulls, he got 10 minutes of playing time. He has not played for a long time.
It is estimated that Boozer is holding it. Anyway, I am injured and Ling is there. I am playing with an attitude of not being afraid.
The match between No. [-] in the Eastern Conference and No. [-] in the Eastern Conference was widely reported by the media. Limbo faced Kidd head-on. Who is the league's top passer?
