Coach: Coaching the Grizzlies at the beginning, playing the bantam

In the final quarter, Leonard and George continued to play, trying to use their personal abilities to narrow the score difference.

Unfortunately, the hole dug was too big in the first three quarters. The Clippers' efforts were in vain after all, and the Nets were able to deal with it calmly even with a full bench lineup.

Under the offensive of the Nets players, the Clippers' main players were disheartened after playing for a while.

Four minutes later, the Nets were still leading by more than 4 points, and Rivers had no choice but to come on the bench with a look of helplessness.

Leonard's face was calm when he came off the court, and it was difficult to tell from his appearance what he was really thinking.

However, I am afraid only he knows how upset Xiaoka is at this time.

After joining the Clippers, he was still defeated by the Nets led by Lu Yong. As the first player in the league to rest, he lost face. It will be more difficult to control the Clippers locker room in the future.

He couldn't accept losing to the Nets, especially a big score loss that seemed to have no ability to fight back. It seemed that the Clippers and Nets were not teams of the same level at all.

If the Nets can play with this kind of intensity in the playoffs, even if the Clippers are lucky enough to make it to the Finals, they will only be swept.

Even Leonard is no longer optimistic about the Clippers' championship prospects, let alone the fans?

The atmosphere at the Nets' home court was as enthusiastic as if they had already won the championship in advance. The top three teams in the Western Conference were all eliminated. This kind of record is enough to make people despair.

When Porzingis and Durant are online at the same time, the Nets offense is unstoppable.

In terms of fame, Durant is better than Porzingis, but in terms of tactical role, Porzingis is no smaller than Adu.

In this game, Harrell was completely defeated by Porzingis on the defensive end. As long as the ball is passed to Porzingis, a one-on-one opportunity is available.

With a height of 2 meters, Harrell has no advantage in speed against Boshen. The mobility of the two is evenly matched, but there is a height difference of more than 03 centimeters.

When Harrell took a break, substitute power forward Harkless was even worse, and his offensive threat was not as useful as Harrell, who averaged 18.6 points per game.

During garbage time, the main players took a rest, and the offensive firepower of the Nets' fringe players continued to be strong. They were overwhelmed against the Clippers' third lineup, and the point difference quickly widened to 37 points.

"Pig Head" Rivers stopped calling timeout and quietly waited on the sidelines for the game to end.

If you can't win a game, there's no need to call a timeout to annoy people.

Neither team has their main player on the field, so there's nothing they can do if they can't beat him.

Barkley said with a smile: "This season the Nets have given everyone hope of breaking the regular season record. Their performance on both ends of the offense and defense is simply great. If they continue like this, the Nets have a high chance of losing more games." Control it within 6 games.”

Kenny Smith nodded and responded: "Yes, the Nets have been leading the record list in the new season. Their strength is at least one level ahead of other teams."

At the end, 127 to 88, the Nets beat the Clippers by 39 points in the Christmas Day game.

This is even when the Nets' main players stopped playing early. If they go all out, it would not be surprising for the Clippers to lose by 50 points tonight.

The Clippers, who were showing off their power in the Western Conference, were like a tiger with its teeth pulled out when meeting the Nets. It didn't make the fans mad to death on Christmas Day.

Leonard also had a disastrous performance, making 18 of 6 shots, 5 of 1 three-pointers, and 5 of 4 free throws. He only scored 17 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1 steal. His shooting rate was a bit miserable, 33.3%.

二当家保罗-乔治的发挥也没好到哪去，17投7中，三分球7中2，罚球3中2，得到18分7篮板2助攻1盖帽，命中率41.2%。

The two forwards both scored less than 20 points. With this performance, it is no wonder that the Clippers suffered a big defeat.

On the Nets side, a total of 7 people on the team scored in double figures, and three scored 20+.

杜兰特16投9中，三分5中3，罚球5中5，三节砍下26分5篮板5助攻1抢断1盖帽，完胜小卡。

波尔津吉斯22分11篮板2助攻2盖帽，数据也好过11分4篮板的哈雷尔。

Brunson had 21 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals. Once Beverley was separated by the screen, the Clippers had nothing to do with him.

During the press conference, Rivers kept a dark face throughout and refused to say a word.

After a perfunctory interview with reporters, he hurriedly left with the players.

The Nets players were all very proud and answered various questions from reporters with smiles on their faces.

They didn't add insult to injury to the Clippers, but the words "invincible" were written on everyone's face.

Durant did not praise himself. The person he mentioned most in front of the camera was his mentor Lu Yong.

"As early as when I first entered the league, Lu told me that he would arrange tactics to help me bring out my full potential and train me to become a top star. I am very happy that what Lu promised has come true, and I did not let him down. , now everyone is enjoying the game every day.”

The reporter asked: "Rivers said on a show before that Leonard is as good a star as you, but he is not as lucky as you. What do you think about this?"?

Durant, who is so crazy that even netizens are criticizing him, certainly wants to call Rivers an old dog, or treat Rivers to a small meal of crazy comments.

But Durant was in a good mood today and easily beat Leonard one-on-one, so he naturally wouldn't get entangled in such trivial matters.

"I have never heard this statement, and I don't agree with it. Facts have proved that his original judgment was wrong."

The reporters took photos together. As expected, Chaoju has his own arrogance.

A mediocre answer showed Durant's dominance over me.

Some Los Angeles reporters found it unbelievable. In the summer, many people thought Durant would go downhill after winning the championship again.

It is difficult for his body and mentality to return to the state of his youth.

As a result, Adu dispelled all doubts as soon as the regular season began.

Not only has his form not declined, but he averages more points per game than last season, and currently ranks at the forefront of the scoring list with 28.7 points.

This is because Durant often clocks out in three quarters. If he averages 37 minutes per game like Harden, it is not difficult to average 30+ points per game.

In fact, this is normal. Durant was still averaging 29 points per game in the Suns until the time when Lu Yong traveled over.

With his talent and style of play, even age can't stop him from scoring points.

What's more, in his previous life, Durant suffered a severe Achilles tendon tear when he joined the Warriors and took a whole season off without playing a game.

Now Adu has not suffered any serious injuries at all, averaging 28.7 points per game, which is a casual level.

Lu Yong really wants to arrange tactics for him to improve his statistics. 40+ points per game is a bit bragging, but averaging 35 points per game is definitely a piece of cake.

The fact that his offensive ability is comparable to Jordan's is not just a fan's boast, but Adu's real contribution on the court.

Lu Yong was interviewed and gave Durant high praise. "I have never questioned Adu's personal ability. He is my disciple. No one knows better than me how terrifying he is on the offensive end."

The reporter asked: "What do you think is better between Durant and Anthony?"

"First of all, talent. His height and wingspan can ensure that jumpers ignore blocks. This is an advantage that Anthony does not have. In addition, Anthony's offensive stability is not as good as Adu. I know that saying this may cause some confusion. The fans are dissatisfied, but I have coached both of them at the same time and won championships in both cases, so no one has more say in this regard than me."

The reporter asked again: "Who do you think is better, Michael Jordan or Durant?"

"Maybe it was Jordan who was better in the past, but now it must be Adu." Lu Yong replied.

"why?"

Lu Yong smiled and said: "Because I have never coached Jordan, if you are not convinced, you can let him come back and try. Now he is definitely not as good as Adu."

"Ha ha ha ha."

There was a burst of laughter from the reporters in the audience. Lu Yong’s answer was that his emotional intelligence was online.

It not only affirmed Adu's personal ability, but also did not question Jordan. Everyone was happy.

As for letting the 50-year-old Jordan come back to challenge Adu, you can tell with your buttocks that the old gangster will be beaten violently.

The next day, the Nets made the headlines of many sports news and received far more attention than the Lakers, Clippers and Bucks.

All major media have praised the Nets, with 29 wins and 1 loss, truly ranking first in the rankings.

The Lakers are 24 wins and 7 losses, far behind the Nets. Unless there is a long winning streak, it will be difficult to catch up.

The Bucks relied on their mid-term efforts to overtake the Lakers and move to second place in the league. They currently have 25 wins and 6 losses, and they are very strong.

However, the Nets are suppressing the Eastern Conference.

No matter how good the Bucks' record is, they can only be reduced to a supporting role, which makes Budenholzer and Antetokounmpo a little uncomfortable. In an Eastern Conference Christmas game on the same day, the Bucks defeated the Celtics, the powerful team in the same region, 116-104, but the result only occupied a small space in the news.

Fans still prefer to discuss Nets games online. The record of 29 wins and 1 loss is so amazing that it is enough to attract everyone's attention.

In terms of popularity, the Bucks, which are already in a small market, cannot compare with the Nets.

Even though Giannis Antetokounmpo has been very popular in the United States in the past two years, as long as Adu does not retreat, he will only be the prince after all.

The NBA is essentially a business league. Performance does not determine everything, but it is a necessary condition for accumulating a fan base.

Even if Lu Yong is already the well-deserved number one coach in history, he must admit this.

If one day the team he leads falls to the bottom of the league, his popularity will definitely decline by then.

As strong as Michael Jordan, he was only an All-Star substitute in the twilight years of his career. He could only dance the last dance by relying on his junior to give up his spot in the All-Star starting lineup.

When fans like a team, their starting point is definitely not to watch them lose.

Only when it is strong enough and wins enough games can it become the most watched team in the league.

With the Nets as a giant, the Bucks, Lakers and Clippers all have to stand back.

This season is destined to belong to the Nets. No one can stop Lu Yong from leading the team to break the best record in the regular season.

After the Christmas game, everyone in the Nets only had one day of rest before sitting at home to face the challenge from the Celtics.

As expected, the Celtics, who couldn't even beat the Bucks, were naturally no match for the Nets.

118 to 97, the Nets easily won and became the first team to achieve 30 wins this season.

A large part of the reason for the decline in the Green Army's combat effectiveness this season is that Horford was poached and there was no defensive core inside. As a result, the Bucks led by Giannis Antetokounmpo were unable to take advantage.

Daniel Theis's defensive attitude is also very active, but he is not an excellent center, not even as good as Zubac of the Clippers, let alone filling the vacancy after Horford left.

Theis averaged 9.3 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.3 blocks per game this season. His personal data was so-so, and he was beaten when he met Cousins ​​in the low post.

考辛斯继续首发出场，联手波尔津吉斯在绿军内线狂轰25分11篮板3助攻1抢断2盖帽，得分创下赛季新高。

After watching this game, Nets fans all called Kaoshenmeng back to the top and showing the dominance of the Kings era.

Cousins' biggest decline after returning from injury is his slowing down. If the opponent's center is not strong enough and he is given the ball inside, he can still produce good personal data.

After this game, the Celtics' record reached 18 wins and 11 losses. Without Horford, the rationality of the lineup was destroyed.

Before Tatum and Brown completely enter their peak period, the Celtics are no longer the favorites to win the Eastern Conference championship. Even if they can reach the second round of the playoffs, it will not be easy to enter the Eastern Conference Finals.

The core members of the Nets clocked out for three quarters and only played less than 30 minutes, effortlessly.

In the last two games of December, the Nets defeated the Hornets and Magic one after another, ushering in the new year with a terrifying record of 32 wins and 1 loss.

Durant won the Eastern Conference Player of the Month for his stable performance.

Even if he clocked out in the third quarter, he still scored 20+ points steadily, and games with less than 25 points were rare.

The media began to discuss the possibility of Durant winning the regular season MVP.

The final result is the same as what Lu Yong said. As long as Adu does not suffer injuries, no one in the league can compete with him this year.

Not even halfway through the season, Durant already has the MVP.

Regardless of team record or personal data, Adu deserves to be elected.

In addition, Rose, who was reborn from the ashes, has also entered the discussion for the best sixth man.

Joining the Nets this season, he ushered in the second spring of his career. He averaged 22.6 minutes on the bench, scored 15.4 points, 3.1 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1 steal. He shot 48.9% from the field, 37.8% from three-point range, and 84.6% from the free throw line.

Although I dare not say that he is guaranteed to win the sixth man, but with the Nets' record bonus that is very likely to break the historical record, he has a high chance of winning. It has been a long time since he was as happy as this year.

This is due to Lu Yong's cautious use of him, taking back-to-back breaks and occasionally not playing two games in four days. Everything is focused on maintaining health.

This method of use did not affect the Nets' record. The third point guard Vincent has the ability to take charge of his own role. With Rose on a truce, he is more than enough to serve as a substitute for Brunson.

Regardless of the fact that he doesn't have much playing time with the Nets, after his contract expires this summer, he will definitely be snapped up by other teams when he enters the free market.

Putting aside the aura of a championship defender, he is also labeled as a "Lu player".

This kind of role player who doesn't have to worry about being out of the water is the favorite of other teams in the league.

The saying that products produced by the Lu family must be high-quality products has long been confirmed, and no one will question Lu Yong's talent selection vision.

Entering January, the Nets suffered their second loss of the season, an upset loss to the Jazz 109-115 away from home.

Jazz head coach Snyder is the coach brought out by Lu Yong. He has studied with Lu Yong for a long time and has now built this Jazz team into an iron bucket.

Although there are no top stars in charge, they can always win by relying on team basketball.

The Nets mainly lost this game because of their poor offense. Except for Durant, who steadily contributed 27 points, 7 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal, everyone else's shooting percentage was very dismal.

波尔津吉斯17投6中，三分5中1，罚球4中2，只得15分8篮板2助攻1盖帽，投篮命中率35.4%，打出了赛季最差一战。

However, Lu Yong did not blame the players after the game. In the long regular season, even if the Eastern Conference All-Stars form a team, they cannot say that they will not lose.

By the middle of the season, players' status will inevitably have ups and downs, and losing is not a big deal.

Soon, the Nets beat the Knicks in the next game to avoid a losing streak.

波尔津吉斯休息一天状态回暖，对上兰德尔发挥非常好，出战33分钟，16投11中，三分球8中4，罚球5中5，砍下31分12篮板5助攻2抢断4盖帽。

杜兰特18投10中，三分球5中2，罚球7中6，得到28分7篮板7助攻。

米切尔12投7中，三分8中4，罚球6中6，得到24分3篮板2助攻1抢断。

罗斯9中5，三分球3中1，罚球4中4，得到15分2篮板3助攻。

Other Nets players also played well and used the Knicks as a punching bag after losing, winning 136 to 102 by 34 points.

安东尼18投7中，三分球5中1，罚球3中2，仅得17分5篮板1抢断，没有助攻，兰德尔16分8篮板4助攻4失误，发挥同样不好。

Only four members of the Knicks team scored in double figures. Since Lu Yong left, the New York Derby has not been won.

In the summer, news claimed that the addition of Elfrid Payton would strengthen the Knicks' perimeter defense and help take the defensive pressure off Anthony.

As a result, Payton can't even protect himself. He has been given the starting job by head coach David Fizdale in recent games. The poor offense has made Fizdale afraid to use him.

Some time ago, there were once again discordant voices within the Knicks. No. 2 Barrett complained about Anthony many times after the game, believing that his large number of shots and stray shots delayed his growth.

Although the Knicks suppressed their voices every time and emphasized internal resolution, the problem has not been solved until now.

As a former No. 1 player in the league, Anthony naturally would not tolerate rookies. There were frequent quarrels in the locker room.

Embarrassingly, the Knicks have lost all the games in which Anthony scored 30+ points this season.

His frequent singles with the ball didn't seem to make the team better. The more points he scored, the faster he lost. It would be embarrassing for anyone to replace him.

The next day, the Nets defeated the Warriors with an incomplete lineup back to back, 112-94.

Star Stephen Curry is injured and is not expected to return this season.

The Warriors are currently on a losing streak and have dropped to third from the bottom in the Western Conference, posing no threat to other championship teams.

After this game, the Nets got three days of rest.

The players were taking random breaks and didn't have much playing time. Now they don't have to worry about physical crisis. You can prepare with peace of mind for the game against the second-placed Milwaukee Bucks in the Eastern Conference on the 6th. (End of chapter)
