Durant faced Harden with the ball in the frontcourt and directly chose to break through.

The two started to confront each other from the high post, and by the time they got to the basket, they were already physically entangled.

The ball slipped out of bounds, and the two quickly pushed each other.

Durant sprayed at his third brother:

"You can't do that! You can't do that!"

The smell of gunpowder on the field suddenly became stronger.

The referee blew the whistle in time to separate the two men, and the audience burst into cheers.

Fans also felt that Harden's celebration was excessive.

At this time, Lin Ying went to Durant's side to ask him to calm down a little.

He felt that Durant might have misunderstood Harden's move, although it did look like a shit-stirring move.

Of course, what's more important is that it does no good for the higher-ups to take the lead now.

The brief conflict ended and Durant resumed holding the ball to beat Batum.

He gave Batum respect, and his pull-up jump shot after changing direction made a solid hit.

Sure enough, the Nets' tactics can cope with all situations.

As long as you can't guard against my attack, it doesn't matter even if you encounter a "black whistle".

Harden went to the frontcourt and continued to pick and roll to find Jokic.

Jokic defended more outside this time. Harden accelerated past him and broke into the paint. He leaned directly on Durant who was assisting in defense. He used an extremely standard "fairy jump" to create a foul, causing Durant to foul defensively.

.

Durant looked at the referee with joy in his eyes.

Just because Third Brother is familiar with the rules, do you condone him like this?

The scene was filled with boos again.

It's a double retreat and a hit. Compared with the previous shooting guard representatives, Harden's style of play is really hard to compliment.

But what deserves more attention than Harden's play at this time is his play on the court.

Not to mention the complicated Princeton, even the shadow of tactics is relatively small.

On the Nets' side, they opened up the space for singles, and at most a pick-and-roll, while on the Timberwolves' side, Harden held the ball and hit the big man in a misplaced position, giving Jokic "military training."

However, from an effect point of view, both teams played very efficiently.

This is completely explainable.

Before this, stars tended to play head-on in singles.

Jordan and Kobe are typical examples. No matter who you send to guard me, I will choose to hit you head-on until you flank me.

Based on this, Phil Jackson introduced the triangle tactic into the league with the clear purpose of creating a comfortable space for them to hit hard.

Other teams did not have this level of super giants. In order to compete, they successively introduced Princeton and bombardment tactics into the league.

For a long period of time, the league's tactics flourished and fans were dazzled.

Then we can find one thing from these tactics. The purpose of these tactics is to make the scoring efficiency on the field higher.

For example, the current Spurs rely on "hammer tactics" to continue their championship run.

But now, when a team's configuration can make the star's singles efficient, such as the Nets; or it relies on strong mismatched singles ability for "military training", such as Harden.

Then the tactic loses its meaning to a certain extent.

Because this is far more efficient than your old tactics of running around for a long time!

Of course, in order to create singles opportunities, a lot of tactical units and tactical understanding will be reflected in it.

For example, the isolation space concept in triangle tactics, such as the pick-and-roll tactical unit.

In a sense, today's opening game represents a change in basketball tactics to a large extent.

This will definitely be studied by many teams after the game, and then gradually become one of the tactical options.

About nine minutes into the first quarter, the score on the field was 24 to 14.

Although Harden's familiarity with the rules is a bit cunning, no one else on the Timberwolves team can perform well except him.

Towns, in particular, was completely suppressed by Jokic.

At this time, the two sides began to rotate one after another.

The Timberwolves' lineup includes Lou Williams, Muhammad, Batum, Bjelica, and Capela.

For the Nets, Rose, Curry Jr., Johnson, West, Jokic.

Lu fully trusted Jokic and kept the little fat man on the court.

Although, the little fat man had a bitter look on his face at this time.

He thought he had survived Karl, but he never expected that someone more ruthless than Karl would appear.

But the good news is that Lu used his fourth tactic at this time.

Well, give the ball to Rose.

Rose won Lue's trust with his performance in a preseason game, and Lue returned this trust to Rose at this time.

The one who defended Russia was Muhammad.

Muhammad is strong and has a certain shooting ability. He can be understood as a weaker version of Harden.

Then he basically has the same weaknesses as Harden. His larger weight gives him an advantage in breakthroughs on the offensive end, but lateral movement on the defensive end is a big problem.

So with just an accelerated change of direction, Rose shook Muhammad away.

Although he is no longer at his peak, Rose has a solid foundation, and this kind of change of direction is still easy to achieve.

Don't ask why the Timberwolves don't need anyone else to defend them, because the other defender is Lou Williams!

And Rose is playing really smart now. After passing Muhammad and finding Bjelica coming up to help defend, he directly sent the ball to the blue bottom.

Over there, West cut in to catch the ball before Bjelica turned around.

"Bang!"

Jumping up is a violent frame of abuse with both hands.

West roared with excitement after the dunk.

Although he is one year older, his condition remains the same as last season!

While retreating, West also found Rose and gave him a high-five.

A little trivia: Rose started his career as a pure point guard. He played very selflessly in middle school, often taking no more than 10 shots in a game.

Later, the head coach of the middle school couldn't stand it and imposed a rule on him, requiring him to take more than 10 shots in each game, otherwise the whole team would have to follow him and run around the court. This forced him to take more shots.

With Ross now.

However, the inner core has not changed with the changes in his playing style. Rose's selfless style of play has always been retained, and he will still pass the ball as soon as his teammates have the opportunity.

This is very important, because as the core of singles, if you only know how to rush and don't know how to pass, or have no awareness of passing, no matter how strong your breakthrough ability is, you will still be embarrassed in your big task.

Williams responded with Capela's throw in the frontcourt and after the pick-and-roll.

The Los Angeles dad in history still exudes a "Super Six" aura in Minnesota.

But looking back, Rose broke through Muhammad again, and after encountering Batum's defense, he went to the basket and passed the ball to Johnson on the outside.

Johnson caught the ball and adjusted his three-point shot.

"Whoa!"

Hands up and swords down!

After scoring the goal, Johnson waved his fist excitedly.

This is not a show of boxing skills, but a real excitement.

Because he can score goals, he can maintain a rotation position in the basketball team, which means he can get a big contract next season.

How can something like this not be exciting!

And these two consecutive rounds proved that Lu's tactics worked again!

True simplicity!

…

After three fierce quarters and one garbage time, the Nets defeated the Timberwolves 122-96 and won the home opener.

In terms of statistics, Lin Ying had 25 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, Durant had 21 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, Jokic had 13 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, and Rose had 12 points, 2 rebounds and 5 assists.

In addition to the "Big Four", Johnson also performed well, hitting two three-pointers and scoring 13 points.

For the Timberwolves, Harden had a near-triple-double with 29 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists, while Towns had 15 points and 11 rebounds.
