New Jersey is the most special of the fifty-two states in the United States. It is connected to New York State in the north, to the Atlantic Ocean in the east, to Delaware in the south, to Pennsylvania in the west. Some areas of New Jersey are divided under several major metropolitan areas, one of which is the New York metropolitan area. The home location of the Nets is Eastrutherford County, although it belongs to New Jersey, it is also a suburb of New York City, and is only separated from New York by a Hudson River.

As we all know, the Knicks' home court is located in Manhattan District, New York City, between 31 and 33 Streets. In other words, although the Nets and the Knicks are in two different states, they are very close in geographical locations and belong to the New York Metropolitan District. This is why the two teams' games are often described as derby battles.

However, at this time, the Knicks and the Nets became a pair of brothers in distress. Not to mention the decline of the Knicks, they will rank 12th in the East last season, and there is naturally a deep reason why they will rank 12th in the East. Just talking about the Nets, they are no longer as powerful as they were four or five years ago.

Kidd is still there, and Jefferson has not left. If you only look at it from the books, it is just a fool Martin missing. What's more, the team has introduced a superstar like "Canadian Flying Man" Carter, but it is that stupid man who took away the Nets' only inside pillar. It's true that Martin was no major player in Shu at the time, and Liao Hua was the pioneer. At this time, the Nets could not even find Liao Hua like Martin.

In the center position, coach Lawrence Frank dared to send only two people, Yugoslav Nenard Costic and Stanford University top student Jason Collins.

Speaking of Stanford, what will be the first thing you think of? Lawyer, engineer, businessman, or scientist? Is it the 31st President of the United States Hoover, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barack? Or is it the founders of Goole Sergey Brin and Larry Page, HP founder William Hewlett, Nike founder Phil Knight, or the famous golfer Tiger Woods, and the famous M.L.B star of the New York Yankees?

Anyway, there will be no NBA star's name flashing through your mind, right? That's right, because although Collins set a career shooting percentage of 61.2% in Stanford's first place in school history, he is really nothing in the NBA.

There is a saying that goes: Talent? It's completely nonsense to Jason Collins. He plays basketball like Yao Ming plays tennis. He has nothing except height. Of course, this is over. At least Collins is 2.13 meters, 118 kilograms of standard center height and weight. Although his skills are really bad, he does work hard enough and can be regarded as a standard blue-collar coolie. At least he is willing to use his body to block the gun hole. He has rich experience in this and was once called "one of the best low-post defenders in the East."

If you look at this, Collins is still quite good, but he has another nickname: "NBA is the most powerful player". When the team is on a fast break, Martin often receives Kidd's pass and completes the aerial relay, so Collins can slowly swing through the midfield. Even if he can maintain his college shooting rate, what's the use? What's more, since he entered the league, his shooting rate has begun to decrease year by year. In the end, even he himself has lost confidence in himself and simply dare not take the ball.

"Occurrence? No, this is not my territory at all, I can't be the one who decides" - Jason Collins.

...

Fortunately, the team has joined the Yugoslav Kostic.

Speaking of Yugoslavia, old fans know that the former European overlord and world champion have trained countless basketball players. The most famous one should be Peja, namely Stojakovic, and Kostic is also quite good at abilities.

Kostic and Yao Ming are rookies of the same year, but he didn't make it to the NBA until 2004. He is a typical technical inside player. He averaged about 16 points and 7 rebounds in the first 26 games last season. Unfortunately, his fate was ill-fated. He then tore the anterior cruciate ligament of his left knee and was reimbursed for the season. Although he returned early this season, his injury did not heal completely. He was sometimes good and sometimes bad, and he couldn't play for too long. In other words, Flak probably had to send Collins as the starting center in the game with the Hawks.

The next step is power forward. To be honest, the Nets' players in this position are not as good as their center.

The Nets' starting power forward is Josh Boone, a gentleman who graduated from a prestigious Connecticut school and was a sophomore. He was unknown in high school. After entering Kang University, he won the NCAA championship as an important inside partner of Okafor in his freshman season. His blocks and rebounds are good, but unfortunately his offense is poor. He is a typical Martin-style player, but he is not as good as Martin, and he can barely make up the numbers.

Sean Williams, 2.08 meters tall and 107 weights, is a rookie at Peterton University. Before entering the league, he is famous for his violence. He has amazing explosive power. He is good at blocking and dunking, but he can't shoot or play singles with a basket. He has a bad temper and is useless.

Marik Allen is a short-term worker signed by the Nets with a one-year contract. The purpose is to make up for the team's shortcomings in the power forward position. He is a player who lost the draft and has mediocre ability.

It is not difficult to see from the people found by the Nets that since Martin left the team, the management that has gained the benefits has been committed to finding an ordinary replacement, but it is obvious that their attempts have failed so far.

In Xiao Han's opinion, the problem with the Nets is not that the young people they found are really inferior to Martin back then, but that their team-building ideas have fallen into a misunderstanding.

Kidd, who just came to the Nets six years ago, was only 28 years old, but today six years later, he is already 34 years old, and his speed and physical strength are far less than before. However, the team stubbornly wants to replicate the model of the past. It would be strange if he can have a good result.

Different methods should be used to improve the team at different times. It is obvious that as Kidd grows old, it is impossible for the Nets to focus on fast attacks. They must choose the right personnel. Working hard on the half-court position is the right way. But look at the Nets, except for Kidd, it doesn’t matter what tactics the team uses. Which of the remaining young people has solid basic skills?

Could it be that the boss of the Nets team is in the mind?

Not necessarily, who can have billions of wealth or a fool? I’m afraid that this rich man has other ideas about investing in the NBA team.

Since this is the case, in the game between the Hawks and the Nets, you only need to focus the defense on the outside and seek to open the situation in the inside.

Kidd and Jefferson skip the Nets' outside line and focus on their teammates' "glass ankles".

Vince Carter is a cousin of McGrady, and his family is of high quality. I don’t know what his body structure is. He is the most capable player in history and the most capable player in history. He has amazing bounces and strong explosive power (this is completely nonsense). He has excellent breakthroughs, shooting and assist abilities, blocking and stealing, and his comprehensive abilities are not as good as his cousin McGrady, but he is far from reaching.

Graduated from North Carolina, Jordan's junior brother, fifth pick in the first round of the 1998 draft, Rookie of the Year, etc.

Carter's excellence does not need to be nagged, but he also has a ability that is deeply remembered by fans as well as his dunk, that is, his vulnerability to injury. When he debuted, Carter was synonymous with dunks. For the first time, people were surprised to see that someone flew further than "Flying Man" Jordan. But when everyone was yyy whether he could inherit His Majesty's mantle, Carter quickly became synonymous with injuries, and the injured part was very strange, always staying away from his ankles.

Fortunately, Carter knew to cherish his body. After coming to the Nets, he gradually changed his playing style, tried to dunk as little as possible, practiced mid- and long shots, and finally rejuvenated a new spring in his career.
