Chapter 620 A team coached by two lunatics

Just as the Nets announced that Nash became the team's new coach, the Nets' official website also announced another breaking news.

D'Antoni announced his entry to the Nets, but not as a head coach, but as a chief assistant, and reunited with his former lover Steve Nash.

D'Antoni's advice to Nash is: "When you are in trouble, play the small ball bombardment system, and when you are in bigger trouble, play a more extreme small ball bombardment system."

Nash bowed his head in thought.

Nash still trusts his mentor D'Antoni very much.

After all, without D'Antoni, there might not be Nash now.

Nash has always known where D'Antoni's heart knot has been for so many years.

D'Antoni has always regretted that he failed to lead the Suns to the NBA championship.

D'Antoni was annoyed by his lack of self-confidence at the time. D'Antoni once secretly said to Nash: "I regret that in the 04-05 season, I didn't let you shoot more three-pointers like the Warriors. Because I was afraid at the time, and everyone in the league told me that there is no way out for three-pointers, and there will never be a championship. Thinking about it now, we should really abandon the doubts from the outside world and step on the gas pedal of the small ball!"

That's right, almost 20 years ago, D'Antoni used a set of advanced small ball lineups to make Kobe Bryant suspicious of life.

It's a pity that in the end, the sun is still on the road of traditional basketball under the pressure of public opinion.

If the Suns had abandoned tradition and played more aggressively, the Suns would definitely have achieved a more brilliant record than the Warriors before the Golden State Warriors.

After all, the era of the Suns where Nash was in was the real era of the NBA where the gods gathered.

In the first half of the game between the Lakers and the Nets, both teams were testing each other.

Under the joint guidance of Nash and D'Antoni, the Nets' offensive efficiency has doubled significantly compared to last season.

D'Antoni is a "tactical lunatic". His bombardment and his small ball theory are ten years earlier than the Warriors.

Today's Nash is completely inherited by D'Antoni. He is likely to join hands with his mentor to create a brand new "Bombard 2.0" system.

I believe that this bombardment 2.0 system must be one of the fastest and most suitable magic ball tactics in the small ball era.

At the end of halftime, the Lakers and the Nets tied at 56.

Fans all over the world were taken aback by the performance of the Nets.

The Nets have improved very quickly this year.

They have transformed from the eighth playoff underdog in the Eastern Conference last season to become a strong Eastern Conference team that can fight the Lakers for half a game without falling behind.

This change may surprise fans of the New Jersey Nets.

An excellent head coach can indeed bring obvious improvement to the team. The combination of Nash and D'Antoni is likely to be the prelude to the rise of the Nets.

During the intermission, Nash and D'Antoni discussed the Nets' tactics for the new season together.

Nash and D'Antoni have great trust in each other, so they don't need to weigh at all when they communicate.

D'Antoni said: "Steve, player diversity is very important. In today's league, positionless basketball is becoming more and more trendy."

Nash said with a smile: "The fans will definitely look forward to the starting lineup composed of Irving, Joe Harris, DeAndre Jordan, and Dinwiddie. It's just that I think I may disappoint the fans."

D'Antoni also smiled: "Tell me, what you think, and see if you can think of it with me."

Nash: "I think Jordan and Garrett Allen can be discarded. As you said, non-position players are what we need most. Both of them are traditional centers and have an impact on our new tactics."

D'Antoni laughed out loud:

"Steve, you really learned everything from me, good job! Do you have any new goals next?"

Nash's eyes were obviously a little darker at this time.

"Yes, there is, but that person's Achilles tendon is broken, and he doesn't know how many levels of strength he can display in the future."

D'Antoni naturally knew who the lover was talking about.

This person is naturally Durant who played for the Raptors.

Durant is getting old, and after his Achilles tendon rupture, how much strength he can recover after his comeback is a question worth looking forward to.

"You want to bet? I support you! Taking advantage of Durant's ruptured Achilles tendon, it is our best chance to make an offer for Durant to the Raptors now."

Nash nodded: "Yes, in my system, Durant is the most suitable candidate to play the "center". He is naturally the strongest No. 5 prepared for my new tactics."

D'Antoni babbled, obviously he recognized Nash's ideas very much.

"Ho Ho Ho, God, look at what kind of apprentice I have taught, he is a lunatic like me. Let Durant play the center, hehehe... a strange story through the ages..."

The 15-minute break passed quickly, and the athletes of the two teams returned to the field.

"The game in the first half really exceeded our expectations. Irving of the Nets showed incredible passing ability. Whoever said Irving can't pass the ball, Irving proved to us at this moment. As long as he is willing to pass the ball to his teammates, the passing level is almost master level."

The live shots were shown to Irving, and the live commentary continued to say passionately: "Now, I can't wait to see the match between the two teams in the second half."

Commentators are actually fans who are more professional than fans, and their emotions will also be mobilized by the excitement of the game.

From this point of view, commentators are no different from fans.

"I think Ge Feng will definitely respond more in the second half. He had few bright spots in the first half. It seems that he is preparing his energy for the second half of the game."

At this moment, Ge Feng was shown on the scene.

Ge Feng's face was very serious, obviously he was also shocked by the tenacity and progress shown by the Nets.

Coming up is the Nets' first attack.

Frequent halftime adjustments, Nash actually put Jordan off the court and let Jeff Green come off the bench.

Jeff Green is a new signing of the Nets in the off-season, an all-around striker with a function similar to Durant.

The fans' biggest impression of Jeff Green may be his defense against Durant in the playoffs.

In the 2017-18 season, the Spurs passed Jeff Green to greatly reduce the efficiency restricted by Durant, and the Spurs also took a 3-1 lead in the playoffs.

It's a pity that the scumbag's stepping that year ruined everything for the Spurs.

After that, Leonard left the Raptors, Jeff Green also lost the value of "Durant's nemesis", went around, and was finally spotted by Nash and came to the New Jersey Nets.

Jeff Green once had a highlight moment of stealing Durant, leading the audience, and dunking Durant every other time.

But Jeff Green's position on the field is unclear, which makes it difficult for Jeff Green to survive in other traditional teams.
