The Godfather of Basketball

Vol 2 Chapter 769: Fifteenth person Derek Rose

One game's swing doesn't explain anything, but Kuzma's ability to seize opportunities is very strong. In the next two games, he scored 9 points and 4 rebounds and 12 points and 3 rebounds.

In these games, he not only showed the characteristics of his shooting stability, but also exposed the ball-handled offense and low back play, and these skills are good.

After Tucker returned from his injury, Tang Tian was a bit reluctant to transfer him out for rotation.

He expanded the original 1o rotation to 11 people, and Kuzmaco was three and four, still getting a lot of playing time.

The Nets are getting more mature and the record is rising.

The moment came to March 1st. On this day, the alliance ushered in the last critical time node, the buyout deadline.

Both Tang Tian and Jones are staring at this market. Although the rotation of the team is enough or even a little surplus now, no one can predict such things as injury and state, and add another veteran with playoff experience. No harm to the team.

This year's buyout market is a bit hilarious.

Both the Nets and the Rockets are the teams most likely to beat the Warriors, and they both expressed their intention to sign in the buyout market, and there are naturally more players seeking buyouts.

Cory Brewer of the Lakers, Greg Monroe of the Suns, Brandon Wright of the Grizzlies, Joe Johnson and Derrick Rose of the Jazz, Tony Allen of the Bulls, Belinelli of the Eagles and so on.

Among these people, with the exception of Monroe, the others almost expressed their willingness to play for the Nets in private.

This is completely understandable. These veterans have never won the NBA championship ring. The Warriors have no shortage of people. The Nets are the most likely to beat the Warriors. They naturally follow.

Tang Tian didn't focus on these people. Now the Nets need a number four with playoff experience, but shortly after the buyout deadline, the team had an unexpected situation.

Irving had a discomfort on his knee.

In the previous life, Irving was reimbursed for a knee injury season after joining the Celtics, so Tang Tian had been cautious about using Irving because Rondo was there, and he could do it.

But Irving was still hurt.

The good news is that this is not a season-level injury like the previous life. You only need to rest for 1 to 2 months to fully recover.

1 to 2 months, almost the first round of the playoffs.

The recovery time was acceptable, and Tang Tian was not in a hurry to use the honor point, anyway, for him, the second half of the season itself is mainly based on rotation adjustment.

But Irving's accidental injury changed his goal in the buyout market.

Rondo and Murray have enough point lines, but it's safer to sign a third point guard for insurance reasons.

After screening the wave of buyout players, Tang Tian finally asked Jones to contact Rose's economic team.

Rose is basically in a state where nobody needs it, and some fans are still booing because he has been cut.

After getting inquiries from the Nets, he agreed without a word.

He has been fighting for the championship throughout his career, and now has such a good opportunity, he has no reason to refuse.

Soon, the two sides reached a one-year salary contract, signed to the end of the season.

Rose became the last signing for the Nets before the playoffs.

Speaking of the offseason, Tang Tian chose the latter between Ross and Rondo, but did not expect that they would all be in the team in the end.

After signing Rose, the Nets' playoff roster is also determined.

Point guards: Irving, Rondo, Dezente Murray, Rose

Shooting guards: Jimmy Butler, Donovan Mitchell, Wade

Small forwards: Paul George, pj Tucker

Power forwards: Yi Jianlian, Markkanen, Kuzma

Centers: Jokic, Oden, Willy Reid

In the 15-member roster, if these players are all peaks, there is no need to play in the finals, and you can directly give the Nets championship ring.

But that was just some fantasy. Both Wade and Rose were at the end of their careers. They did n’t have much combat power. The regular rotation played with the Warriors.

After determining the playoff roster, the next two months will be completely running-in and tune-up for the Nets.

Tang Tian won't just insist on the record. The Nets' record now is enough for them to secure the top spot in the Eastern Conference. He has no need to do so.

Irving was injured and Rondo naturally became the point guard.

After the Bulls were forced to make a three-pointer last season, although his current three-pointer is still not very reliable, it is also close to the level of the league. Opponents really dare to let him, and he can really make a three-pointer.

He can also help Jokic share some of the organizational pressure, and the effect is not bad.

Rondo played, and the biggest benefit was still Murray. He has followed Delong and Rondo in the past two years and learned a lot ~ www.readwn.com ~ now he has the opportunity to show, and he has fully shown it.

Excellent defense, stable offensive mid-range, fierce rebounding, strong reading ability, coupled with being a tall point guard, this is a young version of Livingston.

Like Murray, Tang Tian started to give young players some necessary exercises in these games.

Markkanen and Kuzma also got more appearances.

These are all players who might be useful in the playoffs.

Of course, in addition to young players, veterans such as Wade and Rose also get opportunities to play.

Tang Tian doesn't have much requirements for their performance. The main purpose is to let them find the feeling and state first in the game.

If you really reach the finals and meet the four-star warriors, the series will definitely be a round of battle. It is really hard to say how much strength young players can play in that situation. At that time, they will need their veterans to be able to peak Go up, so it is necessary to maintain the necessary state.

Rose's knee seems to be recovering well. Although the defense is still not good, the offense feels good. The occasional flash breakthrough can make him see his peak moment.

Wade is the most surprising. Although he has been playing in the Cavaliers for half a season, his competitive status has remained high, and his defense and fast break, and even his shooting are very good.

Tang Tian even felt that given a hand, he averaged a dozen points per game is not a problem.

The veteran of this age can still have this state, and it can be seen that Wade has made a lot of efforts that others can't see.

Powerful, young players are full of talent, veterans are in excellent form.

After spending the last two months of the regular season, Tang Tian also has more confidence in the team's victory over the Warriors.
