After the Wizards won the Orlando Magic match away in Orlando, they quickly moved to the next place.

The next game is still away.

Unfortunately, the Wizards' away trip was quite difficult and their opponents were also quite strong.

The Wizards soon started the next away game again. Their opponent is the New Jersey Nets.

That's right, it's the Nets that are now queuing behind the Wizards to eat their exhaust.

The New Jersey Nets are right, and now they are the second-ranked team in the East.

They came to 5 games behind the Wizards.

Originally, they were wandering around in three or four games, but the Nets could not catch up no matter how hard they chased, and the Wizards even widened some gap.

The Nets' pursuit momentum has always been quite fierce, but the Washington Wizards, who have been at the top of the Eastern Conference for a long time, are also fierce. The Nets are winning streak, so why isn't the Wizards like this?

In such a top two in the Eastern Conference, experts and media people are optimistic about the Washington Wizards.

...

Before the game, players from both teams met off the court.

Nets' big man Keith Van Horn suddenly came over.

Keith Van Horn has always been showing a very happy face, and he looks very relaxed and at ease.

However, Christine Leitner unveiled the other party's disguise in person.

"Man, it seems that you are not doing well with the Nets."

Both big guys and both technical models of big centers, Keith Van Horn and Christine Leitner are treated very differently in the Nets and the Wizards.

Keith Van Horn is really not living very well with the Nets now.

In the past, Keith Van Horn was quite casual at the Nets, but in the past two years, the Nets' record has improved, but his tactical status has declined significantly year by year.

This season, the Nets' record has been greatly improved, and it is indeed very outstanding.

However, Keith Van Horn's personal performance and data did slip too significantly.

Since the Nets traded Jason Kidd, the way the Nets play has changed.

The Nets' ball rights are basically in the hands of the newcomer Jason Kidd.

All the resources of the Nets began to favor Kidd, and Kidd suddenly became the absolute and newest and cornerstone of the Nets' team building.

Jason Kidd's organizational pass brought unrecognizable to the Nets, oh, no, it should be said to be a drastic change.

The ball he passed led to the team's performance.

Especially the top scorer, Kenyon Martin!

Kenyon Martin can be said to be the one who benefits the most because of Kidd.

Many of Kid's passes were fed to Kenyon Martin, who had strong athletic ability.

Martin is like Little S, who is athletic talent leveraged.

Such a big man is flexible and talented, and is the point guards' favorite pick-and-roll partner.

However, the main scorer of the principle of Keith Van Horn became dispensable after Kidd arrived, and even said it was a bit cumbersome.

Keith Van Horn is not a flexible and super athletic player like Martin. He is tall and his skills are high, but he is slow.

He is too slow to get out of Kidd's pick-and-roll style.

Of course, Kidd's choice is Martin.

Neither of the Nets had come before, Kidd nor Martin. At that time, the Nets had teams with Van Horn and Marbury as the core.

Even Van Horn vaguely beat Marbury in terms of scoring.

Both of them scored about 20 points at the time.

But, what about now?

Keith Van Horn looked at his poor statistics and felt a little cold.

Keith Van Horn now averages only about 14.5 points per game.

Keith Van Horn's playing time has now been reduced to about 28 minutes. In the previous season, that season, wasn't he playing time thirty-six or seven minutes?

Now he is no longer such an important role in the Nets.

There is no way, now this is the second-ranked Nets in the East, which is no longer the same as before.

Without the lone wolf Marbury, the Nets have become more talented.

Now, there are so many players that can be used on the Nets.

The Nets' current head coach is Byron Scott.

Scott's tactical and play arrangements have no characteristics. The only feature that is more like a characteristic is the human sea tactics.

Scott's style of playing is to get as many players as possible on the Nets.

Use the abundant physical strength of your players to impact the opponent's physical energy and consume a lot of players, and always ensure that the Nets players on the court have sufficient physical energy to deal with any opponent's attacks and defenses.

Such tactics are a bit bold, but in some famous schools of NCAA, such a style of play is very common, and it is also very luxurious and easy to use.

You have so many talented players, why should you stay below and pile them up? Of course, you have to put them all on the court and use them well.

By looking at the Nets' record now, you can tell that the tactical arrangements of Nets head coach Scott are indeed very effective.

From not being a key team in the playoffs before to being the second in the Eastern Conference now, this is a qualitative leap.

This is because the competition here is so fierce that Van Horn feels a little overwhelmed and weak.

Powerful and nowhere to be used!

This is the most intuitive feeling of All-Star player Keith Van Horn now.

On the basketball team, he even felt a little neglected now.

Everyone is thinking about getting a starting opportunity and getting more playing time.

However, there are only five positions on the court and only 48 minutes in a game. It is impossible for anyone to really get so many opportunities.

Of course, facing Christine Leightner, Keith Van Horn did not express his truest thoughts.

He only met Christine Leitner, and he was just a person he could talk to, not a stranger or a friend.

"Well, no, no, I'm still very happy with the Nets. At least now our Nets are the second team in the East. Second in the East, this is our best result in recent years. Of course, if we continue, we will give up. You Wizards are ahead of us, but we will definitely seize every opportunity to surpass us. You guys are waiting."

"hen~" Christine Leitner just smiled softly, and then patted Van Horn on the shoulder to show comfort.

Next, for the Nets, you should do it yourself.

No one can help you, you are the only one who can help you.

Christine Laitner was about to leave, but Keith Van Horn walked up quickly and stopped Christine Laitner again.

"Hey, Christine, you just say this a few words? You are so unfaithful, right? I'm not in a good situation now."

As for what to say, what Keith Van Horn wants to hear is of course: 'For example, Keith, you are the genius we Wizards want, join us. This bad team in the Nets is not worthy of you.'

Of course, he must have not said what Keis Van Horn said in his heart.

Van Horn just looked at Christine Leitner with great anticipation.

"Ah? Didn't you just say it yourself? You said it yourself, you're fine, why are you in trouble again now?"

Christine Leitner never stopped himself, he just kept walking towards the locker room in the arena.

Of course, he said some comfort words that he felt was pretty good.

"Kiss, you are already an adult, and now it's not the time for college, elementary and middle school. You are an adult. There are many things you need to think of yourself. If you rely on others for everything, then what's the difference between you and a child? In that case, what else do you play professional basketball? Go home."

Is this a word of comfort?

Keith Van Horn couldn't help but feel a little angry, but he was not angry, just looking at the other person angrily.

"Kristen, it's wrong for you to do this. Is comforting like this? If it's okay, you can't say more good things to me. After all, we will meet each other, so will we treat me like this? Isn't it kind of kindness?"

Christine Leitner smiled and turned his head again

"Although I really want to remind you, it won't work now."

"Why?"

"Are you stupid? We are opponents now. You are the Nets, I am the Wizards. Today, we will never stop! You Nets want to surpass our Wizards? Don't even think about it!"

"We can't beat you? Humph, Kristen, don't talk too early. Although we are second, we have defeated the Western Conference strong teams. You young players are nothing in our eyes. Look, even if I don't play today, our Nets will easily overturn you to the ground."

Christine Laitner heard something in Keith Van Horn's words, but he didn't care at all.

"Haha, then you probably won't be able to wait for that opportunity, what a pity."

‘Hmph, let’s see!’

...
