Again?
Kidd took the backpass and missed the layup. Mutombo was about to grab the rebound, but Duke was one step ahead and blocked him behind him. His movements were very fast.
What was even more frustrating was that as long as he was stuck in a position, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move Duke at all.
The rebound was once again picked up by Duke and passed to Jordan.
His wingspan is longer than yours, his footsteps are more agile than yours, he can jump higher than you, and his strength is even stronger than yours…
Mutombo glared at Duke with anger in his eyes.
Damn it!
This kid was too difficult to deal with!
In the front field, Jordan, Stackhouse, and Hughes worked together, but in the end, Hughes smashed the basket.
Mutombo rushed in to grab the rebound, but Duke came again.
He suddenly stepped in from the side and squeezed into Uncle Mu's position. As he reached out to block the latter, his body leaned over.
Uncle Mu tried his best again, but he still couldn't move.
Therefore, he was so angry that he wanted to throw Duke away.
"Beep!"
His action was caught by the referee.
Not only was he robbed of his position, but he also lost a foul. Mutombo was even angrier and left the basket angrily.
The Wizards kicked off again, and he had to continue to defend against Duke alone. However, before he could get into position, Duke quickly ran to the basket.
"Clang!"
Almost as soon as the ball arrived, Jordan discovered Duke's chance to slip past the end line and accurately passed it from the opposite side.
Another missed catch was completed.
The fans were thrilled!
When did a genius have such an explosive air catch performance?
That was a common occurrence between the Nets and the Los Angeles Clippers.
It was because the Los Angeles team had O'Neal and Kobe, who could attract defense.
The Nets, on the other hand, could only rely on Kidd's planning and coordination to lead Martin to dunks.
Now, the Wizards were shamelessly playing this kind of offensive mode. It had to be said that it felt great to have a strong inside lane.
The presence of a star in the backfield gave the players more opportunities to play inside. When opportunities appeared, players had to be able to seize them. Duke was clearly able to seize these opportunities.
In this way, the pressure on the backfield was released.
Jordan had taken the right step in taking control of the organization.
With Duke, Stackhouse, and Hughes, he did not have to play too many individual attacks like last season.
With more scoring points in the team, the pressure to score was reduced, and he could do more.
The next ball proved this fact.
When Jordan lobbed the ball to Duke again, Stackhouse and Hughes weaved in and out of position. He was able to slip down from the middle, and Duke passed the ball back to him again.
"Swoosh!"
Jordan followed suit and easily killed the basket to score again.
The Nets were in trouble!
From the Wizards 'smooth offense in the first quarter, the many points, and Duke's occasional slipping from the end line, it was difficult for them to focus on one of them.
As long as they surrounded one, they would definitely miss out on the others.
The scary thing was that Duke's presence under the basket made it easier to miss people.
And don't forget about Leitner, a former member of Dream Team One…
With Duke inside, he only needed to open up space and pull the defense. His precise shooting ability could always be found by Jordan.
The Wizards had too many scoring points. The Nets 'defense could not defend against the experienced Jordan, as well as the talented Stackhouse and Duke.
When halftime came, the Nets realized that they were already 15 points behind.
42:57！
Hit you? Hit you!
Not to mention anything else, Mutombo's point under the basket was completely blown away by Duke.
In a situation where the defensive rim could not be guaranteed, it was difficult for Kidd's offense to make up for the lost points.
The home stadium was as passionate as fire, and the deafening cheers boiled as the players entered the players 'tunnel.
"Heavens! We actually suppressed the overall runner-up, this is unbelievable!”
“wow!!! We look more like a championship team than the Nets.”
"Michael sent out 10 assists in the first half. What's going on?”
"Duke's existence has liberated too many things. Michael doesn't have to be like last year, chipping away at each point. God, I love Duke so much. Look, he had already gotten 14 points and 11 rebounded, and he had a double-double in the first half. The Nets 'big bamboo pole couldn't stop him at all.”
"Du has 14 points, Kristen has 8 points. Our inside line is so luxurious.”
The home fans were in high spirits and sighed repeatedly. Duke's arrival was like a yacht under construction. With the keels and Jordan's helm to control the direction, the team suddenly braved the wind and waves and marched forward bravely.
"The Nets are in danger! The Wizards took advantage of their weakness in the paint and beat them up. In the match between Dick and Duke, the latter easily gained the upper hand. If this team from last year's finals didn't adjust, what awaited them would be a crushing defeat.”
T,N,T's famous commentator, Marv Albert, had begun to look down on the New jersey Nets after seeing the game play like this.
Tonight, the team's defense had been completely dismembered by the prodigies. They couldn't form a reliable defense line.
Kidd was known for not attacking. His defense, to a certain extent, could not make up for the points his opponent scored on him.
In the opponent's third position, there was also Jordan, who was experienced and had endless scoring methods. They still did not have anyone who could match up to him.
His old partner, Mike Fratello, took over the topic and said,""It's very difficult. It's really difficult. The Wizards are no longer the team that could beat them last season just by limiting the perimeter. This year, they had a new rising star, Duke. If they couldn't restrict the latter, they could only let the Wizards cut their points.”
"If they were that easy to control, Shaq wouldn't have been able to do whatever he wanted in the finals in June.”
"The Nets, who got Dick Dickenbay in the new season, still haven't solved the problem of the inside line offense. No one can compete with the talented Duke Jr.”
" Duke might have only played three games, but it looks like he's already playing like a star inside the paint. Isn't this another double-double in one half?"
"Whether or not Dikembe is willing to admit it, he will be pressed to the ground by Duke tonight!”
