Stockton and several other veterans had already noticed that the Nets had many problems.

If they continue playing haphazardly like this, they are very likely to lose to the Cavaliers. After all, there is no truly weak team in this league, and upsets happen frequently.

Gentry said, "The responsibility for these problems lies with me, not you!"

This surprised Scott. When he was a head coach before, the team would also lose, but when they lost, Scott would shift the blame to the players and rarely took the initiative to take responsibility like Gentry did.

"We will continue to use the simplest zone defense tactic, with everyone guarding their own position. The defensive focus is on Davis, and we also need to pay attention to James."

On offense, move around a lot, pass the ball frequently, and don't hesitate when you have a shooting opportunity. It's okay if you miss; just grab the rebound. If you can't get the ball, get back on defense.

It seems like I've said a lot...

It's like he didn't say anything at all...

Zone defense is something even a college player understands, let alone an NBA player.

When attacking, run more, pass more... How to run, how to pass, and to whom? Gentry doesn't explain this. Can playing like this really win games?

........

The second quarter began with Wei Guo resting on the sidelines.

The Nets played without any strategy... the Cavaliers continued to extend their lead.

Three minutes have passed.

29:37!!

The Nets are down by 8 points.

As Wei Guo got up and walked towards the scorer's table, Gentry said to Scott, "We're going to close the gap."

"Old Jin..."

Scott couldn't help but say, "You don't want to rely on Wei Ge alone forever, do you?"

Do you think one person can win the championship?

"cannot..."

"We also faced off in the Finals a few months ago. Did the Rockets have no strategy?"

"have..."

"I just want the team to expose all the problems as soon as possible, but we won't lose... because we have Wei Ge."

"Understood..."

Scott was no longer able to tell whether Gentry was brilliant or simply clueless.

........

Before Wei Guo entered the game, James had already returned to the court.

The fact that a rookie was a starter in his very first professional game and had so much playing time shows how much the Cavaliers value James.

The Nets are on offense.

Tyronn Lue dribbled the ball beyond the three-point line, Kenyon called for the ball under the basket, and as Kenyon received the ball, Wei Guo cut back from the paint to the three-point line, shouting, "Give me the ball!"

Tyronn Lue passed the ball to Kenyon, who then passed it to Wei Guo outside the three-point line. Wei Guo caught the ball and shot!

"Whoosh!!!"

The basketball went into the net.

32:37!!

The Nets are down by 5 points.

Then...

Wei Guo intercepted the passes from Davis and Ilgauskas, dribbled past both players, and made a bounce pass to Kiddles, who easily scored with a layup.

34:37!!

"So comfortable..."

Kidds made a move instinctively, and the ball ended up in his hands.

The Nets made it to the Finals last season thanks to their teamwork, but so far the game has been a mess, with brilliant plays like those between Wei Guo and Kiddles becoming increasingly rare.

Cavaliers on offense!

James drives to the basket, and Kenyon moves to the side of the court.

With one step away from Kenyon, James jumped and attacked the basket over Kenyon!

"Bang!!!"

A powerful dunk sent Kenyon sprawling!

The referee didn't blow the whistle... Kenyon got up from the floor, a hint of anger in his eyes. He was going to teach this rookie a lesson!

The commentator shouted, "Are you kidding me???"

This line often appears in Wei Guo's story... Even though James dunked on his own teammate, Wei Guo greatly appreciated it.

James' performance was not over yet!

Tyronn Lue was dribbling when James stole the ball from him. Seeing James take the ball and launch a fast break, Tyronn Lue stomped his feet in anger.

...

The Cavaliers are on fire, with James leading the team in shot attempts.

Besides James... Davis's playmaking and offense were also not to be underestimated. Boozer and Ilgauskas guarded the paint, and the Nets' several attacks under the basket were affected.

and...

A relatively unknown young Cavaliers player, Bremer, has already made 6 of 8 three-point attempts.

With the game in the fourth quarter, the Nets were down by 13 points!

James became more and more excited as the game progressed. This was a gift from his older brother. If he could beat Wei Guo, James would surely become famous overnight!

"Our problems have been pretty much exposed..."

Gentry said to Scott, "Seven minutes left, it's up to you...you set up the tactics."

Scott, "???"

Isn't this just passing the buck? At the beginning of the game, you let the team play haphazardly, and now the rhythm is a complete mess, and you expect me to come up with tactics?

"The Nets are calling a timeout!"

Gentry called a timeout and said to the players, "Wei, Kiddels, Jefferson, Kenyon, Collins, you guys play for the last 7 minutes. Coach Scott will decide on the tactics."

"Um???"

Scott's eyes lit up. "Great!!!"

Isn't this the same starting lineup that the Nets had last season, except that Kidd was replaced by Wei Guo?

Scott said, "Wei, you'll be playing point guard next!"

"good!"

Wei Guo nodded in agreement.

Scott gave Wei Guo a grateful look. As the league's top player, he had no airs whatsoever. He played point guard when asked, and Scott said, "Everyone knows our tactics from last season. Let's just run the ball around like before..."

This tactic is familiar to everyone, except that the league's top point guard, Kidd, has been replaced by Wei Guo.

When Wei Guo was with the 76ers, the Nets and the 76ers met in the playoffs. At that time, Wei Guo was the point guard for the 76ers. These guys were all witnesses to how Kidd was dominated by Wei Guo. Everyone firmly believed that Wei Guo would do even better than Kidd.

........

After the timeout, the Nets walked confidently onto the court.

Wei Guo dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, waved to signal his teammates to run, and dribbled towards the weak side. Jefferson set an off-ball screen for Kenyon, and Kenyon drove to the basket.

Wei Guo tossed the ball over the basket.

"Bang!!!"

Kenyon completes an alley-oop and scores with a dunk!

Don't underestimate this player; Kenyon, like Yao Ming and LeBron James, was also a number one draft pick.

83:94!!

The Nets are down by 11 points.

"Defense!"

Wei Guo led his teammates back to defend, and pointed to a spot at the bottom corner, saying to Kiddles, "Watch that spot, James might pass the ball to the bottom corner."
