As the game is about to begin, both sides announced their starting lineups respectively.

Nets: Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, Pierce, Garnett, and Lopez the Big Big.

A set looks so starry-catching, and those who don’t even know it think it’s the All-Star game lineup.

The Wizards are: Wall, Thompson, George, Aldridge, and Gasol Jr.

The starting lineup sent by the Wizards and the Nets in this game is exactly the same as everyone's predictions before.

After all, the Wizards already have a unique offensive system, so Yang Fan will basically not adjust the starting lineup without the player being injured.

Even in some specific game occasions, Yang Fan will insist on using this lineup.

As for the Nets, there is no need to say much. Deron Williams, Joe Johnson and Lopez started last season, and the start of this season is also unshakable.

Although Garnett and Pierce are no longer at the peak, with their current fame, it is impossible for the coach to arrange for the substitute.

Because neither the team management nor Pierce and Garnett themselves would agree to this kind of thing.

As soon as the game started, the nets were the first to get the ball.

Since the Nets just formed this luxury battleship during the offseason, Kidd has not yet decided on a stable offensive system.

At least compared with the Wizards in front of you, the Nets are still in a stage of exploration and discussion.

I believe that the coaching staff led by Kidd is also watching to see what tactics this Nets is suitable for playing.

But there is one thing that is certain at present, that is, the Nets will take the initiative to slow down in the new season and strive to play an advantage in positional battles, rather than playing fast-paced games with other teams.

After all, Pierce is 36 years old and Garnett is 37 years old. If these two old bones are allowed to fight a fast-paced defensive counterattack, that is truly unreasonable.

On the offensive end, Joe Johnson and Pierce were the first to pull aside, allowing Deron Williams and Garnett to play the pick-and-roll at the high post.

No matter what, Deron Williams is the main controller of this team, and Garnett also has excellent pick-and-roll experience.

So before the Nets get along with each other and reach the best state, starting the offense from Deron Williams and Garnett is definitely the safest way to play.

From this point of view, we can still see that although Kidd has just entered the coaching industry, he has accumulated a lot of coaching experience in his mind. Although there are only theory at present, if you really want to talk about it, he is probably much better than most assistant coaches in the NBA.

With Garnett's pick-and-roll, Deron Williams began to break through from the right side. At the moment when the pick-and-roll was opened, Garnett did not go down, but instead raised the high position.

It seems that he is ready to receive the pass from Deron Williams at any time and then complete the shooting at mid-range.

Although Garnett's pick-and-roll delayed Wall on the defensive end, Wall's excellent movement speed still made him quickly stick to Deron Williams.

This also forced Deron to return the ball to Garnett, who was at the high position at the first time, otherwise he would continue to go deeper into the basket, and Deron would likely encounter a pincer attack from Wall and Gasol Jr.

Upon receiving the pass, Garnett looked up at the basket, and then completed the shot with his unique iron-blooded mid-range shot before Aldridge rushed up.

"Bang!"

With Garnett's mid-range shot, Gasol, who was under the basket, immediately protected the backcourt rebound.

After all, Lopez has poor rebounding ability, so bad that he ranks second to last among all center players who average more than 30 minutes per game in the league.

So Gasol, who has excellent franchise protection ability, easily protected the rebound and took the rebound. Gasol passed the ball to John Wall on the side immediately, and Wall led the team to launch a counterattack.

Wall, who got the ball, did not hesitate at all, and he directly buried his head and started sprinting, as if the matter of pushing a defensive counterattack had been engraved in Wall's bones, making Wall not need to think at all, and his body's subconscious reaction would initiate actions.

Wall, who is defending against the counter-attack, is amazing. I don’t know if it’s the illusion of fans, as if Wall this season is stronger than the previous two seasons.

Wall's excellent propulsion speed also immediately left Pierce and Garnett behind.

At the same time, the big center Lopez who was left behind was too late to return to defense, which led to the Wizards' chance to have a three-on-two in the frontcourt.

Facing Joe Johnson, who was fast retreating, Wall used a fake move to directly complete the pass.

Then as Deron Williams came to make up for defense, Wall threw the ball high into the sky.

When Wall threw the ball into the air, people discovered Paul George who suddenly rushed out from behind.

Paul George, who jumped into the air and took over the basketball in the air, smashed his hands into the basket with both hands, and completed a powerful and powerful air relay at the beginning, instantly driving the atmosphere of the Wizards at home.

After the air contact, Paul George relieved his strength by hanging the basket, and then slapped Wall with a smile on his face while retreating.

It seemed like I was saying, "Although I haven't practiced football together for a summer, I understand you!"

In the next period of time, the Nets were more focused on temptation on the offensive end. Yang Fan could clearly see that the Nets did not have a clear offensive focus on the court.

In other words, Deron Williams, Joe Johnson, Pierce or Garnett can complete the offense, but after really falling into the positional battle, the Nets, which seem to be able to complete the offensive end, became less comfortable.

This feeling is like there are too many stars who can play individually, so the Nets have no idea which player they should rely on to drive the rhythm on the court.

Take the Los Angeles Lakers as an analogy. It is easy for the Lakers team to clarify the offensive concept, that is, once the situation cannot be opened on the offensive end, the ball will be handed over to Kobe Bryant.

Let him use his personal ability to drive the offensive rhythm of the entire Lakers, or use Kobe's personal ability to drive the offensive participation of other teammates.

On the contrary, the biggest problem for the Nets at present is that they cannot clearly determine the offense. On the offensive end, whether it is Deron holding the ball or Joe Johnson holding the ball, both of them completed the end simply and roughly through pick-and-roll.

Either they make mid-range shots after pick-and-roll, or pass the ball to others to directly complete the shot. The entire team cannot see tactical execution or offensive threats.

In sharp contrast to this, the defending champion Wizards are naturally the defending champion. The Wizards' tactical running on the offensive end is very clear.

In the positional battle, Gasol Jr. will stand at a high position to hold the ball, and then the others will find opportunities through a large number of unball pick-and-rolls and cross-covers, striving to end every move without defense.

If you really can't get out the chance in the end, everyone will pull it away and hand it over to Aldridge, who has been on the right side for many years, allowing Aldridge to use his personal ability to turn over and jump shot.

Although this offensive method sounds very simple, this is the Wizards' current offensive core and is also an important factor in the Wizards' ability to win two consecutive championships.

It seems that the Wizards' tactics are mediocre, but when they really get on the court, people will find that the Wizards can remain calm at any stage.

The entire team appears orderly on both sides of the offense and defense, giving people the feeling that it is not the kind of fighting between the two, but rather a visual team feast.

After all, in order to create the ultimate offensive system of this Wizards, Yang Fan integrated the concepts of later generations of Malone coaching the Nuggets and Budenholzer coaching the Bucks. After two whole seasons, this Wizards became what they are today.

Yang Fan is still very accomplished about this. Although Yang Fan still draws on the tactical concepts of other coaches, the Wizards' current style of playing is definitely unique, and looking at the entire history, there is no second team like this.

In the whole first quarter, although the Nets wanted to win this game, the Nets were still at a disadvantage in the face of the Wizards who performed better overall.

At the end of the first quarter, the Wizards, who played at home, led the Nets by 8 points, ending the first quarter between the two sides with a nearly double-digit lead.

After returning from the second quarter, the two sides replaced the substitute lineup to compete.

It can be said that this stage is definitely Yang Fan’s favorite stage at present, because the Wizards’ lineup is very deep, and they can often achieve more advantages by relying on the performance of the second team at this time.

And this summer, the team strengthened Mo Williams and Kevin Martin one after another, Yang Fan absolutely maintained trust in the performance of the second team.

If you really want to talk about the flaw, the only flaw is the lack of organizational ability. Once the score on the field is behind, or the opponent catches up with the score for a short time through a hot shot.

The Wizards may face a trend of chaos, forcing Yang Fan to call for a timeout and re-arrange the game.

Back to the game, the Nets' second team is also not bad. The entire Nets are sitting on the bench with Jason Terry, Kirilenko, Brachi, Livingston, and Alan Anderson.

This level of substitute is enough to give the Nets a lot of rest time. As long as you don't encounter a perverted team like the Wizards, the Nets' second team can basically accept the game.

Unfortunately, the Wizards' substitute lineup is definitely a superb presence in the entire league.

Even though Yang Fan used the rotation method of all five main players in the first half of the second quarter, the Wizards still had a luxurious lineup like Mo Williams, Kevin Martin, Ray Allen, Guy, and Draymond Green on the court.

It is no exaggeration to say that if you meet the bottom teams in the league, you can use this second-team Wizards to have the strength to defeat it.

As for the reason why Yang Fan put the "Death Five" at this time and pushed Draymond Green to the fifth position, it was mainly because there was no center player with too outstanding strength on the Nets' bench.

Therefore, this lineup can maximize the offensive firepower of the Wizards, allowing Green to stand outside the three-point line, and call the opponent's center out of the penalty area, so that teammates can open the back door more easily through high-level support.

In other words, this lineup is almost unsolvable in terms of shooting ability and singles ability. Apart from its slightly inferior defensive ability, Yang Fan really couldn't think of any reason that he would not be able to beat the Nets.

In the second quarter, under the exclamation of the audience, this set of Death Five Elements burst out with incredible strength.

Especially when the opponent's big center is transferred out of the penalty area, this lineup can always get excellent scoring opportunities in different positions through unball pick-and-roll and cross-screen.

The Nets' second team was played around, and even if Kirilianko kept assisting in defense, he could not stop the Wizards' offensive firepower.

At the end of the half, the Wizards had expanded their lead to 15 points with their overall better team performance. It seemed that they were getting closer and closer to winning the game.

After returning from the second half, the Nets naturally would not give up. No matter what, this is also Kidd's first game in his career as a coach.

Although losing to the Wizards is not a shame, Kidd still wants to work hard to see if he can create miracles in the second half.

As a result, a miracle was really created in the second half, but this miracle did not happen to the Nets, but to the Wizards.

In the third quarter, John Wall played his bravely. Facing Deron Williams, who could still ravage him crazy last year's playoffs, Wall scored 19 points in the third quarter.

19 points not only set Wall's personal score record in a single quarter, but also allowed the Wizards to expand their lead to 23 points!

In the last quarter, Jason Kidd, who knew that there was no hope of winning, gave up and continued to struggle, directly sent the third team to the court to make a debut, officially announcing that the game had entered garbage time.

In the end, the whole game ended. Even if Yang Fan restrained a lot during garbage time, he asked the players to try his best to put some water for the Nets, so as not to let Kidd lose so ugly in his first coaching game.

But the Wizards still beat the Nets 21 points in this game, and scored a "strong dialogue" that no one expected!

In the whole game, the Wizards' best performance must be John Wall. In addition to his 19-point solo performance in the third quarter, Wall also scored 44 points, 6 rebounds and 7 assists in the whole game.

Among them, 44 points broke Wall's personal scoring record, making this NBA opener and also a milestone in Wall's career.

In addition, the others performed well, including George 21 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 steals, Gasol Jr. 11 points, 13 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks, Martin 15 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist, and Draymond Green's 7 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, etc.

…………………………………

After the game, Yang Fan and Kid said goodbye to each other on the sidelines, and Kidd's expression was somewhat helpless. Kidd will still remember the first loss in his career.

"It turns out that I'm too optimistic. I was thinking that even if I lose at most, I will lose single digits, but in the end I lost so many points."

"If you didn't show mercy in the fourth quarter, I'm afraid the score difference would have to be more than 30 points."

"Why did I meet you in the opening game? You simply hit my confidence." Looking at Yang Fan, who had smiles on his face all year round, Kid felt helpless.

"Think about it, you have done a great job in coaching the game as a head coach for the first time."

"As for losing, don't care too much, after all, you will get used to losing."

Kidd: "???"
