Before welcoming the Golden State Warriors, the Nets lost the game.

The Nets lost to the San Antonio Spurs.

The reason is that in this back-to-back away game, Yi Tian and Bynum both chose to rest.

This disappointed Popovich, who was well prepared and wanted to meet the Nets for a while.

During the offseason, the Spurs uncharacteristically introduced Aldridge with a generous maximum salary.

They rarely pay the luxury tax.

After GDP gradually aged, Popovich decided to build a team around the core of Leonard and Aldridge.

After experiencing the run-in at the beginning of the season, the Spurs gradually entered the state.

And winning the Nets is undoubtedly the best way to announce the strong return of the Spurs to the entire league.

For this reason, Popovich studied the Nets' style of play in depth, but the sudden rotation of the Nets made Popovich punch empty.

Is the Nets without Yitian still the Nets?Moreover, even Bynum did not play.

After the game, Popovich said in an interview: "To be honest, I am a little disappointed. I didn't expect that Yi Tian and Andrew didn't play. It doesn't mean much to win like this."

When asked by a reporter: "Do you feel that the Nets are deliberately avoiding the Spurs?"

Popovich responded: "Who knows?"

In contrast, the general manager of the Spurs, Brian Wright, said very sharply: "They (the Nets) are afraid of being defeated by us, so they deliberately take turns to rest."

This directly annoyed the fans of the Nets, and the fans rushed to Brian Wright's social media:

"Who gave you the courage to be so rude to the defending champion?"

"When did the Spurs have such a bad guy?"

"You're so stupid, does Gregg Popovich know?"

"When will the Spurs be able to rush out of the West and say these words!"

"I hope to see you all in this year's finals, Yi will blow you away!"

"Stop talking, you can't beat the Golden State Warriors!"

This episode did not affect the Nets' preparations.

Last season, with the opportunity to break the Bulls' record of 72 wins, the Nets did not force it.

After winning the championship, the entire Nets team has become more mature.

The long regular season is like a long-distance race, and they don't care about this so-called record at all.

The NBA All-Star Game also started the first round of voting.

This is the last season of Kobe Bryant's 20-year career, and fans are frantically voting for Kobe.

According to real-time voting statistics, Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant is far ahead.

Bryant's votes reached a staggering number, almost No.2 LeBron - James twice.

Kobe Bryant will receive a warm welcome every time he goes to an away game this season. Many teams have sent commemorative videos for Kobe.

The games Kobe participated in were packed and tickets were hard to come by.

Such popularity made O'Neill exclaim: "This is simply a retirement tour. It's too shocking. I really envy this guy!"

Yi Tian's votes are comparable to James, and the starting position of the All-Star is also not worth running.

game in January.

The Nets have been hit by some injuries. Eric Gordon will continue to be absent for a period of time with a torn labrum in his left shoulder in the game against the Magic, and his return time is uncertain.

Bynum also missed three games because of water in his knee.

Fortunately, the Nets' lineup is deep enough, and their record has not been greatly affected.

So far, the Nets have lost a total of 5 games, and Yi Tian missed 4 of them.

The only game Yi Tian lost was the away game against the Bulls.

In that game, amidst the cheers of the home fans, Derrick Rose and Jimmy Butler went crazy.

Rose scored 43 points and Butler scored 32 points.

Bynum and Gordon are absent for the Nets.

"Antetokounmpo" lost himself under the tough defense of the Bulls.

The Nets players are not in good condition, and the basket seems to be covered.

The same is true for Yi Tian. In the first three quarters, his three-pointers were only 9 out of 2!

Yi Tian could only adjust his style of play and began to constantly attack the Bulls' inside line.

It's just that the offense of the Bulls is also very violent, Derrick Rose rushed the inside of the Nets to pieces.

In the end, the Nets lost 14 points away.

Although Yi Tian scored 32 points, his efficiency was not high.

After the game, a reporter asked Yi Tian: "Did the Bulls defeat the Nets give hope to many teams in the league?"

Yi Tian smiled and said: "Not every team has Derrick Rose. It's not that the Nets' defensive strength has declined. Today's Derrick Rose is too strong."

"In addition!" Yi Tian added: "Today, our condition is very poor, next time you will see us differently."

A week later, the Nets played against the Bulls at home.

Yi Tian used his actions to show everyone what it means to do what you say.

From the first minute of the game, Yi Tian was on full fire. Throughout the first half, Yi Tian made 1 crazy shots, 21 of 21 shots, 16 of 8 three-pointers, 5 of 5 free throws, and scored 5 points.

At halftime, the Nets led the Bulls by 21 points.

In the third quarter, Yi Tian continued to attack violently, leading the team to play a wave of 13 to 2!

The game goes straight to garbage time.

Yi Tian scored 51 points in less than three quarters.

In the end, the Nets beat the Bulls by 42 points at home.

Yi Tian had the perfect revenge with his crazy performance.

Talk about your performance after the game.

Yi Tian said: "This is my first 50+ this season. Compared with last season, I put more energy on organization and defense.

Not getting a high score doesn't mean I can't get it, but I don't need to get it.

Besides scoring, I can help the team in other ways. "

In an interview, Rose said with a wry smile: "Today's Yi is too strong, and we tried everything we could to prevent him."

Butler also expressed respect for Yi Tian. He believed that Yi Tian was a real man, and his performance at critical moments was indeed tough enough.

The media in New York also began to build momentum for Yi Tian, ​​who believed that Yi Tian would be the mvp of the regular season.

It is worth mentioning that the Nets have maintained a record of winning at home this season.

Barclays Center was portrayed by the New York media as an impenetrable fortress.

Such a statement is indeed eye-catching.

Even the nba official also came to an end and opened a quiz:
