The way Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals ended, with Vince Carter fumbling the ball out of bounds, unable to get off a final shot with Eric Snow guarding him, played a part in the decision. The way Game 6, the season ender, went with Carter unable to go off with Damon Jones guarding him, also played a part. The final offensive play in the Round 1, Game 6 clincher, when Carter was a decoy and Richard Jefferson scored over Chris Bosh to give the Nets the lead, was a factor. Coach Lawrence Frank saw that the Nets were too reliant upon Carter offensively , felt they would be better, more dangerous, tougher to figure out if other players got involved. So, on the first day of training camp Tuesday, Frank inserted his new offense, which has more movement, less straight pick-and-rolls, and the spreading of the wealth, so to speak. Who will it affect the most? Carter. He won't have as many straight pick-and -rolls and post ups. Who couldn't care in the least? Carter. (At least at this point.) "You can score without having the ball in your hands as well, whatever works," Carter said. "Right now we're just trying to win games and go as far as possible. If they feel that's the way we have to go, let's do it." A few years back, Frank changed up the offense, but Jefferson said it was a little confusing to the players. No one has complained about it yet. The leaders - Jason Kidd and Carter - seem to be for it, and that's really the most important thing. "Everyone's agreeable now - by and large," Frank said. "We haven't played a game. We haven't lost a game. The key is, if you lose a couple games, do you [waver]? Look, we're staying the course. "This is how we're going to play. We're not going to be a stagnant team. We' re still taking advantage of people's special skills. It's not like Carter or Jefferson has to take a backseat. We still know what they do best. We're going to put them in positions (to score), but it's going to be preceded by movement." Frank said he hasn't changed things drastically through five practices. He called them "real minor tweaks" and said that he's put in "probably three new sets." The Nets coach just wants more "flow" in the offense before it becomes a pick-and-roll, post-up or isolation. Frank also wants more transition baskets. With Jamaal Magloire, the best big man rebounder the Nets have had since Kenyon Martin, they should be able to run more. Defense is a major point emphasis, too. Getting a point guard like Darrell Armstrong to pressure the ball all the way up the court should help there. On the surface, these changes seem to have the Nets going back in time to their most successful era, but Frank is adding his own wrinkle, his own style. When the Nets won the East in 2001 and 2002, they ran the Princeton offense, which was predicated entirely on moving without the ball, reading and reacting. Guys like Kerry Kittles excelled at it. Kidd, of course, was the catalyst, and Jason Collins' knowledge of where to be and setting the screen to free up the shooter shouldn't be under-appreciated. Going back to some concepts of that fits this group. It's better built for Jefferson, who is not as good in pick-and-rolls and post-ups. Kidd is the master and Collins knows his role and plays it perfectly, which is why you should expect him to retain his starting job. Can't tell you how many times I've heard Collins "doesn't make any game-plan mistakes." So on Day 1, Frank threw the new wrinkles at the players. He scrimmaged on the first day for the first time, hoping it leads to a better start to the season, and he showed them parts of the new offense. "It keeps the ball moving," Kidd said. "There's not a lot of pounding, which is good. "I think anytime you move in this league it gives you a chance to win. When it goes from one side to the other teams can't load up on you." All the other guys should have no problems with it. The young guys will do whatever Frank asks. The new guys will follow suit, and the guys who were here during the Eastern Conference championship know the deal. Carter has to be the one to buy in, and watching him and listening to him, it appears he has. "It's going to be interesting," Carter said. "Now there's going to be a lot of looks for everybody, a lot of movement for teams trying to guard me a particular way. We can go back to the post-ups and pick-and-rolls and all that stuff as well. Just give them a variety of things, so you have to prepare for a lot of things now. "Now you have to guard me with the ball in my hands and you have to guard me without the ball in my hands as well as RJ and JKidd. There's a lot of movement for everybody. The key will be, as Frank said, how everyone responds if the Nets lose some games. *** Armstrong should be here for one of the Friday practices provided he passes a physical. The veteran will back up Kidd, whose minutes the Nets hope to cut again this year. They needed another point after Marcus Williams had foot surgery that will keep him out 6-8 weeks. But the Nets wanted a third point guard anyway. 這篇報導算是滿有正面意義的，同時各位可以參考不才小弟於7/3所寫的"很多疑問" 這篇報導的出現讓我的疑問獲得了解答 籃網於上個球季進攻上過度依賴VC和pick and roll，個人認為和NK受傷不無關係 各位如果有印象，我不只一次批評pick and roll比例太高 NK回陣，籃網將有三個以上可以在今年MO系統中發揮得分威力的球員 當然，如果Allan Houston來那是更美的事 這個球季，JK的腳色將更形吃重，控球後衛的替補重要性不言可喻 D.Armstrong的加盟算是很合理的補強 簡單的說，讓球動起來就是今年很重要的課題 這個系統的最大受益者將是RJ，不一定是績效的增加，而是至少進攻的定位上相形重 要，希望AW也可以及早適應... VC能否適應是非常關鍵的，但這也是不得不然的改變 這套系統對於VC或許會有得分上的抑制，在這裡先幫他講一點話(免得有不合身價的批評) 這套系統在我看來是一面倒的正面，但是也非得成功不可 籃網在幾年前擅打這樣的球賽，現在能不能是個問號，但我有信心 當然，只有進攻的改變是不夠的，同時說和做是兩回事，且讓我們拭目以待 同時期待Allan Houston的到來，來吧來吧! --
