The new coach Hollins for Nets, following the first practice on Saturday, he made totally changings over Jason Kidd, and his scheme. He mentioned didn't want to watch  video what Kidd did the past, but he revamping in the training camp.

 

Hollins trying to develop a foundation of what we’re going to be defensively, and what they are trying to be offensively ready for this season.

 

The fourth starters Hollins choose them on Saturday were : Lopez, Kevin Garnett, Joe Johnson and Deron Williams. Andrei Kirilenko practiced with the starters, but he has the back pain as we found out he will be off this and next week. Lionel Hollins will be taking a stronger approach to practice.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Russian Player Andrei Kirilenko's Brooklyn (47)

The second day of the training Andrei has been in pain with back stiffens.
Last season he missed over 25 games during his spams problem, but that's is how he has been in pain for long term, 7-8 years.

Obviously it's not his fault he missed 25 games, as the sources of the Brooklyn forward mentioned to day that he will be out of the court for week or two.

Kirilenko coach has been given a huge support, but didn't have a consistent replacement to day on the second training day.

Brooklyn's first preseason game is Oct. 7 against Tel Aviv Maccabi of the Israeli league. The Nets then leave for China for two preseason games against the Kings.

At the following game on Sunday November 9 vs. Orlando Magic, Kirilenko didn't play
We asked him how is with his health and back problems, he mentioned perfectly fine.

Joe Johnson #Re2pect for Kidd

Veteran guard Joe Johnson took an apparent swipe at former coach Jason Kidd during the team’s media day session on Friday

 Kidd as his replacement with veteran Lionel Hollins, a move that seems to agree with several Nets player not too fund of Kidd’s between games approach.

Kidd was a rookie head coach last year in Brooklyn, and while he deserves a good amount of credit for turning the team around after the first of the year and guiding the Nets to victory in the first round of the playoffs.

 

Brook Lopez @ Nets

Brook Lopez is an American professional basketball player who currently plays for the Brooklyn Nets of the National Basketball Association. He is the twin brother of basketball player Robin Lopez, who plays for the Portland Trail Blazers

Last season had major injuries and this season as at the media day  last Friday, confirmed he is back on the court with lots of confidence, he earned from Kevin Garnett

As of the new coach Lionel Hollins in charge, Lopez will be focusing more on rebounding, and will be featured in the post more

 

Kevin Garnett

On Friday Media day, Kevin mentioned he will play one more year, but there is million of reason when he will retired, or to move to another team

It was an absolute shock that Pierce signed with Wizards back in July. The Nets do save close to $20 million on the luxury tax, but Kevin Garnett probably wasn't planning on this happening, bolted Brooklyn for the nation’s capital

 

Mason Plumlee won Gold in USA World Cup

Ова лето Мејсон Plumlee, кога тој го направи тимот САД на Светското првенство што го освои златниот медал во неделата од масовната Србија 129-92 во шампионатот игра
Тој беше член на американската Под-18 тим кој загуби во насловот игра во Аргентина.

Истата игра за САД, кој играше за Нетс, како што се паметни снимки, трчаше на подот, и отскокна.

Plumlee во просек 2,3 поени за 60 проценти снимање 9-на-15 и два скока во 6,7 минута од натпреварот. Тие не се броеви кои скокаат од страница, но Plumlee верува дека искуството на играње на овој тим ќе го направи подобро НБА играч во неговата втора сезона.


This summer Mason Plumlee, when he made the USA World Cup team that won the gold medal on Sunday by overwhelming Serbia 129-92 in the championship game

He was a member of the U.S. Under-18 team that lost in the title game to Argentina.
He played the same game for the USA that he played for the Nets, as he took smart shots, ran the floor, and rebounded.

Plumlee averaged 2.3 points on 60-percent shooting 9-of-15 and two rebounds in 6.7 minutes of play. They aren’t numbers that jump off the page but Plumlee believes the experience of playing on this team will make him a better NBA player in his second season.

Nets Hitting 19th NBA Season

Nets has flip over with changings this season, without Pierce, signing as a free agent with Washington,  Garnett has returned for his 19th NBA season
Deron Williams, another former All-Star on the Nets' roster, is coming off his worst season as a pro, complicated by two severely sprained ankles that limited his performance. Williams had surgery in the offseason on both ankles and he has been recovering slowly, and Andrei Kirilenko missed most of the last season from back injuries.

Nets has talk on Friday media day, welcome back Brook Lopez, the All-Star center who missed most of last season after undergoing foot surgery, but the good think is that Nets also have second-year player Mason Plumlee, who earned NBA all-rookie status. Plumlee this summer played for Team USA, which won the FIBA World Cup gold medal.

Good think is about Nets added new players added veteran Jarrett Jack to back up Williams at point guard and signed highly touted European Bojan Bogdanovic, he is one of the bright spots this offseason was the signing of Croatian swingman.
Bogdanovic signed the contract on a three-year, with 10-million dollars

It will be good season with both ex Yugo Slovenian's leaders in one team playing for Nets

 

Bojan Bogdanovic on place of Pierce

Bojan 25-year-old Croatian forward has spent the past three years playing overseas but signed, and finally signed a 3 years contract of $10 million deal with the Nets on July 22—five days after Pierce became a Wizard.

Bogdanovic is not as a elite defender, but he can put points on the board in a hurry way, perhaps more importantly, in a variety of ways he is younger and more enthusiastic for the game over Pierce
His 21.2 points per game tied for the second-highest average in the World Cup, which was highlighted by four 20-plus scoring outings in six games. Pierce, who averaged 13.5 points, had 20 or more points in 11 of the 75 games he played last year

Bogdanovic shot 36.1 percent from three-point land this summer and managed to make 29.8 percent of his long-range shots for Fenerbahce last year. However, the forward converted 41.1 and 40.5 percent of his threes in 2011-12 and 2012-13, respectively, but of 6’8”, 216-pound wingman uses his body the same way that Pierce does, which allows him to also break his man down off the dribble and go down in the post.
