Coach Julian Martin was a coach in highschool and he was known by his hard trainings and workouts, eventually this technique of his got him fired as the headcoach. Seeking for another chance he grabbed the job offered by the New Jersey Nets owner Jay-Z. Now he is the coach of the team and was assigned to find new players for the new look of the team.
He got this ten great players. Starting with the team captain Will Sit, an Australian player who dreams to play with his beloved LA Lakers. Sit's thinks that coach Martin got some crappy players but Martin surprises Sit with the other players he got. The threepoint specialist from Duke Kenny Young, The athletic powerforward Drake Thompson and the skillful bigman Lev Brezhnev. Also he got the French guard Thierry Tirieux, The young leader Derricardo Roosevelt, The all around bigman Cliff Bernard and the tough man from the Navy Martti Must. But coach Martin still lacks a player he decided to look to the D-League for some talent. When he got to the Springfield Armors team he got surprised by this two mysterious player, Liam Washburn from Washington and Mark Moore from New Zealand.
With this ten new players coach Martin looks on to surprised the league. Ten unknown players, one new coach, all of this surely attracts the fans to watch the truly "new" New Jersey Nets.

Dare's Betting Game Riddle:
A guy gets up at 9:00 am to play basketball, so he goes over to the park to throw hoops. His aim is terrible, and he's missing all the shots. He continues to play throughout the day. Then, at 1:00 pm, his accuracy improves by 75%.

Hey there fans of the "new look" Nets, it's me Coach Martin. I'll be doing a recap of what I think of our games, sort of a blog and analysis so that you can follow our beloved team.
So I start, our opening game is against the New York Knicks. Everybody knows that they are a high scoring team but I trained my team to be a good defensive team, because defense win games and championship (go ask the previous champs). Anyways back to the game, the first quarter starts very sloppy for our team, we cause a lot of turnovers, commit a lot of fouls and did not shoot well. I expected this because this is our first game and it seems everybody is nervous. Sergio Rodriguez was unstoppable in the 1st, he scored 8 quick points so I replaced Thierry Tirieux for Mark Moore. Mark did a decent job on both Mcgrady and Rodriguez, we only allowed them 20 points in the first but sadly we scored 16.
In the second quarter the sloppy plays are gone, our team played great especially Lev Brezhnev. He scored 9 points and grabbed 5 rebounds. I mostly used the bench in the second quarter to test them, we still struggle to score but we cut down the lead to 1. We went to the halftime 39 - 38. I wish I can tell you what I told my guys during halftime but I can't (sorry).
Start of the second half the whole team is fired up. Will Sit proved his the captain of the team by leading the team rally. He was passing, rebounding,defending and scoring but midway to the 3rd he got shoved by Mcgrady and got injured, he did not return in the game but the trainers told me that there were no major injuries. So somebody need to step up in this game and two of them did it, Kenny Young and Derricardo Roosevelt played great. Roosevelt was finding Young in the 3rd and drills the wide open 3 pointers, he made 3 of his 4 in the 3rd. But we are still down 55 - 58 entering the 4th.
The 4th quarter was an intense battle, when we scored they scored also, when we stopped them they stopped us. Danilo Gallinari and David Lee were troubles to us but we continue to fight. With 1 minute left we grabbed the lead thanks to Martti Must foul counted put back. I thought we won the game with 2 seconds left we were up by two points, then Mcgrady hit a ridiculous fade away 3 point shot with 0.8 seconds left. Unfortunately we were out of timeout, Cliff Bernard just throws the ball to Thierry and shoots a halfcourt shot. Booom it went in, nothing but net the replays shows that he nails it just in time. We won our first game 82 - 80.
Sorry I can't put the highlight, I forgot to record them. Anyways here are the boxscores and teamstats, Kenny Young was the POTG. Maybe to the others this win was just luck but to me this is an achievement and the league better get ready for the Nets, me and my guys are gonna surprised them this year.
Goodbye to all and have a good night. - Coach Martin

Which direction is he facing?
Answer:
He is facing east. In the morning, the sun was rising in the east so he could not see well because of the glare from the sun. By 1:00 p.m. the sun was starting to go down, toward the west.
