Chapter 652: Putting the Basket on the Plate (2/4!) )

Feeling the enthusiasm from the home fans, the enthusiasm on the faces of the young players of the Nets team is even more intense.

At the opening ceremony of the scene, Jokic and Bogdan jumped higher than in the past and shouted louder, these details show that they are very excited.

After the opening ceremony, the starters of both teams appeared one after another.

On the Nets' side, Deron and Bogdan on the outside, Jokic and Yi Jianlian on the inside, plus Boya Bogdanovic Jr.

On the Wizards' side, Wall and Beal on the outside, Porter and Pierce on the outside, plus center Gortat.

Gortat and Yi Jianlian's jump ball, Gortat flicked the ball back to the Wizards' half, and the visitors got the opportunity to attack first.

Wall pushes to the frontcourt, and Bill and Pierce block on the weak side.

The Wizards' core tactics basically didn't change, and Wall gave the ball to Pierce.

After these few scenes, he also learned to be obedient, Pierce opened it, and the two guns could follow, which is the typical meaning of Big Brother first.

Pierce received the ball, and it was Yi Jianlian who stood in front of him.

The Nets made a decisive change of defense in this game, and almost did not give the Wizards room to misplace.

Pierce Tu Yi Jianlian, Yi Jianlian directly went to the physical confrontation in advance.

After all, when he was old, he had a lot of physical exertion under confrontation, and Pierce took two steps and directly chose to turn around and lean back.

Yi Jianlian also flew to cover it, giving enough interference.

"Bang!"

Pierce's first attempt ended in a striking iron.

Jokic stuck Gortat, and Joe Johnson picked up a defensive rebound.

There was a burst of cheers at the scene, and although it was only a defensive round, it was obvious that the Nets' defensive intensity was improving.

This is a very positive sign.

Jokic received the ball outside the three-point line, saw Gortat sticking up, turned his back to return the ball to Delung, and then directly blocked and dismantled the substitution, allowing Deron to misplace against Gortat.

Although the Wizards don't want to change, Jokic is also an offensive threat in his own right, and he can only follow Wall when he goes to the basket.

Jokic brought Wall to the basket and the other points pulled away to the wings, giving Delon plenty of room to play alone.

Successive changes of direction, acceleration to the left and suddenly to the right, Delon used his trademark corssover, although not as elegant as Iverson, but better in the sense of rhythm, the fat body is like a cannonball, a speed is over.

Gortat could only chase the defense behind him and couldn't catch up, Wall came out to help defend, Delon directly hoisted the ball to Jokic inside, Jokic received the ball and quickly released the basket to score.

The Nets took the lead.

The Wizards' round, the same tactics, this time the Nets defended more deadly, and Pierce didn't have a good chance to catch the ball.

Wall reacted and called for Gortat to block in the high post, and then returned the ball to Gortat, who pressed Delon for a layup.

Jokic let Wall out to interfere at this time, Gortat didn't have Jokic's handwork, and the layup that dodged sideways didn't go up, and when he wanted to grab the board again, he was stuck by Jokic.

This is also the point that Tang Tian reminded him yesterday, don't blindly rush to the board, first card the opponent's center, and then shoot when you see the opportunity.

Delon jumped up and grabbed the defensive rebound.

DeLong turned and pushed the counterattack, Bogdan walked like flying, received DeLong's long pass in the front court, and scored a layup directly on the side.

4 to 0.

The Nets opened with a lot of momentum.

"Defend! Defend! ”

The enthusiasm of the home fans was already high, and now it is even higher by the performance of the players on the field.

Wall held the ball to the frontcourt, and this time he passed the ball to Bill, who received the ball and was closely followed by Bogdan, and the reluctant shot was still iron.

The fans at the scene were instantly excited.

In the last game, the Wizards blew up the Nets, but this one is like their own basket, covering the opponent!

Tang Tian also nodded with satisfaction, the Wizards' hand should not be bad, even if the Nets have such a high-pressure defense, their trajectory is still very positive, but this group of young people is indeed very excited and hardworking.

In other words, they used their efforts to make the shield a little tougher than before, which was just enough to block the Wizards' spear.

The Nets' frontcourt offense didn't score this time, but Porter's outside three-point shot didn't come in.

The game played for more than 5 minutes, the score was 10-0, and the Nets really added cover to their baskets through high-pressure defense.

Pierce saw that the momentum was not right, and without waiting for Whitman's side to react, he asked Wall in the front court to pass the ball, and then beckoned Porter to make a block, and after facing Bojan, he directly changed to the basket.

Bojan's speed is slow, defense is a weakness, Tang Tian sent him on the court to open up space, but he didn't expect the old Pierce to be extremely calm at the critical moment and seize the weakness of the Nets to play.

Bojan couldn't defend himself in the penalty area, so he could only pay for a foul.

Pierce went to the free-throw line and hit both free throws in the face of interference to finally score for the Wizards.

Tang Tian's reaction was fast enough, he directly got up and called Maddie up, asking him to prepare to replace Bo Yang.

Dellon's breakthrough didn't score, the Wizards counterattacked, and Wall scored a layup in the counterattack, and the Wizards chased 4 points in a row in this period.

Fortunately, DeLong has a lot of experience, and when he saw Maddy standing on the sidelines, he took the initiative to find a foul on Gortat when he was out of position in the front court.

The game went into a dead ball and Maddie came on for Bojan.

The same tactic is still Delon playing Gortat.

The Wizards still don't dare to help defend, which is why Tang Tian replaced Maddy instead of Joe Johnson, and when Gortat is on the floor, he needs the Nets to keep the offensive space on the court.

This time, Deron seized the opportunity and hit a pull-and-go shot from the free throw line.

At 12-4, the Nets held the lead firmly.

Bojan went off the field, and Pierce couldn't find a breakthrough and tried to hit Maddie once.

Maddie was slow on his legs, but not much slower than Pierce Sr., and his reach and athleticism were better, and Pierce's leaning didn't go in under the interference.

The situation completely fell to the side of the Nets.

The score was almost widened a little bit, and the Nets were getting more and more excited to play, no matter who was on the court, they were all going all out.

As Jokic said, they were a little confused in the first two games, but they still felt that they could win, and they were not convinced.

With more input and more high-intensity defense, the Nets are playing hard.

On the other hand, on the Wizards' side, after Pierce couldn't open it, the two guns gradually got lost.

93-78, the Nets finally defeated the Wizards at home, bringing the series to a 2-2 tie.

The Wizards shot 3-of-14 from Wall, Beal from 6-of-21, and even veteran Pierce only 6-of-16 from the field, with the Wizards shooting just 39.7 percent from the field.

The 78 points are also the Wizards' lowest since the playoffs, and the score gives a sense of how much the Nets are investing on the defensive end tonight.
