Chapter 697: Ignite the Audience!
The sun in the first quarter is very fierce! However, this does not affect the enthusiasm of the home fans, who are still very high at the moment! The Bulls were like that at the time, and in the end they couldn't beat Brooklyn.
"Don't take it lightly, this is my message to you. Compare them to not the Bulls. It's not difficult to win against us when the players are playing well. Williamson don't play this quarter, Jonathan goes to play the No. 3 position, and you have to pay more attention to Russell and Lin......"
To the surprise of fans, Williamson did not play in this quarter. Although he was a little in the mood to think about the activities on the field, he finally suppressed it. After sitting at his place for almost 1 minute, he went to Rose's and the two of them chatted.
31:24! Phoenix leads by seven points. In the second quarter, the opponent did not change the lineup, and Allen and Jonathan came to the court! What Chen means is that he still wants to see what kind of result it will be when such a lineup plays against the opponent.
If Williamson is always used, he is indeed very happy with the Nets' management at the moment. He is also another strong scorer in addition to Lopez in many years!
The reason for this comparison is that he and Lopes are almost both more well-rounded players! And now the Nets are a little happy that the current manpower on the front line is relatively complete!
And the young man saw in the team training at the No. 4 position that he could also play. I haven't tried it yet. But blindly using him, maybe after a long time, other teams will work out a Nets team that specifically deals with Williamson!
Jonathan served to Lin, who held the ball and faced Booker's defense decisively past the opponent and hit a 2-point jumper! 31:26! Later in the first quarter, the Nets' shooting percentage dropped a bit.
Chen didn't replace them in this quarter, and Lin and Russell also had the intention of competing with each other. Jackson held the ball across the half court, and Monroe's quick shot after getting the basketball was directly interfered with by Allen!
Chandler got the rebound and immediately dunked 2 points! 33:26! In the first quarter of the game, the Suns gained a lot of confidence. Coaches feel that this is the best time to keep the starting lineup on the court going, and the current Nets team is very different from before.
During the Borg period, although the Phoenix Suns and the Nets were a little stalemate in the previous game, they basically couldn't stand it when the first half was near the end! There are more new players, rookies coming to play, and there are problems with their coordination and the offense of individual players.
And the decadence they showed at the time also reassured the Suns!
The Suns also watched the video of the game against the Timberwolves. It doesn't feel real now! But the Nets did win Minnesota in the end! Garnett's interview wouldn't be untrue!
Jonathan received a pass from Russell and quickly went to the front court and hit a three-pointer under Allen's cover! 33:29! One of the current Nets phenomena is that Brooklyn is a little passive most of the time when Williamson is off the court.
The occurrence of such a situation makes Chen feel quite interesting~ The media has not paid attention to this aspect yet. But Chen has already discovered such hidden dangers. The players should not have accepted Williamson too much in their hearts. So now that Williamson is on the court, the rest of the Nets players will be somewhat uncomfortable.
But this situation makes this young man who also calls him "Little James" in the media even more dazzling! Once the fame came out, it was a little unexpected for Williamson~
In addition to the "96 Generation", "03 Generation", and "05 Generation" that have been discussed a lot in recent years, there are no players who have been able to perform well when they first joined the NBA, and there are no injuries.
He refused some invitations to interviews and programs, not only did not make some media disgusted, but on the contrary, the media played Williamson's low-key and relatively simple personality and made them like it~
As a result, his Twitter followers have been rising rapidly~ Chen's idea is that such a situation can only be made in the regular season for the media to find talking points and materials to write. That's it.
Although the Nets' results are on the rise right now, but in the playoffs, making sure Williamson can make it to the Eastern Conference finals by himself? This is obviously unrealistic.
Cleveland, Vallejo and other excellent blue-collar players led by the little emperor back then, still make it difficult for them to make it difficult in the playoffs. Unless the players in the team either have more good enough players, or the tacit understanding value in coordination is high!
We're halfway through the game! In other words, the time left for them is relatively limited. And it is not known how far Rose can play at the moment, and it is not known whether Garnett will come to the Nets.
If you only consider the Nets with Roses, Williamson, and Jeremy Lin, you should work hard in the first round, and the problem is in the next round. Can you estimate in the past, the current coaching staff has not been able to answer.
Booker slowly passed the half, and his sudden shot almost collided with Russell, but the basketball was very crisp and went to the basket! 36:29! The shooting strength was a little bigger, but the three points were still quickly taken down!
Immediately after Jonathan took the basketball, he tried to pass the opponent at Dudley's and made physical contact, and the referee immediately blew the whistle.
Jonathan, who stood on the free throw line, made 2 of 2 free throws! 36:31! Whether it was Jonathan or Jefferson, the two of them had a calculation in their hearts after Williamson came~
Such players steal them both in the time and in the limelight of the game! Jefferson has been squeezed out a little bit more time here. But Chen Du remembered it. But I didn't talk to him about it.
For a situation like Jefferson's, it's a big test. Chen has not faced a very strong team in recent days, so he has found time to think about how to make the Nets "de-Williamsonized" development in the existing situation can also achieve good results!
Like some of the team's main players, they immediately changed their appearance! The predicament faced by Harden of the Rockets a few years ago, and the outbreak of Westbrook after the Thunder did not have Du Shao! Such teams are very good in the regular season!
But in the playoffs, the likelihood of elimination increases! And basically, when they encounter a strong team, they have no ability to parry. If that happens in the playoffs, it's better for you to win. Most of them ended in sweeps.
In his mind, the Nets can still be more efficient without Williamson! He's going to talk to Jefferson about it in the next week!
For Jonathan and Jefferson, they are actually relatively calm at the moment. Although there is a great one in the team! But the report didn't say anything about the Nets' previous No. 3 position.
The two have also been invited by a number of teams this season. This means that they can join them if they want after the season. Not to mention the salary, it's quite objective. As long as the performance is stable, the data is relatively good-looking, and the steady rise will basically have a good price in a few years.
Like Booker at the No. 4 position in the Nets, he is now with the 76ers with a salary of $9 million+ dollars! Boyang's salary has already exceeded 10 million! And Teague is on a new level! The Minnesota Timberwolves offered him a two-year, $37.2 million salary!
And the salaries of these players used to be only a few million. If nothing is wrong, Jonathan and Jefferson will have their salaries at least twice as much after this season!
Dudley takes the basketball and passes to Jackson. The latter jumped directly into the net for a long distance 2 points! 38:31!
Lin went to the sideline to get Allen's ball and quickly moved to the front court, where he passed the ball to Russell under the bag of Booker and Jackson. The latter saw that the opponent began to retreat and immediately passed the ball back! Lin picked up Russell's ball and hit a three-pointer! 38:34!
Monroe didn't hold the basketball after taking it and was cut off by Jonathan. Russell made a baton relay move, and immediately accelerated after getting the basketball, rushed over, leaned forward, and jumped three points into the net! 38:37! The other party is about to take a timeout at this time!
"Defensively we were a little too lax. This place is going to be tense a lot. Don't worry too much about the opponent on the inside, you should pay more attention to the small forward and Jeremy Lin...... "The opposing coach's main emphasis is on the Nets' guard and No. 3 position.
Devin was not replaced. Allan, Bender and Warren were on the pitch.
The Nets replaced Jonathan with Jefferson. The two of them are still relatively comfortable today. Because the playing time has increased significantly.
"The offense that the opponent mainly relies on has now increased in terms of playing style, and it is still what I said at the beginning of this section, be more vigilant, don't slack off......" After coming back, I saw that Chen did not have any happy expression.
Booker quickly took the basketball to the frontcourt, and Brandon scored a layup immediately after getting the ball! 40:37!
Lin dribbled the ball across the half, and Jefferson got the ball and ran for Warren as soon as he got it. The latter dodged directly after seeing it, and Bender directly smashed Jefferson's ball in the air! Russell didn't have three points after getting the ball!
Alain immediately grabbed the basketball and passed the ball to Brandon! Warren took Brandon's pass and easily made a layup after half court to score points! 42:37!
After Phoenix saw that the Nets were about to overtake, he immediately changed his lineup. Daniels still didn't let him up. Booker played a little more in the hope that their team could continue to lead into the third quarter!
This is a little more proactive for them. After all, their "little James" hasn't come up yet! Who knows what the game will turn out to be!
Brooklyn felt the intensity of the opposing team immediately after this timeout. Warren is not a troublemaker. This season, he averaged 20.2 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1 assist per game, which is a very good forward player for the team!
Russell got Jefferson's serve and went to the frontcourt. Egypt's Diyus quickly received his pass and turned around and hit a jumper! 42:39! Immediately ran over to Russell! Many players on the Nets bench immediately stood up to cheer for Egyptian Dius, which also made him a little embarrassed......
A simple shot is still not so easy for him. Warren hit a three-point shot immediately after receiving Brandon's ball! 45:39!
The camera is given to Chen Yinan and Williamson from time to time. Chen's words didn't look at the camera today, always staring at the game on the court, and he knew that if the Suns played too well, the Nets would have to adjust quickly.
And Williamson is different, from time to time he also puts on a more amusing expression~ It seems that the other nickname given to him on the Internet, "Embiid one size smaller", is not casually given~
Lin dribbled the ball across the halfcourt and hit a 2-point jumper with a direct step-back under Booker's defense! 45:41!
60:57! By the end of the first half, the Nets had narrowed the gap to just three points!
Phoenix's Daniels replaced Booker, and the Nets fans erupted in cheers. Williamson, Crabbe, Mozgov are on the pitch.
Another reason why they didn't play in the first half was that in the third quarter, the Nets' whole team will still have a lot of improvement! He didn't expect his team to play to such an extent.
At first, I thought it would be okay if I fell behind by about 10 points in the first half. Will still chase back. The current situation has made him feel a lot more comfortable.
Russell dribbled the ball across the half, and Crabbe didn't have three points after taking the basket! Egyptian Diwe and Mozgov almost collided together! Williamson took the ball from Egypt's Deyous and went straight to the net with a three-point jumper!
Then he made a very relaxed expression~ The heat of the fans on the scene rose again!
Daniels came to the front court and passed Russell and Crabbe rushed in to throw and score points! 62:60! His speed and desire to attack are still strong!
Immediately after Williamson took over the basketball, he flew up immediately after passing Brandon, and Bender was hanging on his body to score points!! The scene was immediately ignited by his powerful dunk! The players on the Nets bench also exploded!
What the camera didn't give was that some Nets staff still didn't believe that the heat of the Barclays Center could reach such a high level! Williamson, who had been playing for a certain amount of time, gradually adapted to this atmosphere.
Warren carried the ball to the front court and tried to drive to the basket, but Williamson deliberately missed him and immediately jumped up with him behind him and pressed the basketball to the rebound! Mozgov slapped the basketball after it bounced off!
Egypt's early slot of Deyous played a role. After taking the basketball, he immediately passed the ball to Crabbe, who quickly crossed the half and hit a three-point shot! 65:62!
At this time, the Phoenix coach and the players had some disbelief on their faces. There seems to be a hint of jealousy in it. Daniels held the ball across the half, and Alan got his pass and dunked to score! 65:64!
Now the Nets are ahead of the Suns! All you have to do is stay ahead and gradually widen the score! Crabbe went up front and Russell took his pass and immediately passed it to Egyptian Dius. After the latter's jumper was gone, Bender got the basketball and just dribbled twice, and Williamson immediately cut off the ball in his hand and jumped straight up!
