Chapter 551: Two Risky Thoughts
54:54! Such a score is still more acceptable to the fans on the scene. The Nets and Clippers battled it out in the second quarter. However, it can be clearly seen that the other party's state has begun to decline.
"I have a feeling that the Clippers' defense is going to have some problems in this quarter. Maybe Beverley wouldn't have made much of a difference if he was still there. Chen looked at Welch who had just walked over and said excitedly.
In the last quarter of the game, although the Nets trailed the Clippers, the difference was still not big. In such a situation, Brooklyn still has no difficulty in breaking points. On the pitch, the overall feeling of the team was not so fluid when Teodosic was away.
"You see the guys who played, well, there's Beverley. Don't underestimate these Rocket veterans. Their abilities are still not weak. "I saw the players on the pitch right away.
On the Clippers' side, they are Reed, Monterey, Decker, Beverley, and Rivers. On the Nets' side are Egyptian Diyous, Griffin, Mike, Russell and Teague.
It's true that Montres is still on a rapid upward trajectory, and Decker still has a good hand at some point. However, the Nets' lineup still has strong offensive and defensive capabilities!
The players were still a little excited when they came on the pitch. The performances of Egypt's Diwe and Russell were somewhat obvious. They all know that the team has more trust in them after the main player is replaced. And this section is the key to the whole game!
The three good main players are now out of the game. Their expressions were very calm at this time. If Jordan Jr. or Gallinari were alone, the game would be much more difficult!
Russell dribbles the ball to the frontcourt. Griffin immediately ran out, took the basketball, stepped on the line directly, and scored 2 points into the net! 56:54! The audience immediately cheered. After thinking about it for a certain period of time, Chen felt that this section of the game couldn't let go of the other party too much!
Their current strength is more dangerous, and the Nets may not be able to win against them in this game! If the quarter goes into the fourth quarter with a near-tie again, then there shouldn't be much chance of winning. So the game must be played as if it were the last quarter!
Russell is still maintaining a relatively good fighting force in the current game! He also still has Chen's trust in this game. Rivers quickly went to the frontcourt, and after Decker took the basketball, he used his feet to shake off Mike and jumped directly into the basket with 2 points!
In the course of the game, it can be seen that Decker has a good feeling and coordination on the field. He didn't have too violent dunks and fierce scrambles. But it's a good efficiency in every attack!
There are no traces of the prominence until now. However, many media and coaches think that Decker is very talented in substitutes and blue-collar players...... Counting on his quick burst and strong defense didn't have much hope. But he just can score consistently a lot of times.
If the whole team is not in good shape now, he will stand out. Russell slowly made his way to the front court, took Teague's ball and confronted Rivers. Egyptian Dius suddenly ran away in a place where the afterglow was more obvious!
His relatively large action successfully attracted Russell's attention! Egyptian Dius, who took over the basketball in the air, immediately deducted points and scored! 58:56! If little Jordan was here, he would never be so presumptuous!
Reed, who was eliminated by the Nets after a tryout, was offered a contract with the Clippers. If Brooklyn had to choose now, they would have taken Reed out of now. It's not that he's not good enough, it's that there are players in the team who are much better than him!
Except for Reed and Clippers veteran Rivers, the rest are all players from Houston! They still feel a lot more resistance ahead of them this season.
After leaving the more familiar environment, their performance on the field after putting on the new team uniform will also have a direct impact on their playing time and the level of trust the team has in them.
If you have very good teammates around you, even if you don't have too many abilities. You can basically play well in the blue-collar range. And now they don't have players like Ariza and Harden around them.
Anderson, who has been talked about a lot by the outside world, is not their teammate now. Then on the field, in addition to the opportunities created for them by new teammates in the team, it is their own ability. Although this sensation is invisible, its presence is still clearly felt.
The team is okay at times, but sometimes the Clippers need players like Beverley and Monteres to step up and brush up on team scoring stats! At this point, it's basically up to them!
Fortunately, the Rockets players who were traded are basically physically passable. So after coming to the Clippers, my own data has not been affected too much. The Rockets are also determined to trade these players to the Clippers.
In the first two years, these players such as Beverley, Lowe and Decker have basically been exposed by the media many times! Not only are they more comfortable with the Rockets' rhythm, but they are generally able to integrate into the team immediately and help the team win.
But from now on, the Rockets are going to upgrade the team as a whole! Trade some blue-collar and elite blue-collar players for star-like and influential players!
Rivers didn't have three points after halftime, and Reed then took over the basketball and was directly capped by Griffin in the process of trying to make a layup! Whether it is the footsteps, the speed of movement and the rhythm of the other party, Griffin immediately saw through!
The ball was so clean that Reid didn't have time to be annoyed, and Deyus had reached the basketball and passed the ball to Russell quickly! Teague took the ball and immediately passed it to Mike, who picked up his pace and dunked immediately to score points! 60:56!
Monterey received the ball in front of the court and turned his back to Griffin after dribbling the ball a few times before making a quick pass to Decker. The latter shot no! Reed got the rebound and dunked the ball straight away! Beverley suddenly jumped out at this time, took the basketball, ran out, and then accelerated past Russell next to him and scored a layup! 60:58!
There's nothing you can do to think of anything else at this point. Only a quick offensive. Beverley originally wanted to defend more and cut off the ball from opposing players and give himself more assists. But the team can't score at this point!
Beverley's performance in the melee just now has to admire the physical fitness of this small player and the rebounding and defensive awareness on the court!
Teague quickly went to the frontcourt, Russell received the basketball on the other side and faked to trick Rivers away, and immediately rushed in, and was fanned out by a big pot in Monterey when he was making a layup!
Mike saw that he couldn't save himself and immediately stopped. Basketball pops out of bounds. Teague hit a three-point shot immediately after receiving Mike's serve! Such a goal immediately livened the Nets' bench! Lin and Mozgov and Dinwiddie stood on the sidelines to cheer for Teague! 63:58!
When he was with the Pacers, Teague was the team's main guard. After coming to the Nets, I feel a lot more comfortable playing. Don't worry too much about the organization of the team! The current Nets Jeremy Lin, Russell, and Dinwiddie have good organizational skills!
Russell's organizational skills have come up a lot lately! And Teague's main task for most of the time in the field is to score! He prefers to score in the heat of confrontation, score points past the defenders around him, and give three points when no one is defending!!
After a long time, Teague also had times when he didn't play so well on the court. But basically, when he holds the ball, the Nets' score in this quarter will increase to a certain extent!
The opposing head coach is now behind Teodosic, and if he turns around and says something, the wary defender will be on the pitch immediately. But he didn't. He's still putting the fierce competition on the fourth quarter!
As soon as Monterey got the basketball, he rushed in and collided with Griffin! Obviously, such a savage charge left Griffin unprepared. He also felt the power of Monteres beside him!
The back foot was pinned, so I immediately fell directly with this force. The moment he fell to the ground, Monterey felt that he had pushed himself too hard! With a little more effort, he estimated that he would have to stumble on the ground a few times......
"Hey, it's okay," Monterey said casually on the floor.
"Pretty energetic, huh?" After finishing speaking, I didn't know what the other party's reaction was. When I heard the other party say such a sentence to him a little ridiculously, I let go of my heart a little.
The referee watched the two muscular guys for a short while and then didn't blow the penalty. Coaches on both sides wanted to find a referee theory. Chen took two steps and immediately retracted his steps. It's basically useless to know.
After the Clippers coach exchanged a few words with the referee, he walked back without much expression on his face. Looking at the replay, Montrez was out of bounds. Russell didn't have a three-pointer in the front court after getting the ball! Monterey gets the rebound and passes the ball quickly to Beverley!
Rivers immediately went into the net with a three-point shot after getting the ball! 63:61! Griffin took Teague's pass and singled Montres with his back to score 2 points!
Reid got the rebound after Beverley missed a long-range 2-pointer, and Decker still didn't have a jumper after receiving the ball! Mike picked up the rebound and dribbled to the frontcourt himself. Griffin took Mike's pass and immediately scored points! 67:61!
In this quarter, the opposing coach actually hopes that the Nets can continue to wander with them by about 5 points. Fans have already seen today's game, Jordan Jr. and Gallinari are in good shape!
Coupled with Teodosic's passing, the Clippers seem to be going to play good statistics in this game. And the winning rate is much higher. For the Nets to win against such a team, they will have to find a way to distance themselves when they don't have a main player or only a few main players.
Of course, the bigger the difference, the better! At the same time, Brooklyn is actually betting on Griffin, the beast-level No. 4 position! Griffin won't have much playing time in the final quarter. If there was no Griffin in the third quarter, then I really don't know if I could play to this extent.
Decker carried the ball to the front court, and immediately after seeing Beverley, who had just passed the ball, came over, Teague followed. Decker, who didn't think he had much of a chance, immediately used his rhythm to get past Mike and scored a layup! Montrez and Griffin are facing each other, and Reid and Egypt's Diyus are preparing to grab the rebound.
So find this good opportunity to score points quickly! 67:63! Russell passed the half, and after Teague took the basketball, he immediately faked to trick Beverley and hit a three-point jumper!
The scene immediately erupted in a lot of cheers. This kind of response is quite useful for Teague. With a mistake from Reed, Russell immediately passed the ball that had broken off in his hand to Mike. Griffin took Mike's pass and took a look at the point unguarded, and then three points hollowed into the net! 73:63!
The other party immediately asked for a timeout. The pause pulled Chen back from his train of thought.
"We're going to score more points on the outside in a while! There is no need to be ahead in this quarter, as long as you can tie or fall behind by more than 5 points. Reid and Montres should pay attention to Teodosic's passing ......"
The players who returned to the sidelines didn't see anything unhappy about their manager. As usual, they are being given tasks.
"Griffin, how are you? Well, yes, I mean fitness," Chan said to Griffin as soon as he saw the players come back.
"It's nothing when this section is full," Griffin said to Chen Yinan more easily.
"Well, that's good. Zhang Haoyi will play. In the next game, I think the opponent must strengthen the defense or fight with us to score. So first of all, let's not let up our defense. Be sure to keep an eye on them, and if Teodosic comes up, you will even have to trap him in some cases......"
If the other party says that he has been playing like this with the Nets, it is easier to say. But the timeout they are about to take should change things on both sides. Such a change made Chen a little uneasy.
The game came back with the consequences, and Teodosic came on. Lowe replaces Beverley. On the Nets' side, Zhang Hao and Jeremy Lin replaced Mike and Teague. As soon as Teodosic returns, the team's form will basically change. From time to time, Lowe had great performances when he was with the Rockets. He's a more stable veteran!
Back on the court, Teodosic immediately made a large passing posture and directly retracted and jumped to hit a three-point shot! 73:66! This kind of offense really made the Nets not react for a while!
Lin slowly dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Russell took the ball and passed it to Griffin. Under the defense of Reed and Montrez, Griffin directly stepped back and shot a 2-point hollow into the net! 75:66!
At this time, Chen was still somewhat relieved in his heart. The role of this star player on the field is different! In previous games, when Griffin had not yet arrived at the team, such a situation occurred, and Lin and other defenders were basically relied on to organize the game or score directly on the outside!
If a few rounds don't have much effect for a while, the Nets will immediately fall into a more passive situation. But now in Brooklyn, under such circumstances, Griffin will be able to break through immediately! And at this time, Lin felt quite excited! Such a goal also boosted the morale of the Nets a lot!
Teodosic held the ball to the front court and immediately passed the ball to Montrez, and Lowe directly jumped high and shot a long-range 2-point hollow net after receiving the pass!
