Chapter 663: How Bad Is It
Jim was standing on the sidelines at this time, looking at the current Nets with a serious expression. His expression was a little solemn. 12:0! The Nets haven't scored so far in the opening game! And although the current Nuggets team is not so powerful, they will not be soft when facing weak teams!
Mozgov went to the sideline to serve to Lin, who slowly made his way to the frontcourt. On Emanuel's side, he immediately picked up and made a mistake in the opponent's judgment. Jeremy Lin hit a 2-point jumper with a pull-back jumper! 12:2!
Some of the die-hard fans at the scene immediately cheered! Gary quickly took the basketball and passed the half, Jokic took Gary's pass and turned around to throw it to score points! 14:2!
Chen found in front of the computer that the current Brooklyn Nets' defense seems to be back to the situation when Atkinson first came here. There are even players who just stand there and watch their teams defend the Nuggets......
Lin and Goodwin exchanged a brief exchange before moving to the front court, attracting two defenders and passing the ball to Goodwin. The latter hit a three-point shot right away! 14:5! There were some sparse cheers at the scene!
In the evening, I bought some food outside, and when I came back, I started waiting for the Nets game. At this time, Chen was preparing some snacks in front of the computer. Now I look a little hungry...... There is also a glass of boiling water and a notebook with some things recorded.
In the current situation, Lin had to say to Goodwin, and after the two of them cooperated, let the Nets catch up with the score faster. I don't know if it's because of the "new" coach or for some other reason, the Nets' players on the court don't feel so bad...... The hearts of some of the fans in the crowd around the stadium today were a little colder......
27:16! The first quarter of the game is over! Some fans have already left the stadium, making the Barclays Centre even more deserted. Now from the perspective of live broadcasting, it looks like a competition held in a university.
In the second quarter of the game, the Nuggets' Will and Murray replaced Farid and Emmanuel respectively, while the Nets' Quincy and Crabbe came to the court. It wasn't until now that Chen's mood relaxed a little.
Crabbe's scoring ability is still good. And Quincy also has a certain accuracy in long-range casting. The current 11-minute minute is not so difficult in the second quarter. Mozgov serves to Crabbe's hands.
Under Murray's defense, the more experienced Crabbe directly made a feint and deceived the opponent directly through the half, and then a feint, and Murray, who had just arrived, jumped up directly after being shaken away and hit a three-point shot! 27:19!
At this time, Crabbe had already used the Nets as a springboard. As long as you brush up on the data and score 20+, the other data will look as good as possible, and you can still get a high-salary contract if you leave Brooklyn~ If you think about it this way, his playing is still relatively positive.
Will held the ball to the frontcourt, Millsap got the basketball and dunked quickly but didn't score, Mozgov took the basketball and immediately passed the ball to Lin, Crabbe quickly received Lin's pass and missed the three-point miss, at this time Murray immediately got the rebound and passed the long ball to Jokic. The latter immediately stepped on the line and scored 2 points! 29:19!
"This kid is really positive!" Crabbe glanced sideways at Murray, who was running slowly, and thought to himself. What he hadn't noticed just now was a quiet exclamation. Murray figured he wouldn't be able to score the ball, so he rushed over quickly!
I really didn't throw it when I took Crabbe. Jokic was just about to pass the half, and after seeing Murray get the basketball, he immediately ran back and took the basketball and hit a jumper! Once the speed of the Nuggets team rises, it is still terrifying! Either the player's "100-meter sprint" on the field is a quick offensive and defensive conversion!
From the point of view of now, Brooklyn is going to suffer a lot in this regard tonight. Lin quickly got to the front court with the ball, and Quincy took the basketball on the other side and hit a three-point shot! 29:22!
Now Chen is also watching Jim, the interim coach of the Nets today. The coach doesn't seem to be very talkative, but he still has a good head. Apparently he made a good decision in the second quarter, which gave Brooklyn a certain boost in terms of power right away.
Gary held the ball over half the court, and after Will took over the basketball, Jokic immediately took the basketball and dunked to score points! 31:22!
......
"I want to get back on the field, but I also want to find a company that fits me." Garnett was on the phone until the other party's identity was revealed, and the two of them chatted briefly. But when Atkinson's offer to attract him to join the Nets, he was blocked by Garnett.
"Have you already figured out which team to go to?" Atkinson asked. At the same time, I thought that if this was the case, then it would basically be no fun.
"No, I've tried all the Cavaliers, Spurs, and Warriors, and even though the salaries are already relatively low, I still haven't gotten the other party's consent." At this time, Garnett said with some dejection.
"So have you considered going to the Timberwolves? It's strong there," Atkinson deliberately sidestepped the topic of going to the Nets, and talked to Garnett about it first.
"I tried it too, and I took it the same way. But unlike the previous team, they didn't say they didn't want me to go back, but they really couldn't come up with extra money. Let's take a look at some of the best teams to try to score. Although I just want to return to the game, the purpose is still there, and I just want to hit the championship~"
"I think the Nets have that ability right now. You might as well go back to the Nets and play for a year. We'll consider taking a little more out of the salary. ”
"Ha, this, um, I hear you appreciate this confidence in your team." The Wolf King paused for a moment and then said to him.
After a while, Chen Yinan went back. You know this guy. He gave the Nets a record last season that they had in 2000! ”
"Oh, the guy who led the Knicks to an eight-game winning streak some time ago. This kid is a bit interesting~ I haven't thought about it yet, so let's be decisive about the time. ”
After a brief chat, Atkinson hung up the phone. Sighing and staring at his desk. It seems that Garnett's negotiations are not as easy as Rose's.
The Nets ended the first half with 58-42! The game of the third quarter ended at 80:73! With more than five minutes left in the game, the Nuggets made substitutions, and the game ended 109-99.
Although Chen feels that Jim's personal coaching ability is still good. But there are also clearly some problems with the players in the squad.
In this game, Jokic got 20 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists! Millsap had 11 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists, and Farid had 7 points, 6 rebounds and 3 blocks! Emmanuel 17 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists! Murray 15 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists!
The players in the team scored relatively evenly. Two defenders, Emmanuel and Murray, stood out! This season's Nuggets are a little better in terms of running-in.
Nets' Mozgov has 9 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists! Quincy had 12 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists, Jonathan had 18 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, Crabbe had 24 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist, and Jeremy Lin had 16 points, 3 rebounds and 9 assists!
Basically, the opponent is very restricted in the game! The team's main scoring points were concentrated here with Crabbe, Jonathan and Jeremy Lin. Russell only scored 4 points in this game, but he also got 2 rebounds and 6 assists!
Seeing the current Nets, Chen's heart was a little uncomfortable. But there's not much else to do at this point. You can only watch the game as a spectator.
However, after this game, the players of the basketball team learned a piece of news. That is, the coach of today's game is not the real Nets coach. It's only temporary!
The news was still very shocking in the team.
After coming to the Suns' home court, it was still Jim of the team who led the team. Today's opposing lineup is Chandler, Monroe, Dudley, Jackson, Booker! On the Nets' side are Mozgov, Quincy, Jonathan, Crabbe and Jeremy Lin!
In this game, you can see that the morale of the Nets is not low! Lin received Mozgov's pass and quickly rushed to the front court, passed Dudley and immediately made a layup to score points! Monroe went to the sideline and served into Booker's hand.
After a certain period of play, the Phoenix Suns are at the bottom of the table again this year. But now they are much better than the Nets......
Jackson missed a three-pointer after halftime, and Chandler got the ball and passed it to Booker. Booker hit a three-pointer under Lim's defense! The players in the team soon learned the news and were thrilled to see last season's manager return!
So there is a pre-game mobilization to win the next game! But even Jeremy Lin knew in his heart that it was really far enough from the last win. It looks like it was last season.
Jonathan made a layup and scored points after turning past Dudley! 4:3! Compared to the previous team, the intensity of today's game is still weaker.
Booker held the ball across half court and landed a pass to Chandler defended by Jonathan and Crabbe. The latter immediately scored points in front of Mozgov! 5:4! Once you've relaxed, how can you get back in shape?
The Nets are now deeply aware of this. Dudley cut off Quincy's ball and passed to Booker, who made a decisive pass to Monroe. Under Quincy's defense, Monroe hit hard and scored 2 points! 7:4!
Crabbe took Jeremy Lin's pass and confronted Booker. Jump up and hit a three-point shot immediately after pretending to pass the ball! Hand up and knife down! 7:7!
This game is still precious for the Suns, who have lost a lot of games this season! They're going to have to win this game to improve their record in the regular season.
Jim swapped Crabbe early today! It means that the team can get more points! It seems to be working!
Dudley took Booker's pass and singled Jonathan with his back! 9:7!
However, in today's game, Jim felt that the players in the team were still listless. This is evident in the contrast. The long period of negative response has made the Nets less motivated!
And when they feel like they're okay, they're still so slow. But now the team can only fight hard. Who made the Nets pay well......
In the case of the assistant coaches, most of them were cut from the original team reinforcements or chose to leave on their own. But such a coach is like a manager who goes to another team after he is tired of being in one team.
They still have a lot of strength! This is also a point that Atkinson values more! Lin held the ball past half court and faced Jackson's good defense and opted for a high toss pass to Mozgov.
Turned around and didn't shoot, Chandler got the rebound and immediately passed the ball to Booker, who went to the front court and hit a three-point shot directly! 12:7!
Jonathan serves to Lin on the sidelines. Lin in the front court ignored the opponent's bag and directly passed the two people, and then quickly stepped back and hit a 2-point jumper! 12:9!
From the attitude of Brooklyn at the beginning, it can be seen that the Suns may not play so well in today's game. Monroe took the basketball and faced Quincy's defense with a direct jumper, which missed this time. Mozgov was cut off by Dudley after getting the rebound right away!
Booker took Dudley's pass and immediately hit another three-point shot! 15:9! Now Booker is already a hero for the Suns! The fans on the field immediately boiled!
Jonathan held the ball to the frontcourt, and when facing Dudley, he quickly passed the opponent and then made a layup that was directly blocked by Chandler! Thinking of his own performance in these two games, Jonathan is more annoyed! After the news comes out, the recent games should be paid attention to by Chen!
But there was nothing wrong with his concerns. Chen Yinan is indeed dissatisfied with Jonathan's two games. He was unhappy with a lot of the players in the team.
Booker took Chandler's pass and made a quick long pass to Jackson. The latter dunked and scored points immediately when the Nets were unguarded! 17:9! Mozgov went to the sideline to serve to Crabbe.
In the face of Jackson's defense, Crabbe immediately passed the opponent and dunked under the Suns' basket to score points! 17:11! The pace of the attack was well mastered. Crabbe's individual qualities have also caught the attention of other teams this season. The blue-collar player is about to have a chance to become a star player!
After Monroe got Booker's pass, Lin suddenly took a few quick steps and immediately cut off Monroe's ball and passed to Crabbe. After the latter passed Jackson, he jumped directly to the front court and hit a three-point shot! 17:14!
This kind of game is actually a kind of torment for the current Nets. Each of them wants someone to step up and score points quickly so that the score is level or ahead of the opponent.
The players in the team became loose. That's how it is on the field. When Crabbe or Jeremy Lin or Jonathan attacked, the other players just stood there waiting for their teammates to score.
This kind of state, not much cooperation with the attack, and the kind of atmosphere shown in the team, Chen felt that he wanted to go over and punish them for 1,000 times in the training gym!
After seeing the Suns' Jackson jump up and get three points, Chen directly got up and opened the window, he now needs to breathe. I don't want to watch the game for a while.
