Chapter 796: The Next Wei Shao?
This game allowed the Nets players to see the growth of the Pelicans. If this team meets the Warriors or Spurs in the playoffs, they still have little chance of winning. However, a season has only just begun, and the time is still relatively long, and the Pelicans still have a chance to take themselves further in these times.
In recent seasons, their management has also become more aware of the role a player can play in the team if he is good! Mirotic is getting older, but that doesn't stop him from playing on the field!
And for his ability, the help for the Pelicans is still relatively obvious, the only shortcoming seen now is that Mirotic can't play on the court for too long. Cousins and Davis have also added fitness in previous seasons! This makes the performance of the two people even stronger!
"It's hard to say because the score was pretty close at the end. Maybe some of our balls were handled okay later. And the next question you mentioned, I don't think it's necessary~" Chen said that some of the reporters around him relaxed a little.
"The Pelicans' interior defense and offense put a lot of pressure on us in the early stages! This is evident on the field. At this level today, I can't say which of the two teams is better," Chen Yinan continued after a short pause.
The Pelicans scored 35 points in the final quarter! However, they still failed to win against the Nets. The end of the third quarter was 92:86! The final result of the match was 122:121! With only 1 point separating Brooklyn from narrowly beating the Pelicans!
Cousins 26 points, 15 rebounds and 3 blocks! Davis 20 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists! Mirotic 23 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists! Rondo 8 points, 2 rebounds and 7 assists! Jackson had 19 points, 2 rebounds, 1 steal and 3 assists.
The team as a whole still maintains a relatively strong level in defense! But they started to have problems in the second half. It can also be seen that as long as one of Cousins and Davis is off the court, it will have a certain impact on the team.
In the fourth quarter, they woke up suddenly. With less than three minutes left, the Nets didn't know if they could win.
Nets' Mozgov had 11 points, 4 rebounds and 6 assists! Dent 12 points, 12 rebounds and 5 assists! Williamson had 29 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, and Jeremy Lin had 16 points, 5 rebounds and 10 assists! Rose 20 points, 1 rebound and 2 steals!
The team has multiple doubles. Dante's performance at the whole court seemed to be a good turning point, which made the team mentally improve a lot all of a sudden. Rose came back in good shape, but he usually doesn't choose to break through the offense right away, but looks for opportunities to shoot on the outside!
Chen's meaning is to let him work more on his outside shots and passes. This minimizes the number of injuries. During these injuries, the Rose herself has also begun to change some of the style of play that she used to stick to.
In fact, it was not easy for him. You can get great data for your highlight performance on the field. But there are also hidden dangers and risks that follow in that process. Every time he came to the Nets, a doctor who treated Rose with an injury said that he couldn't play like this on the court. It's easy to get hurt.
Then what is in front of him is to either play without doing difficult movements. Either you play very intensely. Now, if you want to play on the field for a few more years, it's better to choose the former.
Chen also said hello to him before he entered the Nets. That is, in this team, he has to follow the arrangement. Otherwise, the Nets will be kind enough to give him a sum of money and let him watch the game every day.
The next game is against the New York Knicks. This team feels weird right now. Maybe it's because of their relatively unstable performance. Sometimes when facing an average team, the Knicks will lose by a larger score.
But sometimes you can beat them when you come up against some good teams. This kind of performance also caused headaches for their managers and management. But if you compare it with the previous Knicks, it's still better.
It will be Porzingis, N'Golo Kante and Hardaway Jr. to watch out for in this game. Boshen's personal ability is still very strong. N'Golo Kante is also a good center in the league in terms of offense right now!
Although their defense is not very strong when they are under the basket, they can at least get back in scoring. The opponent's Moodier who is now coming from the Nuggets is still very good!
The arrival of Emanuel suddenly reduced the time of the team Jack and Hardaway Jr. in terms of organization! The technology is relatively comprehensive and the breakthrough ability is good!
It can be said that the current Knicks are not short of people in point guards. Emmanuel, who has started many games this season, is even more confident! The team is also more recognized by him.
Who doesn't love a defender who scores and passes well? It's not bad that the Nets got Burke from the Knicks. The two players are now treated well in New York and Brooklyn, respectively.
"This team can't be too relaxed. They, however, are recognized as powerful players in terms of leadership. Now Moodier, Hardaway Jr., and other new New York players are not low. Hardaway II is not saying that every game is sluggish, and as in the last game, be careful. ”
The assistant coaches basically mean that such a team should not be taken too seriously, but Chen feels that it is necessary to pay attention to it. He is no longer a Zen master, the New York Knicks of Anthony's time. Their game with the Bucks half a month ago impressed Chen Yinan.
Milwaukee's defensive intensity is so strong now, and it still lost to the Knicks in the end! They were in contrast to the loss to the Magic in the last game. The Magic are now relatively low in overall strength and rankings, taking over New York and losing to them.
And against the Bucks, they won the game. There are other reasons why the team can do this than the players. But that's not something for the Nets to think about.
Not far down the road, this game was played at Madison Square Garden. There are a lot of fans who come to the stadium! The atmosphere on the field was more enthusiastic!
"The other party's Moodier must have known to you. The individual ability of this player is still not weak. Efficiency can be very high sometimes! If you have a chance on the inside, or you feel that there is nothing wrong with attacking under the basket and you have done well in a few rounds, you can try again. The opposing team is sometimes not too weak in terms of defensive intensity, so if that's the case, the offensive intent should not be too obvious......"
Chen instructed his players in the locker room.
Today's starters for New York are N'Golo Kante, Porzingis, Reims, Hardaway Jr., Moodier! Moodier gets the team's start again! The players on the Nets' side are Mozgov, Egyptian Dius, Williamson, Jeremy Lin and Burke!
When Trey appeared on the field, there was a certain cheer from the audience. Burke's season may be the season of his fame~ The point of fame is more interesting, some are running for him to be like Iverson, and some are starting to have stable playing time and play well after he came to rebounding. There are also those who have both and watch his game.
The Nets have changed a lot of players over the years, but the team has become stronger and stronger. So some of the players in Brooklyn have successfully improved their ability, price and influence!
At the beginning of the game, Kanter took the lead in the basketball, and Moodier took his pass and hit a three-point shot straight from Burke! The New York fans in the stadium immediately cheered! This strong, flexible defender feels so practical!
This guy has a good control of his body and the rhythm of the game! He knows exactly when he can attack and when he has to pass the ball!
Lin dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, Burke took his pass and used Williamson's body to rush in after Hardaway Jr. didn't pass a few times, so that Kante received a foul and successfully played 2+1!
In order to win today's game more consistently, Chen let Burke now play point guard. Burke also feels quite comfortable now.
I wasn't sure if I could win the last game, but it was like that from the beginning. So Chen thinks it's okay to let Burke play playmaking guards. But this game is vaguely bigger than the Pelicans in terms of chances, so I still hope to win the game.
With Garnett and Rose returning from injury, the Nets feel less bottomless in every game. Garnett's personal experience has helped the Nets a lot. And Rose has a decent scoring ability!
Hardaway Jr. took the basketball, Porzingis immediately stood up, and Hardaway II came over and threw the shot. Kante gets the rebound and dunks to score! 5:3! It's still a bit frustrating for the Knicks' players.
While they don't know how far they can play for the rest of the season, they are still floating around eighth place in the East.
They also aspire to make the playoffs, but it won't be easy to get a ticket to the playoffs.
Burke took the pass again, and this time he chose to pass to Williamson. Mozgov saw Williamson's move, immediately took the basketball, turned around and jumped up, and shot the ball for 2 points in the air after a short pause! 5:5!
Emmanuel went to the frontcourt and did not choose to pass the ball, but shot a three-point jumper from Jeremy Lin and hit the basket! 8:5! How dare you vote! Moodier, who is now averaging 29.8 minutes per game this season, can get 14.7 points, 3.4 rebounds and 5.1 assists!
He's a morale boost for the team when he's on the field! Lin carried the ball to the frontcourt, and Williamson got his pass and rushed straight in to dunk and score! 8:7! At this time, the fans at the scene were a little surprised, this was easy to score even when Kante and Porzingis knew that he was going to attack!
That ball could have been fouled by Kante. Lin Zai talked to the referee about this, but in the end it was useless.
Boshen took Moodier's pass and jumped directly to hit a three-point shot when he was facing Williamson! 11:7! At this time, the atmosphere of the scene began to rise a little! Both teams are in good shape right now!
New York also has no intention of giving the Nets a chance. Williamson took the ball and played opposite Porzingis and also shot a three-pointer from the outside, but he missed. Kante gets the rebound and passes to Moodier!
The latter took the basketball, not immediately, but directly turned around and passed Jeremy Lin, changed the rhythm again, shook off the Egyptian Diyus, and began to accelerate and rush over! Seeing Burke coming, he didn't think much about accelerating again, and threw the ball directly to the basket very naturally, and the basketball brushed the rebound and went into the basket. 13:7!
It's rare to see a guy with this kind of physical quality as a defender. Some of his fans think he might be the next Westbrook or the next Wall! The evaluation of Emmanuel in the media is different from that of Porzingis.
If you think he's good, you'll say that this player is going to develop at the star level in the future! And some say that this guy should be an excellent blue-collar double-skilled guard in the future. As for star-level defenders? Basically impossible.
After Burke's jump shot was gone, Mozgov got the rebound and threw it and was directly blocked by Boshen! Moodier quickly stepped in to get the rebound and went to the frontcourt, and Hardaway Jr. took his pass and hit a three-point shot! 16:7! Chen was about to take a timeout.
"I said don't care too much about defense under the basket, not that you can do without defense. We should pay more attention to this aspect, okay? On the outside, don't attack too much. The other side is defending well in this regard. Williamson, Dante more passes. Pitch again when you have a chance outside......"
The Knicks should be in good shape today. From the way they play on the field, I think that's the case.
'Pass more balls to your team-mates in attack. Don't attack in a fixed way, so that the opponent will catch the pattern and defend quickly......" The Knicks didn't relax because the start went well.
After the timeout, the Nets replaced Deutte and Rose with Deyous and Burke of Egypt. The other party's state can't let them open up!
If that's the case, the rest of the game won't be easy to chase. So Chen immediately switched to a lineup that was good in defense and offense to play the current game.
Williamson missed a jumper after receiving the ball from Rose in the frontcourt, and Dent immediately got the rebound and passed the ball over. Williamson takes a step back and takes the basketball and hits a three-point shot! 16:10!
Dante is a good player in terms of fitness. And he did well in the game as well. So if he can keep playing like this, the Nets will be looking for the right player here!
At the No. 4 position, there are two players with good rebounding ability, Dante and Egyptian Dius. And then there's Garnett to attack and defend! So this season can be said to have strengthened in the position of Omae!
Hardaway Jr. went to the front, Kante took his pass and scored with a dunk from Mozgov! 18:10! Lin held the ball to the frontcourt, and Rose immediately took the basketball and jumped up to hit a three-point shot at Emmanuel!
Moodier passed the half, and Lance was directly cut off by Williamson not long after receiving the ball! The latter dribbled the ball past half court and rushed straight over to score with a tomahawk slam dunk! 18:15! Many of the Nets players on the court now want to overtake the score immediately!
Rose's personal form is still quite contagious to the team! The Knicks called for a timeout shortly after Williamson's dunk.
