Chapter 704: Simplification
Obviously, if you don't catch up right now, this game will be rushed. With the Cavaliers feeling good overall, their coach took this game very seriously, and Cleveland showed terrifying ability tonight!
18:11! After Lin hit that three-pointer, the scene immediately cheered! There is still a lot of pressure on the Nets at the moment! The Cavaliers have only played a few minutes in this quarter now? That's 18 points!
Wade quickly got the ball to the frontcourt, Tristan didn't shoot a jumper after taking the basket! Egypt's Dius gets a quick rebound and passes to Williamson! Although his personal abilities are good. But tonight's Cavaliers still have confidence in his defense!
This is also in line with that sentence, temporary achievements may not say anything. After coming to the NBA, some newcomers have really shown good individual ability! However, some of them were immediately submerged again.
Only by consistently playing in good form can it be said that there is a certain degree of subsequent recognition from fans and the media. Russell got the basketball after half court and immediately dribbled quickly and jumped to hit a three-pointer! 18:14!
The Cavaliers tonight feel like they're not facing the Nets at playoff level! Russell was immediately shocked by one of his own thoughts when he thought of this! Could it be that they are playing against Brooklyn at the level of the Eastern Conference Finals?!
That's how it should be! It makes sense for now. Thomas Jr. passed the ball to Wade after half court, and James jumped into the bottom corner with a quick three-point hollow into the net under the defense of Egyptian Diyous! 21:14!
In less than 6 minutes, Cleveland had scored 21 points! Williamson has mixed feelings tonight. I never expected this to be the case! In his vision, he should win against them today after a few quarters like the Lakers, the team in front of him!
But that's not the case at all! It's almost a luxury for the Nets to fall behind by a small score right now! The opponent can quickly beat the Nets until the end of the game at any time!
Lin slowly held the ball through the half, quickly distanced himself from Thomas Jr. and threw it to score points! 21:16! At present, as long as there is not much chance, Jemilin will choose to attack on his own!
LeBron's another three-pointer didn't score! Williamson immediately got the rebound and dribbled to the frontcourt, and went straight back with a three-pointer without defense! 21:19!
There's no regular style of play on the Brooklyn side at the moment. The main point of attack fell on Jeremy Lin and Williamson!
40:32! The Nets ended the first quarter of the game by 8 points behind in a hard-fought battle with the Cavaliers!
The other party is going back very easily. There was clearly no ease on the faces of the players on the Nets' side.
"It's okay," Chen said, looking down at what he was going to say to them in the second quarter. Sounds a little more relaxing. The players were all waiting for Chen after a little rest at this time.
"Good performance. I thought it was going to be 45:20~ They didn't get the score I expected, and you guys exceeded my expectations a lot. Although I may have been a little less optimistic just now~" The players didn't expect Chen to say this, so everyone was not as nervous as they were just now. Some players thought Chen was going to lose his temper and say they weren't defensive.
"Don't defend too much on the opponent's inside, Quincy will go up in a moment. Pull you away, Lin, Russell, you all pull away and fight each other for scores! In the second quarter, perhaps the other side will not relax in the slightest. The aim is to end the game early. I think they're overthinking. Look here, there are some changes to the tactics......"
Chen quickly talked to the players about a few of his points to pay attention to and the main playing style, and the game started again!
The Cavaliers' lineup hasn't changed since they returned. Russell took Quincy's serve and went to the frontcourt, and Mozgov took the basketball and immediately shot a 2-point jumper into the net! 40:34!
Chen stood quietly on the sidelines watching his team's game against the Cavaliers. If you do make it to the Eastern Conference Finals and meet them. Then it should be time to show the basic abilities of the Cavaliers!
How can we deal with such capabilities? Chen's question just disappeared from his mind as soon as he passed. He didn't dare to think about it at the moment. Under the leadership of Thomas Jr. and Wade, even if James is out of the game, they can make the team play a big role!
After receiving James's pass, Love did not continue to dribble, but jumped directly into the net with a three-point hollow! 43:34! It is not clear how many points the opponent will score in this quarter...... Look at them and they have no intention of stopping!
Lin dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and Quincy took a step back after getting the basketball and shot a three-point jumper! Love got the rebound and passed the ball to James, who got the ball and went to the frontcourt and dunked immediately when Williamson didn't catch up! 45:34!
Chen knows that if Rose comes up now, it will still be of some help to the team! But he felt like it wasn't the time! The strength of the opponent's bench players is also good, and at that time, a player needs to lead the team to fight hard with the opponent!
Lin's three-pointer was missed, and Tristan got the rebound and passed the ball to Wade, who didn't score a three-pointer after getting to the frontcourt. The basketball went directly out of bounds, Russell got Williamson's serve and passed the half, Williamson took his pass without the slightest pause and rushed directly to the opponent's basket to dunk with both hands to score points!! 45:36!
Williamson was like a beast at this time, not giving the other party any chance to react! Lew asked for a timeout at this point.
"Then your new players have to try to hold back the pace and score as much as possible. We're going to get them into garbage time quickly. When defending, the opposing Quincy and Williamson should pay more attention. Quincy isn't a player who scores a lot, but he's easy to shoot threes right away......"
Korver and Smith listened for a while before coming onto the court.
"Or what I said at the beginning, the opponent's interior line doesn't need to be too strict defensively. It is mainly based on the main breakouts! Give me the offensive efficiency! Don't think too much about defending or something, and other things. Grab a little and do it! And things like coordination, rhythm, awareness, etc., should be used as an auxiliary ...... to improve offensive efficiency."
Chen felt uncomfortable seeing that Lu was about to take a timeout so early. It's not false to say that he's serious today! Judging by the age of some of the Cavaliers' current players, it would be beneficial for the Nets to keep playing.
But in the end, they didn't choose to do so. It's a sign of self-confidence, and the intent is more obvious. They believe the bench players can also hold Brooklyn down. Then, in the later games, as long as some of the main players come back, then today's game will basically come to an end.
Since this is the case, then Chen has nothing to keep. He asked the players to focus on breaking points! Don't think too much about anything else. As long as they can not fall too far behind in points, the Nets still have a chance to surpass them!
Russell came off the court and began to regain his fitness level as he waited for the third quarter of the game. Crabbe came to the field and chatted with Lin and Mozgov. It was brief, and then Smith came over. Korver took the basketball on the other side and quickly found Tristan as a cover and then went straight into the net with a three-point hollow! 48:36!
Shooter No. 3 Korver's three-point shooting is sometimes not too accurate! James and his teammates immediately cheered for the goal just now! The ball looked cool, but there was no expression on Lu's face. He's waiting for the end of the first half!
If your team can take a big lead over the Nets in the first half, then you have to adjust tactically. If it's just about 10 points ahead of them, do I need to make some other changes?
The coach who has been able to lead Cleveland to several championships is no joke. He's also in the Nets' recent performances and wants to give it a try! Is Thibodeau in Minnesota crispy? Is Coach Kerr still famous? And the teams of the two lost to the Nets coached by Chen Yinan one after another!
Chen thought that the other party would be prepared, but he didn't expect the other party to fight against the Nets with such an attitude!! Crabbe quickly held the ball to the front court, and when he quickly hit the ground in front of Smith and passed to Forest, he was directly cut off by Thomas Jr.
I wanted to pass the ball to my teammates, but seeing that there was no more chance, Thomas Jr. immediately hit a super long three-pointer in the front court! 51:36!
This kind of game intensity still makes the Nets feel quite shocked! Every round of the playoffs is different. When it's time to decide, it's a different story! Intensity: Maybe a few mistakes and not very good form of the opponent will bury the game immediately!
Lin slowly passed the half, and Crabbe jumped up immediately after getting the basketball and shot a three-point shot! Quincy got the rebound and passed the ball to Lin, and Williamson took Lin's pass and quickly burst in to get Tristan a foul! Then 2 free throws and 2 hits! 51:38!
After returning from the timeout, Brooklyn seems to be having trouble offensively! Korver's shot missed! Williamson stepped forward to get the basketball, immediately dribbled past Korver's defense, and immediately got up to the front court, and then stopped and jumped to shoot a three-point hollow into the net! 51:41!
Smith received Thomas Jr.'s pass in the bottom corner and dribbled directly to the basket for a layup to score points! 53:41! The action and rhythm made Mozgov and Quincy not react for a while!
Not much is being asked for now. All your team needs to do is narrow the gap to within 10 points in the first half. Otherwise, it's still hard to say. Narrowed to less than 10 points, in the third quarter, if the opponent did not press too hard, Brooklyn has the hope of being able to close the score difference, and even tie or overtake the opponent, it is not completely impossible!
The DJ was stirring up the emotions of the fans at this time. Everyone was very excited to watch the game at this time. It wouldn't be right to say that the Nets are losing now. The Cavaliers are great right now, but the age of some of their players is there!
If their manager wants to protect his players and shorten their playing time, then there is hope for Brooklyn. Judging from the regular season and other teams, Williamson is more prominent!
However, when competing with a team like the Cavaliers, especially when Cleveland is very serious today, Williamson doesn't think so badly! In the interval between the last game and the last game, the Cavaliers studied Williamson! They spent quite a bit of time on this!
The team needs to have strength, speed and speed, singles and singles, scores and points, and physical confrontation. So although a player like Williamson is relatively rare, it is not too difficult to defend against him.
The Cavaliers also saw some results in today's game. In the process of attacking, Williamson began to think about whether this attack would be blocked by the opponent. Especially when Tristan and James are present!
Williamson took over the basketball, and the scene immediately began to be lively! Facing Korver's defense, Williamson suddenly lifted up and scored points at Tristan after easily passing! After hitting the free throw, it successfully scored 2+1! 53:44!
The dunk reminded Tristan of something similar to his team's workout against James. After the little emperor was gone, Williamson also began to plan to score some points!
If there are any shortcomings in the current comparison between Williamson and James, the more obvious one should be the experience in the NBA! And if there is anything better than LeBron, it should be his youth.
The media likes to compare Williamson to some of the players in the league today. For example, James, chasing dreams. And then there's Butler of the Timberwolves! The similarities between the two men are that they are both very energetic on the field. And it makes people feel tireless!
Now the Nets not only need to defend, but also need the team to have good offensive ability. So Williamson was also a little distracted while playing. You can't be too juggling on the defensive end.
Thomas Jr. went to the frontcourt, and Korver immediately went into the net with three points after getting the basket! 56:44! Some exclamations can be heard at this time! Can't this difference be narrowed by 12 points?
Basketball is coming to Williamson again. After attracting two defenders, Williamson immediately hit the ground and passed to Jeremy Lin. Lin hit a three-point shot when no one was guarded! 56:47!
The audience immediately cheered! The Nets have been figuring out how to deal with the Cavaliers in the game today! After the second quarter came back from a timeout, Cleveland's offense was still fierce. But they're still a little weaker defensively.
This gives the Nets some opportunities to break through quickly! Smith carried the ball across half the court and was whistled for a three-point jumper in front of Williamson after passing Crabbe, and was whistled for a foul by the referee. 2 of 3 free throws from the free throw line! 58:47!
Williamson held the ball to the frontcourt, and Crabbe took the basketball and jumped for three points! Quincy didn't come out quickly after getting the rebound and didn't make a three-pointer! Mozgov grabbed another rebound! The camera was immediately given to Lu at this time......
At this time, Coach Lu's expression was very ugly...... He took a deep breath and watched the game. Lefu felt a cold back at this time......
Williamson immediately rushed over to dunk after receiving the ball from Mozgov, but was hugged directly by Love. 2 of 2 free throws, 58:49!
Thomas Jr. carried the ball to the frontcourt, and after receiving the basketball, Lefu immediately ran out and shot a three-point jumper in the bottom corner into the net! 61:49!
Lin slowly made his way to the frontcourt, and Williamson took the basketball and immediately passed the ball to Crabbe. After the latter's jumper was missed, Quincy got the rebound, pulled it out quickly, and threw the ball under Tristan's defense!
