Chapter 465: The rumors are true

"Remember what you were going to do last night, and you didn't care too much about scoring in the first quarter or even in the first half. Of course, it's not okay to fall too far behind. The team has Jonathan, Goodwin and Mozgov as the main offensive players! ”

"So offensively, did we play this morning or last night?" Egyptian Dius immediately asked.

"Only the one that was the main contact last night. Egyptian Dius and Goodwin, give me a lot of defense!! The team can have either Mozgov or Goodwin as the core! Other than those two, look at the rest, and give me a playoff level defense! When it comes to this, Jonathan don't ......"

Chen looked at the tactical board in his hand, and then recalled twice whether there was anything wrong with what he had just explained to the players. After seeing that it was correct, he turned his attention back to his team.

Today's Celtics lineup is Horford, Crowder, Brown, Thomas Jr., Allen. Hayward didn't play, and the team's current defensive form will be good!

Horford had 14.6 points, 7.3 rebounds and 4.8 assists last season! The average data per game this season is 13.7 points, 6.9 rebounds and 5.4 assists! This player has a very tough style of play and has a high basketball IQ in the team.

He has a wide field of vision and will use his body to attack, steal, and fight from time to time! Agile feet and high accuracy in mid-range shooting! Rebounding and defensive awareness are good! Excellent passing ability!

Such a player directly gives the feeling of a strengthened version of Mozgov! Coupled with Thomas Jr.'s assists, the team is not strong, it's a bit too much to say!

Crowder can contribute 12.4 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game this season! Short all-round defense No. 4 position! To say that Chen didn't think about Griffin at all is impossible. At this time, if Griffin is on the floor, it will increase the defensive intensity of the Nets a lot.

But that's not possible. Chan won't let him come back now. Crowder can be said to have gone to the position of star defensive power forward. His stats are good for the team!

Thomas Jr., the soul leader of the team! He is currently renewing his contract with Boston for 3 years and $31.32 million! Last season, he averaged 27.4 points, 2.1 rebounds and 6.8 assists per game!

The discussion about him on the Internet is still very high so far! Some say he's a copy of Iverson, and some say he's an enhanced version of the answer! Comparatively taller than Iverson, the data for a period of time surpassed Iverson! It is known as the strongest one meter seven five on the surface today!!

Although he is not tall, Thomas's spirit and attitude towards the game are very strong!! When the team's defense has problems, he comes to steal, and the team's score can't keep up with him's score! The team has cooperated with him to pass the ball! didn't cooperate with him to lead the team out of the encirclement alone!

Watching the NBA as a fan all year round when he has nothing to do, Chen knows, is this still the Celtics in the past? And the speed at which they are growing is a bit surprising! The era of the Big Three of the Green Shirts has passed, and it has been almost 10 years, are they about to usher in the era of attacking the championship again?!

It feels like the current Big Three Horford and Hayward are slightly less inferior than Garnett and Truth back then, but Thomas Jr. in the guard position is more technically comprehensive!

And as long as they can play well in terms of time, they can stay in Boston for a few more years!

The Nets' starters today are Mozgov, Egypt's Deyous, Jonathan, Jefferson and Goodwin.

Mozgov is now able to get 9.1 points, 7.8 rebounds and 3 assists this season! Typical blue-collar center stats. The pressure on the team is now greater, and only Egyptian Diyus can share some of it with him.

If Griffin can come back instead of scrapping him this season, it will still be easy in the late game. Even Chen was thinking from time to time, abolish Griffin? I'm afraid that this is not very likely, and the possibility of being fired by the Nets management is not small~

still has a lot of requirements for this big man, and at the same time, in Mozgov's usual hard training, it can be seen that the Nets' interior defense is at least a certain deterrent! Training Fight! Play ball and fight! This made Brooklyn feel a little bit more or less in his heart.

At least don't worry about arranging tactics. At the same time, the team is also training some other abilities that Mozgov was previously weak. And now he's developing his new skills, so I'm looking forward to seeing him when he can break out in a single game!

Egypt's Diyus can now get 4.3 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.2 assists! With an average of only 18.4 minutes per game, it can be said that the efficiency is not bad.

This season's Egyptian Diyus is still very good at rebounding! This is also his specialty, but he still does not perform well on the shooting end. When there is extra time, the Nets will arrange for him to shoot drills!

If his scoring can keep up, he can at least become a temporary main player and the first substitute player in some teams! At its peak, other teams offered him a single-year contract of $6.78 million, which was unguaranteed but still very tempting!

The Nets also came out to retain Egyptian Dius, although the young man did not ask the Nets for a price, and finally got a guaranteed contract of 5.23 million a year!

Jonathan can now get 17.7 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.6 assists! He now has a little experience of Chen's advice and predictions when he first entered the Nets as an assistant coach. Shooter type No. 3 position! The speed, awareness, and coordination on the field are refreshing, and it is different from last season!

Now he has become a more reliable offensive scoring point for the team! He owes more or less credit to the previous victories. At the beginning of the season, until now, the young player Jonathan has come up with a relatively high state and data!

The Nets are now in need of players like that who can come out and score! Therefore, although the current Nets have less Griffin, they can still compete with ordinary teams in terms of offensive killing!

It's game on! Mozgov took the lead and passed the ball to Goodwin, who was nearby, and immediately got rid of Allen next to him and quickly passed the ball to Jonathan! Egypt's Diyus jumped up and scored a dunk after receiving Jonathan's ball on the inside! 2:0!

Taking advantage of the opponent's lack of timely defense, the Nets immediately got the first goal of the game! Crowder slowly went to the sideline to serve to Thomas Jr.! The latter went directly through the half, and Brown got the ball and scored 2 points from a long distance into the net! Although the Nets are strengthening their defense, the opponent still scores relatively easily!

Chen and Coach Welch followed closely at the beginning to see what flaws the Celtics could have today so that the Nets could make a quick breakthrough in a certain period of time! I don't know if it's because of the aura of the opponent's home stadium or their form today and the question of strength.

At the beginning of the game, Chen Yinan felt that many performances of the other party made the Nets feel that they were immediately distancing themselves from them! This made Chen chuckle in his heart. Maybe the other side is now playing against the Nets with a 4-game winning streak! I guess I'm very confident now!

Thomas Jr. cut off the ball in the hands of Egyptian Deyous and made a long pass directly into Aaron's hands! The latter immediately dribbled a few times and hit a three-point shot! Then he pointed at Thomas and ran over!

Goodwin immediately dribbled the ball up front and passed it to Jefferson under the double bag, who was directly interfered with by Thomas Jr. after a few dribbles! Brown took the basketball and passed it to Crowder, who scored with a dunk! 7:2!

After receiving the pass, Jonathan faced Brown and went straight into the net with three points! 7:5! His teammates also know that only Jonathan is more accurate on the outside.

Crowder received the pass again, and Horford hit a 2-point jumper after getting the basket! 9:5!

Now Chen also sees what the team in the East can play against the Cavaliers looks like. Basically, they attacked with great poise. And the Nets' emphasis on defense now feels a bit of a nullity.

Holding the ball to the frontcourt, Jonathan fixed there to take a look and immediately passed the ball to Goodwin! The latter directly stepped back and shot a 2-point hollow through the net! 9:7!

After halftime, Thomas Jr. immediately jumped and hit a three-point shot into the basket! 12:7!

The Nets had their first timeout. This kind of fight doesn't have much effect, but it is quite according to the other party's way of thinking. It won't be long before the Nets are dragged into garbage time.

"Continue with the tactics you just had, but with a more offensive focus. You didn't eat today?! Stretch your arms out for me!! Quincy has a chance and is more sure to vote! Extra attention should be paid to the direct connection between Thomas Jr. and their inside line. When the opponent shoots, I will be glued, and when I am on the outside, the defender and the nearest player should come and help immediately......"

At the beginning of the game, Chen is very dissatisfied with the Nets' defense! But if you want to complete your ideas, you have to guard against it! Mike, Jeremy Lin, and Quincy will speed up the team's pace a lot when they get on the court!

The team needs a playmaker, but also a good defense at this time!

"Thomas Jr. don't stick to the ball too much, and get out more points in the team's cooperation! As soon as Hayward's opportunity came out, he burst out! Let's try to beat the opponent's state as much as possible in the first half! Let them 'train' on the pitch in the second half with their substitutes," Stevens said to his players without much expression.

For the Nets, his idea is to make the opponent have no ability to fight back as soon as possible. In the end, it's better to fight with them, although such a situation is basically unlikely, but it is still necessary to take precautions.

After Chen strengthened the team's defensive and offensive lineup, he saw that the opponent's big three were all on the field. In the first quarter, the opponent was about to experience a depressing atmosphere in Brooklyn.

After returning to the court, Lin slowly came to the front court with the ball, and Mike received the ball and passed it to Mozgov! In the face of these two people's bags, the other party decisively received a foul!

Stand by the free throw line and make 2 of 2 free throws! 12:9! The opponent's defensive intensity has also come up! After Hayward took Allen's ball, he directly feigned and rushed out in the face of this Mike! Quincy visibly felt like she was a beat slower and watched Hayward throw the ball in!

came to the front court, Lin held the ball and faced this little Thomas and planned to accelerate the layup but was directly cut off by the opponent! Immediately, Goodwin broke the basketball when the opponent didn't notice it, and immediately passed the ball to Mike, and Jamilin was already in a good position at this time, and after getting Mike's ball, he hit a three-point shot directly! 14:12!

The score is gradually catching up! At this time, Jeremy Lin also felt that he couldn't just pass the ball all the time. Immediately after Crowder's shot missed, Mike got the basketball and passed it to Quincy, who went straight to the net with a three-point hollow! 15:14!

Russell went up. Lin does a point guard! Defensively, we still have to work hard. Don't let the opponent score too quickly! ”

Allen dribbled the ball across the halfcourt, and Thomas Jr. directly took the basketball for three points! After Crowder got the rebound, he dribbled and threw the ball up, and Horford, who was not far away, jumped directly and scored a dunk! 16:15!

Russell received Mozgov's pass and was blocked directly by Allen and Thomas Jr. Lin almost lost the ball when he received the ball in the front court! However, I found that no one came over to defend and hit a three-point shot directly! 18:16!

Now it's the Green Shirts who are some of the passive! The Nets are open on the outside! From time to time, the three points make the opponent a little unbearable......

Horford got the basketball back single, Mozgov scored 2 points and easily scored the account! 18:18! Russell came to the front court and missed a three-point shot! Mozgov got the ball and passed it to Mike, and Quincy took the ball and scored a layup!

After Hayward took the basketball, he faced this Mike and passed the opponent again, and was successfully interfered with by the rushing Quincy when he took off! Claude accidentally dunked the basketball after getting the ball! Lin got the ball on one side and rushed straight to the edge of the line! Facing Aaron, who had just arrived, Jamilin slowed down directly and suddenly accelerated past the opponent's layup to score points! 22:18!

32:25! At the last moment, the Nets made two more mistakes to let the opponent catch up with the score! A difference of 7 points is not too much. However, such a performance in the first quarter made Stevens a little unhappy.

Due to the opponent's high-intensity offense, the Nets also have to consider how to keep the scores of the two sides from falling too far behind when defending! All the time in the first quarter was basically a certain amount of time, and the two teams kept trying to defend and quickly break away from each other!

The Nets don't want to get rid of their opponents, and their strength is relatively limited. Horford and Crowder pressed Mozgov on the inside with a lot of intensity! Fortunately, Mike and Quincy were able to assist Mozgov on the side sometimes, so that they wouldn't be picked up too many rebounds by the other side!

The tug-of-war will continue until the end of the first half! At the same time, Chen was thinking about what lineup the opponent would send out in the second quarter. This will have a direct impact on Brooklyn's roster for the second half.

However, when the game started again, Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and the opponent did not change the lineup. The Nets replaced Mozgov with Egyptian Diyus! It's time to test the Nets in this quarter!

"Strikers must not run too far and grab rebounds with Egyptian Diyus at any time! Sometimes our offense is not bad, but you must know that now our main task is to defend, which is to let the opponent score less than who we fight with the opponent to score more. Pay attention to this, and when you're on this side......"

If you don't tell you too much, the players are likely to be out of shape when they are playing on the field. And they're probably going to play the way they want. Maybe the effect is good in the short term, but the other party immediately realizes that there is a rhythm chaos on this end, then the Nets are in danger!

Hayward carries the ball to the front court and immediately passes it to Horford. The latter was directly about to dunk and was directly covered by an amazing big hot pot from the sudden appearance of Egyptian Dius! The opponent didn't have a temper at all in this goal!

After Mike got the ball, he threw the ball in the direction he had just seen, Russell didn't see it right, and immediately retracted his body and received the basketball, and then made a long pass directly to Lin. Jamie Lin took the basketball and accelerated the layup directly! 32:27!

Thomas Jr. dribbled the ball across the half court after getting the ball, and in the face of the Nets' double bag, he passed it directly, and then changed direction and accelerated to the inside line of the Nets, and directly leaned back to shoot 2 points into the basket steadily! 34:27! It is estimated that the cooperation of the Nets just now also angered him a little!

Mike, who got the ball, went straight to the basket and was interfered with by Thomas Jr. in the air! After the basketball was in Crowder's hands, he immediately passed the ball to Allen, and Horford dribbled a few times in the middle court and jumped directly into the account for 2 points! 36:27!

Lin holds the ball to the front court and shoots a long-range three-pointer! 36:30!

At this time, Chen could obviously hear the sound of cheering for Jeremy Lin and the Nets in the audience!

"What's the operation?" Chen looked back at the black question mark on his face immediately after that~

"What's wrong, Chen?" Welch saw that Chen Yinan beside him was not quite right, and immediately asked.

"It's supposed to be a Green Shirt fan wearing a Celtics uniform, right?"

"It's hard to say~ Maybe it's just that the Brooklyn Nets jersey happened to be washed and didn't dry today~" After Welch finished speaking, the two of them laughed~ A group of fans wearing Celtics uniforms are cheering for the Nets at this time! Looking at their atmosphere, it's not bad~

From the beginning, I only cheered for the direct home team, and now the scene has been a little different. Fans feel that Brooklyn's "courage is commendable"~ The Celtics have been trying to distance the game, but they can always let the other side score again!

The score has also been going on with a certain point difference. Hayward accelerated to feign a shot and then immediately passed the ball to Thomas Jr., who had already arrived! The latter hit a direct three-point shot! Russell dribbled slowly through the half, and suddenly hit the ground and passed to Quincy, who immediately returned a three-pointer! 39:33!

"According to this rhythm, we estimate that we will be able to temporarily maintain a not high score difference with the opponent in the first half." Chen said casually.

"That proves that we still have a chance!"

"That's right! As long as the first half is played, the opportunity is won by our players! Chen was a little excited, but immediately turned around and went back to watching the game. The game is still long, and at the start of the second half, the Nets may have a chance to tie or even overtake the score in a few rounds!

65:54! An 11-point margin is still acceptable. Chen expects one or two of the team's leading players to come off the court in the third quarter. If the opponent insists on playing the third quarter, they may have a chance to overtake the score in the final quarter!

In the second half, Chen plans to spend the whole team on offense! The time when the opponent needs to regain blood for the time being, it is time for Brooklyn to immediately counterattack!

In the third quarter, sure enough, Thomas Jr. went off the break. The Nets replaced Teague, and Jonathan's two-man team tied with the Celtics at the end of the third quarter! 91:91!

What Chen didn't expect happened in the fourth quarter.
