Chapter 683: Temporary Choice
There are still a lot of uncertainties in this game for the Nets. Although the opposing team was not too strong in previous seasons, this season is still different. Whether it is the record or the live game footage, it gives people a refreshing feeling.
Chen's idea, in addition to getting the team to defend well, is to see how well they play with the Hornets in the first few quarters. If you are still behind at the end of the third quarter, then this game is very dangerous!
13:12! Brooklyn overtook the other side! After Walker won the basketball, after half the court, Marvin immediately took the basketball and deducted the points! 14:13!
27:26! In the final first quarter, the Hornets took the lead for the time being.
After coming back in the second quarter, the opponent replaced Batum with Lamb, and Russell of the Nets came to the court.
Monk quickly got to the frontcourt, and Lamb took his pass and hit a three-point shot straight away! 30:26! Looking at their momentum now, it doesn't seem to be any reduction at all!
Russell dribbled the ball across the half, and Jonathan took the basketball and directly used Allen's body to hit a 2-pointer! 30:28!
......
"It's still the same as the last game. After all, they're in great shape. If we fight them too much, there may be some problems. Chen still felt a little regretful when he said this.
The overly conservative style of play made the team fall into a lot of passivity in the second quarter! From the coaching staff, the faces of some of the assistant coaches were also a little anxious. But that's what Chen really thinks about later in this section.
The team really has a good player! Because many teams are not familiar with his individual ability, he is still a relatively good X player in the Nets!
Talked a lot to the TAs at halftime! In the following competition, we also discussed it again.
At the end of the first half, the score was fixed at 62:48! The opposing lineup in the third quarter was Kaminski, Zeller, Batum, Lamb, McCarvey. On this side of the Nets are Allen, Quincy, Williamson, Jeremy Lin and Crabbe!
"Attack on the outside. All that's left is to stand in your position at a certain point and don't move. Try to slow down the opponent's speed and pay more attention defensively. Don't be too rigid to defend the opponent, the Hornets players won't be so easy to fool......"
The game was back and the end of the second quarter was a big blow to the home fans...... Who would have thought that the difference of only 1 point in the first quarter would become 14 points in the second quarter......
"Ready, I'll pass the ball in a moment, and I'll shoot when I get the chance," Jeremy Lin said to Williamson in a low whisper. He was still quite comfortable with this young fellow.
"Make sure you get the job done," Williamson said before serving to Jamilin. The latter got to the front court and passed the opponent under McCarvey's defense, but suddenly passed the ball to Williamson, who was already in a good position, at Batum's place!
The three points right away smashed straight out of the basket! Quincy picked up a rebound and landed a pass to Crabbe. The latter jumped straight up and hit a three-point shot! 62:51!
Crabbe and Williamson are both players Chan wants them to play well in this quarter! On the inside, the Nets really don't have too good players right now.
After Lamb received McCarvey's ball, he quickly changed direction and quickly passed the defenses of Jeremy Lin and Quincy, and scored 2 points on a step-back jumper! 64:51!
Some of the Hornets' players are free to switch between the No. 3 position and the shooting guard without any pressure! Their feature is that they can break out quickly in a short period of time! This kind of performance is really unbearable for some teams in the league.
So after seeing the opponent appear in the third quarter, it was still very difficult for Brooklyn to overtake! Zeller and Kaminsky appeared on the court at the same time, and there was still a fear that the Nets would send Egyptian Diyus.
The coach of the Hornets knows what the big man of the Nets is capable of! Rebounding and defense are good. It's just that their worries are a little unnecessary, and Egyptian Diyus will not come back in this game.
Mozgov sat quietly on the sidelines at this time, and he still needed to play in the fourth quarter.
Crabbe made his way through the half, tossing a high pass to Williamson under Lamb's defence. The latter burst in under the defense of Zeller and Kaminsky and dunked with both hands to score points! 64:53! The scene was immediately ignited by this strong young man!
Quincy and Crabbe went to the referee to look for a whistle, but the referee ignored the two men.
"Forget it, it's nothing" Williamson pulled Crabbe, worried that he would be blown for a technical foul by the referee or something.
Chen nodded slightly on the sidelines. This guy is calm enough, and he didn't have any emotional ups and downs when he was almost hugged by Zeller just now.
Batum quickly passed the half, and after passing the opponent directly from Williamson, his aerial throw was successfully interfered with by Quincy! After Williamson, he ignored the somewhat short Quincy.
Allen immediately jumped high to get the rebound and immediately passed the ball to Williamson. Lin jumped up and hit a three-point shot after receiving the ball from Williamson in the front court! 64:56!
McCarvey immediately returned a three-pointer in the frontcourt! 67:56!
There are still some differences between the Hornets and the Knicks. The former is now cooperating with each other, because there are more grasps in the early stage, and the players' abilities and awareness in this regard are good, so by now, the team's tacit understanding has been a lot!
So it's more difficult to play against such a team.
Williamson took Lin's pass and froze, and immediately got past Batum and got up again, with Zeller hanging on his body, and he dunked the basketball in! Zeller still didn't hide his surprise in the air, and glanced at this guy who he still can't name now, and it is estimated that he should know him after this game!
After a brief exchange between the two referees, Zeller was given a foul. Because he didn't stand firm, Zeller almost smashed the reporter sitting nearby......
Williamson easily stood by the free throw line, scored the ball and successfully played 2+1! 67:59!
Lamb dribbled the ball slowly, and when he saw Batum coming, he directly used his body to make a layup on the other side, but Williamson was already waiting for him in the air! Before I had time to take it back, the other party was a bloody cap!!
The basketball went out of bounds, and Batum went to the sideline to serve to Zeller. The latter immediately threw the basketball and hit the board into the basket! 69:59!
Lin takes the basketball and passes the ball quickly to Williamson! Before Allen could rush back, Williamson immediately passed Batum and immediately dribbled and rushed over quickly, and dunked directly with one hand to score points! At this time, the Hornets had the same expression at the end of the game against the Knicks...... 69:61!
If Kobe Bryant is similar to Jordan back then, then will the current Williamson be a copy of LeBron?! His attacking ability and awareness on the field are very good, although there are some mistakes at times, but most of the time he is still in a good ability.
After cutting off McCarvey's pass, Williamson drew three defenders after half-time and immediately passed the ball to Crabbe behind him. The latter immediately hit a jumper with a three-point shot! 69:64! The other party directly asked for a timeout!
"Howard has to keep an eye on the other end...... Williams? Oh, Williamson guys! The offense had to be fast, and the main offense was launched by Howard, Batum and Lamb ......"
Seeing that the momentum of the Hornets gradually weakened, the coach of the Hornets replaced the Warcraft, and emphasized that the team's rhythm should not be disturbed by the other party, and it should still be faster, faster!
Sometimes Charlotte's starting speed and their offensive efficiency really make the team's scoring improve quickly! At the same time, it can also make the confidence of the opposing team suffer a big impact!
The Hornets are still going to be a little slower in terms of speed. They're looking to see how the Nets are different from the team they were in the first half.
Zeller got the ball and then singled Quincy successfully! 71:64!
Quincy went to the sideline to serve to Lin, Crabbe didn't have three points after going to the frontcourt, and Allen was squeezed out directly by Howard! After a few hard swings of his elbow, the surrounding players immediately gave up the scramble.
Batum immediately received the pass from the monster and hit a three-point shot directly in the half! 74:64!
"There will still be some problems with Howard's fitness at that time. So we should have a good chance on this side," Chen said to his coaches when Quincy was second out by Zeller, and in the last 7 seconds, Lamb received a long pass and hit a three-pointer in the frontcourt! 90:81!
The Hornets still held on to their lead in the quarter. After the monster returned, the rebounds were guaranteed, and the rapid bursts of Batum and Lamb allowed the Nets to not even tie in the end.
At this point, the faces of the players on the Brooklyn side showed some tiredness. They felt that the game was a bit hanging.
"Don't care too much about the other party's cap! Find an opportunity, see that this time is good, and immediately make a break! Some of the opponent's players have begun to decline more in terms of physical fitness. These two places, come and take a look, Lin, Jefferson, you two can consider making a strong break in this position! Williamson, Quincy immediately covered. Also, when the opponent attacks, you have to help defend immediately, and you don't have to ...... too much."
Chen saw the players coming back anxiously as if he was going to grab them out of the air, and began to talk after pulling Quincy and Jefferson by clothes, who had just been called. Although the assistant coaches felt that their hopes for the game after the third quarter were a little small, they saw that Chen was still not affected much, and they were more interested in talking there all the time, and they also gathered around to listen.
During this short break, Chen drew and talked back and forth on the tactical board, the amount of information was really not small, but the players listened to it, except for Chen's clear pronunciation, in fact, the arrangement was relatively easy to understand. However, it should be noted that there are some key details to pay attention to when performing some tasks, which Chen also emphasized.
The monster who came back from the fourth quarter was still on the court, and the Nets' Jefferson replaced Crabbe. Jefferson, who didn't play back for some time, was a little uncomfortable.
When the opponent's interior line starts to loosen, it is a good opportunity for the Nets! It is determined that there will be problems on the other side. If Howard doesn't come up in the third quarter, or if he only comes up at the end, then the game will be much more difficult.
The Hornets are worried, too. This decision was made in the end. Whether it was against the Nets in the final quarter or continuing to maintain the lead in the third quarter, they chose the latter. Since the latter has been chosen, the stakes increase here in the last section.
Walker had the ball across half court, and Lamb took the ball and immediately passed it to Zeller. Quincy guards against each other! Suddenly, the monster jumped up and dunked after taking the basketball to score points! 92:81!
Lin passed half the court and gestured with his teammates! Williamson took the basketball and immediately hit the ground and passed the ball to Jefferson! Sure enough, it was exactly as expected!
Before the Hornets could react, they saw Jefferson take off and dunk to score points! 92:83!
If Mike was still on the team, he would have liked this style of play! Since he was not too sure of the shot, Chen simply let the two strong players, Jefferson and Williamson, attack the opponent's basket!
After the end of this quarter, the Hornets will definitely ask their players to focus on who to defend in this quarter. Needless to say, Williamson and Jeremy Lin should be on this list.
Lamb's jumper was capped off by Williamson directly in the air! Seeing that the referee didn't react, Lamb immediately went over and told the referee what had just happened. But in exchange for a roll of the referee's eyes and a look that seemed to tell him not to follow me......
"I ...... I'm just talking about it, well......" Lamb suddenly stopped when he saw the referee stop immediately, and then said a few casual words before leaving in a huff.
This season, the referee's penalties have increased a lot. Lamb doesn't want to be a "victim", and who knows if he'll be ejected right away...... From the news I saw, I heard that James, Robin, and Durant were directly expelled by the referee in the game......
Because it was Walker who didn't get the ball out of bounds at the end. So it's the ball of the Nets, Lin received Williamson's pass and saw that the other party didn't react much, and suddenly sped past Marvin and jumped directly to score points! 92:85!
Zeller missed a jumper after receiving a pass from Lamb in the frontcourt, and Mozgov immediately got the rebound and passed the ball to Jefferson. The latter will pass half right away! Williamson dunks and scores! 92:87!
After a moment's hesitation, the Hornets asked for the last timeout of the game. Kaminsky was swapped back.
Marvin missed the shot after receiving Walker's pass! Kaminski got the rebound and passed the ball back. Walker hit a direct three-point shot! 95:87!
What I didn't expect was that Williamson immediately went to the front court and shot a three-point jump into the net! 95:90!
At this time, the atmosphere is starting to heat up! The cheers of the fans are also much higher! Walker held the ball to the frontcourt, Zeller took the basketball and turned around and jumped shot was directly blocked by Mozgov! Williamson took the basketball and rushed over immediately! Lin got a basketball three-pointer after half time at this time! 95:93!
Lamb took the serve and slowly moved to the front court, where he passed the ball to Marvin decisively under the bag of Jefferson and Lin. Walker jumped up and hit a three-point shot after getting the basketball behind him and using Marvin's height as a cover! 98:93!
When the whole team was in a bit of a slump, Walker still stepped up and contributed to the score! After Williamson received the ball in the front court, he met Marven, thinking that as long as this guy in front of him passed by the side, the chance would become bigger! Just as he was about to make a move to pass, the center of gravity under his feet was unstable, and he fell down with Marven!
