Chapter 665: Unable to Parry
Jefferson passes the ball directly to Crabbe after being blocked by Warren! The latter immediately hit a jumper in front of Booker! 87:79! The players on this side of the Phoenix Suns are getting serious at this point!
Warren received Daniels' pass and quickly rushed across the halfcourt, turned around at Jefferson, and made a layup to make Willy receive a foul and successfully play 2+1! 87:82! After Willy's jumper missed, Chandler immediately got the rebound and quickly passed the ball to Booker.
Daniels jumped straight up and hit a 2-point shot! 87:84!
In the next game, the Suns gradually grasped the initiative and finally defeated the Nets 114-105! Jim laughed at the end. It's just the kind of smile that accepts the result. There is also a helpless emotion in it.
Chen only learned the news in the evening. He didn't watch the rest of the game. Since returning to the hotel, I haven't watched the news about sports. After talking to a few coaches on the phone, I started watching TV.
Atkinson still felt sorry at the time, and the opponent's rapid burst at the last moment made the Nets fall directly into passivity. Now Brooklyn's defense is not only declining, but even the rebounding struggle is much worse than last season.
And today's news is more interesting. The news "What does the Knicks' 2-1 win in the three games after Chen's departure say" attracted Chen's attention, but after watching it for a while, it felt like it was just a simple description.
The Knicks' comments in the media are now starting to run high again. Some think New York will be overly good. Others felt that it would be a mistake to let Chen go. Isn't his record with the New York Knicks enough to say something.
The most outstanding thing is that Porzingis has scored an astonishing 30.3 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists in the last three games! In fact, what is revealed is that the team began to have Porzingis as the core, but the team's cooperation began to decline.
Jack didn't even get a single in the second game. The Pistons, Bucks, and Cavaliers are starting to pick up in terms of results. The Pistons and Cavaliers are two teams that are 3-0 in their last three games.
There was no surprise on the knight's side. There are times a year when they start to lose like a play, and then chase it back later~ They do have this ability! And the Pistons' words are more surprising.
Perhaps as they say, after moving away from their remote home stadium to play in the city centre, the new arena heralds a fresh start to the season. Maybe the Pistons will come back to the center of the NBA. Regain a lot of eyes and attention!
The next game is the Minnesota Timberwolves. Chen feels like he remembered correctly when he was with the Knicks, and his first game was the same team. There were some fans at Barclays Center today, but judging by the color of the clothes, it seems that they are Timberwolves fans...... There was an embarrassing atmosphere in the scene~
After this game, Chen will go back. During this period, Chen went back three times, but did not meet a single player. I also turned off my own phone. Basically, it doesn't turn on much. Just on the phone with Dinwiddie, Jeremy Lin and Russell.
Although it was a week, Chen had to prepare for the future games in addition to some preparations for returning to the team during this time. Looking at the ticket sales on the Internet, there are still 3 hours before the game, and there are still many tickets in the stadium that have not been sold. Chen casually bought a $480 ticket, which was on the upper side.
Chen also brought a small telescope with him for this purpose. What he didn't expect was that he was not recognized by the people around him after arriving at the scene.
"The Timberwolves will win! Timberwolves game!! As the DJ added to the atmosphere, he also felt that maybe the Timberwolves would have more fans than the Nets tonight......
Towns didn't start today, and the Timberwolves' lineup was Kerr, Gibson, Butler, Teague, Wiggins. On the Nets' side, Mozgov, Egyptian Diyous, Jefferson, Russell and Crabbe are in order.
Coach Jim has shown some quality in these three games. In today's game, the Nets' lineup has changed a lot again. In fact, he began to give his first impression of the players in the team in such a lineup.
On the one hand, it has the meaning of testing the team, and it will be more convenient to arrange the players by yourself in the later games. There is still a big difference between such an assistant coach and those of the Nets before him.
At the start of the game, Kerr got the basketball and passed the ball quickly to Teague. The latter used his speed in front of Crabbe to pass the opponent and then scored 2 points! Some of the players the Nets have traded over the years have now become the team's main players!
For example, Bojan and Booker, they are now playing an important role in other teams! And Bojan and Teague have both had a salary of more than 10 million in a single year after adjustment this season!
Russell slowly went to the frontcourt, and Jefferson got the basketball and was unexpectedly blocked by Egyptian Diyus when he went to the basket! Fortunately, Kerr was behind Diyous in Egypt, and Jefferson adjusted his body in time to hit the ball.
Egypt's Diyus didn't expect to play as a starter today! Although I want to help the team as soon as possible, my body has begun to disobey me. The incoherence in his movements and the slowing down of his speed made his heart sweat at this time.
Wiggins had the ball across the halfcourt, and Butler got the ball and managed to attract two players to the defense and pass the ball to Kerr. The latter would have been a good opportunity to jump into the air, but Egyptian Diyus was a step late. Cole throws the basketball directly into the basket! 4:2!
Jim watched the game quietly. He didn't want to win tonight. But because of this, his attention has become more focused on the players. The Brooklyn players are now feeling that the Nets coaching staff is very different from what it used to be.
You can feel the serious, rigorous and professional attitude from them! And when the coach didn't come back, the training time and schedule in the middle became a lot more stable. Some of the drills that Coach Steve arranged made the players feel a certain amount of fatigue.
Some of the players have felt like they're getting back a little bit in the last few days. This "some" may be exaggerating a lot...... The players joked about it at first, but then it was changed to "feel this way".
With Jefferson's jumper missed, Wiggins got the rebound and immediately passed the ball to Teague. The latter went straight to the front court and hit a three-point shot! 7:2! Jim directly asked for a timeout. Egypt's Diyus was replaced by Arun without such a statistic.
Crabbe carried the ball to the frontcourt, and after a three-point run, Mozgov got the rebound and passed to Russell. The latter scored 2 points with a direct layup! 7:4!
Butler held the ball across the half court, passed the opponent smoothly under Jefferson's defense, and then quickly rushed to the basket and dunked to score points! 9:4!
The current Timberwolves can be regarded as a relatively obvious strong team in the playoffs! They have players like Downs, Butler, Teague! And the rest of the substitutes looked good.
Russell carried the ball up front and nearly lost the ball under Teague's defence before making a quick pass to Jefferson. Mozgov got the basketball and turned around and his jumper was directly blocked by Kerr!
Gibson gets the basketball and passes the ball to Butler. As soon as Wiggins got the basketball, he hit the ground and passed to Teague. Before the Nets came back, Teague scored an easy layup! 11:4!
Crabbe dribbles and jumps in front of Wiggins and shoots a three-point shot! 11:7! If the change of the team does not improve, it will basically have to start from scratch again. And at present, some media outlets are commenting on the Nets more or less mentioning that they may really start over.
Teague dribbled to the frontcourt, and he averaged 12.7 points, 2.6 rebounds and 7.3 assists per game with the Timberwolves this season! Because of the needs of the team, he began to prefer to play point guard. However, what makes the team more satisfied is that Teague can also stand up and score quickly when the team needs to score!
Because the current Timberwolves have too many players who can score! Because of this situation, the players basically don't score too much. Except for star players, it's not so easy to think about high scores.
Gibson took Butler's pass and dunked in front of Allen to score points! 13:7! Russell held the ball past half court, and Mozgov got the ball and immediately passed it to Allen. The latter directly deducted points from the storm!
Teague immediately passed the ball to Butler after arriving in the front court, and the latter got up directly after taking the basketball and dunked 2 points into the account! 15:9! Now the situation on the court, even some fans can see that the Timberwolves are not taking the Nets too seriously in the game.
They're okay in terms of offensive options. Defensively, though, it didn't come much hard. And when Brooklyn is attacking, the players still seem to be struggling. The gap between the two teams is already obvious. Chen also learned the basic situation of some of the players through Jim's assignment.
The camera is given to Downs, who is joking with his teammates~
