Chapter 807: How Powerful?!
For such a team, Chen also seems to have little to do with them at present. It's too strong, and in the East, it seems that the Celtics are running out of opponents at the moment! Last season, we faced the Green Shirts in the playoffs without Hayward and Ray Allen.
After Hayward was out due to injury and Ray Allen didn't return to the court at that time, they could still play Brooklyn until Game 7! During that time, the Nets' playoff win over the Cavaliers was no small piece of news.
But at the time, it is estimated that not many people remember that the players on the Boston side made it all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals when Hayward was out due to injury! Not only has their Hayward returned from injury this season, but Ray Allen is also in the team!
At present, the Nets are in good shape, and Williamson scored three points directly for this attempt! 19:15!
Monroe received Irving's pass in the front court and scored a layup directly! 21:15!
Lin carried the ball to the frontcourt, and Burke took his pass and missed a three-point jumper! Monroe got the rebound, Ray Allen took his pass and went to the frontcourt, and Horford immediately jumped to the net after getting the ball and hit a long-range 2-point hollow net! 23:15!
It's a lot faster at both ends! And at this time, the team's shooting percentage is also a competitive data. Burke took Garnett's serve, and Mozgov got his ball and scored with a quick dunk! Without waiting for the Nets to react, Irving had already jumped to the front court and hit a three-point shot! 26:17!
One is that the tempo has become faster, and the other is that the defense of both sides is not too strong now. It was only when the players made contact that the defence began to strengthen. The Greenshirts are less confrontational on this end.
"We were a bit sloppy in the attack, which was not good for the later stages of the game. So from now on, the tempo must be reduced, and of course the efficiency aspect must still be maintained as much as possible......"
Stevens saw the players come back and talk to them as if it wasn't the Nets who were behind. There was a lot of sweat on every player!
40:34! The other party is really fighting with Brooklyn! In the late game, the Nets made two three-pointers, and the Celtics made a three-pointer every once in a while throughout the first quarter of the game!
"There is no change in the style of play, it is better to play on the outside and shoot less......" Due to the fast pace of the game, Chen and the assistant coaches did not communicate much in the first quarter, and it was over.
In the second quarter of the game, although Chen thought about concentrating the lineup in his mind, there was still something he didn't expect. Monroe, Morris, Jason, Brown, Irving! Young Brown has been on a hot streak lately!
Monroe's personal abilities are also getting stronger. Hayward was replaced with a gun that Chen didn't expect. Isn't it like the other party is in front of him to open up the score difference as soon as possible? The lineup on the Nets' side is Garnett, Allen, Williamson, Russell and Crabbe!
Williamson immediately felt relieved when he saw the opponent's Hayward go down! The race is about to begin! Irving carried the ball to the frontcourt and quickly passed to Morris without Russell noticing, who hit a straight jumper for a 2-pointer! 42:34!
Russell dribbled the ball across half court, and Crabbe took his pass and immediately got up to speed and scored a layup directly past Brown! Jason picked up the basketball and immediately passed the ball to Brown, who hit a three-pointer before Crabbe could get in time! 45:36!
Are the Green Shirts so strong now? Chen stood quietly on the sidelines watching the game. Now I feel like I can't recognize this team! At present, if it continues like this, the Nets will have to think about letting the bench come on in the next game.
Morris got the basketball and passed the ball to Monroe, who allowed Allen to receive a foul and successfully played 2+1! 48:36! Chen quickly asked for a timeout at this time.
"Nick! Burke! Ready, we're going to play fast break. Fight with them to attack, everyone is relaxed...... "The players can feel that the team may have to give up early.
Nick had been waiting to play, but he didn't expect it to be this time. This surprised him a little, but he immediately took off his coat and began to move briefly. Due to the rush, he was not given much time to warm up.
"Pay more attention on the inside line, the other side is more strict now, Burke has to organize the team next, you and Williamson will organize the team. Nick! Your task is relatively simple, which is to attack quickly, and as for how to attack, you choose ......"
Burke, who is not yet able to organize the team, to lead the team and let a player like Knick play freely offensively...... That's right, maybe it's garbage time.
The Green Shirts then saw the Nets move as well. Burke quietly went to the frontcourt, and Knick immediately jumped to the ball on the other side and hit a three-pointer out of bounds...... Nick shook his head slightly. Not very happy with this shot.
Monroe quickly served to Irving, Jalen took Irving's ball and passed Nick and Allen and then quickly went to the basket and made a layup that was directly covered by Williamson! Such an offense is too bad for Williamson!
Then Jason, Williamson and Brown rushed to the ball, and Nick quickly got Williamson's ball and went to the frontcourt, this time jumping on the other side to jump into the net with a three-point hollow! 48:39!
The Nets bench and the fans at the scene began to cheer for such a newcomer! "Very good! Very good! Nick said to himself! If you can't figure out today's game, you can play more time!
Irving came to the front court and jumped for a three-pointer from the Knicks. Allen picked up a quick rebound and passed the ball to Okafor. Williamson took his pass and drove straight to the opponent's basket to score points! No one dares to stop you! 48:41!
Sometimes it's like that, when you think it's not going to happen, it starts to take a turn! Morris makes a quick three-point shot! 51:41! Burke faced Brown in the frontcourt and missed the three-point jumper!
Williamson got the rebound and passed the ball directly to Nick, and Nick, who was in the bottom corner, jumped directly into the three-point shot again! 51:44!
"This treatment is a bit ......" 6 points! Nick had already scored 6 points shortly after the second quarter of the game! He saw the cheers of the fans at the scene, as well as the bench that had already stood up to cheer him on, and saw Chen there with some excitement after watching the game, he felt that all this was so unreal.
Fans, it's the Nets that are finally starting to break out! And it's a face that is rarely seen, and the bench is there because the players of his team are doing well. On Chen's side, he wants to give players like Nick more concerns.
When the atmosphere at the scene began to be warm, Chen applauded from time to time. Jalen quickly went to the front court and scored points on a jumper after passing Burke's defense! 53:44!
He had learned Williamson's abilities. I was really careless when I hit just now, and I didn't look back at all and thought I was fast enough. Unexpectedly, the opponent directly hit the ball with a big hat.
Stevens wanted to continue to use the first-quarter lineup to play Brooklyn, but he thought it would be better to switch it out just to be on the safe side. In this way, they will have a certain advantage in the later games!
Nick continues to get basketball, and he is more confident at this time! Facing Jalen's defense, he passed the ball directly past the opponent and passed to Okafor, who immediately dunked and scored! 53:46!
It's Nick time! The rest of the team was also fresh to see Nick on the court. For this player, his teammates still have more confidence in him.
Monroe served to Brown, who quickly passed half-court, Morris took his take, jumped up and was directly covered by Williamson! Allen picked up the basketball from behind and passed the ball to Nick, Burke took his pass and passed the ball again to Williamson, who had just followed, and Williamson went into the net with a three-point hollow shot when no one was guarded! 53:49!
Stevens asked for a timeout when he saw this. The atmosphere at the scene began to be enthusiastic. is exactly the opposite of what Chen Yinan thought. The current team not only did not open up the score difference, but was about to overtake the Celtics!
"Strengthen the defense on the outside, have more ways to attack, the opponent is playing well now, we don't have a good rhythm to follow the opponent. To play your own form......"
After the momentum of the Nets gradually rose, the Celtics were still a little anxious, but the more anxious they were, the more they couldn't play, they wanted to overpower each other to play, but they didn't see much effect.
After coming back, Irving went to the frontcourt, and Brown got the ball and immediately hit the ground and passed to Monroe, who turned around and scored a 2-point jumper next to Okafor! 55:49!
Burke slowly went to the frontcourt, and under Irving's defense, he immediately passed the ball to Knick, who went straight back to shoot a three-point jumper and hit the basket! 55:52!
69:66! Such a result did not shake Stevens's mind either. He just made minor changes. Put Baynes on the court.
"The opportunity came out quickly and suddenly, and we didn't have much time. This section will require a lot, and I want to surpass the opponent by more than 10 points in terms of score! The other party can now adjust and fight with us at any time, so we have to fight seriously for a while......"
After scoring such a score, Chen still felt quite surprised, the opponent's strength was still strong, this is easy to see, and their offensive efficiency dropped a lot in the second quarter, so they didn't score many points. It wasn't as fierce as the first quarter.
At present, Chen still thinks that Brooklyn may not be able to win the game, and if the Nets can lead the opponent by more than 10 points at the end of this quarter, there is basically hope. The opponent's main force is in too strong a state after playing!
The Nets are now going to fight with their main lineup, and they may not be able to play well.
Back in this quarter, Brooklyn's Dante, Jefferson, and Jeremy Lin are on the court! Nick remained on the court. Originally, today's match was just to let him slip to the side at the end and finish.
But after seeing that the Celtics have been performing well and the score gap is getting wider and wider, Chen changed his mind. Let's get Nick on the court today. Next up is Doyle, and he'll see for the rest of the game.
Lin held the ball to the frontcourt, and he was able to play with Jeremy Lin! Nick thought with some excitement in his heart. Jefferson got his pass and went over with a dunk to score! 69:68!
Owen wondered what the hell was going on. He dribbled the ball to the front court with some skepticism, and Brown got his pass and met Nick for a three-pointer! 72:68!
"Pay more attention to the rhythm on the court and pay more attention to me, get ready when the opportunity comes," Lin said next to Nick, and then went to the front court to face Irving! When he already felt that Lin was going to attack alone, the basketball passed, and without thinking too much, he immediately stepped back and jumped back for a three-pointer! 72:71!
"You thought you were going into garbage time, did you? I'm talking about the previous verse," Jim leaned over to Chen.
"Yes, if you are so suppressed by the other party and fight but you can't find a way to break through, then you might as well enter garbage time training. Today, our side is not in a good state, and sometimes the fight is more delayed, so I think it is just like this. But...... You see, this state is not completely out of play~"
After Chen said to Jim, both of them laughed. Such a situation was not expected. Nick's play has made the team less passive.
Irving scored 2 points on a layup after passing Jamilin! 74:71! Jefferson didn't have a three-point jumper in the front court, and after Dante got the rebound quickly, as his shot was blocked by Monroe, Baines got the ball and passed to Jalen, who rushed straight to the front court and jumped quickly to hit a three-point shot!
Lin passed half court and used his body to get up and step on the line at Jefferson for 2 points into the net! 77:73!
"In this game, the opponent of my championship is quite well prepared, you see they played so well in the first quarter, why change to the current lineup? Hayward continued to be off the field, and Ray Allen didn't show up. So I feel like if I can't play the third quarter to lead the opponent, there is not much hope."
Chen watched the game and said to Jim that the fans at the scene were very enthusiastic, and the bench was also serious.
"yes, some of their players haven't come up yet. This is the way to play in order to break some illusions that we may have in the back and win us."
"Well, that's what it means, and if they play well in this quarter, he can replace the players in advance, or one by one, I didn't expect the current Green Shirts to be so strong."
After Chen finished speaking, there was a worried look on his face, and Jim didn't respond when he saw it, and the two of them fell silent again and began to watch the game.
Brown made it 2+1 after getting a foul on Dent after changing direction with Nick! 80:73! When the main players are at the end of the break, the opponent has already played well on the bench!
Monroe seems to have started to get better when he came to this team. His individual offensive ability is starting to get stronger! That's a good thing for the team! There is also Jalen, a player, his current ability to play in other teams is no problem!
Jefferson held the ball across half court and Dent got his pass and got straight to Baines for a foul. Stand at the free throw line and make 1 of 2 free throws! 80:74! Not long after Jason took over the basketball, he was directly cut off by Jemilin, and Nick's speed also increased after getting his ball!
