Chapter 699: The situation is different
"If it goes on like this, I'll feel pretty good," Chen said to Jim, who had just arrived.
"Popovich is going to hide his strength, and he can let the Spurs quickly disrupt our rhythm with the current lineup." Although he said it calmly, Chen suddenly understood his previous confusion.
The Spurs made team-wide adjustments after returning from a timeout, giving their team a change in tempo. And the organization and offensive ability of the demon knife and Parker are good! It looks like he is obviously not young, but his performance on the field has not regressed!
Mozgov quickly turned around and scored 2 points! 19:17! I don't know if this concern is unnecessary. At the moment, the scores of the two teams are relatively close. This state of affairs made the Nets feel a little fortunate that they were not beaten by the Spurs in the first quarter.
Anderson carried the ball to the front court and hit a three-point jumper without any passing or waiting for any signs from his teammates! 20:19! It was his first score of the game!
Popovich is still relatively satisfied, Anderson, a kid-like guy, will he become the second Leonard if he breaks through quickly? The old man wondered if he would be like kawaii, sometimes scoring like crazy, and ignoring the team's cooperation.
The quick individual attack also succeeded, and this situation was very cool for both the coach and the fans to watch. But there is a hidden danger here, although the teamwork sometimes makes people feel a little slow and a little procrastinate in the style of play, but if this aspect reaches a certain level, the average team will have no way to take them! Including some super teams as well!
Allen got the rebound after Russell's three-pointer missed, and Williamson jumped up and shot after receiving the pass! Gasol immediately grabbed the rebound and passed to Anderson! The latter quickly passed the ball across the half-court to Parker, and Parker made an easy layup when unguarded! 22:19!
32:27! The Nets and Spurs played well to this extent. In the first quarter of the battle between Kawaii and Williamson, the two did not distinguish any winners and losers!
"I'm quite happy with the score in the first quarter. You don't have an analogy to fall behind~ But what I want to say is that in the second quarter of the game, the opponent also has the full ability to let you go to garbage time quickly, and it is not impossible to hit garbage time. ”
Chen looked at the tactical board to make sure that there was no problem with the marks he had just made, and then raised his head.
"So keep your spirits up and pay extra attention to the rhythm of the opponent and the cooperation of the players! There are some tactical changes to be made below......"
Basically, the players don't have any room to relax. I listened to the coach's arrangement until the beginning of the second quarter of the game. Aaron is now available for the break, with Crabbe and Egyptian Dius in action.
"Come and hear it, too! And you! Popovich said as he looked at the players on the bench. The expression was quite serious, and everyone laughed after Leonard was named immediately~
"You know when you're playing, this is the Spurs. It's not Golden State, Houston, those teams that only shoot randomly. Although sometimes it's accurate. You know what I'm talking about, the next game is going to see how Duncan plays their ball."
"Coach...... What are our tactics? Kawaii suddenly had a question mark at this time, and looked at the old man and said.
"What tactics are you going to use against you?! Do you need it? That tactic and how he looks at them, it should be similar to the one on the field, well, you guys go up~" Popovich walked away satisfied. Leave kawaii there in a daze......
"Did I miss something~ I ......," Leonard said to his teammates.
"Lun Lun, you've heard enough, let's go~" Duncan said with a grin, patting Kawaii on the back. The joke he had just made with Ginobili is still in my mind. A joke that couldn't hide the demon knife just now, covering his mouth there, Leonard was in stark contrast to Leonard, who had no expression beside him~
Chen's heart sank when he saw the Spurs' lineup in the second quarter. Duncan, Gasol, Leonard, Ginobili, Parker! After the troika came up, there were also league star players Gasol and Kawaii!
After Lin took Williamson's ball, the two of them said something. Immediately after half-time, Jemilin feigned a quick attack and immediately hit the ground and passed to Williamson! The latter got the basketball and immediately rushed in to take it and was directly cut off by Leonard!
Parker took the basketball and immediately passed the ball to Ginobili from behind! Before Crabbe could run over, Duncan took the basketball and threw it high to Kawaii! After the Nets' rhythm was out of order, Leonard immediately accelerated to the front court and violently slammed the dunk to score points! 34:27!
This is the same spur from before! But they now have stronger teammates and kawaii who are already up! Although they were not young in the past few years, in the face of the Cavaliers and the Warriors, the Spurs still calmly won them!
Crabbe quickly passed half court, and after Egyptian Diyus took the basketball, he turned and jumped up, and suddenly saw that Mozgov had no players around him to defend him, so he passed quickly. Unexpectedly, Mozgov didn't notice this, and when he looked at the basket, an object flew quickly within a few centimeters of him!
He reacted when the basketball was out of bounds! Leonard served to Ginobili, who dribbled the ball directly past Egyptian Dius to the frontcourt, faced Lin and Crabbe's bag and passed the ball to Leonard in the air, who immediately scored three points into the net! 37:27!
After receiving Egypt's Deyous serve, Lin made a feint from Parker and immediately got up to speed past his opponent and made a sharp stop to pass the ball to Mozgov. The latter jumped directly and hit a 2-point shot! 37:29!
The Nets players are clearly feeling uncomfortable right now! The rhythm of the other party has changed a lot all at once! And judging from the quality of the players present, they are also more efficient in coordination!
Chen wanted to call a timeout a few times. But looking at your team doesn't mean you can't score points. Also, if the movement is too big in advance, there is no way to compete with the other party.
One of the Spurs is to cooperate well, and the other is now to seize the opportunity to break through immediately and let the opponent quickly rout! Thinking of this, he was also a little relieved, not in a hurry. If the Nets really can't parry them today, then there is something to be seen in this section.
There's nothing to be ashamed of losing to San Antonio. After thinking about it, Chen began to watch the game quietly again.
At this time, Jamie Lin felt that the other party was difficult. If Borg is leading the team now, Brooklyn will basically relax, and it will be a loss. The game against the Spurs became a warm-up game.
But now they're very different! The changes during this period have been too drastic, and the players have changed a lot more than the intensity of their training, which is their mentality. And many Nets players tonight are also determined to compete with them!
Not really, and Williamson. Leonard held the ball past half court, and Duncan took the basketball and passed the ball to Ginobili in the corner. The latter hit a direct three-point shot! 40:29!
Crabbe holds the ball through the half. The current Spurs are already clear in their intentions! It's about crushing the Nets in this quarter! If the Brooklyn side continues to maintain a low offensive efficiency, they will soon not have to play as hard as they can.
Now in the game, the opponent immediately widened the difference from 5 points to 11 points! The other party is not too strong to say that the physical confrontation is not too strong, and Leonard is not bad. But the cooperation on the field is very different!
These veterans have a lot of experience. They know when and how to fight! And you're not as good as them! They use cooperation, foot movement, and even a sudden "Hollywood actor" possession, they can immediately cheat with a high probability of getting foul and rely on free throws to score!
What the current Nets players actually need to do is not rush. But that's easier said than done. What do you think when you look at the players around you all of a sudden, as if they are floating and playing with you?
Williamson jumped up for three points immediately after getting the basketball! Egypt's Diyus picked up a rebound not far from Gasol and made a quick pass to Lin. Williamson received the basketball again and dunked directly to score points! 40:31!
At this time, the small forward of the Nets has an idea, the opponent is good in experience and tacit understanding, but they lack physical confrontation! Although they won't take the initiative to fight against the Nets when they attack. But this one can go to them!
Thinking of this, he immediately talked to Crab and Lin.
"Well, you might as well give this one a try. There's no too strict requirement in terms of playing style, now, let's try it like this! Lin, Crabbe, and Williamson immediately gathered together, said a few words, and dispersed. Now even Chen, who was standing on the sidelines, didn't know what they were going to do.
After Gasol's jumper was missed, Lin immediately got the rebound and passed the ball to Williamson! Parker and Ginobili immediately chased after them! After Crabbe got the basketball, he faced Ginobili and quickly passed and threw 2 points directly into the account! 40:33!
One is the age of the two people, as well as the confrontation between the two sides, in order to avoid injury, Ginobili immediately restrained his strength. Parker went to the front court after getting the serve of the demon knife, and Leonard hit Williamson hard after receiving the ball, and then made a jumper!
Popovich felt something was wrong at this point. Not only did the Nets' offense start to be savage, but their defense also increased a lot. This made the Nets' coaching staff very excited! Without calling a timeout, they found a way to deal with the Spurs on their own!
Duncan immediately turned around and threw a 2-point hollow into the net as soon as he got the basketball! 42:33!
Crabbe quickly got to the frontcourt, and Williamson took over the basketball and made a big move to take Ginobili out a little before retracting and hitting a step-back jumper! 42:36!
Part of this game is for Williamson! Since playing a few good games with the Nets, his fans have gradually increased!
Leonard quickly dribbled to the front court and immediately returned a three-pointer with Gasol's body cover! 45:39! If the game is played like this, at least it will not be spent in the first half.
62:51! The final third quarter ended with the Spurs leading the Nets by 11 points. Although the score was relatively close under the fierce attack of the Nets, the rapid burst of Leonard and Parker widened the score difference.
As long as there is no handicap close to 20 points. The final score of the third quarter was 89:81! Jonathan and Jefferson had a good third quarter! Jonathan's main contribution to scoring is good!
And Jefferson's defense made Chen feel that he should continue to play as a guard in the fourth quarter! Egypt's Diyus and Mozgov are also back on the field. In the third quarter of the game, on the one hand, the Nets did a decent job defensively. Score as much as you can in such a situation!
"In the final quarter of the game, it is estimated that Duncan, Ginobili, and Parker will not play much. In this case, the Spurs are still not so good at the moment. When attacking, use a more aggressive way to score. Jefferson and Williamson also do a good job of defense, and as long as they find an opportunity, they will break through quickly......"
Today, Aldridge is still recovering from an injury, so he can only watch the game from the sidelines. If he returns, basically the Nets won't be able to beat the Spurs! And now there's an opportunity in front of Brooklyn! For Chen, this is the second chance to win against the Spurs this season! Last time it was on the Knicks.
Mills held the ball across half court and immediately passed the ball to Kawaii, who came to pick it up, defended by Jefferson and Russell! If Frey gets the basketball, he immediately jumps up and goes into the net with a 2-point hollow! 91:81!
Russell quickly held the ball to the frontcourt, and Jefferson got the ball and immediately went over to Jofrey and turned around and shot a 2-pointer through the net! 91:83! Although now Williamson is about to sit at the No. 3 position on the Nets.
However, Jonathan can still replace him after he is gone! And Jefferson can play both small forward and guard positions!
Leonard took the basketball in the front court and jumped after not making a jumper, and directly grabbed a rebound and scored points! 93:83! Russell took advantage of Williamson's body and hit a three-point shot right away!
Mills got the ball to the frontcourt, and Ginobili got the basketball and immediately returned a three-pointer! 96:86!
Williamson took the basketball and saw Leonard running over immediately. Mills wanted to cut off his ball, but Williamson spotted it early and immediately passed it to Egypt's Dius, who hit the ball straight away! 96:88!
After Leonard's three-pointer missed, Russell picked up a rebound. Jefferson got the ball and made a quick pass to Williamson, who had just come over. The latter immediately came out and jumped up and hit a three-point shot! 96:91!
At present, the Nets are still chasing closely! Popovich watched the game quietly from the sidelines. He's wondering how far this team can end up playing with them! Obviously, in the second half of this section, there should still be a certain amount of suspense.
Remembering the last time they played against Chen, who was still the coach of the New York Knicks at the time, Leonard and Aldridge were unable to play due to injury, and that game was won in the end. Just thinking about it, if Frey's 2-point shot missed.
Williamson immediately got the rebound and dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, and immediately fell back to shoot a 2-point jumper to the basket after feints under the defense of Leonard and Ginobili! 96:93! The Spurs directly asked for a timeout!
