Chapter 715: Different Moods
Winning two games in a row made Chen still feel less bad than the previous one. The Nets also moved up to No. 9 in the standings. The next opponent they face is the Clippers. The Clippers, who are currently on the brink of the moment, will not let Brooklyn go easily!
Coming to their team's home court, the players on this side of the Nets have an indescribable feeling. It's as if they're a little excited. Hasn't the excitement of the last game gone away.
"The opponent is still very good at the moment, so I ask you to pay attention to the coordination of the opposing team, and their outside shooting is not very consistent. But when it's powerful, the damage is not small......"
Chen looked at his players as if they had now gotten their tickets to the playoffs. Winning the Rockets still feels like a dream for the Nets. So after you are sure to win them, you feel a little light.
"The other party's ability is still in the run-in stage, so I ask you not to relax. Be vigilant like a rocket. Their Williamson and Jonathan's scoring and possession are all good right now! The other party is also very organized and organized......"
The players are now quietly listening to their coaches assigning tasks. Recently, the Clippers have rumored in the media that Uncle Huang may have plans to go to another team. I don't know if this news is true or not.
Maybe he would have been more convincing with Paul back then, but now the team only has two people on the inside, Griffin and Jordan Jr., who are good defensively. At the beginning of the season, the team was still very hot.
But everyone has seen the results of the next one. The Clippers aren't as strong as they seem. The main thing is that some players in the team are not very consistent. And now there are more things on the team that require the interior.
This has led to some players not being optimistic about the future of the current team. Today's starters on the Clippers' side are Jordan Jr., Griffin, Gallinari, Lowe and Rivers. At the end of the Nets are Mozgov, Egypt's Deyous, Williamson, Jeremy Lin and Goodwin.
Mozgov went to the front court after getting the basketball, and Lin immediately used Williamson's body as a cover to go directly into the net after receiving his pass! The atmosphere of the scene was immediately mobilized!
Fans still have great expectations for the Nets! Rivers quickly got to the frontcourt, and Gallinari hit a 2-pointer right after taking the basketball! The Clippers can now see that they are guarding Brooklyn in the first quarter! The current Nets team has become even more confusing this season!
Their style of play was originally changeable under Chen's coaching. Now there are a few more X-factors in the team, not only the opposing team is a little overwhelmed, but even the Nets are not sure how far they can play!
If you have such a mentality, you might as well let them have a bigger goal! And this is a big ambition if it is controlled. If you don't control it well, you may become a little impetuous, or arrogant.
The Nets have been having this problem in previous games. The team also focused on this during the meeting.
Goodwin got the ball up front and Lin took his pass and immediately hit the ground and passed it to Williamson! When he was on the layup, Griffin cut off Williamson's ball directly and hit a three-point shot in the frontcourt! 5:3!
The whole process went by quickly! Williamson also felt that he might have been too hasty with the ball just now. Lin slowly went to the frontcourt, and Egyptian Diyus took the basketball and hit Griffin with his back and missed! Jordan Jr. gets the basketball and passes it to Griffin!
Gallinari took his pass on the right side and went straight to the front court with a three-pointer through the net! 8:3! For the Clippers, their only goal now is to make the playoffs at the end of the regular season!
The regular season has been looking for a feeling and a run-in, and the players are now a fully healthy Los Angeles Clippers team after returning from injury! That's a lot of confidence for the team!
All they have to do is go in first, even if it's a good game with the Rockets or the Warriors! The possibility of being eliminated is not small. But they're still willing to give it a try!
There is a clear difference between the mentality of such a team and the Rockets, who have already secured the playoffs. If Houston doesn't play well, it's a big deal to lose to Brooklyn.
And the Clippers can't afford to lose now, maybe just a few games before they miss out on this year's playoffs! Chen stood on the sidelines and watched the game quietly, feeling that the opposing team did not have much mental relaxation during the warm-up today.
He also feels that tonight's game may not be easy. Sure enough, now the Nets are starting to fall behind. Goodwin makes a quick pass to Williamson. In the face of Gallinari's defense, Williamson immediately changed direction and was still disturbed by Griffin in the air after passing the opponent!
Looking at Griffin Williamson, I think he's a tough guy! The player doesn't look very tall, but he has a lot of agility on his feet. Good awareness, strong strength and can pass the ball!
After the basketball bounced out of the basket, Mozgov took the basketball and planned to dunk it, but was directly fanned by Uncle Huang! Basketball is out of bounds! Egyptian Diyus passes the ball to Lin. Under the bag of Rivers and Loewe, Lin Ma retreated and got up again to speed past Rivers, and then made a stop-and-go jump shot and hit a 2-point shot! 8:5!
At present, Jeremy Lin is the only one in the team who scores! Everyone couldn't help but shudder when they thought about it. The opponent has definitely stepped up their efforts defensively! You can feel it from their state at this time!
After halftime, Lu Wei quickly shook off the opponent's defense under Goodwin's defense and hit a 2-point shot! 10:5! Chen was already thinking about how to solve the current problem at this time. If the game is for Jeremy Lin to score all the time, it is not a solution.
At this time, Williamson went to the frontcourt, and he cleverly dodged two defenders and jumped up at the end of the three-point line, but there were no three points! Mozgov took the rebound and passed to Goodwin, who didn't have a three-pointer!
Griffin grabbed the rebound and made a long pass to Rivers. Rivers, who was in the front court, didn't hesitate too much and immediately scored three points into the net! 13:5!
Lin slowly dribbled the ball to the front court, and after Rivers ran over, Jamie Lin immediately got up to speed past the opponent and quickly broke through to ask Griffin for a foul and made 2 of 2 free throws at the free throw line! 13:7!
Chen asked for a timeout at this point. After the opening game, the Clippers effectively defended the players on the Brooklyn side.
"After all, this is the first quarter of the game. You don't have to hit it so tightly. The other party is in good shape right now. What about the outward play, don't do this now. This place has this place on the other side, grab the basketball and go into it right away......"
Chen switched the Nets after the timeout, with the exception of Mozgov. Brooklyn's lineup became Mozgov, Allen, Iverson, Russell, Crabbe. Williamson doesn't seem to be in much shape today.
He's not always that good, either. If that's the case, it's more terrifying. The current Clippers may not be as good as they think they will be.
This only aroused the belligerent desire of the other party! And the other player who needs to break through and dunk is Jefferson. Shooting more from the outside is what Jonathan is good at.
Jeremy Lin was on the court, and the other players seemed to be a little too dependent today. This is not a good thing in the long run. Jamilin's ball-handling defense on the court has also undergone some changes.
When the team is good, he chooses to organize the team, thread the needle, let the team's strength integrate, and make the opponent not know how to deal with it for a while. But when the team's efficiency has declined more sharply, or just a little down, Lin will stand up and quickly break through!
Lowe passed the ball to Uncle Huang after half-time, and Griffin took his pass and passed it to Gallinari. The latter immediately entered the net with three points of hollowness! Teodosic watched the game quietly at this time. The camera was pointed at him twice without noticing.
Teodosic, who has already made a name for himself in Europe, came to the NBA and everything seemed to start from scratch. Faced with all kinds of voices every day, and there are some fans who like Paul's rejection!
He probably doesn't have the scoring ability of Paul. But he has his own unique understanding of passing. Facing a new environment and a somewhat older age. This season he also played a good blue-collar point guard stats out!
And if the team is willing to give him more playing time, I believe he can still brush the data more beautifully. Ross and Garnett were talking about something. Both of them were quite polite.
16:7! Crabbe held the ball to the frontcourt, Lowe came to defend, Jefferson took the basketball and suddenly got up at Gallinari's head and jumped high to dunk with a strong dunk!! Griffin didn't react at the time, and slowed down, and finally had to watch his performance.
The heat of the scene immediately began to pick up again! Jefferson's ability is still valued by Nets management! He's in a crazy mode at the moment with the ball!
At every turn, take advantage of the other party's lack of attention to dunk directly to score points! His physicality, bounce and control of the rhythm plus his confidence in himself! The player, who had been silent for a while, is now showing his unique abilities!
Williamson watched Jefferson's performance from the sidelines. Applaud and shake the towel ~ I feel like I'm lucky to have such a teammate ~ And I feel a little powerless in today's state.
Rivers got the ball to the frontcourt, got past the opponent right away from Crabbe and scored a layup! 18:9! Without Egypt's Deyous defense, the Nets' interior line is still relatively weak.
At the same time, the Nets players on the court can clearly feel that the other party seems to be more determined than the Rockets!
Russell went over and Jefferson served to him. After arriving at the frontcourt, one of Lu Wei's was directly cut off by the other party without paying attention! Rivers hit a three-point shot as soon as he got to the frontcourt!
......
31:19! In the first quarter, the Nets had a very difficult time. The score difference is also a little wider.
"Not only is the other side on the outside, but now there is a certain degree of accuracy. And as long as they work together, Griffin and Jordan Jr. will be able to complete the aerial operation immediately. So what I ask is to be vigilant in this section and try to cut off the connection between them as much as possible in the cooperation of the other party......"
Today's Chen didn't emphasize how to attack. Because it was also seen from the game that the Nets' offensive efficiency tonight was not very high. In this case, you can only find it defensively.
In the second quarter, the Clippers were replaced by Teodosic, and the Nets came to the court with Garnett and Rose.
Crabbe carried the ball to the frontcourt, and Rose took his pass and immediately hit the opponent's inside line to quickly break through! 31:21!
Compared to the first quarter, Rose's individual offensive ability is still very sharp! Teodosic carried the ball to the frontcourt and immediately hit a three-point jumper when he pretended to pass the ball to Jordan Jr.! 34:21!
After a season of running-in and his own understanding of this team, Teodosic is now gradually increasing his scoring statistics! Jefferson crossed the half, and after stepping on the line for a 2-point jumper, the basketball bounced straight out of the basket, and Garnett immediately grabbed the rebound and passed to Crabbe.
Rose asked on the other side to take the basketball and go to the front court to jump directly into the net with a three-point hollow! 34:24!
Rose gives him a feeling in the arena that even if I'm 20 points behind now, I'll give the other side a taste of what it's like to fail! It really doesn't feel like it's the same to play with him! These players of the Nets have all experienced it~
At this time, the Clippers also understood a little. The current Nets team has the intention of overtaking. Griffin passed the ball to Jordan Jr. after half-time, and Garnett's defense didn't stop Uncle Huang from scoring! 36:24!
Jefferson quickly got Crabbe's ball, and when facing Gallinari's defense, he directly changed direction and passed the opponent and scored a jumper to score points! 36:26!
After Griffin took the basket, Garnett immediately blocked his shot and passed to Rose. Teodosic immediately chased after him! Rose's three-pointer is not after Jefferson has taken a rebound in the past and scored a quick dunk! 36:28!
Jefferson is very physical! He's a good runner on the field! And it's not slow! Ordinary players are still not very comfortable with his sudden start and sudden and fast return to defense.
After receiving Teodosic's ball, Lu Wei immediately scored three points into the net! 39:28! The Clippers' style of play made the Nets feel a little tight......
If it continues like this, when will the Nets be able to tie it? After Garnett's jumper was missed, Jordan Jr. immediately got the basketball and quickly passed the ball to Griffin. The latter goes to the front court and hits the board directly into the basket! 42:28! Chen didn't hesitate at this time, and immediately asked for another timeout!
The Nets are in danger right now! "You guys were a little bit anxious in one round, that's my take on the fight. Don't rush too much to score, keep the rhythm down and play with the opponent. ”
Since it was a bit hasty to call this pause, Chen thought there for a few seconds. If you don't call a timeout, Brooklyn feels like you're going to be hit by the other party!
"Quincy, you go up in a moment, our defense here in the center has not been very good. So if you go, as soon as you get the basketball, you will come out and score immediately! Garnett plays the center position. Rhythm control, Crabbe should not be too eager to pass. The other party is in good shape right now, and their speed is very fast, if we play like this, we may spend ...... immediately."
After returning from the game, nothing changed on the Clippers' side. Quincy served to Crabbe, and after getting to the frontcourt, the Clippers were also guessing how Brooklyn was going to play, and the Rose took the basketball and jumped quickly to Jefferson for a three-point shot! 42:31!
Lowe dribbled to the frontcourt, Teodosic took his ball and immediately passed it to Griffin, whose layup was directly blocked by Garnett! Kevin immediately got the basketball and passed to Jefferson, and Crabbe took his pass and jumped up in the frontcourt!
