Chapter 736: Elected
Today's game has attracted a lot of attention from fans! Because either of these two teams will make history by winning the Eastern Conference championship in the end! In recent years, the Eastern championship has been dominated by Cleveland!
The teams in the East don't know when they want to get past this hurdle. But at such a time, the Brooklyn Nets surprised many people inadvertently! Even they themselves were a little surprised. Naturally, in the playoffs, if the opponent's state is not good, you have to attack quickly!
And the knights are precisely the less stable side. The Nets took advantage of the win to chase Cleveland off the season early. That night, the security guards at the arena escorted the nets to the bus before leaving......
The Cavaliers could hardly imagine this fact after the game. And the same goes for the fans at the scene. Some are ready to go home, while others are a little excited. When the security guards saw this, they immediately protected the Nets.
The press conference is just a simple formality. I didn't say much and left. For that night it was not just the sky that was dark. And the Nets were already happy at that time~~
64:63! At the end of the first half, the difference between the two sides still did not widen! There is no intention of giving in. And this kind of performance is quite a headache for the Green Shirts and the Nets. Neither team really wants to see that happen.
It would be nice if I could suppress the other party to fight. The players' expressions relaxed at half-time. After going back, Chen didn't say anything, and several players fell asleep directly. You can imagine the intensity of today's game!
The fans in the audience can really feel this! The players really played with each other! Whether it is accuracy, coordination or direct hand-to-hand combat on the defensive end and offensive end, it is very intense and exciting! The penalty of some ball referees has also come down!
It should be even more brutal later on. The referee basically didn't give much of a penalty, and the final choice was taught to both teams!
"The overall state of the other party should not be much weaker. Because their Owen is basically not going to play. So the team connected by him still has good strength. Horford is also relatively good on the inside, so I'm asking Egyptian Diwe and Allen to do a good job in that regard. It's mainly about defense, because we want to get as far ahead as possible until the fourth quarter......"
Within a few minutes of sleep, the players were woken up. After stabilizing for a while, Chen began to set up tasks.
"Owen should try to reduce the physical exertion as much as possible. I mean you're going to have to attack less. You'll be playing in the end, so protect your stamina in advance. The other players will pass the ball to Owen at the right time. If the opponent's defense is too intense, pass the ball again immediately and shoot again at the end of 24 seconds. Unless there's a good choice......"
The players on this side of the Green Shirts are very excited! Because they found out that the Nets team today is not so strong either! Horford didn't play, and in the second quarter, the opponent didn't overtake them. Some players rested, and some players were so excited that they couldn't sleep.
But they still didn't have much time to rest. Stevens was outside discussing something with his coaches. After a while, he started coming back and talking to the players.
The fans cheered enthusiastically when they saw both sides returning! It's hard to say who will win the game between the two teams now!
After a while, the Celtics came up, and their lineup was Horford, Gerchon, Shemy, Terry, Irving! On the Nets' side are Egyptian Deyous, Allen, Jonathan, Jeremy Lin and Goodwin!
Lin went to the front court after getting the basketball, and this section Chen meant to make him the main attacker! The same goes for Jonathan and Aaron. The other two players are mainly defensive. By the end of the session, Lin's main task was to organize.
After Allen got the basketball, he immediately jumped and was driven over, and Horford, who was driven over, directly fanned the ball with a big hot pot! Goodwin quickly ran over and picked up the basketball, then turned around and hit a jumper for a 2-point shot! 66:63!
Now the players on the Nets bench are up and watching the game! Everyone's mood is quite excited! How far can you play at home tonight in Boston? With the advantage of appearance, almost all the fans at the scene were cheering for their team!
Even the referees on the pitch seemed to favor them in the first half! After Terry got the basketball, he used Gerchon's body to hit a direct three-point shot! 66:66! The two sides are tied again!
The more this happens, the more excited the fans become! The players on the field were more nervous. What is the result in the end?
Goodwin dribbled past half-court and Terry cut off the ball in his hand and immediately passed it to Owen. Before he had time to react, Owen jumped directly into the net with three points! 69:66!
"Warriors, we might meet again. But this time I'm with the Celtics," Irving thought to himself after hitting this three-pointer. The Cavaliers now have Thomas Jr., but it seems that they still need to run in on the cooperation.
And the Green Shirts' fight in the playoffs over the years has given them a strong desire for the next games! Jonathan took Goodwin's pass and passed the opponent in front of Shemi, but was directly rushed out by Gaelchon to cover it, and quickly got the basketball and passed the ball to Horford. Irving took the basketball to the frontcourt, and Terry quickly received the basketball and hit a three-point shot! 72:66!
At this time, the sound of the scene became louder! Fans feel as if today's game is coming to an end! And the Eastern Conference championship belongs to them!
Chen was also nervous at this time. Lin slowly went to the frontcourt, and Aaron was directly cut off by Xie Mi after taking the basketball! Terry scored a jumper after receiving the ball from Shemi after passing half court quickly! 74:66!
The difference suddenly stretched to 8 points. Chen also called a timeout.
"There are not many opportunities, the team is now starting to play mainly on offense, Quincy is on the court, Crabbe ......" As long as the opponent is beaten to a point difference of more than 10 points in this quarter, the Nets seem to be going to lose the game.
Then they will not be able to meet the Warriors in the final Finals. This is the end of the season.
There were no substitutions for the Celtics. Nets Quincy and Crabbe are on the court.
Jonathan took the basketball and passed it to Quincy. He hasn't played a lot this season. However, it does ensure that he has a certain amount of playing time. But Jonathan's personal data came down.
He could feel that Chen Yinan had not given up on him. And in some cases, he was also asked to be the main breaking point. This made him feel uncomfortable several times.
Jefferson has come from behind, and now he has been gradually noticed by the media! And Williamson is basically in the main position of the Nets! Whether you will be on this team next season, it's hard to say. Even if Chen found out back then, he wanted to keep him, but the management basically didn't consider this.
Later in the quarter, Chen still let Jonathan play!
Egypt's Diyus saw Quincy's pass and immediately jumped up and scored points in the air! 74:68!
Terry got to the front court quickly, and Irving jumped up and hit a three-pointer after receiving his pass in the bottom corner! 77:68!
99:91! At this time, the Greenshirts are already a little excited! 8 points difference! The Nets didn't expect such a score or a point difference......
"Williamson should be one of the main attacking points of the team! So guard him off no matter what! Guaranteed to score, and a little bit to be careful about the coordination......" Stevens is inversely proportional to the players' expressions right now.
I can also see that his composure has come. He wasn't very happy about the team's result. Instead, he continued to quietly lay out the task.
"If the outside score doesn't work, give the ball to Mozgov, Williamson and Rose. Rose, depending on whether to choose a breakthrough or a jumper, you can judge for yourself. I mean it's not good to have too much physical contact with each other! Because they don't have much to fight in our team in this regard, Williamson should be 'taken care of' as well. So one is to make the other party unable to find our point of attack, and the other is not to have too much physical contact with the other party......"
The offensive side still taught Rose about them. Jeremy Lin mainly organizes the team. The team needs a good playmaker right now!
After coming on the court, the opposing lineup is Horford, Morris, Jason, Terry, Irving! Stevens intends to take him off the court at the end of the quarter if the team can maintain the score difference.
Irving got Horford's serve and slowly moved to the frontcourt. Jason misses a jumper after getting the basketball quickly! Williamson got the rebound quickly and dribbled to the frontcourt. He saw the Boston players around him eyeing him.
The sudden start caused the other party to be alert! Rose hit a three-pointer right after getting a pass from Williamson on the other side! 99:94! The Nets exploded immediately after seeing it on the bench! Chen was taken aback......
Owen began to concentrate further. Horford gets his pass and scores with a two-handed dunk! Lin took the pass to the front court, and Williamson got the basketball, and the opponent immediately looked back to see if there was any answer around him. At this time, Williamson has already come!
Before he could react, Morris received a foul! Williamson then managed to make it 2+1! 102:97! Stevens' expression grew colder and colder!
With Irving's three-point miss, Mozgov got the rebound and was directly cut off by Jason! Morris got the basketball on the outside at this time and immediately went into the net with a three-point hollow! 105:97!
Unexpectedly, the rose in the front court returned a three-point! 105:100! Now several countries are watching this game! Lin's expression was focused.
Terry got Owen's pass and was cut off by Jemilin! The whole Nets are rushing to the frontcourt! After Jason arrived, Lin rushed over directly and asked him for a foul and then played 2+1! 105:103! Stevens saw that it was not good, and immediately signaled for a timeout.
Irving, who has been fighting with the Nets until now, is a little tired. He could still play, but Stevens felt he should take a break.
"Keep your distance from Williamson, take a pack when you need to, and start ......pressing all over the court now," Stevens said quietly to his players.
"Look here, this point can almost go to the other party. When they're here, they're not very accurate, and they're spending more time thinking about breakouts. Defenders can use Mozgov and Williamson to attack ......"
At this time, Chen felt that it was better to emphasize offense.
Coming back from the game, Marcus took the basketball and crossed the half, and immediately passed the ball to Terry under Rin's defense. The latter immediately jumped up and went into the net with three points of hollowness! 108:103! The fans at the scene immediately cheered!
Williamson took the basketball and went to the frontcourt, and Egyptian Diyus got his pass and immediately dunked and scored! 108:105!
With Marcus' three-pointer missing, Lin rushed out after getting the rebound! Rose took his pass and hit a long-range three-pointer! 108:108! The score is tied!
Owen had his head down at this point, not knowing what he was thinking. He didn't want to watch the movements of the fans at the scene. Sweat slid down his face and body. After wiping a handful of sweat, he looked up at the score and continued to bow his head and remain silent.
At this time, I don't know how Hayward and Garnett, who are in suits, feel. Both men were silent. Hayward's expression was a little complicated, he just sat there and watched the game. Sometimes your team will cheer for your team when it plays well.
Jason got the basketball and immediately passed the ball to Horford! Egypt's Diyus went to defend and Horford immediately shot after a back-to-back single! Williamson on the other side took the basketball and turned around to get past Morris and quickly ran to the frontcourt!
Lin takes the basketball and scores a layup! 110:108!
......
"I don't feel like I have any regrets. Thinking that his opponent eliminated Cleveland some time ago, I feel that such a result is nothing. Stevens said quietly to reporters. Although there was a sense of loss in it, Stevens still didn't show it too much.
"So what are the expectations for next season?" The reporter asked tentatively. After asking, I felt like I shouldn't have asked this question......
"I don't know...... I really don't know. And the upcoming holidays~ Our players have performed very well this season! The hope has also increased a lot. Next season...... The direction doesn't change, and so does the goal. Well, that's all there is to it."
Stevens smiled politely and walked over to his players. Owen looked at the scorer a little blankly. Some of the players in the team are already crying. Some fans also couldn't control their emotions and cried.
"The Celtics are a very tenacious team. If they hadn't been injured by Hayward, I really don't know if it would have worked," Chen thought back to the situation on the Celtics side that he had just seen on the big screen, and the fans at the scene themselves were a little uncomfortable.
But that's how the game is, there are losses and there are wins. Some of the players at the scene happily danced with their teammates to celebrate. Lin stood in place for a long time and did not move. So many years! This is the first time in his career that he has won the Eastern Conference Championship!
"Do you have any plans for your final opponent?" The reporter continued to ask Chen. Dragged him back again.
"This is a secret. See you on the field then," Chen said quietly after hearing the reporter's question.
