Chapter 579: I Definitely Can't Meet Them
89:84! The Nets have chased the difference to 5 points! After the third quarter of the game, the alarm sounded on the spot!
"Zhang Hao should not be full of singles when attacking, or when the opponent is defending, he must pay attention to passing the ball! The point is to play cooperatively, don't use too much physical strength with the opponent, be sure to pass the ball more, and play patiently......"
Downs' 28.4 points, 11.7 rebounds and 3.1 assists last season were still very good. In the third quarter of the game, Towns basically dragged his blue-collar teammates and the Nets to resist. There were three chances that Brooklyn could have tied the score!
The Timberwolves are the right bet! Their players such as Butler and Crawford are back on the field. The lineup for the final quarter was Downs, Gorgis, Butler, Brooks, Crawford. On this side of the Nets are Mozgov, Zhang Hao, Griffin, Jeremy Lin and Russell.
Chen is still quite satisfied with the current level, at least the team followed the Timberwolves until the fourth quarter.
At the beginning of the game, after Russell got Zhang Hao's pass, Lin jumped up and missed three points after receiving the ball! Zhang Hao immediately jumped to the basketball, and after getting his hand, he collided with Gorji, and when the opponent didn't have time to react, he decisively passed the ball to Griffin, and the ball hit Crawford's shoulder directly!
Butler got the basketball and ran to the front court quickly! Black Beans also got up at this time and did the same as he thought, Butler passed the ball directly to him, and the Timberwolves scored three points directly! 92:84!
After the main players all returned, the Timberwolves immediately regained some vitality! The team has sped up both in terms of speed and reflexes!
Griffin took the basketball in the frontcourt, Mozgov jumped up directly in the air to get the basketball and staggered with Downs to dunk directly to score points! 92:86!
Gorgi held the ball and singled Zhang Hao without success, Towns got the basketball and immediately passed the ball to Crawford, who directly passed the ball to Butler next to him when he attracted the attention of two players of the Nets, and Butler immediately hit a three-pointer in an unguarded state! 95:86!
Some of the Timberwolves players at home tonight felt the shock. I feel like the management's recent actions have really picked up a treasure! Butler's defense and offense were excellent today!
Russell went to the front court and returned a three-pointer under Brooks' defense! 95:89! Brooks just received the basketball and was directly cut off by Jeremy Lin! After Griffin got the basketball, he quickly passed it to Zhang Hao, who had not yet passed half the court, and the latter immediately jumped up and hit a three-point shot!
The Timberwolves directly asked for a timeout, and at this time the difference between the two sides had narrowed to 3 points! The purpose of putting Zhang Hao in this quarter of the game is to allow him to increase some of the Nets' scoring weight when he is three-point and unguarded!
If Mike comes up, he may not be able to put in a good performance in terms of fitness or scoring. Towns and Butler basically won't let him dunk. And he's been playing for a long time today. Unlike Butler, will he probably be in good shape for the next games?
Butler can chase James all over the court in a state that is close to playing 48 minutes!! He can also deal with the opponent's high-intensity running and maintain his defensive efficiency when he is on the track and field team! It's a bit of a stretch to say that a player like this doesn't become a star player.
The Nets still have the majority of the main players in terms of playing time under normal circumstances, followed by Egyptian Diyus and Goodwin in the 18-26 minutes. Quincy's words are currently averaging 16.2 minutes.
And the rest of the players are basically playing on their strengths.
"Now I will start to press all over the court on the basis of the original! Don't miss a single chance of their attack! What should be paid attention to here is not to have loopholes or mistakes in the coordination, and try to press to the lowest ...... "Chen feels that if he starts to follow up now and performs well, Brooklyn may have a chance to counterattack tonight!"
Crawford carried the ball to the frontcourt, and after he successfully got rid of Russell's defense, he jumped straight into the basket with a three-pointer! Lin took the ball from Mozgov and began to run quickly to the frontcourt, and Griffin took Lin's pass and deducted the point violently!! 95:94!
Brooks took the basketball and thought about it on the move, but found Butler and passed the ball. After the latter got the basketball, he faced the oncoming Griffin and jumped back directly and scored 2 points into the net! 97:94! At this time, the shouts of the scene began to rise!
This goal made many fans feel that Butler's ability will have a big impact on the team in the future games! Russell didn't have three points in the frontcourt! Zhang Hao took the basketball and immediately went to the basket, but was hatted off by Downs directly in the air!
Crawford got the basketball and passed the ball directly to Black Beans just after halftime! After the latter didn't have three points, Gorgi who followed up behind immediately got the basketball and dunked and scored! 99:94!
The Timberwolves still maintained their lead in this situation, Griffin took Jamilin's pass and thought about how to attack, Mozgov immediately ran out of Griffin, and the big man's block still scored 2 points when he jumped up at the same time as Towns! 99:96!
At this time, the game has entered a more tense rhythm. The opposing team controlled its rhythm in time to avoid the opponent's possible overtake.
In this case, the competition is who makes fewer mistakes and who can continue to score points, then the victory may be in their favor. Brooks hit a key three-pointer right after he got to the frontcourt! 102:96!
The Nets directly asked for a timeout. After returning, Quincy and Teague replaced Zhang Hao and Russell. The current Brooklyn will not be able to catch up if it doesn't score any more points.
"With Griffin and Jeremy Lin at the core, the two of them are going to organize the game! On the defensive end, we don't think about it now, we just keep breaking points and trying to tear a way out! Try to find a way to play with a big chance in the game......"
After returning to the court, Griffin took Teague's pass and immediately jumped up and hit a 2-point shot! 102:98! Downs got Crawford's pass and dunked 2 points directly!
Quincy took Lin's pass and immediately passed it to Griffin inside, who immediately passed the ball back, and in the state of no one to defend for the time being, Quincy jumped directly into the net with three points! 104:101!
After the opponent's Butler missed a three-point shot, Mozgov immediately got up and passed the ball to Lin as if he had stepped on a spring, and Teague successfully took the basketball and hit the board into the net after successfully taking the basket after arriving in the front court! 104:104! The score is tied!
......
115:113! In the end, he lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves. The atmosphere was very warm, and they started shouting when they saw the scorer stop! The scene immediately turned into a sea of joy!
"The Timberwolves have shown a good fighting spirit, which everyone on the floor should be able to see. In the end we didn't take our chances, and that's it. But it's just a game. ”
Chen was somewhat tired at the press conference after the game. If the substitutes were on for a certain period of time, they might not be so tiring. However, after seeing the performance of the players, he did not give up the game.
"It's finally over, that's all for today's game." Chen stood on the sidelines and said to himself at the time, and the two shook hands after seeing the other party's coach coming. Philip praised Chen's coaching style from the bottom of his heart.
"So do you think such a team will make the playoffs this season?" The reporter's question dragged Chen back again.
"This should be their team's business, right? If you play well, you can naturally enter. But I feel like they're fine. Is that okay? Chen saw that the reporter nodded, and immediately other reporters were ready to ask questions.
"So can the Nets make the playoffs this season?" Immediately after the question, many reporters at the scene laughed.
"It's a question that will come out in the playoffs, and I'm looking forward to it as much as you do."
......
The restaurant is now done by the agent, and of course the salary is still relatively high. Chen called the phone and made a brief inquiry, and he had already invested $180,000 in it within a week of opening.
The restaurant is still in a precarious state for Chen Yinan. I don't know if I can make any money. If the first three months didn't work well, it would have to be closed immediately.
A month's salary plus some other expenses costs $230,000. This is still the number after the broker has been squeezing costs. At the beginning, when they went to 350,000, the two of them communicated many times because of this, and it was not until the last agent said that if it was less than 230,000, they would not continue to do it, and then they stopped communicating about this matter.
Chen, who only has a few million on hand, still has to be careful with this.
Because he didn't think too much about it, the fatigue of his body and mind was hitting Chen's brain. After turning off my phone at night, I went straight to sleep. When I woke up, it was already dawn.
"If I'm like that, maybe I won't have much money left at the end of this season, can I have 1 million?" At the moment, the restaurant's revenue is still negative. This is mainly due to the fact that a lot of vouchers were used in the later hours of the opening day.
Celebrities didn't use vouchers for their participation and consumption, but that's in the minority. A lot of ingredients were used in the Chinese restaurant that day and the next few days! Because of the set grade, Chen Jin has a lot of more expensive ingredients and some drinks.
After thinking about his place of residence for a morning, Chen simply sorted out his surroundings and got dressed and came to the restaurant. After entering, it immediately attracted the attention of many diners. Some of them were directly recognized. Say hello to Chen right away.
The number of people in the restaurant with a small area still makes Chen feel a little bottom, which is not quite the same as he imagined.
"Have you had a lot of guests lately?" Chen He's agent in the restaurant said.
"It feels like there's a play! But what I want to say is that if you win the Timberwolves that night, business here will probably be better! ”
"I still felt pretty good that night. But in the end, I didn't even have a chance to kill, which feels like a pity."
"I'll see what kind of restaurant I open in the future, and join you here haha~"
"What? Do you have a meaning in this regard? I said~" Chen said with a smile after looking at the agent in a relaxed jacket and jeans at this time. Neither of them is wearing formal clothes today.
In some contacts with my agent this season, I also feel that I am choosing the right person more and more. He is still quite serious about his own work in basketball, and sometimes he will constantly put pressure on Chen and guide him to do the right thing and things that are in line with their work.
Later, Chen also felt that it was indeed his own thing that was not quite right.
The relationship between the two is not bad. The other party is still more experienced in dealing with some things, and will do it very seriously. I really don't know if he's done this now, but he takes good care of the restaurant.
"Business is good, Chen! As your influence grows, your restaurant is also profitable. ”
"Not bad?"
"Our publicity and exposure are still very high. Didn't you add this? Your players have all tweeted pictures of themselves and your restaurant. At the table, there were Wade and James, Kobe, and some other players who also came to eat during this time. That's right, you can meet NBA stars here, and you can ask them for autographs~"
What I didn't expect was to see a different scene when I came to my restaurant. It's lively here. After the guests left, the waiter went over to clean up, and then the next wave of customers immediately took their seats, saying that they had already booked online.
"By the way, every location in our restaurant that is relatively close to us is now scheduled until next Friday! It's very hot right now. Maybe there will be a time to cool down. However, we can still make a lot of money with the constant arrival of diners! ”
"You know what, I'm much better when I hear this~" Chen immediately said with a smile while holding his chest.
"You think this is ...... How could there be such an idea? Even if there are no celebrities that day, there are still NBA stars coming, and Jeremy Lin and Griffin, as well as your players, can bring you a lot of popularity! ”
Feeling complicated and a little excited, Chen began to walk along the road on his own. The recent account is not what it was the other day. At that time, I watched it and the agent told me that I didn't tell him about the situation at that time.
There are not many people who have taken it over that Chen understands. Judging from the current flow of customers in the restaurant, it may be possible to directly fill the negative state of opening at that time in about a month and a half.
Then it's time to start earning money! Thinking of this, I am still a little excited in my heart~ Thinking of this, Chen can finally continue to start this season's journey with confidence!
The next opponent is the Philadelphia 76ers, which is another difficult team to play. They currently sit in eighth place in the East. There is still room for improvement in the team's fit-in-progress, and their results have slipped one place in the last half month. But it's still strong on the offensive end!
