Chapter 666: Unexpected
"What kind of way do you say our boss will come back? It's been two days," Quincy and Russell chatted.
"I don't know about this, I think about it, maybe I'll invite us to a meal haha I think too much~ Let's invite him~~" Russell said with a smile after hitting a hollow long-range jumper. Although they lost to the Timberwolves by analogy...... But the players were in a good mood.
"Maybe it won't come for two days, and then the Clippers will show up right away and lead us to victory!" Quincy laughed to herself.
"Didn't sleep well at night? Dreaming here in broad daylight? Russell had just finished saying that he saw Quincy standing there dumbfounded, holding a basketball. At this time, Russell wanted to laugh, but he couldn't help but look in Quincy's direction. Then I saw a familiar back.
"I think I'm really dreaming...... "Quincy watched as if she was pinned down, still holding a basketball in her hand. Russell picked up the basketball and threw a few more shots, but looked back from time to time, as if he was worried that he would run.
"What I didn't expect was that your playing time was compressed again," Chen said as he stood there with his hands in his pockets and watched Jeremy Lin train for a while.
"Looks like I'm going to practice more physical fitness," Lin said, turning to look at Chen Yinan. I was already covered in sweat.
"Yes, and it will be used in the later competitions, it will be more sour," Chen said with a smile.
"What?" Lin didn't understand what Chen meant, but he just felt that this guy next to him was a little different from before. The players all gathered around.
"Why didn't you see Egyptian Dius?" Chen said after glancing at the players next to him.
"That's basically how the team's training is now. It's not like it used to be. I guess it would have been different if Atkinson had been there. Lin said at this time.
"yes, but now he's in our management. I'm here today to say something to you. Seeing that the assistant coaches haven't come, let's take a break after another hour of training today. Tomorrow won't be too much training. ”
"Our coaches are just different! Wow, training went! Quincy was as excited as the rest of the players and ran back to practice. I thought that it was different if the salary was opened to 4 million+!
......
By the end of the second day's training, the players felt something was wrong. Say that the amount of training is not too much? After a whole day of training, even Jeremy Lin, Crabbe, and Jonathan felt a little overdrawn.
The rest of the players in the gym weren't in as good shape...... They all grinned and persisted. Although the amount of training is similar to last season's, it feels like it has increased a little bit on top of that!
Chen turned down the invitation of the players yesterday, and it is estimated that no one will be in this mood under a certain intensity of training today. On this day, there were assistant coaches communicating in the training hall from time to time, and some assistant coaches were watching the players train. According to Crabbe's words, they were guinea pigs for a day~
Overnight, the players left for Los Angeles exhausted, and Egypt's Diyus had only completed a tenth of the year's training volume and was already out of strength. There were three players who only completed 70% and the rest persevered to the end!
Chan didn't pay any attention to the current state of Egypt's Diyous. The two did not communicate at all. The Nets players also found Chen managing their training as tightly as a younger version of Atkinson. And the big man who has gained a few laps is probably going to fire him.
"In this game, I ask you to win as much as possible. Maybe I'm still a little unfamiliar with the new players. There are also some returning teams from the former Nets, and I welcome you. Let me see how strong you are in tomorrow's game."
When he said this, Chen's eyes were a little complicated. However, most of the players did not pay much attention to this. I just feel that they should also win the Los Angeles Clippers under Chen's command like the Knicks!
The atmosphere in Los Angeles today is a little too hot! The camera was given to Chen Yinan many times. The Clippers are gradually not so relaxed. They understand Chen's strength!
Today's starting lineup on the Clippers side is Jordan Jr., Griffin, Johnson, Teodosic, and Lowe. At the Nets' end of the spectrum are Mozgov, Allen, Jonathan, Jeremy Lin and Crabbe.
"Remember to be careful when you go on the pitch to follow the players you want to defend, and don't interfere too much with Teodosic's movement and passing. Jonathan, Lin, and Crabbe are the main points of attack, and Mozgov and Allen just need to defend well......"
When the players came to the court, the cheers of the scene were not low, and after Jordan Jr. got the basketball, he immediately passed the ball to Teodosic! The Clippers are still quite satisfied with this "low-profile version of Paul".
After Paul's departure, the main organizational tasks of the team were handed over to Teodosic. However, this season's Clippers have no shortage of players who can shoot. This also more than made up for the lack of scoring on Teodosic.
After Griffin received Teodosic's pass, Allen still rushed to the basket to score points even though Allen obviously increased his defense! What Doug feels good about is that their team's bench depth has deepened a lot with the trade with the Rockets!
No longer worry about Griffin and Uncle Huang going down, the team's overall combat power will be reduced. On the contrary, sometimes after coming on as a substitute, the team can also play very well! Using the Rockets' veterans to make a good second team, and Gallinari, Griffin, and Jordan Jr. made the team more competitive in a row, which still made Doug more reassuring.
Lin held the ball across half court and jumped up to hit a 2-pointer under the cover of Jonathan! In today's game, after Chen re-stood on the sidelines, he found that the team's state was different. Johnson holds the ball and quickly shakes off Jonathan in the front court and shoots a jumper to score points! 4:2!
"How long can our team survive now?" Ettore said to the new boss at this point.
"If you're not optimistic, you won't be able to finish the first half," Chen didn't have much expression on his face, and he spoke directly to his assistant coach. The teaching assistants around looked at each other and didn't say anything for a while.
"Can we hold back the Clippers on the defensive end and find the right moment to win them?" Yuduka said as if he had thought of something at this time.
"I've thought of something similar to your approach. There must be this possibility, but it's basically no play. They're a bunch of people who have gone a little too far in their thinking, and they're about to give up on this season. If it keeps going like this, not many people will be able to stay."
Chen felt that there was no need to talk to the teaching assistants about this now. It doesn't make much sense. It's good that the Nets can lose to the Clippers without analogy. They are now very less efficient offensively and defensively.
Jonathan took Crabbe's pass, turned in front of Johnson and saw Griffin and threw it directly to score 2 points! Lu Wei didn't care about this, just received the ball from Teodosic and immediately jumped up and hit a three-point shot! 7:4!
The current Lowe can contribute 19.7 points, 2.3 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game! Some fans say that this season, Teodosic and Lowe are compared, and Lowe is obviously more like Paul. There are scores, there are assists, and personal experience can also play a role in the team.
However, looking at the playing time, you can see that the efficiency of Teodosic's organization is much higher than that of Luwe. Looking at the meaning of the coach, maybe Teodosic is still not too important. But there will still be hidden dangers in the team without him.
Crabbe took Mozgov's serve and went to the frontcourt, facing Lowe and returning a three-pointer! 7:7!
Teodosic held the ball over the half court, and after Jordan Jr. got the ball, he immediately rushed over excitedly to score points! 9:7! At this time, the Clippers also found that the Nets had changed a lot from previous games.
Jamilin took Mozgov's pass and slowly moved up to the front, passing directly in front of Lowe and attracting two defenders before passing the ball to Jonathan. Seeing that Johnson has not reacted regularly, Jonathan decisively jumped up and hit a three-point shot! 10:9!
The Nets players on the court right now are pretty good on the team. As for the rest of the players, it's hard to say. And the Clippers can hold up to two quarters. In the third quarter, the Nets were basically in danger of being accountable.
It's good to let them feel it. In the past few days, Chen's mental state is more complicated. The current Nets team is really hard to control. Atkinson is no longer in charge of coaching here.
Will the players be able to keep up the fighting spirit? If the state is lost by this time, even if Chen grows three heads and six arms, it will be useless. Fortunately, Jeremy Lin and Crabbe are still holding on.
Griffin took the basketball and was successfully covered by Allen under the bag of Allen and Mozgov. No matter what Griffin said to the referee, the other party just ignored it. When the referee was looking at Griffin, little Jordan immediately hugged Griffin and kept talking to him.
This season's NBA referees have significantly more penalties. There will be zero tolerance for such players who constantly argue with the referee. If it's too much, go straight out of the field! Many star players have tried the law......
After the basketball went out of bounds, it was the Clippers' ball. Little Jordan dunked the ball as soon as he got the basketball! Allen takes the basketball and passes it quickly to Crabbe. Shoot straight past half threes without defense! 13:9! Doug on the sidelines was not happy with the Clippers' performance.
Lu Wei passed half the court, and the direct three-point was interfered with by Jeremy Lin! Johnson got the rebound and passed to Griffin. Bypassing Jonathan Griffin, he directly used Johnson's cover to hit a three-pointer! 13:12!
Lin passed the ball directly to Jonathan next to Teodosic after half-time. The latter hit a direct jump shot with 2 points! 15:12!
26:24! The Nets actually led the opponent by 2 points in the first quarter!
Back in the second quarter, the Clippers' Reed, Gallinari, and Beverley appeared on the court! Apparently Beverley is here to control the Nets' offense!
At the moment, there is still no strong player in the center of the team. Then in the next quarter, Chan will put his hopes on Russell, Dinwiddie and Goodwin.
If the first half doesn't collapse, it can hold on until the third quarter. Chen said that the Nets basically explained this game, but it was still attractive to delay it if it could be delayed. If you really play in the last minutes of the final quarter, then you can't really tell who will win the game!
Lin spotted the Clippers' changes as soon as he got to the frontcourt with the ball. The overall feeling is that the pace has become faster! Beverley followed up quickly, Lin made a feint to shake Beverley who thought he was going to pass the ball away a little, and immediately jumped up in the air, only to find that the strong guy in front of him still touched the basketball!
At this time, Jemilin was shocked by the strong athletic talent of the person next to him! Mozgov immediately got the basketball and passed it to Jonathan. The latter jumped straight up and hit a three-point shot! 29:24! The Nets bench immediately became lively.
After Chen returned to the team, the Nets players also became active. Beverley quickly held the ball across the halfcourt, and Teodosic took his pass and went straight to the basket to score points! 29:26!
Mozgov serves to Crabbe. The latter accidentally dropped the ball in front of Beverley! It's understandable how many people in the league can outrun Beverley's defense right now.
Johnson jumped up and hit a three-point shot after receiving Beverley's pass! 29:29!
Lin took Crabbe's pass and quickly went to the frontcourt, and after the three-point deficit, Allen got the rebound and passed to Jonathan. The latter started directly and passed the opponent and went straight to the basket to score points! It's really fun to go in without Jordan Jr.'s defense! 31:29!
Gallinari took a pass from Teodosic and hit a three-pointer right away from Jonathan! 32:31! Now the Nets are so excited on the bench because they can play to this level with the current Clippers, which has not been seen in Brooklyn for a long time!
Chen is also a black line on the head of these excited guys behind him. I didn't look at the score on the field, and I thought that the difference between the two teams had now widened to more than 15 points......
"This doesn't seem to be the same as we thought before," Jim said with some excitement.
"If the Clippers can make more mistakes, we really can't say anything," Chen said after thinking about it. No one wants their team to lose, and seeing the extent of playing to the point where Chen wants to be wrong, he is wrong in the first quarter.
Lin quickly went to the frontcourt, and under the bag of Johnson and Beverley, he used his feet to quickly retreat and jump up to hit a 2-point shot! 33:32! It can be seen that Jeremy Lin attaches more importance to today's game! He knew that some balls might not be able to score if they were passed, so he simply got on them himself!
At this time, the fans began to shout defense when the Nets were attacking. Doug also began to worry at this time! Teodosic held the ball to the frontcourt, rushed to the basket quickly under Crabbe's defense, and then planned to go to the basket to catch Allen's big hot pot and fan the ball away!
After picking up the basketball and wrestling with Beverley for a while, Jamie Lin passed the ball directly to Jonathan, who had just arrived. After seeing that his teammates and Clippers players were some distance from him, Jonathan immediately rushed over!
