Chapter 689: Return to the Arena!
At the end of the first half, the players on the Nets side felt a little overwhelmed. Although everyone didn't say it, I feel that such a Timberwolves team is too strong! These players in Brooklyn did fight hard with each other, but at the end of the second quarter, they also felt unhappy with the result.
Chen felt a similar way at this time, and he also felt the state of the coaching staff, the bench and the players walking back from the field. But he didn't show such emotions coming out. Instead, he quietly watched the performance on the field in a daze......
The teaching assistants were discussing with Chen throughout the break. When they entered a small room, Chen and the other two assistant coaches began to take coffee and snacks in the drawer, and the atmosphere of the coaching staff eased a little.
Since these coaches came to the Nets this season, Chen has felt their intentions. And the more this is the case, the more anxious they are now!
"Jim, let's talk about your thoughts, don't hold it back~" After Chen finished speaking, there were coaches around him who laughed~ Everyone's atmosphere is also a lot better.
"Anyway, the previous plan is going to change in the third quarter, I think so," Jim immediately became serious again after speaking, and Steve and Scott also nodded slightly.
"That's right! We finally got to a tacit understanding for a while~" Chen said with a smile. Everyone's attention gradually focused on this.
"Every quarter of tonight's game was important and I felt especially important in the third quarter, the first half was over anyway. Fortunately, the score difference was not stretched to 20 points~" After Chen finished speaking, he took a sip of coffee and waited for everyone's response.
"Then Chen, what do you think we should do now?" Yuduka spoke immediately. This came as a surprise to Chen.
"The Timberwolves have two ways of playing that should be more effective for us, one is to take us down in one go! The other is to let some other players spend it with us in this quarter, and keep the score difference until the fourth quarter basically starts and the game is over. The former is riskier, but it may have immediate results, while the latter is better. What do you think? How to deal with it? You, tell me about it."
Chen pointed to Messina and said. Although it was more sudden. But the assistant coach began to speak his mind one after another from Messina. Chen finally just made what he knew, and after chatting with a few assistant coaches, it was time to go out and play the third quarter.
During this time, the TAs felt a lot more relaxed. Especially they felt that Chen Yinan didn't seem to be too nervous.
64:53! The Nets trailed by 11 points at the end of the first half! In this section, it will be enough to close the difference. If the score difference remains the same and the score difference increases, the final quarter of the game will basically be played by some players who don't play often.
After the game started again, the players on the Timberwolves side were Patton, Bjelica, Butler, Brooks, and Teague! Butler and Teague remain on the field! It seems that the other party is going to play with the Nets in a more stable way.
At the Brooklyn end are Allen, Quincy, Williamson, Crabbe, and Jeremy Lin! Williamson still has to play on the field. Today's race also made him very excited. I feel like I'm the main force of the team~ My heart immediately becomes beautiful~
Lin slowly held the ball to the frontcourt, and Quincy took the blue ball and made a jumper after brushing the basketball twice and then came out...... Barton took the basketball and immediately passed the ball to Brooks. Teague asked for black beans and did not give! Immediately, after the basketball popped out of the frame, Williamson got the rebound and quickly passed the half, and hit a direct three-point shot! 64:56!
The reason why Chen stayed in Butler is that his offensive and defensive ability values are very good! With his physical fitness, he's basically a reliable player anymore.
Teague immediately went over and asked for a slow half-time, at which point he was playing the role of playmaker. Brooks' words are still a relatively unique player. Then he is in the role of a point guard in the team.
Butler took the basketball without the slightest sign of slowing down, almost colliding with Williamson and throwing the ball in! Both Nets players and the referee theorized but didn't get a response from that end. Butler got 2+1 right away! 67:56!
After the footage of Williamson nodding his head there was shown on the big screen, the fans at the scene were a little unable to sit still! I feel like I'm going to see a good show! Sure enough, after Williamson received Jeremy Lin's pass, he quickly went to the front court, and after feigning an attack in front of Butler, he suddenly made a sharp stop and stepped back to shoot a jumper to score points! 67:58! The action feels neat!
"That's all you can do, aren't you?" Butler looked at Williamson a little defiantly.
"I scored," Williamson said briefly.
"Why don't you dare come in? Are you afraid of me, boy?! Butler said to Williamson in a contemptuous tone.
"I'm not afraid of you, but I've seen you fight before and know you're a good player. But I just scored in the fight with you! I'm in the NBA now! ”
Butler gave the big man a disapproving look and ran over.
Williamson didn't want to trash talk with him or taunt each other or anything at this point. He just said what he thought. Teague carried the ball to the front court and used Butler's cover to hit a three-pointer right away after passing Crabbe! 70:58!
Crabbe held the ball across the halfcourt, and after Lin took the basketball, he shook Williamson with a feint and immediately threw a three-point jumper into the basket! 70:61!
Williamson's reaction was a bit bigger this round...... Bjelica took the basketball and immediately got his jumper covered by Allen. After Lin took the basketball, he quickly went to the front court and immediately hit a long-range three-pointer! 70:64! The scene immediately boiled! Now Jemilin is very serious!
He was enraged by the other party's state! If the Nets don't make too many breakthroughs, that's basically the end of the game.
"Don't get too entangled with Butler, focus more on playing!" Lin spoke to Williamson when he returned.
"Yes, Captain! Anyway, you have two hits~" Looking at Lin Williamson, who had just hit two three-pointers in a row, he said with a smile.
"I have a lot of methods! Come on, tank! Lin's brain reacted quickly, and he immediately gave Williamson a nickname~
After Brooks' three-pointer was missing, Barton immediately took the basketball and was directly covered by Quincy when he was about to dunk! Lin ran over and jumped down the basketball and passed to Crabbe, who drew two defenders to Williamson!
Williamson went over at a speed that the fans were a little surprised to take, and immediately after taking the basketball, he immediately took the axe-like deduction to score points! 70:66! Chen Yinan immediately asked for a timeout at this time, which stunned the opponent's coach......
"Hmph~I'm also one step ahead of you~" Chen thought in his heart, but there was no expression on his face. There was some subtle shaking of the body.
"Egyptian Dius! How's the warm-up?! After Chen finished speaking, he felt that he was a little too harsh, but when he saw this big man, he immediately dispelled his worries.
"It's ready!" Egyptian Dius shook his body a little comically as if he was about to get into the boxing ring, and now among the people around him, he and Chen Yinan had a little serious on their faces, and the assistant coach and the players on the bench were all grinning.
Originally, he shouldn't have laughed at this time, but how Egyptian Dius looks funny today~
"There's nothing I can do offensively and the rest of the game is still like that, and it's different on the inside. Aaron and Egyptian Diyus give me a desperate defense!! You may be the key to winning today's game! Not only is the opponent's attack on the outside not weak, but it also has a lot of lethality on their inside! So pay more attention to both of them......"
The arrival of Egypt's Diyus caused a certain emotional ups and downs among the fans at the scene. The report about him last week is still in the hearts of some fans! When the Nets need a tough defender on the inside, Deyous of Egypt has always played one of the few ruthless roles for the Nets!
There are even times when you can't control it well and fight with the opponent in the arena! Beat to the end! And such Egyptian Diyus is not visible this season, what is seen is the bench "faithful guardian" who has gained a few laps.
Egypt's Diwe had a feeling that wasn't very real when he came back after basically not playing much this season, and his muscles were obviously thickened!
This period of training has literally filled his entire life! Basically, except for training, I sleep, and I basically don't dream! Wake up and feel like nothing is going on!
Coach Steve specially found two trainers for Egyptian Deyous to assist in training and some detailed guidance! There has been some improvement on the offensive end, but according to the trainers, it is basically close to 0 now......
Although there is not much progress, Egyptian Diyus has already started to train his shooting in his spare time! Brooks jumped up and hit a three-point shot as soon as he got to the frontcourt! 73:66!
After returning from a timeout, the Timberwolves replaced Barton with Towns! Egypt's Diwe was quickly cut off by Butler after getting the basketball! Before he could react, Brooks had already received Butler's pass and went to the front court to score an easy layup! 75:66!
Egypt's Diyus' return for this game was something the Timberwolves didn't expect, and neither did the Nets coaching staff here. At halftime, the consensus was that it was better not to let him up.
But after watching him train more than many players on the Nets during this time, Chen still feels that he still trusts him. Lin took the basketball and made a gesture with his right hand until the end of the half, and Crabbe took the basketball and immediately hit the ground and passed to Egyptian Diyus.
Williamson immediately received the basketball and raged the basket like a beast! Egyptian Diyus also felt the power of such a new player up close! 75:68!
Originally, Jeremy Lin wanted to feed Egypt's Diyus the ball, but the opponent was obviously not ready to attack. And as soon as Williamson touched the basketball, under the basket, it was like stepping on a spring, and he immediately bounced up and dunked violently!
And in his physical condition, it felt like it was all natural.
After Downs took the basketball and played against Aaron, after successfully shaking off Aaron, Egyptian Diyus suddenly went out and fanned the basketball solidly! Obviously, this time the prediction of Egyptian Dius was accurate!
As soon as Williamson got the basketball, he turned around and passed to Crabbe in front of Butler. The latter immediately jumped up and hit a three-point shot! 75:71!
The big hot pot just now was so refreshing to watch! It's been a long time since the Nets have performed like this! Under the basket, it is basically the opponent who is pressing the Nets aggressively or defending!
After this, Allen took a few glances at Egyptian Dius, the player is not as good offensively as him, but he is really good in defense and rebounding awareness!
The Timberwolves are already feeling the pressure! Brooks was cut off by Crabbe after half time! Williamson hit a three-pointer as soon as he got the basketball! 75:74!
Butler took the basketball and went to the frontcourt, Teague immediately got the ball and attracted the Nets three-man defense and passed to the black bean who had run to the bottom corner, and the latter immediately returned a three-pointer! 78:74!
In this section, you can see that Brooklyn is really fighting with the Timberwolves here! Lin passed the ball to Egyptian Diyus after arriving in the front court, and Egyptian Dius, who was almost cut off by Butler after taking the basketball, immediately got up and prepared to dunk and let Downs receive a foul in the air!
After the two men fell to the ground, Egyptian Dius twisted his arms and stood up again. 2 free throws 0 hit. The Timberwolves are also more relieved. Bjelica took the basketball and passed the ball to Butler, whose layup was directly interfered with by Egyptian Dius!
He immediately jumped up again, got the basketball, and passed the ball to Lin. Crabbe took the ball and hit a three-pointer right away! 78:77!
The scene is boiling at this time! Butler dribbled the ball across the half, and Downs dunked and scored immediately after getting his pass! 80:77! After Williamson's three-pointer in the frontcourt, Bjelica took the rebound and immediately passed the ball to Brooks!
Black Beans quickly went to the frontcourt by themselves, and after three points, Lin immediately went over to get the rebound and slowly dribbled to the frontcourt. He also means that the team should not be led out of rhythm by the other party!
After Crabbe took the basketball, he changed direction and passed Teague, and immediately made a pull-up jump shot with 2 points! 80:79!
Brooks got to the front court and took Teague's pass and immediately hit a hollow three-pointer! 83:79!
"I feel like this, I can let Egypt Diyus play for a while, I'm letting him go down in the fourth quarter, and he still has to go up in the last quarter," Chen and the assistant coaches had been discussing for a while.
Two or three assistant coaches meant that Egyptian Diyus would not play in the final quarter. But Chen insisted that he play for a few more minutes. Aaron's words can also have some breaks.
94:90! This was the end of the third quarter. The Timberwolves are a little laughing right now! The Nets' forward players did well today! Williamson, even if he doesn't score, can pose enough danger to them defensively.
And the Egyptian Diwe who came up in the third quarter made their offensive efficiency in this quarter down!
"Quincy, you don't have to defend too much, pull it out and give me a break when the opportunity comes! Don't be too defensive at the beginning of the quarter, give me crazy offense, except for Egyptian Diyou......"
