Chapter 762: Great Reversal!
In the NBA, teams say that they develop players, but in fact, they don't spend too much time and energy. The situation will also be more complicated. Including the team about trading players when there is no you.
If you feel like you're a good fit for this team, but there are other teams with better players and cheaper players than you, what choices will the team make? So similar to what Chen thought, when a player plays in the NCAA, it is actually quite important.
There will be a certain amount of chance in that event. And some players also had some fantasies at that time, thinking that they could break into the NBA with their physical talents or other good advantages. Players who think like this are either particularly good or naïve.
There are only a few players in the NBA who are eligible to play every year. What Chen hopes to see is that the new players can quickly take on the responsibilities of his position in the team, and some mistakes made in the early days and in peacetime can be forgiven.
But the whole regular season is also a test of them. If some players are inconsistent on the field, or have made a lot of mistakes, it is basically only a matter of time before he leaves this team.
'Okafor is not bad and I feel like he can stay on the field. The other players are the same as you just said...... "The assistant coaches mean that if you want the Nets and Clippers to fight in the end, you still have to change the main lineup in the third quarter."
And Chen's idea is who can continue to stay in this section and play the game. In the end, Okafor and Dante were decided to stay. Judging by the combined stats of his previous team and the player, Chan doesn't think that's the case with Dante.
So he came up with a somewhat bold idea to keep him on the field. Contrary to Okafor and Burke, Dent still doesn't feel comfortable after coming to the Nets.
"Jefferson, Dante, you two are mostly defensive. Leave the rest basically alone. But that doesn't mean that you don't have contact with your teammates, don't stand there when you should add assists to yourself, the main points of attack in this quarter are Lin, Williamson, Okafor. If something doesn't open the way, Williamson can also quickly organize the game......"
65:50! At the end of the first half, many Nets fans left the court. Chen also felt a little choked when he saw such a score. But that's not to say that there is no chance at all. At half-time he chatted with the coaches and found that the majority still had the idea of winning the game.
And this is the first game, so it's not impossible to fight. Today's playing time for the new players is almost done, Nick and Doyle sit quietly on the court, they haven't gotten a chance to play yet, looking at the performance of Dante and Carroll, Chen didn't think about these two defenders at all.
In the third quarter, the opposing lineup was Montrez, Decker, Johnson, Evans, Teodosic! What's interesting about this team right now is that there are a lot of blue-collar players!
On the field, the quality of such players allows them to form a certain amount of combat power! This is not the case with some teams, and the difference between the main team and the second team is not small. The Nets should still have a relatively large gap in this area now.
Fortunately, there are high-quality players and excellent playmakers in the team. The Nets' lineup on this side is Okafor, Dent, Williamson, Jeremy Lin and Jefferson!
Jefferson is a good player that Brooklyn hasn't thought of in recent seasons. He's going to be useful in a lot of games. If a small forward can't play, he can also contribute to the score on the guard!
At the beginning of the game, Teodosic held the ball to the front court and forced a 2-point hollow shot under Lin's defense! 67:50! This is a real change from last season's style of play!
Not only are the Nets a little uncomfortable, but even the Clippers and their own teams feel that Teodosic is like a different person. But you're going to say he's doing it right, he's not bad in his own attack. Today's shooting was also good.
Williamson is in a hurry now, he just needs to play and win as much as possible for the team! When Lin saw the ball, he immediately hit the ground and passed it to him.
In the face of this Decker's defense, Williamson still calmly got rid of the back jumper and hit a three-point shot! 67:53! There is another interesting comment on Williamson on the Internet, that is, the Trail Blazers regret not being included in the team the most!
The Trail Blazers were almost all the players back then, and Williamson came to their team. As a result, it didn't take long to be released. Atkinson has been staring at this player for two years! There was also an intention to let him go to the Magic team that was coaching at the time.
But when he returned to the Nets, his mind changed. The power in his own hands is also great, and he doesn't need to tell anyone what Williamson is, he can make his own decisions. So as soon as Williamson was deported, he sent someone to get him to Brooklyn!
Teodosic dribbled quickly to the frontcourt, felt the opponent's defensive ability under Jefferson's defense, and quickly passed the ball to Decker, who dribbled and scored a jumper! 69:53!
Williamson serves to Jefferson. Lin took his pass and attracted two defenders from the opposing team and passed the ball to Dante, who then ran to the bottom corner to catch Dante's ball and hit it with three points! 69:56! He and Jeremy Lin met and looked at him, and Jamie Lin looked at him for a little longer.
Johnson carries the ball to the frontcourt, Monterey takes the basketball and lays up and is covered by Okafor! Jefferson immediately got Okafor's pass and played a long pass to Williamson! The Clippers didn't see it well, and two players immediately rushed over, but at this time, Williamson slowed down as if he was deliberately avoiding these two!
Just as Evans also passed, Jeremy Lin took the ball from Williamson here and hit a three-point jumper and hit the basket! 69:59! Doug looked at his players from the sidelines, a little unhappily.
Chen was also a little unhappy at this time, Okafor and Dante were hanging there again, right......
Decker received a pass from Teodosic and faced the Williamson pass to Johnson. The latter's jumper was directly covered by Dent! After Jefferson took the basketball, he rushed over by himself as if he had suddenly clockwork, and then scored points with no one to defend him!! 69:61!
Mozgov felt beautiful at this time~ his playing time was a little less. Don't be so tired. In the preseason, due to the lack of manpower, he and Egyptian Diyus were exhausted. The team went into a timeout.
"This quarter is going to break down in the rest of the game, and we're going to be in the final quarter if nothing else. Burke, pay more attention to Williamson and Jeremy Lin them. Don't come hard, throw ...... when you have the chance" Chen still had some new ideas when he saw the score chasing here.
After returning from the game, the Clippers replaced Monterrey, and the Nets' Tre replaced Jefferson.
Teodosic carried the ball to the frontcourt, and Jordan Jr. almost lay on the ground to take the basketball...... At this time, Dent and Okafor came over to defend, and Decker immediately threw and scored after getting the ball from Jordan Jr.! 71:61!
Burke carried the ball up front and passed it to Jemilin as he faced Evans' defence. Williamson took his ball and didn't shoot. Okafor quickly catches the basketball in the air and dunks to score! 71:63!
Johnson took the basketball in the front court and faced Dent with a jumper that was successfully interfered with by the opponent! Okafor was separated by Uncle Huang at this time, and Dent jumped up again to get the rebound and passed the ball to Trey!
The latter turned past Evans and quickly came to the front. After watching Jamilin shake his head on the other side, he slowed down and looked at the ground and jumped up to hit a three-point shot! 71:66!
"Worthy of last season's championship! Trailing by 15 points in the first half, that's all in the way of letting the Clippers~"
"Distressed Clippers"
"Don't say that to a Clippers fan, okay, wait for our Clippers to amplify in the final quarter!"
Chen overheard such a voice on the sidelines. The Nets' fast chase of points made the fans who had not left the scene addicted! It turns out that the wonderful is to come!
......
Judging from the first quarter and the first half of today's opening, the opponent still has a certain ability! Their Harris and Gallinari are two good scoring points! But just like some of their problems last season, the Clippers still have problems with player coordination this season.
The rest of the problems are probably only known to them. In some of Chen's analysis, this problem is more obvious. The Clippers will improve their scoring after Harris comes up, but their scoring is not very consistent overall.
88:85! At the end of the third quarter, the two sides were only 3 points apart!
In the fourth quarter, the Clippers came on the court, Gallinari and Harris! Evans remained on the court. The Nets' Mozgov, Allen, and Crabbe replaced Okafor, Dent, and Burke respectively.
"It's not exactly, you can see it when you look at the score. They're still good in some places. It wasn't an easy race, and I was a bit surprised to win today......"
When the reporter asked "whether the Nets deliberately let the Clippers in the first half", Chen still denied it.
118:116! In the end, the game was won without danger! The Brooklyn players are delighted! Jordan Jr. left the court with six fouls in less than four minutes to go. At this time, the Nets were more calm in the process of attacking.
Jordan Jr. 12 points, 11 rebounds and 3 blocks! Gallinari 20 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists! Harris had 17 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists! Lowe had 26 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists, and Teodosic had 18 points, 2 rebounds and 6 assists!
In this game, Lu Wei still played well, and Teodosic was also different from last season in that he took more shots on the offensive end!
On the Nets' side, Mozgov had 9 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, and Okafor had 8 points, 7 rebounds and 4 assists! Williamson 31 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists! Crabbe had 15 points, 2 rebounds and 3 assists, and Jeremy Lin had 9 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists! Dante had 3 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists, and Burke had 11 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists.
Among the new players, Burke's performance is not bad, and Okafor has some points and rebounds today! What the Clippers may not have paid much attention to in today's game is that Williamson's offense is relatively easy with them.
Harris and Gallinari were not able to stop Williamson in their few encounters! But this is the kind of Clippers who can also play with the Nets to the end.
Chen didn't know what the outcome would have been if he had played them more seriously in the first half. This arrangement made the Clippers feel for a while that the final victory of today's game belonged to them.
But it was only at the end of the third quarter that they came to their senses, and the team in front of them was not so easy to play.
