Chapter 695: A Lot of New Seedlings!
After playing this game, the Nets returned to Brooklyn from their recent road trip. Although the team's wins have increased a lot since Chen Yinan's return, the Nets coached by him have won 7 of the last 10 games!
But the current ranking is still very low. Only one place has risen from 15th. The team is naturally happy when it wins, but it feels a lot of pressure when it loses, and the Nets are a little breathless.
Fortunately, the next game will not be so cruel. This season's Bulls have seen Wade's departure, and injuries to some players have caused the team's results to plummet rapidly. Chicago, which had just picked up some momentum, is now in a downturn again.
LaVine has recently been injured again, which has undoubtedly made the game a little less difficult again. In this case, Robin Lopez really has to be both offensive and defensive like his brother on the Lakers!
There are fewer players who can score well. And the efficiency of players who can score to a certain extent is not very high.
Bobby is currently scoring 11.9 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.2 assists! The desire to attack is strong. He's a good blue-collar striker. Outstanding rebounding ability.
Nikola, who has played 19.1 points, 7.6 rebounds and 2.1 assists so far this season, is very beautiful for the whole team! He has stepped up to the plate after such a situation in the team this season, and his personal efficiency has improved dramatically!
If there were some areas where his personal ability was not so good before, this season he has basically played very hard! I didn't do much defensively, and basically focused on scoring and rebounding!
Robin, Brooke's twin brother. Good at defending. He currently has 12.6 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.9 assists! Since the start of the regular season, I can see his efforts, but the data is up, and the efficiency is relatively average.
Holiday was a blue-collar guard with 13 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.4 assists.
And if such a team wants to win more games, it will have to rely on the players to cooperate with each other and break through quickly. It's similar to how the Nets sometimes play. Mozgov feels like he's still a little weaker against Robin.
The rest of the players will have to look at the situation as well. In the rankings, the Bulls are still in 12th place.
When I returned to Brooklyn, I felt that there were still a lot of fans today. And it's also quite welcoming. The starting lineup of the Bulls is Robin, Bobby, Nikola, Holiday and Payne. On the Nets' other end of the spectrum are Mozgov, Quincy, Jonathan, Jeremy Lin and Goodwin.
If Williamson were the starter, it would have been easier to play. But Chen wants to see the strength of the Bulls now.
"You have to be more defensive against Nikolai, and you have to pay attention to Robin's defense. He's not that easy to fool. Let's cooperate more on offense......" After Chen finished speaking, he watched his players warm up to the referee standing in the middle of the two teams' starters.
Robin unexpectedly dribbled the ball after taking the basketball first, and Holiday received a pass from Lopez on the right side and jumped to the net from a long distance 2 points!
When a team doesn't have a good result, it's natural to make adjustments. This season's Chicago team still gave a certain evaluation in the media. Although their record is not good, the expectations for this team are quite high.
There were some races where there were good performances as well. Yes, Chen Ting expects that there will be some problems with their cooperation. There is also offensive efficiency and personnel rotation, and the Nets can quickly find a way to surpass the opponent!
Goodwin quickly got the ball to the frontcourt, got past Payne and passed to Mozgov, who was pressed down by Robin on a layup! Poppy got the basketball and passed the ball to Nikola, who went to the front court and hit a three-pointer! 5:0!
The opponent's offensive is still quite fierce. Lin took Jonathan's pass and went to the frontcourt, passed the opponent immediately in front of Payne and threw it to score points! 5:2!
Generally, the teams that play at the bottom of the rankings for a period of time are basically because they don't have very strong players in the team, such as LaVine, who was expected by the Bulls this season, but now he is still injured.
There is also the fact that the team does not have too strong control over the rhythm of the whole game. One of these games was played on the home court of the Nets, and the other was that he was more confident that his team's current roster could still handle it.
Holiday held the ball and immediately took advantage of Payne's body to jump up and hit a three-point shot without Jonathan noticing! 8:2! Quincy went to the sideline to serve to Goodwin, who quickly crossed the half-court and played the ball back to Jonathan, who had just arrived.
The latter hit a direct three-point shot! 8:5! Nikolai took the basketball and dunked after passing Jonathan to score points!
10:5! If you play like this, the game will be interesting. Sometimes the Bulls don't play well in the first quarter and their offensive efficiency is low. But what's going on today? Chen began to be wary at this time.
After Lin's three-point shooting, Holiday immediately got the rebound and quickly passed the half, Nikola took the basketball and other slow Lopez came back and immediately passed the ball! Robin directly deducted 2 points into the account! 12:5!
Chen asked for a timeout at this point. If you play like this, the Nets will fall into passivity. Originally, the team he encountered was not strong, and it would not be worth it if he let the other party give him a victory.
"How? Were you defeated by Team Rocket? When Chen finished saying this, he saw that several players were a little unhappy. That's what he wants.
"Aaron, Crabbe, you play. There is still no main point of attack, give me the team's cooperation......" Chen said quickly there.
In the face of such a team's own rhythm and cooperation, if you play well, you will have a better chance of winning. Therefore, Chen Yinan hopes that the Nets will find a good feeling in this regard as soon as possible, so they will be more confident in dealing with the Bulls.
Crabbe was still not very happy with his performance in the last game against the Rockets. In fact, the intensity of that game is still very strong when you look at it now! For a blue-collar defender, it's naturally difficult to defend a star player in the league.
It wasn't long after half time that Jeremy Lin drew two Bulls defenders and passed to Crabbe, who broke past Holiday and didn't want to be caught by Robin. The Nets were slammed out! It's like playing volleyball!
However, the strength was too big, and the Nets did not reach their teammates. Lin immediately got the basketball and passed to Jonathan, whose jumper was interfered with by Bobby! Robin took the basketball this time and passed the ball to Nikolai, who was next to him.
Payne went to the frontcourt and made a three-point shot into the basket! 15:5! Such a performance at the beginning made Nets fans feel a little disappointed. The atmosphere at the scene also cooled down a bit.
Crabbe slowly went to the front court and forced a three-point shot under the defense of Holiday and Payne! However, Payne immediately received the first foul of the game due to excessive action.
Crabbe, who was standing next to the free throw line, shook his hand and got 3 free throws for the basketball! 15:8! Nikola served the ball to Holiday on the sidelines, who quickly passed the half-court and passed the ball to Nikola, who had just arrived.
Robin took the basketball and dribbled a few times and was copied by Jeremy Lin! Crabbe immediately saw the basketball coming towards him, took the basketball and dribbled a few times, and passed it directly to Jonathan. In the case of no defense, Jonathan decisively jumped three points into the net! 15:11!
At this time, Brooklyn's state has obviously improved. The Nets generally choose to shoot threes after seizing the opportunity! This can quickly shorten the score difference with the opponent!
29:23! The Bulls are also a bit hard in this game! This made Chen Yinan interested in such a team~ I don't know how far they can play.
In the second quarter, the opposing team did not change the lineup. The Nets had Williamson replace Jonathan. After seeing the scene, a certain cheer broke out immediately. Although the sound is not very loud, it is very useful for Williamson~
Not only has he accumulated a certain amount of fame on the home court of the Nets. And it has also been noticed by a lot of media!
After Payne got Robin's serve, he observed the current Nets to the frontcourt, and Holiday immediately took the basketball and dribbled twice and jumped up to be hit by Williamson and flew the basketball fan out of bounds!
Holiday didn't stand still and sat on the ground! In a trance, he thought that he was facing the dream of the Golden State Warriors! But there is a difference when you think about it, Green's words may now be an elbow on his body or head......
Thinking of this, he looked at Williamson, who was there, a little annoyed that he had exerted too much force. Holiday goes to the sideline to serve to Payne. After the latter's three-point shooting, Robin immediately got the rebound and dunked to score! 31:23!
Williamson took Lin's pass and hit a three-point shot in Nikola's defense! 31:26! This young but strong player is very serious about attacking! He will impress both offensively and defensively.
Williamson, who has good strength, still has good skills in all aspects! Nikola took the ball from Payne and didn't have a quick shot. Allen got the rebound and passed to Jeremy Lin. Crabbe immediately hit a three-point shot after receiving Jamilin's pass in the half! 31:29!
The score difference has narrowed to 2 points at once! Robin's shot didn't go after Bobby got the rebound and missed the jumper! Mozgov took the rebound and immediately made a long pass to Lin.
The latter hit a three-point shot directly after half time! 32:31! The score is overtaken! The atmosphere at the scene was also lively! The Bulls are about to take a timeout.
"Defensively and rebounding, it's not very good. Be careful in this regard! At some times, it was ...... to go straight to the bag," and it was clear that Fred was not very happy with the team's performance at the beginning of the second quarter.
"Be quick when attacking! Don't leave the other person too much to think! Being able to tear a hole will give our team a breakthrough, and if we play like this, we will have more advantages......"
Chen immediately thought about how to deal with the next Bulls when the players returned. However, the Bulls did not substitute just one player, as Chen thought. And Chipzer is also on.
Markkanen and Zipze were on the pitch. This season, the Bulls have faced a steady stream of injuries, and some players have grown up in this situation. Zipze's words haven't been too impressive this season. But Markkanen is a good guy.
After coming back, Zipze immediately took over the basketball and passed Crabbe, using his height and footsteps to directly lean back and jump shot, a long-distance 2-point hollow into the net! 33:32!
Immediately after Lin's three-pointer was gone, Markkanen and Robin jumped up together and had some collisions! Markkanen gets the basketball and passes the ball quickly to Robin. Zipze immediately went to the front court after receiving Robin's ball, and Payne got the basketball and hit the board directly into the basket! 36:32!
The effect after the pause came back is still there. Williamson got the basketball and scored points in front of Robin and Nikolai after Zipzer's quick pass! 36:34!
Zipze found that the attack of the big black player in front of him didn't seem to be able to stop him! It may not be possible to hold on to it...... The impact is too strong! Robin was standing there in a daze.
Payne took the basketball to the frontcourt, Markkanen immediately got his pass and went to the basket and was snatched by Williamson directly in the air to grab the ball! Jeremy Lin took the basketball and immediately hit the ground and passed to Crabbe!
The latter jumped straight up and hit a three-point shot! 37:36! The game didn't go as expected, and the Bulls trailed the Nets by a certain point margin. Instead, I have been hoping to open up the gap with the Nets!
After Nikola got past the defense of Lin and Williamson, he stepped back and made a 2-point jumper to hit the basket because he was afraid of this strong young man! 38:37!
Williamson carried the ball to the front court, and under the defense of Nikola and Zipze, he jumped high and threw the ball out! Three points hollow into the net! 40:38! This ball is sealed on the face and still throws the ball in!
The scene immediately erupted in a lot of cheers! Ever since Williamson arrived at the Nets, fans have been looking forward to the young guy's performance in the game! Unlike some newcomers, Williamson's personal shooting percentage and judgment on the field are not low and correct!
He is also fighting on his own and attacking on his own. But even the Nets players on the bench didn't have much to say about him. Because he's so sudden! Immediately after Robin's dunk was covered by Williamson!
Pass the ball to Lin after getting the ball! The latter took Williamson's ball and tossed it high to Allen. Allen dunked directly to score points! 42:38! After Williamson came up, the overall speed of the Nets increased!
This also aggravates the Bulls' sense of powerlessness! Their form is also gradually declining. If you want to win against the Nets, you have to keep looking for opportunities. So now the Bulls are not playing so fast.
Zipzer saw Jeremy Lin and Allen coming over and passed the ball to Markkanen. The latter's shot was interfered with by Allen! López took the basketball and jumped up quickly and passed the ball to Payne!
Crabbe went over and cut off Payne's ball directly and passed it to Allen, and Nikola immediately stole Allen's ball and jumped up to hit a 2-point shot! 42:40! If the other party can continue to consume the Nets like this, then the suspense of the later games will increase!
Jeremy Lin slowly made his way to the frontcourt, and Payne saw him rushing over and greeted him.
