Chapter 711: Benign Rise
Of the remaining opponents in the regular season, there are still a significant number of teams that the Nets can't be sure to win. And their current results will also affect the final ranking of this competition! There's less coverage for the Nets now.
Perhaps the media is now starting to feel that although the Nets have made a lot of noise this season, it should be just a flash in the pan in the end.
After the Nets' Crabbe mid-range jumper was missing, Wall immediately hit a three-point shot in the frontcourt! 14:7!
There was some anxiety in Chen's eyes at this time. The current Nets lineup, the Wizards, is not completely out of the way to deal with it! And a few days ago, the Nets also seemed to enter a countdown state.
10th in the East, with 10 games left! It seems that the marathon runners are nearing the end of the race and find that there are still some opponents in front of them. There is still some distance. Chen Yinan knows what it means if the Nets don't even make the playoffs this season.
The morale of the team may be down. Williamson may go to another team right away! With his current grades, it should be easier to get a three-year, $18 million+ contract with him.
Lin slowly went to the frontcourt, and Garnett took the basketball and immediately singled Morris with his back to hit the board and put it into the basket! 14:9! The Nets bench immediately cheered!
"Williamson, defend well, we're going to start the pursuit!" The Wolf King said when he served to him. Nets players who are playing with Garnett for the first time will be able to appreciate how committed the superstar is on the court!
And Kevin isn't the kind of player who is very lonely! He will only come out and score immediately on the field unless his teammates start to play badly and the rhythm is unstable!
Garnett's quick scoring made the team's form slightly better. And with him, the morale of the team is not as unstable as it was just now. Beal went to the front court and gave tritum to Porter, whose jumper was directly covered by Williamson!
Seeing that Wall was going to come over to grab the ball, Williamson immediately picked up the basketball and slapped it hard! This kind of dribbling made the Wizards unable to deal with it for a while. The basketball was shot out, almost three meters away, Williamson went to get the basketball right away, went straight to the position near the free throw line, immediately jumped, and then glided in the air for a while before dunking and scoring!
At this time, such a goal at the opponent's home stadium has won many cheers and shouts from fans! When you have the opportunity, you naturally want to show it~ Williamson looked at the audience and signaled to accept their recognition~
"Don't get intoxicated, what do you think is the final blow?" Kevin came over and slapped Williamson before pulling him back from that state...... Seeing that Beal was almost half-time, Williamson immediately ran back!
Potter reached for the ball and Bill saw that Williamson was already close and immediately passed the ball to Morris! The wolf king quickly put down Morris and passed the long ball to Lin, and Lin immediately hit a three-point shot in the front court when no one was guarded! 14:14!
Now Chen has just recovered a little from the state he was in just now. But that's just a draw. Wall slowly arrived in the front court, and after receiving the ball, he was thinking about what reason the opponent could quickly tie the score, and accidentally saw Kevin looking at himself and immediately got up to speed past Crabbe and hit a 2-point jumper! 16:14!
33:32! The first quarter of the game ended in a very close game, and the two sides only separated by 1 point in the end.
'You have to slow down the tempo and make sure you are efficient in attack. This is the key. Players play more together, pass more ......" The Nets' lineup for the second quarter was Egyptian Diyous, Quincy, Williamson, Russell and Goodwin!
If you want to make the team have more stamina, you need to let some key players rest more in advance. It's not that Rose hasn't thought about it, but the opponent's attack is sometimes faster! The efficiency is also relatively high!
So be cautious. The opponent did not change the lineup.
Beal holds the ball to the frontcourt and shoots a three-point jumper directly into the net at Russell! 36:32!
In this section, Chen hopes that Quincy and Goodwin can suppress each other! As long as there is not too much difference, in the third quarter, the Nets will start to chase back! But if this verse is too bad, then it hangs.
Goodwin took the basketball and quickly went to the frontcourt, facing the bag between Bill and Wall, and finally Wall cut the ball! Porter hit a three-point shot immediately after receiving the basketball in the frontcourt! 39:32!
Russell slowly passed the half, and Williamson took the basketball and passed to Quincy, who had already pulled out, to Potter! When the other party didn't fully react, Quincy immediately replied with a three-pointer! 39:35!
When it comes to the ability to shoot three-pointers, Brooklyn also has some. However, compared to the Wizards, the Nets' three-point shooting is sometimes inconsistent. I don't know when it will appear!
Since the start of today's game, Williamson has been "taken care of" by the other side. Presumably, they have listed Williamson as a task for every player if they want to win the game.
After a period of such a situation, Williamson's form is still somewhat up and down. However, unlike other players, he took the initiative to find the team's psychologist to understand his state and how to deal with it.
In the following games, Williamson gradually became more relaxed. He has good physical fitness, bounce and explosiveness! Under such conditions, some players are still more difficult to defend against him.
If you're as physically strong as a defender, Williamson will respond to the situation by making more long-range shots. If the player who defends him is a thin or average player, then Williamson is not very polite!
Gortat misses the shot after receiving Wall's pass! Porter got the rebound and passed the ball to Beal, who made a three-pointer straight through the net! 42:35!
61:54! It can be said that the Nets are fighting hard now!
......
"I think Garnett should not let him appear in the third quarter. He's defensively good too, and I think Egypt Diyus can defend well in this quarter. We talked about this before the game."
Although Chen felt a little surprised, he still said to Jim gently.
"I mean let Kevin play until the end of the game"
"You know, Jimmy. Garnett's fitness is an issue. When we use his words, the players are more offended. And the decline in physical fitness will also make his performance ability decrease."
"I feel like he can do it. Kevin doesn't have a lot of individual offenses, and he's pretty good at that. Passing the ball a lot, and not exerting a lot of energy on offense"
At halftime, Chan and Jim chatted for a while. However, in the end, he did not agree to his plan.
In the third quarter of the game, Washington's adjustment was still very big! Their lineup is Marshinmy, Smith, Kelly, Tim and Wall! On this side of the Nets, they are Egyptian Dius, Allen, Williamson, Crabbe, Rose!
The opponent's interior strength is not strong. In fact, Jim meant that letting the wolf king appear too early might be able to quickly turn the tide of the battle. But Chen felt that time had not yet come. And this verse doesn't have to be reversed!
At this time, the fans at the scene also began to be in good spirits! They saw that the Nets' roses were already on the court! Crabbe carried the ball to the frontcourt, Williamson quickly took the basketball and jumped in front of Kelly to shoot a three-point hollow into the net! 61:57!
The shot is very resolute! Wall slowly passed the half, and Smith got his ball and hit Allen's back-to-back single! 63:57!
After receiving Crabbe's pass, Rose hit a three-point jumper with a three-point shot under the bag of Wall and Tim! 63:60! The other party is about to ask for a timeout! Jim's expression calmed down a bit.
"The opposing defenders and Williamson need to be extra careful, and as for their center and power forward, don't worry too much about them. Try to wrap up when defending, don't give them a chance! It's still going to be fast in terms of speed! Quickly tear apart the opponent's defense and give me a quick score!! ”
The players were a little dazed at this time, which was in stark contrast to the high morale of the main squad in the first half.
"Don't go straight to the attack, I mean, don't be too monotonous. And don't let them judge right away how you hit. Rose too, the other players try to attract the opposition defense and pass the ball to the one who has an open space......"
Chen's meaning, if this fight continues. Sooner or later, the opposing team will find the Nets' weakness in constant defense. If the Nets are uncertain on offense, it will give their team a big chance!
After coming back, the opponent replaced Kelly with Mike! The Nets' lineup remains the same.
Thiem took Wall's pass and broke in to score 2 points! 65:60! After Rose took the basketball, the cheers from the audience were high! These are his fans!
When he got to the frontcourt, Wall mainly defended him! After a sudden start, under the opponent's bag, Rose decisively passed the ball to Crabbe. The latter used Williamson's body as a cover for a quick three-point shot! 65:63!
The Nets are moving a lot faster at this time! And the shooting percentage has also changed from the second quarter of the game! The main meaning of this section of the game is to fight with the opponent to score! And at this time, the Wizards team no longer has such strong combat effectiveness in this regard!
If their overall state is not too high, it will only be about a section. Soon after the past, their abilities will come back quickly! It is precisely because of this point that Chen feels that if he wins this competition, he will do a good job in this area.
After Wall's three-point shooting, Egypt's Diyus quickly got the rebound and dribbled quickly across the half! Williamson got his pass very naturally and quickly went over to dunk to score points! 65:65! The whole process was very smooth!
Randy stood there quietly. There was some helplessness on his face. But the game still has to go on. He was in the same mood as Chen in the previous quarter, and hoped that this quarter of the game would not allow Brooklyn to score too many points.
After two quarters of play, Gortat looked a little tired. He spoke a little less and sat there watching the game by himself. It was like thinking about something.
Now the Nets can obviously feel that the opponent's aura has weakened a lot. Mike held the ball and was about to burst in and was cut off directly by Williamson! Crabbe hit a three-point shot immediately after taking the basketball in the frontcourt! 68:65! Brooklyn is now starting to overtake the score!
Wall took Mike's serve at this time and quickly went to the frontcourt, passed the opponent under Crabbe's defense, and then faced Allen and let him get a foul and successfully played 2+1! 68:68! Wall's combat ability is still very strong. However, Randy feels like he's going to let him go off the court for the next game.
Williamson slowly dribbled the ball in the front court, and immediately rushed over when he saw Mike coming, and suddenly made a sharp stop and made a three-point jumper to hit the board into the basket!! 71:68!
Then Thiem's three-pointer was missed, and Egypt's Dius got the rebound and passed the ball to Allen! Crabbe took the basketball to the front court, waited for the opposing team to come over two players, and then quickly passed the ball to the Rose on the other side. Rose jumped into the net with a three-point hollow! 74:68!
Randy was about to call a timeout, and the referee signaled that it was time out. The opponent's head coach actually asked for a timeout one step ahead of him!
"Jeremy Lin goes up, and you control the pace of the rest of the game. The whole team now remembers to make this quarter as few points as possible for them! Work the breakout......"
After returning from the game, Lin replaced Crabbe, and on the Wizards' side, Meeks replaced Wall. Smith didn't throw after taking the basketball! Egypt's Dius immediately grabbed the rebound and passed the ball to Williamson!
Lin took the basketball and quickly came to the front court and scored three points!! 77:68! At this point, the players on Washington's side felt like they were sleepwalking. Randy wasn't in a good mood either, and he wasn't a little happy when he was assigning the task just now.
Now the Wizards feel that it is more difficult to defend the Nets. Their overall feeling is that there are no major points of attack! It also increases the difficulty in judging!
Meeks crossed the half, and Smith immediately took his pass and immediately jumped to the basket for a 2-point shot! 77:70! Rose immediately received Lin's pass and shot a three-point jumper after arriving in the frontcourt!
Allen got the rebound and immediately passed the ball to Williamson, who still didn't have three points! Egypt's Diyus took the basketball and passed the ball to Lin. Lin directly hit the three-point board into the basket! 80:70! After this round, the scene suddenly became a lot quieter......
Garnett was chatting with Mozgov at the moment, and he made no secret of Egypt's Diyous' talent for rebounding as one of the best young players he's seen in recent years. And there are only three of them that he thinks are good.
After the Wolves came to the Nets and signed a coaching position dedicated to training Nets players, Brooklyn's defensive and rebounding abilities have improved to a certain extent. The one who benefited more from this was Aaron!
He knows that in the team, his defense and rebounding are not very good in front of Egyptian Dius. The only good thing is that I have gained a lot of practical experience this season. So when Kevin started training them, he was very serious.
Some of the experience and know-how in the game are easily obtained~ Russell feels that the current Nets are a bit like the Lakers he just arrived a few years ago. Not only is the atmosphere of the team good, but the overall strength of the team is improving significantly!
