Chapter 730: Who Will Advance?
If the 76ers win today, they will advance! And the Timberwolves! In the media, if tonight is more brutal, the first round of the playoffs will be over!
However, the most likely scenario here is that the 76ers and Nets lose to the Green Shirts and Cleveland, respectively. This year's Timberwolves are relatively strong! They're on the verge of winning the Trail Blazers!
"The opponent started the game well. Relax, it's them who should be nervous! Claude's individual breakthrough ability is still good. Williamson and Rose stepped up on the defensive end and didn't let the opposition have too many chances......
Such a situation is still expected. Jefferson is a bit of a struggle for Crowder, both offensively and defensively! And Williamson is different!
Back on the Nets' side, Jamilin took the serve and faced Thomas Jr.'s defense with a quick pass to Deyous of Egypt. Mozgov took his pass and hit a 2-point jumper straight back! 8:2!
Looking at the Cavaliers' state today, it's not the same as before. The players are exceptionally calm! That's pretty scary. How far will a Cavaliers who are going to compete with the Nets play.
What makes people feel that there is still drama is the instability that sometimes occurs in Cleveland. Once some of their players are in a slump, like in the previous games, then the Nets still have a chance to win!
Iman quickly received Thomas Jr.'s pass and hit a three-point shot! 11:2! But the situation is not very rosy at the moment. Williamson carried the ball to the front court and quickly passed it to Egypt's Dius under Crowder's defense, whose layup was interfered with by Channing! Mozgov took the basketball and passed directly to the Rose in front of Lefou.
In the face of two defenses, Rose hit a three-point shot directly! 11:5! In this game, it means a lot to Rose! His dream may be able to continue to buy further today!
Before the game, he personally found Chen Yinan to talk about this matter. Roughly it means trying to get more playing time.
"You know that if you play for a long time, you and Garnett may have problems with fitness," Chan said solemnly as he looked at Rose.
"I've been in this situation before and I'm sure I can handle it. Physically, if you feel like it's dropping, I'll tell you."
"I actually think so. It's just that I'm worried about the physical exhaustion of the two of you, and I'm worried about your injuries. ”
"Coach, what kind of opponent are we facing. Since they can make history and turn the Warriors like that, they can treat us with the same defense. And against a team like this, we have to play harder, and sometimes we may have to pay a certain price, but it's better than just ending the season, I think."
......
Chen now thinks back to the conversation at that time. I don't know what this game is going to be like yet. If the Nets really get to that point and want to win again, they have to fight hard with them! The wolf king's reaction was quite natural. He also agreed after hearing Chen's thoughts about Ross. I don't think it's a problem, at least it's okay to stick to two sections.
Both of these veterans have good personal experience! Rose's performance in the playoffs when he was with the Bulls was very eye-catching! Now he should be relatively restrained in this regard. Because I was worried about the cause of the injury. But the lethality of the rose in the offensive is still very strong!
Garnett doesn't need to say more. Although it took many years to form a triumvirate with the Boston Celtics and win the championship! But basically in his entire career, he won the NBA championship trophy!
Naturally, there are a lot of important moments that he and the team have experienced in it! The favorites for the title that year were the Celtics and the Los Angeles Lakers! Sister-in-law, Bryant, Bynum and Old Fish Fisher have good offensive ability! And Ariza, World Peace and Odom's individual play is also good!
With these two players, the Nets also have confidence!
Iman slowly got to the frontcourt, and Channing took his basketball on the outside and hit a three-point shot! 14:5! At this time, the scene is boiling! Today, the Cavaliers feel like they're going to enter Game 7 with the Nets!
The mentality of Cavaliers fans has also changed a bit during this time. They no longer feel like the Nets are a vulnerable team. Immediately the opponent will win another game and will take them.
At this time, fans hope that by the end, the Cavaliers can beat the Nets 4-3. In that case, even if it feels like the Cavaliers shouldn't have been playing for so long, and they can already win, there's not much to say.
After the rose arrived in the front court, he took Jeremy Lin's pass and quickly hit Thomas Jr. to no avail, ran to the bottom corner and jumped back to a three-pointer! 14:8! Rose came on and it worked right away! Coach Lu looked at the Nets' bench. Kevin was sitting on the bench watching the game!
After Crowder's jumper was missing, Williamson got the rebound and quickly rushed to the front court and hit a three-point shot! 14:11! Some Cavaliers fans are now starting to beat faster! It's really a great way to chase points.
Thomas Jr.'s pace slowed down. Love took his ball and quickly rushed over to dunk and score! 16:11! Lin stepped on the line after reaching the front court for 2 points! Mozgov and Love were quickly picked up by the other team in the scramble, and Claude took the basketball and passed it to Iman. The latter hit a three-point shot after a quick half-time!
31:20! The Nets still didn't shoot well at the end. In the end, the difference with the opponent was 11 points.
"In the first half, my request was to try to draw with the opponent. If you can't hit this, the difference is about 3 points, not more than 6 points. If you can't attack inside, you shoot more on the outside. It's very important for the team to work together, run more, try to get rid of the opponent's defense, and if you can't do that, do a good job of blocking or other methods to create opportunities for your teammates......"
On the Cavaliers' side, Wade and James are on the court! Korver replaces Iman. Such intentions are more obvious. The first quarter should have completed what the coach had assigned, that is, entering the second quarter with a narrow lead over the Nets.
And then in this quarter, the Nets go straight into garbage time! On the Nets' side, Garnett and Russell came to the court respectively. In the second quarter, Chen also wanted to improve the Nets' coordination and playmaking skills. So let Jeremy Lin and Russell come to the field at the same time to organize the team!
At the start of the game, Korver passed the ball to James after half-time, and the latter quickly jumped three-pointer into the net! 34:20! At this time, the cheers of the audience became louder!
Lin held the ball almost past halfcourt, and Russell took the basketball and feigned offense to attract the defense and passed the ball to Williamson. The latter immediately got up and dunked and let Love receive his second foul of the game! After scoring the penalty, it successfully played 2+1! 34:23!
Chan wants to give Rose more playing time in today's game, and Garnett's will improve accordingly. It's risky, and by the end of the day, one of them gets injured and it's not good for the rest of the game.
James got the basketball again, faced Williamson's defense, and directly used his footsteps to find a suitable opportunity after a quick stop, and jumped up and shot 2 points directly! 36:23!
Lin quickly went to the frontcourt, and Garnett took the basketball and went straight to LeFou. Lefous didn't react to another foul. The wolf king made 2 free throws and hit 2 hits! 36:25! Coach Lu frowned suddenly. There were already three fouls shortly after the start of this second quarter of the game!
Love took James' pass to the frontcourt, and immediately jumped up to hit a three-point shot with Williamson's help defense! 39:25! Lin received Russell's pass and went directly to the inside of the Cavaliers, allowing Love to get another foul and successfully play 2+1!
Lew directly asked for a timeout. Lefu was also a little excited at this time, and he was about to quarrel with the referee! Wade saw it and went over with Channing and dragged him back. At this time, the referee was already waiting for Lefu to continue to find him to reason.
James and Wade, when they saw the referee's eyes, they felt that Lefoukai was about to be blown "T". Now at home, perhaps the referees will be more lenient with the Cavaliers players' performance like this. But there is still a limit. On the Nets' side, several balls in the first quarter of the game seemed to be controversial, and the other party did not come to the referee to theorize.
"The other side is putting pressure on us. Be calm at this time. Don't be so hasty with the ball. Also, pay attention to the other party's foul ...... 'finding' you" Lu was still a little confused at this time.
But the situation on the scene must make him quickly ask for a timeout! The Nets' approach to Garnett is still relatively smart. And Jeremy Lin and the rest of the Nets players immediately understood that!
The role of Love in the main lineup that the Cavaliers need now cannot be ignored! So if you can get him down in advance, maybe the game won't be so difficult!
"When you defend, you have to be in place! Don't overlook this. They won't be in great shape all the time. So as long as we keep it, there will be a time when their efficiency will come down. Let's continue with the tactics we just had, as we said earlier. Coordination is important. ”
After the Cavaliers returned to the court, Wade's three-pointer was missed, and Mozgov got the rebound and immediately passed the ball to Russell. Lin hit a three-point shot directly after arriving in the frontcourt! 39:31!
The Nets are starting to chase points! And the Cavaliers' side didn't seem to be in as good shape as in the first quarter. Seeing this, Lu began to feel anxious. Korver took James' pass after halftime and stepped on the line to hit a 2-point shot! 41:31!
The more you play against the Nets, the more uncertain you sometimes become. I don't know how they're going to fight you.
And sometimes it gets right. In today's league, some teams basically have good three-point accuracy if they can quickly rank high! The Rockets' three-point shooting over the years has really reached a terrifying point in the game!
They don't look inferior against the Spurs and the Warriors! And the strong teams facing them should also pay more attention to the opponent's score! The Cavaliers here will now consider shooting threes whenever they have the chance!
Russell carried the ball to the frontcourt, and Williamson took the ball and used Garnett's body as a cover to shoot a three-point jumper! 41:34! Now he has no problems, at least in terms of performance, he has come back a lot.
In the conversation with the manager, he also made it clear that on the one hand, he felt good and there was no problem. The other is that there is no problem with his performance on the field, so he will play for a while again.
After Channing's three-pointer was missed, Lin got the rebound and quickly passed the ball to Williamson across the halfcourt. Cleveland's defense is also fast! Russell took Williamson's pass in the air after receiving a pass from the bottom corner and jumped into the net with a three-point hollow! 41:37!
After LeBron took the basketball, he rushed to the goal and scored a dunk under Williamson's defense! 43:37! It seems that the little emperor is really in a hurry! He doesn't seem to be in a good mood at this time!
Brooklyn is now on the verge of tying the score! Garnett took Russell's ground-hitting pass and scored 2 points straight to Tristan! 43:39! At this time, Chen Yinan felt that the current Nets should be under control.
They have a good pace. Wade dribbled the ball to the front court, and after a sudden start past Russell, he asked for a foul from Mozgov and managed to make it 2+1! 46:39!
Wade has been basically passing the ball since he came on the court. At this time, his sudden attack immediately attracted Chen's attention!
Tristan gets the rebound and passes the ball to James. After halftime, Wade took LeBron's pass and broke away from Korver's defense, Jeremy Lin. Russell was immediately blocked by Korver. Wade saw James coming and rushed in to score 2 points again! 48:39!
Jamilin quickly got to the front court and hit a 2-pointer after passing Korver and Wade's defense! 48:41! Channing took Wade's pass and his jumper was blocked by Williamson! Korver picked up the basketball and jumped straight up to hit a three-point shot!
The Cavaliers, on their side, are not so strict defensively now. But the offensive efficiency has come up! 51:41! The Nets have never been able to catch Cleveland.
James goes to the frontcourt, Williamson comes over to defend! Channing got the basketball again and passed the ball back! James immediately picked up, Williamson ran in the direction he predicted, and then prepared to block the little emperor's layup!
James, who spotted Williamson's intentions in the air, made a quick pass to Channing. Wade takes a pass behind him and hits a three-point shot! 54:41!
Jeremy Lin passes the ball to Williamson. The latter got up to attract two defenders and passed the ball to Lin, and Russell took the basketball and hit a three-point shot! 54:44!
Chen is ready at this time, and he will be replaced after a while. In this way, it should not be able to tie the score in the end. And the 3-point difference he said will not be realized. Call a timeout and let Brooklyn get into the third quarter early!
Tristan's jumper missed, Mozgov got the rebound and passed to Williamson. The latter's three points didn't go in! Russell didn't score a 2-point jump shot from a long distance after taking the basketball! Korver rushed across the half court after getting the basketball, and his three-pointer missed!
Garnett got the rebound and passed the ball to Lin. Williamson took the basketball in the front court and jumped up and threw the ball out!
