Chapter 809: Listen to Kobe Bryant this time
It can be seen that the Mavericks are still fighting hard against the Nets now. Some of the audience couldn't understand the final pick up of the second quarter of the game. Who can win at such a level in the end?
Why did Williamson and Jeremy Lin take a break? With these questions in mind, we went into the intermission. Chen still sweated a little in his heart. The other party is really fighting with Brooklyn!
50:50! Neither team scored a lot, but the other team scored 30 points in the second quarter! In the next game, Doyle and Nick basically don't have much playing time, and the Nets want to take out the team's relatively good lineup and play each other!
"We fought for the lead in this quarter of the game to enter the fourth quarter, and in the middle of the final quarter of the game, the opponent lost confidence in the game...... Chen's attitude was natural. The players listened as if it had all happened.
Some Nets fans who are back have already left at this point. They don't quite understand why they play against the Mavericks, who don't have Nowitzki, are still playing like this. If Williamson is here, he will win!
The opposing lineup came back in the third quarter with Mejri, Maxey, Barnes, Harrison and Smith! Although I know that the Nets are playing with a lot of substitutes, I am still happy to see the team and the opponent tie the score at the end.
The lineup on the Nets' side is Garnett, Dante, Jonathan, Rose and Crabbe! Jonathan was entrusted with a big deal when Williamson wasn't on the team!
He's good in individual singles and he's fast! The outside three-pointer is more accurate than Jefferson's!
......
"Don't worry about the game, Jamilin~~ Doesn't Chen mean to let us enjoy the holiday~" Williamson was stretching lazily on the sofa at this time, and said to Jeremy Lin, who was watching the game seriously.
"There's a lot of things you have to communicate with your teammates when you're training, and they can play better," Lin said intently.
The two of them were unexpectedly put on vacation...... This kind of treatment is something that many players can't ask for. It's not very comfortable for Lin, he and Williamson also said that they want to beat the Mavericks, and they are deprived of even the opportunity to play......
It's hard to change things once that guy Chen decides. The two of them went shopping and played badminton during the day...... Playing Soccer ...... After all kinds of play, I turned on the TV in the evening and started the game between my team and the Mavericks.
If you don't look at it, you will feel uncomfortable. Because it is said that two people have some minor injuries, there is nothing wrong with such exercise. Lin also played fixed-point shooting with Williamson, with 50 balls per game in three games, and Lin won Williamson 42:30, 45:37, and 39:36 in three games!
The latter said that it was bad luck, and originally thought that after the best-of-three games, he asked to play with Lin again and took over but still failed to win Lin.
Crabbe carries the ball to the frontcourt, and this season has affected some Nets players, including Crabbe, to varying degrees. Especially in the defenders, there is a lot of competition. If you count Jefferson, there are a total of 8 people competing! 4 rotational lineups!
But in fact, there are only 5 people used in each game. Crabbe would normally be here. Last season, there were more of these four players: Jeremy Lin, Russell, Crabbe and Rose.
Nick sent a signal to the team when he got on the court. That's why Brooklyn may have to squeeze out two guards in the distribution of players in the future!
After passing Smith, Crabbe quickly passed Harrison again and threw in to score! 52:50!
After Maxi received Smith's pass, he quickly countered with Dent and played with his back to the single, which was directly interfered with by the opponent! Garnett got the rebound and passed to Crabbe, and the rose went to the front court to receive Crabbe's pass and hit a three-point shot directly! 55:50!
Although the players on the outside still feel a little weak defensively, the offense on the inside and the overall rhythm of the Nets have changed a lot! The opposing team can clearly feel this.
"Let's stop attacking just yet, give Barnes a chance," Harrison whispered to Smith at this point.
"Well, that seems to be the only way to it," Smith said helplessly. Now they don't feel like they have any hands.
Barnes jumped up and hit a three-point shot as soon as he got the basketball! 55:53! The players on the opposing bench immediately boiled! This sends a signal to them that their team is not being held back by the Nets!
Dante gets the basketball, Garnett jumps up quickly to take his pass and scores in the air! 57:53!
Smith carried the ball to the frontcourt, Barnes took the basketball again and quickly passed to Majory, who was directly covered by Garnett! Crabbe hit a three-point shot as soon as he got to the frontcourt! 60:53!
83:74! At the end of the third quarter, the Nets led the opponent by 9 points and entered the fourth quarter!
......
"I don't mean what you say. It's just a game. I decided who was going to play, so it was just a matter of what I did with the players."
Chen obviously knew what the other party meant. So he smiled at the reporters and said.
118:104! It could be a blow to the Mavericks from the Nets! Because in the first half they played really well. Therefore, in the final quarter of the game, there was still a fierce attack on the opposing team that had not had much form.
The Mavericks were eventually forced to play the Nets to the end. The atmosphere between the two teams was not very good at the end. Okay, you tied us with a lot of substitutions in the first half, and you didn't let us go when the fourth quarter went into garbage time.
Chen was also a little helpless about this, because he was the one who assigned the task. It's the players who play on the field. They didn't want to let each other go, and he couldn't help it. Fortunately, there were no conflicts.
Noel had 10 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, and Maxey had 9 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists! Barnes 23 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists! Matthews 17 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists! Seth 24 points and 4 assists!
By the end of the second half, the gap was already evident! Although the opponent fought hard in the second half, the reality gap still made them immediately give up the game and compete with the Nets for who was the final winner.
Mozgov 12 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists! Garnett 18 points, 4 rebounds, 2 blocks and 3 assists! Jonathan 21 points, 3 rebounds and 3 assists! Rose 32 points, 2 rebounds and 6 assists! Burke 20 points, 3 rebounds and 6 assists!
This is a very cool game for the Nets, and unlike the strong teams in front of them, this team is not so good!
After the rest of the second day, the team went into intense training! Next up is the Los Angeles Lakers! The reason why this team doesn't feel so tough by Chen now is because they haven't won much under the onslaught of other teams in the West.
At present, it is only in seventh place in the West, which makes Wharton somewhat embarrassed. Management is still watching the current Lakers game. The current roster is good for the Lakers, but Walton still can't let the Lakers get more wins. Maybe next season is really at risk of being fired.
Although they are now ranked seventh in the West, they still win more and lose less when they play against the East, which is not very strong in the West. Chen didn't plan to have any reservations.
Such a team still has a certain competitiveness in the current league! They don't have a lot of playing time for some of their veterans at the moment, like Kobe Bryant and Nash.
Although Wharton knows that the gap between the two teams in the standings is not small, he still hopes to win this game. Kobe Bryant also approached him before the game, saying that he wanted to get more playing time and that he wanted to compete against the opponent in this game.
For the Black Mamba's respect for himself, Walton knew that he could refuse this game, but under the idea of wanting to win the Nets, he chose to nod and agree to Kobe's plan.
Not only can Kobe get more playing time than usual, but Nash and Thomas Jr. will also have to play the whole game as much as possible. The purpose of this fight is relatively simple, that is, to win the Nets!
The Nets, who won the Mavericks last game, are now excited about the players. They just played against the Cavaliers and Celtics. After competing with them, it doesn't seem to be so difficult to fight against the Lakers.
Today's starters on the Lakers' side are Lopez, Channing, Ingram, Thomas Jr. and Kobe! Wharton found that Channing, who came to the Lakers from the Cavaliers, played a lot better than he did in Cleveland.
Maybe it's a change of environment, maybe it's the Lakers that have received a certain degree of attention that has made his confidence stronger! His three-point ability is still good, and he is also more active on the interior defense!
Thomas Jr. is currently averaging 17.2 points, 1.6 rebounds and 5.9 assists per game! It didn't take long for the Lakers to play superstar performance! At the moment his average playing time is less than 20 minutes!
The starters on the Nets' side are, in order, Mozgov, Garnett, Williamson, Jeremy Lin and Rose!
Fans find out! In today's game, the players of the two teams were relatively similar at the beginning! Center on Lopes and Mozgov in pair! In the No. 4 position, Garnett and Channing are two veterans!
In addition to Williamson's strength, the alignment at back is also interesting. Lin and Thomas Jr. played against each other, and Rose and Kobe Bryant, two guys who were both a little older, competed.
At the beginning of the game, Lopez got the ball and quickly passed the ball to Kobe, who faced this Rose and went directly into the net with three points!! The scene immediately burst into cheers!
Now it seems that Lopez has added some weight to himself on the side of the Lakers, and in such a team, because there are still many strong players, his time and offensive opportunities are less.
However, there are still quite a few people who are optimistic about López. He is seen by some fans as one of the typical players of the super center of this era! If you can play with López as the core, there will still be a lot of hope.
His mid-range shooting movements and accuracy are very similar to Yao Ming's! Lin dribbled the ball across the half, and Thomas Jr. watched him tightly! In the end, Jamilin made a quick pass to Garnett, who made a direct jumper and hit the board into the net!
If the previous game was the one that defined which team could win more Eastern Conference titles this season, then this game was purely for spectacle. There are still not many fans who think the Lakers can win the championship now.
Over the years, the Lakers' performance has been declining year by year. Even though they have this superstar in the roster, and they have a lot of young players who play here and some who have played for the Lakers, they still can't get this team to play as well as they want.
The Lakers, who did not enter the playoffs last season, caused a lot of discussion on the Internet.
Kobe Bryant took the ball to the front court, Ingram received his pass in the bottom corner and hit a three-point shot! 6:2! After receiving Lin's pass, Williamson faced the defense of Ingram and Channing and scored violently, allowing Channing to get the first foul of the game and successfully score 2+1!
Thomas Jr. slowly passed the half, and Kobe Bryant scored three points after getting the basketball on the other side! 9:5! At this time, the scene remembered "MVP! ”
Lin held the ball over the half, and Bryant took the initiative to go over and start to defend him!
"Hey! You can't get past me! Kobe Bryant said to Jeremy Lin!
"It doesn't matter if you can't pass this level!" Lin suddenly accelerated at this time, Kobe Bryant immediately retreated, and after seeing Jamie Lin's next move, he immediately retracted and leaned forward quickly, successfully interfering with Lin's shooting!
After Kobe Bryant saw Lopez get the ball, he immediately took the basketball, turned around Jeremy Lin, went to the front court, jumped directly to the frontcourt, and hit a long-distance three-point board into the basket!! 12:5! Kobe Bryant scored 9 points in the opening game! He's in shape today to win against the Nets!
Everyone seems to have seen the 8th many years ago! Rose quickly got to the front, and Lin took the pass and used Williamson's body to rush straight in! After Kobe Bryant was blocked by Williamson, he still had to go over to defend Jamilin!
After dodging López's arm in the air, Lin managed to score 2 points! 12:7!
The Lakers are gaining momentum today! Thomas Jr. passed the ball to Channing, who missed the throw and Mozgov got a quick rebound and passed to Williamson.
Facing this Ingram, Williamson imitated Kobe's movements, turned around lightly, and immediately rushed over after passing the other party! In the case of no defense, Williamson did not choose to shoot three points, but rushed straight in and scored a tomahawk dunk!! 12:9!
Bryant stood there with his waist crossed for a few seconds before going back. At this time, he was thinking that if there was a player like this in his team, it was estimated that he could fight with the Warriors and Rockets in the West! But they didn't. There is no such outstanding physical fitness.
Thomas Jr. dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and used his footwork past Williamson to get past Garnett for a layup after passing Forest. This player has a good foot movement! Seeing that there are not many opportunities, start to let the opponent get a foul right away. 2 Free Throws! 14:9!
Williamson took over the basketball in the front court and saw that there were more people defending him on the Lakers' side, but he still rushed in that direction!
