Chapter 719: Cleveland's Number One Enemy!

In the final minutes of the second quarter, the 76ers played well. 69:56! The score difference is still relatively large. If Chen is in charge of the opponent, then in the third quarter of the game, it should be a one-shot win over Brooklyn!

Or don't let the players spend too much time on the field. Keep only one or two players in the first half. The other players asked to drag the Nets until the fourth quarter.

However, after the start of the game in the third quarter, Chen was still a little surprised, Saric and Embis did not play! The 76ers' arrangement on this end is Johnson, Richon, Simmons, Fultz, Bayless.

However, it makes more sense to want Bayless to continue playing. But in this case, the imagination space left for the Nets is suddenly a lot bigger!

"I guess you can guess one of the things I'm going to say. Breaking down is a critical task. But on the inside and on the outside, they need to work harder! If you put the two ends together, the effect should be obvious. ”

"Coach, are we still playing the same tactics as in the first half?" Jefferson asked seriously at this time.

"The tactics are on the outside, the same as in the first half, don't have too obvious intentions unless you can make sure he scores ......"

The Nets' lineup on this side is Egyptian Dius, Allen, Jefferson, Rose and Crabbe! Guessed that the other party would let Simmons play. The current two champions of the 76ers are on the floor, and it is estimated that this quarter will not be too easy to play.

And Jefferson's main role may be able to contain Simmons right away! Thus giving the team some chances. His offense is just as exciting!

At the beginning of the third quarter of the game, the fans at the scene seemed to be waiting for Philadelphia to crush the Nets today~ Fultz took the ball to the frontcourt, and Simmons took his pass and shot a three-way shot......

Probably because his hands were a little cold, Simmons stood there and watched quietly for 2 seconds before running back with his head down. Jefferson served to Rose, who slowly passed the half. Crabbe received the pass from the Rose and immediately went to the front court and jumped three points into the net! 69:59!

Brooklyn needs such a three-point so much right now! The more the merrier! Simmons on the current Philadelphia side can occasionally play star results! And Fultz's words are still in the blue-collar stage. Like Simmons, because he is the champion, the team still attaches more importance to him, and he is currently in the stage of cultivation and observation.

Bayless missed the three-point shot after receiving the basketball, and Johnson didn't dunk after getting the rebound! The basketball was dunked and went straight out of bounds. Allen went to the sideline to serve to Crabbe, and Rose took his pass and immediately went to the front court and hit a three-point shot! 69:62!

At this point, the camera was given to Iverson and Embiid...... Neither of them looked at each other or chatted, but was there quietly watching the game. I don't know what they're thinking at the moment. Brown watched quietly as he watched the situation on the field and fell into deep thought.

Simmons took the basketball and quickly went to the frontcourt, jumped up and hit a three-pointer after fooling Jefferson and his teammate Ricjon! 72:62! This kind of scoring shattered some of the Nets' illusions about the opposing team.

I thought I was using this wave of scores to close the score! I didn't expect to be pulled away by Simmons right away! If it starts to feel like Simmons is still the same inconsistent blue-collar forward as before, then something is going to go wrong!

Fortunately, Chen asked Jefferson, who has a relatively calm personality, to come up and play! He can play a certain role in suppressing the opponent's momentum on the defensive end and dunking. The other is that the slam dunks from time to time can increase the morale of your own team! And the main offense in this section relies on Ross and Crabbe!

The interior players are mainly defending the opposition, and Allen's words can also contribute some points. Crabbe took the ball to the front court and passed Fultz and immediately rushed in to throw it to score! 72:64!

After Simmons took over the basketball, he quickly attracted the defense of the two players of the Nets, and Chen immediately thought of it when he saw this! Fultz stood in the bottom corner at this time, and immediately jumped up and hit a three-point shot! 75:64! The call for the scene immediately rose!

Just when Philadelphia was a little excited, Rose quickly received the pass from Deyus of Egypt, and before he could cross the half, he jumped high and returned a long-range three-pointer after hitting the front court! 75:67!

Rose is a really good player! That's what's on the minds of some of the 76ers players right now. The aura he exudes when he is on the court makes the Philadelphia feel a little uncomfortable. Leading the team as a leader!

And the Nets' state after Rose comes on the court will slowly change! Confidence, defense and rebounding have become more violent! Rickon received a pass from Bayless and his jumper was blocked by Allen! Jefferson got the basketball and went to the frontcourt and scored quickly without defense! 75:69!

There's still some panic here in Philadelphia. Now in Brooklyn, if they are not careful, they can close the difference to about 7 points! If you are not careful, it is estimated that you will have to catch up or even overtake! Brown's face also fluctuated as he watched the game.

At the moment, the team feels that it should be Simmons who can hold up the Nets' attack. Everyone still depends on him a little more. Johnson received Fultz's pass and immediately hooked up for 2 points! 77:69!

Rose slowly arrived at the front, and some of the fans began to shout. It seems that they are fans of Rose! Facing the bag of Fultz and Bayless, Rose decisively stepped back and hit a three-point shot! 77:72! Brown saw it and immediately asked for a timeout!

"The main point of attack is also seen on the outside. So there's no need for Jonn and Johnson to defend so hard inside. The defense on the outside should be more ...... to help the defense"

The coach of the 76ers was in a bit of a hurry and assigned tasks there.

"Be more mindful offensively. Pass the ball more and slow down the tempo. It's time to pass the ball inside more. Russell's own offense was a little less. It's still that, and the sudden division is done! If necessary, quickly overtake them......"

Although Brooklyn's state is gradually improving, Chen feels that time is running out for the Nets! What lineup will the opponent use in the fourth quarter? How far can they fight? These are still unknowns.

Back on the court, the Nets replaced Rose with Russell. Bayless hit a three-point shot as soon as he got to the frontcourt! 80:72!

......

The overall atmosphere of the opposing team is a bit weird right now. They felt pretty relaxed after the first half. But now they can't take it easy. 93:88! Russell did a good job of completing the tasks assigned to him in the rest of the time! Got 3 assists!

"At this time, the last quarter is going to be played as a playoffs, understand? Don't give them a chance! Saric has to defend at the No. 3 position more than Simmons to cover the opponent! Embiid's side, you need to pass more balls! If you have a chance to break out on the outside......"

Apparently Brown had already figured out how to deal with the Nets in the third quarter!

"The other side is still very capable. First of all, their external lethality is not small. Inside, Kevin and Mozgov showed me that Embiid didn't want him to score. You heard it right, don't let him score! He attacks and tries to stop him with a block or a foul or something. On the outside, you have to do a good job defensively......"

Chen's attitude at this time made the team feel that the next game must be fierce! And their faith grew up after the third quarter!

When they returned, the sirens sounded over the team! The state of the fans is also activated! It's a playoff atmosphere on the field right now!

The 76ers are Embiid, Saric , Simmons, Redick and Iverson on the court! Booker didn't return to the court. Brown worries that his lack of height might allow the Nets to find a point of attack.

The attacking ability of the players present at the moment is very strong! On the Nets side of the net are Mozgov, Garnett, Williamson, Russell and Jeremy Lin! In the face of a lineup like the 76ers, the Nets still have to work on the operation of the team.

Lin took a pass from Williamson and went to the frontcourt, where Simmons and Redick immediately came to defend. Russell gets the basketball and passes it to Kevin quickly! After the feint shook Embiid away, the wolf king greeted him! After Embiid received a foul, the Wolves hit the basketball and successfully played 2+1! 93:91!

At this point, Embiid began to worry a little! He's got 4 fouls so far! If you have two more times, you will be sent off!

Iverson went to the frontcourt and immediately jumped up and hit a three-point shot under Jeremy Lin's defense! 96:91! The score of the answer still made the team feel quite reassured. As soon as Williamson took the basketball, he saw two opposing players coming to defend him!

To the surprise of the Nets, he did not choose to pass the ball, but went straight to Saric over! Embiid stood there and didn't notice another foul...... Williamson made 2 of 2 free throws! 96:93!

Simmons didn't have three points after receiving Redick's pass! Embiid immediately got the rebound and scored a dunk! 98:93! Russell let Embiid get another foul after halftime!

......

"Of course, who doesn't want to make the playoffs. There's not much to say about this. I'm sure they won't have a problem making the playoffs. Chen quietly answered the reporter's question at this time. is hiding the mood in my heart that has not yet calmed down.

"So what do you think of the Philadelphia 76ers' strength right now? How far can they go in the playoffs? Another reporter picked up the microphone and said to Chen.

"Whether it's taking the Knicks or the Nets this season, when playing against the 76ers, everyone should think of it first. That is, they have a very good lineup! Players in all positions basically have the conditions to challenge for the Eastern Conference Finals. Haha what are you laughing at? ~”

Chen looked at the mysterious smiles of the reporters at this time, and then slowly took a sip of water without hurrying. My lips are drying out.

"No, 'but' I tell you ~ in this game, it can be said that Embiid's early departure helped us. I don't know if that's right or not, but he may have really made a difference in the direction of both teams. ”

After Chen finished laughing, he immediately put away his smile and said to the reporters seriously.

119:117! It's hard to say that Embiid left the game early. Because even so, the 76ers still played the game to the end! There is no intention of stopping at all! Brooklyn went from the excitement of losing a big player to the other side, and suddenly was pulled back by the lead of the other party...... The opponent has been suppressing the opponent's play, but Mozgov's quick score suddenly increased the suspense of the game. In the end, the opponent missed the three-pointer, and the game was over.

In this game, Embiid got 15 points, 14 rebounds and 4 assists! Saric 21 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists! Simmons had 16 points, 6 rebounds and 2 steals, Redick had 23 points and 3 assists, and Iverson had 24 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists!

I don't know why Embiid didn't get a good handle on today's fouls. Maybe it was the heat of the first half. The rest of the players did well.

On the Nets' side, Mozgov had 16 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists! Garnett 10 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists! Williamson 27 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists! Russell had 7 points, 4 rebounds and 10 assists! Jeremy Lin had 12 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, and Rose had 19 points, 2 rebounds and 4 assists!

Brooklyn was desperately wrestling with the opponent throughout the game, trying to get close to the score difference! In the end, there is a chance to overtake! It can be said that in the end, it was a narrow victory!

The players were so excited! Even Chen Yinan is too. But he didn't show it too much! Just let the players have proper entertainment. They were not allowed to go out at night and have fun in their rooms. At the end of this game, the opponent's standings were not affected, and the Nets have risen from 9th to 8th in the East!

The Nets, who had been missing from the media for some time, were back in the sports news headlines! The picture on the page shows Embiid's somewhat lost expression as he left the court with six fouls and the ecstatic expression of the Nets players after the game. In Embiid's media, I have to write about it~

There are still 5 games to play this season! If you lose a lot, there is also a risk of missing out on this season's playoffs! And the next opponent is none other than that! It's the Boston Celtics who are going crazy this season!

At the moment they are in first place in the East! Swap with the Cavaliers in a few days! The Greenshirts have been in the first place for almost two weeks in recent competitions! Hayward now has 16.5 points, 3.9 rebounds and 3.2 assists!

He didn't play much in the team either. Because there are Horford and Irving on the team! At present, the team is cooperating, and the overall state and offensive strategy are performing well! They have also become one of the teams that other teams are less likely to meet in the regular season this season!

For past games, Celtic's goals this season are clear. That's to take the Cavaliers down in the playoffs!! That's what their fans expect to see!

Although the current knight is still very powerful. Although Owen left Cleveland. But when facing the media, LeBron still expressed his desire for Irving to return. He thinks Irving is still a very good defender in the league today!

They have proven it this season as well! The style of the team is tough! Plus Owen's agility and organization, as well as his own excellent offense! Chen wants to let himself think less about these things so that he can go to bed earlier.
