Chapter 560: The Heat Rises Again!
31:23! With a hollow three-point shot from Lin Touzhong, the bench on the sidelines immediately became lively again! If you want to play a good game against each other, then you have to take it seriously with them in the second quarter!
And in the other party's opinion, as long as the score difference with the opponent can be opened up enough now, it is basically an easy game. Cleveland is very relaxing.
James scored a layup after passing the opponent directly in the opposite position with Mike! 33:23! This quarter of the game will not make it too easy for opponents to score here in Brooklyn. Mike and Griffin, two well-developed guys, are basically more effective on the interior defensive end!
LeBron feels okay at this time. But he didn't relax too much and watched the game live. Jeremy Lin made a feint to attract two defenders and passed straight to Mike. When the latter passed, the little emperor directly cut off the ball and immediately threw the ball into Rose's hands.
After Smith got the basketball in the frontcourt, he didn't wait for the Nets to have enough reaction time, and jumped up and hit a three-point shot! 36:23! This goal made the crowd shout in surprise...... Chen's heart also fluttered slightly. But I still didn't pay too much attention to it, and now it's very dangerous if it's the fourth quarter.
Russell's frontcourt offense was directly cut off by Rose! But then he made a mistake and slipped his hand to get the ball out of bounds. Griffin stood on the sidelines and served to Lin. immediately took Jeremy Lin's ball, jumped up directly, stepped on the line, and hit the board for 2 points and put it into the basket! 36:25!
At this time, Chen Du had already thought about it. If the difference in the first half is too wide, there is not much need to fight with the opponent. Just use it as a practice match and play against the other party.
After James' three-pointers swept out of the basket, Griffin got a rebound. After Mike took the basketball, he immediately distributed the ball to Russell next to him after half court. Before Jeremy Lin came back, Russell hit a three-point shot directly! 36:28!
With Smith's layup disrupted by Mozgov, Mike got the basket and made a long pass directly to Lin. To be on the safe side, Jeremy Lin went straight to the basket to score points! 36:30! The opposing coach directly asked for a timeout.
"The team Thomas Jr. and Korver are on. This is still led by Thomas Jr. Remember not to relax too much when attacking, the opponent's defensive intensity has already come up. Love and Thompson switch positions, and you use your height advantage against Griffin when defending him, and don't have too much physical contact with him......"
Lou lay out the task very calmly, as if he had expected it. After the timeout, the opponent replaced LeBron and Rose with Korver and Thomas Jr. In this way, the team completed the lineup change ahead of schedule.
It's also a good time to find. Because after a while, the Nets may let the Cavaliers go through a certain period of adjustment, and there are still variables in this. One can also let the opponent directly overtake the score!
Cleveland has seen a lot of things like this now. Especially in the last two seasons, the team was easily overtaken by the opponent in a not so good situation. Basically, the Cavaliers didn't adjust the team until the end of the regular season......
The Cavaliers are very strong, but sometimes you feel like they're a little scary, and they're going to play about 10 games over the course of the season.
It's still very challenging for the players! If you just choose "surrender", it's only about 10 games. But when you're going to take it seriously, you might get a pretty damn thing.
The team is not running well, the players are not playing well together, and the opposing team is too strong. It feels like it's powerless. For the average team, they can still win 2-6 games.
But when it comes to these games and they are all lost, it is not very comfortable.
When the team returned, they found a very obvious player standing on the field. Suddenly, I thought it was a fan who pretended to be a Cavaliers player on the court~
But after a few seasons of hard work, a small player who came off the bench played an amazing result! He was known as the strongest on the surface of 1.75 meters!!
Due to personal relationships, there are also skilled dribbling skills. Basically, it's very difficult to defend when he wants to attack. And he feels good on the field, playing with a resolute attitude and not being inefficient!
Before Russell could understand what was going on, Korver received a pass from Thomas Jr. and hit a three-point shot! 39:30! The Cavaliers now need people on a pitcher side, and Korver shows up!
This player, the Cavaliers don't ask how skilled he is. But it would be nice to be able to bring stable output to the team with no low efficiency!
The Nets immediately met the opponent's second lineup. Seeing the change in the positions of Thompson and Lefou, Chen should have thought of this a long time ago. Griffin opted for a high toss pass to Mozgov after receiving Lin's pass.
I was still interfered with by Thompson during the jump shot! Love got the rebound and passed the ball to Korver, Thomas Jr. just came back and took the basketball and shot a three-point jump shot into the net!! 42:30!
The Nets, on their side, know that they have just restructured the opponent's first roster ahead of schedule with offensive efficiency. And now this second lineup they have come out is really a bit unbearable for the Brooklyn players.
In the lineup just now, the team basically revolves around James. Ross's role in organizing is still there. But compared to Thomas Jr., today's Rose will focus on offense.
After the next set of lineups came up, the Cavaliers basically went to rest although the little emperor went to rest. But on the field, they are much more efficient in operation! Thomas Jr. is still relatively flexible in his ability to operate.
What excites him is that this team is much more efficient. Although he has just arrived here, he has also experienced a period of running-in. But when the team and him merged with each other, I found that the team consciousness was much stronger!
And it's very comfortable to be in offensive form! Especially if he hopes that LeBron can appear on the same court as him, then the Cavaliers at this time are terrible!
After constantly losing, winning, and changing the lineup, Lu feels that it would be much better to split the team into two lineups at this stage. Sometimes, when Thomas and James Jr. are on the court at the same time in a short period of time, the two of them have a lot of bonus performance!
Lin came to the front court with the ball, and Mike received a pass from Jamilin and immediately dunked to score points! 42:32! He was a little surprised by the ball, and an opponent would have blocked his ball. But it turned out that it didn't.
The current state of the Cavaliers on the defensive end is still a little different from when the little emperor is on the court. The team is more concerned about scoring! The team with Thomas Jr. is also much higher in terms of overall fluency.
Thomas Jr.'s three-point shot didn't hit this time! Russell came to the front court and jumped directly into the net with a three-point hollow! 42:35! Maybe it's because he's been lucky in recent games. The scores on the field began to increase gradually.
Russell knew in his heart that his condition had improved immediately after Chen's return. It's something that's amazing to think about sometimes. This coach's on-field thinking may still be quite suitable for him.
Korver jumped up and missed a three-pointer after receiving Smith's pass. Griffin got a rebound and dribbled to the frontcourt, jumping up and shooting a long-range 2-pointer before the opponent came back! 42:37!
At this point, it was already obvious that the offensive efficiency of the Cavaliers was starting to decline. Love missed a shot and Thompson got a rebound. Smith suddenly ran over at this time, caught the ball and completed a dunk in the air! 44:37!
59:55! This section of the game can be said to be very exciting in the later period! It's starting to rain in Brooklyn! Lin and Griffin two crazy shots! But the knight didn't relax too much. In the end, the score difference was fixed at 4 points!
"Maybe we can still win this game~" Welch said with a smile.
"Oops~ I thought it would be 'over' after this section was played. I didn't think about it, but it was just the beginning. Chan watched the players start to come back and walked with the coaching staff in the direction of the dressing room.
The Cavaliers' arrangement in the third quarter was relatively simple. That is to keep Thomas Jr. on the court and wait for James to come back. Now Cleveland doesn't need to say that the little emperor is always on the field.
Their interior may be able to make some adjustments. But it's still very strong. The Nets are going to chase the points quickly in this quarter. It's easier said than done.
Russell and Jeremy Lin will have to wait until this section is over. If the team doesn't have these two people at the moment, it is estimated that they will be defeated by the other side immediately. In order to retain strength for the final quarter, the lineup also needs to be changed to a certain extent.
The lineup on the Cavaliers' side of the game came back in the third quarter with Thompson, Jefferson, Korver, Iman, and Thomas Jr. The Nets are Egyptian Diyous, Zhang Hao, Jonathan, Jeremy Lin and Russell.
This way you don't get too passive for the strikers. There are Russell and Lin, two guards who have some organizational ability. The arena is now more stable and lively from the beginning of the somewhat unstable state!
Because at this time, the suspense of the two teams is rising again! A four-point margin is nothing for the Nets.
Lin came to the front court with the ball. At this time, he felt that although there was a break in the halftime, he still had to save more physical strength at this time. After Jonathan took the basketball, he went straight past Korver to score a layup and let Jefferson get a foul and successfully played 2+1! 59:58!
The scene is boiling at this point! Soon the Nets are going to overtake the Cavaliers! Iman didn't make a timely move after taking the ball from Thomas Jr. He saw that the situation was not good at this time and immediately hit the ground and passed to Korver. The latter immediately jumps the basketball and hits the board directly into the basket! 61:58!
In the shouts of the fans, Lin directly took advantage of the difference in rhythm and Staggered Thomas Jr. to step back and shoot a three-point jumper into the net! 61:61!
"There's still some ability. Let's think of a way...... "Thomas Jr. was not very happy, but he still had to admit that he made a mistake in judgment for a while, allowing the opponent to shoot a three-pointer not far from him!"
When he came to the frontcourt, Thompson immediately saw Thomas Jr.'s movements, received the basketball, turned around and jumped for 2 points, and went into the basket steadily! 63:61! The camera has been given to James many times. It seems that he is not too happy with the current performance of his team.
Lin immediately arrived at the front court and found that Thomas Jr. had lowered his body and was waiting for him! Zhang Hao immediately received Lin's pass, and after using a feint to trick Jefferson up, he was brought to the ground by Jefferson's body as soon as he started running!
At this time, Jefferson didn't seem to be very satisfied with his performance just now. It's not that friendly to Zhang Hao. Unlike James, who protects players on the court from time to time, even if he is an opponent on the court, he immediately tries not to let the opponent get hurt.
After his back fell to the floor, there was some pain of little intensity, and suddenly came. However, Zhang Hao just felt that he didn't have much breath for a moment. He immediately turned around, crawled on the ground, took a few breaths, and got up again.
"I'm fine, I'm fine, I just fell," Zhang Hao said to the other party in somewhat awkward English under the questioning of his teammates.
Hit 0 of 2 free throws when he came to the free throw line. Thomas Jr. jumped directly into the net after reaching the frontcourt! 66:61! James stood up at this point and raised his hands in the air!
Zhang Hao got the basketball back and singled Jefferson 2 points to hit the board and put it into the basket. 66:63!
"Zhang Hao, a player, I personally feel that he is really talented in attack. Defensively, though, it's not very good right now," Welch said to Chen, watching the game at the moment.
"I don't know what he's going to do in the future, but it shouldn't be too bad, I guess. If you don't work hard defensively, you still can't be too good a player. On the offensive end, I feel that there will be a certain period of time when there will be a lot of problems. I feel like he's in a good state now...... Unexpected"
Chen hugged his shoulders and turned his head to Welch. Borg, who was next to him, didn't pay attention to the conversation between the two men...... He only heard the name Zhang Hao. At this time, his mind was more focused on watching the game.
Is it just a coincidence that he has won so many victories in the NCAA? From time to time, this question would run into Borg's mind. After coming to the NBA, although he was appreciated by the team's coach and Welch. But there doesn't seem to be any real situation where you have led the team to win, even one ......
This made him feel quite uncomfortable for a while. In fact, compared to the NCAA, the intensity and complexity of the game in the NBA are much higher! But there are differences in the rules of the game.
In the NCAA in college, you lose one game and it's over. But that's not the case in the NBA. He also consumes the energy and physical strength of the coaches, trainers, and players in the team. But you don't know what the other person's abilities are like.
When each team was formed, the quality of the players was not as strong in comparison to the NBA as a whole. But when they were in college, they were basically team players or star-level players. It's not hard to see why Borg has been a little frustrated. It's not NCAA here....
