Chapter 718: A Long Race
The atmosphere at this time was very warm! After the timeout, Chen began to quickly think about how to adjust the team! The 76ers' form is somewhat similar to that of the Clippers. The rankings of the two teams are also relatively close.
It's like the meaning of enemies seeing each other. The Nets didn't win against them in that game that Borg coached. But the 76ers have yet to win against the Nets since Chen's return......
It made that team feel very upset when they saw the Nets!
"Williamson will go up in a moment, the opponent should team your defense is still quite strong. That's when you're going to pass the ball, you know? ”
"Well, I understand. So that they can't find out my intentions."
"yes, that's it. Everybody heard it, too. We're going to have a little bit more of that in the process of attacking. Make it difficult for them to defend! In the process of attacking, you have to deal with the opponent a little more before shooting......"
The first thing that comes to mind is that you can't play a more regular game with the other party. Because the strength of the other party is now very good! Even Chen is a little jealous of their roster!
Three champions in the team! And "Olajuwon II" in full swing! Although Embiid has always been plagued by injuries over the years. But his performance impressed the fans at the scene too much!
He said it was just that he just played 50 percent or just played 60 percent or something. Through his amazing talent and strength, as well as his jump shots and explosions, it can be said that many people believe what he says!
This season's all-obvious Seembid is in the starting lineup! Now he's the top center in the league! Although the road to which he has to go may not be short. But he has already received a lot of media attention! And he's growing fast enough!
"The best striker on the other side is Williamson now! If he comes up, give me a wrap for him! At the same time, I still kept scoring, and I didn't want to make any mistakes in the first quarter......" Although the words of the opposing head coach were a little harsh, everyone still did not disagree.
Philadelphia know that they are bound to take down the team in front of them tonight, and they hope they don't show up in the playoffs!
After returning to the court, the 76ers were a little uncomfortable when they saw Williamson come up.
Jeremy Lin carried the ball to the frontcourt, and after passing the opponent under Redick's defense, Saric immediately came to defend, and Arlenna scored with a quick shot after passing the basket! 11:4!
Iverson took Embiid's ball and slowly went to the frontcourt, and Redick got his ball and jumped quickly to the net with three points! 14:4! Philadelphia's shot was resolute today! And they're not inefficient either!
This made the team feel unprecedented pressure all at once! Russell feigned a quick half-court and then picked up to attract the opposing defender before passing the ball to Williamson. Booker and Saric saw Williamson dunk at the same time!
Williamson, who was already in the air at this point, quickly transferred the ball to Mozgov. The latter hit a 2-point jumper! 14:6! Chen Yinan nodded slightly at this time. It's so light that it's not easy to notice.
The current Brooklyn can only be like this, and the other party's indiscriminate bombardment! Some of their players are also older! There are also younger players in the squad. In this way, there is a certain probability that the opponent's offensive efficiency will not be very high for a certain period of time, or even a little too low.
At this time, if you fight with them for speed, you may immediately enter the other party's full set! They're doing well defensively right now. The consequence of a quick attack is to be quickly pulled into garbage time by the opponent. Maybe it's halfway through the second quarter and you don't have to play anymore. Let's get a new person up.
At that time, thinking of this, Chen also felt his heart beat faster. Then it's just a matter of watching how the Nets' players handle the ball. What the coach arranges may not be able to do well in the current state!
Iverson went to the frontcourt, Booker took his ball and took advantage of his short stature to quickly rush over to the basket to score points! 16:6! Williamson took the basketball and pretended to shoot a three-pointer before passing to Lin, who made the same move, and immediately got up to speed past Redick and Saric to score 1 points after seeing the opponent eat the set
16:8! At this time, the players on the Philadelphia side also felt the change in the way the Nets played after the timeout!
Iverson hit a long-range three-pointer right after halftime! The current 76ers feel like a superteam competing with the Nets! The expressions of the players on both sides have also become less relaxed than before the game. Everyone looked at the score from time to time on the field with tense faces!
Lin slowly went to the frontcourt, Williamson took Jeremy Lin's pass and saw that the opponent was a little out of the way, and quickly rushed in to get points! Embiid didn't dodge being chased for a foul, and Williamson, who was standing at the free throw line, hit the ball! 19:11!
The other party was a little dumbfounded at this time! Brooklyn's style of play is too hard for him to guess! Williamson's current words have made the players who defend him a little bit of a problem! Because his movements began to become less singular, but the ball had already been passed before he expected it!
Right now, the Nets are still trailing by a lot of points. The first quarter of the game has not yet reached 6 minutes, and the opponent has already scored 19 points! The current 76ers have made more adequate preparations before the game!
Their main play tonight will be modeled after the Warriors and Rockets! At the same time, they also have strong and on-court feel strikers to defend and respond!
Embiid took the basketball and bumped into Mozgov when he was on the basket! Mozgov was not in a good mood after getting up! And Embiid covered his face and made a calm and calm state.
At this time, Olajuwon II knew not to be angry!! If you get angry, you won't be punished directly! The referee was also a little nervous at this time. If they fight, will they go up or not?
Mozgov was immediately pulled away by Williamson and Jeremy Lin! The referee came over and called Mozgov for a foul, and Embiid stood on the free throw line, took a few deep breaths, and made 0 of 2 free throws. This performance has eased Mozgov a bit.
Saric grabbed a quick rebound and passed to Booker, who Embiid thought was jumping on his heel. Nearly crushed Booker to ...... Redick took Booker's pass and immediately jumped for a three-point shoot! Allen gets the rebound and passes the ball to Williamson!
Jeremy Lin hit a three-point jumper immediately after receiving the basketball in the frontcourt! 19:14! Saric dribbled past half court and Iverson took his pass and passed it to Redick again. The latter immediately returned a three-pointer!
37:21! Later in the first quarter, the Nets weren't very efficient. Chen also guessed that this was the result. There I was thinking about how to fight next. At present, the planned tactics should not be practical. At least not for the rest of the game.
In these three quarters, the Nets have to slowly wear down the opponent's "extra points".
"Remember, don't think I'm going to win them right away, I'm going to overtake them. It's okay to have such a state and mood. But don't put him too drastic into action. The other party is now trying to see us like this, so good that we can quickly crush us when we are busy! Play every round, both offensively and defensively......"
During the break, Chen's tactical arrangements were slightly less. The main emphasis is on the mentality and the defensive side. At this time, Chen Yinan felt that the current team would easily be defeated by the opponent under such a score.
In the first quarter, it was stretched to a 16-point difference, and no matter which team it is, it will be under pressure.
"There's a little bit more shooting on the outside and here with Embis. It feels like they're pressing up, and there's no need to force the shot. Just pass to Booker or Embiid. We're not in a hurry in terms of style of play now. As long as the point difference is maintained in this quarter, or even the point difference is increased, basically the game is not far from winning......"
Naturally, in the first quarter of the 76ers, their performance was still very morale-boosting! The confidence of the players has increased a lot!
Coming back from the game, the 76ers replaced Iverson with Bayless. On the Nets' side, Garnett and Crabbe came up to play. Redick took the basketball and quickly passed the ball to Booker.
The latter's throw was directly fanned out by Kevin! Williamson took the basketball and went to the front court, and the opponent's speed was fast enough! Crabbe hit a three-point jumper immediately after getting the basket! 37:24!
Although the team's form is not very good. They trailed by 16 points in the first quarter. But in this quarter of the game, many Nets players stood up on the bench to watch the game! At this time, they immediately cheered when they saw Crabbe's three points!
Bayless held the ball across half court and returned a three-pointer before he was ready on the Nets' side! The fans at the scene also cheered! That's right! This is the 76ers who have gone through almost a whole regular season grind!
Philadelphia this season seem to have changed a bit after every game they've been through. From being questioned by many media at the beginning of the season that there was a problem with the coordination to playing more than 50 games, it began to improve! In less than three months, they were outside the 8th place in the East! At most, it was 11th in the East!
And now, the media's evaluation of them has also improved. The chances of making it to the playoffs this season are not small! As long as you win three games quickly in the last few games, you will directly advance to the playoff list!
Jeremy Lin quickly got to the frontcourt, Williamson got the basketball and missed the jump shot, then threw himself and grabbed a rebound and passed to Crabbe! Garnett took his pass and scored 2 points with his back to the single! 40:26!
Saric took Bayless' pass and went to the front court, jumped up in the bottom corner and hit a three-pointer! 43:26! Attentive fans of Philadelphia in today's game should soon notice that their style of play is a little different from previous games, that is, they shoot more three-point shots!
Quite a few players are trying to shoot threes! And it looks like it's working pretty well~ Crabbe passed half time, and Lin didn't have three points after receiving his pass! Garnett immediately got the rebound and threw a high pass to Williamson. The latter quickly jumped three points into the net! 43:29!
At this point, if you want to win, you have to do what the coach says. Don't be distracted too much and put your heart and soul into it. At this time, the Nets seem to be playing the playoffs, and they are also playing with each other as if they are playing the fourth quarter!
Saric took the basketball, Redick came out quickly to get his pass and then the three points were missing! Williamson grabbed a rebound on Embiid's head and immediately passed the ball to Crabbe. The latter immediately rushed across the half-court and passed the ball to Kevin!
A few seconds later, Mozgov received Garnett's pass shortly after halftime and hit a 2-pointer from the line! 43:31! The score or something has become less important to the Nets now!
The other party is too efficient today! And what Brooklyn has to do is to improve their offensive and defensive efficiency! Bayless passed the half slowly, and Booker took his pass and looked at the Nets defenders not far away.
Now Brooklyn has really strengthened a lot on the front line! Embiid scored on a dunk immediately after taking the basketball! 45:31! Jeremy Lin carried the ball to the front court and immediately hit a three-pointer under Bayless's defense!
The Nets bench immediately cheered! Compared to the first quarter of the game, Bayless's words were still relatively easy to attack. After Saric missed a jumper, the Wolves got the basketball and immediately passed the ball to Williamson.
The latter jumped up and hit a three-point shot as soon as he ran over to the side! 45:37! There are still 8 points left in the score difference!
Redick hit a three-point shot after receiving a pass from Bayless! 48:37! Garnett went to the sideline to serve to Lin, and Mozgov took Jeremy Lin's ball and threw it under the basket to be covered by Embis in the air! The ball was a bit controversial, and the Nets players wanted to say it was an interference ball, but in the end it was not heeded by the referees.
After getting to the frontcourt, Booker took the basketball and took advantage of the Nets not coming over in time to defend and quickly dunk and score points! 50:37!
The flame that had just ignited in my heart now felt like the flame was getting smaller again. Williamson is starting to sweat! Saric and Embiid are the two main guards in today's game! In some physical contact, both sides have a physical drain!
Lin quickly got to the frontcourt and immediately used Williamson's body to shoot a 2-point jumper after passing Redick's defense! 50:39! As the game progressed, the pressure on the Nets was mounting.
They are already in the mood to quickly overtake each other. But the performance just now brought them back to where they were just now! After experiencing such a situation, you still have to take every round of the competition with the opponent seriously!
Booker took the basketball and passed the ball to Embiid, who hit a jumper and hit the basket into the basket! 52:39!
Williamson got up past Saric and went inside, nearly bumped into Embiid in the air and passed to Crabbe in the corner! While everyone's attention was on Williamson, Crabbe jumped up quickly and hit a three-point shot! 52:42!
Booker's layup is cut off by Garnett! Lin took Kevin's pass and went to the frontcourt, and Williamson, who had just passed halftime, took Lin's pass!
