Chapter 262: Brand New Bull
"To be honest, we didn't expect this to happen. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info quite unexpected. But I guess that's the beauty of basketball. "The launch was quite short. This is what Atkinson said in the last sentence. Both the players and coaches give the Denver Nuggets a good rating.
109:108, at the last moment, Quincy beat the Denver Nuggets to win the game! The Nets did not postpone the eighth place in the East, but rose to seventh place in the East! This also means that the Nets will avoid Cleveland and directly compete with the Chicago Bulls in the first round of the playoffs!
In this game, Jefferson scored 12 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists, and Daniels had 24 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists! Dinwiddie had 33 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals! The score set a new record for his highest single-game score!
Later, I learned that the Nuggets and Grizzlies in the West lost the game at the same time, so the Denver Nuggets also advanced. This is good news for them. If it weren't for the Nets in this game, because some of the players played extraordinarily because they were relatively relaxed, it would probably not be easy to win them!
The more pertinent evaluation of the Nuggets in the whole game is that it is relatively tight. Didn't play at the level they should. This Brooklyn has a deep understanding. There are two kinds of performance in a more nervous state, one is because of nervousness and finally plays higher than expected. The other is that the ball cannot be scored by frequent mistakes, and finally the game is lost.
Both of these situations the Nets experienced in later games.
Two days later, the Bulls' first game will be ushered in! In order to be able to familiarize himself with the team's environment, Atkinson traveled with the team to Chicago, the third largest city in the United States after New York and Los Angeles in terms of population, the day after the game!
Coming to the United Center arena, the players only had to rest in the hotel for 2 hours before being called over for training! There are no holidays, and neither are the assistant coaches. Accompany the players throughout the training session! It can be seen how much the coach attaches importance to the game the day after tomorrow!
Chan saw that many of the players had gotten a few new pairs of sneakers! Unlike the regular season, the playoffs are much more intense! Although now there are fewer fights and fewer body movements. But scratches are inevitable!
Not only sneakers. The probability of injury to players will also increase. It can be said that the current Chicago Bulls are stronger in cooperation than last season! The main players Butler, Wade and Rondo also play an important role in the team!
The Bulls' decision to let Dinwiddie go may have been made to bolster the team's roster. But for the Nets, it's a pick~
Although it is not the Cavaliers but the Bulls now, this is the Eastern Conference championship last season. So the Nets still have to treat it well. Everyone trains hard! At the same time, it can be seen that it is more relaxed in the chat.
Brooklyn has won against the Bulls a few times. Although I haven't said it explicitly now, everyone probably knows it! That is to win the Bulls and advance to the second round!
"Well, now tell me about your response to the bulls. I didn't even tell you to give it to me right away. Dictate it. Atkinson fell silent after speaking.
"Coach, what do you think of Dinwiddie?" Chen said quietly to the coach.
"To put it more bluntly, this young man is a player who plays with his head. He knows what he has to do on the pitch to help the team. What, he came to start? ”
"Yes, but that's not the point. Dinwiddie, then Buddinger, then Jeremy Lin! Three sets of guards take turns bombing the Bulls' perimeter. It is estimated that it can cause them a lot of damage! Chen said briefly.
"Are you sure? Our lineup of defenders has changed, so have you thought about the players in other positions? 'Obviously the manager has doubts.
"I've thought about that. Different combinations of defenders, let's match them with teammates. I know even if that's the case, there will be a change in the pace of attack. These players will feel it. But will the current Bulls still allow us to win them so easily? I don't think so. ”
......
Tonight is the first game of the playoffs. The scene can be described as full! To the excitement of the coaches and players in Brooklyn, a considerable number of fans came to help!
Today's starting lineup for the Bulls is Robin, Mirotic, Butler, Wade and Rondo. On this end of the Nets, Lopez, Nicholson, Jefferson, Dinwiddie, Teague!
Nicholson and Jefferson are mainly defensive players, and if they score, it is estimated that Brooklyn will be beaten to garbage time faster. Dinwiddie plays point guard, and the main scoring points are focused on Brook and Teague!
Teague will face Peter Pan's attack! And Robin, although he is a defensive blue-collar center, is still a cut short in the face of his twin brother. This is like the relationship between a spear and a shield, the elder brother used to mainly play offense, and the younger brother defensive. And now his brother Lopes has grown into a star center player in the league!
Brooke gets the ball in the scramble and passes it to Dinwiddie. The Chicago outcast now plays the starting position for the Nets today. It's hard to say how far a player will end up in the NBA.
Whiteside, who played in the CBA not long after he entered the league, has now become a star player in the NBA. The Nets are a real place to breed players right now.
You may not be selected or abandoned by a championship contender, and the traditional powerhouses don't want you, but other teams still have a chance to develop. It's better to play there than to go to the Development League. The more exposure you have, maybe a lot of people will spot you right away.
In the face of Rondo's defense, Dinwiddie faked and shook off the opponent directly, and then suddenly hit the ground and passed to López! The latter succeeded in beating his brother Robin López with his back! Wade was in the front court, after Rondo's pass, he suddenly took the first step to get up and passed Teague directly, and then rushed into the inside line of the Nets and brushed it with Nicholson, and then played 2+1!
Wade's shooting is not very accurate, but he can rely on his individual breakthrough skills to complete the offense! The starting speed of the first step is basically not too many people in the NBA can guard against it! Teague was accidentally thrown directly behind him!
The Bulls in the playoffs are the first time they have met Brooklyn! After many years, Wade led the Chicago Bulls and Cavaliers to meet and finally eliminated them! This "revenge" for leaving Miami has finally been avenged!
Who can beat the Warriors now? Maybe Cleveland is a little more likely. So after the Bulls won the Cavaliers last season, they were directly wiped out by the Warriors in the Finals without much effort!
It's not that the bulls aren't strong. It's a team like the Warriors, and any team in the league is basically defeated by the Warriors' sometimes perverted accuracy! Once the three-point rain starts and you don't know when you will be able to stop, this may be a nightmare for the other party.
Jefferson took Dinwiddie's pass and threw it high to Lopez. Nicholson takes Brooke's ball and dunks to score! At the scene, I just feel that the current bull is a little different. Rondo dribbled to the front court and hit a three-point shot directly under Dinwiddie's defense!
