Chapter 355: Home Pressure!
There is a sense of oppression at the Jazz's home arena, the Energy Solutions Center, and the steep steps in the stands may be the main reason for this feeling. There is also www.biquge.info easy to feel uncomfortable, which has something to do with the geographical location where the Nets are here now.
I went to Atkinson and talked to him about the tactical arrangements for almost two hours, and we talked about a lot of other things. The continuous non-stop competition is not only exhausting for the players physically and mentally, but also for the coaches. It's stressful, and the two of you and I don't expect it to end until it's time to eat.
Today's players are quite emotional, probably because they haven't won a game away from home to the Jazz in recent years! It took some pressure off the coaches. It is estimated that the battle between the two teams will be fierce tonight.
The Jazz lineup is Goport, Joel, Hayward, Hill and Exum. Joel was one of the few starters today! The starters on this side of the Nets are Lopez, Nicholson, Jonathan, Dinwiddie and Jeremy Lin.
The Nets should be careful of Goport. He is averaging 18.2 points, 12.5 rebounds and 1.1 assists per game so far this season! This player is growing very fast! Tall, long arms, strong athleticism!
Over the years with the Jazz, the team felt that his greatest ability was defense!! As long as the player who is opposite him, the accuracy of shooting will drop a lot! In the Jazz's main lineup formation list, Goport is also among them!
And this season, his aggressive performance and shooting accuracy, coupled with the current offensive efficiency, have also shown the world his talent and ability! Low singles ability and physical fitness training were the main training content of the last holiday!
At the moment, it's not good in passing, where he's prone to mistakes and so on.
There are still a lot of variables in this game, and although the Nets have already started to make some preparations, they are still not too sure that they will be able to win against the Utah Jazz. The Jazz have been hovering between 4th place in the West and 9th place in the West at the end of the regular season.
Their current head coach has served as a Hawks, Clippers and 76ers. For the game, he is basically creating as many wins as possible for the team with limited resources!
It's a war of attrition! The opponent has a decent amount of ability, as well as excellent defense and mostly good on-court adaptability. It was a little smaller in the initial game, but as the game progressed, the tight environment and the special altitude of Salt Lake City made it more and more difficult for the Nets players!
It's game on! After Burris grabbed the basketball, he passed the ball to Hayward's hand, and Hayward, who had not yet had a defender, immediately jumped up and hit a 2-point shot! At present, there are three people who are good on the offensive end of the opponent!
Dinwiddie took Jonathan's ball and immediately came to the frontcourt, facing Hill's defense and going straight over to get past the opponent, but what made Dinwiddie feel pressure was that such a quick move didn't work, and Hill couldn't get rid of it as if he was glued to him!
When he was feigning to force a layup, he was suddenly passed to Jeremy Lin. Basically, without much hesitation, he went straight past Exum's forest basketball, brushed it in the basket and came out again! Burreth got the rebound straight up and passed the ball to Hayward! Hill picked up the ball not far behind and threw a three-pointer! 5:0!
It is estimated that the players present in Brooklyn now have tasted some of the pain that the other party has brought to the Nets. Chen remembers that during the Yao Ming period, the Utah Twin Towers combination was very powerful! And what continues to the present is the other party's unusually calmness!
If they play against the superteams in the current league, they can't see anything, and the huge difference in quality will cover up something. But teams like the Jazz who are higher or weaker than them are not comfortable!
It's often the case that you score a goal and we don't. Or you score, we score. But the blade of the Jazz is revealed!! The efficiency is gradually improving, and there is no scoring output in each round! The Nets are likely to face such a dilemma in today's game.
Basketball came to Jeremy Lin unsurprisingly. Nicholson took the basketball and turned around and shot and was directly covered by Joel! Almost at the same time, Lin suddenly got the ball and scored quickly! 5:2!
Almost identical colors, deafening shouts from the fans at the scene! The feeling of pressure that the live crowd brings to the away team. The picture interfered, and the sound reached the ears of the Nets players in waves. It doesn't feel like you're playing against the Jazz.
There are obviously a lot more people on their side. Hill came to the front court with the ball, and Burreth got the through ball and glanced at Brooke and shot directly on him after making a foul! The indescribable discomfort is more obvious than Jonathan's. 8:2!
It was still Dinwiddie who dribbled the ball across the half, and then Lin immediately took over the basketball. Now, even if they continue to score, the Nets will not rashly select and call a timeout. Jonathan took Jemilin's ball and shot a three-point basketball directly out of bounds! Three do not stick! After shaking his head slightly, he saw that the other party immediately rushed over!
After half the court, he still didn't slow down, and when he turned around and saw Exum's ball passing, he threw the ball directly without pausing for almost 1 second! Hollow three! 11:2! Lin held the ball to the front court, and felt a very good rhythm of the opponent under Hill's defense!
After Lopez got the ball from Jamilin, he directly selected a step-back jumper and hit a 2-point shot!
The other party's restriction effect is still very large! Gopott, who has been eye-catching so far in the opening game, has made Brooke extra careful when choosing to attack! On the outside, Jeremy Lin also felt the pressure on the Brooklyn Nets in the first quarter.
After all, in basketball, it still takes five people to complete the game. So, on the pitch, if you can't stop a star or superstar from performing individually, then blocking the play of other players or doing a good job of defending well can also have a certain chance of winning the game!
I don't want to think about it, if the other party really plays like that, then it won't be very optimistic for the Nets. Hayward, who was holding the ball up front, suddenly passed the ball into Joel's hands. The latter chose to go straight to the basket and score 2 points! 13:4!
You can feel the enthusiasm of the fans at the scene, and even feel that the fans seem to be a little too enthusiastic! There are already more crazy people cheering for their team! From the Nets bench, you can clearly hear the shouting of them not far away! There are voices of all ages!
