Chapter 726: Start Fighting Early!

Unlike the Celtics, the Cavaliers have a lot of experience in the playoffs or the Eastern Conference Finals and finally the Finals. Thomas Jr. and a couple of newcomers to Cleveland have less experience in this area.

The Greenshirts, who are second in the East, are different. Their playoff experience is perhaps not bad. But in the Eastern Conference Finals and the Finals, you need to experience it. To say that Coach Stevens is still very powerful!

Garnett, who is currently on the Nets, still has a number of players who won more championships that year, and after leaving, the Celtics have gone through a considerable period of time to gradually recover! And this season, they began to fight for the Eastern Conference Finals and even higher!

At the end of the regular season, there was a lot of discussion about Stevens online. Some fans believe that the Green Shirts should really fight hard at the end. The main team basically plays a little less time, and it should be nothing.

Then after guaranteeing a win, he will meet the Nets in the playoffs, so that he doesn't have to play against the 76ers, who are still good this season! And some fans don't think so, they feel that if the Celtics enter the playoffs as the first team, the opponents they face in the second round will not be easy to deal with.

If the Bucks win, then the Celtics will face Milwaukee, who have defended well this season. And if it's a Wizard, they may not be completely sure to win each other. And no matter what, another wave of netizens concluded that they will meet the Cavaliers in the end!

"Pass the ball more often. Then we have to do more in terms of sudden points. Mainly increase the shooting ...... on the outside" to this extent, Chen also basically feels that this game is a little hanging. Cleveland has now surpassed 20 points!

And the Nets didn't even score 10 points here! The fans on the field watched it very enjoyable~ Coach Lu didn't mean to relax. In the first game of the playoffs today, the Cavaliers have a very strong lineup to face the Nets!

After a few rounds, Brooklyn started to look a little overwhelmed. And at present, if you want to bring the situation back, you can only make a quick offensive breakthrough!

Cleveland is still calmly arranging the task! Back to the Nets here to put Quincy on the court. The Cavaliers didn't make any substitutions here. Williamson took over the basketball and used Quincy's body to make a quick jumper for three points! Mozgov took over the basketball and made up the dunk! 21:10!

Thomas Jr. took Tristan's serve and got past Russell on his horse, and made a quick pass to James in the front court. On Williamson's LeBron right away, he hit a three-point shot! 24:10!

Crabbe carried the ball to the frontcourt, and Quincy hit a 2-point shot as soon as he got the ball on the other side! 24:12! Looking at the current game, Chen feels like this is the end of the first quarter.

If it was the same in the first half, then basically today's game can only be like this. It is estimated that the opponent's second half will not give the Nets too many chances. The players on their bench are not weak either.

After Wade's three-pointer was missing, Russell immediately got the rebound and dribbled past Thomas Jr. to the frontcourt! But little Thomas chased after him right away! Williamson jumped up and hit a three-point shot after taking the basketball! 24:15!

Wade slowly passed the half, dribbled directly past the opponent under Crabbe's defense, and then rushed in under the cover of James, allowing Mozgov to receive a foul and successfully play 2+1! 27:15!

......

36:19! After the first quarter, the Nets' form began to decline. The players were a little depressed. With a 17-point difference, can such a margin be reversed in the playoffs?

Chen felt that it was also very difficult. And the other side is still the Cavaliers. In the past, they hoped to avoid Cleveland in the playoffs. But this season we came together......

But you can't lose, so let's put it on the bench now. That will have a big impact on the rest of the game. So Chen Yinan didn't say much. Just watching your players go off the pitch and thinking about something.

"Remember what I said? The current Cavaliers have a certain age limit on some players. In other words, there will not be much performance after their highlight performance in the first quarter, congratulations on not being beaten too badly by the other party......"

What the?! Isn't the 17-point difference bad? The players looked at their manager with incredulous eyes. But at this time, such words are quite comforting. Let's think that's what it is. It's better than having to face being pushed quickly by the opponent to finish the game. Chen looked at the players, although he was a little surprised, but he didn't speak, and felt that there was still a play.

"If we play Cleveland in the second and third quarters, maybe we're just about 10 points behind. It's better to tie and then we'll really fight them in the fourth quarter! ”

With experienced teams, in the playoffs, the individual abilities of some players are really limited. They have a process of adaptation. Chen suddenly remembered Dinwiddie, who had been on the team before. The rest of the players have had some problems in the playoffs to varying degrees.

The same goes for Williamson. Facing the Cavaliers, he doesn't seem to have figured out how to play a team like the Celtics.

At this time, Chen suddenly remembered Jefferson! This player is still good! He doesn't score much, though. But it can play a more positive role in the morale of the team. And in this quarter, if your team can't score more than 40 points, it's basically going to go into garbage time.

"If the opponent's Korver is on the court, you have to guard against him and Thomas Jr., and if the opponent comes up with a good player, then you have to take the tactics of shooting more from the outside to play with the opponent. Be sure to slow down when you're not productive......"

Under Chen's quiet expression, the not very good emotions that the players had accumulated in the first quarter gradually disappeared. Indeed, this is just one verse over. And the coach also said before the game that the Cavaliers are not as strong as in previous years.

Irving left for the Celtics, and Thomas Jr. may not have a chance at all if he defends well! Wade and James are both veterans at this time! They are still very good in terms of ability after they come on the field! However, such a good performance has physical limitations.

What Cleveland needs to do more in the playoffs today is the players on the team to cooperate with each other! How to reduce physical strength in cooperation, if it makes it more efficient in cooperation, is a problem they have to think about more.

On the Cavaliers' side, the impression of the Nets is that it is not easy for them to make the playoffs. And it is. In the first two of the final three games, Chen is still preparing to make the playoffs.

At this time, the teams that are ranked very high are in a more relaxed state. The players should rest, and the players should be on the field. Both physically and mentally relaxed to cope with the very intense playoffs that are coming!

Chen Yinan is for this reason, and immediately let the team take a holiday after confirming that he has locked in the playoffs! On the Nets, the players chatted and said that Chen is sometimes a more down-to-earth coach~

If you're too nervous, you won't be able to perform well in the playoffs. In this way, after the break, the players have no complaints, saying that there is not much time to leave. It's about facing the playoffs with all their hearts.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the lineup on the Cavaliers' side was Love, Channing, Crowder, Thomas Jr. and Smith! Sure enough, James went down to recover his strength! Wade also went down, and Thompson defended well!

But such a lineup can also play a good result! Channing's individual shooting, Crowder's performance this season and Thomas Jr.'s presence have allowed the team to maintain a good fighting force!

The lineup on this side of the Nets is Mozgov, Garnett, Jefferson, Rose, and Jeremy Lin! Unlike the first quarter, Williamson was replaced. He doesn't know how much of a role he can make in the playoffs. Looking at his expression, he was somewhat dazed.

Jeremy Lin took Jefferson's serve and slowly went to the frontcourt, rushed in immediately after feinting at Thomas Jr. and saw Crowder come over and pass the ball to Jefferson in the air! The latter immediately took over the basketball and directly deducted points for points! 36:21! The action is imposing!

Williamson had been quietly watching the game. Smith passes the ball to Thomas Jr. The latter made a quick pass to Claude under the Rose's defense. Facing Jefferson, Crowder rushed directly to the basket and was directly capped off by Mozgov!

Lin took the basketball on the other side and quickly went to the frontcourt, and Garnett took his pass and jumped straight up to hit a long-range 2-pointer! 36:23! Jefferson grabbed a rebound after Channing's three-pointer missed.

Rose took his pass and immediately rushed over, and Jeremy Lin took Rose's pass and hit a three-point shot! 36:26! The difference is back to 10 points! Lu directly asked for a timeout! At this time, James's face was indifferent.

"Watch out for the opponent's outside shots! Wait until we have a chance to shoot the basketball! Love and Korver need to pass more balls here...... "Lou couldn't watch the other team get closer. So let Korver go up.

"Maybe the opponent has to focus on the inside attack. So everyone should pay attention to this aspect. The state just now is maintained. Egyptian Dius then came to the pitch.

After he returned to the field this season, the team has not let him leave! Although Garnett is here, there is still a need for a good substitute here for power forwards and centers!

Korver hit a three-point shot immediately after receiving the basketball in the frontcourt! 39:26! Come up and score! Shoot when you catch the ball, shoot and score! After he came to the Cavaliers for a while, his accuracy on the outside shooting was still relatively objective.

Jamie Lin went to the frontcourt, Jefferson took the basketball and turned around Crowder, and suddenly slowed down his movements in the exclamation of the audience, allowing Love to get a foul and go to the free throw line for 2 free throws! 39:28! Jefferson's offense was aggressive.

This makes Cleveland vaguely feel the little threat from the Nets. Jefferson is also a player who is not easy to defend for the Cavaliers. First of all, this player's bounce and power are good!

Secondly, his individual breakthrough ability is good! Consciousness is good, too! So once he decides to break through, it's not easy to defend.

Thomas Jr. received a pass from Crowder and his jumper was blocked by Egypt's Diyous! Rose took the basketball and hit a three-point shot in the frontcourt! 39:31! These rounds of competition have still given the Nets a big boost in confidence.

Love misses layup after asking for the ball under the basket! After Channing won the basketball, his jump shot was still interfered with by Egyptian Deyous! Claude rushed over at this time and deducted points violently! 41:31! This season, when it comes to the playoffs, the test for the Cavaliers is whether a player can step up when such a situation arises!

This is especially true during the finals! As soon as a player is restricted, the opponent has the advantage! And if such a situation is allowed and it has not been possible to respond effectively, then all that awaits them is to watch the victory be taken away by the other side.

Jefferson carried the ball to the front court and made a quick pass to Jeremy Lin under the bag of two Cavaliers. Jemilyn quickly went to Rose and used his body to jump three points into the net! 41:34!

At this time, the camera was given to Williamson, James and the coaches of both sides many times. The expressions of the two days were basically similar. However, LeBron was more still calmly watching the game. And Coach Lu was a little unhappy.

There was no expression of joy on Chen's face. Williamson sat quietly on the bench as if he was thinking about something. Sometimes it looks out of place with the teammates around you.

After Thomas Jr.'s three-pointer was missed, Jefferson got the rebound and passed the ball to the Roses. Jeremy Lin took his pass and went to the front court, where he saw the defender behind him pretend to be a layup and suddenly pass the ball to Egypt's Diyous who rushed back.

At this time, he was still some distance from the basket, but he still jumped up quickly and hit a 2-point shot! 41:36! The previous training is now working! The Nets' intense training continued until the end of the regular season.

However, the players still have some indescribable feelings about the Cavaliers psychologically. After all, this team often sweeps opponents in the playoffs! And the Nets' performance in the regular season is still not small.

But what the Brooklyn players can feel when they play the playoffs is that they are more physically adaptable. This is also the result that Chen wants to see! First of all, we have to get the players through the physical hurdle. As long as there is a fierce confrontation, if the physical fitness is not very good, then either the player's ability immediately declines, or the coach points frequent pauses to make adjustments.

Either way, it's bad for the team. In the Nets' usual training, it is not very comfortable to feel new people coming over, and it is very difficult to achieve 60% of the training in a certain amount of time. Taking charge from the assistant coach is a bit like training the Nuggets for the Nets!
