Chapter 502: Night in Cleveland
I didn't expect the other party to chase points very quickly! Seeing his players walking back, Chen didn't think about how to deal with it in his mind at this time!
"Lin, you can play. The opponent did a good job on the defensive end. Therefore, we must be careful not to let the opponent find an opportunity to break the ball, which must be controlled! Still playing fast attack! In such a situation, as long as it lasts for a certain period of time, it will decline. So hold on......"
It seems that the Nets' roster is not enough to deal with them in Milwaukee right now! Then you can only correspond to the rhythm with them. Chen asked Lin to play. He and Russell are playmaker roles interchangeable.
Griffin hit a 2-point shot from the back immediately after Lin's ball! 43:36! Antetokounmpo went to the sideline to serve Malcolm, and the current Bucks are very eager to fight! They're putting pressure on the Nets until they overtake their opponents! It can be said that the Bucks have become stronger and stronger in the continuous run-in of the team in recent years.
But they still have a certain gap with the Wizards and the Celtics, and the Raptors. But that doesn't stop them from playing against Brooklyn! They have the impression that the Nets are still a team that hovers around 8th and 9th place. And they have personnel changes and new commanders who have just taken office.
Thinking like this directly led to them being "humiliated" by the Nets in the first quarter! Naturally, they responded violently, and Brooklyn didn't believe they would be beaten by the Nets! This also makes the intensity of the competition start to escalate! It can also explain why the Nets suddenly seem a little "smart".
Chen could only extend the team's short-term goals in this case. The task was also postponed to the fourth quarter. Now, the two sides have entered the critical point of time in the battle for the final victory. I knew they would fight, but I didn't expect to fight like this!
Jabari forced a layup as soon as he got the basketball, causing Jonathan's foul and successfully playing 2+1! 43:39! Russell immediately passed the ball to Jeremy Lin, who was nearby, under Malcolm's defense. Before Malcolm next to him and Chris on the other side made a move, they had already accelerated and rushed over!
Parker, who saw it, came to defend at this time, and Lin immediately hit the ground and passed the ball to Jonathan's hands! The ball that just arrived was directly copied by Brother Alphabet and started quickly! When the basketball was about to pass to Malcolm, Russell cut the ball directly in the air and shook off Chris before coming to the frontcourt, Griffin took the basketball and immediately threw it high to Deyus of Egypt!
After being interfered with by Greg, I saw a person suddenly burst out, took the basketball, and faced Greg with a direct tomahawk dunk to score! The force was so great that Greg was knocked out of the arena directly, fell to the ground, and rubbed out more than two meters away!
You don't have to look to know it's a griffin! 45:39! It's a big test for the Nets. For the players on the field, in the face of this kind of intensity, if you keep falling behind, I am afraid to be more negative. Fortunately, Griffin showed up in time for the Nets to score points in this round!
Chris went to the frontcourt, wrestled with Russell a few times, and then immediately passed the ball to Antetokounmpo, who missed the jumper! Egyptian Dius got a rebound and gave it directly to Griffin next to him!
After seeing Lin's figure, he immediately passed it over! Jamilin took the basketball and went straight to the front court to hit a three-point shot! 48:39! Malcolm came to the front court with the ball, and after three points, Greg successfully added the ball!
The difference is 9 points. As long as the Nets lead the opponent by about 10 points in this quarter of the game, they may beat the opponent in the next game! Naturally, the third quarter is also a more dangerous stage, but the current Bucks are fighting with the Nets at a high level of physical consumption!
Griffin saw that the interior defense was too fierce and immediately ran out and turned around for a jumper, but he never thought it would be a 2-point jumper. 50:41!
Finally, the final score of the second quarter was 65:53! The third quarter is 89:79! The match ended with 118:103! In the final five minutes, the Bucks began to come on the bench. It can be said that the victory of today's game is due to the fact that the opponent did not grasp the rhythm well in the first quarter and did not seize the opportunity when it appeared in the second quarter.
Halfway through the third quarter, there was a noticeable drop in fitness. If you want to have a high-quality defense, you have to step up your efforts against the Nets. As a result, at the end of the third quarter, after replacing some of the main players, the Nets immediately occupied a certain advantage until the end of the game!
"May I ask Coach Chen, did you know that you were going to win against the Bucks today before the game?"
"No, we didn't buy the referee again," after Chen finished speaking, even the reporter who asked the question laughed~
"Coach you have a lot of humor, but my next question is this"
"You say," Chen's face was very relaxed, and the fatigue caused by the first half of the game felt as if it had been offset by the smooth second half.
"So let me say this~ Have you changed the Bucks by an overwhelming advantage in terms of strength without buying off the referee?"
"No, if one of the players like Jabari, Greg, Antetokounmpo can come to the Nets, they can reconsider this issue. Haha~ These players are all very good, I admire them. ”
Bucks got 10 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists today, and Jabari got 27 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists! Antetokounmpo 19 points, 10 rebounds and 7 assists! Chris had 12 points, 3 rebounds and 4 assists, and Malcolm had 15 points, 4 rebounds and 7 assists!
The Nets' Mozgov had 16 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists, Egypt's Dejus had 6 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists, Jonathan had 17 points, 2 rebounds and 2 assists, Teague had 30 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists, Jeremy Lin had 18 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, and Russell had 11 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists!
It can be said that basically the Nets' performance is relatively average. Today, Teague's score managed to reach a game-high 30 points! For example, after beating the Bucks, the Nets also moved up to the current third place in the East!
In the next game, they will face the Cavaliers, who are currently ranked first!! I looked at the itinerary, and it said that it would start the day after tomorrow.
"We will agree to give a holiday schedule after the week. So right next night we're going to fly to Cleveland. And after getting off the plane, I'll give you a 10-hour rest and then train at the Quickloan Arena! ”
After chatting with the players for a while, Chen stood up and said what everyone was going to do next, and then left the locker room. It should be there before dawn. Regardless of the result, today's game gave the team a lot of confidence!
At present, the competition in the East is more fierce, and it belongs to the Cavaliers and the Green Shirts! These two teams are close to winning games! After watching the recent Cavaliers games, Chen feels that it is still very difficult to win them! It's not quite the same as the Celtics.
