Chapter 620: A First Look at the Rhythm!

The question of what the current Nets and players who have gone to other teams think is actually quite boring in Chen. He wants to come back to Brooklyn, but like a player, sometimes these things don't have an option.

The intense game continues, and the Knicks have a day off here. When I came to the training hall, Chen still didn't see too many players coming to train. Only Porzingis, Jack, N'Golo Kante, Hardaway Jr., Dotson and Cornet.

It feels empty inside. Unlike the Nets, Chen Yinan chose to stand in the corner and watch the players train. He's not sure if he'll get a cold pitch again, and it seems that the New York players don't welcome him very well.

And now I feel that it is better to give this team some space. After all, it's my first time with the New York Knicks. There may still be misunderstandings and misinterpretations in many places.

Media interpretations of the first regular-season game varied, with mixed reviews. It's common to say that the New York team is now starting to finish at the bottom of the season.

"Coach Chen Yinan, I guess that the Knicks management is a little uncertain about how far he can take the team, right?"

"When the Knicks lost to the Timberwolves without any suspense, I just want to say, maybe you guys are wrong, the team itself is not very good"

"Their next opponent is Chen's former club, the Brooklyn Nets, so how will he 'get revenge' on the Nets?"

It's no wonder that the media don't have a very good impression of the Knicks. They have struggled like that for several seasons without any decent results!

The Nets also lost one game, and their last game was against the Phoenix Suns. In that game, Mozgov had 16 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists! Jefferson had 7 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, and Jonathan had 27 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists! Crabbe had 19 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, and Jeremy Lin had 9 points, 2 rebounds and 7 assists!

Jonathan played very well, and at the same time, Jefferson also felt that he had improved a lot in the video! The Nets can still consider taking more offense to block them and score more points at this point in terms of center this season!

The more difficult thing is Jeremy Lin's organization! If he is properly linked, then the Nets will still be relatively difficult to defend! Russell and Lin can also create a certain amount of damage on the outside!

What Chen has to do is to adjust the state of the team. However, he saw that the players didn't seem to want to win in the game against the Timberwolves. Porzingis and Hardaway Jr. have a strong desire to attack.

"Well, in this match, we don't have a big threat against Griffin. However, we still have to pay attention to the opponent's offensive and defensive transitions and the defense and play of some role players. ”

"Chen, I feel like the Nets are still quite strong. Last season they made it to the Eastern Conference finals! And we didn't even make the playoffs......" said some players casually.

"Don't you look at who their head coach was at the time?" Chen asked the player softly.

"Who is it? It can't be you, right? Haha," Chen looked at the young player with a black line on his face after hearing this. It's really revealing that I don't pay attention to the game. The players around him immediately burst into laughter. It took a brief exchange before the player felt that he shouldn't have revealed his ignorance in this way.

"What about you? We're going to be the Nets? We've got Griffin? Can we get Jeremy Lin to come over and have another outburst? Joke~" Li's disapproving words made the somewhat pleasant atmosphere on the scene suddenly ossify.

“...... Isn't it time to talk about what to eat at night and what is your entertainment? ~"Chen wanted to draw everyone's attention to the game that was about to start. Outcome......

"Coach, you're right! We have a lot of famous steaks and all kinds of specialties here, and I ...... them," the other player felt like a bird and immediately pulled his head back......

At this time, Chen felt angry and weak......

"Okay, okay, anyway, don't be too relaxed with the Nets like this, they belong to the same region as you, but the last few years have been good. We have no shortage of good players in the squad......"

It's still the home field, and the audience is obviously warmer than the last time! And I feel like a lot of people are here tonight! There were even signs with Jeremy Lin on them! The screen above also shows a video clip of Jeremy Lin's fame here many years ago!

The players sent by the Knicks in this game are Kanter, Porzingis, Beasley, Ramon, and Hardaway Jr. Here in the Nets, Mozgov, Egyptian Diyous, Jonathan, Jeremy Lin and Crabbe!

Chen is not very confident about Li in the team, and he is now digging a hole for himself. Chen has been putting up with him, not only disrespecting himself but also taking the team's rhythm away. And what is more exciting at the moment is that a new leadership team is gradually forming!

After a brief conversation with Porzingis for less than 15 minutes, it became clear that he had not been affected much by the change of manager. His goal is also clear and relatively simple, that is, to prove himself through his own efforts, and he also hopes to help the team get more good results.

There is basically nothing wrong with this mentality. And his potential is basically not in the same rank as the players in the team!! It can be said that New York has picked up a treasure, but they don't know how to magnify his ability as much as possible, and then magnify it!

As the game began, Kante immediately picked up the basketball and passed the ball to Porzingis, who unexpectedly missed the shot under the defense of Egyptian Diyus! Mozgov got the rebound and passed to Lin.

After a slow ride to the frontcourt, Crabbe immediately got the basket and jumped high to hit a three-point shot! This season's Nets got off to a good start under the leadership of new coach Borg! His popularity is soaring, too! This is an era when there are fewer beast centers, this is an era when three-point points are valued, and this is also an era when many team coaches are younger!

As long as you have excellent brain power, preferably someone with good experience, there is still some room to compete for the position of coach. Although it is not particularly widespread in the league as a whole, there have been more changes and new managers in the news in recent years than in the past.

Some teams linger on the outside and can only play the regular season, some teams lead directly to championships, and some teams make their teams stronger and become playoff regulars. Either way it makes the NBA look more exciting today, and it also makes the team more uncertain about the fate of their team.

Ramon received Kante's serve and quickly went to the frontcourt, and Hardaway Jr. immediately got his ball and forced a shot in front of Crabbe and was directly interfered with by the opponent! The ball was handled in a hurry, but fortunately, Beasley didn't choose to pass more after receiving the ball, but jumped up quickly and missed the shot!

Jonathan got the ball and immediately passed it to Lin's hands, and Jeremy Lin immediately hit a three-pointer when there were no players defending in the front court! After the goal was scored, there was a lot of cheers at the scene......

And Chen's mood at this time was just the opposite of this cheer. Porzingis took Ramon's pass and hit a 2-point shot under the bag of Egypt's Dius and Jonathan! 6:2!

It's still Boshen, who immediately bursts to relieve pressure on the team when the team doesn't score. He himself doesn't have the state of mind Anthony had back then. And the management of the team, the coach and the coach have nothing to say about his performance.

Jamilin took the basketball, used his footwork to get past the opponent in a retreat confrontation with Hardaway Jr., feigned offense, attracted the defense, and immediately passed the ball to Mozgov. The ball was passed beautifully, and Mozgov didn't even think about it, and ran towards Lin after a violent dunk! 8:2!

Chen's side was about to take a timeout.

"Jack is ready, it's still the same way he played in the last game. The other players act as the team's firepower to attack the opponent. Jack, you're here to organize. When defending, try to give me one defense, the defensive strength should go up, and the defensive range should not be too large......"

Obviously, the Knicks' player cooperation, awareness and tacit understanding are not as good as those of the Nets. The other side seized this opportunity to launch a fierce attack on this place in New York! It's fair to say that Borg's takeover of Brooklyn is an easy one for him.

This season, the new players are also relatively strong. The atmosphere of the team is also good, and the rhythm and coordination honed on the field over the years have reached a certain value. There aren't too many tacit understandings like this, and the rhythm is not bad for the players.

But if the players are good and there is a lot of cooperation, then this team should obviously be a strong team in the league!

In the quick half, in the confrontation with Jeremy Lin, Jack used his experience to block Lin's defense and immediately made the same strategy as Lin, attracting the defense of Jonathan and Lin and passing the ball to Beasley, who immediately jumped up and hit a 2-point shot! 8:4!

As soon as Jack came up, Knicks seemed to have changed. The other players also have some bottom in their hearts. At the moment, some young players have not found players who can control the rhythm of the team.

Noah's return will take some time. So in such a situation, if the Knicks have to be more careful in some details, maybe the record is not too bad after a certain period of play.

Egyptian Diyus took the basketball, Jonathan immediately passed by and got the basketball by the way, immediately turned around and slowed down a bit, then got up and hit a three-point hollow shot! 11:4! For the Nets this season, the players' playing time and their stats may change to some extent.

So far, Jonathan's performance is very good! His performance on the field after the regular season has been somewhat different from the preseason. He didn't play a lot in pre-season either.

However, this season, because he has been with the Nets long enough and he continues to increase his skills, the team has also given him enough trust in terms of appearance. For the Nets, a team that has adjusted a lot every season, as long as they have a good average output per game in terms of data in one season, then they will have a certain guarantee to continue playing in the next season.

The opponent caused a lot of pressure on the Knicks after the opening! However, this is not visible on Jack's face, his calmness, selflessness and big heart are what Chen likes and appreciates.

At the moment, it is Porzingis who can play as a leader in New York, and it is Jack who can play with the demeanor of a captain. Porzingis got Hardaway Jr.'s pass and didn't choose to shoot in the face of the Nets' defense!

Kante immediately saw the direction of the basketball and jumped high to dunk the ball in! 11:6! There's still not much to say about N'Golo Kante as a player. His individual offensive desire is not low, and he does a good job of protecting rebounds.

In the entire league, Kante's offense is ranked relatively high. After coming to New York, the team has a lot of expectations for his individual ability. At the same time, he soon became the team's first center! N'Golo Kante is young, has power, has confrontation and is okay with shooting and handling the ball.

Crabbe slowly passed the half, Jeremy Lin took the basketball and bounced out of the basket from a long distance, and Egyptian Dius immediately got the rebound and quickly passed the ball to Jonathan, who didn't have a three-pointer. Porzingis got the basketball and immediately dribbled a few times before seeing Lin come over and pass directly to Kante.

Jack scores a layup after taking the basketball in a quick move! 11:8! At this time, Borg gradually realized who the coach he was facing was from the relaxation he had just relaxed.

Kante grabbed a rebound immediately after Mozgov accidentally missed the ball. Beasley didn't look at his teammates after taking the basketball, and he shot a three-pointer directly after halftime, and the basketball was out of bounds...... The Nets, who were on the floor, immediately breathed a sigh of relief......

Jonathan got the basketball and easily used his speed in front of Beasley to get past the opponent and go to the basket to score points! 13:8!

With Hardaway Jr.'s three points, Lin immediately grabbed a rebound and quickly came to the front court with the ball, Egyptian Deyous jumped up without thinking about it, and at the same time the basketball has been thrown in the air by Lin, after taking the basketball, Egyptian Deyous directly hit a wonderful goal that he later knew was in the top ten of the week! 15:8!

This kind of game process made the Knicks fans at the scene feel mixed feelings...... The players in New York have changed a bit, but their style doesn't seem to change much. They can't say anything about the style, but it just feels like they're still some way from winning.

Chen Yinan stood there quietly. He can't think too much about it because it's the result of the players themselves spelling it out on the pitch. The game is not very long, but it is not short either. The second quarter also had to be arranged, but there were only a few timeouts.

Jeremy Lin obviously defended Jack with a high intensity, and over the course of a few rounds, Lin also felt his importance in the team! However, for the two point guards, Jack still has a little more experience.

After a misalignment in the rhythm, Jack, who felt he couldn't continue to hold the ball, made a decisive pass to Hardaway Jr. Porzingis immediately ran out at this time, got the basketball when Egyptian Diyus didn't feel it in time, and immediately jumped three-pointers into the net! 15:11!

The audience immediately cheered! Fans feel like they're watching the game now, except for some of the ones who support the away team, hoping to see Boshen play! This guy's style of play is sometimes very comfortable.

With Crabbe's shot missing, Mozgov jumped up and dunked the ball in! 15:13!

......

"Nelikina, what I ask you in this section is simple, organize the team. Constant running creates opportunities for teammates. Jack, what you're going to do in the next quarter is score. O'Quinn shoots when he has the opportunity, and Kante is still based on fast scoring! ”

28:27! The Knicks temporarily led the Nets by one point at the end. This state also makes Chen's style of play more open.

The New York lineup for this quarter is N'Golo Kante, O'Quinn, Beasley, Jack and Ntilikina. The Nets' are Allen, Willy, Jefferson, Russell, and Crabbe.

Although there are many young players in the Nets' lineup, this is the rhythm of Borg's main force to the third quarter. Chen even remembers the month he told him about such a tactical play.

But now, in the interview, Borg's rhetoric is that other coaches don't have time to care about him. It was his own ability that led to the promotion of the management to the position of interim manager of the team.

Jefferson played at a good level both in the preseason and against the Suns for the first time in the regular season! His physical ability, plus his defensive and on-court awareness, has improved a lot!

Russell came to the front court slowly, and Willy immediately got the basketball and scored 2 points on a layup in front of O'Quinn! 29:28!

For his current team, Chen also has to make plans in advance. That is to let the players come up in advance and try to hold each other back! But when Borg thinks like him, the effect is somewhat diminished.

Ntilikina is a player who has a lot of room for development in the future. However, although he is showing good physical fitness on the court now, he is still a little jerky when handling the ball. No one doubts that he is a good seedling.

But now Chen wants to teach him some tasks in a targeted manner. The aim is to be able to complete these relatively simple tasks, and if he has some other stats on top of this, then this kind of achievement will make him even more eye-catching this season.

Ntilikina slowly made his way up front. He didn't attack right away, but was looking for players to see who would be his target. Beasley's fast movement immediately caught his attention! But at the moment when he was about to shoot, Russell immediately broke the ball!

After the basketball bounced on the floor a few times, Russell felt as if he was breaking the ball and dribbling with Beverley, and there was still a certain gap in the series of actions such as layups......

Nitilikina, who reacted quickly and turned to pick up the basketball again, immediately accelerated by Russell's side! His action startled Jack not far away! Obviously, the opponent's almost successful break just now directly angered Ntilikina!

"How can such a mistake occur?!" Ntilikina thought about quickly holding the ball to the basket and throwing the ball in next to Willy and Allen! 30:29!

Allen immediately went to the frontcourt, Jefferson took the basketball and dribbled to the frontcourt, and Crabbe immediately got the basketball and then didn't have three points! Nelikina gets a rebound straight and makes a long pass to Jack! O'Quinn received Jack's pass and directly deducted points for points! 32:29!

Chen immediately nodded slightly. This kind of play is somewhat interesting. If the Knicks can maintain this kind of cooperation here, the overall strength of the team may be able to rise to new heights.

Russell quickly passed half-court and forced a layup after ignoring Crabbe's request to see that the opportunity was no longer there. Jefferson jumped high in front of O'Quinn and dunked the ball in with the exclamations of the fans! 32:31!

Jack observed the movement on the other side of Ntilikina. Beasley's sudden fall caused him to change direction immediately! Jack immediately ran two steps in the direction of the basketball, took the basketball, and immediately took a big step back after a sudden dash feint tricked Russell away, and jumped high!
