Chapter 385 [This Power is Iron!] This power is steel! 】
Jordan made up for the popularity lost in the first two rounds, scored two triple-doubles in a row, played 32 minutes in the game, shot 5-of-12, made 1-of-2 three-pointers, and made 4-of-4 free throws, scoring 15 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Five Wizards scored in double figures, Hamilton had 24 points and five assists, and Stoudamire had 30 points and six rebounds.
At the press conference, Byron Scott attributed the loss to the team's overall defensive disadvantage, and was not stupid enough to publicly tear up B in front of the media and Kidd.
This Kidd played the block and dismantle according to his requirements, and five people scored double-doubles and put the ball in motion, but the offensive ability of the Nets players was not top-notch, and the individual scoring lacked consistency.
Scott thought that as long as he took the same route as the Wizards, the Nets would definitely win, just like in the regular season.
Now he has found that the Wizards are different from the regular season, running more aggressively, working more tacitly, and having two stars who can provide consistent firepower. The two sides fought to attack, and the Wizards overwhelmed the Nets.
Although Stoudamire is a rookie, his offensive ability is already better than Martin's. During the season, many fans were dissatisfied with his selection for the All-Star Game, and now they are all convinced, and more and more people like him.
After this game, Xiao Si played an average of 36.8 minutes per game in the playoffs, scoring 20.6 points, 8.1 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.2 steals and 1.6 blocks, shooting 47.5% from the field.
Hamilton's stats also rose, averaging 20.4 points, 3.7 rebounds, 4 assists and 0.8 steals in 37.3 minutes per game, while shooting 44.8 percent from the field, 35 percent from three-point range and 90.6 percent from the free throw line.
The rest of the position is similar, and the only advantage on the offensive end of the game for the Nets is Kidd, who is just better than David Wesley in stats and slightly inferior in shooting percentage.
Wesley shot steadily from the field in the playoffs, averaging 2.3 of 5.7 three-point attempts per game for a 41.2 percent shooting percentage. He averaged 12.8 points in 24 minutes per game, almost all of which were catch-and-shoot. He still holds a magical statistic of shooting 16 of 16 from the free-throw line and all of them in the playoffs with a 100 percent shooting percentage.
The Wizards' performance has garnered media attention around the world, and the number of people hoping for the Wizards to reach the finals has increased. If the Wizards end up winning the championship, Jordan will retire perfectly and leave a lasting legacy in the NBA.
Yang Rui also has a large number of fans, and many people think that he is already a legend, and his achievements at this age are unbelievable.
"Jerry Young is a once-in-a-century talent in the NBA, and if he continues, he is likely to achieve something unmatched in the field of coaching, surpassing Cardinal Auerbach. The key to the Celtics' eight-game winning streak is the All-Star roster, which crushes seven other teams in a league that lacks competition. And before Jerry Young arrived at the Raptors and Wizards, these were just two bottom-of-the-table teams. ”
"When he was with the Raptors, Jerry Young failed to build a dynasty, I don't know if he can lead the Wizards to do this, he won the championship in the first year of his five-year contract, and the Wizards must be strong in the future, but it's a pity that Jordan can only be a spectator next year."
"I'm the only one who thinks the Nets have a lot of talent? The two teams swapped coaches, and the Nets could sweep the Wizards. ”
Scott is afraid to watch the news now, and he also won the best coach award last season, but fans feel that he can't compare to Yang Rui at all. Basketball experts commented on the tactics of both teams, and even unanimously disparaged Scott.
There is no harm if there is no contrast, Scott called a timeout, and the lineup is not very well matched. The first two games of the Wizards' offensive high-C were just after the Nets called a timeout, which is really intriguing.
During the break, Yang Rui arranged for the players to practice shooting, and warned the players to work hard, not to have a moment of slack in the game, and the next game is very crucial.
With one more home win, the Wizards will get a match point, and the Nets will need to win three games in a row to reverse the promotion, which can be imagined as difficult.
But if the Wizards lose and the Nets tie the total score at 2-2, the situation will be very unfavorable for the Wizards, and the crucial Game 5 will be played at the Nets' home court, and it will be more difficult for them to win.
In the fourth battle, winning is heaven, losing is hell.
After analyzing the stakes, the players practiced seriously, and Jordan also practiced the three points in the middle, hoping to give the team more help on the offensive end.
On the evening of May 24, the fourth battle began.
The Nets couldn't afford to lose, so after Scott and the assistant coaches had a meeting to discuss, Curry returned to the bench, played small-ball tactics in the opening game, and used Martin and Rodgers to partner inside, and finally found the right way.
Jordan is difficult to play efficiently with the ball against Rodgers, and the only role on the court is to pull away and pass the ball.
Martin is against Boozer, changing defenses, dismantling, chasing and defending the inside line is fast, and the 106-kilogram weight relies on explosive power to defend Boozer in the low position and will not be blown up.
On the offensive end, Rodgers shot beyond the three-point line, and the Nets stretched wider. Martin cut quickly after the pick-and-roll, while Boozer defended much harder.
After playing for two minutes, Yang Rui immediately took the opportunity to replace Boozer and replace Stoudamire to stabilize the situation.
Although both sides play small-ball tactics, the Wizards have no advantage in mobility and can't play sharp fast breaks, but slowly grinding positions with the Nets, at least the score will not fall behind.
Once the defense is strengthened, the game becomes less pretty. Yang Rui is a little regretful, in terms of game enjoyment, he still enjoyed playing with the Raptors, and his offense was rarely blocked by opponents.
Last year, he only had to arrange for a three-point shooter to pull away and let O'Neal Jr. and Carter catch the ball and go head-to-head to kill the Nets. O'Neal Jr. has an advantage in playing low back. Kittels couldn't have stopped Carter, and it was also a tragedy to have Halprin and Reed against him.
But now that Yang Rui is gone, the Raptors' interior stars are gone, and the outside ball is not enough to score, and the Raptors have become a tragedy.
The first quarter was tied between the two sides.
In the second quarter, the two teams also went against the norm and continued to fight defensively. In key games, it is easy to make mistakes when playing fast attack, and they want to fight for offensive efficiency under the premise of solid defense, and they dare not act rashly.
The Wizards' loss in the first game was to suffer too many mistakes, and the Wizards won because there were many people who could respond, but Jordan, Alstom, and Hamilton did not have the same high pass success rate as Kidd in the fast break. Unless the player's mobility is obviously superior, Yang Rui will not arrange to run and bomb.
The key figure in the Wizards' defense is Gerald Wallace, who does a great job of individual defense and pick-and-roll; Margety, Bale, and Wesley on the perimeter didn't let their opponents take what they wanted, and center Boozer resisted Curry.
The Nets also defended the restricted area, trying to interfere with mid-to-long-range shots as much as possible, and trying to use up 24 seconds per round on offense.
The players took turns throwing on the periphery, and they all felt bad, the Wizards' Margetty, Wallace, Wesley, and the Nets' Rodgers, Harris, and Aaron Williams all scored a point in this quarter. They used their actions to compose a moving hymn to the fans.
This power is iron! This power is steel! Harder than iron, stronger than steel......
The Wizards scored just 12 points in the quarter, and the Nets scored just 17.
Yang Rui is not in a hurry or impatient, his plan is to wear down the opponent's physical strength first, and the last quarter is the time for the track and field team to exert their power, and they often win the race by running marathons in the regular season.
However, the Nets also rotate a lot of players, and Kidd, Martin, Jackson and others can also run marathons. The No. 2 Kittels has average physical strength due to several injuries, and the substitute also has Rousios Harris, the two have similar styles and are good at defending off the ball.
The two sides were also evenly matched in the second half, and the score remained deadlocked until the end.
45.2 seconds into the final quarter, Jordan passed Rodgers for a breakthrough layup, and Martin retreated in time to make up for the defense and successfully interfered.
The ball bounced out of the frame, Kidd grabbed the rebound in the backcourt and suddenly made a long pass to Rodgers to counterattack, the latter received the ball without waiting for his teammates, took two steps to meet Hamilton and shot, relying on the height advantage of 70 degrees on the left side to pull out a three-point shot, and the score was overtaken by one point.
85-86, Yang Rui asked for a long timeout, and there were only 41 seconds left.
