The Godfather of Basketball

DeRozan made two free throws, and the Raptors at home finally began to score.

In the offense of the Nets, Jokic played brilliantly. After shaking off Valanciunas from outside the three-point line, he went directly to the inside and dunked Scala to score.

That's not counting, Lowry's breakthrough here didn't score, and Deron chased and scored a three-pointer.

9 to 1!

The Raptors that the Nets played at the beginning turned into a cute dragon!

Casey quickly called a timeout.

There was a burst of excited cheers when the Nets players left the field.

In the past few games, their opponents grabbed Booker and they started very passively. Now Booker's defense has suddenly risen. Not only did the opponents not expect it, but even they themselves did not expect that this wave of play was completely blowout.

After the timeout, the Raptors made substitution adjustments, replacing Scola with Terrence Ross, and played a lineup of one big and four small.

With Valanciunas' high support, Lowry accelerated to get rid of Deron, caught the ball and scored a layup.

Casey's adjustment was not bad, and the Raptors scored their first field goal.

The Nets' frontcourt offense, Yi Jianlian's chance to play Carroll in the low post.

Carroll is a striker who can do three things and four things, but he is far behind Yi Jianlian in confrontation. When he was pushed near the penalty area, DeRozan went in to help defend.

The Nets' team offense didn't stand and watch. After running outside, Booker got a good shot.

Yi Jianlian flicked the pass, and Booker made an almost open shot after receiving the ball.

There was a commotion at the scene, which was Booker's housekeeping skill.

But everyone who followed immediately was stunned for a moment.

I don't know if it's because I lost confidence in the past period of time, but this shot was obviously wide, and it was almost a three-pointer!

The defensive rebound was accepted by Valanciunas, the Raptors counterattacked, and Lowry returned a chasing three-pointer.

The Raptors were a little underprepared at the beginning, and after adjusting, they gave the Nets a 5-0.

In terms of overall strength, they are on the same level as the Nets in the East.

The two teams played for more than 5 minutes, and the score on the court was 13 to 11. The Nets maintained a slight lead of 2 points.

At this moment, Butler had a wonderful performance on the defensive end. First, he forced Rose to take the ball with high pressure, and then turned around and blocked DeRozan's layup.

Compared with the offense, Butler's changes and effects on the defensive end to this team are huge.

The Nets took advantage of the situation to fight back. In the fast break, Deron found Booker who followed up. The latter got the second shot of the game, and it was still a super wide open.

Booker glanced at the frame before shooting.

"boom!"

The ball was still thrown heavily. After hitting the backboard and bouncing off, it went directly over the backboard and out of bounds.

He missed both opportunities.

Tang Tian also seemed a little helpless. It seemed that his performance in the past had a greater impact on Booker than he had imagined.

DeRozan's frontcourt singles Butler hit a difficult mid-range to justify himself.

Looking back, the Nets played a wonderful cooperation in the frontcourt, and Booker took the open opportunity.

But maybe it was because he didn't make a shot the previous two times. This time he obviously hesitated. He caught the ball and didn't shoot it, but wanted to pass it, and the result was passed directly to Carroll.

The Raptors counterattacked after stealing the ball, and Rose caught the ball and scored a layup.

15 to 13, the Raptors scored 4 points in a row and overtook the score.

Tang Tian called a timeout.

"Devin, shoot when you get the chance, you are a shooting guard." Tang Tian reminded Booker, his tone not very good.

After spending 2 honor points but not seeing any effect, he must not be in a good mood.

Booker nodded, but seeing his slightly confused expression, he didn't know if he really listened.

Taking advantage of this timeout, Tang Tian also replaced Booker with Gordon to let the latter calm down off the court.

After Gordon came on the field, he scored a three-pointer, and the microwave oven had an obvious effect.

However, the Raptors also had a touch in the previous period. DeRozan and Lowry turned over and over again, and the two teams have been in a stalemate on the scene.

After the first quarter, the score was tied at 28. Both teams played at a very good level.

At the beginning of the second quarter, both teams had a substitute lineup. For the Raptors, Scola led four substitutes. For the Nets, Tang Tian also replaced Booker.

McGrady's frontcourt and Pralim's pick-and-roll, and after splitting it, sent a beautiful pass to the ground. Unfortunately, the latter was a buttery player and missed the basket.

Biyombo received the defensive rebound, Corey Joseph advanced to the frontcourt and played a pick-and-roll with Scola, and returned the ball after the split, Scola hit a high jumper.

Livingston moved further upcourt, allowing David West to drop to play Scola in the low post, targeting a weak point in the Raptors' defense.

West's strength still exists, playing Scola soon arched to the restricted area, James Johnson's defense.

McGrady took the initiative to block one for Booker. West understood it and passed the ball to Booker with a flick of his hand. Booker received the ball and got a good shot.

The old McGrady is working hard to help Booker on the court.

Booker still hesitated to catch the ball, and was interfered by Rose's swoop when he shot.

"boom!"

His third 3-point attempt of the game was still a miss.

Tang Tian frowned while watching off the court.

He even wondered if he had misjudged Booker.

Booker didn't open, Pralim's continuous buttery hands, McGrady's singles efficiency was not high, and the Nets basically only relied on Livingston and West's sporadic singles to score.

Without Gordon, the original deep lineup suddenly became a little thin.

The Nets did not have an advantage during this period, and the Raptors established a 6-point lead.

The main force of the Raptors came back and performed well, maintaining this lead.

At the end of halftime, the score on the field was 61 to 55, and the Raptors took the lead.

Booker's performance in the first half disappointed Tang Tian.

He made 0 of 5 shots, 0 of 3 three-pointers, scored no points, and made 2 turnovers.

Although his defensive ability has improved, he did not drive the offense because of it, and he was still as lost as in the previous games.

Although this is unexpected, it makes sense when you think about it carefully.

After all, Booker is only a rookie, and after the starting point is high, the resistance to overcome after falling down and climbing up again is even greater. It is a bit unhuman to expect him to immediately show the same expression as before.

Back in the second half, Booker didn't get another chance to play. Tang Tian changed the original ten-man rotation into a nine-man rotation. Butler and McGrady are both forward swingmen. They teamed up with Gordon in twos and twos to fight Not a big problem.

The old McGrady also stood up again in more playing time, making shots from inside and outside, and almost all the scoring in the transition period by himself.

It was also by virtue of his strong performance that the Nets chased back the lagging point difference. In the decisive stage, Butler defended Lowry and DeRozan in consecutive waves, and Deron's consecutive scoring on the offensive end also made the The Nets became the ultimate winner.
