This Forward is Not Serious

"The Knicks need to make some tactical adjustments, otherwise they may be caught up before the end of the third quarter."

In the commentary box, Mike Breen couldn't help but speak.

"They need to play like they did in the first half, more transition offense."

Brin said it more tactfully, while Reggie Miller on the side was very direct.

Obviously, by this time most people have seen the problem.

Rivers' choice is... to walk to the sidelines and use his rich body language to encourage the team to play a strong offensive and defensive performance!

I won’t change it, come and hit me if you can.jpg!

Encouraged by him, Wade rushed into the frontcourt and contributed a strike.

With the continuous pursuit of points, the enthusiasm and game state of the Nets players on the court continue to increase.

The current defense cannot be said to be airtight, but it is also watertight!

The Nets once again hit the fast break.

But this time James reacted quickly and suddenly made a steal when Lin Ying passed the ball.

"Snapped!"

His reaction was quick enough, but he underestimated the power of the ball.

As a result, he failed to intercept the ball directly, but changed the direction of the ball's flight.

It's a pity that it wasn't intercepted, but successfully breaking the pass is considered a successful defense.

That’s right, there was an accident on the sidelines!

The ball changed direction and flew straight to Kanye West in the front row of the audience!

West dodged directly sideways.

It's not that he reacted quickly, but that he was hit by a ball just once in the Christmas game last year!

That time Lin Ying rushed over to apologize to him, and he was left speechless.

The same thing happened again, how could he not be prepared.

This is a lesson learned from the experience gained.

"boom!"

But he dodged it, and Kim Kardashian next to him suffered!

The basketball greeted her heavily made-up face directly.

Her false eyelashes flew out like the tires of a car, and then the basketball came into the most intimate contact with her eyes, and she burst into tears on the spot.

Her face is not as thick-skinned as West!

James shook his head in annoyance for not grabbing the ball, but when he saw that the person who was hit was Kardashian, the emotion on his face changed quickly, and he immediately ran over and became concerned.

Kardashian felt like stars were shooting out of her eyes, and it took her a while to calm down.

After she regained her composure, she recalled what had happened. She covered half of her face and looked at West angrily.

I don't know if that half of the face was swollen from the impact, or if it was bulging with anger.

But this is not the most uncomfortable thing for her. The most uncomfortable thing is that James is caring about her right now.

She couldn't even just turn around and leave!

Because that would mean being angry with James, and he would be so hurt and angry that he still couldn’t leave!

The referee signaled for the game to continue, and James continued to return to the playing field.

West reached out to care about Kardashian, but before his hand could reach it, he was slapped away by Kardashian.

And after confirming that the camera was not on him, he stood up, picked up his bag and left.

West got up and chased after him, forgetting that he still had hot coffee in his hand. This time, all the hot coffee was spilled directly into his crotch, making him scream.

But he couldn't care less at the moment, and stumbled after him despite the pain.

Kardashian is now more famous than him, and he has to rely on Kardashian to make a fortune!

And don’t think about kneeling down to beg for mercy tonight, it would be nice to have durian to kneel down for him!

An episode on the sidelines interrupted the game for a while, and also eased the anxious mentality of the Knicks players.

After calming down, Wade and James scored in two consecutive position battles, and the Knicks' momentum on the court stabilized.

At the end of the three quarters, the score on the court was 74 to 68. The Nets trailed the Knicks by 6 points entering the final quarter.

They recovered an 11-point deficit in this quarter.

The outcome is still unknown.

The start of the fourth quarter became very critical.

The Knicks relied on this period of time to open the score in the first half.

Rivers also made substitution adjustments in advance to ensure that Ray Allen was on the court at this time.

But compared with the first half, the Nets have a very special change.

Joe Johnson was on the field for the opening kickoff of the fourth quarter!

In the third quarter, Johnson was immediately replaced by Sloan because Ray Allen scored a three-pointer in the opening game.

He sat off the court for nearly a quarter and was not replaced by Sloan until the beginning of the fourth quarter.

At this time, Johnson can be said to be full of energy.

He made a contribution on the defensive end as soon as he came up and directly blocked Norris Cole's layup!

That look looked like he was going to eat Cole alive!

And don’t think he can’t jump, he was also an authentic dunker when he debuted with the Suns!

Before, he could no longer fly because his weight kept increasing. Now that he has lost weight, he can breathe the high-altitude air again!

And after catching the shot, he was the first to follow up quickly, receiving Billups' pass and flying for a layup.

Ray Allen's condition continued here, and he made a baseline jumper after receiving the ball.

Just looking back, Johnson made a single with the ball, turned around, broke through and hit the board again!

In the first half, Sloan wanted to find someone to score points, but Iverson failed to do so.

But in the second half, something went wrong and Johnson took on the role!

If you plant flowers intentionally, they will not bloom, but if you plant willows unintentionally, they will create shade!

This is not only tonight's game, it will also be of great inspiration to the Nets' rotation in subsequent games!

Five minutes into the fourth quarter, the Nets led the score 81 to 80!

Things are turning, and the Nets have the advantage in this transition period!

And in the third quarter, they trailed the Knicks by as much as 20 points!

In other words, they scored 21 more points than the Knicks in the second half!

The live footage showed Rivers, and he was the most embarrassing person in the world at this moment.

The main force came back, and Deron missed one shot from the outside.

Bosh took off the defensive rebound, and the Knicks launched a defensive counterattack. James squeezed Butler away during the fast break and put the ball into the basket.

82 to 81.

The Knicks regained the lead.

Of course, what's more important than these two points is that the Knicks started to fight back defensively again!

This means resolutely not fighting when you are ahead, and starting to fight when you are behind.

Rivers...there's something wrong with the designation!

But if the Knicks start playing like they did in the first half, being chased by points will no longer be a problem.

Being chased by 20 points and being overturned by 20 points are two different things.

If they can win the game in the end, no one will pay attention to 20 points or not.

Sloan stood up and signaled, and the Nets began to play a two-man show.

Lin Ying broke away and walked outside. After receiving Deron's pass, he immediately discovered the Knicks' defensive changes.

He was no longer flanked.

Sloan's daily predictions.

But it’s easy to understand.

First, Lin Ying didn't score much tonight due to a crazy double attack. He hasn't even scored 20 points so far, so his condition may not be good.

Second, this is the decisive moment of the fourth quarter, and Rivers also has to consider the physical fitness of the main players. Otherwise, if they don't play until the last moment, the Knicks' physical fitness will have problems first.

Lin Ying held it in for a whole game without taking any action, which was uncomfortable.

Wade, who is now guarding him, looks like a 9-point beauty in front of him!

He jumped up, accelerated and changed direction, squeezing Wade past him.

Wade's knee injury affects his lateral movement more.

However, he was decisive enough and pulled Lin Ying with his backhand to prevent Lin Ying from rushing in.

But what he didn't expect was that Lin Ying would make a long-distance lever throw in the air after the whistle sounded!

"Uh-huh!"

The ball went in!

Such soft body coordination and feel!

Wade indicated that he fouled first, but the referee indicated that the goal was valid.

Because the number of fouls has not been reached, this is the difference between 0 points and 2+1.

Wade's eyes widened, and James excitedly ran to the referee and gestured.

However, the referee had no intention of changing the decision.

In fact, there are opinions on whether this referee is valid or invalid, but there is no way. The president sent a message for them, Lin Ying is already super giant!

Lin Ying went to the free throw line and made a solid hit with the extra penalty.

82 to 84.

The Nets took the lead again!

The game seemed to have returned to the opening stage, and every round became critical.

James and Butler each hit an iron, and the ball was in Lin Ying's hands again.

Lin Ying once again faced Wade after a pick-and-roll.

In a similar round, this time Wade didn't dare to reach out, and Lin Ying was like a speeding train, rushing towards the inside line.

"Bang!"

Before James could help defend, Lin Ying jumped into the air and transformed into a brave train man, slamming the ball into the basket with both hands!

Dislocation singles, effective and stable.

The core of the pick-and-roll tactic was perfectly demonstrated in these two rounds.

The Barclays Center was instantly filled with cheers from basketball fans.

As fans, they did not know the tactical game on the field. What they saw was Lin Ying, who had not performed much before, turning on the scoring mode at the decisive moment!

"Dang!"

Ray Allen missed Wade's three-pointer!

The thighs don’t work anymore!

However, after the offensive and defensive transition, James showed his responsibility. He directly switched back to guard Deron, and faced Lin Ying after the pick-and-roll.

Lin Yingsan threatened to break through in one step.

James was only half a body slower.

With his defensive focus and absolute talent, James followed Lin Ying with the ball.

Lin Ying would definitely not have a good chance of stopping suddenly.

Lin Ying fell to a sudden stop, turned around and hit the board.

Appeared, Kage Shiki turned around!

Stopping suddenly and turning back are now his ultimate moves, but he has not lost those skills from before.

The steps he learned from Kobe back then have been completely integrated into his arsenal!

James did not follow up this time and watched Lin Ying send the ball into the basket with a light rebound.

82 to 88!

Lin Ying scored 7 points in a row, and the Nets in turn led the Knicks by 6 points!

This is also their largest lead tonight.

The familiar feeling that fans had when they watched the Nets play the Celtics came back again, and the chemical reaction between Lin Ying and Sloan happened again.

And this time fans are sure of one thing, there must be a substance called dopamine in the product of this chemical reaction.

Because that makes them so excited and happy!

…

90 to 98.

The Nets finally defeated the Knicks by 8 points and won the New York Derby and Christmas Day battle.

Lin Ying only scored 26 points in the whole game, which was not at the same level as the game against the Celtics.

However, he scored 14 points in the decisive moment of the last quarter and completely dominated the game.

Data can sometimes deceive people, and sometimes it can also confuse people.

Of course, more importantly than these, they hammered another big nail into Rivers' coffin.

At the press conference after the game, Sloan was in a rare good mood.

The reporters below discovered a very interesting thing. In Sloan's 20 years with the Jazz, he really didn't smile as much in front of the media as he did in the Nets' 20-plus games.

Perhaps the coach is always happy with his decision to come to the Nets.

When talking about tonight's game, he just mentioned Lin Ying's performance casually.

This is his habit, and he rarely praises his players in front of the media.

He had already explained this during the Jazz era.

He believes that the players have received corresponding salaries for their performance, and they are a lot of salaries. They deserve to perform well and do not need any more praise.

What he focused on was the significance of this game.

“We got off to a very good start this season and won a lot of difficult games, but I always feel that we are missing a kind of game, because in the playoffs you can’t always have smooth sailing, and you are likely to encounter today’s situation. This situation is late.

Being behind by 10 points, 20 points, maybe even more, but you may only have 20 minutes left, or even 10 minutes.

So I think tonight we have to thank our opponent for helping us make up for this type of game and it will make our guys realize that. "

Sloan was extremely serious when he said this, and you could totally feel that's what he meant.

Or if you think about it differently, teams that win more are prone to slacking off. At this time, you will need a difficult game to remind them.

But after hearing this, Lin Ying unconsciously looked at the reactions of the reporters in the audience.

Sure enough, many people's eyes were so indescribable.

There is nothing wrong with what he said, but he robbed all the bamboo shoots in New York in one breath!

After co-writing the Knicks for a whole game, it was like being a sparring partner in a boxing match, being used as a tool by you!

After Sloan said these words, he did not pay attention to the outside reaction.

For him, who was still using an elderly phone that could only make calls when he arrived in New York, he didn't care about the media's reaction at all.

But the actual situation is that Sloan's remarks really stimulated Knicks fans.

"We conceded a Bogut!"

They didn't dare troll Sloan, but they did shout out on social media.

But that's not wrong.

If D'Antoni is still coaching, Bogut's impact will not be too great.

But in Rivers' tactical system, Bogut's role will be similar to that of Garnett of the Celtics. In some cases, the impact can be decisive.

If we really wait for Bogut to come back and the two teams play against each other again, or meet in the playoffs, the game will definitely be more exciting than tonight's Christmas game.

Although, after falling behind by 20 points, they came back from behind, humanity was defeated by the essence of the comeback, and Lin Ying reaped the rewards at the last moment, this game was enough for the fans to talk about it for a while.

Thanks to Ai Hanhan for the tip~
