This Forward is Not Serious

Of course, except for Karl himself, not to mention Kidd, even the Nets fans at the scene don't know what the Nets are doing now.

What they saw in front of them was: the Nets made a counterattack climax after midfield adjustments, successfully tied the score, and the two sides returned to the same starting line.

The Cavaliers' fighting spirit is still there.

The 6-point difference itself is not big, it only takes two or three rounds, so catching up is not a big deal.

Kidd also smelled danger and stood on the sidelines without going back to sit down, but he still did not call a timeout.

In the frontcourt, James was like a tank with full power, accelerating and knocking Ariza away, then rushed inside to face Jokic and dunked directly.

Jokic saw that he couldn't stop him and ran away.

"Bang!"

With a powerful and heavy signature tomahawk, James slammed the ball into the basket like a shot put!

The Cavaliers took the lead back again!

James just switched to small forward last season and spent a season steadily gaining weight.

Now his weight has returned to the state of the late Cavaliers, and his agility has declined, but his inside impact is back!

Moreover, his skills as a defender have been constantly improving in recent years. Although he is a little less interesting to watch, he is still very close to his peak performance.

"We can win!"

He even shouted at his teammates while retreating.

This also received a very positive response from teammates. After the Cavaliers retreated, the entire defensive intensity increased significantly.

Durant and Lin Ying made two back and forth cuts and pick-and-roll runs without any chance.

The Nets' offense was running out of time.

Kidd also breathed a sigh of relief.

It was indeed dangerous just now. If James' dunk hadn't boosted the team's morale, the Nets might have completely widened the point difference in one go!

Lin Ying took the initiative to pass the ball, and then directly entered the "white-hot space".

He basically didn't play much with Durant in the first half, and he was very physical.

"We have to go all out in the third quarter to overtake the lead and then pull away. This is the new Brooklyn time!"

Here's what Carr said at halftime.

Lin Ying felt excited when she heard this.

He didn't think much of it when discussing it with Durant, but Karl's idea was very interesting.

This should be the third version of "Brooklyn Time."

The first version was the suffocating defense in the Sloan era, which was also called the "third quarter of death" at the time;

The second version was the "Brooklyn Men's Team" era. At that time, the Nets added a wave of five-small offense on the basis of suffocating defense;

Then comes the third version. This version is even rougher. It’s like playing a game to magnify the moves. In the first half, the blue bar is suppressed and the Texas Twins charge up, and then in the third quarter, they go straight to full firepower!

Each version is designed according to the team lineup, and the adaptability is very high.

So it’s “show.Time” for the Texas Twins!

These two are more than just good at tactics!

Lin Ying's breakthrough speed was so fast that the Cavaliers had no time to react.

Thompson was pulled to the top of the arc by Jokic, and James had just helped defend Durant. The Cavaliers' basket was just like the girl from Yihongyuan, the door was wide open!

"Bang!"

Lin Ying penetrated the hinterland and smashed the ball into the basket with the same tomahawk dunk!

This is the same ball James scored before!

However, Lin Ying was not that excited after the dunk. He just turned his head and made eye contact with Durant.

For them, tying the score is just the beginning, the more important thing is to open the score!

Irving breaks through with the ball in the frontcourt. His breakthrough steps are gorgeous, vividly explaining what it means to be an "elf-like" defender, which is extremely beautiful.

"Dang!"

However, beautiful things do not necessarily have a happy ending. When Irving was going for a layup, he was flanked by Lin Ying's defense and almost fell to the ground.

Although he avoided it with his excellent aerial adjustment ability, the ball still missed the basket after being interfered with.

The rebound was picked off by Jokic.

The Cavaliers retreated early because they were frightened by the Nets' several consecutive counterattacks.

The Nets attacked the frontcourt and continued to play position, and Jokic continued to hold the ball.

The Nets' tactics have not changed much, but the Cavaliers' defensive pressure has increased exponentially at this time.

Lin Ying's dunk just now told them that even if they can defend against the Nets' tactics, it doesn't mean they have been defended. Lin Ying and Durant have fast and stable singles abilities.

No, the Cavaliers made another effort to prevent the Nets from two tactical moves, but when Durant received the ball, the mismatch had already been formed.

Love wanted to rush to defend Durant's shot, but Durant changed directions and made a pull-up jumper, and Love couldn't keep up with the rhythm at all.

Durant and Lin Ying have different playing styles. Lin Ying's breakthrough is more powerful, while Durant's shooting is more.

Lin Ying stands out for his explosiveness and quickness, while Durant stands out for his quickness and accuracy.

"Uh-huh!"

The basketball went hollow into the net, and the Cavaliers had no chance to attack!

61 to 63!

The Nets overtook the score again!

Lin Ying and Durant are so sure of scoring!

"Defend! Defend!"

At this time, the fans present also began to cheer for the Nets in unison.

Kidd also felt that the Nets were about to gain momentum and walked back and forth on the sidelines.

The Cavaliers' next offense becomes very critical.

James once again made a breakthrough with the ball. His momentum was very fierce, and the Nets chose to shrink the attack.

This contraction was very decisive, but James' breakthrough was also very decisive. His shot successfully caused Ariza's thug to go to the free throw line again.

At this moment, the Nets were starting to gain momentum. Driven by the on-site DJ, the whole audience was booing.

Even Spike Lee enthusiastically turned around and waved to the fans to play louder.

"Dang!"

James' first free throw missed.

James pouted and shook his head in annoyance.

His second free throw included more preparations and took two deep breaths.

Then,

"Dang!"

There is no second penalty!

The fans' interference worked, and James missed two free throws!

Lin Ying picked up the rebound and the Nets once again launched a defensive counterattack.

This time, he passed two defenders from the backcourt and rushed to the frontcourt. He easily wiped the board and sent the ball into the basket.

61 to 65!

The Nets are starting to gain momentum!

There was a mistake in the Cavaliers' frontcourt coordination, and Shumpert failed to catch James' pass.

Kidd reached out and called a timeout.

James spread his hands and looked at Shumpert, then shook his head in annoyance and walked off the court.

"They're playing a cat-and-mouse game."

Over in the commentary box, O'Neal was the first to notice what the Nets were doing.

Lin Ying and Durant only scored 12 points in the first half, but in the second half, they had already scored 13 points together!

If you say this was not intentional, no one will believe it.

And the most important thing is the Nets' style of play. The second half is completely different from the first half.

It's this difference that makes it look like a cat catching a mouse.

"But they are the Cavaliers after all, and it is not easy for the Nets to open up the score."

Kenny Smith on the side said.

O'Neill smiled and said nothing.

Smith was right, but he always felt that it had nothing to do with who the opponent was.

No matter how big a mouse is and its bloodline is suppressed, it still cannot escape the fate of being teased by a cat.

Return from the timeout and the game continues.

The Cavaliers played a relatively simple tactic, with James holding the ball and hitting Ariza with his back.

A slightly less beautiful turn and tilt.

"Dang!"

The basketball missed the basket again.

Since James learned the steps from Olajuwon, his post-up play has reached a certain level.

But from the free throw just now to this post-up play, it can still be seen that James is still in the adaptation period after regaining weight.

Thompson grabbed an offensive rebound, but when he wanted to pass the ball to James, Lin Ying intercepted it!

The advantage of having enough energy is that it lasts longer.

Lin Ying has a strong presence on both offense and defense in the white-hot space.

Fortunately, James was alert enough and fouled Lin Ying directly, preventing the Nets' fast break.

Both sides moved to the frontcourt position.

Kidd found it difficult to remain calm at the moment and kept shouting on the sidelines to remind his players to move.

The effect of this is still there. The Nets' tactics did not work out. Lin Ying was also flanked heavily when he broke through. James had already flown over to prepare for a volleyball block.

However, Lin Ying did not force the shot. Instead, he jumped up, turned around in the air, and passed the ball to Bradley in the opposite corner.

Bradley gets a completely wide open shot.

When the Cavaliers focused all their defense on the Texas Twins, opportunities for others naturally appeared!

Bradley didn't hesitate and took action decisively after catching the ball.

Kidd's heart skipped a beat when he saw this.

The Texas Twins have a strong ability to seize opportunities, but others must not be so stable, right?

But Bradley's shooting arc looks very straight.

Also in 3D, his stability is much higher than Ariza.

"Uh-huh!"

With a crisp sound, Bradley's three-pointer passed through the net!

61 to 68!

The score difference is getting wider and wider!

"Uh-huh!"

Fortunately, looking back, Love caught the ball from the outside and hit a difficult three-pointer against Lin Ying's long arm.

The Cavaliers' bench was abuzz.

Just like Smith said, it is not easy to defeat the Cavaliers.

The point difference was brought back to 5 points!

"Uh-huh!"

But before the Cavaliers players even sat back on the bench, Durant hit a three-point answerball from the outside!

And in this round just now, Lin Ying and Durant made eye contact and started a pick-and-roll with the Texas Twins!

This is because I feel that the Nets opened the score too slowly!

And because Bradley had just hit a three-pointer, the Cavaliers did not dare to attack the Gemini pick-and-roll casually.

The Thunder didn't know how to defend the Gemini pick-and-roll at the beginning of the last game, and the Cavaliers didn't know either!

And this three-pointer is very hard, and the Nets' defensive enthusiasm is back.

Love's cut-in layup was caught by Durant!

Who says Durant can't defend?

Looking back, the Texas Twins continued to play pick-and-roll. This time Lin Ying broke through the basket and created another 2+1 on Love!

Everyone in Lok Fu is numb.

After losing weight, apart from shooting three-pointers from the outside, he can basically do nothing else on both offense and defense!

After Lin Ying's extra penalty, the Nets suddenly opened the point difference to double digits!

"Kenny, what are you talking about?"

O'Neill smiled and turned to look at Smith.

Smith on the side smiled, nodded in agreement, and then said:

"Brooklyn time."

…

The Nets scored a disparity of 40 to 22 in the third quarter.

At the end of the third quarter, they had led the Cavaliers by 12 points.

It is worth mentioning that of the 40 points, Lin Ying and Durant scored 30 of them together.

Carr's version of "Brooklyn Time" 3.0 worked in the first game of the experiment.

And they are facing their most direct competitor in the Eastern Conference, the Cavaliers.

But because it's the Cavaliers, the score doesn't seem so disparate.

If the Thunder had played like this before, the point difference in a single quarter would have been 20 or even 30 points.

The Texas Twins' firepower is just too fierce.

After this quarter, the Nets' lead was not too big, but their momentum had completely suppressed the Cavaliers.

After the final quarter, the Nets finally defeated the Cavaliers 122-112 and won the Thanksgiving Day battle.

Lin Ying and Durant both scored 30+ points again. Lin Ying scored 34 points and Durant scored 32 points. The two scored 66 points together.

Counting the last game, the Twins averaged 67 points per game in the two games.

The explosive scoring power of this combination is not an exaggeration.

"Ying, it seems your method didn't work."

After the game, Durant and Lin Ying attended the press conference, and Durant spoke.

"No, it worked. Don't you think you're sweating less?"

Lin Ying replied with a smile.

Durant smiled and nodded.

Regardless of the strength of the opponent, they produced output in three quarters in the last game, but tonight they only really exerted their strength in the second half.

In other words, mainly concentrated in the third quarter.

They walked into the locker room chatting and saw Jokic lying there resting with a look of despair.

Tonight, Jokic scored 18 points in the first half and a triple-double of 22 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists.

For a player who doesn't like scoring and doesn't like physical confrontation, tonight's game was really miserable for him.

Because in the first half, he was assigned to fight in the low post, and in the second half, he carried out the Cavaliers' attack inside.

It's really just something he doesn't like, and then let him do it.

He stretched out his hand to touch his belly again and felt that he had lost a lot of weight overnight.

Seeing Jokic's expression and actions, Lin Ying and Durant couldn't help laughing.

It’s really hard for the little fat guy.

"Ying, go over and comfort him."

Durant said to Lin Ying.

Lin Ying nodded, then walked towards Jokic with a smile.

Seeing that Lin Ying was coming, Jokic immediately cheered up and stood up from his seat with a smile.

"You played well. Next time I will ask George to arrange for you to go to the press conference with us."

Lin Ying reached out and patted Jokic on the shoulder.

"next time?"

Jokic was stunned for a moment. He didn't know about Lin Ying's communication with Karl, and Karl hadn't said that the Nets would stick to their style of play tonight.

"Yeah, next time, don't worry, there will be more opportunities like this in the future."

Lin Ying said with a smile.

Jokic, however, touched his stomach and slumped back to the bench.

It’s over!
