The Godfather of Basketball

There was a commotion among the fans at the scene. They never expected that the aggressive home team would end up in such a situation with the Nets.

Korver still missed the three-pointer under interference. This is the third three-pointer he missed after the opening.

There was an uproar at the scene.

The Eagles took 32.1% of their three-point shots in the regular season this season, ranking fourth in the league, and their 38.2% field goal percentage ranked second in the league, second only to the Warriors in the West.

As the team's three-point leader, Korver averaged 6 three-point shots per game this season, and his season shooting percentage is 49.2%, which ranks first in the league!

But now he has missed 3 consecutive shots!

Tang Tian got up and made a new tactical gesture. After the Nets advanced to the frontcourt, Jokic was still supporting him from outside the three-point line, but the other players did not run tactics like before. A simple off-ball pick-and-roll , After Joe Johnson misplaced and faced Korver, the others directly opened up the space.

Jokic lobs the ball high, and Johnson sits and hits Korver directly.

The other four members of the Nets have the ability to shoot three-pointers, with a lot of space, and the Eagles can't help the defense.

Johnson sank his focus and chiseled Korver in, and after pressing to the inside, he turned around and hit the board head-on.

"boom!"

The ball hit the backboard and bounced off the rim and missed.

But Johnson pressed Korver to make another comeback, and still hit the ball into the basket.

The Nets scored first.

The Eagles also played teamwork in the frontcourt. Horford had a three-pointer at the top of the circle, and he suddenly chose to shoot.

Jokic would have been able to make a three-pointer, but now he was 100% focused, and he almost risked Horford with his aggressive save.

Horford's three-pointer missed the frame, and it turned out to be a three-pointer!

Johnson picked up a defensive rebound from the basket, and the Eagles' offense returned without success again!

Deron held the ball and advanced to the frontcourt. Seeing that Johnson had misplaced Korver in the frontcourt, he didn't give it to Jokic and gave the ball directly.

Carroll on the weak side wanted to come over to help defend, but Johnson was experienced in post-up play, and after realizing it, a pass to the outside of the three-point line forced him back.

The other players on the Nets also quickly opened up the space. After Johnson recovered the ball, there was another hard attack. In the low post, he made a fake move to the free throw line to deceive Korver, and then turned to the baseline and shot back directly.

"Shua!"

The ball went straight into the net.

Joe Johnson scored 4 points in a row after breaking the deadlock!

There was a commotion at the scene. Johnson was the "Eagle King" in the past, but now he has become an opponent, and he played a leadership-level performance at a critical moment.

The Eagles continued to run tactics in the frontcourt. This time, Horford responded with his back in the high position, and Teague used Millsap to come out to catch the ball and make a shot.

However, Yi Jianlian is very fast, and he will replace it as soon as it is dismantled.

"boom!"

Teague was awarded a hot pot for his shot!

Before the audience could cry out in amazement, Deron picked up the blocked ball from the outside line, accelerated to throw Korver away, and went to the frontcourt to score a fast break layup.

6 to 0!

Budenholzer reached out and called a timeout.

The Nets stopped the Eagles directly!

"Performed well. Keep the intensity on the defensive end. They will probably start singles in the next round. Don't give the opponent a chance to misplace easily. Don't change when encountering a pick-and-roll. Give them room for one step." Tang Tian quickly said to the players.

After the timeout, players from both sides came on stage one after another, and neither side adjusted their lineups.

The scene shot was given to Tang Tian.

The Nets suddenly changed their style of play before the timeout, which worked wonders.

Tang Tian stared at the field intently.

Teams and individuals, cooperation and singles, seem to be opposites, but at the same time they are interlinked. Just like basketball is round, the ultimate goal of any style of play is to send the ball into the basket. One depends on the situation on the field.

The consecutive failure to cooperate and attack in the opening game shows that Budenholzer also made full preparations before the game, and he also tried his best to organize the team cooperation of the Nets.

At this time, Tang Tian's experience and on-the-spot command ability were reflected, and he took the lead in making adjustments to give the Nets an advantage.

Back from the timeout, Teague attacked the frontcourt. Carroll and Korver continued to make off-ball pick-and-rolls for Millsap, but the Nets did not change. Millsap and Yi Jianlian finally stood more than one meter apart. , When Teague gave the ball in, Yi Jianlian was already in front of him.

There was not much time left in the attack, and Millsap forced Yi Jianlian head-on, but was interfered with the shot, and the ball still missed the basket.

There was more commotion at the scene. The game lasted for more than 5 minutes, but the home team did not score a single point!

Deron held the ball and advanced to the frontcourt, Joe Johnson continued to drop low, the Eagles did not change at this time, Johnson did not play the ball, returned the ball to Deron, Deron took the ball and reorganized.

At this time, the experience comparison of the two point guards came out.

Deron didn't show panic or attack directly, but signaled Jokic to quickly lower his back to Horford, wait until the others pulled away, and then he lobbed the ball in.

Jokic has a big body and the ball is deep enough. Although there is not much time to attack, he directly presses Horford and turns around after receiving the ball.

Horford's hard-fought block hit Jokic's hand, and the referee called him a thug foul.

He could only shake his head helplessly.

The average height of the Eagles on the defensive end is very low. Millsap is a pseudo-four. Horford also played power forward before. This lineup is more like a small lineup. After the Nets pulled out the space on the court, the one-on-one defense inside seemed to be at a disadvantage.

After all, Deron has played in the playoffs for many years, and he discovered this after playing for a while.

With boos all over the sky, Jokic made both free throws, and the Nets led 8-0 at the start.

The Eagles still wanted to create a dislocation for Millsap, but the Nets refused to give it up. Teague continued to simplify his style of play. He used Horford's pick-and-roll to make a strong breakthrough. The ball was interfered by Jokic and missed, but fortunately the referee gave the whistle up.

After Teague made two free throws, the home team finally broke the scoring drought.

Looking back, Jokic also played Horford in the low post. This time the Eagles quit. As soon as Jokic received the ball, Millsap on the weak side quickly came to help defend.

But almost at the same time, Jokic, who just turned his head slightly, directly made a creative ground pass. The ball passed directly from Horford and Millsap to the right sideline, where Yi Jianlian was rushing over.

Thanks to Tang Tian who put Jokic in the starting line-up early, Yi Jianlian was already prepared for Jokic's pass. Now he bent down to catch the ball and took two steps, and jumped high before Millsap returned to defense. Press the ball into the hoop with both hands.

"Boom!"

With Yi Jianlian's dunk scoring, the score on the field became 10 to 2!

The Nets are playing like a rainbow. From this point of view, it is not the eighth team in the Eastern Conference, but it is more like the number one team in the Eastern Conference!
