The Godfather of Basketball

680 Booker Wakes Up (Part 2) (3/3!)

After Green heard the whistle after landing, he immediately ran to the referee to explain regardless of the situation.

The referee didn't pay attention to it. The audience on the sidelines heard the sound just now. Even if he deliberately favored him, he couldn't turn a blind eye.

Seeing the referee's reaction, Green looked at the timer above his head, and finally could only reach out and hug his head.

At this time, there is only one second left before the end of the first quarter. This three-point foul is really worthless.

Tang Tian finally laughed now.

Although he still didn't understand why, Booker really came back. He handled the ball very calmly just now. You must know that the target of his foul was Green, who is known for his defensive ability.

Booker hit the free throw line, these three free throws are critical for the Nets.

The fans at the scene gradually fell silent.

The referee gestured for three free throws and then smacked the ball to Booker.

Booker took a deep breath and took two shots.

As a shooter, Booker's free throw technique and stability are excellent. Even if the shooting feel was not good before, his free throw percentage remained above 85%.

"Shua!"

There is no suspense in the first penalty, and it goes directly into the net.

The second penalty was similar, even just wiping the net a little bit.

At this moment, Green suddenly stretched out his hands to applaud, and then yelled twice to Aizeli who was opposite him.

This is obviously to interfere with Booker's free throw.

Booker's third free throw, he stabilized before shooting.

Still hollow into the net.

There were bursts of cheers and whistles.

All three free throws are equal to scoring another three-pointer!

Curry was stared down in the backcourt, and the sniper three-pointer in the backcourt hit the basket and missed, and the first quarter ended immediately.

Booker's 6 points in a row at the last moment were invaluable, helping the Nets narrow the point difference to 6 points.

This is an acceptable score for home fans.

And for them, Booker's recovery is even more important. After all, like Jokic, he represents not only the present, but also the future.

Back in the second quarter, both sides have made some adjustments in the lineup.

For the Warriors, Barbosa, Thompson, Iguodala, Green and Azeri.

For the Nets, Livingston, Booker, McGrady, West and Pralim.

Livingston took the ball to the front court. At this time, instead of giving the ball to West, he reached out and made a single-block tactic in the second position.

West and McGrady understood and continued to screen for Booker in pick-and-rolls.

Both Iguodala and Thompson's defenses are excellent, and Booker has no chance after a long circle.

However, this tactic restrained most of the Warriors' defensive attention. After West dismantled the ball and cut to the basket, Livingston had an outstanding vision and lobbed it directly. Score.

In the second quarter, the Nets took the lead in firing.

The Warriors attacked, and Thompson also used the screen to catch the ball. The Warriors did a better pick-and-roll than the Nets, and Thompson made a catch from the free throw line.

Shot speed and accuracy are close to perfect.

This is also what Tang Tian wants Booker to be at this stage.

Livingston pushed forward and made the same tactical gesture.

During this period, both teams are desperately making off-ball screens for their shooting guards. This is a mirror image attack!

Booker's running continued to contain the defense, but Green paid extra attention to West at this time, and followed up immediately when he saw him cut to the basket.

Livingston shook his hand to McGrady who was running back, and McGrady caught the ball and shot.

"boom!"

McGrady's mid-range shot missed, but Pralim rushed to grab the offensive rebound.

Aizeli came back at this time, Pralim's second attack was interfered, the shot was a bit buttery, and the ball slid out.

Fortunately, West killed at this time, jumped up and hit the ball into the basket.

The Nets scored in two consecutive rounds.

There were bursts of cheers at the scene, the Nets are about to take off!

Thompson missed a three-pointer when he came out to catch the ball. The Nets advanced to the frontcourt. Azeri accepted.

There was a burst of regret at the scene.

Tang Tian also frowned slightly. Pralim has a body and can watch defense, but the offense is a bit hot-eyed. This is also a common problem of most tall insiders. The base is unstable and they can't control their shots.

The Warriors counterattacked, and Iguodala's layup caused McGrady's thugs and two free throw opportunities.

There was a burst of disturbance at the scene.

Iguodala also cooperated enough to miss two free throws!

Pralim received the defensive rebound, Livingston advanced to the frontcourt and continued to play the second position.

The consecutive tactics were finally handed over to the inside to end, and the Warriors' defense naturally closed in.

At this moment, Booker seized the opportunity again, used West's pick-and-roll to cut in and then ran back to the three-point line. Green didn't keep up.

Livingston flicks the ball, and Booker catches and shoots.

This shot is very similar to Thompson before, fast and steady.

"Shua!"

With a crisp sound, the ball hit the net.

There were endless cheers and whistles at the scene.

This is Booker's second three-pointer in this game!

And he has scored 9 points!

This has completely swept away the haze of the past month or so!

Cole directly reached out and called a timeout.

In the second quarter, the Nets played a wave of 7-2. Now the score is 36-35. The Warriors' lead is only 1 point left!

In other words, under Booker's performance, the Nets chased 11 points in a row during the bench period!

Cole milked the Nets before the game, and now the game is really developing in the direction he said.

The Nets are really resilient!

Back from the timeout, Cole replaced both Bogut and Barnes. It can be seen that he is very dissatisfied with the team's offense at this stage.

For the Nets, Tang Tian also replaced Deron, Gordon and Jokic, but Booker was still left on the court by him.

The offensive and defensive intensity of both sides has been improved a lot after the main force came back, but the Nets chased 11 points in a row, and the momentum has already risen. With Booker's outside containment, the Nets did not lose the wind at all.

Barnes scored a three-pointer from the bottom corner here, and Gordon immediately responded back there.

Here Iguodala kills the inside, and West also makes a Bogut thug there.

The two sides came and went, and the audience was climaxed again and again.

At the end of halftime, the score on the court was 62.

After a half-time fierce battle, the two sides actually stood on the same starting line again.

This situation also made the New York fans at the scene very excited.

During the Warriors' 24-game winning streak, they basically spent halftime and clocked out of get off work in three quarters, but the Nets at least didn't spend this halftime.

And depending on the status and performance of the players, it was very difficult for the Warriors to clock in three quarters in the second half.

In other words, the fans suddenly realized after watching this half that they might really be the terminator of the Warriors' winning streak!
