Chapter 91: Two consecutive defeats
The Huaxia Forum was also full of discussions at this time.
"Li Mojie is really awesome, and he is not cowardly in the face of Pierce at all!"
"Alas, if only Mo Jie was a Chinese national!"
"Hehe, like Yao Ming, do you go back to China to play every day?"
......
Back in the game, PJ Tucker got the air cut ball from Li Mojie, and took two steps to the baseline and hit a step-back jumper!
"Oh!!" The Chinese fans present cheered.
Seeing that the Suns were on the rise, Jason Kidd, who had a very high ball IQ, immediately called a timeout.
"Slow down, everyone slow down, after all, there is a group of young men on the other side, full of energy, Paul, you have been playing for too long today, take a break. Reggie Evans, you go up to defend against that rookie champion, Sean, you're ready to make up for it at any time, and Sean can let go of Sessions when necessary. You know? Kevin, are you okay? You go up to play power forward, and the team still needs a veteran like you in the end! ”
On the Suns' side, Li Mojie picked up a white towel and wiped the sweat on his face, and then Middleton handed him a glass of Gatorade.
"94-89, still five points behind."
Li Mojie calculated the score difference in his heart and pursed his lips. The last game of being killed by Lillard is still vivid, and he doesn't want to lose this game.
"You can't lose in a row!" Li Mojie muttered to himself, and the accent of Hornacek's long stay in Salt Lake City came to his ears.
"Cheer up guys, look at the scoreboard on the field, it's only five points, you know guys, it's only 5 points, if it goes well, we can equalize the score with 2 attacks, everyone hold on, the opposite side is currently the bottom team in the East, we won't lose, believe in yourself!"
Li Mojie adjusted his breathing as he listened, and his arms were resting on his legs, so that he could feel less effort.
When the game fell into the most critical moment, the fans couldn't sit still, the cries in the Barclays Center arena grew louder and louder, and under the rendering of the environment, everyone's adrenaline began to soar, some cheering for the Nets and some cheering for the Suns.
At the end of the timeout, Li Mojie and others and everyone from the Nets returned to the court, and there were 8 minutes and 37 seconds left in the game.
The Nets tee off on the sideline, and Livingston advances with the ball.
Joe Johnson didn't feel good in this game, and as soon as halftime he began to block Livingston, who followed Joe Johnson's cover from 45 degrees to the inside.
The Nets quickly shrank their defense, and Livingston found that he didn't have the angle to shoot at all when he got to the stop, and he didn't panic and threw the ball to Garnett near the bottom corner.
THE 216CM GARNETT FACED THE 206CM MARCUS WITH A STRAIGHT ARM JUMPER, "HUH! 'Garnett didn't play a lot today, but he scored as soon as he got on the pitch.
"Fake, seven points behind." Li Mojie scolded secretly, this is where he is immature, at this time, he should forget about the points behind and chase them point by point, instead of playing a ball to see the score, which will only destroy his game mentality.
Sessions quickly dribbled across the halfcourt, swooped straight ahead of Livingston with his speed, and then missed a jumper with Lopez's help in defense.
Garnett picked up the rebound.
Livingston slowly dribbled across half court and then passed to Joe Johnson, who dribbled on the left side of the three-point line for about 14 or 15 seconds, stepped on the offense for 24 seconds to organize, and passed to Lopez, who missed the hook.
"Rebound!" This ball Li Mojie bravely went inside, grabbed the backcourt rebound, and then passed to Sessions. Sessions originally wanted to play a fast break but was stopped by Livingston, and he had no choice but to wait for the Suns to settle down before he organized the offense.
Sessions and Marcus made a pick-and-roll. Got the opportunity to assault the interior and pass to Gobert in the basket for the moment the Nets contracted their defense.
It's Gobert again, almost the same position. But this time it turned out differently.
"Smack!"
I can't tell whether I hit the ball or hit the ball, Lopez sees that it's wrong, and doesn't care about the three-seven-twenty-one basket.
"He's a hitter!" Gobert's eyes widened and he looked at the referee.
"Beep!" The referee did blow for a foul.
However, amid the cheers and boos of the fans at the Barclays Center, Gobert made one of two free throws and the rebound was picked up by Lopez.
Nets offense. Joe Johnson has his back to the ball.
PJ Tucker was stuck on Lee Mojie's waist, his knee bent against Joe Johnson's calf, and in the corner where the referee couldn't see, he grabbed Joe Johnson's clothes with his left hand.
"You bastard!" Joe Johnson is anxious, this unknown kid is not bad in the low post, the Suns are indeed full of talent at the moment.
"You don't want to score!" PJ Tucker squirted.
Joe Johnson saw that the defense was tough here, so he passed to Livingston.
Livingston also fell in the low post, but Sessions with his back to him did not have such a good low post defensive ability as PJ Tucker, Livingston received the ball with his back, turned to the right, then pulled back, paused, then turned back to the right, raised the ball over his head, his body was in the air, and shot "Wow!" "The ball obediently goes into the bag.
"The bastard." Ramon Sessions scolded, he finally felt why Bledsoe played so hard against Livingston in the first half, not to mention the 185CM Bledsoe, the 191CM himself also felt the same!
Originally, at the end of the third quarter, Suns fans were still very confident: at least the physical strength of the young people in the final moments should be ahead of the old people.
Unexpectedly, it was only 4 minutes before the end of the game, and the score did not mean to get closer in the slightest.
The Suns attacked, and Li Mojie faced Reggie Evans at this time, dribbling the ball under his crotch, and the basketball was exchanged from the right hand to the left hand, and then the body slammed into it, as if to break to the left.
But Reggie Evans hadn't played a minute in the previous three quarters, and his physical strength was not comparable to Li Mojie's rookie at all, and Li Mojie didn't get rid of Reggie Evans at all.
Li Mojie had no choice but to pull out his hand, "Duang!" The ball bounced out of the frame and was rebounded by Joe Johnson.
Looking back, the Nets almost ran out of 24 seconds, Robin Lopez hit a hook 2-pointer, and Hornacek called a timeout with a long sigh and replaced all the main players.
On the other side, Kidd was also shocked by Li Mojie's initial attack in a cold sweat, "Fortunately, I won." "The Nets can't afford to lose this game, the Nets themselves were 2-5 before the game, and if this game is lost to the Suns with the veterans like Pierce doing their best, then the Nets' spirit will really be gone.
After the Nets tacitly replaced all the main players, it was declared that the game had entered garbage time. In the end, the Suns lost to Brooklyn 95-100 and suffered two consecutive defeats.
