Auden stretched out his long arm and flew into the cover, almost making another big mistake.
"Bang!"
The ball dodged the block, but the angle was ridiculously wide and it hit the right edge of the basket and bounced high.

It was then that Mitchell showed off his superb physicality, using his waist and abdomen power in the air to make a noticeable dodge and adjust to throw the ball before it fell.
"Bang!"
The ball was very difficult, and the ball slammed into the front of the basket because of insufficient strength, but then flipped in again.

Tatum played against Tucker, Tucker went all out to defend at this time, as a player who relied on defense to eat, after being scored continuously by a rookie, he really couldn't hang his face.

Tucker's flying block interfered, reaching out to completely block Tatum's view.
"Bang!"
The ball was finally defended.
Oden turned and picked up the defensive rebound.
One offense, one defense, the Nets played in a row, and the momentum of the home court was mobilized.
"Come on, Nets!"
Led by DJs, the fans cheered loudly for the home team.

Rozier's three-point goal in the front court was missed, Morris grabbed a long rebound to Tatum, Tatum received the ball and faked a shot to shake off Tucker, and flew to the basket with the ball to cause Oden's hitter.
In the face of boos, Tatum made both free throws.
After coming up in the second quarter, he scored all four of the Celtics' points.
The difference is still 3 points.
Rondo held the ball to the front again, and this time he directly signaled the team's tactics of running to the No. 2 position.
Rondo's assists and command skills are among the best in the league, and he is nicknamed "Coach Long" on the field.
Oden and Tucker back-to-back pick-and-rolls off the ball, and Mitchell came out on cover.
Before he could get out, Rondo had already shaken the ball.
It was a pass with an advance amount, and as soon as Mitchell ran to the position, he raised his hand to receive the ball.
At this time, Tatum, who changed the defense, was a meter away from him.
He didn't hesitate to catch the ball and shot directly.
Tatum's flying block, but a little bit.
The ball flew past Tatum's fingertips and spun towards the basket.
"Huh!"
There was a crunch.

Stevens called a timeout.
When Mitchell got off the court, he waved his hands directly to signal the audience to cheer louder, and the atmosphere was so exciting.
They haven't seen such a high-profile rookie in years, but they really love this little guy to death!
Tang Tian looked at Mitchell and shook his head with a smile.
Mitchell's personality is very superstar-like, but being overly high-profile will make him targeted early.
But he's now scored seven points in a row, and who cares.
After the pause, both sides switched to the main force one after another.
The difference in points on the court in the past three minutes did not move, because of Mitchell's play, Tang Tian's idea of attacking against attacking in the past worked.
