Chapter 677: 24 Consecutive Victories (3/3!) )

103-96, the Nets finally reversed the Raptors on the road to win the game.

Delon had a team-high 27 points and seven assists, Jokic chipped in 17 points, 11 rebounds and five assists, Yi Jianlian and Butler also scored 16 points each, and off the bench, Gordon had 18 points and three assists, and Maddie had 14 points and three boards.

Booker played 9 minutes, shot 0-of-5 and ate duck eggs for the first time in his career.

After the game, Tang Tian and Frank sat down and had a good chat about Booker.

Booker's talent is undeniable, and his outstanding performance on the offensive end at the beginning of the season will make people, including Tang Tian, feel like a second Thompson.

The problem now is Booker's mentality, and although the team has a psychological assistant, it is not a matter of time to adjust back.

Frank's suggestion was to play Booker off the bench and learn more off the court, and he also cited the example of Kobe Bryant and Arenas, two great scorers who had been on the bench early in their careers.

Arenas, in particular, is known to the Warriors for not using him heavily, but no one is going to analyze what he's learned on the bench, in addition to technique and tactics, and patience.

Tang Tian took Frank's suggestion, but he still wanted to check again.

Booker's mentality affected his performance, and when he pulled it down, I don't know if his confidence will collapse even more.

After the Nets finished their game with the Raptors, they played against the Spurs, Suns, Heat, Bulls and Mavericks one after another.

Playing the Spurs, Booker continued to slump, scoring only 3 points and 1 assist on 1-of-3 shooting.

Against the Suns, Booker picked up, scoring 15 points and three assists on 6-of-11 shooting.

Against the Heat, Booker was lost again, scoring only 4 points and 2 assists on 1-of-6 shooting.

Challenging the Bulls, Booker played well, scoring 8 points on 3-of-7 shooting, but also had as many as 3 turnovers.

In the face of the Mavericks, Booker's performance did not pick up either, and he scored 2 points on free throws on 0-of-3 shooting.

After such a game, the Nets' record was only 2-3, and Tang Tian also realized that Booker's psychological problems were bigger than he thought.

After the game against the Mavericks, he took Booker to his office alone.

"Devin, I discussed with the coaching staff, I will temporarily remove you from the top, don't be discouraged, I still believe in you."

Booker was favored by Tang Tian and single-handedly selected, and he was cultivated as a cornerstone, Tang Tian naturally didn't want him to really fall like this.

If the final fight was not as good as in the previous life, then this would be Tang Tian's first teaching material that failed in cultivation.

But to his surprise, Booker breathed a sigh of relief, as if all the pressure was removed at once.

"Keep working hard and being competitive, you're going to have to compete with Taylor, with Bojan, for playing time." Tang Tian thought he was a little deflated, and reminded again.

"I will, Coach." Booker nodded, a hint of confidence in his eyes.

Tang Tian didn't say anything more.

Gordon is in better shape than he expected, and he has won all aspects except for the slower shooting speed than Booker, which is not necessarily a bad thing for the Nets who are aiming to win the championship.

Once it's settled, it's settled, Tang Tian announced the news during the next day's training.

Gordon didn't say anything, but he could still see excitement in his eyes.

Although diligent, who doesn't want to fight.

To Tang Tian's surprise, Booker had a positive attitude in training, and he did not show frustration because he was removed, but behaved very positively.

After a two-day break, the Nets host the Warriors for the first meeting of the season.

The Nets have had a recent upsurge and now have a 16-7 record, which is third in the East behind the Cavaliers and Raptors.

The Warriors have shown unprecedented strength this season, after beating the Pelicans by 40 points in the first game, they won consecutive games, Curry played comparable to Michael Jordan, and "clocking out in the third quarter" has become the royal term of the Warriors.

So far, they have won 24 in a row, and they are heading for a league record of 33 straight wins.

It's definitely a challenge to play against an opponent like that, not to mention that the Nets aren't at their best.

The only good news is that this is a back-to-back game for the Warriors, and the Nets will have some physical advantage.

After Cole arrived in Brooklyn, he did not forget his habit and gave his old boss Tang Tian a mouthful of milk.

"Don is the greatest coach I've ever met, Jokic is one of the most talented interior players I've ever seen, and Delon is also a Hall of Fame-caliber point guard, and we're likely to lose here."

Cole's milk has come to its peak this season, and he always likes to milk his opponents before the game, but he can always lead the team to the final victory.

Fans are used to this kind of behavior.

However, with a 24-game winning streak, to say so, in the eyes of Brooklyn fans, it is somewhat embarrassing.

This is one of the reasons why the Warriors are hated by many fans.

Because the opponent was the Warriors and because they felt provoked, although it was only a regular season game, New York fans still gathered at the Barclays Center Arena early, ready to cheer for the home team.

"It's not going to be an easy game, we're going to be dogs, we're playing at home, we're challengers, we might lose, but it's our home, we're probably standing up, but we're not going to lie down!"

"Nets!"

"Victory!"

In the locker room before the game, Tang Tian also cheered for his players in his own way.

Curry's form this season is too bad for the Warriors, and the Nets are not in the best shape right now, so it's really hard to win.

But Tang Tian didn't admit defeat in his dictionary, and he didn't allow his team members to have it.

At the opening ceremony, the cheers were deafening, and the fans in New York were enthusiastic.

Amid the cheers of the fans, players from both sides were introduced one after another.

On the Warriors' side, Curry and Thompson on the outside, Barnes and Draymond Green on the front, and Bogut at center.

The lineup is not much different from last season, but Curry is not the Curry of the past.

On the Nets' side, the outside is a combination of Deron and Gordon, the front line is Butler and Yi Jianlian, and the center Jokic.

There was a slight commotion when the lineup came out, as it was Gordon's first appearance of the season.

Such an adjustment, I don't know if it is Tang Tian's big move.

However, the commotion quickly died down, Booker's current performance is really bad, and playing Gordon, who is in better shape, also gives the Nets a better chance of winning.

Yi Jianlian and Bogut's jump ball, the two were teammates when they were teammates with the Bucks, and they met again as teammates at this time.

Bogut grabbed the jump time and flicked the ball back into the Warriors half, with the visitors taking the lead.

Curry took the ball and pushed forward, and the Nets stepped back.

But at this moment, two meters away from the three-point line, he saw DeLong turning around to remind the players behind him of the position, he pulled it up and threw it directly.
