The Cavaliers' offense, James slammed George, and Butler came over to help defend and directly caused an offensive foul on James.

George got up and pulled Butler up, and Butler shouted excitedly when he got up.

George was blocked by Love in defense, James scored on a breakaway layup, and Butler saw the past and communicated with him.

In the offense, Yi Jianlian and George played together, and the latter scored three points from the outside.

George was a couple of two in the second half and could feel that with the help of his team-mates, he really integrated into the team.

Although there are still some undeserved mistakes on the field because of the tacit understanding, I can feel that he is invested, not playing as he has always kept before.

Seeing the changes on the field, Tang Tian was in a better mood, but he couldn't help muttering: This guy is itchy skin? I knew that I would have scolded him earlier, but it has dragged on until now.

George's resurgence gave the Nets a strong performance on the court, and they erased the deficit in the third quarter.

However, Delong was not in bad shape just after leaving Tang Tian, coupled with James's bravery, the two teams played until the last moment.

This time, George played a positive role at the critical moment, he defended James's strong attack, and then misplaced and stealed Lefou's back hit, and the two sides played to a hard draw when they reached the last ten meters.

At the critical moment, Tang Tian chose to hand the ball to Owen, and Owen singled out Delong in the frontcourt.

Continuous footwork shaking, crotch and turning between the march, Owen's style of play is called flashy by many people, but he has full control of the ball, and it looks really sassy.

When Owen was in the Cavaliers, his singles were what Tang Tian needed to focus on, and now that Owen has become his player, it is the Cavaliers' turn to have a headache.

Deron couldn't keep up with his footsteps, and the last-minute block didn't completely seal Irving.

Irving makes a step-back jumper after dribbling.

"Huh!"

The ball hits the whistle and falls into the net bag.

After a tight battle, Irving finally finished the match with a stunner.

Irving's ability to play key balls has long been proven, and this time he lived up to expectations.

The scene boiled.

The Nets players rushed to Irving's side and yelled, one more excited than the other.

George is also fitting in, and for the first time since coming to the Nets, he couldn't be more excited about the team's win.

This victory is crucial for the Nets, even more significant than playing the Warriors or the Rockets, or even the Celtics, because the Cavaliers were the recognized superior side in the original trade, but in the end, the Nets won the game, and it was Irving's stunner.

Owen was also excited, his summer hard work was to prove himself again, and this lore made him slash his old club and fly up.

At the post-game press conference, a reporter asked George what the reason for the change in the second half was.

"I realized I was a Nets guy." George's answer is intriguing.

The reporters below looked at each other, and some of the quick reactions began to mourn for the Lakers.

The Lakers refused to pay a big chip to get George in the summer, and planned to sign George naked next summer, and the team's new general manager "Magic" Johnson also received a huge fine from the league for commenting on George.

But George's current statement makes all this less certain, and the 500,000 fine is about to be wasted.

George's form was not short-lived, and under the leadership of Butler and Yi Jianlian, he gradually truly integrated into the team.

In the face of questions from outside reporters, although he has been avoiding the magic of where to go next season, he also talked more about the Nets and his teammates.

"We're just going to make it for the championship."

"Jimmy is the best teammate and I'd love to play with him for the rest of my career."

"We're getting better and better, and we're confident we can beat the Warriors."

……

Words like these are not only reassuring to New York fans, but also like needles in the hearts of Lakers fans.

And along with these changes in mentality is his performance on the field.

In eight games in October, the Nets had a 5-3 record.

But heading into November, the Nets have an 8-2 record in their last 10 games, starting with the game against the Cavaliers.

The 13-5 record allowed them to rush from the original fourth place in the East to the second place in the East, and they were only one win away from the first place Cavaliers.

George's core stats have not changed much, from the original 17.7 points and 4.6 rebounds to 18.6 points and 5.3 rebounds, but other statistics, the shooting rate has increased from the original 43% to 48%, and the three-point shooting rate has also exceeded 40% to 40.3%.

The biggest change is his steal stats, which have increased from 0.6 to 1.5 per game, which is infinitely close to his career average.

This shows that he has adjusted to the best of his ability.

Irving is bent on proving himself, the veteran players of the Nets are also holding back their strength to take revenge on the Warriors, and with George, who has adjusted his condition, the Nets have finally run in the expected state after nearly two months.

Before you know it, it's Christmas, and the Nets have just played an eight-game winning streak.

They will face the old rivals Celtics, who have lost before.

The players were dissatisfied with the last loss, and this time in their home stadium, they are all holding back their strength to win back.

The atmosphere at the Barclays Centre was full of Christmas, coinciding with the festive season and the Christmas game, and the fans were all smiles on their faces.

If you can witness a victory at home, it will definitely be a blessing of joy.

In the cheers of the audience, the starters of both sides appeared one after another.

On the Nets' side, there are regular starters, Irving and Butler on the outside, George and Yi Jianlian on the front, and Jokic at center.

On the Celtics side, Thomas Jr. has been out for January due to a hip injury, and the current starting point guard is Marcus Smart, scoring guard Jaylen Brown, small forward Hayward, power forward Horford, and center Aaron Baines.

Yi Jianlian jumped first for the Nets.

Irving received the ball and quickly advanced to the frontcourt, wanting to play the Celtics to see that his footing was unstable, but Smart was very clever and stuck to Irving early, and the rest of the Celtics also stood in defensive positions.

Although it is not very strong on paper, the defense of the Green Shirts under Stevens is really not bad at all.

Jokic at the top of the circle.

When Thomas Jr. was there, it was an obvious breakthrough, but the Celtics are now on the court, not to mention the offense, the defense is really impregnable, George and Irving have no chance to intersperse in a row, and Jokic's final breakthrough layup with the ball did not score.

Tang Tian turned his head and saw Stevens, who was standing on the sidelines at the beginning of the game to remind the players to defend, this old subordinate of his really wanted to win him.
