The Raptors' offense missed, and Jokic continued to hold the ball outside the three-point line in the frontcourt.

This time, the Raptors are really a little overwhelmed, especially Valanciunas, he is not a big center to go out, and it is not to go out.

Kessie made a choice on the sidelines as head coach at this time, allowing Valanciunas to continue to retreat near the free-throw line.

The center's three-point shot can't be killed, at least as a rookie should be.

Jokic made another three-pointer.

"Huh!"

After throwing the feeling, his second shot was more accurate than the previous round, and he went directly into the net!

10-10, the Nets tied the score directly!

Casey reached out and called a timeout.

There was a burst of excited shouts from the Nets players, especially Jokic, who was touched and high-fived by his teammates, as if he had picked up a treasure.

Tang Tian is also in a good mood, although Jokic can't keep this feeling all the time, but after scoring 2 three-pointers in a row, the Raptors' defense will definitely change, which is good news for the Nets.

Sure enough, after the timeout, Casey replaced Aamir Johnson with Louis Williams, directly using a big and four small lineup.

Louis Williams can shoot and burst, and when he comes up, he bursts Bogdan Bogdanovic by one.

At 12-10, the Raptors took the lead again.

Delon dribbled to the front court and gave the ball to Jokic.

But at this moment, Amir Johnson was close to Jokic, and other players followed closely with his defender.

Although there is no big center, relying on speed, the Raptors' defensive intensity is significantly higher than before.

The Nets' offense was restrained again, but fortunately there was Delon on the court, who ran over to ask for the ball from Jokic, and after signaling the other players to pull away, he let Yi Jianlian fall low and give the ball in.

In one big and four small, the big forward position is generally more capable of carrying, such as Green of the Warriors this season, Tucker of the Thunder last season, etc., are all this type of players, but DeRozan is obviously not.

Casey, one big and four small, still hasn't learned the essence of Tang Tian.

Yi Jianlian caught the ball and hit DeRozan with his back, and after eating the opponent two steps with his strength, he turned and leaned back to the baseline.

DeRozan couldn't get up, and the interference was limited.

"Huh!"

Yi Jianlian sent the ball into the basket steadily.

He played the main team in the Rockets for 4 years, and played as a starter in the Cavaliers for 2 years, and his own strength has improved a lot, not to mention that after returning to Tang Tian, the ball quotient will go back, and it is still very stable to play DeRozan in a dislocation.

The Nets tied the score again.

The fans at the scene couldn't sit still, whether they wanted to or not, after going down 0-6 in the opening game, the Nets had eased up and began to stalemate with the Raptors.

This is completely different from the Nets they played against a week ago, and I don't know what magical magic Tang Tian used, this first game made the Nets have such a big change.

After playing a few rounds in a row, DeRozan was eaten raw by Yi Jianlian, which also affected his feel on the offensive end.

When the first quarter reached more than 8 minutes, 22-16, the Nets led the Raptors by 6 points!

Fortunately, at this time, it was already time to be substituted, and both sides entered the rotation one after another.

Tang Tian replaced Joe Johnson and Lopez back into the game.

Joe Johnson's performance after playing is still not very good, it can be seen that he is a bit of a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water, after the first quarter, Tang Tian directly let Moore replace his rotation in the second quarter.

But Lopez is ashamed and brave, he played very well in this section, his strength on the offensive end itself is quasi-All-Star level, and he is still very sure of playing the Raptors' bench.

When the main team came back in the second quarter, the Nets stretched the margin to double digits.

Frank was stunned as he watched from the sidelines, this is simply the way Tian Ji races horses.

The fans at the scene were already a little restless, and it was a depressing feeling to be so suppressed by the Nets, who had lost 10 in a row.

Instead of playing a big or four lineup at this time, Casey made a change of defense, letting Amir Johnson stick to Jokic and let Valanciunas guard the basket.

Amir Johnson's confrontation is very good, and Jokic really doesn't necessarily move, but in this way, Yi Jianlian's opportunity is here again.

DeLong assisted Yi Jianlian to shoot in a row, a mid-range and a three-pointer, and the difference came to 15 points, stopping the Raptors again.

Casey was anxious, and he was completely suppressed by his old boss.

Tang Tian is relatively calm, this game is like this, it has a lot to do with Casey's big and four small self-messing formations, and aside from this level, Jokic is the point that turns the situation around.

Although there were not many points, rebounds and assists, his presence disrupted the Raptors' defensive system, which was followed by Yi Jianlian's excellent play.

In other words, that's why Jokic can be a cornerstone player.

At least he has the talent for it.

DeRozan recovered in the second half and hit consecutive shots to help the Raptors chase points, but after Simmons drove him outside the three-point line, the Raptors' momentum of chasing points was also contained.

At 108-98, the Nets finally contained the Raptors' comeback and ended a 10-game losing streak.

DeRozan scored 29 points and 11 rebounds in the air and failed to lead the team to win the game.

On the Nets' side, Yi Jianlian ushered in an explosion, and he contributed a game-high 30 points on 11-of-19 shooting, plus 9 rebounds and 2 blocks, playing his best game so far this season.

Delon had 16 points and nine assists, Lopes had 14 points, six rebounds and two assists, Bogdan Bogdanovic had 12 points and Will Barton had nine points and three boards.

Jokic played a season-high 30 minutes, shooting 4-of-7, including two three-pointers, plus 3-of-4 free throws, for 13 points, six rebounds and four assists.

There aren't many points, rebounds, or assists, but his impact on the situation on the court is visible to the naked eye.

After the game, the Nets players were shouting and shouting with excitement, and it felt like winning a championship.

However, Tang Tian knew how they felt, or he had foreseen it before.

Ending a 10-game losing streak and winning against an opponent who had lost by 30 points at home was enough to boost the team's morale by a big bit.

After the celebration was over, Tang Tian pulled Jokic and said some words of encouragement.

Those two 3-pointers in Jokic's opening game were really pivotal and almost decided the game.

However, after saying words of encouragement, he also said some words of cold water.

"You won't be able to keep that level of accuracy all the time, so keep being patient, keep improving, and you'll get to a higher defensive intensity, a more targeted defense, and there's a lot to learn, so keep a positive and hard-working mentality."

Jokic nodded vigorously, whether it was the chicken soup encouragement he gave him when he was the boss at the beginning of the season, or the reminder and training for him now, he could feel Tang Tian's reliance on him, he couldn't ask himself to meet Tang Tian's requirements at once, but he would try to do it.
