One-two-four communication
The Nets played really hard today!
The whole squad tried to do their thing, including Horn himself, who even surpassed himself today, playing master passes, but they were still behind.
This gap is particularly uncomfortable for the Nets, which is more uncomfortable than failure, which is the pain of trying your best but not reaching the other side.
This pain should be tried by anyone! We have clearly exhausted all our strength, but we can still only fail. My own strength is so small, and this painful feeling is a feeling of hopelessness.
That's the case with the Nets at the moment, and by the end of the third quarter, their entire spirit was going to be destroyed.
Horn is also feeling very tired at this time, and today Anthony and Smith were both perfect on the offensive end, absolutely perfect.
The Knicks' defense is also very good, and under Woodson's **, the Knicks' defense is not only strong and targeted, but also very good.
Very sharp offense, well-targeted defense, the Nets face this kind of team, and there is a 16-point difference, and it really feels a little breathless.
Horn returned to the court in the fourth quarter, facing the Knicks' targeted defense, and the Knicks pressed Horn in different positions.
Horn is really a little crazy at this time, how to do it! There are interference in their own shooting, there are artificial fouls in their own breakthroughs, and the offense of passing teammates is also unstable.
How?
Horn's mind was full of doubt, and at this time he glanced back at the little general who was on the sidelines.
The little general's thinking is limited so that he can't design offensive tactics, is his own thinking also limited?
Confined? Horn thought of the word at this time, and suddenly it suddenly dawned on him.
I am indeed limited, who has stipulated that this situation must be broken by TMD? I still have teammates! You can ask your teammates for help and seek cooperation with your teammates, basketball is a basketball of five people, not a basketball of one person.
Horn thought of this, and immediately shouted at Williams.
"Williams, help me get you to the low post!"
Williams was also running out of ideas at this time, and he immediately jumped to the low position of the card owner.
Horn passed the ball directly to Williams on the outside, Williams was strong, and taller than Felton, and when he got the ball in this position, Williams almost forced the rhythm of crushing.
Williams turned and hit a shot with a throw, and Horn found a break from here.
It's not enough to be good offensively, and the defense has to be able to hold on to it overnight because the Nets are now behind.
Horn naturally couldn't defend the entire Knicks team alone, and at this time, Horn and the borrowed Henry Foss coordinated the defense, and the three of them clarified some details.
Gerrard will team up with Horn to defend Anthony, and Henry Foss will help Stevenson defend J.R. Smith.
The Nets have slightly adapted their defense, which doesn't seem obvious, but the pressure on the Knicks players has increased significantly.
Smith came up with a mid-range miss, and the Nets played Horn or passed the ball to Williams who went to the low post.
Williams beat Felton with the ball, and Williams has already played like this, so at this time, the Knicks' attention is on Williams.
At this time, Horn got under the Knicks' basket like a fish, Williams passed the ball to Horn, and Horn quickly sneaked to the basket.
The Nets stole 4 points in a row, and the Knicks didn't have any reaction yet! The Knicks still played as usual in the Nets' half, but as soon as Anthony got the ball, Horn and Wallace immediately doubled up.
Anthony is also human! The defense changed all of a sudden, and he was definitely not used to it, and he took the ball and forced a shot without hitting a single one.
The Knicks played well before, but now they have problems, and the Knicks also have shortcomings, and when Kidd is not on the court, the Knicks lack strain.
At this time, the Knicks were still very numb, and Horn took advantage of this opportunity to run over and discuss with Williams and said: "Man, when you hold the ball, I will run around you, and when I hold the ball, you also come over and cut in the air, the two of us take turns to cut and run, there is a chance to attack, there is no chance to pass!" ”
Williams nodded, and Horn went back to communicate with the rest of his teammates.
After good communication, when Horn got the ball again, he was not alone, and Williams took the initiative to come over and run around Horn.
Williams doesn't run much, and although he came out of the Jazz, he is quite stingy with his strength when it comes to running off the ball. However, Williams has a big goal, and he is moving around Horn, and JR Smith will have to pay due attention.
When Smith went to pay attention to Williams, Horn dribbled to Smith's side and took a step beyond the three-point line.
If it was Kidd who defended quickly, but Smith wasn't that experienced and meticulous, he didn't move.
Horn got a very good 3-point opportunity here, and he didn't hesitate to raise his hand and throw a three-pointer.
"Whoosh!"
"Brush!"
Horn's three-point shot actually hit, Horn has not shot a three-point shot this season, and he shot both points very carefully, and at this critical moment, Horn made a three-point shot.
The atmosphere on the court immediately changed, because the Nets scored 7 points in a row, and the difference was suddenly reduced to within 10 points.
Woodson hurriedly called a timeout, but Woodson didn't even notice what was happening on the court, and the score was over.
When Woodson called a timeout, Horn hurriedly stopped his teammates and continued to communicate with his teammates.
"Guys, let's just run and attack. Do a few more runs, pull away and we'll have a chance and we'll win today's derby.' As long as I have the confidence and perseverance to do it! ”
"Wallace, let's defend Anthony, but don't wrap it up, you can be on my side, I'll defend his shots, you go and stop him from breaking through to the middle, we can force him to go to the sideline!"
The young general had a lot to say to his players before, but now that Horn communicates so well with everyone, he doesn't want to talk anymore.
This state is great! The little general suddenly felt a lot more pleasing to the eye when he looked at Horn, who brought organization, offense, and now communication.
At the end of the timeout, the Knicks were still so offensive, Anthony took the ball up to face Horn and played more fiercely, took the ball with his left hand and dribbled a step, and then immediately turned his back to the right side and passed.
Horn was indeed passed by Anthony, but Wallace on the other side blocked Anthony, and Anthony missed a difficult shot from Wallace.
