Chapter 310 The so-called LC
The Nets called a timeout, and two bench players took Kevin Garnett down.
The former wolf king was too sad, and the game only lasted for a minute, so it went on.
However, this is not too surprising, because Kevin Garnett is not in good health and has been plagued by injuries in recent seasons. Even this season, there was a precedent for him to miss games due to injury in the early stages.
The game could not have been stopped due to Kevin Garnett's injury, with Andre Brache coming on in place of Kevin Garnett. The timeout ends and the game continues.
The Nets' ball possession, Deron Williams also felt a burst of depression, the game only played for a minute, and he broke a big player, I just hope that Kevin Garnett is not a major injury, and he can play after a while.
Deron Williams roamed the ball around the top of the arc with a back pass and the ball was given to Johnson. Maddie was blocked by Paul Pearce, and Johnson made a jumper, but Chen Feng reacted very quickly and pounced on Johnson when he was shooting, although it did not block Johnson's shot, but interfered with his shooting. So, Johnson's jumper hit the rails, and Derrick Favors protected the backcourt rebound.
Popovich was pleased to see Chen Feng's performance, after more than two seasons of training, Chen Feng's control of the game has become more and more mature.
Whether it's attacking or defending, he's done really well. People are often amazed by Chen Feng's offense and passing, but they often ignore Chen Feng's defense. Chen Feng not only has excellent individual defensive ability, but also does a very good job of assisting defense.
Just for Johnson's help. It was impossible for Chen Feng to be able to do so before, but with Chen Feng's current experience in the game, he is already familiar with this aspect.
Prior to this game, the Nets had not played for three days, so the players were very energetic.
Although they are a strong defensive team, in this game, they actually used offense-oriented tactics and classic blocking, which was repeatedly seen in their offense, and Paul Pierce even pulled to the free throw line. Constantly blocking the difference for other players. And he also became a delivery station for the whole team, keeping the ball for a long time, constantly sending the ball to the Spurs' weak side of the defense, coupled with Deron Williams' mercury-like passing. Let the Nets' offensive power be maximized.
Nets players are constantly attacking the Spurs' basket. Give the Spurs players physical strength. Quickly consumed in a swift run.
After all, on both offensive and defensive ends, offensive players are more dominant, especially the Nets' style of play. Let the nerves of the Spurs players be tense every moment, they have to judge the next passing point of the Nets players, the purpose of the offensive players is very clear, they only need to find the best route, and the Spurs players need to constantly judge the next step of the opponent, which is naturally indispensable A lot of useless work.
Under the mobilization of Deron Williams, the Nets played a wave of 7:2 mini-climax.
Chen Feng has two Nets players on his side to defend at any time, making every move very difficult for him, and Duncan on the inside is also uncomfortable, as long as he catches the ball, there will be two players to defend immediately.
At a time when Chen Feng and Duncan were both in a dilemma, the Spurs urgently needed a third player to lead the Spurs' offense.
At this time, Leonard reflected his value, and the so-called LC combination refers to Leonard and Chen Feng.
Leonard received a pass from Chen Feng, singled Paul Pierce, turned and shook off Paul Pierce, and then rushed into the Nets' restricted area, jumped high, and came up with an extremely domineering and exciting tomahawk-style dunk.
Leonard's dunk immediately ignited the passion of the Spurs.
The Nets missed the offense, Chen Feng picked up the defensive rebound, and then handed a long pass to Maddie and Leonard, who were already on the verge of going down.
Maddie and Leonard teamed up, and the latter scored an easy dunk.
At 10:11, the Spurs trailed by 1 point.
Paul Pierce broke down the middle and then slipped the ball straight to Andre Bradge on the inside. The latter made a direct pick-up, but was capped by Derrick Favors, and Lopez grabbed the offensive rebound, but did not attack himself, but distributed it to Deron Williams on the outside.
However, as the ball was passed to Deron Williams, a gust of wind passed in front of Delon Williams and cut the ball away.
It was Chen Feng who broke the ball, after breaking the ball, Chen Feng dribbled all the way down, he was in the middle, Leonard on the left, and Maddie on the right.
Johnson and Deron Williams have defended themselves in their own half, and the situation is now that the Spurs are two-on-three. Chen Feng did not stop outside the Nets' three-point line, but kept rushing to the Nets restricted area. Deron Williams could only stick to Chen Feng and not give Chen Feng a chance to attack. Maddie and Leonard are on either side, so there's always one person who will be free.
After Chen Feng rushed into the Nets' restricted area, he threw the ball directly and gave the ball to Maddie on the right side. It was Maddie who was vacant, and Maddie Young made a three-point shot, and with a "bang", the ball went in.
At this moment, many Maddie's fans even shed tears of excitement, their pride came back again, although it is no longer No. 1, although it is not as domineering as the original scoring champion, but Maddie has become more mature after the lead fades, he is now the main substitute of the Spurs, and now he is a cameo starter, and he can average nearly eight points per game in the season, which makes many old wheat tears of excitement.
The Spurs completed the fast-break in six seconds.
At 13:11, the Spurs took a two-point lead.
The Nets attacked, and Deron Williams controlled the ball to organize the offense, passing the ball to Johnson after halftime.
After Johnson received the ball, Maddie immediately posted it.
Johnson singled Maddy, took advantage of Paul Pearce's cover, got rid of Maddy's defense, and then made an open jumper that made a graceful arc in mid-air and floated into the basket.
The Spurs attacked, Maddy held the ball to organize the offense, and in the face of Johnson's defense, Maddy looked calm and ended the Spurs' offense with a pull-up jumper.
Deron Williams made a clever pass to Andre Blache, who missed a layup but grabbed an offensive rebound. The rebound was missed, but it caused a foul on Tim Duncan's beater.
Andre Blach misses the first free throw. The Spurs replaced Tim Duncan with Boris Dior and Andre Blach hit a second free throw.
Chen Feng attacked with the ball, and when he passed, he was interfered with by Deron Williams, and there was a mistake, and the ball was cut off by Paul Pearce. The Nets launched a fast break, but it didn't work, and Leonard picked up a defensive rebound.
Leonard dribbled the ball past half court and then passed the ball to Chen Feng. Chen Feng organized the offense, broke through with the ball, a crossover threw Deron Williams aside, and then jumped to shoot, "bang", the ball hit the iron, Derrick Favors scrambled for the offensive rebound, and distributed the ball to Leonard on the outside, who set up a three-point shot, and the ball hollowed into the net!
Deron Williams took advantage of the cover of teammate Paul Pierce and also shot a three-pointer from the left wing, but missed, and Boris Dior protected the defensive rebound.
Chen Feng broke through with the ball, used his speed advantage to get rid of Deron Williams' defense, and then rushed to the basket, attacked the basket, and made a layup.
Before Leonard's outburst, the Nets obviously strengthened their defense against Leonard, but this did make Maddie and Chen Feng a lot easier.
Under the combined outbreak of Chen Feng, Maddy and Leonard, the Spurs launched a wave of 9:3 attacks, which instantly extended the lead.
At this time, Nets head coach Kidd called a timeout.
After the timeout, the line-ups of both teams changed on the field.
Spurs: Boris Dio, Jordan Hill, Wesley Johnson, Ginobili and Mills;
Both teams seemed to be more obsessed with offense in the first quarter, but it was clear that the Spurs were better offensively, and they were just as good defensively.
The Nets' offense is very monotonous, except for Andre Blatche's score on the inside, only Johnson has a better shooting percentage on the outside.
However, under the help of Wesley Johnson, Johnson did not have many opportunities to shoot, after hitting a mid-range jumper and a three-pointer in a row after the timeout, in the next two minutes, Johnson only relied on free throws to score 2 points, and the other three shots were all missed.
With 11:11 left in the first quarter, the Nets trailed the Spurs by nine points at 21:30. Before the game was over in the first quarter, the Spurs opened up such a big gap, and Kidd was extremely depressed.
Kidd reluctantly called another timeout, ready to adjust his tactics, and he really wasn't Popovich's opponent for control of the game.
He understands now that he is really not a good coach, when he was a player, he was an old demon, but when he was a coach, he was really a rookie.
However, the overall performance of the Nets inside today was not very good, except for Andre Bracch's performance, the other interior players did not perform very well.
During this timeout, the Spurs made some changes to the lineup, Jordan Hill replaced Boris Dio, Leonard replaced Wesley Johnson, and the two players who came off the court performed well just now, and the reason why Popovich replaced them off the court was to give them enough rest to ensure that there was enough impact for the whole game.
The Spurs' substitutions did not have a great impact on their offense, and with Leonard on the court, Popovich naturally had nothing to worry about. (To be continued......)
