Chapter 169: Kiki Vanderweg's Brainstorm
Chapter 169: Kiki Vanderweg's Brainstorm
Here, Yi Jian couldn't connect with the ball, so Lopez could only choose to attack by himself, but David Lee had already predicted his shot. The slap was taken down.
Seeing that the Knicks were about to launch another counterattack, Lopez could only hug David Lee and choose to foul.
No way, Lopez is a slow big man, he can't keep up with the Knicks' fast break, once the Knicks launch a counterattack, it will be five on four.
But the Nets entered the rhythm of the Knicks in the first quarter.
After the first quarter, the score was 34:19.
The Knicks took a 15-point lead in the first quarter.
Yi Jianlian felt hot in the first quarter. He made 5 of 7 shots and scored 10 points. After that, Yi Jianlian's two shots were interfered by Lian Dao, so he missed.
This is why the Knicks extended the score advantage to 15 points in one fell swoop.
At the beginning of the second quarter, Lian Dao still led the bench lineup. After the game in December, D'Antoni also confirmed Lian Dao's rotation. Rest, harvest the game in the second half of the third quarter, if it fails, there will be physical strength to fight again in the fourth quarter.
The head coach of the Nets here, Kiki Vandeweghe, saw that Lian Dao was still leading the bench, so he knew the Knicks' arrangement, so he first put Yi Jianlian on the bench and replaced him with Bobby Simon s.
In this way, when Lian Dao was resting in the third quarter, Yi Jianlian, who was full of energy, could be replaced on the court to chase points.
But only if they can withstand the impact of the Knicks in the second quarter.
In the second quarter, the Knicks mainly played defensive counterattacks. Milicic continued to physically confront Lopez, which made Lopez very uncomfortable every time he shot.
On the first ball at the beginning of the second quarter, Lopez made a mid-range shot, but was interfered by Milicic and missed a mid-range shot. Millsap took the lead and received a rebound on Bobby Simmons' head.
Then Millsap quickly handed the ball to Lian Dao, Lian Dao received the ball and turned around to advance. The midfielder made a beautiful long pass to the ground and handed the ball to Tony Douglas, who was fast breaking like a wild horse.
Tony Douglas scored a layup with a step after receiving the ball.
But then the Nets made another mistake. Devin Harris passed the ball to Lopez, but Millsap saw the right time and intercepted it from the middle.
Then, Millsap rushed straight to the frontcourt as soon as his head got hot, but this guy's ball-handling skills were really unsatisfactory. He stumbled and tripped himself while dribbling. Fortunately, he protected him in time. He caught the ball, and then quickly passed it to Lian Dao who was halfway through, so there was no mistake.
After Lian Dao received the ball, Bobby Simmons and Terrence Williams double-teamed Lian Dao.
Lian Dao held the ball without stopping, and directly threw it high to the basket.
At this time, Milicic, who reached the basket, directly received a dunk.
Sure enough, the online Milicic can definitely serve as a gangster on the Knicks' bench.
Next, Bobby Simmons was slapped by Millsap for a layup. After Larry Hughes picked up the ball, he handed it to Lian Dao, and then it was just like Tony Douglas before.
Accelerate towards the front court.
What's the matter, I'm just an emotionless passing machine?
Who is the point guard? Why do I feel that I am the only point guard and they are all shooting guards?
Even though he thought so, Lian Dao had no choice but to accept the task of organizing the pass.
After a fake shot from outside the three-point line, he turned around and hit the ground to pass the ball to Larry Hughes who cut in and approached the basket. After Larry Hughes received the ball, he scored the ball with a coquettish pull.
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Knicks kept catching the Nets' mistakes and started a wave of 6:0.
The key is that these three goals were all completed by activating teammates under Lian Dao's organization.
Now, the head coach of the Nets, Kiki Vandeweghe, is a little embarrassed. Although he doesn't care about the record, if he is slaughtered by his opponent in the game he coaches, it will not look good.
Moreover, it is said that the owner of the Nets, Leitner, is selling the team. Before the Russian businessman Mikhail Prokhorov formally acquired 80% of the shares of the New Jersey Nets for US$200 million, they are now negotiating the final 20% .
Laettner, the owner of the Nets, is a well-known real estate developer in the United States. He heard that investing in nba teams can make a lot of money, and this guy really saw that James Dolan made a lot of money by relying on the Knicks' record. The bowl was full, which made Leitner jealous, and then plunged into the basketball circle and bought the Nets.
However, since taking over the Nets, the Nets have lost $380 million in five years, and affected by the financial crisis in 2008, real estate in the United States is also struggling.
Therefore, he also wants to get rid of the gold-swallowing monster, the Nets, as soon as possible, and collect funds to restore blood to his real estate company.
So, he found Mikhail Prokhorov, a local tycoon in Russia, and flew to Russia to discuss cooperation. Mikhail Prokhorov was really not short of money. Master, so the contract was signed on the same day, and 80% of the Nets' shares in Laettner's hands were acquired, and the remaining 20% ??of the shares were also under negotiation.
If at this time, due to his own unfavorable coaching reasons, the Nets are slaughtered by a large score at home, which will affect the next sale of the team's shares.
The head coach Kiki van der Weghe estimated that he would be killed by the boss Leitner, find a gunman, put him in a sack and throw him into the sea to feed the sharks.
While head coach Kiki Vandeweghe was brainstorming, Bobby Simmons missed a shot and was again counterattacked by the Knicks.
Seeing Bobby Simmons stretching his hips, Kiki van der Weghe's nose was almost crooked. Does this guy want to sink himself into the east coast of the United States tomorrow?
So he immediately let Devon Harris make a foul and dead ball, and after Bobby Simmons was replaced, he just sprayed hard, and almost sprayed him out.
Then, Yi Jianlian was replaced again.
As soon as Yi Jianlian came up, he used the cover of his teammates to get rid of the defense, went to the basket, and scored a dunk.
Now Yi Jianlian is also playing crazy, as long as he has the ball in his hand, he dares to shoot.
confidence!
That's right, Yi Jianlian also played with confidence in this game.
However, the other players of the Nets today are too strong. Originally, Lopez’s touch was still on the line in the first quarter, but in the second quarter, under Milicic’s focused defense, Lopez was already struggling with physical confrontation. No, he also lost his shooting touch at this time.
In fact, I don’t blame him. When Milicic puts all his energy on the dirty work of circumventing, following up, assisting and blocking, not only Lopez, but other players will also Headache for this.
In the second quarter, Lopez only scored 2 points and 1 rebound under the defense of Dakomirisic.
Two of the points were scored through free throws.
Conversely, the Knicks' entire team has already played.
Lian Dao once again assisted Millsap to make a mid-range shot.
Yi Jianlian also once again got a chance through his teammates' pick-and-roll and made a mid-range shot.
Here, Millsap is also a little helpless. Yi Jianlian's touch is really good today. He has tried his best to keep up, but his height is at a disadvantage, and it is difficult to defend Yi Jianlian's shooting when Yi Jianlian's touch is hot.
Lian Dao patted Millsap on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, give him to me, you are responsible for defending Terrence Williams." Lian Dao said.
Next, Lian Dao made a shot from outside the three-point line on the offensive end.
Then he came to Yi Jianlian's side, and then Yi Jianlian couldn't catch the ball again.
Terrence Williams saw that Yi Jianlian had no chance ~www.mtlnovel.com~ In addition, the defender in front of him was finally not Lian Dao.
So, he thought about attacking by himself, and he found that when Millsap defended himself, he let himself more than one step away.
Are you looking down on my shooting at this time?
At that time, Terrence Williams was not happy. When defending Yi Jianlian, I didn’t see you let him go one step away. If you don’t believe that I have a basket, who do you look down on?
Then pull up and cast.
"Wow!"
The crisp sound of iron striking.
