…

At halftime, the Knicks led the Nets by 17 points, 60-43.

Ray Allen made 4 three-pointers in the half and contributed a team-high 14 points to the Knicks.

His performance can only be described as perfect.

And most of his points were scored in the transition period from the bench.

The Nets' bench is deep, but they lack a scoring point.

From the rotation, we can see that Sloan responded by bringing Iverson on early, but Iverson is old after all, and it is still difficult to break out in a game of this intensity.

Moreover, after the main players returned in the second quarter, the Nets' touch also dropped a bit, and the Knicks suffered a lot of counterattacks.

Coupled with Wade's difficult three-pointer at the buzzer before the end of the first half, the score difference exceeded 15 points.

The situation is tough for the Nets.

Halftime break.

Sloan planned the second half tactics in the locker room.

Although most of them were lagging behind, the coach's mood did not fluctuate much.

If it weren't for knowing that he was Sloan, you might get up anxiously and say: We must act urgently!

But no one dares because he is Sloan.

And he was talking about some details that were not done well in the first half, as well as those opportunity shots that should have been made but were not taken.

After listening to it, you will be 100% sure that if you do what he said, then now they are not 17 points behind, but ahead.

Perhaps this is Sloan's charm.

"Lin, do you think we can do it?"

After Sloan left, Johnson couldn't help but approached Lin Ying and asked.

Tonight's game is very important, but the opponent is the Big Three. To be more precise, tonight is the opponent of the Big Four. It always feels a bit unrealistic to score 17 points.

"The chances are great."

What Lin Ying said was not absolute, but it was certain.

Not only because of Sloan's existence, but also a very important reason is that the Knicks' head coach is Doc Rivers.

As a master of chicken soup, Rivers has led his team to many comebacks, such as leading his team to a 24-point reversal of the Lakers in the Finals.

But at the same time, he also has a better-known nickname: the essence of human beings being turned over.

As the name suggests, he has been overturned in many series and games.

Lin Ying only watched it as a fan before and knew this, but didn't know the specific reason.

But history doesn't lie, maybe he can experience it for himself tonight.

Johnson nodded after listening.

Sloan's words make people feel at ease, and Lin Ying's words make people feel confident.

After returning from halftime, the venue was still full.

This is in sharp contrast to the Heat's home court.

Hypocritical support is born at the peak, and devout believers are witnessed at dusk.

Real fans will not choose to leave when the team is in adversity.

The Nets' outstanding performance at the beginning of the season has won them many real fans in Brooklyn.

Front row auditorium.

Kanye West looked out onto the court with a big smile while touching Kardashian's thigh.

Things are turning, and now it's the Knicks' turn to annihilate the Nets!

It's a pity that he didn't say anything before the game this time, otherwise he could have gotten it back at once if he was angry last time.

But it wasn't bad. Watching Lin Ying and Nets being abused made him inexplicably excited.

Kardashian held West's hand at this time.

Further down, we will reach a harmonious place.

Although he also likes to do some love things with West, this is a public place after all.

"Crack!"

West pulled out his hand and patted Kardashian's thigh.

Watching him go home at night, he wouldn't let Kardashian kneel down and beg for mercy.

The game continues.

Rivers directly made adjustments to the Knicks' starting lineup, with Ray Allen replacing Richardson in the starting lineup.

Obviously, this is to defeat the Nets in three quarters at once.

"Whoa!"

Ray Allen also really cheered Rivers up, and he hit a three-pointer without the ball.

This is his fifth three-pointer tonight!

63 to 43!

The Knicks also widened the point difference to 20 points!

There was a commotion in the place.

Ray Allen's thighs are really thick.

But at this moment, a short whistle sounded from the sidelines.

Jimmy Butler comes on to replace Joe Johnson!

This substitution may have set a new record for the fastest substitution in the NBA.

However, judging from the scene where Johnson came off the court and Sloan pulled him to "chat", the coach was obviously dissatisfied with his defense just now.

With Johnson off the court, the Knicks' double-teaming by Lin Ying became even more unscrupulous.

Lin Ying moved to the free throw line, received Deron's return pass without the ball, and was immediately double-teamed.

He took action directly against the flanking attack.

"Dang!"

This ball is still a bit difficult.

Martin struggled to get the offensive rebound and gave it to James immediately.

However, when Rivers shouted, James gave up his fast break plan and advanced to the frontcourt with the ball to establish a position.

Obviously, this is Rivers' tactical choice.

Because of his choice, the Nets were able to completely retreat.

The Knicks' frontcourt is still exactly the same.

Sometimes you really have to admit that Rivers' tactical system is ridiculously simple.

A set of offense + defense + chicken soup is basically everything he has.

It's also thanks to his strong enough chicken soup and meeting superstars like Garnett and Ray Allen that perfectly fit his tactics, otherwise he really wouldn't dare to think about winning the championship.

Butler's offense is not as good as Johnson's, but his defense is indeed much better, especially against Ray Allen's off-ball three-pointers using pick-and-rolls.

This time Ray Allen was followed, and James and Bosh started a pick-and-roll.

However, you can clearly feel the changes in the Nets in the second half. Their defensive details are obviously better than in the first half.

With this pick-and-roll switch, Yi Jianlian immediately blocked James's shooting space.

This is what Sloan's midfielder emphasizes, to pay attention to the details, and then shoot the opportunity ball, unpretentious, but effective.

James chose to break through, but Deron quickly replaced Yi Jianlian, who was retreating from defense.

James also reacted quickly and seized the only opportunity to knock the ball to Bosh. Bosh faced the oncoming Yi Jianlian and shot backward from the mid-range.

"Dang!"

deviation.

Although the Knicks still found opportunities with their talent, the opportunities they got were obviously not as good as they were in the first half!

Chandler grabbed the defensive rebound and quickly passed it to Lin Ying. The Nets counterattacked the Knicks' fast break.

Butler's awareness of the fast break was quick, and Lin Ying passed the ball to Lin Ying. He received the ball and made a flying layup.

The score difference of 18 points is still not small, but it is a good start.

The Knicks continued to advance into the frontcourt to play positions.

If you are a fan who has been following the Knicks, you will definitely feel a little strange now.

Because the Big Three have been playing very fast in the past two seasons since they formed a team.

But this season, especially in the second half tonight, this is a desperate situation.

"when!"

Wade's layup after a breakthrough missed.

The Nets have proven last season that they are a strong defensive team. Once the details are in place, it will not be easy to score points in front of them through positional warfare.

Fortunately, the Knicks retreated quickly this time and did not give the Nets a chance to make a fast break.

The Nets then played a UCLA pick-and-roll in the frontcourt. After this pick-and-roll, Yi Jianlian fell to the three-point line, and Lin Ying passed the ball back.

This shot is similar to the one that opened the game, except that it was a long two-pointer, but this time it was a three-pointer.
