With the Nets still trailing by 18 points, this will become very critical.

Yi Jianlian shot directly after receiving the ball.

His choice was decisive enough. When Bosh saw that he had no time to return to defense, he gave up and turned around to prepare for the rebound.

"Whoa!"

There was a crisp sound of connecting to the network.

Yi Jianlian made a key three-pointer!

63 to 48!

The score difference is back to 15 points!

Sloan nodded after seeing this scene.

That's the shot he said he should make at halftime.

Knicks, keep fighting.

James broke through to the baseline, turned around and took a shot. Yi Jianlian was able to jump on the ball well enough, and James pulled the shot point extremely high to avoid the block.

"when!"

Still nothing!

The Knicks' position has always been this way, and by halftime the Nets were already very familiar with it.

The ball was a long rebound, and Lin Ying immediately turned around after grabbing it.

Wade fought hard to catch up, but Lin Ying was so smart that he got stuck.

When he reached the frontcourt, he blocked Wade sideways to prevent him from jumping, jumped up, glided and smashed the ball into the basket with one hand.

63 to 50!

The Nets came back in the second half and beat the Knicks 7-3, narrowing the point difference to 13 points!

There were constant cheers at the scene.

Rivers reached out and called a timeout!

Pausing time, Sloan continued to emphasize the details.

Lin Ying listened and turned to look at the Knicks bench.

After typing this section, he understood intuitively why Rivers was regarded as the essence of human beings' comeback.

To sum it up in two words: conservative.

In the first half, although the Knicks had a strong position, the Nets had poor touch and pushed a lot of defensive counterattacks.

This Knicks has played under D'Antoni for two years, and this ability is very strong.

And that also helped the Knicks continue to widen the point difference.

After all, in the transition period between substitutes, the Nets were only behind by about 10 points.

But in the second half, when the lead reached 20 points, Rivers suddenly became conservative.

Not to mention that he attacks quickly, even if he is on guard, he deliberately does not play defensive counterattack to suppress the rhythm.

From a certain perspective, this can also be explained: I am 20 points ahead, and as long as I don't catch up with you in the remaining two quarters, then I win.

In a basketball game, there is no difference in the final result between winning by 1 point and winning by 20 points.

And holding down the position and slowing down the tempo is the best way to prevent being chased for points.

But the prerequisite for this kind of conservatism to be successful is that you are sure of at least one of them being able to score or defend.

The Celtics' offensive performance back then was mediocre, but thanks to their superior defensive ability, they were able to suppress the rhythm of the game.

But obviously the Knicks can't.

The inside line of Bogut and Bosh is much weaker than that of Perkins and Garnett, and now it is directly the old Martin and Bosh.

Even if you change your hair for a second time, it's still far from enough.

Moreover, the Knicks are already full of offensive talent, so deliberately suppressing their desire to attack would be counterproductive and make the players feel defensive.

On the other hand, the Nets paid attention to every detail and made all the goals that should be scored.

Taking this series of factors together, it is not surprising that the Knicks are chasing points.

From the Knicks' perspective, it's actually easy to change this situation, just play like they did in the first half.

The Knicks are in hot form on the offensive end tonight. It will not be easy for the Nets to chase points, at least not so quickly in a short period of time.

After the timeout, the Knicks continued to play in the frontcourt.

At the critical moment, it was Ray Allen who made the difference. He was going out on a pick-and-roll, suddenly cut back to the basket, received a pass from James and scored two points.

I checked with my eyes and saw that this is a real thigh.

The 15-point difference became a watershed on the court.

Deron missed a three-pointer from the frontcourt, and Bosh grabbed the defensive rebound.

At this time, Lin Ying reminded his teammates to retreat quickly.

But the Knicks...still have no intention of playing fast break!

Rivers just doesn't change and just plays!

"Prevent this round!"

Lin Ying retreated to the half court and reminded loudly.

The Knicks give the opportunity, whether they can seize it or not depends on their defense!

This kind of reminder is very useful. Butler directly saves and steals James' pass!

The Nets once again hit the fast break.

James' mentality was a little up and down, and he shook his head in frustration and did not pursue the defense. Butler went straight to the fast break to get another ball.

The score difference is back to 13 points again!

After walking back to the backcourt, James looked at Rivers, as if he wanted to get some instructions from the opponent to make adjustments.

But Rivers nodded at him!

It seems to be saying: It doesn't matter, keep going!

At this time, James had the word "pig head" in his heart and didn't know whether to say it or not.

However, Rivers is a championship coach, and the management also respects him, so he can only continue to play according to tactics.

However, after Rivers returned to the bench, assistant coach Tyronn Lue suggested whether to play faster, but Rivers shook his head and rejected it.

"Dang!"

Ray Allen's three-point shot from the outside is also solid!

And when Bosh was grabbing rebounds, he pushed people directly.

Playing in a rhythm that they are not used to, the players on the field are also inexplicably impatient.

This sentiment also affected the defensive end.

Lin Ying held the ball and used Yi Jianlian to screen and roll. James, who should have decisively flanked Lin Ying, chose to switch out to guard Yi Jianlian.

Lin Ying decisively broke through Bosh with the ball and made a trademark pull-up jumper inside the free throw line.

Bosh rushed forward to interfere, but was obviously slow.

"Crack!"

After Lin Ying completed his shot, Bosh's hand hit Lin Ying's elbow directly.

"Whoa!"

Then there was a crisp sound.

This is a 2+1!

The Nets bench was in an uproar, and Crowder's towel was swung like a stick.

There were cheers and whistles at the scene.

Lin Ying also had a happy expression when he got to the free throw line.

To reverse this thing, in addition to playing well yourself, you also need the cooperation of your opponent in many cases!

After all, if you play well and your opponent plays well, the point difference will only remain the same or get slightly closer, instead of constantly chasing points like you are seeing now.

"Whoa!"

Lin Ying's extra penalty went further.

20 points difference, only 10 points left in the blink of an eye!

The essence of human beings being turned upside down, a textbook demonstration!
Chapter completed!
