Chapter 487 Brooklyn Time 3.0(2/2)
Return from the timeout and the game continues.
The Cavaliers played a relatively simple tactic, with James holding the ball and hitting Ariza with his back.
A slightly less beautiful turn and tilt.
"when!"
The basketball missed the basket again.
Since James learned the steps from Olajuwon, his post-up play has reached a certain level.
But from the free throw just now to this post-up play, it can still be seen that James is still in the adaptation period after regaining weight.
Thompson grabbed an offensive rebound, but when he wanted to pass the ball to James, Lin Ying intercepted it!
The advantage of having enough energy is that it lasts longer.
Lin Ying's attack and defense in the white-hot space gave him a full sense of presence.
Fortunately, James was alert enough and fouled Lin Ying directly, preventing the Nets' fast break.
Both sides moved to the frontcourt position.
Kidd found it difficult to remain calm at the moment and kept shouting on the sidelines to remind his players to move.
The effect of this is still there. The Nets' tactics did not work out. Lin Ying was also flanked heavily when he broke through. James had already flown over to prepare for a volleyball block.
However, Lin Ying did not force the shot. Instead, he jumped up, turned around in the air, and passed the ball to Bradley in the opposite corner.
Bradley gets a completely wide open shot.
When the Cavaliers focus all their defense on the Texas Twins, opportunities for others will naturally appear!
Bradley did not hesitate and took action decisively after catching the ball.
Kidd's heart skipped a beat when he saw this.
The Texas Twins have a strong ability to seize opportunities. Others must not be so stable, right?
But Bradley's shooting arc looks very straight.
He is also 3D, and his stability is much higher than Ariza.
"Whoa!"
With a crisp sound, Bradley's three-pointer passed through the net!
61 to 68!
The score difference is getting wider and wider!
"Whoa!"
Fortunately, looking back, Love caught the ball from the outside and hit a difficult three-pointer against Lin Ying's long arm.
The Cavaliers' bench was in a frenzy.
Just like Smith said, defeating the Cavaliers is by no means easy.
The point difference was brought back to 5 points!
"Whoa!"
But before the Cavaliers players even sat back on the bench, Durant hit a three-point answerball from the outside!
And in this round just now, Lin Ying and Durant made eye contact and started a pick-and-roll with the Texas Twins!
This is because the Nets opened the score too slowly!
And because Bradley had just hit a three-pointer, the Cavaliers did not dare to attack the Gemini pick-and-roll casually.
The Thunder didn't know how to defend the Gemini pick-and-roll at the beginning of the last game, and the Cavaliers didn't know either!
Moreover, this three-pointer was very hard, and the Nets' defensive enthusiasm returned.
Love's cut-in layup was caught by Durant!
Who says Durant can't defend?
Looking back, the Texas Twins continued to play pick-and-roll. This time Lin Ying broke through the basket and created another 2+1 on Love!
Everyone in Lok Fu is numb.
After losing weight, apart from shooting three-pointers from the outside, he can basically do nothing else on both offense and defense!
After Lin Ying's extra penalty, the Nets suddenly opened the point difference to double digits!
"Kenny, what did I say?"
O'Neal smiled and turned to look at Smith.
Smith on the side smiled, nodded in agreement, and then said:
"Brooklyn time."
…
The Nets scored a disparity of 40 to 22 in the third quarter.
At the end of the third quarter, they had led the Cavaliers by 12 points.
It is worth mentioning that of the 40 points, Lin Ying and Durant scored 30 of them together.
Carr's version 3.0 of "Brooklyn Time" worked in the first game.
And they are facing their most direct competitor in the Eastern Conference, the Cavaliers.
But because it's the Cavaliers, the score doesn't seem that disparate.
If the Thunder had played like this before, the point difference in a single quarter would have been 20 or even 30 points.
The firepower of the Texas Twins is simply too fierce.
After this quarter, the Nets' lead was not too big, but their momentum had completely suppressed the Cavaliers.
After the final quarter, the Nets finally defeated the Cavaliers 122-112 and won the Thanksgiving Day battle.
Lin Ying and Durant both scored 30+ points again. Lin Ying scored 34 points and Durant scored 32 points. The two scored 66 points together.
Counting the last game, the Twins averaged 67 points per game in the two games.
The explosive scoring power of this combination is not an exaggeration.
"Ying, it seems like your method didn't work."
After the game, Durant and Lin Ying attended the press conference, and Durant spoke.
"No, it worked. Don't you think you're sweating less?"
Lin Ying replied with a smile.
Durant smiled and nodded.
Putting aside the strength of the opponent, they produced output in three quarters of the last game, but tonight they only really exerted their strength in the second half.
In other words, it mainly focuses on the third section.
They walked into the locker room chatting and saw Jokic lying there resting with a look of despair.
Tonight, Jokic scored 18 points in the first half and finished the game with a triple-double of 22 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists.
For a player who doesn't like scoring and doesn't like physical confrontation, tonight's game was really miserable for him.
Because in the first half, he was assigned to fight in the low post, and in the second half, he went inside to carry the Cavaliers' attack.
It's really just something he doesn't like, and then let him do it.
He stretched out his hand to touch his belly again and felt that he had lost a lot of weight overnight.
Seeing Jokic's expression and actions, Lin Ying and Durant couldn't help laughing.
It's really hard for the little fat guy.
"Ying, go over and comfort him."
Durant said to Lin Ying.
Lin Ying nodded, then walked towards Jokic with a smile.
Seeing that it was Lin Ying coming over, Jokic immediately cheered up and stood up from his seat with a smile.
"You played well. Next time I will ask George to arrange for you to go to the press conference with us."
Lin Ying reached out and patted Jokic on the shoulder.
"next time?"
Jokic was stunned for a moment. He didn't know about Lin Ying's communication with Karl, and Karl hadn't said that the Nets would stick to their style of play tonight.
"Yeah, next time, don't worry, there will be more opportunities like this in the future."
Lin Ying said with a smile.
Jokic, however, touched his stomach and slumped back to the bench.
Chapter completed!
