The Nets did not adjust their tactics, and Jokic continued to catch the ball and drive inside.

The Hornets double-attacked again, and Jokic passed the ball ahead of time.

"Crack!"

He was cut off by Lamb's attack from the side!

Jordan in the stands frowned a little when he saw this scene.

On the court, the Hornets played a fast break. Walker made a flying layup in the fast break and scored two more points. The Hornets started with a 4-0 victory over the Nets!

This also set the tone for the first quarter of the game.

With their active defense, the Hornets scored 5-0 in the first quarter.

This result makes Hornets fans a little unbelievable.

Are the Hornets just not good at playing on the road?

At this time, Jordan finally showed a grandfather-like smile of relief.

It is unrealistic to expect this group of people to suddenly shine and perform on the offensive end. That requires talent, and the Nets' defensive strength is also there.

But defense can be improved, and defense depends more on motivation.

It is not impossible to win a game against the Nets relying on defense.

At least his performance in the first quarter basically reached the minimum limit he required.

Come the second quarter, the lineups on both sides of the court.

Hornets: Jeremy Lin, Lamb, Lance Stephenson, Cody Zeller, Kaminsky.

Nets: Joseph, JR, Covington, Lin Ying, West.

The Hornets' performance in the first quarter was indeed somewhat unexpected.

And it wasn't that Karl was slow to react. After trying Jokic's low position for several rounds with poor results, he had already adjusted to let the Gemini play.

However, defense is a thing. The more you fight, the more excited you become, especially when the weak is fighting against the strong, so it doesn't have much effect.

But Karl doesn't want to take it lightly, and is preparing to regain the advantage in this substitute transition period.

Lin Ying also knew this, so when the second quarter came up, he entered the white-hot space directly.

When the Nets had the ball, Lin Ying held the ball in the high post, glanced at Zeller, and made a pull-up jump shot after changing direction.

His style of play is simple because he doesn't want to give the Hornets a chance to attack from a double attack.

Jeremy Lin hit a pick-and-roll breakaway in the frontcourt.

Jeremy Lin went to the Rockets and played well, but the Rockets never made it to the playoffs.

When Rockets general manager Mosaic saw that it didn't work out, he replaced him with Lawson, whom he liked better. Jeremy Lin was given up and then came to the Hornets.

Although he is still not very good at defense, his experience in the past few years has greatly improved his offensive skills, and he is now playing well in the Hornets.

Lin Ying continues to catch the ball in the frontcourt.

This time the Hornets immediately attacked from a double attack, and Lin Ying turned directly to the baseline and shot backward.

These two rounds mainly highlight two words: easy.

After entering the white-hot space, normal defense is ineffective against him.

Jeremy Lin's frontcourt breakthrough layup was blocked by Lin Ying, and the rebound was also picked off by Lin Ying.

The Nets played a fast break, and JR dunked on the ball after receiving the ball.

7 to 6.

In the blink of an eye, the difference between the two sides was only 1 point.

Seeing this, Jordan's expression changed from relaxed to a little serious.

This little guy can't let him have fun!

Kaminsky's single in the low post was blocked by West.

The Nets then advanced to the frontcourt.

This time, Lin Ying was flanked as soon as he took up his position. He was not even allowed to catch the ball.

However, this was still not enough. Lin Ying made a fake move and turned around to directly deceive the two of them and cut to the basket.

When Joseph saw it, he threw the ball directly over the basket.

Lin Ying jumped up.

"Bang!"

A direct one-handed alley dunk!

The Nets overtook the score!

Jordan couldn't sit still and moved his body left and right.

The Hornets worked so hard in the first quarter and finally got a little lead.

Less than three minutes into the second quarter, Lin Ying easily overtook the score.

Moreover, at this time, Jordan did not show the same expression as before that felt that his players were not living up to expectations.

Because he knew very well that the same thing happened to his opponents when they faced him back then.

Defense can be greatly improved by active performance, but some people cannot be guarded.

Just when he was thinking, the Nets completed another wave of successful defense, and then Lin Ying caught the ball in the frontcourt and passed three people in a row, and then dodged with a lever in the air and scored +1 on Kaminsky.

Kaminsky's expression was one of despair.

The Hornets were also forced to call a timeout.

Jordan was already shaking his head.

Just now he unknowingly led himself into Lin Ying again.

But now Lin Ying is the opponent of his own team, this feeling is very distressing!

After the timeout, Lin Ying's scoring performance continued.

The Hornets can't stop him at all, and with their defensive configuration, they really can't.

And as he continued to fight, "Lin Ying's attraction" began to appear, and the whole team became chasing Lin Ying.

Lin Ying also began to send various passes at this time.

Assisted West's two-handed dunk under the basket, assisted Covington's three-point long shot from outside, and assisted JR's alley-oop dunk.

Then after finally holding on until the main force came back, Lin Ying went off the court to rest, and the Nets began to attack Durant again.

At this time, the Hornets had experienced a depletion of enthusiasm in the first quarter and were forced to deplete in the second quarter, and they were already exhausted against Durant.

The points difference is widening at a speed visible to the naked eye.

From a certain perspective, the Hornets performed better tonight than in the previous two games.

Because they at least forced the Nets to let the Twin Stars exert their strength in the first half.

With their team configuration, this can be considered a success.

At halftime, the Nets led the Hornets by 15 points, 6-47.

They were beaten 5-0 by the Hornets in the first quarter, and then in the second quarter, the Nets defeated the Hornets 4-0.

You can't say how poorly the Hornets played, after all, their scores in the first and second quarters were not much different.

In the stands, Jordan had already stood up and left.

Is it really that difficult to win?

Before getting up, he thought about this question.

Because he really couldn't understand what it was like to be in a situation where it was difficult to win even one game.

Then he remembered the content of his previous conversation with Lin Ying.

They have discussed this issue more than once, and Lin Ying's answer every time is:
Chapter completed!
