Lin Ying also looked back.
Seeing Deron coming up, he turned around and clapped with him before shooting the free throw.
Obviously, Deron was not injured.
This is the adjustment of the coaching staff that Karl went to the locker room to talk to the players about before.
Since the focus in the first half of the third quarter is defense, Livingston can replace Deron.
As for Delong.
"It's up to you."
Lin Ying said after high-fiving...
He was expected to play the full third quarter, but now he has entered the white-hot space early and needs to take a walk on the court to recover his strength.
Lin Ying made both free throws.
63 to 61, a score difference of 2 points.
Riley was still in a daze, and the Knicks were still playing according to their original tactics.
James' breakthrough caused damage again.
He played really hard tonight.
Then, he made one of two free throws.
In the Nets' frontcourt attack, Deron began to hold the ball, and Lin Ying moved to the free throw line.
There is a lot of space on the court.
When Deron was substituted earlier, Granger and Yi Jianlian were also substituted.
Deron and Yi Jianlian broke through the pick-and-roll from the right.
When he broke through, Lin Ying also moved from the free throw line to the left to contain the defense.
The Knicks had no defense on the right side, so Deron broke through to the three-second zone and used a short drag step to dodge Bosh for a throw.
"Whoa!"
The basketball fell steadily into the bag.
Deron seems to be in pretty good shape.
Riley came to his senses and started to change players.
Ray Allen and Landry came on the court, replacing Wade and Bogut.
This is also a small lineup to deal with the Nets' current space lineup.
James organized the attack in the frontcourt and also looked for Ray Allen, but unfortunately Ray Allen's shot failed to hit.
Ray Allen will be 39 years old soon. This is the last year of his contract with the Knicks and the last year of his career. Although his shooting skills are still there, he needs time to warm up.
The ball was a long rebound. Yi Jianlian grabbed it and gave it to Deron.
After receiving the ball, Deron got rid of the defense like a rocket at his feet, dodged James' block and then scored on the board!
64 to 65!
The Nets overtook the score!
Deron scored 4 points in a row after coming off the bench!
Although except for G1, his condition in the rest of the game was not very good, but the problem now is that the other players on the field spent half a quarter and consumed a lot of physical energy, and they were all in a "half-blood" state.
And Delong is full of blood!
Brooklyn's "boy band" got back into shape again and played horse racing with Riley again!
Lin Ying couldn't help laughing when she saw this.
Stoudemire is not the only one who can read "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu!
Riley reached out to press his frown.
His mood fluctuated greatly in the second half.
First he was doubtful, then he was confident, and finally he was extremely confident and even felt like he had a chance to win. Then when Deron came on the stage, his mood suddenly dropped, and now he was even a little overwhelmed!
But it’s not his fault. If you were any other coach, it would be difficult to gain the upper hand against the Brooklyn “men’s team”.
Fake Nets coaching staff: Sloan is no longer the head coach, and Karl’s ability to take over has declined;
The Real Nets Coaching Staff: Brooklyn’s “Boys’ Team”!
James' breakthrough shot went wide, and there was no foul this time.
Holding his breath, he quickly stood up and continued to pursue the defense.
The Nets quickly break into the frontcourt.
Riley had already smoothed his frown at this time.
He quickly signaled the players on the field to pay attention to marking Deron.
Tian Ji is just a horse racer, and the only one who can be called a "superior horse" is Delong.
Be optimistic about Lin Ying and control Deron, and the Knicks will still be able to hold on.
James fully demonstrated his defensive ability at this time, struggling to retreat to half court and directly limiting Deron's shots.
But in the next second, Deron passed the ball to Butler who was following up from the right.
Then Butler shot directly from outside the three-point line and chased for a three-pointer!
Butler's choice was decisive, and it was obvious that it was not a temporary decision.
Riley's heart skipped a beat.
"when!"
Fortunately, Butler's shot hit the basket and Riley's hanging heart relaxed.
but!
Lin Ying had also followed up to the frontcourt at this time, and directly inserted inside.
After successfully judging the landing point, he flew forward to grab the offensive rebound, and then threw it directly to Granger who was following up on the right!
Granger caught the ball and shot quickly...
"Whoa!"
There was a crisp sound of connecting to the network.
Granger continued his excellent touch in the series and will not show mercy when given the opportunity!
64 to 68!
The Nets began to turn around and open up the score!
"Defend! Defend!"
The momentum of the fans at the scene also began to increase.
From being behind by 13 points to now leading by 4 points, they beat the Knicks by 17 points in this quarter!
And the game has only lasted for more than 9 minutes.
They have the opportunity to continue to expand this advantage!
"when!"
Bosh's high jump shot in the frontcourt still missed!
Moreover, it is ridiculously short, almost like a non-sticker!
It's obvious that the Knicks' mentality has changed at this time!
"Whoa!"
Deron played a pick-and-roll with Yi Jianlian in the frontcourt and then shot directly from outside the three-point line.
Then, cum and there you go!
64 to 71!
The score difference has reached 7 points!
Riley reached out and called timeout!
This timeout was called very timely, and the Nets were clearly on the verge of gaining momentum.
Over at the commentary box, McGrady's expression was a little complicated.
Because he found that he seemed to have become Barkley second.
This mouth is poisonous!
No, more accurately it should be Barkley before he became the "No. 1 Lin Chui".
After the timeout, the Knicks played a beautiful offense in the frontcourt. Ray Allen found his touch, ran without the ball and then caught the ball and hit a three-pointer.
This three-pointer was crucial and could even be said to have pulled the Knicks back from the brink.
Even though I am 39 years old, my thighs are still very thick.
But before the Knicks could catch their breath, Granger received Deron's breakthrough ball from the bottom corner and hit another three-pointer!
The Nets scored 3 three-pointers in a row!
Riley reached out and patted his forehead, finally coming back to his senses.
Tian Ji's horse racing and other things are not the adjustment of the Nets tonight, but the three-pointer!
The Nets want to use three-pointers to quickly open up the score!
If the Knicks hadn't played well enough in the first half, the Knicks would have fallen behind by more than 10 points, maybe even 20 points!
Three-pointers increase points very quickly!
After he reacted, he immediately got up and walked to the sidelines.
Ray Allen's three-point shot in the frontcourt was interfered with, and the Nets advanced quickly.
Riley waved and shouted on the sidelines to remind the players to pay attention to the Nets' chasing three-pointer.
The Knicks showed excellent execution and blocked all the Nets' outside points.
But at this moment, Lin Ying followed up and went straight inside. After receiving Deron's pass, he got rid of Prince...
"Bang!"
After jumping up, he dunks hard with both hands to score!
When the Knicks' defense was restrained by the Nets' outside perimeter, Lin Ying couldn't hold it anymore!
Riley: Beep beep beep!
Even if he is a "divine fortune teller", he doesn't know how to deal with it now.
But at this time, the fans at Barclays Center went completely crazy.
The Nets have already led the Knicks by 9 points!
One more goal and they would be leading the Knicks by double digits!
At the critical moment, it was James who stood up for the Knicks.
He turned around and scored a difficult layup with a breakthrough, and also caused Yi Jianlian's thug to foul!
The cheers at the scene stopped abruptly.
James was pulled up by his teammates and breathed heavily as he walked to the free throw line.
This is a bit unbelievable for James, who is also famous for his physical fitness, but it is completely understandable.
From the beginning of the game, James has been going all out.
Putting aside the past and future, he played very hard tonight, like a warrior.
There is a time when everyone leaves everything behind and just wants to win.
"when!"
Then, his extra penalty went wide.
When exhausted, a player's free throws can easily go awry.
What's more, James' free throws themselves are not very stable.
Yi Jianlian got stuck and picked off the defensive rebound, and the Nets once again launched a fast break.
Lin Ying's cut was very fast, but after he caught the ball, he threw the ball to Butler who was following up.
Butler still takes decisive action when receiving the ball from the outside.
Lin Ying had Landry stuck at this time and was already determined to win the frontcourt board.
"Whoa!"
There were no rebounds, but Butler seized the opportunity this time!
The Nets' fourth three-pointer in this period!
Riley was right, but he couldn't help it!
The heavy rain outside the arena has not stopped yet, and it has also started to rain inside the arena!
At the end of the three quarters, the score on the field was 69 to 81.
The Nets beat the Knicks 33-8 in a single quarter!
They made a total of 4 three-pointers in the entire first half, but they made 6 in this quarter!
If it weren't for the Knicks' outstanding performance in the half, the game would have been over after three quarters!
Trailing by 12 points, there is still a chance.
In the transition period between the substitutes in the third and fourth quarters, James was on the court leading the team without a minute's rest.
This is truly a sacrifice.
This did work. Before the main team came back, the Knicks narrowed the point difference to 6 points.
The Knicks have regained hope of a comeback.
Then at the decisive moment, the Nets again adopted a five-small space play.
And more importantly, Lin Ying did not play during this period. After he returned to the court, he entered the white-hot space again.
Lin Ying scored 6 points in practice, forcing the Knicks to double-team him.
Then,
"Rainy Night in Brooklyn", the rain keeps falling!
When Granger hit the Nets' 13th three-pointer of the night against James, the score on the court had already opened to 15 points.
Riley replaced the Knicks' main force two minutes before the end.
After the Nets also replaced their main players, the scene was filled with cheers from Nets fans.
Win!
They really won!
They beat the Knicks again!
And this time, it’s under completely unfavorable conditions!
They made it to the finals two years in a row!
Now they have the opportunity to become another team that successfully defends the title after OK Group!
At Lin Ying's signal, the players bowed to the fans before leaving the field.
The fans were very enthusiastic tonight, and their contribution to the Nets' comeback is indispensable.
The cheers at the scene instantly reached its peak.
They love this team so much!
After bowing, a group of teammates bumped their chests and shouted, showing great excitement.
The Knicks, who were not favored, turned around and defeated the super lineup in succession. They have too many reasons to be excited tonight!
Some people are happy and some are sad. The Nets are happy, but the Knicks are already filled with worries.
Although the game has not officially ended yet, they are just condemned prisoners who have been put on the execution ground. The only difference is the last one.
James wrapped his head in a towel and lowered his head.
Wade has returned to the locker room early.
Bosh hugged Artest and cried.
His mood was really broken.
Riley looked at the field and seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.
The rest of the Knicks were confused and frustrated.
Everyone knows that the Knicks will enter a critical period this summer. If they lose this championship, the chance of them breaking up is 70 to 80 percent, not to mention 100 percent.
In other words, the three giants of the 2003 generation gathered together at their peak, but in the end they only won one championship!
If someone had told them this result three years ago when they won the championship in their first season as a team, they would have thought that person was stupid.
We won the championship as a team, and we are all at the top, what the hell do you think!
Unexpectedly, the clown turned out to be themselves!
"beep!"
The final whistle sounded.
The score on the court was finally settled at 114-96.
The Nets finally defeated the Knicks with a score of 4 to 2 and advanced to the Finals for the second consecutive year.
In terms of statistics, James tried his best tonight, contributing 40 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists, 4 steals and 3 blocks.
For the Nets, Lin Ying contributed 33 points, 10 rebounds and 8 assists, and Deron had 21 points and 7 assists.
Of course, what is more worth mentioning is that the Nets scored 13 three-pointers tonight.
Among them, 6 shots were made in the third quarter.
Before the small ball era, this performance was quite impressive.
The two teams had a final handshake. Lin Ying looked at James, whose eyes were red, and wanted to say something but felt that nothing was appropriate, so he just reached out and hugged him.
James deserves respect tonight.
…
The Knicks didn't even take a shower, they just took the bus back to Madison Square Garden.
When they came out of the arena, all the players frowned unconsciously when they saw the heavy rain still falling.
Rainy days are very annoying.
…
After Lin Ying attended the press conference, he went to the training hall to practice more.
Defeating the Knicks is exciting, but the Nets have not truly won the championship, and his goal of defending the title has not yet been achieved.
Until then, we have to keep playing, even on nights like this.
Especially after watching the game between the Spurs and the Thunder, if we meet the Spurs, the finals will be even more difficult.
After a round of practice, he sat on the sidelines to rest.
Just then there was lightning flashing outside.
He turned to look out the French window.
The rain is still falling and very heavy.
It feels very comfortable on a rainy day.
Especially the sound of rain can make people feel very sleepy.
After watching the rain for a while, he looked away from the window and then stood up to start the second round of training.
Now in the Western Conference, the Spurs lead 3-2.
Due to the schedule, their opponent in the finals will not be determined until tomorrow at the earliest.
If the Thunder are strong enough, the Nets will still have nearly a week off.
Chapter completed!
