Chapter 422 Reality is more crap than fiction(2/3)
It can be seen that although he did not show any nervousness, the special nature of this game and the fact that he had not played an official game for a month made his body tense.
"Whoa!"
Lin Ying's extra free throw hit, and the point difference returned to 4 points.
George then held the ball, and Lin Ying directly hit it.
George's offense was finally forced to stop by Lin Ying.
During the day, Lin Ying challenged George to a duel. In addition to training, he also did not forget to familiarize himself with George's current offensive method.
Although he has developed the ability to hold the ball, it is still not enough in front of Lin Ying.
"Crack!"
At this moment, Granger assisted in defense and directly cut off George!
Turner continued to be embarrassed because he had no three-pointers and no space ability. Granger was very decisive in assisting defense.
The Nets quickly launched a fast break. Lin Ying stepped forward to grab the ball, and then passed the ball back to Granger during the fast break.
Granger made a flying layup and finally scored.
The point difference is once again 2 points!
At this time, Vogel's on-the-spot reaction ability was a bit slow, and he did not replace Turner immediately.
The Nets were able to double attack thoroughly on the defensive end. George ran without the ball and didn't get a chance. In the end, Watson and Allen's mid-range shot missed after the pick-and-roll, and the rebound was picked off by Yi Jianlian.
The Pacers' offense encountered problems, but fortunately they retreated well.
Lin Yingtu was assigned to Smith.
Smith's outside shot missed.
The Pacers did a good job in assisting the defensive rotation, and key players like Smith were quick enough to cover up the defense.
However, Yi Jianlian's shot was blocked very well, and he successfully grabbed the offensive rebound, and his second strong move caused Mahinmi to foul.
Yi Jianlian's two free throw opportunities gave the Nets a chance to tie the score.
"Dang!"
It's a pity that the first penalty missed.
Just like Granger, the invisible confrontation with the Pacers is very costly, and that will be reflected in every detail.
"Whoa!"
The second free throw was made.
A point difference of 1 point.
There were more substitutions on the sidelines, and more substitutions on both sides.
Stephenson and West of the Pacers returned to the court, and Barbosa and Chandler of the Nets also returned to the court.
West came up and wanted the ball in the low post. After being flanked, Stephenson was sent to the outside. Stephenson shook off Smith and hit the board in the mid-range to score.
After scoring the goal, the junior brother played his familiar guitar again, and the score difference returned to 3 points again.
The Nets really couldn't get over it today.
Lin Ying continued to hold the ball, this time he consciously looked for Granger, and then scored the ball with a sudden burst.
Assistance and defense rotation can only capture key players, and it is difficult to make up for them all at once.
Smith is the key player for the Pacers to keep an eye on, but Granger is not.
Granger got a very good shot when he caught the ball.
He even had time to adjust his shooting posture.
His shooting speed is not slow.
The trajectory of this shot looks obviously better than the one just now.
Moreover, it is also softer.
It was obvious that after relaxing his body, Granger shot more freely.
The basketball flew through the air in a beautiful parabola.
"Whoa!"
Hollow fell into the net bag!
Granger hits his first shot of the night!
He had not scored for so long, but this time he scored 5 points!
37 flat!
The Nets finally tied the score!
Seeing the ball go in, Granger unconsciously clenched his fists, and then took the initiative to give Lin Ying a high-five as he retreated.
In fact, it is not completely different from what fans speculated. After he was bought out by the 76ers, many teams offered him an olive branch.
His first favorite was the Mavericks, and the Mavericks pursued him the most fiercely.
The Mavericks sent away Courtney Lee in a previous trade, and they are short of players at the small forward position.
Moreover, if he had a choice, he didn't want to stand on the opposite side of his former brothers.
If you stay in the East, you will probably be in the playoffs, but if you go to the West, you won't.
But when he was finally making a decision, a voice appeared in his mind, asking him if he was willing to leave the East like this? After fighting for so many years, was he willing to leave the East like a lost dog?
In the end, under the influence of that voice, he chose the Nets.
He was not sure whether his choice was right before because he never got a chance to play.
But now it seems that his choice was correct.
With the caution of the coaching staff and Lin Ying's attitude, the Nets are the most suitable place for him!
George turned and shot missed.
Lin Ying grabbed the defensive rebound, advanced to the frontcourt, broke through directly to the inside and made a one-handed dunk!
The Nets overtook the score!
Because Granger made a three-pointer, the Pacers did not dare to shrink completely.
And this incompleteness is giving Lin Ying a chance.
Vogel felt dizzy.
Unlike the Knicks' previous game against the Nets, this time it wasn't Lin Ying who made a three-pointer, but the rest of the Nets.
But no matter which one is turned on, it's not a good thing.
He replaced all the main players.
On the Nets side, Karl also made substitutions one after another.
But Granger is still on the field.
Carl trusted him just as he trusted JR before.
George and West's shots after the pick-and-roll caused fouls, and they made two free throws to help the Pacers continue to tie the score.
And the Pacers quickly retreated to halftime.
Their game is very tough.
However, after Hibbert returned to the court, Lin Ying could play out of position, and the Pacers had to help defend from the weak side.
Then the defense was lost.
Moreover, the Nets' small coordination was good. Butler didn't shoot directly when he was free. He waited for Granger to run over, hand over and then pick and roll on the spot.
The moment Granger caught the ball, he felt inexplicably moved.
He is just a role player, but other people on the Nets are creating opportunities for him intentionally or unintentionally!
This is very important for him who currently focuses on shooting.
"Whoa!"
He also showed his shooting skills, and his shot from outside the three-point line once again came up with a knife!
He averaged only 8.3 points per game with the Pacers this season.
But in this quarter, he has already scored 8 points!
The Nets bench was in an uproar, and the players were waving their towels in the air.
The atmosphere of the Nets has always been very good.
Even if the coach is changed, even if a wave of substitutes are changed, this atmosphere will always be there with Lin Ying!
"Dang!"
