My hands are itchy!

Ellis made a breakthrough in the frontcourt and scored after dodging a layup.

Vogel is still somewhat capable. After returning from the timeout, the Pacers' offense was obviously more efficient than before the timeout.

10 to 15.

The current score difference between the two sides has been fluctuating around 5 points. It depends on who can break this stalemate first.

Lin Ying catches the ball in the frontcourt and makes a transition before passing the ball to Jokic.

He somewhat understands how to maintain health.

Lin Ying continued to cut in to contain the defense, and then came out from the weak side to prepare to catch the ball.

Lin Ying's ability to run without the ball is also very strong, and the Pacers' defense was quickly overwhelmed after being disturbed.

At this time, Jokic made a blind pass behind his head and dumped the ball directly into the hands of Ariza in the weak side corner.

Because he and Lin Ying were on the same side, the Pacers didn't expect it at all.

Ariza also caught the ball and took another quick shot.

This is his second shot of this quarter.

The last time it was passed by Lin Ying, he couldn't hit it.

"Whoa!"

But this time, he got it!

Let alone Karl at this time, even Vogel was almost drooling when he looked at Jokic.

A core inside player who can hold the ball and play in singles is really valuable in this era when inside players are scarce!

…

106 to 93.

The Nets finally defeated the Pacers at home, ushering in a good start to the season.

In terms of statistics, for the Pacers, George scored 27 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. He seemed even stronger than before the injury.

For the Nets, Lin Ying had 28 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists, Jokic had 26 points, 11 rebounds, 10 assists and 5 turnovers, and JR had 18 points.

There was a small detail on the sidelines. At the end of the game, Durant stood up and high-fived his Nets teammates off the court one by one.

Combined with his performance in the game, he has completely integrated into this team.

At the post-game press conference, Lin Ying and Jokic attended with Karl.

Although Lin Ying got the highest score in the game, compared with his personal ability, this data was only at the passing line.

In comparison, Jokic's performance can be considered amazing.

Reporters made Jokic the focus of questions, and Karl also praised Jokic.

"He is a subversive player. There has never been a big player who passed the ball as well as him. His golf IQ makes the game easier."

Jokic is said to be a bit shy.

"Do you think Jokic will continue to perform like this?"

When the reporter asked Lin Ying questions, he also asked about Jokic.

"Yes, without a doubt."

Lin Ying gave an affirmative answer, and after answering, he did not forget his usual humor,

"He is no longer a rookie and will not encounter the rookie wall."

…

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed since the season started.

The Nets achieved a record of 5 wins and 2 losses, tied with the Raptors for second place in the Eastern Conference.

Among them, they lost one game to the Warriors and one game to the Spurs.

Jokic averaged 19.5 points, 10.8 rebounds and 7.6 assists in 7 games. Although the average of 3.8 turnovers per game is a bit high, this data is already very abnormal.

You must know that in NBA history, even passers of Sabonis and Divac's level can hardly average more than 5 assists per game in their peak seasons.

Although the sample size of the game is still relatively small, it is enough to show that Karl's previous post-game praise was not bragging, and Jokic is indeed a subversive player.

Jokic was a surprise, and the Nets' performance was a joy.

In the absence of Durant, their performance has exceeded expectations.

However, as predicted by ESPN before the game, this season is full of madness.

The Eastern Conference is relatively normal, with the first-ranked Cavaliers having 6 wins and 1 loss.

What’s really crazy is that in the Western Conference, the Warriors have won 8 consecutive games since the start of the season, and have an average margin of victory over their opponents of 15+ per game!

"Brave Three Crazy" has become the symbol of the Warriors this season.

When they enter the second half in a stalemate with their opponents, they will inevitably open up the score quickly in the third quarter;

And when they fell behind and entered the third quarter, they immediately explained what "that point is not enough for them to chase"!

Curry has also played an extremely crazy season. Since the beginning of the season, he has averaged 32 points per game and hit 6 three-pointers per game.

Jokic is a subversive inside player, and Curry is a subversive outside player!

Under the madness of the Warriors, the Spurs, Lakers, and Clippers all got off to a 6-1 start.

The Spurs' performance was expected, but the Lakers, who switched to defense, also gave people a completely different flavor. Of course, the Clippers' performance was the most surprising.

Deron really has a second life with the Clippers!

Griffin finally stood up in the Western Conference.

Then fans discovered that the Clippers' lineup is really not bad at all!

The Mavericks, Thunder, and Timberwolves are also following closely behind. This season's Western Conference will be more purgatory than any previous season.

…

After half a month's rest, Durant is only one step away from returning to action with the team doctor's permission.

On this day, Lin Ying accompanied Durant to undergo final examinations at the local hospital in Brooklyn.

Durant seems very confident because he knows his body best.

Lin Ying was also looking forward to it.

Although the team has performed well so far this season, it has lost two games against the Warriors and Spurs. This also shows that the team's current lineup has a high lower limit, but if the upper limit is to be stable, Durant must come out.

After the examination, Durant's body was completely restored to health.

In other words, if the coaching staff agrees, Durant can play in the next game!

"Shadow, who will we play in the next game?"

Durant is so impatient now that it's impossible for the coaching staff to stop him from playing.

"Thunder, away."
