To put it bluntly, role players need core players to play well, because most of them are functional players.

The Nets used to have many core players, and sometimes they could even have two core players lead the bench.

But with only Lin Ying and Jokic left this season, the situation will naturally be different.

And because this season many times require dual-core scoring to maintain the situation, it is unrealistic to ask them to lead substitutes on the bench.

Take Gay for example. At his peak, he only touched Durant’s butt. Now he is not even a quasi-All-Star, otherwise he would not be worth only 10 million. This league has no

So many bargains to pick up.

But even so, he is still above the league average.

His struggle has something to do with his personal condition and the intensity of the defense he receives.

He is the only one of the Nets' substitutes who is a threat when holding the ball, so why don't they attack him frantically?

But after Rose was put on the bench, this problem was greatly alleviated.

Rose and Gay are no longer at their peak. It would be difficult for either of them to serve as the sixth man, but what if they are put together?

This is Lu’s strategic adjustment.

Three cobblers, the best Zhuge Liang!

Rose and Gay restrained each other on the court and shared the defensive pressure with each other. The result was as the game showed, both of them were in good condition.

Of course, given the current situation of the game, Caruso's performance is crucial.

Although he only scored 7 points in the three quarters, these 7 points were crucial and meaningful.

In the fourth quarter of the game, the two sides were still in a stalemate.

Although the strategic adjustments made by Lu are very meaningful, in the decisive stage, the competition is the performance of the stars.

The Big Three of the Lakers are in good shape, but if the Nets want to open up the score, they still have to look for opportunities.

It's a pity that such an opportunity did not come. After Caruso's stunning performance in the third quarter, he was taken care of and did not have any more outstanding performances.

The game came to the final decisive moment, and it was at this time that Lin Ying's role began to be infinitely magnified.

It's like when you play a game, the more powerful the hero, the greater the effect in the endgame.

At this time, the physical energy of both sides was extremely exhausted. Even James had a hard time scoring the ball. This is reflected in Lin Ying's superiority over the Lakers' Big Three.

His consecutive difficult goals at the last minute directly helped the Nets win the game.

114 to 110, the Nets won by 4 points in the end.

The results of the games were the same as in the past, the wins were thrilling, and the scoring was still concentrated on the dual cores.

Lin Ying scored 46 points and 6 assists, and Jokic also had a near-triple-double with 27 points, 16 rebounds and 7 assists.

But winning this game is very meaningful to the Nets.

Because the Nets completed the reversal, and the role players in the half of the reversal performed brilliantly.

Or from a certain perspective, this is a new beginning for the Nets this season.

After the game, Walken Dean excitedly went to the court and hugged the Nets players one by one.

The worry that weighed on his shoulders and made him frown before the game seemed to have dissipated at this time.

Of course, during the Lakers' half at this time, James was breathing heavily and looking at the score on the court from time to time, feeling desperate.

What could be more despairing than having such a crucial battle reversed?

Paul went over to comfort James for a while and also mentioned Cousins.

Although it is a pity to lose, they still have Cousins ​​​​not playing tonight. If they keep this state, when Cousins ​​​​comes back, the Lakers still have a good chance of winning.

…

At the press conference after the game, Lu not only brought Lin Ying and Jokic, but also specially brought Caruso.

What's more, what people didn't expect was that this press conference turned into a "card blowing conference".

"Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, and Alex was obviously prepared and did more than I imagined."

As soon as Lu opened his mouth, he said that Caruso was embarrassed.

"I enjoy playing on the court with Alex. You know guarding perimeter players is not my strong point. With him on the court, I don't have such troubles."

Jokic boasted very honestly. As a fat guy who can run less, there is really nothing that would make him happier than this.

"The one who has been training with me the longest this summer is Alex. It's not surprising that he performed well, but to be honest, his performance still surprised me. This shows that he is fully capable of doing more."

But when it came to blowing, Lin Ying blew the hardest, and Caruso immediately turned red in the face.

When the reporter finally turned the question to Caruso, the bald guy was so nervous that he couldn't speak clearly.

Fortunately, after taking a few deep breaths, he finally recovered.

"I only scored 10 points, although this is already the highest score in my career."

He's quite humorous.

"I just do what I can do. To win tonight, other people have made greater contributions. Coach, Lin and Nikola praised me. I just want to encourage me. I accept such encouragement and strive for

Do better in the next games.”

His attitude is very humble.

This also made the reporters in the audience suddenly like him.

Of course, this also includes Lin Ying and Jokic on the side.

Although many stars have their own personalities, as a player, you know best whether they are or are not.

Caruso's youthful temperament was completely inconsistent with the shiny back of his head, but it happened to be a voice from his heart.

What's the reason not to like such a teammate?

Moreover, Lin Ying was also happy. After tonight's game, he felt that the courage on his shoulders was much lighter.

For the Nets, this will be a very good new starting point.
