This Forward is Not Serious

McMillan said nothing more.

Because of the slam dunk contest, the story of JR and Bell has been widely publicized, and he certainly knows it.

Although this reason is not as well known as Lin Ying's Heavenly Eyes, it is indeed worth a try.

...

The next day's training session, before training began, Karl announced the coaching staff's decision.

"JR will start the next game."

A very short sentence, but JR's whole person was stunned.

His last start dates back to the Nuggets days.

From his original talent, he has gradually become a role player who can only play the sixth man at most. .

But now he's got a chance, a chance to start in the Finals.

"Okay, let's start training!"

After Karl finished speaking, many players stepped forward to congratulate JR.

"Come on, don't let the coach down."

Lin Ying also smiled and punched JR in the chest.

McMillan saw this scene, and the few remaining doubts disappeared.

This reaction of the team members shows that Lin Ying is not the only one who sees JR's progress and changes.

Being recognized by his teammates is more convincing than the reason Lin Ying gave yesterday.

...

G4 of the finals, much attention.

"It will be a close contest, and the result of the game will make people look forward to it."

On the commentary stand, Kenny Smith started the heat early.

"This is also a great opportunity for the Spurs. Once they win this home game, the big score between the two sides will reach 3-1. No team has ever completed a 1-3 reversal in NBA history."

Smith continued.

"I think Kenny is right, this is the Nets' last chance, and it's not that big."

Buckley took the call.

"I do think the Nets have a great chance tonight."

O'Neal said.

"Why?"

Kenny Smith spoke.

"Shaq's sixth sense."

O'Neal tapped his temple with his fingers and continued to show his talent for interpretation.

"The Nets are going to be bad. Men's sixth sense is generally wrong."

Buckley went on to say it seriously.

After saying this, O'Neal laughed directly.

Because of Barkley's success in "undercover" for two consecutive years, he had to listen to what he said when he commented on the Lin Ying competition.

O'Neal can be considered a live experience now!

At this time, the warm-up on the field is over, and it is immediately the stage of the appearance ceremony.

The Nets took the lead as the visiting team.

The substitutes have already stood in two rows on the field, forming a "debut channel".

"Deron Williams~"

The appearance ceremony has begun.

Delong came first, followed by JR.

Lin Ying saw JR beside him taking a deep breath.

Although he was given "trust", it would be a lie to say that he was not nervous when he was ordered in the finals.

Lin Ying put his hand on JR's shoulder, nodded to him when JR turned his head, and cast a positive look.

"JR Smith~"

The host at the scene called out JR's name, and JR nodded back to Lin Ying, then stood up.

In the next half court, Popovich froze for a moment when he heard this, then stuck his head out and glanced at the Nets' half court, as if confirming.

This adjustment surprised him just like the previous "Death Five".

It wouldn't surprise him that the Nets would start with Yi Jianlian, but it was JR.

Like he won't start with Mills.

Because these are masters of chaos, bench bandits.

He then gave his trademark knowing smile.

Forcibly bringing JR up to the starting lineup will not only cost the bench a point, but may also disrupt the starting lineup.

Originally, the two sides were evenly matched after the last game, but this adjustment of the Nets gave the Spurs an advantage in "passive".

No matter how good a coach is, there is no guarantee that every adjustment will be correct.

Wow, God bless San Antonio!

After the opening ceremony, the starters of the two teams were released.

Nets: Deron, JR, Butler, Lin Ying, Chandler;

Spurs: Parker, Green, Leonard, Duncan, Diaw.

The game started immediately, and photographers swept through the audience.

This time Jordan didn't come, but Stern came.

It also highlights the importance of this game.

Duncan won the jump ball and the home team had the opportunity to take the lead.

The Spurs continued to play the hammer.

Green received a pass from Duncan in the corner and opened his hand to hit the Spurs' first goal of the night, also a 3-pointer.

A very good start.

There were also cheers from Spurs fans.

Although San Antonio has a small football market, because the team is in the championship competition all the year round, the loyalty of fans is high.

"Defense! Defense!"

This does not return to the defensive end, the scene was filled with cheers from fans.

The Spurs started off with a high defensive intensity.

It seems that although Popovich has not made adjustments to the starting lineup, there have been changes in his style of play.

This is trying to get a head start in the opening as soon as possible.

This is also understandable. In a close match, the one who takes the lead first will gain the initiative.

Lin Ying saw it, and then entered the white-hot space without hesitation.

He reached out for the ball, then sped through the trio, and a nice sideways confrontation hit Dio's head.

The shouting stopped abruptly.

Popovich clenched his fists involuntarily.

This is more unreasonable than Kobe!

The two teams were evenly matched in the opening game.

The Spurs' machine-like operation made their hammer tactics undefensible.

And Green's touch in the opening game also shows that they have a very good touch on the perimeter tonight.

But Popovich's approach to opening the scoring didn't work either.

Because Lin Ying in the white-hot space state, really couldn't prevent it.

The last player who made him feel so helpless was Kobe Bryant, the pinnacle of the Spurs' kill in those years.

Five minutes into the game, the score was 12-11.

Nets offense.

Popovich got up and walked to the sidelines, signaled to adjust his defensive strategy, and began to shrink.

Lin Ying broke through and was attacked by many people, turned around and jumped to distribute the ball to Delong on the outside.

Deron catches the ball and makes a three-pointer.

"when!"

Deviate.

The rebound was grabbed by Duncan's long arm, and the Spurs quickly played a defensive counterattack. Parker sped off Deron and scored a layup to help the Spurs overtake the score.

Popovich applauded the players from the sidelines.

It seems that some things can't be changed no matter how the Nets adjust.

Except for Lin Ying, the Nets team played under the Spurs' defensive intensity.

Then as long as the death five points that Karl will use later, the victory will belong to the Spurs.

And there is also good news for the Spurs. Because Lin Ying started the offensive mode early, it is also a huge unknown whether the next death five can guard against Duncan.

There is also a good chance of opening the score with the Spurs' touch tonight if they use flanking.

There are four quarters and 48 minutes, but not every game takes that long to be decided.

Judging from the state of the opening two teams, the Spurs have a great chance of winning tonight.

Lin Ying continued to break through.

The Nets are really in a bad situation right now.

Lin Ying also has to maintain scoring mode, because once he stops, the Nets will be pulled away without waiting for the rotation.

The Spurs, who had benefited from the early possessions, continued to shrink their defense.

Lin Ying gave the ball to Delong again.

Delong did not continue to shoot, but feinted and gave the ball to JR on the weak side.

JR was replaced by the starter and attracted a lot of attention, including Popovich's.

But after the opening, he has been in a state of turning back and running on the field.

This also made him gradually forgotten, including Popovich, who automatically classified him as "role switching, unable to adapt for a while".

This is also quite reasonable. Players who can freely switch between the two roles are not ordinary people. JR is obviously not in this category.

So JR caught the ball at this moment and accidentally got a big open opportunity.

He made the shot decisively.

"It was also a very reasonable shot, arguably the best chance the Nets have had since the opening game."

On the commentary seat, O'Neal gave an evaluation.

"But for JR, generally reasonable shots he can't make."

Barkley promptly followed up.

"Shh!"

Before he finished speaking, there was a crisp sound of entering the Internet from the field.

JR seized the opportunity and hit a three-pointer!

O'Neal's eyes widened for a moment.

Kenny Smith was already laughing.

O'Neal's time to explain with them is still short!

This three-pointer is crucial.

In fact, one of the reasons why the Nets coaching staff would first think of JR when changing the starting lineup is that JR showed a very good spatial effect in the final quarter of G1.

Lin Ying is strong, but not invincible.

If the Nets have little space on the court, even Lin Ying will have a hard time breaking through to the inside line.

It would also be difficult for Lin Ying to maintain high efficiency if he ended up with a mid-to-long shot.

This change is also reflected in the next round.

After defending a wave of the Spurs' attack, the Nets attacked the frontcourt, and Deron directly signaled that JR was on the strong side.

Then when Lin Ying broke through, the space became significantly larger.

A beautiful confrontation layup, Lin Ying helped the Nets continue to score.

17 to 13.

The goal was scored, and the Nets began to have the momentum to take the initiative on the court.

Just then, the Nets made a substitution.

Chandler was substituted, but it was not Claude but Yi Jianlian who was replaced.

The stability of the situation made Carl not in a hurry to use the death five hours.

Yi Jianlian performed well when he played, and successfully blocked Parker's gyro layup after switching defenses.

"Yi will get a good contract this summer."

This performance also made Barkley in the commentary seat sigh.

Because this summer not only Butler's contract expired, but also the three-year contract that Yi Jianlian signed in 2011.

If Butler and Yi Jianlian can't stay in the end, it will be really difficult for the Nets.

Because as far as the Nets' existing lineup is concerned, these two are considered core rotations with low salaries and high energy.

On the court, the Nets played a fast break, and JR received a pass from Lin Ying in the fast break and scored a dunk.

19 to 13!

Popovich called a timeout.

Now the Spurs not only failed to take the lead in the opening game, but they are about to be pulled away by the Nets!

JR was greeted warmly by his teammates when he came off the court.

McMillan reached out and gave JR a high five.

From the initial opposition to the current high five, McMillan's change is the best embodiment of JR's change.

After the suspension came back, the Spurs also made early substitution adjustments.

Ginobili came on.

Popovich is generally staggered against Ginobili and Parker.

Because in his current tactical system, Parker and Manu Ginobili are organized, with a shooter on the line.

But now, he replaced Green.

This rotation change is also somewhat surprising.

But soon, Lin Ying found out what Popovich wanted to do.

Because the Spurs came back for the first attack, the Spurs did not play the hammer tactics, and the others directly pulled away to let Ginobili single against JR.

It seems that in Popovich's eyes, JR's defense can become a breakthrough on the field.

JR, really didn't guard Ginobili.

Although the demon knife is old, the blade is still sharp.

However, his final breakthrough failed to complete the score.

Because although JR failed to defend Ginobili, he used his progressive defense to force the left-handed Ginobili to take an unaccustomed right.

Then Yi Jianlian's help came up and successfully interfered with Ginobili's shot.

The basketball smashed out of the frame, and the rebound was taken off by Lin Ying, who recovered. Manu Ginobili chose to foul directly to prevent the Nets' fast break.

There was a commotion at the scene.

The first offense that came back from the suspension failed to score and was awarded a foul, which was a big blow to the team's morale.

The Nets advanced to the frontcourt.

Now they're pulling the score away, even straight to double-digit chances!

This is the best start the team has faced since the finals started!

The Nets attacked in the frontcourt, and Deron held the ball at the top of the arc.

"Defense! Defense!"

There were screams of nervousness from Spurs fans.

Lin Ying left the white-hot space, and now moved to the weak side to contain him.

Delong and Yi Jianlian broke through the basket after playing a pick-and-roll.

The Spurs opted for a strong-side contraction.

Because of Lin Ying's restraint, the Nets have a chance on the outside line on the strong side.

Deron decisively chose to score the ball, and the ball went to Butler.

Butler attracted help defense, and then distributed to JR.

JR catches the ball and shoots directly.

Leonard flew down, and his big hand directly covered JR's shot.

Joe Johnson struggled in the Finals because of Leonard's defense.

JR jumped higher, but still couldn't get rid of this defensive pressure.

However, his shot was still decisive.

Also, there was no intentional elevation of the release angle to avoid the block.

"Superstars" will not back down because of defensive pressure!

What you want is confidence.

The basketball passed Leonard's fingertips~www.readwn.com~ and was almost fanned out.

very lucky.

"Shh!"

Then, fall firmly into the mesh bag!

JR, the second three-pointer made in the first quarter!

If there is a chance, he can really throw in!

There was a commotion at the scene.

Popovich was even more stunned in disbelief.

He can grasp the opportunity and the defense is also very bright. Is this the JR he is familiar with?

On the Nets' bench, Karl smiled.

He has the most trust in JR, and he was the one who proposed to start JR in the coaching staff.

Facts have proved that the current JR is better than he imagined,

Even better!
