Vol 2 Chapter 626: Cornerstone players (one / four!)

The Raptors' offense missed, and Jokic continued to hold the ball outside the front three-point line.

This time, the Raptors are really a little overwhelmed, especially Valanciunas, he is not a big center, it is not out.

At this time, Casey made a choice on the sidelines as head coach, allowing Valanciunas to continue to retreat near the free throw line.

The center's three-pointer is unbeatable, at least one rookie should be.

Jokic made another three-pointer.

"Oh!"

After feeling the shot, his second shot was even more accurate than the previous round and went straight into the net!

10 to 10, the Nets even tied the score directly!

Casey reached for a timeout.

The Nets players shouted an excited shout, especially Jokic, who was touched and high-fried by his teammates, just like picking up treasure.

Tang Tian is also in a good mood. Although Jokic cannot always maintain this feel, but the Raptors defense will definitely change if he scores two three-pointers. This is good news for the Nets.

Sure enough, the suspension came back, Casey replaced Amir Johnson with Louis Williams and directly used the big four and small lineups.

Luis Williams was able to cast and break, and Bogdan Bogdanovich came up.

12 to 10, the Raptors took the lead again.

Deron dribbled to the front court and gave the ball to Jokic.

But at this moment, Amir Johnson was close to Jokic, and the players at other points followed his defenders closely.

Although there is no center, but depending on the speed, the Raptors' defensive strength is significantly higher than before.

The Nets' offense was once again restrained. Fortunately, there was Deron on the court. He ran over to get the ball from Jokic. After he signaled the other players to pull away, he let Yi Jianlian down and gave the ball in.

In the big four and small four, the power forward position is generally more able to carry, such as the Warriors' Green this season, the Thunder's Tucker last season, etc., are all this type of player, but DeRozan obviously is not.

Casey, a big one and a small one, still didn't learn the essence of Tang Tian.

Yi Jian hit DeRozan on the back of the ball. After taking two steps with his strength, Yi Jian turned and leaned back.

DeRozan couldn't get up and had limited interference.

"Oh!"

Yi Jianlian delivered the ball steadily into the basket.

He played the main force for 4 years in the Rockets, and started in the Cavaliers for 2 years. His strength has improved a lot, not to mention that after returning to Tang Tian, ​​the dealer will go back. It is still very stable to play DeRozan.

The Nets tied the score again.

The fans on the spot didn't sit still, whether they want to or not, after experiencing a 0 to 6 loss in the opening, the Nets have slowed down and started stalemate with the Raptors.

This is completely different from the Nets they played a week ago, and I don't know what magic magic Tang Tian used. This first game made the Nets have such a big change.

After playing several rounds, DeRozan was eaten raw by Yi Jianlian, which also affected his feel on the offensive end.

When the first quarter hit more than 8 minutes, 22 to 16, the Nets in turn led the Raptors 6 points!

Fortunately, this time has come to the bench period, both sides have gradually entered the rotation.

Tang Tian replaced Joe Johnson and Lopez.

Joe Johnson's performance after playing was still not very good. It can be seen that he was a little dead pig is not afraid of boiling water. After the first quarter, Tang Tian directly let Moore replace him.

But Lopez was brave and brave, and he played very well in this period. His offensive strength is quasi-all-star level, and he is still very sure of playing the Raptors' bench.

After returning to the main force in the second quarter, the Nets instead pulled the difference to double digits.

Frank gazed at the sidelines, which was exactly how Tianji raced.

The fans at the scene were a little restless, so suppressed by the 10-game losing Nets, this feeling was very depressed.

At this time, Casey did not make the first four teams, but changed the defense, let Amir Johnson go to Jokic, and let Valanciunas keep the basket.

Amir Johnson's confrontation is very good, Jokic really does not necessarily move, but in this case, Yi Jianlian's opportunity has come again.

Delong assisted Yi Jianlian in a series of field goal attempts, a three-pointer in the middle range, the point difference reached 15 points, and stopped the Raptors.

Casey was so anxious that he was completely suppressed by his old boss.

Tang Tian is rather calm. This game is played like this, which has a lot to do with Kathy's self-reliance in the big four and small, and aside from this level, Jokic is the point to reverse the situation.

Although there were not many points, rebounds and assists, his presence disrupted the Raptors' defense system, which was followed by Yi Jianlian's outstanding performance.

In other words, this is why Jokic can become a cornerstone player.

At least he has the talent for this.

DeRozan recovered in the second half, helping the Raptors to chase points in a row, but after Tang Tian went to Simmons to drive him out of the three-point line, the Raptors' momentum of chasing was also curbed.

108 vs. www.readwn.com ~ The Nets finally stopped the Raptors' counterattack, ending a 10-game losing streak.

DeRozan cut 29 points and 11 rebounds and failed to lead the team to win the game.

On the Nets side, Yi Jianlian ushered in an explosion. He contributed a game-high 30 points on 11-of-19 shooting, plus 9 rebounds and 2 blocks, playing the best game so far in the season.

Deron 16 points and 9 assists, Lopez 14 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists, Bogdan Bogdanovic 12 points, Will Button 9 points and 3 rebounds.

Jokic played a season-high 30 minutes, 4 of 7 shots, including 2 3-pointers, 4 of 3 free throws, 13 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists.

There are not many points, rebounds and assists, but his impact on the field is obvious to the naked eye.

After the game, the Nets players shouted and screamed excitedly there, it felt like winning the championship.

However, Tang Tian knew how they felt, or foresaw it before.

Ending a 10-game losing streak and winning an opponent who lost 30 points at home before, this is enough to make the team's morale soar.

After the celebration was over there, Tang Tian pulled Jokic to say something of encouragement.

Jokic's opening two three-pointers were really crucial and almost determined the trend of the game.

But after saying the words of encouragement, he also said some cold water.

"You will not always maintain that level of precision, so continue to be patient and continue to improve. The later games you will reach a higher defensive intensity, more targeted defense, there is still a lot to learn, and maintain a positive attitude. . "

Jokic nodded vigorously. Whether it was the chicken soup encouragement to him when he was the boss at the beginning of the season, or the reminder and training now, he can feel Tang Tian's dependence on him. He couldn't ask himself to reach Tang Tian. Requirements, but he will try to do so.
