The Godfather of Basketball

On January 30, the Nets played against the Grizzlies.

This is a bitter battle for the team. The Grizzlies double bears turned the Nets over the fragile inside of the Nets, while the Nets relied on stalemate with outside firepower.

Several times behind and several times approaching, the team showed unprecedented resilience in the cheering of the fans on the spot.

Joe Johnson still didn't get a chance to play. He sat quietly at the end of the bench, holding his mouth and watching the game.

The only difference from the past few months is that he has some desire to fight in his eyes.

At the last moment of the game, the Nets continued to counterattack by relying on rapid defense in the case of 7 points behind. At one point, the score narrowed to 3 points, but the weak inside line still made them fall short. Hit the iron in the middle distance, the team lost 89 to 91.

At the end of the game, the fans at the scene gave encouraging applause to the home team.

Despite losing the game, the players' hard work won their respect.

Tang Tian also greeted the team members and raised their fists high, and the team members also successively raised their hands.

"Nets!"

"Come on!"

The shouts of the players made fans more and more fond of this team.

But just then, several fans noticed that Joe Johnson standing outside the circle was just a symbolic raise of his hand.

The ace they were expecting, the cold-blooded killer nicknamed "Single Singles Joe", if he was in the last goal just now, there is a high probability that the game will be dragged into overtime, but unfortunately, he can't even enter rotation now.

Joe Johnson felt his gaze and turned to see the front row of fans.

The fans saw him turning his head, smiled awkwardly at him, and then hurriedly left the field.

Joe Johnson then turned to look around.

When he was here just now, how many fans held up his KT board with his name to cheer him on, and looked forward to him bringing the championship to this team, but now, except for those fans, I am afraid most people Have forgotten him.

After completing the final refueling ceremony, Tang Tian led the team members to the locker room.

He walked to the end of the team and glanced at the end of the bench, and he's likely to be sitting there all season.

"Come on, Joe!"

When he reached the player channel, someone suddenly shouted at him from above.

He looked up and then saw the fans who had looked at him before.

Instead of leaving, they came to the aisle.

Seeing him look past, those fans made a scream and made a cheering gesture to him.

He stunned and waved at them with a smile. Before entering the player channel, he took off his training clothes and threw them to them.

There was a smile on the corner of his mouth after entering the passage.

Ending the game with the Grizzlies, the Nets are still at home for the next game and will play back to back against the Lakers, who are currently sixth in the West.

After a fairly sweet schedule in the previous period, the next game was not so easy.

Tang Tian only arranged a basic training in the afternoon. The previous game was too fierce, and it was necessary for the players to recover their strength.

It was during training that Tang Tian found that Joe Johnson was a little different from before.

Regardless of shooting training or confrontation training, his performance is obviously more positive than before.

By the time of the whole match, his continuous tough defense gave Bogdan Bogdanovic a headache, and several offenses on the offensive side made him feel good.

"Let Joe replace Taylor Johnson on the activation list in the next game." Tang Tian turned to Frank.

In fact, the choice does not have to be face to face. Johnson's positive state has already shown that he has made a choice.

Putting him on the activation list is also affirmation of his positive side.

That night, the Barclays Center was crowded and the team was in good condition. In addition, against the Lakers led by Yao Ming Kobe, the attendance rate was close to 90%, which was the highest this month.

Although the Lakers this season, Bryant and Yao Ming stopped, but rookie Raven performed very well, the team is still in the playoffs.

Both Yao Ming and Kobe played in this game. It can be seen that coach Byron Scott is determined to win this game.

During training before the game, Yao Ming and Tang Tian talked for a while in the midfield.

This is the first time the two have met face to face since Tang Tian returned to coach.

Both the teacher and the apprentice have worked in the two teams for 5 years, and then count the national team, which is relatively rare in the NBA.

When they were almost talking, the scene soon entered the opening ceremony, and the two teams' starters were introduced one after another.

On the Lakers side, rookie Jordan Clarkson and Kobe are on the perimeter, Wesley Johnson and Carlos Boozer are on the front line, and center Yao Ming.

On the Nets side, Deron Williams and Bogdan Bogdanovic are on the perimeter, and Bojan Bogdanovic and Yi Jianlian are on the front line. Center Lopez.

The game started immediately, and the two sides started to play one after another. Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian jumped the ball. When they came to the midfield, they chatted and smiled at each other.

At this time in front of the TV, a large number of Chinese fans also gathered.

With the increase in Yao Ming's injuries, such a Chinese derby has become rare, and fans will naturally not miss it.

"beep!"

In the referee's whistle, Yi Jianlian returned the ball to the Nets' half, and the home team got the opportunity to lead the attack.

Lopez's response from the high post, Bogdan Bogdanovich volleyed an empty layup, but was blocked by Yao Ming's back defense.

Although he still suffers injuries when he is older, he is a 4-MVP player. After all, Bogdan's challenge ended in failure.

Delong did not throw in three points on the perimeter. Yao Ming took the defensive rebound ~ www.readwn.com ~ The ball went to the frontcourt. Kobe sat down to play Bogdan. Low layup and layup.

The Lakers had a strong start to the game.

Yi Jianlian attacked Boozer with a ball frame in the frontcourt, breaking the layup and causing the latter to hit a foul.

After making two free throws from the free throw line, the Nets also started scoring.

But when he turned around, Kobe was still sitting and playing Bogdan. This time, he continued to falter. When he shot, he directly made a Bogdan foul.

Kobe Bryant is not efficient in scoring because of Achilles tendon injury this season, but in the face of a first-year rookie like Bogdan, his experience is used to the extreme, one shot at a time.

Against the noise of the sky, Bryant made two free throws again, and Bryant scored the first four points of the Lakers.

Some fans cheered at the scene. Despite being an opponent, Kobe never lacked fans in the league, even if he is now 36 years old. 8)
