Leading by only 6 points, Mike Brown is very satisfied with this result!
In the next rotation battle, the advantage is still with the Lakers. It is very likely that the point difference can be expanded to double digits. By then, the disadvantage of back-to-back battles can also be sustained.
Wake Forest University's double-gun suppression continues. Paul and Su Bei are young and strong and don't need to rest.
Kobe and Gasol took the opportunity to recuperate.
With the addition of Artest, Jamison, and P.J. Tucker, the rotation battle is still a low-end version of the F4 lineup that is very capable.
The Nets only showed their ability to make money in the last two years. After all, they are not as deep as the Lakers. The starting five are really good, but the rotation is far behind.
Joe Johnson leads the team alone, with the starting five players, and the other four are on hiatus.
Send Stackhouse, Lake Evans, Andre Blache and CJ Watson.
“The advantage in the rotation battle lies with the Lakers!
The Nets have the offensive ball. Next, let’s see how they respond?
CJ Watson controls the ball to the frontcourt, and others pull away. Is this a one-on-one challenge to Paul?
OMG!
Suddenly dribbling the ball to break through, he suddenly braked, stepped down and dribbled back, retreated to the three-point line, immediately raised the ball, raised his hand and shot a three-point pull-up jumper..."
CJ Watson is 1.88 meters tall. As an undrafted player, his only advantage is that he can score points on the court.
This time I won’t talk about the sudden stop, pull back, and then pull up for a three-pointer. The idea is to use his height and shooting to test Paul’s 183-cm tallness.
It is said that Paul's defense is very strong, but that was when he was prepared. Now he was caught off guard. He suffered a 183 loss. Who could withstand such a test could only listen to the sound of gunshots.
Swish——!
"pretty!!
Just after he came on the court, CJ Watson scored an unreasonable three-pointer! !
There’s no explanation, this is a superstar’s style of play, it’s really unbeatable…”
28 to 31! !
The point difference became 3 points! !
Looking back, Paul chose to break through and use his physical talent to crush CJ Watson. Joe Johnson let Artest open and pounced to attack.
"A beautiful back-up pass. Paul sent the damn basketball to the left wing. Artest caught the ball and without saying a word, he pulled the ball and shot..."
Joe Johnson cared about wiping CJ's butt, but couldn't care about his own butt. He could only desperately change his position, rush forward and come back to fight, and then bet that Artest would only rub it outside and not shoot inside. .
Swish——!
You guessed it wrong, Artest also has needs. He is in the contract year, and he also wants to show that he can still be tough, and he can shoot three-pointers and hit them steadily.
"bingo!
Very nice response. Three points!
CJ Watson is strong in offense and weak in defense. He has strong offensive talent and can hit three-pointers.
His height is a flaw, but offensively, he can use his assist ability to assist his teammates and regain the lost points..."
bring it on!
Let’s hurt each other!
28 to 34! !
The point difference is still 6 points, and the advantage is still with the Lakers.
Outside the court, the home fans cheered, obviously seeing that the wind direction of the game was on our side of the lake.
In transition, the Nets attack.
CJ Watson took the ball to the frontcourt and immediately pressed Paul hard to prevent him from shooting a three-pointer.
No problem, he could launch a sneak attack, but if he attacked Paul head-on, that was unnecessary.
“The ball was passed to Joe Johnson on the left, and the three threats with the ball singled out Artest.
Artest responded well to the continuous probing steps. He didn't regard Joe Johnson's three-pointer as alive at all. When he broke through, Artest engaged in hand-to-hand combat, unable to perform mid-range shots and breakthroughs.
Oops, CJ Watson moved to the left without the ball. Joe Johnson turned around to cover CJ Watson, and handed the basketball to CJ Watson.
Paul's pressing was blocked by Joe Johnson, and Artest was slow to change defense.
OMG!
Needless to say, C.J. Watson received the ball, took one step away from the three-point line, shot the ball, and then raised his hand to try a blind pull-up three-point jumper..."
Another damn superstar ball!
Artest's defensive skills are not bad, and his defensive attitude is not bad, but his athletic ability has declined too much, and the flaws in his speed are even more obvious. It is too late to save, so he can only bet on CJ Watson's There are no bullets in the three-point pistol.
Swish——!
I guessed wrong. There were still bullets in Watson's three-point pistol. He pulled out the three-point gun and still hit it steadily!
“Beautiful three points!!
Watson shot like crazy, hitting two unreasonable three-pointers in a row and hitting them accurately. The Lakers had absolutely nothing to do..."
31 to 34! !
In Hong Kong, Watson averaged 7 points and 2 assists per game, but role players are role players. Once upon a time, he was also the main killer on the NCAA stage.
It's really hard to deal with seizures.
It happened to happen to Paul.
Originally, he took two unreasonable three-pointers from Deron in the first quarter. Unexpectedly, before he could properly teach Deron how to substitute, he was killed by Deron's substitution.
It’s so out of this world!
Looking back, he chose to take action himself and return the lost points.
"Paul is angry. Anyone else would have to fight to kill CJ Watson!
Who asked CJ Watson to mess with others? What did Paul do!
Sure enough, with the ball in the frontcourt, Paul dribbled the ball to the right to break through, braked suddenly, stepped down and dribbled to the left, and then shot the ball to the right.
Paul's change of direction from right to left was completed in just an instant. CJ Watson straightened his head and kept up with Paul's movements, but his body could not keep up.
Paul faced CJ Watson head-on after his center of gravity was unbalanced. Is this a ploy?
Beep——!
The whistle sounded and C.J. Watson was fouled. At the same time, Paul's breakthrough layup was not over yet. The final shot would be there..."
Bang-dang——!
The basket was not used to Paul, and the opportunity came up. Paul's shot failed to send the damn basketball into the basket, and he missed the 3-point opportunity to play 2+1.
Fortunately, there are guaranteed free throws. If you fail to score, you will get two free throws to get a point.
Standing on the free throw line, Paul didn't show any mercy. With two swishes, he steadily made the free throw.
31 to 36! !
The score difference became 5 points.
The Lakers don't understand defense, and neither can the Nets!
Off the court, Avery Johnson had a headache!
Role player CJ Watson's two unexpected three-pointers failed to make up for the deficit in the first quarter. Is the Lakers' offensive ability too strong?
No way, I can only hope that Joe Johnson can get hard.
The reason why the Nets fell behind to the Lakers in the first quarter was because he was beaten by Kobe. Now that Kobe is not on the court, if he doesn't score points desperately, when will he wait?
On the field, Joe Johnson seemed to hear the coach's voice.
It's just that he attacked with the ball, but he couldn't break Artest's physical closeness.
“Still can’t beat Artest!
Joe Johnson went in and was forced back by Artest's press.
Oh, Joe Johnson actually chose to distribute the ball. C.J. Watson came from the middle to catch the ball and immediately dribbled the ball forward, forcing Paul to fight and retreat. The speed was too fast. He went in, pulled the ball and shot, and raised his hand again. An unreasonable shot..."
Paul's pressing force can only force one to be lonely!
CJ Watson didn't play well at all. When he got the ball, he would either pull it out, or rush and pull it out again. It was all unreasonable superstar style of play.
Paul has no defensive skills with small movements, and has no room to display at all. He can only bet that C.J. Watson will just mess around on the outside: don't shoot inside.
Bang-dang——!
"pity!!
CJ Watson's opportunity definitely came out, but the basket couldn't tolerate him anymore and refused his goal!
This is normal for CJ Watson. If the ball hits again, he will not replace him!
This is a routine operation for crazy hands!
Alas, the Nets' offense was not over yet. The 2.11-meter Andre Blatche grabbed an offensive rebound.
In terms of height, the advantage lies with the Nets. The Lakers piled people into the penalty area. Blatche had no room to shoot. When he saw Joe Johnson coming in through an air cut, he immediately distributed the ball.
Catch the ball, shoot the ball, raise your hand and shoot a two-point fadeaway jumper..."
Faced with Joe Johnson who was attacking without the ball and shooting after receiving the ball, Artest even bothered to block Blatche who grabbed the offensive rebound. It was impossible, absolutely impossible, to block Joe Johnson's shot. Now, I can only bet: there are no bullets in your pistol.
Swish——!
“Yes!!
Finally, finally scored! !
Joe Johnson joined the Nets with the title of 'Eagle King', but he didn't score until the second quarter. This is very unscientific in itself.
Fortunately, although the score was late, it still came!
That's what All-Star Joe Johnson does on the court..."
You can play as a support player, or you can score by yourself!
He doesn't regard himself as a superstar at all. He is too low-key. He is so low-key in everything he does.
Of course, no matter how low-key he was, when the team needed him, Joe Johnson still stood up and acted in a high-profile manner.
The next game, Joe Johnson took over the Nets offense.
In addition to this first last shot, soon, in the offensive round, he used an emergency stop to test Artest's defense, and steadily hit the shot, scoring 4 points in a row, continuing the scoring. The Nets' offensive firepower.
And this is just the beginning!
In the subsequent attack, it was Joe Johnson who saw Artest letting go of his snake, but he was not Kobe!
Outside the three-point line, he takes a step, puts his feet back, raises his hand and shoots a three-point pull-up jumper...
Artest made the save, but it was too late. Fortunately, this was his choice in the first place, and he did not regard Joe Johnson's three-pointer as alive.
As a result, the three-pointer failed to go into the basket as Artest intended.
"Joe Johnson also hit a three-pointer, and C.J. Watson rounded it out, and it started raining three-pointers.
The Nets offense is crazy! !
Except for CJ Watson, who made 2 of 3 shots, and Blatche, who made 1 of 1 tip-in, Joe Johnson was no longer invisible. He made 3 of 3 shots and scored 7 points in a row. At the beginning of the second quarter, he beat the Lakers 15-7. The attack wave reversed the score difference..."
Less than 5 minutes into the second quarter, the score became 40 to 38. The Lakers became the lagging team, especially when the Nets offense started to gain momentum. Mike Brown could only call a timeout and take a break to interrupt. The pace of the Nets' offense.
Su Bei was subsequently replaced.
In the second quarter of the game, he was invisible throughout the game and was lonely.
But it's not his fault.
On offense, CJ Watson was anxious for Paul, and Paul had to come back. Su Bei couldn't even touch the ball.
Defensively, the Nets attacked first with C.J. Watson, and then with Joe Johnson, both of which avoided Subei's defensive area. What else could they do with him?
