Bishop of the Abyss

Chapter 26 26. The big bird spreads its wings!

Returning from the timeout, Frank opted to move Kostic off the court and then placed Eric Williams at power forward.

Eric Williams is 220 meters tall and weighs [-] pounds. Although his lateral speed is also not outstanding, if compared with Kostic, Williams is obviously more flexible.

However, the flaw in Frank's choice to take Eric Williams is also obvious, that is, Williams has been a standard low-energy player throughout his career.

This substitution will definitely make the Nets struggle more on the offensive end.

Even if Eric Williams has a certain level of shooting ability, he can even take some open shots from beyond the three-point line.

But the point is that Williams, as a standard inside player, has kept his career shooting percentage below 40.00% all year round.

This low offensive efficiency makes Eric Williams completely distrusted.

After the substitution, although Williams was able to keep up with Garnett in footsteps, he was only [-] meters tall and still at a disadvantage when facing Garnett.

In addition, Garnett's touch in this game is very hot, so the Nets are still passive in the situation.

Throughout the first quarter, the Timberwolves' focus on the defensive end was very clear, that is, to resolutely pinch Carter and Jefferson, and then let others participate in the offense.

Especially after Eric Williams was replaced, this allowed the Timberwolves to attack unscrupulously.

After all, Eric Williams' offensive efficiency is even more outrageous than Kidd. As long as Williams can play stably on the court, then the Nets will be a standard four-on-six pattern!

As Garnett used various methods such as mid-range shots, air cuts, and backs to score on the court, the Nets have been suppressed by the Timberwolves.

The score on the court was also gradually widened by the Timberwolves. By the end of the first quarter, the Timberwolves had already held an 8-point lead.

"Don't be nervous, Boky, you just need to play normally on the court. I believe that with your ability, you can make a name for yourself in the NBA."

"And the Nets' second team is poor, and the player you're facing will most likely be Rodney."

"Let go and play, play your title of "European Big Bird" on the court, and I will celebrate your smooth debut in advance." After the first quarter, Luke patted Nehbar on the shoulder. The whole person is full of trust in it.

"Don't worry coach, I have never let you down before, and I believe I won't in the future!" Patting his chest to cheer himself up, Nehbar walked towards the field expectantly.

Back in the second quarter, the two sides replaced the second team to start the contest.

The Nets' rotation lineup this season is relatively average, and the highest scoring average off the bench is Rodney Buford's 7.1 points.

And then Buford will become the face-to-face player of Nehbar's NBA debut.

And the reason why Luke didn't send Nehbar to play in the second half of the first quarter was to let him perform well in the second quarter and strive to make an unforgettable personal debut.

As soon as the second quarter came up, the Nets, who were the first to attack, still handed over more of the ball to Kidd for processing.

Due to the poor rotation depth of the Nets, Frank will stagger the playing time of the Big Three in the first quarter to ensure that there are core players leading the team at any stage.

After the Nets ran, Best missed a mid-range shot, and Eddie Griffin, who protected the backboard, immediately handed the ball to Nehbar for processing.

This point was specifically explained by Luke before, because Nehbar has excellent passing vision, which can just make up for Hudson's organizational defects.

From this perspective, Nehbar is undoubtedly more suitable as a master than Hudson, and Hudson can also completely liberate himself and put all the focus on the offensive end.

Speaking of which, Nehbar and Doncic's style of play are relatively similar, and the two are almost the same in height and weight.

The most important thing is that both of them are basketball players born in Slovenia. If it wasn't for the huge difference in timelines, Luke would have thought that the two were born in the same school.

Holding the ball through the half, Nehbar was holding the ball while observing the running positions of his teammates on the field.

Since Nehbar had just signed with the team, the running-in with his teammates was basically zero, so all the choices Nehbar made next could be called improvisation, and there was no tacit understanding with his teammates at all.

Using Eddie Griffin's pick-and-roll, Nehbar made a shot fake from one step inside the three-point line. Germany's defensive rhythm.

Seeing the opportunity, Nehbar directly increased his speed with all his strength, sticking to Buford's body and going straight to the inside line.

Buford's loss of position made the Nets players have to make up for the position immediately, and when Nehbar saw Kostic defending himself, Nehbar, who observed Griffin's position, directly threw the ball high into the sky One toss.

As for the latter, he jumped up to catch the pass with his explosive physical talent, and completed an alley-oop dunk across Scalabrine! !
Scalabrine, who was [-] meters tall, was completely crushed by Eddie Griffin. Scalabrine, who was unable to take off, could only serve as the background board very aggrievedly, and was deducted by Griffin. A stunning dunk.

After landing, Griffin raised his head excitedly to the audience and shouted, and then slapped his teammate Nehbar with a smile on his face when he retreated, because Nehbar passed the ball very beautifully.

At the moment when the Nets' defense showed flaws, Nehbar firmly seized the opportunity and staged an aerial connection with Griffin. This ability to read the game is really shocking.

In the next period of time, the Nets, who were already at a disadvantage in the second team, gradually began to run out.

This also forced Frank to bring Jefferson to the court again after just over three minutes into the second quarter, playing with Kidd at the same time to lead the team.

Otherwise, once the Timberwolves continue to open the score, according to the situation of this game, it will be difficult for the Nets to recover the score.

Throughout the second quarter, Nehbar was very agile on the court. Whether it was the offensive selection after the pick-and-roll with his teammates, or the wide-ranging transfer of the ball, Nehbar fully demonstrated the excellent basic skills of European players.

And whether it's a shot from inside or outside, or a fast break, Nehbar's comprehensiveness also makes the fans shine.

Obviously Nehbar's physical fitness is very average, but when he starts to dominate the game on the court, Nehbar's overall view is really amazing.

Even if there were two rounds of mistakes in cooperation with his teammates, Nehbar had already conquered the Minnesota fans very well in one game.

Among other things, at least signing Nehbar, this is simply adding a combat power to the Timberwolves for nothing, and it is also the top combat power that surprised everyone in the first show.

At the end of the final half of the game, with Nehbar's excellent leadership ability in the second quarter, the Timberwolves ended the contest with a 13-point lead over the Nets even though the Madman only played 9 minutes in the first half.

Throughout the second quarter, Luke allowed Nehbar to play a full 12 minutes, and Nehbar, who gained a lot of possession and trust, also lived up to expectations.

在第二节单节6投4中，其中三分线外4中2，个人贡献出10分3篮板以及4次助攻，只用一节时间就打出了自己“欧洲大鸟”的威望！！
