Jeremy Lin coached by top coaches

Chapter 652 He Can't Go Down Yet
As long as you can survive the first half, you have a chance!In the discussion, the teaching assistant and Chen's point of view are consistent.After the three players of Horford, Hayward and Irving have gone down, the Knicks' opportunity has come!
But there is also a problem here, that is, whether the team can maintain a better state in the early stage.Standing on the sidelines and watching his players play, Chen was also thinking about how to find some good tactics in the following games so that the Celtics would worry about the result of the game.

Hardaway Jr. immediately hit a 2-pointer next to Noah! 13:13!

31:26!In the second quarter, the Celtics replaced Hayward with Brown, and O'Quinn, the Knicks, replaced Kanter.

"O'Quinn's main task is to try his best to grab rebounds and put down the opponent's basket attack! Noah has to do more here. Other players still shoot from the outside, don't rush to the basket, don't rush to the basket !Whoever does it a few times, I will let him go immediately.”

The atmosphere of the fans at the scene during this interval was very good.This is the game they hoped for.Some Knicks fans think it would be perfect for the Knicks to make a lore in the end~ while the Celtics fans think that in the third quarter, the Celtics should put the opponent into garbage time!
After playing, Ramon took the ball to the frontcourt. Noah immediately took the basketball and then turned around and threw the basketball into the net! 31:28!

After Horford served to Irving, he quickly crossed the half court.Irving didn't think about passing the ball, and immediately hit a three-pointer with a step-back jumper in the matchup with Ntilikina! 34:28!

Did Hardaway Jr. layup after receiving the basketball?After receiving Irving's pass in the frontcourt, Morris immediately dunked with both hands to score! 36:28!

60:48!Finally made it through the first half!
"There's nothing we can do about the 12-point difference. In the third quarter, Hardaway II will come up again. No, our chances are running out," Chen said after stopping Rogge.Because just now Rogge has expressed his intention to let Baker go up.

However, Baker, a player, has good personal ability when playing against ordinary teams.However, facing such an opponent, he was not so effective in some rounds.

"Coach, we still have the fourth quarter to play. Will you overdraw Little Hardaway's stamina?"

"If the point difference is about 5 points, I would like to let Baker and Dotson try. But now the opponent has pushed us to the edge of the cliff. As long as they work hard in this quarter, we will basically end this quarter early."

When Chen said this, there were no objections around him.Everyone also paused Chen's statement.In fact, Rogge meant to put Baker and the others on it to try.But who can guarantee that the opponent's main force will end?
"In the third quarter, the Celtics' inside line must be weaker. Even if Horford is not replaced, you should not be too difficult to face him at the basket. Porzingis, you, pull Shoot for me! And Beasley, let me tell you when you can shoot. Once the opponent has a loophole after you go up, shoot for me if you think it’s okay.”

Chen came to the locker room early and talked to the players.

"Are we still on the outside?" Jack asked, feeling that this quarter would send him up.

"Like you, Beasley quickly rushed to the basket to score a breakthrough when the offense and defense were in transition! But start playing normally, unless you rely on defense or the opponent's defense is loose, don't try it lightly, Little Hardaway. You organize to receive In the next game, you can shoot less."

Chen looked at Hardaway II for a while and said to him.Indeed, if he continues to attack in the third quarter, his physical fitness will drop quickly.

Back in the third quarter, the Celtics lineup is Baynes, Morris, Hayward, Terry, Sean!Hayward really put it in the third quarter!
Such a lineup still has a certain power in defense at the basket!Hayward's playing is mainly to allow him to keep the score difference!Irving and Horford came up in the fourth quarter.

Stevens also did quite a bit of work against the Knicks before the game.He knew that the current coach of the team was Chen Yinan!This guy led the Nets last season and beat them a lot!

If the main force is to be sent up now to put the opponent into garbage time, it is not that Stevens has not considered it.But if the opponent's style of play in the first half allows Owen and the others to play, the uncontrollable degree of the subsequent games will increase a lot!
There is no need to rush to play with them in the current state of your own team.Slowly consume their energy!In the end, if you fight them seriously, there is basically no problem.

The Boston Celtics have good advantages in players, cooperation, and physical confrontation!
Sean passed the ball to Hayward immediately after halftime.The latter immediately hit a three-pointer under Beasley's defense! 63:48!

"Beasley, if you keep defending like this, I'll replace you directly! Little Hardaway, go and help defend." The Celtics immediately ran over to defend after finishing the attack.Chen took a few steps and yelled at Beasley!
Hayward's stability is very good.It will be even easier to meet Beasley, who is not so strong in defense.After Jack took the basketball, the three-point jumper in front of Terry was successfully interfered by the opponent!Kanter directly got the rebound and passed to Beasley.Hardaway Jr. took the basketball and immediately returned a three-pointer! 63:51!

It can be seen that Hardaway II's shot did not use much strength. He brought his body up and then threw the ball vigorously.At this time, Little Hardaway knew that his physical fitness might be a problem, so he was saving his physical strength as much as possible.

After Morris got the basketball, he made a fake move in front of Porzingis and jumped up to catch it, but he was interfered by Porzingis!When Kanter was stuck by Baynes, Boshen went directly to get the rebound and then dribbled twice before passing the ball to Jack.

At this time, the Celtics players were all in the frontcourt, and Jack hit a long-range three-pointer immediately after halftime! 63:54!

The camera goes to Stevens.He watched the game with his hands in his pockets.There was no expression on his face.And Chen has already returned to the bench to discuss with the teaching assistants.

I believe that Jack, Kanter and Porzingis of his own team will not let him down in this quarter.But I hope that during this period of time, we can see what method can be figured out in the last session to gradually narrow the gap between the two sides, then the suspense will gradually increase.

Terry goes upfield and passes the ball to Morris.Hayward immediately took over the basketball and went out of the basket with 2 points under the defense of Beasley and Hardaway Jr.!Porzingis immediately rushed over to get the rebound and made a long pass to Beasley!

Beasley was going for a dunk!But he stopped immediately when he ran across the three-point line.Take a step back after dribbling and look back to see Hayward and Sean running this way, immediately take off and hit the basket with a three-pointer! 63:57!

The point difference has narrowed to 6 points!Baynes accidentally received a pass from Hayward and immediately dunked! 65:57!

After Hardaway Jr.'s three-pointer failed, Porzingis immediately got the basketball and broke through, causing Morris to foul and then made the ball!Successfully scored 2+1 after making a free throw! 65:60!

After Terry's 2 points, Jack got the rebound and dribbled the ball to the frontcourt and immediately scored 2 points for a layup! 65:62!Stevens called for a timeout at this point.

"Hayward can attract the opponent's defense. Then create opportunities for his teammates. Pay more attention to the defense. When attacking, one or two players should lean slightly towards the midfield. This way When the opponent is about to switch from defense to offense, we can switch over immediately. Morris should not be too hard on Porzingis. Horford, you go up later, watch Kanter, and Porzingis When attacking, go to help defend.”
