His gaze returned to the arena.
At this time, the match had entered the middle of the second quarter.
The score of the two teams was 41: Nets.
Under Wang Ting's bombardment, the Nets successfully tied the score and even overtook by six points.
However, the New York Knicks 'performance was not bad either. Relying on Bojin's successive victories, they had been tenaciously clinging to the score.
It could be said that this match had practically become a platform for Wang Ting and Bo Jin to compete against each other.
With 5 minutes and 42 seconds left in the second quarter, the two players 'stats were:
Wang Ting: 15 points, 2 rebounding, 4 assists, 3 steals, 1 mistake, 1 foul, 5 out of 8 shots, 2 out of 4 three-pointers, 3 out of 3 free throws.
Pozen: 14 points, 5 rebounding, 1 assist, 1 blocked shot, 3 turnovers, 3 fouls, 4 out of 13 shots, 1 out of 4 three-pointers, 5 out of 6 free throws.
At first glance, the data contributions of both sides were comparable.
However, the latter's mistakes and fouls were obviously more, and two of them were due to Wang Ting. In addition, his shooting percentage was not high, not even 30%.
To put it bluntly, Bojin's performance was below Wang Ting's. The King of New York had been outdone by a substitute.
"Beep-"
The whistle blew and the match was suspended.
This was an official pause of 100 seconds. It was mainly used to play TV commercials and would not be counted in the number of pauses for both parties.
Counting the time he played in the first quarter, Wang Ting had been fighting for 13 minutes.
13 minutes did not seem long, but during this time, the Nets 'offensive flag was almost entirely reliant on him. His physical consumption was extremely serious, his limbs were already sore, and his offensive and defensive efficiency began to slowly decline. He had to rest.
" Wang, go back to the bench and rest for a while." Atejin patted Wang Ting's back and encouraged him." You played very well in the first half. I'll give you more playing time in the second half."”
Wang Ting nodded and sat down, calculating in his heart.
If the pace of the game did not drag on, the first half would probably continue for ten minutes before it ended. Including the 15 minutes of halftime break, he should have enough time to recover.
Atkinson first arranged for a rotation, then said,""Guys, the rhythm of the game is now controlled by us, and we are also the leading side. Porzingis is likely to go off to rest. This is a great opportunity! You have to keep the momentum going and try to get us into the second half with at least a ten-point lead.”
According to the Nets 'head coach's judgment, the Knicks' reserve lineup was not strong and lacked strong scoring players.
On his side, he had Russell, who had been recuperating for a long time, as well as excellent players like Farid, Dudley, and Ding Weidi to assist. In theory, he could suppress his opponent.
"Understood!"
The Nets agreed in unison.
Lasalle was rubbing his fists and couldn't wait to go on stage and perform.
The Nets 'top player had only played five minutes or so, and his statistics were quite ugly. He had six points, one rebound, one assist, two mistakes, two fouls, and two of his seven shots.
More importantly, he was supposed to be the one to arm wrestle with Bojin, but now he had become a supporting character. He could only watch helplessly as a substitute took the limelight, and he felt very uncomfortable.
Russell decided that he had to show his full strength later to show the coach, teammates, and audience who was the real core of the Nets.
After a while, the time-out ended, and the two sides welcomed the last round of the first half.
The lineups for both sides were:
Knicks
Point Guard: Trey Burke
Shooting guard: Courtney Lee
Small Forward: Mario Hezzonia
Power Forward: Lance Thomas
Center: Noah Vonley
the Nets
Point Guard: Russell
Quartile: Ding Weidi
Jared Dudley
Big front: Farid
Center: Ed Davis
In comparison, the Nets 'lineup was indeed stronger.
Ding Weidi, Farid, and Dudley all had strength close to the starting level. Davis was also an excellent blue-collar substitute. Although Russell did not perform well, his strength was still there.
It could be said that this lineup was not inferior to the main lineup at all. It was suitable to fight against the opponent's full reserve lineup.
However, the situation in the following match was surprising.
In the first round, Trey Burke of the New York Knicks made a three-pointer.
In the third round, Hezonia scored a three-pointer.
In the fifth round, Trey Burke made another contribution and scored 2 1.
In the ninth round, Noah Vonlay scored a dunk, helping the New York Knicks score an 11:2.
On the other hand, the Nets.
First, Dudley and Ding Weidi hit three shots in a row, including a missed shot.
This was nothing, because they played strictly according to the strategy. It was just that the feel was not good.
Things were bad for Lasalle.
Seeing that his teammates weren't working hard and that he had been intercepted by another player, his mentality gradually lost balance and he fell into the rhythm of a solo match.
"Pass the ball! Pass the ball!"
Ed Davis finally managed to get into a good position, but he was ignored by his own point guard. He stomped his feet anxiously.
Russell, on the other hand, chose to make a hard layup against Courtney Lee's defense.
He was too rash!
Although the substitute point guard of the Knicks was only an unremarkable character, his defensive skills were very solid. Even Wang Ting, who had a layup ability of 95, was not confident that he could successfully play under this person's marking.
Then, Russell's layup failed, and the rebound was snatched by Noah Vonley.
Feng Lai then threw the ball to Trey Burke to help him complete a fast break layup.
At this point, the score was 54:49 for the New York Nets.
Not only did the Nets lose their advantage, but they were also overtaken by five points.
Atkinson was so angry that his face turned green.
