The break ended and the second half began.
The lineups sent out by both sides were exactly the same as when they started.
However, the Knicks players realized that the Nets 'current state seemed to be a little different from the first half.
Reality proved that it was indeed different.
Especially Lasalle.
This guy was playing without any rules, and his personal efficiency was pitifully low, giving away a great advantage.
But now, he was always playing the ball for his teammates and organizing the team's offense in an orderly manner.
When it was time for him to do it alone, Lasalle didn't hesitate. Every time he made a move, it was clean and efficient.
Even though his field goal percentage was still shocking, he missed all three shots and scored four points with only free throws. He also made a mistake during that time.
However, the efficiency of the entire team was not bad, and it could not be mentioned in the same breath as the first half.
On the contrary, the Knicks had a lot of problems. Under the strict defense of the Nets, the visiting team made two mistakes in a row, and their scoring efficiency was slowly decreasing.
Just like that, the two sides fought back and forth for four minutes, and the score reached 73:68.
The Nets were still lagging behind, but at this pace, it was only a matter of time before they overtook the Nets.
Faced with the aggressive Nets, the Knicks hurriedly called a time-out to quickly adjust the team's state.
After the pause, the situation reversed.
Porzingis stood up when the team needed him the most.
He sometimes shot three-pointers and sometimes attacked the inside line, and almost every time he succeeded, he was omnipotent.
The Nets, on the other hand, fell into a scoring drought. Other than Russell, who scored two points by breaking through, the others didn't get anything.
When there were six minutes left in the third quarter, the score between the two sides became the Knicks '80:70 Nets, and the difference between the points widened to 10 points again.
This was the difference between a team with or without star players.
A team with a star player, even if the tactics were not working well, could rely on the terrifying individual ability of the star player to force the situation open.
Compared to Portin's strength, Russell, the Nets 'boss, was a little useless.
Although he had tried his best, he could only watch the team fall into a disadvantage.
"Beep-"
At this moment, the whistle sounded and the Nets were forced to call a time-out.
"King, it's your turn." Atkinson looked at Wang Ting earnestly and then said to Russell," Dan Jiro, you'll be the shooting guard in a while. The ball will be handed over to Wang.”
Lasalle was stunned for a moment, then nodded solemnly.
After a while, the time-out ended and the third quarter began to enter the second half.
"Oh, the king is on!" Van Gundy saw Wang Ting walk out of the substitutes 'bench and unconsciously raised his voice a little." I heard a burst of cheers at the scene. It seems that the fans can't wait for Wang Ting to play.”
Michael Breen tilted his head and glanced at the Nets.""The Nets have replaced the two inside players. Carroll and Russell continue to play. Is Atkinson trying to play a dual-point guard lineup?”
The fans frowned at the Nets manager's arrangement.
"Double point guards? The Nets should be more defensive now. Playing two point guards would further reduce their defensive efficiency.”
"Russell is physically strong, and there shouldn't be any problem with him being a point guard. However, his defensive efficiency is definitely not as good as Crabbe's. The Nets 'flank defense is worrying.”
"Russell and Wang are both players who need the ball. Has Atkinson never considered the issue of a conflict of possession?”
"I heard that Lasalle has a problem with King. The chemistry between the two is probably terrible. Staggering them is the right choice.”
Not to mention the fans, even Sister Stone, who did not understand football, felt that there seemed to be a problem with this arrangement.
"I feel that it will be difficult for Wang and Lasalle to reach an effective cooperation. Is this really appropriate?”
Taylor didn't know much about basketball, so he couldn't say why. He shook his head and said,""The Nets coach must have his own ideas. We just need to see how these two play.”
On the Knicks 'side, Fizdale had already expected Wang Ting to play, so he immediately brought out a lineup that was good at defense.
Point Guard: Moody
Point guard: Courtney Lee
Little Hadavy
[Omaki: Haranozu]
Center: Noah Vonley.
This lineup was specifically tailored to deal with Wang Ting. As long as Wang Ting blindly chose to play solo, the Knicks were confident that he would repeatedly hit the wall.
"The match continues." Van Gundy explained," Wang pushed forward with the ball. He met the prepared Moody.”
In fact, Moody wasn't the only defender. Courtney Lee and Hardaway Jr. were ready to switch defenses. Pojin and Feng Lai were also eyeing the inside line.
The Knicks 'five-man formation looked loose, but it formed a defensive system that could switch defense indefinitely, making it difficult for Wang Ting to find a comfortable shot, whether it was on the outside or inside.
"Don't even think about scoring goals in the second half! Your attack has been blocked by us!”Moidier spat.
Wang Ting was silent as he asked his teammate Farid to come over and sit on the pick-and-roll.
Farid's pick-and-roll was very successful. He squeezed out a lot of empty spaces and allowed Wang Ting to enter the penalty area with the ball.
"Block him!"
Hadavy Jr. decisively abandoned Carlo, who was facing him, and blocked in front of Wang Ting.
The other Knicks players also surrounded them and blocked the opponent's offensive route from all angles.
Just when everyone thought that the Asian kid had been completely locked in, suddenly, Wang Ting, who was bravely advancing, reached out and threw the ball out from the crowd. He still maintained his forward charging posture, and even his eyes were fixed on the basket.
No-look-pass! (Don't look at people passing the ball)
"Pa!"
The basketball landed in Russell's hands quickly and accurately.
Then, Lasalle raised his blade.
"Swoosh!"
Three points into the net!
