Chapter 948

The Celtics cheered constantly at home, and there were some sighs of regret mixed in.

After the start of the second quarter, the situation on the field was exactly as Qin Tao thought.

With the offbeat backcourt duo of Nate Robinson and Isiah Thomas on the court, that really caused the Nets a huge problem.

Their defense may not be a small problem, but if it is about impact and offense, it really does not allow those tall players.

And because the two of them were strong in offense and weak in defense, the other three became their companions.

Surely not.

Even if the Celtics are very strong in this wave of impact, but in the long run, once the Nets catch their breath, they will be in trouble, so that their state will decline and they will be recovered by the Nets!

time out.

Stevens called them down very decisively, especially giving advice to Nate and Thomas.

The other three felt balanced after hearing Stevens' preaching.

Because everyone is a substitute player, they all want to get more playing time and more opportunities to show themselves.

Now that the two of them are playing like a lone wolf, no one will be happy in their hearts.

As the core of the team, Qin Tao didn't say anything.

Because this occasion belongs to Stevens, another situation like this will also promote more healthy competition among the teams.

It's just that they need to adjust and appease the mentality of the players as soon as possible, so as to resolve the conflict into healthy competition.

And after these guys returned to the court, the stability of Nate and Thomas made the three more comfortable.

Because of players like Brandon Bass and Sullinger, the situation in the Celtics is really a bit delicate now.

You say they are suitable for the team, but in fact they don't have much playing time.

You say they can be traded, but the team feels that they have experience and ability and cannot let go.

So these two can be said to be the team's temporary tasteless ribs, and if you want to get more time, one is for performance, and the other is to maintain your own state.

As for the third person, that is, Zach LaVine, who was taken up to play small forward, he tried his best to show himself constantly.

Because since the end of the All-Star game, the team has not given him as much time as before because of his state.

If things go on like this for a long time, I am afraid that the next season will be lost to everyone.

Not to mention that he is protected by an old brother like Qin Tao, if he has no strength, he may not even be able to protect him with his breath.

Because letting him play is to give the opponent a chance. For the overall benefit of the team, Qin Tao may not be able to do it.

But it's cool now.

Zach LaVine frequently receives passes from his teammates, but in order to improve the error tolerance rate, he basically focuses on breakthroughs.

Don't say it.

His breakthrough like a blade really caused a lot of trouble for the Nets.

Then coupled with the hard work of Bass and Salinger, their lineup should not be underestimated.

and so.

When most of the second quarter was over, the Nets not only failed to recover some of the [-] points, but the Celtics and the substitutes continued to expand their lead.

Their point difference is as high as [-] points. It is really difficult to fight back in the second half when the halftime has not been played yet.

After the end of the second quarter, the Nets simply had the spirit to recover the point difference back to [-] points, try to adjust their mentality and state in the midfield, and try to fight the Celtics in the second half. Stalemate.

the other side.

Thomas and the others had a great time, Jae Crowder and Taylor Zeller, and even new players like Jonas Jerebko, were all ready to move, looking eagerly at Stevens.

Seeing this, Qin Tao couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Sometimes there are too many people who can fight, which is actually an annoyance.

But this is when Stevens will be tested.

If he can reconcile the playing time between players and think through the player lineup thoroughly, then the lineup must not be as good as other strong teams, but as long as it suits the team, that is the background.

The second half.

Qin Tao's group of starters only played a symbolic three to five minutes, and the third quarter was directly handed over to the substitutes.

Jae Crowder and Jonas Jerebko both played, Olynik and Tyler Zeller partnered inside, and the point guard actually sent Zach LaVine directly.

With such an arrangement, both the fans and the Nets know that Stevens has completely entered the training stage.

If a few more lineups can be combined, then there will be only advantages and no disadvantages for the Celtics.

of course.

Training in the playoffs is somewhat excessive.

But the league does not stipulate that starting players must play, let alone that teams are not allowed to train in the playoffs.

but.

Because it takes time for the lineup to run in, and the combination of players needs a chemical reaction. After their lineup came on the court, because of these problems, the Nets took the opportunity.

In the next third quarter, the Nets directly played a wave of 10:0, narrowing the point difference to only six points, so that the mood of the Nets players changed immediately.

But the Celtics are still very calm here, Stevens did not replace anyone, but continued to let them finish the first 2 minutes of the fourth quarter.

Back off the field.

Some of the players in this lineup just now were frowning, some were thinking, some were communicating with each other, and some were depressed.

Seeing their expressions and status, neither Stevens nor Qin Tao spoke.

Although it is clear to the bystanders, the players who have played before know what happened just now and how they need to adjust.

of course.

Timely coordination and guidance are still very meaningful, but because their lineup did have problems, they were not played in the next fourth quarter.

But it was still the same, Qin Tao and the others still didn't play.

But such an arrangement made the fans anxious.

It's like deliberately giving up a game to the Nets. It's a bit too arrogant to be true that my home court is so turbulent.

But with the three of Avery Bradley, Jae Crowder, and Jonas Jerebko suddenly like three ferocious beasts, the crazy mode on both ends of the offense and defense, the Nets No matter how confident this side is, it has become tactically chaotic at this time.

finally.

When the three of them blatantly played an iron-blooded defense, coupled with the offensive explosion of Zach LaVine and Isiah Thomas, it was such a lineup that was almost a pure substitute, which directly made the Nets unable to find the north. !

98: 90.

The Celtics didn't win many points, but anyone who watched the game couldn't help but gasp.

Especially the strong teams in the East.

Let them act boldly, and they dare not train casually in the playoffs.

nowadays.

Not only did the Celtics do this, but they also did it amazingly, which made them feel a lot of pressure!
