Chapter 386 [This power is iron!This power is steel! 】

乔丹把前两轮丢掉的人气都补了回来，连续两场砍下三双，全场打了32分钟，12投5中，三分球2中1，罚球4中4, 得到15分11篮板12助攻。

Five Wizards scored in double figures, Hamilton 24 points and 5 assists, Stoudamire 30 points and 6 rebounds.

At the press conference, Byron Scott attributed the loss to the team's poor overall defense, and was not stupid enough to publicly tear B in the face of the media and Kidd.

In this game, Kidd played the pick-and-roll according to his requirements, five people scored in double figures, and the ball was running. However, the offensive ability of the Nets players was not top-level, and the individual scoring lacked continuity.

Scott thought the Nets would win as long as they followed the Wizards' more blooming route, like the regular season.

Now he has found that the Wizards are different from the regular season. They are more active in running, cooperate more tacitly, and have two stars who can provide stable firepower.Both sides fight to attack, the Wizards beat the Nets.

Although Stoudamire is a rookie, his offensive ability is already better than Martin.During the season, many fans were dissatisfied with him being selected for the All-Star Game, and now they have accepted it, and more and more people like him.

这场过后，小斯季后赛场均打36.8分钟，砍下20.6分8.1篮板1.4助攻1.2抢断1.6盖帽，投篮命中率47.5%。

Hamilton's data also rose, averaging 37.3 minutes per game, scoring 20.4 points, 3.7 rebounds, 4 assists and 0.8 steals, shooting 44.8% from the field, 35% from three-point range, and 90.6% from the free throw line.

In other positions, the two sides are similar. The only advantage of the Nets offensive end is Kidd. He only has better data than David Wesley, and his shooting percentage is slightly worse.

Wesley's shooting percentage was steady in the playoffs, averaging 5.7 three-pointers on 2.3 attempts per game, or 41.2 percent from the field.He averaged 24 points in 12.8 minutes per game, almost all on catch-and-shoot.He still maintains a magical statistic, making 16 of 16 free throws in the playoffs, making 100% of his free throws in the playoffs.

The performance of the Wizards has attracted the attention of the media around the world, and more people hope that the Wizards will enter the finals.If the Wizards finally win the championship, Jordan will retire perfectly, leaving a permanent legend in the NBA.

Yang Rui also has a large number of fans. Many people think that he is already a legend. The achievements he has achieved at this age are unbelievable.

"Jerry Young is a once-in-a-century talent in the NBA. If this goes on, he is likely to achieve unparalleled achievements in the field of coaching, surpassing Cardinal Auerbach. The key to winning the Celtics for eight consecutive championships is the whole team. The star lineup, in a league that lacks competition, crushes seven other teams. Before Jerry Young went to the Raptors and the Wizards, these were only two bad teams."

"In the Raptors, Jerry Young failed to establish a dynasty. I don't know if he can lead the Wizards to do this. The first year of the five-year contract is only the first year of the championship. The Wizards must be very strong in the future. It's a pity that Jordan can only Be the audience."

"Am I the only one who thinks the Nets lineup is much stronger than the Wizards? The two teams exchange coaches, and the Nets may sweep the Wizards."

Scott is afraid to read the news now. He also won the Best Coach Award last season, but fans feel that he can't compare with Yang Rui at all.Basketball experts commented on the tactics of the two teams and even disparaged Scott.

There's no harm without comparison, the timing of Scott's call for a timeout, and the mix of lineups isn't that great.In the first two games, the Wizards played an offensive high C, both after the Nets called a timeout, which is really intriguing.

During the break, Yang Rui arranged for the players to practice shooting and warned the players to work hard, not to slack off for a moment in the game, and the next game is very critical.

Win another home game, the Wizards will get match point, the Nets need to win three games in a row to reverse the promotion, the difficulty can be imagined.

But if the Wizards lose, the Nets will tie the total score to 2 to 2, the situation will be very unfavorable for the Wizards, the crucial fifth game will be played at the Nets home, they will be more difficult to win.

In the fourth game, winning is heaven, and losing is hell.

After analyzing the stakes, the players practiced seriously, and Jordan also practiced the three-pointer in the middle, hoping to give the team more help on the offensive end.

On the evening of May 5, the fourth battle started.

The Nets couldn’t afford to lose even more. After Scott and the assistant coaches held a meeting to discuss, they let Curry return to the bench, played small ball tactics in the opening game, and used Martin and Rodgers to partner inside, and finally found the right way.

It was difficult for Jordan to attack Rodgers efficiently with the ball, and the only function on the field was to pull the ball to support the pass.

Martin played against Boozer, and he was fast when changing pick-and-rolls and chasing inside lines. With a weight of 106 kg, Boozer would not be overwhelmed by his explosive low-position single defense.

On the offensive end, Rodgers' range reached beyond the three-point line, and the Nets' formation opened wider.Martin made quick empty cuts after the pick-and-roll, while Boozer's defense was much more difficult.

After playing for 2 minutes, Yang Rui immediately replaced Boozer with Stoudemire, stabilizing the situation.

Although both sides play small ball tactics, the Wizards have no advantage in mobility and cannot play sharp fast breaks, but slowly grind their positions with the Nets, at least the score will not fall behind.

Once the defense is strengthened, the game scene becomes less beautiful.Yang Rui is a little regretful. From the perspective of game viewing, he still enjoyed playing in the Raptors, and his offense was rarely blocked by opponents.

Last year, he only needed to arrange for the three-point shooter to pull away and let O'Neal Jr. and Carter pick up the ball to kill the Nets.O'Neal Jr. has an advantage in low post play.Kittles couldn't prevent Carter either, and it was also a tragedy to face Halprin and Reed.

But now that Yang Rui is gone, the Raptors' inside stars are also gone, and the outside ball is not enough, and the Raptors have become a tragedy.

The first quarter ended in a draw.

In the second quarter, the two teams were also uncharacteristically and continued to fight on defense.In key games, fast break is prone to mistakes. They want to fight for offensive efficiency on the premise of solid defense, and they dare not act rashly.

The Wizards lost the first game because they suffered from too many mistakes. The Wizards win because there are more people who can support them, but Jordan, Alston, and Hamilton in the fast break did not have as high a pass success rate as Kidd.Unless the player's mobility is clearly dominant, Yang Rui will not arrange to run and shoot.

The key player in the Wizards' defense is Gerald Wallace. He does a good job in single defense and pick-and-roll defense; Maggette, Bell, and Wesley on the outside did not let their opponents ask for anything, and center Boozer resisted Library. inside.

The Nets also defended the restricted area, tried to interfere with mid-to-long-range shots, and tried to use up 24 seconds of each possession.

The players took turns tossing from the outside, and they felt bad. The Wizards' Maggette, Wallace, Wesley, and the Nets' Rodgers, Harris, and Aaron Williams all scored no points in this quarter.They used their actions to compose a moving anthem for the fans.

This power is iron!This power is steel!Harder than iron and stronger than steel...

The Wizards had only 12 points in a single quarter, and the Nets had only 17 points.

Yang Rui is not impatient or impatient. His plan is to kill the opponent's physical strength first, and the last quarter is the moment for the track and field team to show their power. They often rely on running marathons to win the regular season.

However, the Nets also have a lot of rotation players, and Kidd, Martin, Jackson and others can also run marathons. No. 2 Kittles has average physical strength due to several injuries, and Lucios Harris is on the bench. The two have similar styles and are both good at guarding off the ball.

In the second half, the two sides were evenly matched, and the score was deadlocked to the end.

At 45.2 seconds in the distal quarter, Jordan passed Rodgers and made a layup. Martin retreated in time to make up the defense and successfully interfered.

The ball bounced out of the box, Kidd grabbed the backcourt rebound, and suddenly passed a long pass to Rogers to fight back. The latter did not wait for his teammates to catch the ball, took two steps to face Hamilton, and hit a three-pointer with a 70-degree dry pull on the left side of his height advantage. , to make the score one point ahead.

At 85 to 86, Yang Rui requested a long timeout, with only 41 seconds left.
