Vol 2 Chapter 624: Are they strong? (Three / four!)


The Nets' first game after Christmas was the Raptors on the road. Not long ago, they just lost 30 points to their opponents.
The game is on the third day after Christmas.
But on the first day after Christmas, the Nets organized training.
"If you want to change, you don't have to shout slogans, and hard work requires practical action." This is what Tang Tian said to the team members at the Christmas lunch.
Now they are practicing.
The tactics are the same as at the beginning of the season. The players are familiar quickly.
This set of tactics is also conducive to changing the atmosphere of the team. Compared to blindly singles, this running tactic can make the players on the field have a sense of participation, and at every practical point, they have the opportunity to motivate the players.
Training step by step, Tang Tian was filled with a bowl of chicken soup at Christmas, the team is really energetic now.
Tang Tian and Frank sat on the sidelines.
"The first game after Christmas is not easy to play." Frank couldn't help but say at this time.
Tang Tian's chicken soup was very effective, but the team just experienced a 10-game losing streak and met a strong team like the Raptors. If they lose another 11-game losing streak, the morale of the team will still be the same.
"Raptors, are they strong?" Tang Tian looked at the court and asked suddenly.
"They ..." Frank wanted to say that he was strong, but think about it. Compared with the Cavaliers, Thunder, and even the Heat Hawks, the Raptors don't seem to be a strong team.
"If you check the information carefully, including DeRozan and Lowry, their shooting percentages are only in their early 40%, their performance is not stable, and they are not likely to fight tough battles. They are not strong teams, just An ordinary team. "Tang Tian said lightly.
When Tang Tian said so lightly, Frank stared at God, and then thought it seemed to be the same.
The Raptors' record is now fifth in the East, which is really not a team in the first half of the playoffs.
Seeing that Frank's expression changed, Tang Tian smiled in his heart and said nothing.
Although the Raptors are not strong, they must be stronger than the Nets at the moment, but they are really strong and not much stronger, so he said that half of the truth and the other half were to give Frank confidence.
If you lose mentally before you start, you have lost half of the game.
For three consecutive days of training, the team members were familiar with the original tactics, and their confidence increased a lot.
After training that day, they also boarded a plane to Toronto.
Tang Tian of Toronto has been here many times, and he has also experienced all the seasons.
But this time, it was a critical one for him and his team.
The impact of losing and winning on this team is very different.
"Trust yourself, trust me. No matter what happens during the game, we will insist on our training and we will win the game."
In the locker room before the game, Tang Tian made a final mobilization of his team members.
"Nets!"
"Come on!"
After shouting all the inner tension, the team members ran out of the locker room excitedly.
Before the opening ceremony, someone came to say hello to him: Chuck Hayes and Louis Williams. Both of these old parts are now playing for the Raptors.
Even after the opening ceremony, Tang Tian and Casey talked several times while shaking hands.
After so many years in the NBA, his network is already among the best.
The warm-up before the game ended, the two sides started to debut one after another, and the game soon began.
On the Raptors side, Lori and Terrence Rose are on the perimeter, DeRozan and Amir Johnson are on the front, and Valanciunas is the center.
On the Nets side, Deron and Joe Johnson are on the perimeter, Bojan Bogdanovic and Yi Jianlian are on the front line, and center Lopez is the center.
Tang Tian also crossed his hands at this time, and looked at the stadium with some excitement.
I haven't coached for a year and a half, and it has been such a challenging team, this feeling is really a little strange.
Yi Jianlian and Valanciunas jumped the ball. The former returned the ball to the half court and the visiting team got the opportunity to lead the attack.
After Deron advanced to the frontcourt, he gave the ball to Lopez's high post.
Teammates had continuous pick-and-rolls and counter-runs. Joe Johnson took the mid-range opportunity. Lopez passed the ball, but Johnson's shot was a little too big, and the rebound was taken by Valanciunas.
The Raptors advanced to the frontcourt with the ball. DeRozan borrowed a break-and-break from Valanciunas and hit the basket to cause Lopez's foul.
After making two free throws, he led the Raptors first.
Lopez continued the high-court response, but Joe Johnson did not catch the ball, and the ball was directly intercepted by DeRozan.
The Raptors fought back, Lowry squeezed Deron's layup and didn't score, but DeRozan followed up with a dunk to score the goal. Joe Johnson was only half-court at this time.
Lopez turned around and broke through a bit anxious, and his shot was directly covered by Valanciunas.
A sideline ball was issued again, and Joe Johnson's three-pointer shot came out of bounds, and he shook his head somewhat helplessly.
The Raptors attacked the frontcourt, DeRozan made a breakthrough stop, Lopez did not dare to reach out and watched the opponent put the ball into the basket.
6 to 0.
The Raptors gave the Nets a kick as soon as they opened.
The fans at the scene are also whistling ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Many people think that Tang Tian coached the Nets to reincarnate, but now it turns out that it is deceptive. After all, coaches are just coaches. They could win the basketball away The Nets have 30 points and returning home will only win more.
Tang Tian called the suspension directly.
"I don't need a team member who hasn't gone all out and cowering! If there is one, sit for me on the sideline for one night!" Tang Tian scolded with anger as soon as he got down.
The opening performance of Joe Johnson and Lopez was too disappointing to him, especially Joe Johnson, feeling no fighting spirit on the field, he really wished to kick his directly.
"Bogdan, Nicholas, you play." Tang Tiangang just scolded, turned around and shouted Bogdan Bogdanovic and Jokic.
This approach gave Joe Johnson and Lopez a hot pain on their faces.
Tang Tian ignored their response, then picked up the tactical board and set up the tactics.
After finishing the arrangement, he glanced at the five people who were going to play: "This is not an ordinary match, it is a battle against your backwaters. Give me your courage and determination to slam your opponent's ass, and take it down. This game! "
A few young players listened to each other, and Tang Tian only gave them chicken soup to say good things. This training was a bit embarrassing and a little bloody. The basketball should always be a junk sport.
"Guys, with 100% effort, we can do it." At this time Yi Jianlian came out with the stability of the old player. He played under Tang Tian and knew Tang Tian's character.
Deron also responded and held out his hand: "To win, the Nets."
The players nodded one after the other, then stacked the ball on top and shouted.
"Let’ !!! (Come on) "
