103 to 96, the Nets finally reversed the Raptors to win the game.
Deron scored a team-high 27 points and 7 assists. Jokic scored 17 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists. Yi Jianlian and Butler also each scored 16 points. On the substitute side, Gordon scored 18 points and 3 assists. McGrady had 14 points. 3 plates.
Booker played 9 minutes and made 0 of 5 shots, eating his duck eggs for the first time in his career.
After the game, Tang Tian and Frank sat down and had a good chat about Booker.
Booker's talent is unquestionable. His outstanding offensive performance early in the season will make people, including Tang Tian, have a second Thompson feeling.
The problem now is Booker's mentality. Although the team has a psychological assistant, it is not a matter of a while to adjust it.
Frank's suggestion is to let Booker play as a substitute and learn more from the field, and he also cited the examples of Kobe and Arenas. Both great scorers have sat on the bench early in their careers.
Especially Arenas, everyone knows that the Warriors did not reuse him, but no one will analyze what he has learned on the bench, in addition to his skills and patience.
Tang Tian accepted Frank's suggestion, but he still hoped to see it again.
Booker's mentality affected the performance. Withdrawing the starter at once, I don't know if his confidence would collapse even more.
After the Nets ended the game with the Raptors, they have successively played against the Spurs, the Suns, the Heat, the Bulls and the Mavericks.
Playing Spurs, Booker continued to slump, only 3 points and 1 assist on 1 of 3 shots.
Against the Suns, Booker showed a warmer performance, scoring 15 points and 3 assists on 6 of 11 shots.
The War Heat, Booker was lost again, only 4 points and 2 assists on 1 of 6 shots.
Challenging the Bulls, Booker's performance was satisfactory, 8 of 3 shots, 8 points, but also made up to 3 turnovers.
In the face of the Mavericks, Booker's performance did not pick up and continued, 0 points from 3 shots and 2 points from free throws.
After such a game, the Nets' record was only 2 wins and 3 losses. Tang Tian also realized that Booker's psychological problems were greater than he thought.
After finishing the game with the Mavericks, he took Booker to his office alone.
"German, I discussed with the coaching staff and will temporarily remove you from the starter. Don't be discouraged, I still trust you."
Booker was optimistic and picked by Tang Tian, and was cultivated as a cornerstone. Tang Tian naturally did not want him to fall so badly.
If the last play is not as good as the previous life, then this will be Tang Tian's first teaching material that failed.
But to his surprise, Booker was relieved, as if all the pressure had been relieved.
"To stay hard and competitive, you need to compete with Taylor and Boyang for playing time." Tang Tian thought he was discouraged and reminded.
"I will, coach." Booker nodded, and a little self-confidence appeared in his eyes.
Tang Tian didn't say much.
Gordon's condition is better than he expected. Except for his slower shooting speed than Booker, all other aspects are winning. This is not necessarily a bad thing for the Nets who want to win the championship.
Once settled, it was settled. Tang Tian announced the news while training the next day.
Although Gordon didn't say anything, he could still see excitement in his eyes.
Although hard-working, who doesn't want to start?
What surprised Tang Tian was that Booker was very positive in training and did not show frustration because he was removed from the starting lineup. Instead, he was very positive.
After a two-day break, the Nets faced the Warriors at home, and this was the first time the two sides played against each other.
The Nets have been in a twist lately, and now have a 16-7 record, ranking third in the East after the Cavaliers and Raptors.
And the Warriors have shown unprecedented strength this season. After a 40-point victory over the Pelicans in the first game, they have been in a row and Curry played comparable to Michael Jordan.
So far, they have won 24 straight games and went straight to the 33-game winning streak.
It is definitely a challenge to face such an opponent, not to mention the Nets are not at their best yet.
The only good news is that this is a back-to-back game for the Warriors, and the Nets will have some physical strength.
After arriving in Brooklyn, Cole did not forget his habits, and gave his old boss Tang Tian a milk.
"Don is the greatest coach I have ever met, Jokic is one of the most talented inside players I have ever met, Deron is also a Hall of Fame point guard, and we are likely to lose here."
Cole's milk has reached its peak this season. He always likes to his opponent before the game, but he can always lead the team to win the final victory.
Fans have become accustomed to this behavior.
However, wrapped in a 24-game winning streak, so to speak, in the eyes of Brooklyn fans, there is a little bit of confusion.
This is one of the reasons why the Warriors recruit many fans to hate.
Because the opponent was a warrior, and because he felt provoked, although it was only a regular season game, the New York fans gathered early in the Barclays Center Arena, ready to cheer for the home team.
"This is destined not to be an easy game. We are the dogs. Although we are fighting at home, we are challenging Xu Hui to lose, but this is our home. We may stand and lose, but we will never lie. Yes! "
"Nets!"
"victory!"
In the locker room before the game, Tang Tian also cheered on his team members in his own way.
The Warriors' Curry's form this season is too bad. The Nets are not at their best right now. It is really difficult to win.
But Tang Tian didn't concede two words in his dictionary, and he didn't allow his team members either.
At the opening ceremony, the cheers were deafening, and the New York fans were enthusiastic.
In the cheers of the fans, the starting players of both sides were introduced one after another.
On the Warriors side, Curry and Thompson are on the perimeter, Barnes and Draymond Green are on the front, and Bogut is the center.
The lineup is not much different from last season ~ EbookFREE.me ~ but Curry is not the same as before.
On the Nets side, the combination of Deron and Gordon on the perimeter, Butler and Yi Jianlian on the front line, and center Jokic.
When the starting lineup came out, there was a little turmoil on the scene, because this was the first time Gordon started.
I do n’t know if this adjustment is a big move by Tang Tianji.
But the turmoil soon disappeared, Booker's performance is really bad now, playing better Gordon, but also gives the Nets a greater chance of winning.
Yi Jianlian and Bogut jumped the ball. The two had been teammates in the Bucks. At this time, they played again as teammates.
Bogut snatched the take-off time, returned the ball to the Warriors halftime, and the visiting team led the attack.
Curry took the ball forward and the Nets backed off.
But at this moment, two meters away from the three-point line, seeing Delong turning back to remind the team members behind him, he pulled up and threw it. 8)
