The Godfather of Basketball

In the Cavaliers' offense, James suddenly attacked George, and Butler assisted in the defense and directly made an offensive foul by James.

George got up and pulled Butler up, but Butler yelled excitedly after getting up.

George was blocked by Love in defense, James broke through and scored a layup, Butler saw the past and communicated with him.

In the offense, Yi Jianlian and George played together, and the latter made a three-pointer from the outside.

George was a different person in the first and second half, and he could feel that with the help of his teammates, he was truly integrated into the team.

Although there will still be some mistakes that shouldn't be made on the court due to the degree of tacit understanding, but it can be felt that he is putting in, rather than playing with reservations like before.

Seeing the changes in George's field, Tang Tian's mood improved, but he couldn't help muttering: Is this guy itchy? If I had known earlier, I would have scolded him earlier, but it has been delayed until now.

George's recovery allowed the Nets to perform strongly on the court, and they evened the point difference in the third quarter.

However, Delong just left Tang Tian in good condition, coupled with James' bravery, the two teams played until the last moment.

This time George played a positive role at the critical moment. He defended against James' strong attack, and then misplaced and intercepted Love's back attack.

At the critical moment, Tang Tian chose to hand the ball to Owen, and Owen singled out Deron in the frontcourt.

Continuous swaying footsteps, crotch and turning while walking, Irving's style of play is called flashy by many people, but he has full control over the ball, which looks really flamboyant.

When Irving was in the Cavaliers, Tang Tian needed to focus on his singles. Now that Irving is his player, it's the Cavaliers' turn to have a headache.

Deron couldn't keep up with the pace, and the block shot he made at the last moment did not completely block Owen.

Irving's step-back jump shot after dribbling.

"Shua!"

The ball fell into the net bag at the buzzer.

After a fierce battle, Irving finally ended the game with a lore.

Irving's key ball ability has long been proven, and this time he also lived up to expectations.

The scene is boiling.

The players of the Nets rushed to Irving and yelled, one by one getting more excited.

George is also integrated into it. For the first time after coming to the Nets, he is also extremely excited for the team's victory.

This victory is very important to the Nets, even more meaningful than playing the Warriors or the Rockets, or even the Celtics, because the Cavaliers were recognized as the dominant side in the deal, but in the end it was the Nets who won the game. And it was Owen's lore.

Owen is also very excited. His summer hard training is to prove himself again. This lore made him beat his old club with his hands, and he was so happy.

At the press conference after the game, a reporter asked what was the reason for George's change in the first and second half.

"I realize I'm a Nets guy." George's answer is intriguing.

The reporters below looked at each other in blank dismay, and some who reacted quickly began to mourn for the Lakers.

The Lakers refused to pay a big chip to get George in the summer, and planned to sign George naked next summer. The team's new general manager "Magic" Johnson also received a huge fine from the league for commenting on George.

But George's current statement makes all this less certain, and the 500,000 fine may be in vain.

George's state is not a flash in the pan. Driven by Butler and Yi Jianlian, he has gradually integrated into the team.

When facing questions from outside reporters, although he has been avoiding the mystery of where he will go next season, he also talks more about the Nets and teammates.

"We're made for championships."

"Jimmy is the best teammate and I would love to play with him my entire career."

"We're getting better and we're confident we can beat the Warriors."

...

While words like these gave New York fans reassurance, they also pierced the hearts of Lakers fans like needles.

Accompanied by these changes in mentality is his performance on the court.

In eight games in October, the Nets had a record of 5 wins and 3 losses.

But entering November, since the game against the Cavaliers, the Nets' record in the past 10 games is 8 wins and 2 losses.

With a record of 13 wins and 5 losses, they rushed from the original fourth in the Eastern Conference to the second in the Eastern Conference, and they were only one game away from the first Cavaliers.

George's core data has not changed much, from the original 17.7 points and 4.6 rebounds to 18.6 points and 5.3 rebounds, but other data, the shooting percentage has increased from the original 43% to 48%, and the three-point shooting percentage has also exceeded 40%. Comes to 40.3%.

The biggest change is his steal data, which has increased from 0.6 times per game to 1.5 times per game, which is infinitely close to his career average per game.

This shows that he has adjusted his state to the best.

Irving was determined to prove himself. The old players of the Nets were also holding back their energy and wanted to avenge the Warriors. Coupled with George who adjusted his state, the Nets finally got into the expected state after nearly two months.

Time came to Christmas unknowingly, and the Nets had just played a wave of eight consecutive victories.

They will usher in the Christmas game on Christmas, against the old rival Celtics who had lost before.

The players were dissatisfied with regretting the loss in the last game, but this time at their own home court, they were all suffocating in their hearts and wanted to win back.

The atmosphere at the Barclays Center is full of Christmas atmosphere. It coincides with the festive season and the Christmas game. The fans are full of smiles.

If you can witness a victory at home, it will definitely be a happy event.

Amidst the cheers of the audience, the starting players of both sides appeared one after another.

The Nets are the regular starters, with Irving and Butler on the outside, George and Yi Jianlian on the front, and Jokic at the center.

For the Celtics, Thomas Jr. has been out for January with a hip injury, and the current starting point guard is Marcus Smart, shooting guard Jaylen Brown, small forward Hayward, power forward Horford, center Aaron Baines.

Yi Jianlian jumped first for the Nets.

Irving received the ball and quickly advanced to the frontcourt. He wanted to play the Celtics, but Smart was very clever and stuck to Irving early, and the rest of the Celtics also stood up. Location.

Although the strength on paper is not strong, the defense of the Celtics under Stevens is really not bad at all.

Jokic's organization at the top of the circle.

When Thomas Jr. was there, it was an obvious breakthrough, but the Celtics' current lineup on the court, let alone the offense, the defense is really impregnable. George and Irving have no chance to intersperse consecutively. Jokic's last hold The ball did not score a layup.

Tang Tian turned his head and saw Stevens standing on the sidelines to remind the players to defend at the beginning of the game. His old subordinate really wanted to beat him.
