This Forward is Not Serious

Vol 2 Chapter 616: A new start for the Nets

Lin Ying also smiled and pointed at Caruso after dunking.

Before he crossed over, Caruso was not so good, he just relied on defense to gain a firm foothold in the Lakers.

So he elected to let the Nets sign Caruso, which is the same as signing Dillon Brooks, or Dorian Finney Smith, just because he knows this guy plays in the NBA and can give it a try.

After all, many NBA players can play not only because of strength and hard work, but also because of opportunities.

But now it seems, Caruso is undervalued.

This is a player who will never be a superstar, or even an All-Star, but he has a chance to be that top-level role player.

Just like Tucker.

This kind of player can be comparable to a star player in some cases!

It's not entirely a bad thing to see Bradley get poached at this time.

With Bradley here and the team signing Stephenson, Caruso will be sitting on the bench most of the time as he did last season.

But now, the Nets' predicament has given him a chance to show himself!

At the critical moment, it was Davis who stood up on the Lakers side.

He hit Tucker with his back from a high position, and after turning around, he hit a hook with a big stride.

Davis is a talent, and it is difficult to completely defend against it.

58 to 64, or 6 points difference.

The game has a tendency to enter a stalemate.

Lu had gotten up from the bench at this time to the sidelines.

Although the current situation is better than he expected, but it has been like this, he certainly hopes that the team can do better.

However, in the next few rounds, both sides invariably strengthened their defense, and each side missed two attacks.

The game has officially entered a stalemate stage.

The Nets had the ball again. Lin Ying was flanked by three people as soon as he caught the ball. He quickly scored the ball, but Crabbe still failed to make a three-pointer after catching the ball.

After the intensity of the confrontation on the field, it becomes very difficult to score.

Lin Ying was in a good position for the ball, and was about to rush for the offensive rebound, but before him, a figure rose directly into the air.

The reflection of the light on the back of the head was extremely dazzling.

It's Caruso!

This guy is Barry's second, and the height of the jump is unbelievable.

"Bang!"

What's even more incredible is that this guy grabbed the rebounding basketball after he vacated the air and just completed the dunk!

The moment the ball was smashed in, the Lakers fans at the scene were stunned.

Apart from beep beep, their inner reaction at this time is... Is this okay? !

Because of Rick Barry, fans know that "white people can fly", but the NBA history is so long, how many white people can fly!

Caruso is abruptly adding himself to this very few ranks!

The first to react were the Nets bench teammates. Stephenson was the first to jump from the bench to the sidelines, and then directly played his "guitar" celebration.

Generally speaking, this is his own exclusive celebration, but Caruso's buckle is really amazing!

The other members of the Nets also jumped up one after another, with an incredible look on their faces, and Zhou Qi's expression of holding his head in his hands was also very eye-catching.

But what’s more interesting is that Caruso was also very excited after finishing the dunk, rushing straight out of the bottom line, standing straight and watching the audience.

This should be his celebration, not exaggerated, but very emotional!

The fans at the scene were also restless after they came back to their senses.

This bald guy really gives them so many incredible feelings!

Lu had been standing on the sidelines, but his face was already smiling.

Caruso not only completed the defensive task he explained well, this attack really surprised you!

Perhaps, tonight is an opportunity for Caruso to win the starting position of the Nets for himself!

Of course, the happiest person at this time was Walkendian sitting in the auditorium.

Originally, he was still worried about the lineup, but Lu seems to have solved it for him!

The game continued, and the Nets chased after the victory and tied the point difference in one breath.

In this wave of offense, Lin Ying even deliberately created opportunities for Caruso, assisting the latter to complete an alley dunk.

Today Caruso's five best **** can't run.

However, the Nets couldn't go any further after tying.

McMillan called a timeout, and when the timeout came back, the Big Three of the Lakers began to exert their collective strength.

The Nets' dual-core team also responded quickly, and the two sides once again entered a stalemate.

At this time, McMillan stopped pacing on the sidelines.

Although the tie was a surprise to him, it also annoyed him.

But as long as there is a stalemate, the situation is still good for the Lakers.

Because the Lakers opened the score in the first half not by the contest in the starting stage, but by the transition from the bench, the Lakers can always keep a superstar on the court, and that is their biggest advantage.

In the last three minutes of the game, the two teams were tied at 78, which was a close match.

At this time, both sides began to enter the rotation one after another.

Lu here replaced Lin Ying and Jokic.

In the third quarter, the Nets chased a full 12-point difference, Caruso scored 7 points, and the three goals were amazing, but that was only 7 points, and the remaining points were basically still Lin Ying and Joki Qi is taking it, and the two of them consume a lot of physical energy.

At this time, the lineup of the two teams was on the Nets side: Rose, Crabbe, Guy, James Johnson, Zhou Qi.

On the Lakers side: Payton Jr., Seth Curry, James, Kuzma, Zubac.

In order to ensure the intensity of the field during this period, McMillan directly arranged for James to play these few minutes.

James is also quite powerful. In the first round after the substitution, he directly broke through Johnson and scored a flying dunk!

If he can't beat Lin Ying, he can't beat Johnson? !

McMillan adjusted his sitting posture when he saw this scene.

Lu's adjustment is indeed wonderful, but the gap in the lineup cannot be made up by such an adjustment.

"Defense! Defense!"

The Lakers fans were ignited by James' dunk, and at this time, they cheered for the home team in unison.

Encouraged by the fans, the Lakers' defensive intensity on the court is not low.

Rose's breakthrough after the pick-and-roll was pinched and forced to give the ball to Guy.

After Gay received the ball, there was not much time left to attack, and he directly faced James's emergency stop shot after a change of direction.

The difficulty of this ball is not small. Considering the state of Gay this season, this ball is basically a success for the Lakers to defend...

"Shh!"

To everyone's surprise, Guy made the ball!

The surprising thing happened again!

And the surprises continue.

In the past three minutes, the Lakers relied on James to score consecutively, but the Nets Gay and Rose also opened fire one after another, still helping the Nets maintain the situation, and even Crabbe's last three-pointer received a three-pointer. Let the Nets lead to end the third quarter!

Many fans at the scene were a bit incomprehensible.

The Nets players are still those in the first half, those who add up to only 10 points, why are they all changed in the second half?

Not only the fans at the scene, but many fans in front of the TV also watched and didn't react.

"Luo is really a very good and powerful coach."

On the commentary stand, Kenny Smith came out to explain the critical moment as an analyst.

Caruso's performance should have been unexpected by the Nets coaching staff, because Lue's expectation should be to have Caruso defend well and then let the duo work hard to chase points.

But this alternate linking segment is actually in Lu's plan.

A question that Rich Paul thought about before, and that other fans should also think about, is this group of Nets really bad?

the answer is negative.

Although Durant, Kobe, Ariza and Bradley are all very important players, the players who are added should never be so bad that they feel like they can't play in the NBA.

To put it bluntly, role players need core players to play well because most of them are functional players.

The Nets had a lot of core players before, and in some cases, the transition from the bench even allowed two core belts.

But when only Lin Ying and Jokic are left this season, the situation is naturally different.

And because many times this season, dual-core scoring is needed to maintain the situation, and it is not realistic for them to go to the bench to take the bench.

Take Gay as an example. In his prime, he just touched Durant's butt. Now he's not even a quasi-All-Star. Otherwise, he's only worth 10 million. So much cheap to pick up.

But even so, he was above the league average.

There's a personal aspect to his struggles, as well as the intensity of the defense he's been receiving.

The Nets' bench is the only one who is a threat to play with the ball, so shouldn't he frantically attack him!

But when Rose was put on the bench, the problem was greatly alleviated.

Ross and Guy are not at the peak of their strength. It is difficult for any of them to play the sixth man, but what if they are put together?

This is Lu's adjustment at the strategic level.

Three cobblers, the top Zhuge Liang!

Rose and Gay were holding each other on the court, sharing the defensive pressure for each other, and the result was that the game presented itself, and both of them were in good shape.

Of course, with the current state of the game, Caruso's performance is crucial.

Although he only scored 7 points in three quarters, these 7 points are all crucial and meaningful.

In the fourth quarter, the two sides were still at a stalemate.

Although Lu's strategic adjustment is very meaningful, in the decisive stage, it is the performance of the stars.

The Big Three on the Lakers are in good shape, and the Nets have to look at the opportunity if they want to open the score.

It is a pity that such an opportunity did not come, and Caruso was taken care of after his amazing performance in the third quarter, and there was no more dazzling performance.

The game came to the final decisive moment, that is, at this time, Lin Ying's role began to be infinitely magnified.

It's like playing a game, the stronger the hero, the more effective it is in the endgame.

At this time, the physical strength of both sides was extremely exhausted, and it was difficult for even James to score the ball. Lin Ying's ability to surpass the Big Three of the Lakers was reflected.

His last few consecutive difficult goals directly helped the Nets win the game.

114 to 110, the Nets finally won by 4 points.

The results of the game were the same as in the past, and they all won very thrillingly, and the points were still concentrated on the dual cores.

Lin Ying scored 46 points and 6 assists, and Jokic also had a quasi-triple-double with 27 points, 16 rebounds and 7 assists.

But winning this game means a lot to the Nets.

Because the Nets completed the reversal, and the half-court role players in the reversal played very well.

Or in a way, it's a fresh start for the Nets this season.

After the game, Walkendian excitedly went down to the court and hugged the Nets players one by one.

The gloom that was on his shoulders before the game and made him unable to frown, seemed to have dissipated at this time.

Of course, in the Lakers' halftime at this time, James was panting, watching the score from time to time, feeling very hopeless.

What's more hopeless than the reversal of this crucial battle?

Paul went over to comfort James for a while at this time, and also mentioned Cousins.

Although it is a pity to lose, they still have Cousins ​​not playing tonight. Keeping this state, when Cousins ​​returns, the Lakers will still have a big chance of winning.

...

At the post-match press conference, Lu not only brought Lin Ying and Jokic, but also Caruso on purpose.

And what is unexpected is that this conference finally turned into a "card blowing conference".

"Opportunities are for those who are prepared and Alex is clearly prepared and doing more than I could have imagined."

Caruso, who Lu said as soon as he opened his mouth, was embarrassed.

"I love playing with Alex on the court. You know, defending perimeter players is not my forte. I don't have that problem with him."

Jokic is very real. As a little fat man who can run a little less, there is really nothing to make him happier than this.

"The one who has been training with me the longest this summer is Alex. It's not surprising that he has a performance, but to be honest, he still surprised me with his performance, which shows that he is completely capable of doing more."

But when it comes to blowing, Lin Ying blows the hardest, and Caruso blushed directly.

When the reporter finally turned the question object to Caruso, the bald guy was nervous and couldn't say anything.

Fortunately, after taking a few deep breaths, he finally recovered.

"I only got 10 points, even though it was the best of my career."

He's quite humorous.

"I'm just doing what I can, and winning tonight is a bigger contribution from everyone else~www.wuxiahere.com~ Coach, Lin and Nikola praised me, I just wanted to encourage me, I Accept such encouragement and strive to do better in the following games."

His attitude is very humble.

This also made the reporters in the audience suddenly like him.

Of course, it also includes Lin Ying and Jokic on the side.

Although many stars are made up of characters, as a player, it is or is not the most clear.

Caruso's youthful temperament, which is completely inconsistent with his shiny back head, just happened to be a voice from his heart.

Such a teammate, why not like it?

And Lin Ying is also happy. After tonight's game, he felt a lot lighter on his shoulders.

For the Nets, this will be a very good new starting point.
