The Godfather of Basketball

"Rebound! Pay attention to the rebound!" Lu didn't pay much attention to it, but just shouted from the sidelines to make the players pay attention to the protection of the defensive rebound.

James assisted Hill to score a layup in the frontcourt. The latter has scored 6 points and his state has recovered significantly compared to the game.

The difference is still 8 points.

Rose is still holding the ball in the frontcourt. Seeing that the Cavaliers' defense is completely on George and Mitchell, he takes the ball and rushes in directly.

Hill didn't expect him to make such a choice, and when he turned around, the tempo was half a beat slower.

Ross rushed in with a whoosh.

Although he is old, but after recovering well from his knee injury, his breakthrough vaguely has the shadow of that year.

Nance Jr. saw that Rose was about to throw a layup to help defend. After jumping up, Rose confronted Nance Jr. in the air, and then stuffed the ball from his side into the hands of Oden under the basket.

Oden got the ball and jumped directly into the violent frame with both hands, shaking the camera at the basket.

There was a whistle at the scene.

Rose's breakthrough and scoring were beautiful, and Oden's back dunk was also beautiful.

After Oden dunked, he high-fived Rose, and sparks sparked between the two.

James played back in the frontcourt and turned back to the free throw line.

Mitchell interfered from behind from the three-point line at this time, and James avoided the angle for a while.

"boom!"

The basketball hit the front and popped out, but George turned around and took it.

At this moment, a figure flew forward.

Ross!

His fast attack is still extremely skilled.

After George saw it, he made a long throw in the backcourt.

The ball flew into Rose's hands. Rose glanced at Hill, who was chasing behind him, accelerated again, and flew directly to the free throw line for a drifting layup.

26 to 30!

Relying on Rose's performance of 4 points and 1 assist in this period, the Nets chased the point difference to 4 points!

"Defend! Defend!"

Rose's performance at this end aroused the emotions of the fans on the scene, and the fans took the initiative to cheer for the team.

James took the ball to the front court and signaled Hill to switch. He wanted to play Rose in a misplaced position.

But just like protecting Irving in the starting stage, the Nets' continuous off-ball substitutions also protected Rose very well.

James couldn't switch, so he gave the ball directly to Clarkson and asked him to single Rose directly.

Clarkson is known for his breakthroughs, and such a choice is not bad.

However, after Clarkson broke into the inside, the Nets' weak side defense came over.

Clarkson wanted to split the ball, but the angle passed poorly, and the pass went directly out of bounds.

James was speechless, he was really helpless with the performance of his teammates.

Rose continued to hold the ball to the front court, and Hill didn't give him a chance at this time.

After restraining Hill's defense, the Nets' tactical movement became less difficult. When Mitchell took the opportunity, Rose chose to pass the ball at the first time. Mitchell caught the ball and shot, which caused Clarkson's thugs.

Tang Tian couldn't help stretching out his hands to applaud at this moment.

Rose's performance exceeded his expectations. After playing, he not only showed his breakthrough characteristics, but also organized well on the court.

It seems that after all these years of ups and downs, he's finally grown up a bit.

It seems that he was the right choice for the 15th candidate.

Mitchell made two free throws, and the Nets' continuous pursuit of points has narrowed the point difference to only 2 points.

Lu was a little anxious at this time, got up and called Deron up, and it was obvious that he was a little dissatisfied with Hill's defense.

James grabbed a three-pointer from the outside line and missed the rebound. Oden took the rebound.

The Nets also counterattacked. George broke through the middle with the ball. After being defended by James, he distributed the ball to Rose who followed up on the right. Rose fell outside the three-point line in the bottom corner. After receiving the ball, he raised his hand and shot.

The eyes of the fans at the scene followed the basketball.

Three-pointers are not something Rose is good at.

The ball crossed a high parabola.

"Shua!"

The ball went into the net hollow!

Rose is feeling like he is playing, and he has made a breakthrough three-pointer!

31 to 30, after the Nets chased 5 points in a row, they even overtook the score!

Lu didn't wait for Deron to play and called a timeout.

This was a good situation, but it was messed up by Ross!

When Rose left the field, he was also greeted with loud cheers from the fans.

Rose's performance in this section moved them from the bottom of their hearts.

Tang Tian noticed a look of dissatisfaction and excitement in Rose's eyes.

Many people may not have noticed that he played for the Cavaliers for the first half of the season, and the Cavaliers also chose to lay off him on the buyout deadline. Not only Irving, he was also playing against his old owner.

After the timeout, both sides replaced the main players, but Ross was still left on the court by Tang Tian.

The continuous scoring performance in the past made the Cavaliers have to take care of him in defense, and the defensive pressure on other points will naturally decrease.

At the end of halftime, the Nets once again reversed the decline in the first quarter and led the Cavaliers by 8 points 53 to 45.

These 8 points are critical.

The other players of the Cavaliers played better than in the first game, and James played not badly, but they still fell behind the Nets in the end. This was a big blow to their psychology and morale in the away game.

Back in the third quarter, the Cavaliers played very tough, and tied the Nets at 25 in a single quarter.

Entering the fourth quarter, Tang Tian still replaced Rose on the field, and he did not disappoint Tang Tian's expectations. He took care of both breakthrough and organization, and led the team to a wave of climax, directly opening the point difference to double digits.

The Nets finally suppressed the Cavaliers' counterattack and won Game 2 of the series 114-102.

James scored 25 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists, Hill scored 16 points, Love and Green both scored 15 points, Korver scored 12 points, Deron scored 10 points and 8 assists, and 6 Cavaliers scored in double figures. The field is much better.

Fans who have watched the game may have a feeling that they may be only one Rose away from victory.

For the Nets, George scored a team-high 26 points, Irving scored 18 points and 3 assists, Butler and Jokic each scored 16 points, and Yi Jianlian scored 12 points.

On the bench, Mitchell only scored 7 points after being heavily marked, but Rose bloomed in Brooklyn this time. He scored the most 12 points and 2 assists on the bench, shooting 5 of 7 shots, and performed quite efficiently.

In the post-match press conference, Tang Tian and his teammates also praised Rose.

"He changed the game. Although he didn't score the most, he helped us at the most critical time." George commented on Rose.

"His passing and organization are really good. Without him, it would be very difficult for us to win this game." Irving also spoke highly of Rose.

"He's Derek Rose. I've known him for six or seven years. I'm not surprised that he did this." Compared to the players, Tang Tian's evaluation was very straightforward.
