However, it is obvious that the Nets are not trying to play slow against fast, but against the Han Chinese team. It seems that John Calipari, the new head coach of the NBA, obviously thinks very highly of himself.

He played against the Han Chinese team in one breath and won the first victory of coaching an NBA team for the first time.

It's a pity that in the NBA, the methods taught by John Calipari in college are obviously unable to deal with the veteran Paul Westphal.

"Kid, increase the speed a little faster."

Paul Westphal looked at the current situation on the court, smiled slightly, then stood up from his seat and shouted to the Han Chinese team members.

As the commander on the court, Kidd still knew his responsibilities. He nodded and started running immediately again!

And Kobe has only one task now, and that is to run to the right open position.

Don't worry, as soon as you reach the "designated position", Kidd's pass will be delivered quickly.

John Calipari naturally saw this situation, but he had no intention of making changes for the time being. Before the game, he had studied the Han Chinese team's games in the past few years, and he himself felt the Han Chinese team's playing style.

It is relatively simple, with bombardment as the first tactic. After the substitute players come on, they focus on possession of the ball. In fact, the Nets are not good at positional warfare, but in terms of the strength of both sides, he feels that there is no difference.

Big, since that's the case, it's better to fight against the opponent.

"Oh my God, the coaches of both sides have arranged bombardment tactics. Just now, the coach of the Han team was still shouting to the players on the court to go faster. Doesn't he know that the offensive time of the game on the court has been compressed to a very short time?

According to my statistics, each attack of the Han team only takes 10 seconds at most to complete. The pace of the game is too fast. So the question is, in such a fast pace of the game, who of the players on both sides will be physically fit first?

Can’t support it?”

The commentator shouted loudly.

Three minutes later.

"Mr. Paul, are you slowing down the team?"

"It seems to me that Kidd and the others are obviously a bit exhausted physically?"

"Should we arrange for a substitute team to play?"

Rick Carlisle couldn't help but feel worried when he saw the Han Chinese players running all over the court. Yes, running back and forth with their opponents for 9 minutes, no one can withstand this!

"It's okay, just hold on for another three minutes. After finishing this quarter, I'm going to let the substitute players play in the second quarter."

Paul Westphal also has confidence in his team. He believes that his team can persist until the end of this quarter.

An NBA quarter only lasts for 12 minutes, and 9 minutes have passed. If we persist, we may be able to expand the score and let the substitute team play to gain more rest time for the starting players.

"After the Han people continued to speed up the pace, their shooting percentage still did not drop, but on the other hand, the Nets' shooting percentage has dropped a lot. It can be said that if the Han people continue to maintain this state, the Nets will be in danger.

Got it!" the narrator said.

Obviously, as the pace of the game becomes faster and faster, the overall strength of both sides is also clear, and the New York Han Chinese team has the upper hand.

But is this really the case?

John Calipari's head started to hurt now. He thought that his team would definitely not lose to the Han Chinese team in terms of speed and shooting percentage. But as a result, look at what the Nets played, they couldn't outrun them in terms of speed.

That’s it, he didn’t even beat his opponent in hit rate, what a joke!

John Calipari's face is full of anger now, because he knows that the Nets are about to be overwhelmed. As for Paul Westphal's tactical intentions, he has now clearly seen it. To put it bluntly,

The Han team is walking their dogs and playing with the net...

His team has been caught in Paul Westphal's net from the beginning and is now almost surrounded.

Being able to create shooting opportunities in less than 10 seconds, and the shooting percentage is not low, this team is not the weakling that he thought was last season?

John Calipari doesn’t think his team is a team with strong defensive capabilities, but even so, the aggressiveness shown by the New York Hans in today’s game still frightened him, and he couldn’t see it before the end of the quarter.

Only Biao scored more than 30 points. How can anyone play with this shooting rate? If the normal Han team maintains such a shooting rate, then I don’t know what the final score will be...

At the end of the first quarter, the New York Hans led the New Jersey Nets 38:21.

The score difference of 17 points is neither too big nor too small. It all depends on how the Han team arranges its troops in the second quarter.

"Good job, guys!"

"I'm going to let the substitute players come on in the second quarter. You guys have a good rest. I won't let you play until the second half. Do you understand?"

Paul Westphal encouraged the starting players who had just come off the field.

Kobe and Mourning are indeed a little tired, and their physical strength will obviously be a bit exhausted. It is still okay to take a rest.

"Mark, when you come on the court, you need to keep your rhythm steady. Don't play against the Nets easily anymore. You need to slow down, you know?"

"My request to your substitute players is very simple. In the second quarter, you must make a very smooth transition and never let the Nets catch up with the score?"

"..."

Paul Westphal continued to explain the tactics to Mark Jackson and a group of substitute players in detail.

beep……

The second quarter of the game started, and the Nets also replaced several more aggressive players.

And the New York Hans also came here with a five-up, five-down approach.

Point guard Mark Jackson is the organizer, and Dan Marley, Aaron McGee, Jermaine O'Neal, and Sam Perkins start running defense.

As soon as the game came up, the Nets had Jason Williams beat Jermaine O'Neal for a hit.

"Don't panic, everyone!"

As an old man in the league, Mark Jackson has rich game experience after all, and he immediately stabilized the situation.

Sure enough, it was different from the "bombardment" tactics in the first quarter. After Mark Jackson stabilized the situation, he kept controlling the ball and dribbled the ball unhurriedly through the half court. Except for Sam Perkins, the other three players

Start running the point guard.

The 24 seconds were slowly passing away, and Mark Jackson could not find a suitable opening to pass the ball this time. The main reason was that the Nets strengthened their defense in this quarter.

The situation has been unable to open up, and when the time is almost up, Sam Perkins runs out and makes a pick-and-roll with Mark Jackson. The latter suddenly breaks into the penalty area, attracts two players inside, and immediately distributes the ball to

Jermaine O'Neal was unattended, and Jermaine O'Neal responded with a dunk.

"pretty!"

Chief assistant Rick Carlisle immediately shouted loudly from the bench.

After Jermaine O'Neal opened the second quarter for the Han Chinese team, the two sides once again entered into a state of you scoring a goal and I scoring a goal.

However, the Nets' bench strength was indeed limited. After wasting another 4 minutes, Nets head coach John Calipari could only continue to send out his starting players to chase points.

The offensive line composed of Jim Jackson, Kendall Gill, and Sam Cassel clearly suppressed the Han Chinese team's outside line.

Among the Han Chinese team's three substitute perimeter players, only Dan Marley has the ability to score, while Aaron McGee and Mark Jackson do not have strong scoring ability.

Coupled with the Nets' Sean Bradley and Tony Massenberg desperately suppressing Sam Perkins and Jermaine O'Neal in the paint, the Nets score quickly approached.
Chapter completed!
