Many people have given up. Some even predicted that they would be slaughtered by the Spurs in the fourth quarter after the third quarter.
Basketball courts are like this. When a team collapses, anything can happen.
After the referee's whistle, the Nets players stood up from the dugout one by one and stepped into the court.
Roy, McGinnis, Carter, Lagabel, everything seemed the same as before.
Until behind them, a bald man wearing a No. 5 white jersey slowly walked into the court.
The audience and Nets fans all over the world widened their eyes.
"Kidd! It's Jason Kidd!"
Kidd was wearing a training suit before the game, and everyone thought he was just dressed like this to cheer for the team.
After all, the news had reported in detail how serious Jason Kidd's injury was.
And the approximate timetable for recovery from the injury was about 4 weeks.
And now less than two weeks have passed.
Why did this happen?
Could the Nets have been playing a big game?
Not only the fans were shocked, but also all the Spurs team members were in doubt.
Popovich looked at Bowen, the instigator, puzzled, and the latter shook his head.
He thought about it again and felt that it was not right. If Kidd had recovered, why didn't he let him play at the beginning?
But he waited until the team was 18 points behind before he came late.
Popovich thought about it and almost understood Kidd's intention.
Want to learn from Willis Reed? Is Sister Wang back?
But he was not sure. He had to play the game to know how the other party recovered.
He repeatedly reminded his teammates that they needed to be on guard against the changes brought about by Kidd's appearance.
After all, with an 18-point lead, there was no possibility of being killed in seconds.
There is nothing wrong with being careful. As long as you play steadily, it will not be a problem to win this game.
But Tony Parker doesn't think so. He has always been known as a player who only eats and sleeps to play against Kidd.
Even though he was blown up by Kidd in the first three games of the finals,
Parker still felt that he had an obligation to let the world know that I was not just a name for playing against Kidd.
What's the big deal about an injured old man coming back? I will be responsible for dealing with him because I am the second in command of the Spurs!
Kidd's appearance shocked everyone, and the Nets home court was already in a frenzy.
The whole audience shouted: "KIDD! KIDD! KIDD!"
Kidd stretched out his arms to signal the audience. Facing the enthusiastic fans,
even Kidd, who had seen big scenes, was moved.
No matter what, he must repay these lovely fans with his performance.
"Kidd is back! The Nets gave everyone a huge surprise at this critical moment. Is the game suspenseful again?"
CCTV commentator Xu Jicheng shouted excitedly in the live broadcast room,
"This is indeed good news for the Nets, but I also hope that everyone can look at this calmly and rationally. Kidd, who has not played for many days, is far from being able to play according to the normal recovery period of injuries. Although I am looking forward to a miracle like everyone else, it is not fair to expect too much from an injured player."
In any case, Kidd's ability to step onto the court again has indeed made the home fans who had already lost confidence look forward to it again.
Amid the applause of the audience, the game resumed.
In the Nets backcourt, McGinnis served the ball from the baseline.
The basketball was still given to Carter.
To be safe, Frank decided that it would be safer for Carter to dribble across half court.
Because he knew that the intensity of today's game was completely different from the previous six games,
He was afraid that Kidd would not be able to cope with this level of defensive intensity for a while.
In the half court,
Bowen had no choice but to give in to Carter's strong body.
The oppressive defense failed to withstand Carter's rampage.
Every time he crossed the half court, it was a difficult journey. The defensive strategies of both sides were constantly changing.
After crossing the half court, Carter dribbled the ball twice at the top of the arc. Seeing Kidd's eager eyes, he still gave the ball to him.
It was necessary to give it to Kidd. Kidd was allowed to play in order to hold the ball and organize the offense.
Otherwise, why would you let him play? As a pitcher, he could not play his own ability, and he was even worse than Jefferson.
Then his playing would be meaningless.
Kidd touched the basketball, and the feeling of not playing for a long time made him excited.
Parker immediately came up:
"Old man, I will not accept your mercy!"
For the overall consideration of the team, the Spurs still let Parker focus on him on the defensive end.Take care,
"Really? Then I'll wait and see."
After all, he is a nearly 35-year-old veteran with rich experience. Facing Parker's continuous interference, he quickly adapted to the rhythm after being slightly affected.
He dribbled the ball slowly at a 45-degree angle, skillfully gave orders to his teammates, and adjusted their positions.
While Parker was talking, he passed the ball to Roy in the inside.
The Nets' offense was still in order, and the first attack choice was still Roy.
Roy turned around and got the ball to get rid of Duncan's continuous pressure on his back.
Compared to himself, the difficulty of facing Duncan in singles is much lower than back-to-basket,
Because Duncan's lower limbs are too strong and his chassis is too stable,
In ordinary back-to-basket offense, he has to spend 150% of his effort to make a round, which is thankless.
But facing the basket is different, which just takes advantage of Roy's footwork.
Roy held the ball in front of him, and after two consecutive fake moves, he broke through to the right,
He broke through and moved sideways to the center of the basket. Although his steps were fast,
because they were all moving in a small circle outside the reasonable collision zone, Duncan only needed to move sideways a few steps to block Roy's sight.
But Roy was not the kind of inside player who could be forced to move. While attracting Duncan to move,
he changed direction very quickly and took advantage of Duncan's less flexible foot reaction.
He squeezed into the inside from the left side of Duncan in the opposite direction.
The action was so fast that Horry, who was ready to respond not far away, gave up McGinnis at the first time,
and went directly into the inside, and together with Duncan, they surrounded Roy in the restricted area.
Roy was trapped in the interior, and this was not the first time today.
He found an opportunity, dodged the defense, and passed the ball to McGinnis in the bottom corner.
"You use this trick again, the same trick is useless to me!"
Parker rushed directly to McGinnis according to the Spurs' switching defense theory at the moment Roy passed the ball.
In his eyes, Kidd, who had just recovered from a serious injury, had no threat at all.
Besides, Kidd has never been good at shooting. Giving up on him and blocking McGinnis, who has a 40% three-point shooting rate, is obviously a more reasonable choice.
McGinnis received the ball, and before he had time to adjust his shot, Parker was running towards him.
Coach Frank clenched his fists on the sidelines.
"Chuck, don't think too much. You are 2.01 meters tall. Don't be afraid of Parker. Shoot for me!"
