Coach: Coaching the Grizzlies at the beginning, playing the bantam

On the next possession, the ball came to Durant.

After Durant caught the ball, he stood outside the three-point line, his eyes firm and cold, as if his prey had been locked.

Butler stayed close to Durant, with his hands spread out, trying to block the scoring machine's offensive line with his body.

However, Durant is no ordinary guy. His flexible feet and excellent dribbling skills make Butler elusive.

Suddenly, Durant kicked his left foot and broke through to the right. Butler quickly adjusted his position and tried to keep up with Durant.

But Durant's speed and rhythm were erratic, and he suddenly changed direction during the breakthrough and swayed to the left again. Butler was shaken and staggered, and after barely regaining his balance, he lost his best defensive position.

Durant took advantage of the situation to accelerate and go straight to the basket.

Not to be outdone, Butler struggled to catch up and stretched out his long arms to try to block the shot.

However, Durant was well prepared, adjusted his body posture in the air, raised the ball high above his head, and avoided Butler's block.

But just as Durant was about to complete a layup, Butler's hand accidentally hit Durant's arm.

Durant's body lost balance in the air, and the force of the layup weakened, and the ball eventually bounced out of the basket.

The referee immediately blew the whistle and punished Butler's thug for a foul.

The entire audience exclaimed that this one-on-one duel ended in this way. After Durant landed, he smiled slightly, seemingly not surprised by the result.

Butler looked a little annoyed, obviously he almost got it.

At this time, the commentator Wang Meng said excitedly: "Did you see it? This is Durant's singles ability! He can easily break through the opponent's defense with his excellent dribbling and rhythm changes, making the opponent unable to defend!"

Yang Yi also echoed: "That's right! Durant not only has super scoring ability, but his dribbling and breakthrough skills are also first-rate. Although Butler defends well, he still seems a little inadequate in front of Durant."

Durant walked to the free throw line and prepared to take a free throw.

Wang Meng continued: "Now, Durant will have the opportunity to score for the team through free throws. I believe he will be able to hit these two free throws steadily."

Sure enough, Durant walked to the free throw line and adjusted his breathing.

On the first free throw, Durant jumped slightly, flicked his wrist, and the ball drew a perfect arc and hit the ball steadily. The entire audience burst into warm applause and cheers.

Yang Yi said: "Durant is such a trustworthy player, and his free throws have always been very stable."

Wang Meng continued: "Durant is not only a scoring weapon for the Nets, but also a superstar in the entire NBA. His scoring ability is intimidating to opponents, and he can pose a threat to the team every time he attacks."

Durant made the second free throw equally easily, and the ball hit the basket again.

After two free throws, the score became 26:13.

The Heat attacked, Hiero held the ball again, and still singled out Mitchell on the outside.

At this time, Hiro received a pass from his teammate and stood outside the three-point line, his eyes seemed to have locked on the basket.

Mitchell stayed close to him, with his hands open, trying to tell Hiero with body language: This is my territory, don't even think about scoring easily.

However, Hero is not an easy person to deal with. With excellent dribbling skills, he sways left and right, trying to find opportunities to break through. Mitchell followed closely behind, using his mad dog-like close defense to try to block all Hiero's offensive routes.

Hiro dribbled to the top of the arc and suddenly accelerated to break through. Mitchell quickly adjusted his defensive position to try to keep up with Hiero.

But Hiro's speed and rhythm were erratic, and he suddenly changed direction during the breakthrough, causing Mitchell to stumble.

However, Mitchell did not give up. He quickly adjusted his posture and continued to follow closely.

Hiero broke through all the way and came to the free throw line. At this time, he faced Mitchell's tight defense and found it difficult to make an easy layup.

But Hiro did not panic, but calmly observed the situation on the court. It was found that although Mitchell defended tightly, there was still a gap between his steps.

So, Hiro jumped decisively, raised the ball high above his head, and made a difficult jump shot.

Seeing this, Mitchell jumped up and tried to block the shot.

Unfortunately, Hiero's shot was extremely fast. The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air, passed directly through Mitchell's fingertips, and flew towards the basket.

I saw the basketball spinning in the air and finally falling steadily into the basket.

"Shh!"

At 26:15, Hiero scored a difficult jumper and recovered two points for the Heat.

After Mitchell landed, although he was a little upset, he also understood that he had done his best.

Although his mad dog-like close defense failed to prevent Hiero from scoring, it also caused a lot of trouble to Hiero. His defensive attitude and efforts are worthy of recognition.

At this time, Yang Yi couldn't help but admire: "Hiro's singles was really wonderful. With his excellent dribbling and breakthrough skills, he successfully broke through Mitchell's defense. And Mitchell's defense was also excellent. Crazy dog-like close defense made it difficult for Hiero to score easily.”

At the same time, Lu Yong on the sidelines gently rubbed his chin with his fingers, thinking about how the Nets would target Hiero.

Hiro's offensive ability is indeed strong, but his defense is also half a colander.

Durant's defensive effect on Butler is good and there is no need to adjust.

Brunson also did a good job of restricting Nunn, at least he didn't let Nunn get to the basket easily.

But it is indeed difficult for Mitchell to limit Hiero one-on-one.

If he continues to be allowed to defend alone, Hiero may keep scoring points.

This will not only allow the Heat to chase points, but also easily allow the Heat's offense to gain momentum, which will damage Mitchell's confidence.

Thinking of this, Lu Yong stood up decisively and asked the referee for a timeout. He planned to target Hiero. He seemed a little drifting in these two rounds.

At this time, the Nets had a double-digit lead. When they saw Lu Yong suddenly call a timeout, not only the Nets players on the court were confused, but even the fans, commentators and domestic fans on the other side of the ocean were all confused.

I don’t know what Lu Yong is going to do. After all, the timeout call is really confusing.

"Huh? What's going on with Coach Lu? The score is so far ahead, why did a timeout suddenly be called?" A middle-aged fan scratched his head and asked in confusion.

"Yes, at this time we should pursue the victory and continue to widen the score gap." A young fan next to him also echoed.

Commentator Yang Yi looked at the situation on the court with a confused look on his face: "This timeout is really confusing. The Nets' morale is high now and the players are in good shape. Lu Yong called a timeout at this time. Could it be that Is there any special tactical arrangement?”

Wang Meng also nodded and agreed: "Indeed, generally speaking, calling a timeout when leading is to avoid the opponent's counterattack climax, or to adjust the team's tactics. But the current situation of the Nets does not seem to require this ”

On the bench, coach Lu Yong stood on the sidelines, scanning every player with sharp eyes.

He took a deep breath and then spoke slowly: "Next, we have to change our tactics. Hiero is the core of their offense during this period. We need to use unlimited pick-and-rolls, single-point hits on him, consume his physical strength, and disrupt His rhythm."

After listening to Lu Yong's words, the players all showed knowing smiles on their faces.

They know that this tactical arrangement is obviously aimed at Hiero, and Hiero is one of the most difficult scoring points on the opposing team.

Through this tactic, they can not only consume Hiero's physical strength, but also create more scoring opportunities on the offensive end. "Understood, coach!" The players nodded in agreement, with a hint of cunning in the smiles on their faces.

They know that this tactical arrangement will cause a lot of trouble to their opponents.

"Very good, we need to cooperate closely, the pick-and-roll must be in place, and the singles must be decisive." Coach Lu Yong continued to emphasize, "Remember, our goal is to win this game, so we cannot relax every minute and every second. "

The players nodded again, their eyes full of determination and confidence.

They know that as long as they play according to coach Lu Yong's tactical arrangements, victory is within sight.

The timeout ended and the Nets players returned to the court.

Start following coach Lu Yong's instructions and create offensive opportunities through unlimited pick-and-rolls.

On the first attack after the timeout, the Nets launched new offensive tactics.

Durant stood outside the three-point line, and with a glance, he started a tacit pick-and-roll cooperation with teammate Brunson.

Brunson quickly moved in front of Durant, blocking the defender's view of him. At the same time, Durant easily broke through the first line of defense with his excellent dribbling skills.

Heat player Hiero was originally responsible for marking players in other positions. However, with Durant's breakthrough and Brunson's pick-and-roll, Hiero was switched to Durant.

Facing this superstar with long arms and comprehensive skills, Hiero obviously felt the pressure.

Durant did not give Hiero any chance to adjust, quickly distanced himself from Hiero, and challenged the Heat guard one-on-one.

Herro tried to use speed and agility to counter Durant, but soon discovered that it didn't help at all.

Durant's steps were steady and powerful, and he easily passed Hiero's defense and reached the basket.

Facing the empty basket, Durant did not hesitate at all, leaped high, dunked with a backhand, and slammed the ball into the basket.

"boom!"

28: 15.

The entire stadium instantly boiled, and the cheers from the audience were deafening.

The commentator couldn't help but praise loudly: "It's so wonderful! Durant's goal showed his all-round ability, whether it is dribbling, breakthrough or dunk, he is impeccable. Hiro has absolutely no choice on the defensive end. I lost my temper after being beaten by Durant!”

Hero himself shook his head helplessly. He has tried his best, but in front of a player like Durant, it does seem a little inadequate.

Adu forced himself on Mitchell, and this dunk was very hard!
The Heat attacked, and Hiero took advantage of the situation and once again singled out Mitchell.

Mitchell looked solemn and devoted himself to defense.

Hiero dribbled forward, using his flexible feet and skillful skills to try to get past Mitchell's defense.

Mitchell stayed close to Hiero and opened his hands to block Hiero's breakthrough route. However, Hiro was not afraid. He relied on his excellent physical fitness to force his way into the inside.

Just when Hiero was about to complete his breakthrough, Brunson, the Nets player on the weak side, suddenly came to help defend. Like a keen cheetah, he accurately captured Hiero's offensive intentions.

Brunson quickly approached Hiero, and his big hands were like iron pliers, tightly clamping the basketball in Hiero's hand.

Hero was taken aback. He didn't expect Brunson to show up at this time. He tried to regain control of the basketball, but Brunson already had the ball firmly in his hands.

After Brunson successfully stole the ball, he immediately launched a counterattack.

He rushes forward like a bolt of lightning with blinding speed.

Mitchell saw Brunson successfully steal the ball and immediately followed on the other side.

He understood that this was an excellent opportunity to fight back.

After Brunson rushed to the frontcourt, facing the Nets' defensive players, he did not choose to attack directly, but cleverly used his body to attract the opponent's double-team.

Just when the defensive players were attracted by Brunson's breakthrough, Brunson suddenly passed the ball from behind to Mitchell who was following up from behind.

This pass was so precise and so quick that it was amazing.

After Mitchell received the ball, he shot without hesitation. The movement is smooth and powerful, and the basketball draws a perfect arc in the air.

Next second,
"Shh!"

31: 15!

Accurately hit the center of the basket!

After scoring the goal, Mitchell clenched his fists and roared, letting out a fierce breath!
Brunson also ran over and high-fived Mitchell to celebrate. The two cooperated perfectly and caught Hiero off guard.

The success of this steal and counterattack not only demonstrated Brunson's keen observation, but also reflected Mitchell's excellent running awareness and shooting skills.

The fans at the scene stood up and cheered when they saw this scene, applauding Brunson and Mitchell's wonderful cooperation.

In China, far away across the ocean, countless fans are nervously and excitedly paying attention to every detail of this game through the live broadcast room.

The barrage area in the live broadcast room was originally a calm blue ocean, but at the moment Mitchell hit the three-pointer, the entire screen seemed to be ignited, and the colorful barrage scrolled crazily, as if to Let all your joy and excitement pour out.

"666! Brunson's steal is so awesome!" One fan wrote excitedly, and his words stood out in the barrage.

"Mitchell's three-pointer was so solid, he was so successful!" Another fan was not to be outdone. His barrage followed closely, praising Mitchell's outstanding performance.

"The Nets are awesome! This time, Hiero finally has a taste of being targeted!" A fan with an obvious hint of provocation said. His words immediately resonated with other fans in the live broadcast room, and everyone agreed. With that, the barrage area was filled with laughter and laughter for a while.

Just as everyone was immersed in the joy of victory, a senior fan made a profound comment: "This counterattack is not only the credit of Brunson and Mitchell, but also the collaboration of the entire Nets team. From Brunson’s steal to Mitchell’s three-pointer, every link was perfectly coordinated. This is the true spirit of basketball, team first, advance and retreat together!”

His words immediately aroused heated discussion among other fans in the live broadcast room. Everyone agreed and believed that this counterattack indeed demonstrated the Nets' team spirit and collaboration ability. At the same time, some fans began to recall the previous scenes where Hiero frequently singled out Mitchell, and lamented that Brunson's defensive steal this time was really a relief.

"Herro always beat Mitchell alone before, which made me angry. This time Brunson finally helped Mitchell vent his anger!"

"Yeah, I feel really bad when I see Mitchell being singled out. This time Brunson and Mitchell's cooperation is so perfect, it's like a lesson for Hero!"

At this moment, the camera in the live broadcast room cut to Brunson and Mitchell high-fiving in celebration.

Seeing this scene, the fans in the live broadcast room were even more excited.

"Seeing them so happy makes me happy too!"

"Yes, this is the charm of basketball. Both players and fans can find their own happiness in this game!"
