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

On the sidelines, Bucks head coach Budenholzer put his hands behind his back, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, focusing on every detail on the court.

His brows furrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about a complicated chess game.

Rose's performance after coming on the field was indeed somewhat beyond his expectations.

Rose, a veteran who was regarded as a big deal at the beginning of the season, has now become a problem in Budenholzer's mind.

Budenholzer began to hesitate whether he should call a timeout and rearrange his defensive strategy.

However, just as he was hesitating, the Nets' counterattack came again.

Antetokounmpo tried a layup under Porzingis' tight defense, but the basketball bounced out after spinning around on the rim.

Cousins ​​used his keen sense of rebounding to grab this key rebound, and he quickly passed the ball to Rose.

After Rose received the ball, he didn't pause at all and advanced quickly with the ball like a bolt of lightning.

He rushed to the top of the arc and made a clever pass, accurately passing the ball to Durant who followed up on the right.

After Durant received the ball, facing Middleton's defense, he performed a beautiful change of direction in front of his body and easily passed his opponent.

At this time, only Antetokounmpo was left under the basket, who returned to defense in time, but Durant was not afraid. He soared into the sky like an eagle spreading its wings.

In the air, Adu completed a stunning giant swing and at the same time switched the ball to his left hand, sending the ball into the basket at an almost incredible angle.

"Shh!"

At this moment, the entire stadium seemed to freeze.

The audience watched this wonderful goal in stunned silence. Durant's goal not only demonstrated his extraordinary physical fitness and basketball skills, but also demonstrated his creativity and physical fitness.

The Bucks players looked at each other, obviously not expecting Durant to complete such a difficult goal.

Antetokounmpo looked down at his hands and seemed to be thinking about why he didn't guard the ball.

Budenholzer witnessed all this from the sidelines and frowned even more. He began to realize that the outcome of this game was no longer a pure technical and tactical competition, but also a test of the players' will and belief. test.

When Rose cleverly assisted Durant in a fast break counterattack and helped him complete the stunning pull-up layup, the atmosphere on the entire Nets bench was instantly ignited.

The substitutes cheered, but Bucks coach Budenholzer on the sidelines could no longer sit still. He quickly stood up, frowned and walked quickly to the technical table, decisively requesting a timeout.

At this time, in the domestic live broadcast room, two well-known commentators Yang Yi and Wang Meng couldn't help but praise Rose's performance.

"Oh, I really didn't expect that!" Yang Yi first sighed, "Mitchell fouled out twice early. I originally thought that the Nets' offense would be greatly affected, but I didn't expect that their offensive efficiency increased instead of decreasing. Among them, Rose’s performance is indispensable!”

Wang Meng also nodded in agreement: "It is true. Rose played the role of a perfect bench player today. You see his performance on the court, whether it is breakthrough, passing or fast break, he handled it just right. He is really becoming more and more of a general." So stylish!”

Yang Yi continued his in-depth analysis: "Rose's breakthrough ability is indeed outstanding. He can always find the opponent's defensive gap at critical moments and then attack decisively. This kind of keen observation and decisiveness is not something ordinary players can possess. In addition, His control over the rhythm of the game is also very good, and he handled several fast breaks perfectly, which is really eye-catching!”

Wang Meng laughed loudly after hearing this: "This is called a blessing in disguise! Mitchell's end gave Ross more opportunities to perform. His performance today really impressed me. The Bucks' defense during this period It’s true that they didn’t do well enough. They need to adjust their strategy after this timeout.”

"Yes," Yang Yi said, "Ross's flexibility, speed and vision were fully demonstrated in today's game. Especially his speed, which is as fast as lightning and hard to guard against. Such a player, He will definitely become a major weapon for the Nets in future games. If the Bucks want to limit him, they will have to use their brains."

Wang Meng also sighed: "Yes, Rose's performance today was really outstanding. Not only can he score by himself, but he can also assist his teammates to score. This ability is indeed very rare among veteran players. It seems that the Nets are really good this time." What a treasure!”

The two of them praised Rose's performance, and the audience in the live broadcast room also listened with gusto. One after another left messages on the barrage expressing their agreement with the two commentators and looking forward to Rose's next performance.

"But having said that," Yang Yi suddenly changed the topic, "Although Rose's performance today is very eye-catching, basketball is a team sport after all. If the Nets want to win, they also need the joint efforts of other players."

Wang Meng also agreed: "It is true! A basketball game is not a battle for one person, but requires the collaboration and efforts of the entire team. We believe that the Nets will work harder to win in the next games!" "

………………

On the sidelines, the timeout whistle sounded, and Bucks coach Budenholzer quickly summoned the players to gather around.

His face no longer had the gentleness of the past, replaced by an unprecedented seriousness.

The players knew that this timeout was unusual, and the head coach was obviously very dissatisfied with the team's recent defensive performance.

Budenholzer stood in front of the players, his eyes scanning every face.

He took a deep breath and then spoke with a firm and powerful voice: "Our recent defense has been too lax! The retreat speed is as slow as a snail, and the assisting defense is not in place! What is going on?"

The players lowered their heads, knowing the coach was telling the truth.

In recent games, their defense has indeed had big problems. Whether it is individual defense or team defense, it seems inadequate.

Budenholzer continued: "The basketball game is not just about offense, defense is equally important! If we can't defend well, then no matter how sharp our offense is, it will be difficult to win the game! Remember, defense wins championships, this is not a saying Empty words!”

He paused, looked around, and saw that the players were listening attentively, and then continued: "We need to defend more actively and cannot let our opponents easily break through our defense. Everyone must improve their defensive awareness. and ability to retreat quickly and help defend in time. Only in this way can we regain the tenacious and strong defensive Bucks team!"

After hearing this, the players had firm looks on their faces.

They know that the head coach's words are right and they must make changes on the defensive end to get out of the current predicament.

Budenholzer felt a little relieved when he saw the players' reactions.

He knows that this group of players has extremely high talent and potential. As long as they can play to their strengths and defend well, the Bucks still have a chance to avoid a sweep.

So he began to lay out new defensive tactics in detail: "From now on, we must strengthen the interference with outside shooting. When the opponent holds the ball on the outside, we must quickly get close and use our body to interfere with their shooting rhythm. At the same time, inside players Pay attention to assisting defense. Once the opponent breaks through the outside line, you must immediately cover their position and block their offensive line. "

He went on to emphasize: "On the defensive end, we must be fast, flexible and decisive. Quickly withdraw from defense, flexibly adjust defensive positions, and decisively attack and steal. We must let our opponents feel our defensive pressure and let them fight in every offensive round. They all find it difficult.”

The players nodded in understanding and began discussing how to better execute these tactics during the game.

Budenholzer felt a little relieved when he saw this scene.

Finally, Budenholzer clapped his hands and said loudly: "Okay, the time is almost up. Remember what I just said, we have to make changes on the defensive end to let our opponents feel our strength. Now, let's Let’s get back in the game and win the game!”

After hearing this, the players stood up and frowned, not knowing what they were thinking.

………………

Different from the somber and almost depressing atmosphere on the Bucks' side, on the Nets' bench, the players were chatting and laughing easily, as if the intense game just now didn't have much impact on them. Psychological stress.

The players came off the field one by one, with faint smiles on their faces. They were joking with each other and discussing the little episodes on the field. The atmosphere was so relaxed that it was impossible to tell that they were in a timeout period of a crucial game. .

Lu Yong stood among the team members, with satisfaction and pride in his eyes.

Looking at the players he has single-handedly brought out, I feel extremely happy.

He knows that although this game is important, but more importantly, his players have learned how to stay calm under pressure and how to have fun in a tense game.

"Everyone played very well!" Lu Yong's voice echoed on the sidelines, clear and powerful, "Especially Derrick, who was called upon at a critical moment and performed very well after coming on the field. His defense and offense both brought us huge improvements. help."

Speaking of Derrick Rose, Lu Yong clapped his hands vigorously, attracting everyone's attention. He looked at Derek, his eyes full of admiration: "Derek, you performed very well today, and I'm proud of you. I hope you can continue to do this and keep working hard."

Derrick Rose smiled and nodded, indicating that he would continue to work hard.

Other team members also gathered around him, some patted him on the shoulder, some made a few jokes, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Lu Yong continued: "This game is of great significance to us, but I hope everyone will not be bound by the result. We must enjoy the process of the game and enjoy the happiness that basketball brings us. Only in this way can we perform on the court. The best level." He looked around and saw that every team member was listening carefully and nodded with satisfaction: "We are a team and everyone is working hard for a common goal. Regardless of the outcome, I’m proud of having a team like you.”

Lu Yong's words inspired the team members, and they all expressed that they would continue their efforts and strive to send the Bucks home to fish in this game.

The atmosphere on the bench became more and more enthusiastic, and everyone was full of fighting spirit.

At this moment, Lu Yong clapped his hands again to signal everyone to be quiet: "Okay, it's almost time, we should go back to the court. Remember, no matter what happens on the court, stay calm and focused. Believe in yourself, Also believe in your teammates. We are the best team!”

The team members stood up one after another, packed their equipment, and prepared to return to the field.

Their faces were filled with confidence and determination, as if they had seen the dawn of victory.

Under the leadership of Lu Yong, the Nets players returned to the court.

With a relaxed attitude and high morale, everyone is ready to face the next challenge.

As for the Bucks, although the atmosphere was still tense, facing such a vibrant and fighting Nets, they had to work hard to deal with it.

As the referee's whistle sounded again, the timeout ended and the players from both sides returned to the court.

The current situation of the Bucks can be described as precarious. They urgently need a score to stabilize their position and boost their morale.

At this critical moment, the one who can stand up and save the situation is naturally their star player - Antetokounmpo.

Antetokounmpo knew that he had a heavy responsibility at this moment, and did not choose to ask for the ball in the low post. Instead, he took the initiative to move to the top of the arc to cover teammate Bledsoe.

This tactical adjustment immediately broke the Nets' defensive rhythm and gave Bledsoe a chance to break through.

After the pick-and-roll was completed, Antetokounmpo bounced outside the three-point line.

Porzingis is well aware of Antetokounmpo's shooting ability and knows that outside shooting is not his strong point, so he does not follow too closely.

However, he did not dare to completely let go of Antetokounmpo. After all, the superstar is a threat in any position on the court.

With the help of Antetokounmpo's screen, Bledsoe decisively broke through to the basket and accelerated towards the basket, intending to cause damage.

However, just when he rushed near the three-second zone, Derrick Rose of the Nets quickly came over to help defend.

Facing Rose's defense, Bledsoe had to break up the ball and look for other offensive opportunities.

The Nets' defensive rotation was extremely fast, and DiVincenzo did not find a very good offensive opportunity after receiving Bledsoe's pass.

Looking around, the only option is to continue passing the ball.

The basketball is passed back and forth among the Bucks players, looking for the best opportunity to attack.

In the end, the basketball returned to Antetokounmpo's hands.

He stood at the free throw line, faced Porzingis' defense, and forced a layup.

For this goal, although Antetokounmpo's offensive choice was not very reasonable - because Porzingis was not out of position at all, it also fully reflected his eagerness to score for the team.

Against Porzingis' tight defense, Antetokounmpo forced a layup and miraculously scored the ball.

There was a burst of cheers from the Bucks bench. This goal undoubtedly injected a shot in the arm for the team.

Antetokounmpo's personal abilities on the offensive end also put the Nets under tremendous pressure.

However, the Nets will naturally not let the Bucks gain momentum easily.

As the star of the Nets, Durant knows that this is the moment for him to stand up and respond. He must use his performance to stabilize the team's position and give his opponents a powerful counterattack.

In the next round, what was unexpected was that Rose and Durant started a pick-and-roll tactic.

This kind of pick-and-roll between outsiders is rare on the court, so the Bucks' Middleton and DiVincenzo were obviously somewhat unprepared when defending.

Durant quickly jumped outside the three-point line after the pick-and-roll, and Rose decisively passed the ball when he saw the opportunity.

The next moment, Durant made a slight adjustment after receiving the ball, then jumped up and shot a three-pointer.

The height of his shot and take-off kept Middleton away, so he could only raise his hand and make a symbolic pounce.

In the end, Middleton could only watch as Durant's three-pointer drew a wonderful arc in the air and hit the basket steadily.

"Shh!"

The Nets' bench also erupted in enthusiastic cheers. Durant's three-pointer was undoubtedly a powerful response to the Bucks.

The competition between the two sides on the court became increasingly fierce, and the fans' emotions were completely ignited.

As the game progressed, every attack and defense from both sides tugged at the heartstrings of the fans.

Antetokounmpo and Durant are the leaders of the two teams, and every matchup between them on the court is full of highlights.

And this contest between superstars is destined to become one of the most exciting chapters of this series.

During the defensive round, the atmosphere on the court was extremely tense.

The Bucks have the ball and are ready to launch a new round of offense, while the Nets are ready to face the challenge.

Cousins ​​​​is standing in a key position in the pick-and-roll. His eyes are wide open and he is concentrating on preparing for the opponent's pick-and-roll.

However, in this defense, Cousins ​​made a small mistake - he made an obvious pulling action while defending.

The referee immediately blew the whistle and pointed at Cousins, a foul!

This penalty put the Nets' defense into a passive position. Fortunately, there were no free throws.

Lu Yong saw it clearly from the sidelines and knew that this foul had little impact on the team's defensive rhythm, but it exposed Cousins' flaw in not being able to defend the pick-and-roll.

After thinking about it, Lu Yong waved his hand and decided to use this dead ball opportunity to rotate the lineup in order to change the situation on the court.

Following Lu Yong's order, the Nets made large-scale substitutions.

The players stood up from the bench and walked to the court, preparing to replace their teammates on the field.

This deployment of troops has given the Nets a completely new lineup.

Players on the court include Rose, LeVert, Durant, Martin and Robinson.

The offensive and defensive capabilities of this lineup are more balanced, especially the addition of Robinson to strengthen the defensive strength inside.

Robinson is tall and long-armed and has outstanding defensive ability. His appearance on the court is undoubtedly to better restrict the Bucks' star Antetokounmpo.

In the recent game, Antetokounmpo broke through very hard against Porzingis' defense, which put the Nets under tremendous pressure.

Therefore, Lu Yong decided to send Robinson, hoping to use his defensive ability to stop Antetokounmpo's offense. (End of chapter)
