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

At the same time, Lu Yong sat on the sidelines and looked at the court with a calm expression.

He is very pleased with the performance of his players so far.

The playing styles of the Nets and Heat are actually similar.

Both teams have talented players, and their playing style is also very team-oriented. They are good at catching opponents' mistakes and launching fast break counterattacks.

It's just that the talent of the Nets players is obviously better, while the Heat can only rely on Butler and Hiero to chase points in singles with the ball. There is a gap in overall strength.

This style of play will speed up the physical consumption of core players.

The Nets will not be able to widen the point difference in a short period of time, but if they continue to play at this pace, the Heat will surely plummet in the second half.

Of course, what really makes Lu Yong satisfied is Brunson's growth.

Under the leadership of Brunson, the Nets not only did not allow the Heat to close the point difference, but also withstood the pressure.

This is what makes Lu Yong most gratified.

The timeout ends and players from both sides return to the court.

"Have the Heat changed back to the starting lineup early? Only a few minutes into the second quarter. It seems that Coach Spoelstra is ready to risk his life."

"The Nets have also made personnel adjustments. Brunson is off the court to rest. Rose, Mitchell, Durant, Oubre, and Claxton. This lineup is still very competitive. It is estimated that the Heat will be difficult to withstand." Wang Meng said.

"Mitchell and Durant came back really early today. It seems that coach Lu Yong also wants to win the game as soon as possible. Next, he will test the Heat's defense." Yang Yi added.

"Yes, let's look forward to what wonderful performances the next two teams will bring us." Wang Meng said with a smile.

The game continues.

Nunn held the ball and dribbled across half court, organizing at the top of the arc.

Herro came out of the screen and caught the ball with the help of Meyers Leonard's screen.

The Nets immediately chose to switch defense very quickly.

Hiero couldn't help but have a headache when he saw that the defender was Ubre again.

Other teams' unlimited defensive changes can create small and big opportunities, but Nets power forward Oubre is no different from a defender, so this pick-and-roll is in vain.

The three threats on the spot tried a wave, but Hiero failed to find a good offensive opportunity, so he returned the ball to Nunn.

Nunn caught the ball and broke through at full speed.

Rose, who was guarding him, immediately lowered his center of gravity to keep up, but age and injuries still caused some trouble for the veteran.

Nunn relied on his youth to accelerate past Rose and rushed towards the Nets penalty area.

Just as Claxton wanted to help defend, Adebayor turned around and blocked his movement route in advance.

Fortunately, Durant returned to defense in time and took off from the side to become the team's last line of defense.

He raised his arms in mid-air and collided hard with Nunn, who was about to dunk.

"boom!"

With the sound of muscles clashing, the two had a physical confrontation in the air.

Adu is considered thin among forwards, but he has the upper hand against Nunn.

Nunn, who took off at full speed, did not take any advantage and lost his balance after the confrontation.

"Snapped!"

With a crisp sound, the basketball in his hand was slapped to the ground by Durant.

This is a clean and wonderful extreme defense!

However, the Heat's offensive round is not over yet.

Butler has quick eyes and quick hands. When he saw the basketball falling, he immediately rushed forward to grab it.

Mitchell took control of the ball first, wiped the basket and stole one for a layup.

63: 53.

The Heat are lucky with these two points, and of course it is also inseparable from Butler's enthusiasm.

Nets offense.

Rose held the ball through half the court and organized at the top of the arc.

Nunn stepped forward to press, hoping to use the young man's quick reaction to cause Rose to make a mistake.

It's a pity that Rose's body is not as good as before, but his skills are very sharp.

The moment Nunn pounced, Rose immediately dribbled the ball behind his back and easily passed him.

Nunn was shocked and quickly turned around to chase after him.

But just when he was about to return to the defensive position, Rose dribbled the ball from his hips again, almost knocking Nunn down.

Then he moved sideways to open up the distance and made a mid-range jump shot.

"Shh!"

The basketball hits the net!

65: 53.

After scoring the goal, Rose looked relaxed, as if he had done something trivial.

"Good shot! Rose handled the ball so calmly. He used technical moves to pass Nunn at the moment he grabbed the ball. He is truly an experienced veteran." Wang Meng shouted.

Yang Yi was also full of praise: "Ross is indeed very experienced in dribbling. Nunn is still too young. If he dares to underestimate Ross, he will definitely pay the price."

On the court, Durant reached out and gave Rose a high-five.

The ball just now was really smooth, and Nunn was almost knocked to the ground. Sure enough, he was still too young!

Heat offense.

After Nunn and Butler played a pick-and-roll, he passed the ball to the latter.

The Nets still chose to switch defense, but this time the person guarding Butler became Rose.

Obviously, the Heat have regarded Rose as a breakthrough, and he is the worst defensive player among the five players on the field.

However, the rest of the Nets reacted quickly. Seeing Butler preparing to break through, Mitchell immediately let go of his own men and rushed to assist Rose.

At the same time, others also rotated quickly, not giving Butler a chance to pass the ball easily.

Butler dribbled back while observing the position of his teammates.

Until he was almost forced to the center line, Nunn suddenly started at a 45-degree angle on the left side and drove straight into the basket from the center.

Butler flicked his wrist and accurately handed the ball to Nunn.

After receiving the ball, Nunn's center goal was wide open and he took off with one foot on the ground, preparing for a layup.

In this scene, even Butler, who sent the wonderful pass, felt stable and prepared to celebrate in advance.

But the next moment, a figure suddenly emerged.

He jumped up high with terrifying speed, slapped the ball onto the backboard, and gave the unlucky Nunn a solid nail-biter!

This person is naturally the frame-protecting King Claxton!
He jumped up with all his strength and ended Nunn's layup with an almost brutal nail-board block!

"boom!"

There was a loud noise, and Nunn was dumbfounded.

Just because Claxton's bullet speed is too fast! !
And this nail board hat with strong visual impact also completely ignited the atmosphere of the fans at the scene!
"oh!!"

"Spiral to the sky! This athletic talent is simply amazing!"

"No takeoffs over Brooklyn!"

"Nunn was really miserable today. When he rushed into the penalty area, he was either blocked by Durant or Claxton. After this game, every ball he was blocked would probably be a highlight!" On the court, Nunn He swallowed quietly, turned his head and glanced at Claxton, feeling a little depressed.

Although the ball was finally knocked out of bounds by Claxton, it was blocked by the Nets one after another. Nunn's mentality was about to collapse.

If it was playing basketball, he would have been crying. 'Give me the ball, I want to go home!' '

The Heat served a sideline ball and Butler tried to single out Mitchell.

This time, Mitchell learned his lesson and continued to impose physical confrontation on the opponent in defense.

Although he did not complete the steal, he affected Butler's offensive rhythm well, causing the latter's mid-range jumper to miss.

Claxton jumped high, grabbed the rebound from Leonard's head, and passed to Rose.

After Rose got the ball, he immediately accelerated and headed towards the Heat half.

Crossing the half court, Rose encountered Nunn's blockage again.

However, Rose didn't panic at all, changing direction without slowing down and completing the pass easily.

Nunn failed to pick up the ball and was passed clean by an older Rose, which was really embarrassing.

Rose passed by and went straight to the basket, and scored a one-handed layup on the fast break.

"Shh!"

67: 53.

Halfway through the second quarter, the Nets led the Heat by 14 points.

Not only that, several of the Heat's main players also began to run out of energy at this time.

As strong as Butler, the efficiency on both offense and defense will inevitably begin to decline.

Several young people with average physical fitness were already showing signs of fatigue.

Seeing this, head coach Spoelstra could only call a timeout again.

Use timeouts to provide players with a break.

It can only be said that he is worthy of being the man who coached LeBron James. Even his methods are the same as those coached by Lu.

The players walked to the sidelines and sat down to rest.

Exhaustion was written on their faces, and sweat soaked their jerseys and clung to their skin.

Butler sat at the front with his hands on his knees, his head lowered and breathing heavily. His eyes were a little blurry, and he had obviously exhausted most of his energy.

Spoelstra walked up to Butler, knelt down and asked with concern: "Jimmy, how are you? Can you continue playing?"

Butler raised his head and smiled bitterly: "Coach, I tried my best. But this game is too difficult for us, and the opponent is too strong."

Spoelstra patted Butler's shoulder lightly: "I know you have worked very hard, and this game is a huge challenge for you. But now we need your strength, and the team needs you to stand up." Get through this.”

Butler took a deep breath and tried to calm his breathing: "Coach, I will try my best. But my physical fitness is close to the limit, and I don't know how long I can last."

Spoelstra sighed helplessly: "I understand how you feel. This game is difficult for everyone. But we have no retreat now, we can only grit our teeth and persevere. You are our leader, the team You need to stand up.”

Butler nodded: "I understand, and I will do my best to win for the team."

Spoelstra nodded with satisfaction, then turned toward the other players.

He walked up to each player, whispered to them how they were doing, and offered encouragement and support.

He told the players to believe in themselves and the power of the team. As long as everyone works together, they will be able to overcome difficulties.

When the players listened to Spoelstra's words, the fatigue on their faces did not dissipate at all. How easy is it to cheer up again?
After the timeout, the Heat attack.

Adebayor mentioned the high post support. He tried to use his height advantage to find the Nets' defensive flaws.

However, the Nets' interior defense was rock solid, and Claxton built an insurmountable barrier.

Adebayor tried several times to pass the ball to open teammates, but he was destroyed in time by the Nets' rotation.

"The Heat need to find a way to break the Nets' defense." Commentator Wang Meng reminded, "Otherwise, it will be difficult for them to win this game."

Butler received a pass from Adebayor near the baseline. Facing Mitchell's defense, he made a feint and suddenly accelerated to break through.

Mitchell stayed close to the defense and did not give Butler a chance to score easily.

Butler broke through to the basket, stood up and shot a jump shot, and the basketball drew a high arc in the air.

"Bang!" The basketball hit the rim hard and popped out. The Nets' defense once again made the Heat's offense futile.

"Good defense!" commentator Yang Yi shouted loudly, "Mitchell's close defense made Butler's shot lose sight. The Nets' defense is really outstanding!"

Under the basket, Claxton grabbed the rebound and he quickly passed the ball to Rose.

After Rose received the ball, he advanced toward the Heat half.

Nunn stepped forward to press, but Rose easily passed Nunn's defense with his flexible dribbling and change of direction.

"Too fast!" Nunn was secretly shocked. He didn't expect Rose's speed and skills to be so good, and he was once again tricked by the veteran.

Rose broke through Nunn and went straight to the basket. He was not afraid of the Heat's interior defense. He made a pull-up jumper and the basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and hit the net.

"Pretty!"

The fans at the scene burst into exclamations and cheered for Rose's outstanding performance.

Rose not only conquered his opponents with his strength, but also conquered the fans at the scene.

"Rose is in great shape today!" Commentator Yang Yi exclaimed, "His breakthroughs and shooting made it difficult for the Heat to defend and were the key to leading in the second quarter."

The Heat attacked again, and Butler passed the ball to his teammates, trying to find a breakthrough through teamwork.

However, the Nets' defense was airtight. They changed positions and always maintained their suppression of the Heat.

Under the defense of the Nets, Heat players' shots were frequently hit, and the offense reached a deadlock.

"The Heat need to find a way to break the Nets' defense." Commentator Wang Meng reminded, "Otherwise, it will be difficult for them to win this game."

The game continued, and the Heat players seemed a little impatient and helpless on the court.

They made mistakes one after another, and the Nets seized the opportunity to counterattack.

Rose and Durant continue to play an important role on the offensive end, not only able to score themselves, but also create good scoring opportunities for their teammates.

In the following time, the Nets generals worked hard to achieve the best strength in the league on both offense and defense.

In the second half, even Cousins, who was sluggish in the first quarter, stood up.

First, he screened Brunson at the top of the arc, received the pass and dunked easily.

Later, Cousins ​​​​beat Adebayor in the low post.

Taking advantage of his tonnage advantage, Cousins ​​made a layup after a confrontation and scored two more points over Adebayor.

A minute later, he drew double-teams and passed the ball to Durant, who was in the open.

The unmarked Adu decisively shot a three-pointer, his style remains the same!

"Shh!"

Hollow into the network!

While the Nets were playing well on the offensive end, they also delivered a dominant performance on the defensive end.

First it was Clarkston's frame protection in the first half, and then Adu's assist defense in the second half. The Heat were made very uncomfortable and could only give the ball to Butler for singles.

As the Heat's main players are exhausted, it becomes increasingly difficult for them to break through the Nets' defense.
The shooting percentage also began to decline, and they didn't score a point in the last two minutes.

The point difference between the two teams was further widened.

At the end of the second quarter, the score reached 81:60.

The Nets already lead by 21 points! ! (End of chapter)
