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

Barkley looked at the situation on the court with a sharp light in his eyes, and he said in a loud voice: "Lu Yong's team obviously made adjustments after the timeout, and we can see that their defense has become tighter. The cooperation between the players is also more tacit, which is undoubtedly the result of Lu Yong’s careful arrangements.”

Kenny Smith added: "Yes, coach Lu Yong made very timely adjustments. He knows that at critical moments in the game, defense is the key to victory. Now, the Nets are trying their best to block the opponent's offense and not give the opponent anything. An opportunity to take advantage of.”

"Brunson's fast break counterattack was very beautiful this time. He is more passionate than before!"

Barkley couldn't help but admire: "Coach Lu is really a stroke of genius! His adjustments have given the team new vitality, and the performance on the defensive end is simply amazing. It seems that the outcome of this game has become increasingly clear."

Kenny Smith also nodded and agreed: "It is true. Coach Lu's coaching ability is really admirable. Not only can he inspire the potential of players on the offensive end, but he can also make precise adjustments on the defensive end. Such a coach is really a good player." The team’s lucky star!”

While the two were talking, Heat coach Spoelstra couldn't sit still and quickly stood up and asked for a timeout!
During the timeout, Spoelstra walked up to the players, with piercing eyes, and criticized sternly: "Look at you now, like a bunch of headless flies! The Nets played so fiercely, but you have no power to fight back. You guys. Have you forgotten the hard work we put in training and the hard work we put in to win?”

The players were shocked by Coach Spoelstra's harsh criticism, lowered their heads, and silently endured the pressure.

Coach Spoelstra looked at them and couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment in his heart.

But he knows now is not the time to give up and he must get his players back on their feet.

So, he took a deep breath, adjusted his tone, and began to encourage the players.

"I know you all work hard, but the basketball game is not only a competition of skills and tactics, but also a contest of mentality and will. Now, the Nets have given us a blow, but this does not mean that we give up. We want to Believe in ourselves and our team. As long as we work together and work hard, we will be able to reverse the situation! ”

Coach Spoelstra's words are like a stream of clear water, nourishing the dry hearts of the players.

Everyone raised their heads. Now was the time to test their will and perseverance. They could not retreat, let alone give up.

Nunn bravely raised his head and asked: "Coach, how do you defend the Nets' pick-and-roll? Their attacking points are too scattered, and it's difficult for everyone to defend them well."

"Leonard, please come down and take a rest first." Spoelstra did not answer Nunn's question, but replaced Leonard.

Leonard nodded, knowing full well that his slow movement would only become a flaw when defending pick-and-rolls, and he would be targeted crazily by the Nets.

This substitution was made to better defend against pick-and-rolls, and Spoelstra gave Nunn an answer with action.

The big center can't defend, so we might as well play a small lineup to improve mobility.

This decision is wise. Although it may not necessarily work, the Heat's efficiency in defending pick-and-rolls will definitely become better when playing with a small lineup.

Of course, such adjustments also come with risks.

Without Leonard, it will be easier for the solid Cousins ​​​​to show off his power at the basket. When the time comes, Adebayor alone will not be able to stop the impact of him and Porzingis.

At the same time, fans far away from home also witnessed all this through the live broadcast room.

They gathered on the Internet to discuss the direction of this game.

"The Heat are in bad shape. The point difference has been pulled to double digits!" a fan lamented in the live broadcast room.

His voice immediately attracted the attention of others, who all joined in the discussion.

"Yeah, the Nets played too hard today, and the Heat are no match for them at all." Another fan echoed. There was a hint of helplessness and disappointment in his tone, and he seemed to be very dissatisfied with the Heat's performance.

"Coach Spoelstra was beaten by Lu Yong again this time. His tactics seemed to be of no use to the Nets."

"The Heat's defense today was a joke. The Nets scored too easily."

"It seems that the Heat are going to lose miserably today. We still look forward to the next round of the series."

Just as the fans were talking about it, the scene in the live broadcast room switched to the Heat's bench.

Coach Spoelstra is nervously arranging tactics, his eyes showing firmness and determination. Although the situation was unfavorable, he did not give up, but worked hard to find opportunities for reversal.

When the fans saw this scene, they couldn't help but praise Coach Spoelstra's tenacity and perseverance.

Perhaps the Heat are indeed not as strong as the Nets, but the Heat's performance in this series does deserve people's respect.

As the timeout ends, play resumes.

On the first attack, Nunn broke through and passed the ball to Crowder in the bottom corner.

But Durant quickly got into position and blocked Crowder.

Crowder couldn't take a direct shot, so he could only hand the ball to the star Butler.

Butler waved to his teammates to open up space, and then began to single out Mitchell.

Mitchell lowered his center of gravity and put his arm on Butler's waist, trying to resist his back blow.

"boom!

"boom!"

Butler pushed hard twice and successfully approached the three-second zone.

Then he suddenly turned to the left at his feet, then turned over and shot a jumper.

Mitchell did not lose his position and took off with all his strength to block the shot.

The basketball flew past his fingertips, and Mitchell was just a little short of blocking the shot.

Fortunately, Butler's shooting rhythm was disturbed and the basketball hit the edge of the basket and missed.

Porzingis picked off the backboard and passed the ball to Durant.

Adu held the ball across half court and reached the top of the arc, while others began to move.

Durant raised his hand for a pick-and-roll.

Porzingis understood it and accelerated towards the outside.

With the help of the pick-and-roll, Durant drastically changed his direction and took a step forward, pulling away from the distance and shooting!
The basketball flew over Butler's head, drawing a beautiful arc.

"Shh!"

Hollow into the network!

18: 6.

The Heat attacked, and this round the Heat finally scored again.

Butler took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing rhythm, and rushed towards the basket like an arrow leaving the string.

His steps were flexible and powerful. Upon seeing this, the Nets players immediately gathered around subconsciously, trying to prevent him from breaking through.

However, Butler cleverly used his physical advantage to make a sudden stop, turned his body slightly to one side, and passed the ball out of the gap.

The pass was quick and precise, as if it had been rehearsed countless times.

Crowder's eyes lit up after receiving the ball. He stood in the bottom corner with no one in front of him.

Crowder adjusted his posture, then jumped up and threw the ball towards the basket.

The basketball drew an arc in the air and accurately passed through the net bag.

"Shh!"

18: 9.

Crowder hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner to help the team break the scoring drought.

Claude clenched his hands into fists after landing, with an excited smile on his face.

Butler watched Crowder hit a three-pointer and felt relieved.

This goal is very important. If it is not scored, the mentality of the Heat players will soon collapse. However, before the Heat could be happy for too long, Brunson poured cold water on the Heat on the offensive end.

He and Cousins ​​played a pick-and-roll in the high post, and the Heat chose to switch defense and let Adebayor defend Brunson.

Seeing an opportunity to play a small game, Brunson raised his hand to signal his teammates to pull away. He wanted to play singles.

When his teammates scattered around, Brunson continued to dribble under his hips to adjust the rhythm, and then made a breakthrough to the left.

Adebayor immediately moved laterally, but Brunson made a small change of direction and pulled back, dribbling the ball back to his right hand, and stepped back to instantly open up the distance.

At this time, Adebayor was dumbfounded, and it was too late to step forward and block the shot.

Brunson made a quick jump shot from outside the three-point line!
"Shh!"

Withdraw three points and shoot through the heart with an arrow!
As soon as the goal was scored, the score reached 21:9, and the game was heading towards garbage time.

Adebayor stood there and shook his head helplessly. He had tried his best to defend just now, but he was still helpless.

Brunson's physical fitness may not be very good, but his skills and shooting are indeed powerful. Even defensive warriors like Adebayor are deceived and even lose their pants.

Nunn stepped forward and patted Adebayor on the back, comforting him: "Don't worry, I will go around if there is a cover next round. Don't switch defenses."

Adebayor nodded and responded: "That's all it can do."

In the commentary box, two well-known commentators, Barkley and Kenny Smith, were also impressed by Brunson's wonderful performance.

Barkley stared at Brunson on the court with wide eyes, a smile of appreciation on his face.

He turned to Kenny Smith and said: "Look at this kid, how smooth and confident his movements are. Step back and shoot, this is Harden's signature move!"

Kenny Smith also nodded in agreement: "Yes, this young man Brunson does have the flavor of a Lu family star. Not only is he technically comprehensive, but he also dares to take responsibility. This time he faced Adebayor's defense, and he did not flinch. Instead, he faced the difficulties and scored for the team with a strong shot. This is the characteristic of Lu star players."

Barkley continued to add: "And if you look at his shooting posture, it is standard and stable. This shows that he has put a lot of effort into his usual training. For such a player, as long as he is given enough opportunities and a stage, he will definitely become a big player. Brilliant.”

Kenny Smith also added: "Brunson is still young and he still has a lot of room for improvement. I believe that in the near future, we will definitely be able to see him show even better performance on the NBA stage. He is expected to Become the next Lu star to shine.”

Barkley echoed: "Yes, Brunson is indeed a rare talent, and his future is full of unlimited possibilities."

The game continues.

This time, Butler chose to post up Mitchell.

He slowly approached the basket, blocking Mitchell's position with his body, while maintaining control of the ball with his skillful dribbling skills. Mitchell stuck closely to Butler's body, trying to use his strength and skills to interfere with Butler's offense.

However, Butler was not affected by Mitchell's defense.

Feeling Mitchell's strength and position with his back and shoulders, he suddenly turned around and raised the ball above his head, preparing for a jump shot.

Upon seeing this, Mitchell immediately jumped up and tried to block Butler's shot. However, Butler's shot was extremely fast and he had already thrown the ball before Mitchell blocked the shot.

The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and then fell steadily into the basket.

21: 11.

The fans at the scene cheered for Butler's wonderful score. Now every point scored by the team is crucial to the Heat.

In the transition from offense to defense, Brunson advanced with the ball again.

Nunn lowered his focus and determined to guard against this one.

But Brunson, who had hit consecutive shots before, was already feeling hot.

Before Porzingis came up to the screen, he suddenly shot a cold arrow one meter away from the three-point line!
The shot was a super long three-pointer!

Nunn, who kept retreating, obviously didn't expect Brunson to shoot now, and he was shocked before he reacted.

By the time he pounced forward, the basketball had already left Brunson's left hand.

I can only watch the basketball go straight through the net bag!

"Shh!"

24: 11.

Super long three-point hit!

Brunson went crazy in this quarter, and the Heat's back line couldn't guard him at all!

Seeing that the team was about to collapse, Heat coach Spoelstra had no choice but to call a timeout again.

"Kendrick, I need you to guard more fiercely. You can't let the guy on the other side take an easy shot anymore!"

"As soon as he passes halftime, you stick to him like chewing gum and don't give him any space to shoot. Do you understand?" Spoelstra warned Nunn.

Nunn nodded seriously and responded: "Understood."

"Tyler, come on after the timeout is over, and then you will be the main attacker."

Spoelstra turned to Hero again and said.

"Listen, guys," Spoelstra's voice was low but full of power, "We are now behind by double digits, but there is still time in the game. Next, we have to change our style of play and let Taylor focus on the offense. . He has the best physical fitness and we need him to play a bigger role."

When Hero heard his name being mentioned, he immediately straightened his chest, his eyes shining with anticipation.

He knows that this is the coaching staff's trust in him and their expectations for him.

He secretly made up his mind to live up to the coach's expectations and contribute his strength to the team.

Spoelstra continued to lay out tactics: "Taylor, you have to run more and use your speed and flexibility to create offensive opportunities. Others should pay attention to screening and passing to create more scoring space for Taylor. Defensive end We must also strengthen our cooperation and not let our opponents score easily.”

The players nodded to express their understanding, knowing that this was a tactic carefully arranged by the coach and the key to narrowing the score.

Pause back.

The Heat attacked and Hiero passed the half court with the ball.

It was Mitchell who defended Hiero. Mitchell lowered his center of gravity and assumed a standard defensive posture.

Hiro dribbled to the right side at a 45-degree angle and began to feint with continuous crotch dribbling.

After several shakes, Hero suddenly accelerated and broke through.

Mitchell was not shaken and stayed close to his opponent all the way.

But his physical fitness is not as good as that of Hiro who just came on the field, so he cannot stop Hiro's progress.

Hiero rushed all the way to the free throw line and suddenly hit Mitchell with his shoulder.

Relying on this force, Hiro stepped back to open up space and made a shooting motion.

Mitchell was hit and his center of gravity shifted backward.

When he saw Hiro shooting, he immediately pounced on him, but at this time it was impossible to block the shot.

"Shh!"

24: 13.

Hiero's goal barely helped the Heat stop the bleeding. (End of chapter)
