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

The Bucks attacked, and Hill used the screen to rush to the basket but was blocked by Rose.

In desperation, George Hill could only pass the ball to the star star Antetokounmpo.

It's a pity that Antetokounmpo is no longer sober at the moment, and he is completely out of his previous state when facing Claxton. He found that although Claxton's body is not as strong as Mitchell Robinson, his lateral speed and explosive power are equally excellent, and his protection of the basket is no weaker than Robinson's.

Claxton's defensive sense is even better than Robinson's.

Sure enough, none of the people who could be selected by Lu Yong were rookies.

Claxton completely changed Antetokounmpo's impression of him through just two rounds of defense. Holding the ball and rushing to the basket without any advantage, Antetokounmpo passed the ball to Ilyasova who was ambushing at 45 degrees on the right side.

As a space-based insider, what Turkish Battery is best at is catching and shooting. This season, he shot 37.1% from three-pointers from the outside. After catching the ball, he slightly adjusted his movements and hit the three-pointer firmly in the center of the basket, helping the Bucks stop the bleeding.

At this time, there is more than one minute left in the first quarter of the game.

Rose calmly dribbled the ball through half the court and handed the ball to Oubre who came out from the wing.

Facing Ilyasova, Oubre decisively chose to play singles with the ball.

Ilyasova's shooting ability may be good, but at the cost, his defense is very poor. Regardless of explosive power, movement speed or physical talent, they are no match for Oubre.

Therefore, when Ubre held the ball and rushed towards the basket, he passed Ilyasova cleanly in just one step. Moreover, with such a fast breakthrough, Ilyasova didn't even have time to grab someone, and could only chase anxiously from behind.

Antetokounmpo on the weak side wanted to help defend, but it was too late.

As soon as he pounced, Oubre had already rushed to the basket and hit the board with a throw from the defense.

"Shh!"

Oubre looked relaxed after scoring.

Oubre used to wear contact lenses and do styling even when playing ball. He was a complete narcissist. Although Oubre now focuses more on the basketball court and does not care about personal image as much as he did when he was young, acting cool has always been his favorite.

The Nets made it all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals, and the outside ratings were astonishingly high. Oubre really wants to express himself in this series, and strive to let more fans know him, like him, and start paying attention to him.

Especially yesterday, Lu Yong approached Oubre alone before the game and told him that if he encounters Bucks player Ilyasova on the court, he should attack decisively and don't be afraid to strike, as his teammates will support him.

Lu Yong knows very well what Ilyasova's defensive level is, and Ubre also listens to Lu Yong's words very much.

Therefore, when he saw Ilyasova defending him, Ubre didn't even hesitate and was full of confidence.

The Bucks attacked, and Antetokounmpo, who forced himself to adjust his mentality, once again came to the left to catch the ball in the low post, trying to single out Claxton.

It is worth mentioning that after Antetokounmpo caught the ball this time, his eyes were obviously different, showing seriousness and even a trace of murderous intent.

Obviously, Antetokounmpo felt very embarrassed after being defended by several young insiders like the Nets. After all, he is an MVP-level player.

If it weren't for Durant's record advantage, the two would compete for the regular season MVP based solely on data, and it's not certain who is stronger.

The lack of shooting ability is indeed an irreparable flaw of Antetokounmpo, and he is also easily targeted by opponents in the playoffs. But this doesn't mean that Antetokounmpo can't do whatever he wants in the paint when he gets serious.

Obviously, Claxton's tough defense in these rounds has completely annoyed Antetokounmpo. He decided to teach the young man opposite him a lesson at all costs and let the Nets fans at the scene know that he was a star on the same level as Durant.

"boom!"

"boom!"

After leaning back hard twice, Antetokounmpo suddenly turned his back and went towards the basket.

Claxton shrank back almost subconsciously. Everyone knows that Antetokounmpo is best at turning around for layups after playing behind the back, crushing opponents through his physical conditions.

However, this time Antetokounmpo obviously played a bit complicated.

Just when Clarks stepped back and was about to jump up and give him a block, Antetokounmpo turned around and suddenly took another half step back. At the same time, he slightly raised his left leg and used a move that was usually very common. A little-used turn-up jump shot.

Antetokounmpo's shooting touch certainly does not allow him to kill the game with a turn-over jump shot, but Antetokounmpo still has this ability when he is so close to the basket.

Knowing that he had been fooled, Claxton took off with all his strength and tried to complete the second block. However, Antetokounmpo's physical condition was too good. Once his height and wingspan gave his opponent a little space, it would be almost impossible to block him again. build.

"Shh!"

As the sound of the basketball hitting the net sounded, Antetokounmpo finally responded on Claxton's head and scored two points with a turn-over jump shot that he was not very good at.

At this time, there are 1 seconds left in the first quarter.

Rose made a gesture after serving from the baseline, and other Nets players quickly rushed towards the Bucks half.

Obviously, Rose planned to use a tactic in this round, trying to complete the attack in the fastest time, so that the Nets could still get the chance to make the final attack.

I saw Hill standing near the center circle, lowering his body weight, staring at Rose, ready for action. Rose did not stick to the ball. After taking a step forward, he immediately passed the ball to Dun Luo, who was 45 degrees to the left.

After receiving the ball, Dun Luo made a fake move, shook the defensive player, and broke through inside. Until Antetokounmpo stepped forward to help defend, he transferred the ball to LeVert, who used the screen to cut to the basket.

LeVert spent almost no effort to get space to shoot, and hit a mid-range pull-up jumper.

"Beautiful! The Nets' offense was very smooth this time. The players all knew what they should do. Everyone had a clear division of labor and completed a wonderful team offense."

"LeVert's performance in this quarter is really outstanding. Counting those two defensive counterattacks, he has scored 6 points and also caused a lot of trouble for the Bucks on the defensive end. His performance in the Eastern Conference Finals tonight On the stage, more fans can see how powerful he is," Yang Yi explained in a timely manner. "Yes, and what I have to say is that the Bucks' defense is so bad that it is too easy for the Nets to score. If this continues, let alone the Bucks' offensive efficiency itself is not as good as the Nets, even if the Bucks If we play the same offense as the Nets in the next few rounds, it may be difficult to win," Wang Meng said.

The Bucks attacked. Antetokounmpo still held the ball in this round and beat Clarkston in singles, but he was flanked when he broke through to the three-second zone.

Antetokounmpo, who was double-teamed, did not panic and transferred the ball to DiVincenzo on the other side in a wide range.

DiVincenzo faced an open opportunity and planned to prove himself.

He had been blocked twice by the Nets before. Although head coach Budenholzer did not take him off the court immediately, the expression on his face was obviously not good-looking. Everyone thinks that DiVincenzo's style of play is very mature, and he doesn't look like a rookie at all, but in fact, DiVincenzo is only a second-year rookie.

Being beaten to death by the Nets, it's impossible not to want to prove yourself.

He received Antetokounmpo's breakthrough pass, glanced outside the three-point line, did not step on the line, faced the defense and hit a three-pointer.

"Shh!"

DiVincenzo shot the ball very hard and used a three-pointer before the end of the first quarter to help the Bucks narrow the score.

DiVincenzo was also very excited after scoring, and even showed off his biceps in the direction of the Nets bench.

Nets head coach Lu Yong sat on the sidelines with his legs crossed. Seeing that DiVincenzo was not angry at his provocation, he even couldn't help but laugh a little.

A true strong man never shows off his power in front of his opponents. DiVincenzo dared to show off in front of the Nets after hitting a three-pointer. This just shows that his mentality has collapsed and he can only use this small method to find a sense of presence. .

In the next round, Rose dribbled the ball across half court and started a pick-and-roll with Claxton in the middle.

Antetokounmpo took long strides to delay the pick-and-roll, blocking the offensive lines of Rose and Claxton at the same time.

The experienced Rose did not choose to play hard or shoot far away from the basket. Instead, he accurately passed the ball to Oubre at a 45-degree angle on the left.

Oubre glanced up, there was still plenty of time, and he was quietly waiting for the attack time to pass outside the three-point line. In front of him, Ilyasova had already lowered his body weight, opened his arms, and the expression on his face Looks a little serious.

When the number on the timer turned to 5 seconds, Oubre finally started to start. He first dribbled continuously under the crotch to adjust the rhythm, then handed the ball to his left hand, and suddenly walked to the left to break through at full speed.

Ilyasova was prepared in advance and defended very seriously, so he did not lose his defensive position this time. He stepped back sideways, intending to stick to Oublay with his body.

However, at the next moment, Oubre, who was breaking through from the left, suddenly gave the ball from in front of him to his right hand, making a huge change in direction in front of his body. Ilyasova was completely unable to keep up this time. With his lateral speed and explosive power, even if he patted the horse, he couldn't keep up, and his center of gravity was completely shifted to one side.

The change of direction was successful, and Oubre immediately accelerated towards the Bucks penalty area. Seeing that the middle was lost, Antetokounmpo could only choose to shrink to the basket.

But at this moment, Claxton suddenly raised his hand and pointed to the sky. Oubre, who was holding the ball and breaking through, saw this scene with a clear understanding. The moment Antetokounmpo came up to help defend, he threw the ball high into the sky.

It was hard to tell the difference between Oubre's pass and the throw. Just when Antetokounmpo thought it was a throw, he saw Claxton behind him leap high, catch the pass with both hands in the air, and face the basket. The basket then hit hard.

"boom!"

The ball went in and the light came on. This was a buzzer-beating dunk against time!
After the first quarter, the Nets led the Bucks by 36 points, 21:15.

Lu Yong had a relaxed expression on the coach's bench. From time to time he picked up the coffee next to him and took a sip. He even had the time to chat with the fans sitting in the front row. He was talking and laughing. Bucks coach Budden looked angry. Holzer's body was shaking;

They are both coaches who led their teams to the Eastern Conference Finals, so why is there such a big gap?
So far in the game, Lu Yong has controlled everything on the court.

He repeatedly emphasized in training yesterday that as long as the defense limits Antetokounmpo and cannot drive the entire team's offense, as well as unreasonable bulldozing offensive inside, then the Bucks' threat will be greatly reduced.

These two points were fully reflected in today's game. Whether it was Mitchell Robinson or Claxton, they restricted Antetokounmpo perfectly in the first quarter. Even Lu Yong, who has always been picky, felt that it was impossible. Can be picky.

For this reason, the two of them took zero shots on the offensive end and focused all their energy on the defensive end.

When all the coaches in the league disliked this kind of defensive blue-collar, Lu Yong, who took the initiative to start a craze for small ball, secretly hoarded two top insiders just to deal with the strong rise of Antetokounmpo and Anthony Davis in recent years. A monster.

If other coaches in the league knew what Lu Yong was thinking, they would definitely point their fingers at Lu Yong and scold him harshly: "Beast!"

...............

As the buzzer sounded at the end of the first quarter, the Nets led the Bucks by an astonishing 15 points. This showdown between the Eastern Conference's powerful players showed a one-sided situation from the very beginning.

Commentators Yang Yi and Wang Meng made in-depth comments on the situation and player performance of the game in the live broadcast room.

Yang Yi spoke first: "In this game, the Nets started very smoothly. Their offense was smooth and their defense was also very targeted. We can see that the Bucks' offense was weak in the face of the Nets' tough defense. It's a bit inadequate, especially their core player Giannis Antetokounmpo, whose performance was not as good as before under the Nets' heavy focus tonight."

Wang Meng took over: "It is true. The Nets' defensive strategy is very clear. They focus on man-marking Antetokounmpo. It is difficult for Antetokounmpo to get easy scoring opportunities in the interior tonight, and his passing route is also blocked by the basket." The net was effectively cut off. This defensive strategy put the Bucks' offense in trouble."

Yang Yi added: "In addition to their outstanding performance on the defensive end, the Nets are also playing well on the offensive end. Their players cooperate with each other tacitly and constantly create open shooting opportunities through passing and running. Especially Their outside shooting percentage was very high tonight, which is also an important reason why they can take a big lead.”

Wang Meng nodded in agreement: "Yes, the Nets' three-point shooting rate tonight is indeed very high, which is also the key to them opening the score. The Bucks' performance in this regard is relatively poor. Their three-point shooting The shooting rate is not high and there are many mistakes. In a fast-paced game, such mistakes are very fatal.”

Yang Yi continued: "Speaking of turnovers, we have to mention that the Bucks did not do a good enough job in controlling turnovers. Especially when facing the Nets' high-intensity defense, their players seemed a little flustered, passing and receiving. There were a lot of problems with the ball. Under such circumstances, it was very difficult to catch up with the score.”

Wang Meng sighed: "Indeed, judging from the start of this game, the Nets are obviously the more well-prepared team. Their defensive strategy is very successful, limiting the performance of the Bucks' main scoring points. On the other hand, the Bucks The team seemed a little helpless when facing the Nets’ defense.”

Yang Yi further analyzed: "Actually, judging from the comparison of the lineup and strength of the two teams, the outcome of this game is not without suspense. But the key is who can execute the tactics better and who can seize the opportunity better. From Judging from the current situation, the Nets are undoubtedly doing better. They have created huge pressure on the Bucks on the defensive end, and they have also shown efficient scoring capabilities on the offensive end.”

Wang Meng added: "In addition to the performance of the players, the coach's tactical arrangement is also very critical. Judging from this game, coach Lu Yong obviously made full preparations tactically, and they successfully limited the Bucks' performance. . And Bucks coach Budenholzer needs to make some adjustments in the second half, otherwise the game may lose suspense early." (End of Chapter)
