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

The fans' cheers rose and fell, accompanied by the sound of the basketball hitting the floor, forming a thrilling basketball symphony.

The game has entered a white-hot stage, with the scores of both sides being closely tied.

The Lakers' main players fought hard on the court, and every round was full of gunpowder.

In this fierce competition, a tall figure was particularly eye-catching - he was Cousins.

Cousins ​​not only has an outstanding performance on the offensive end, but also shows amazing personal ability on the defensive end.

His defensive range is extremely wide, covering almost the entire paint area, making opponents feel more pressure when attacking in the interior.

In a crucial defensive round, James used a screen to force his way to the basket. Facing Cousins' tight defense, he did not choose to force his way forward. Instead, he cleverly passed the ball to Kuzma who was following up from behind at an extremely tricky angle.

This pass not only reflects James' basketball IQ, but also shows his calm judgment in tense situations.

After Kuzma received the ball, he raised his hand and made a fake move, trying to shake off the defender.

However, Cousins ​​followed closely and did not give Kuzma any easy scoring opportunities.

When Kuzma forced a layup, Cousins ​​blocked the ball with his excellent jumping ability and accurate prediction.

"boom!"

At this moment, the entire stadium seemed to be quiet, with only the whistling sound of the basketball being hit echoing in the ears.

Cousins' defensive performance undoubtedly brought a huge shock to the Lakers' offense.

After landing, Cousins ​​quickly grabbed the ball, his eyes revealing his desire for victory.

Without any hesitation, he passed the ball accurately to Rose who was running down the frontcourt.

After receiving the ball, Rose quickly advanced, rushing to the free throw line in the Lakers' half like a cheetah, attracting double-teaming from the opponent.

At this critical moment, Rose noticed Cousins ​​following up from the corner of his eye, and he passed the ball directly to Cousins.

The pass at this moment seemed to have penetrated through many lines of defense and delivered the hope of victory to Cousins.

Cousins ​​received the ball outside the three-point line, took a deep breath, and shot a three-pointer from the top of the arc.

The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air, and then went into the net with a swish.

At this moment, the entire stadium was boiling and the cheers of the fans were deafening.

After scoring the goal, Cousins ​​punched the air hard, venting all the negative emotions accumulated in the game.

His body was still a little heavy from the flu, his head was fuzzy, and he was clearly not in the best condition.

But he is now in much better shape than when the game started.

For Cousins, this game is undoubtedly a contest with both challenges and opportunities.

Not only did Cousins ​​show strong personal ability on the defensive end, but he also contributed key three-pointers to the team on the offensive end.

His performance showed his versatility as an inside player and his excellent basketball IQ.

From James' clever pass to Kuzma's forced layup, to Cousins' head-on block and key three-pointer, every detail was full of excitement and uncertainty.

In the domestic studio, the atmosphere in the commentary booth was extremely lively.

Yang Yi and Wang Meng were staring at the field intently, their emotions fluctuating with the rhythm of the game.

Just now, Cousins ​​blocked Kuzma's shot on the defensive end, and then received a pass from Rose and hit a three-pointer in a fast break counterattack. This series of wonderful performances made the two commentators excited.

"Wow! Cousins' block was so brutal!" Yang Yi shouted first, his voice full of excitement and admiration.

As a veteran commentator, he has witnessed countless wonderful moments of the game, but Cousins' performance this time still shocked him.

Wang Meng also did not hesitate to praise him: "Indeed, Cousins ​​is like an insurmountable mountain on the defensive end, which makes opponents daunted. His blocking ability is really outstanding. He can accurately judge the opponent's offensive intentions every time and give a fatal blow."

As Cousins ​​hit a three-pointer in a fast break counterattack, the atmosphere in the commentary booth reached a climax.

Yang Yi waved his arms excitedly and shouted, "Cousins ​​scored again! This time it was a three-pointer! Not only did he perform well on the defensive end, but he was also able to pull out of the three-point line and make long-range strikes on the offensive end. Such an all-around performance is amazing!"

Wang Meng also sighed: "Yes, Cousins' versatility is indeed amazing. Not only can he dominate the inside, but he can also shoot three-pointers from the outside. This ability is indeed unique among all the Nets' centers."

The two commentators became more and more excited as they spoke, and their words were full of praise and admiration for Cousins.

Yang Yi continued: "No wonder Lu Yong thinks so highly of Cousins. His performance is indeed worthy of all trust and expectations. Whether on the defensive end or the offensive end, he can bring great help to the team."

Wang Meng nodded in agreement, "That's right. Cousins' presence has greatly increased the strength of the Nets. His leadership and comprehensive skills make him an indispensable core player for the team. His performance in this game undoubtedly proved his value once again."

………………

Far across the ocean, the Chinese night is boiling with excitement because of a basketball game.

Countless fans gathered in the live broadcast room, staring at the screen, afraid of missing any exciting moment.

And tonight, Cousins' amazing performance undoubtedly became the focus of their heated discussion.

When Cousins ​​blocked Kuzma's shot on defense, the live broadcast room exploded instantly.

"Wow! Kao's defense is so strong!"

"This is our God of Examination, the God of Flu War, who is invincible!"

The fans were enthusiastic and comments flooded in, each one full of praise for Cousins.

They seemed to see the giant who built an iron wall in the interior. No matter how the opponents attacked, it was difficult to overcome his defensive mountain.

Immediately afterwards, in a fast break counterattack, Cousins ​​received a pass from Rose and hit a steady three-pointer.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the live broadcast room reached its peak.

"Three points! Kao Shen can still shoot three points!"

"Too comprehensive, the God of Test can not only defend, but also attack!"

"This three-pointer is so crucial. Cousins ​​is back to his peak in Brooklyn!"

The fans' excitement was beyond words. They cheered for Cousins' all-round performance, as if they were there themselves, feeling the tension and excitement.

In the live broadcast room, not only old fans praised Cousins' superb skills, but new fans were also deeply attracted by his performance and expressed their desire to become his fans.

"I didn't watch much basketball before, but after watching Kawhi's performance today, I was completely conquered!"

"Kao Shen is so awesome. From now on I will be his fan!"

As the game progressed, the Nets' performance became more and more outstanding, and the popularity of the live broadcast room also increased.

Fans not only expressed their love and support for the Nets in the comments, but also had a heated discussion in the comment section. "Did you notice? The Nets were in great shape in this game, and they seemed to be at ease both on defense and offense."

"Yeah, it feels like the entire Nets team is very excited today, and they are very confident every time they take a shot."

"I think this has something to do with coach Lu Yong's tactical arrangement, which gives the players more room to play."

………………

Back to the court.

Davis on the sidelines revealed anxiety between his brows.

He was eager to play and compete with Cousins, but the dead ball opportunity in the game was slow to come, and he could only wander anxiously on the sidelines.

Whenever he sees Cousins' strong strength on the court, his heart is filled with fighting spirit.

At this time, the game on the field was in a white-hot stage.

Both sides come and go, refusing to give in to each other.

However, in the next round, everything changed.

Wall dribbled the ball across half court, looking firmly at the basket, as if he had already locked onto his target.

He signaled to McGee for a pick-and-roll, and McGee stood in the right position tacitly.

Wall took advantage of this pick-and-roll and decisively chose to break through to the left and rush straight to the basket.

The Nets players reacted immediately and double-teamed him.

However, Wall did not panic. He stopped suddenly at the mid-range position and cleverly created distance between himself and the defender.

Immediately afterwards, Wall jumped and shot. The two-point ball drew a beautiful arc in the air and fell steadily into the basket.

"Shh!"

This goal not only broke the deadlock on the field, but also made Davis excited watching on the sidelines.

He clenched his fists and secretly cheered for Wall in his heart.

Sure enough, in the next Nets offensive round, the plot took another turn.

Rose's intention to pass the ball to Cousins ​​was too obvious, and the sharp-eyed Wall seized the opportunity.

Wall quickly reached out to steal the ball, his speed was astonishing.

From stealing the ball to accelerating to sprinting, Wall is incredibly fast.

Even Rose, who is known for his speed, couldn't catch up with him and could only watch Wall make a counterattack layup.

At this moment, the entire stadium seemed to be quiet, with only the sound of the basketball entering the net echoing in the ears.

Wall's series of actions not only broke the balance on the court, but also made Lakers fans crazy.

Davis was stunned watching on the sidelines. He didn't expect that Wall could perform so well at the critical moment.

Cousins ​​on the court looked annoyed, obviously not expecting Wall to steal the ball and score so quickly.

The rhythm of the game has been completely disrupted, and every subsequent round is full of uncertainty.

Lu Yong stood on the sidelines with a frown on his face, staring deeply at the court.

The two defensive mistakes just now obviously made him unhappy.

He knew clearly that the team's performance was not good enough, whether in terms of defensive tacit understanding in positional warfare or aggressiveness in defending counterattacks.

If they don't adjust in time, the Lakers may take advantage of the opportunity to widen the score further.

In order to avoid this situation, Lu Yong decisively called a timeout.

The players walked to the sidelines, formed a circle, and waited for the head coach's tactical arrangements.

Lu Yong stood in the circle, looked around at his teammates, and then slowly said: "There were obvious problems with our defense just now. Whether it is the tacit cooperation in positional warfare or the active response when defending against counterattacks, we have a lot of room for improvement."

He paused and continued, "Remember, defense is not only a reflection of personal ability, but also the result of teamwork. We need to strengthen communication, predict the opponent's actions in advance, and be targeted."

At this point, Lu Yong's eyes became firm: "Next, we have to rearrange our defensive tactics. First, in positional warfare, we must pay more attention to position rotation and replacement, and ensure that there are players in each position to defend in time. Secondly, when defending against counterattacks, we must be more vigilant, return to defense quickly, and not give the opponent any opportunity to take advantage."

The players listened to Lu Yong's explanation attentively and nodded from time to time to show their understanding.

They know that the tactical adjustments after this timeout will be directly related to the course of the subsequent game.

Lu Yong took a deep breath and continued: "In addition, I want to emphasize that the attitude and enthusiasm when defending are crucial. We need to try our best in every defense and leave no regrets."

After saying this, Lu Yong glanced at the assistant coach Atkinson beside him and motioned him to add a few words.

Atkinson nodded and took over the conversation: "Coach Lu is right. We really need to be more attentive and focused on the defensive end. I hope everyone can remember the tactical arrangements of this timeout and play our best in the next game."

He paused and added: "Remember, every game is a test of our team spirit. Only when everyone works together can we achieve better results."

The players nodded in agreement, knowing that this timeout was not only to adjust tactics, but also to stimulate their fighting spirit and team spirit.

At the end of the timeout, the players prepared to return to the court with determination in their eyes.

Lu Yong and Atkinson on the sidelines smiled at each other and were full of confidence in their team.

………………

After Nets head coach Lu Yong called a rare timeout, the atmosphere in the TNT studio was unusually relaxed.

The two ace commentators, Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith, looked at Lu Yong on the screen with playful smiles on their faces.

"Look who called the timeout?" Charles spoke first, his tone a little teasing, "Isn't this our usually calm Coach Lu? The head coach who called the fewest timeouts in the playoffs this year actually frowned today."

Kenny took over the conversation and said with a smile: "It is indeed rare. Coach Lu usually lets the players adjust themselves on the court. This time it seems that he is really dissatisfied with the team's performance in the past two rounds."

Charles nodded and continued to analyze: "Yes, judging from the game just now, the Nets' defense did have problems. They lacked tacit understanding in positional warfare, and their defense against counterattacks also seemed a bit lax. Coach Lue was undoubtedly very wise to call a timeout at this time."

Kenny also agreed: "Yes, it is very important to adjust tactics and player status in time. Although calling a timeout will interrupt the rhythm of the game, if the team can get back to its form through this timeout, it is undoubtedly worth it."

Charles added: "Moreover, this also shows Coach Lu's serious attitude towards the game. Even if he is the head coach who calls the least timeouts in the playoffs, he will take decisive shots at critical moments. This is true professionalism."

The conversation between the two not only made fun of Lu Yong's rare timeout, but also conducted an in-depth analysis of the game.

His words revealed his deep understanding of basketball games and his appreciation for the head coach's decision. (End of this chapter)
