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

The moment we came back from the timeout, the atmosphere in the entire arena changed.

Wall was moving around on the sidelines, his eyes flashing with calm and determination.

Head coach Vogel's trust in him is not groundless. This experienced point guard has unique speed and explosiveness.

The game resumed and the fans' cheers continued, but in the midst of the noise, Wall seemed exceptionally calm.

He held the basketball tightly, his eyes sharp, as if he wanted to engrave every inch of the court into his mind.

The Nets' defense was impenetrable, but Wall was like a fish, moving freely among the crowd.

He was like a flash of lightning, suddenly starting and breaking through the Nets' defense at an astonishing speed.

Robinson reacted quickly and tried to block Wall's offensive route with his body, but Wall used his keen intuition and agility to skillfully adjust his posture in the air.

He jumped high, faced Robinson's help defense, and made a layup. The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air and fell steadily into the basket.

"Swish!" The sound of the basketball passing through the net was crisp and pleasant, and thunderous applause and cheers broke out from the audience.

The Lakers' morale was completely ignited at this moment, and Wall's score undoubtedly gave the Lakers a shot in the arm.

Just 25 seconds later, Wall once again demonstrated his bravery.

He keenly observed the position of his teammate Davis, and with a precise pick-and-roll, he successfully broke away from Brunson's defense.

One step inside the free throw line, Wall made a slight adjustment and then jumped to shoot.

The basketball hit the basket accurately like a guided missile.

"Shh!"

In two consecutive rounds, Wall scored four points. This performance not only made the Lakers fans cheer wildly, but also made the Nets players feel unprecedented pressure.

Thanks to Wall's outstanding performance, the Lakers successfully narrowed the score gap, and the suspense of the game was ignited again.

Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith in the commentary booth were watching every move on the court.

They witnessed Wall's amazing performance, and at this moment they felt the same as all the spectators, full of excitement and anticipation.

When Wall tore through the Nets' defense at an astonishing speed and scored a layup, Barkley slammed the table and shouted excitedly: "Look at this speed! Wall is like a flash of lightning, instantly breaking through the opponent's defense! This is incredible!"

Kenny Smith was also excited. He added: "Yes, Charles, Wall's speed and explosiveness are really amazing. His offense not only demonstrated his personal ability, but more importantly, it brought the Lakers hope of narrowing the gap."

Just a moment later, Wall once again relied on his excellent explosiveness and the cooperation of his teammates to successfully pass the defense and hit a mid-range jump shot.

Barkley praised loudly again: "Oh my God! Wall scored again! His shot is like an accurate sniper rifle, pointing directly at the opponent's heart! Such a performance is really great!"

Kenny Smith couldn't help but praise: "Wall's calmness and decisiveness are really admirable. He can always find the best way to attack at critical moments and contribute key points to the team."

As the game progressed, Wall continued to show his magical performance.

Whenever the Lakers are in trouble, he always steps up and leads the team out of the trough with his outstanding personal abilities.

"Wall is really an all-around player," Barkley exclaimed. "He not only has excellent offensive ability, but can also cause trouble for opponents on the defensive end. His presence makes the Lakers stronger."

Kenny Smith nodded in agreement: "That's right, Charles. Wall's versatility and leadership are indispensable elements for the Lakers."

With Wall scoring consecutively on the court, the originally tense and intense game became even more intense.

The Lakers gradually narrowed the score relying on Wall's outstanding performance, which made Lu Yong feel unprecedented pressure.

He witnessed Wall's strong performance and knew that he had to make adjustments quickly, otherwise the situation would become increasingly unfavorable.

Lu Yong decisively asked the referee for a timeout. He had to use this short break to regroup and adjust his tactics.

The players gathered around and listened to the head coach's instructions with serious expressions.

"Defense!" Lu Yong's voice echoed in the locker room with unquestionable firmness. "We were too lax in defending Wall. If he scores easily like this, our victory will be far away. From now on, everyone must strengthen defense and not let him break through so easily again."

He looked around to make sure every player was listening.

Then, he continued to emphasize: "On the offensive end, we must play steadily. Don't rush for success and ensure the success rate of every attack. Remember, patience is the key to victory."

After saying this, Lu Yong turned his gaze to Vincent on the bench.

The point guard is known for his defense, and although he didn't get much playing time in the playoffs, Lu Yong knows that this is his time to shine.

"Vincent," Lu Yong waved at him, "Go up and lock down Wall, can you do it?"

Vincent stood up, his eyes revealing firmness and determination.

He knew that it would not be easy to defend against Wall who was in hot form, but at this time, he had to step up.

“It may be difficult,” Vincent answered seriously, “but I will try my best.”

A trace of relief finally appeared on Lu Yong's face.

What he needs is this spirit of not fearing difficulties and moving forward courageously.

He nodded and waved, "Okay, after the timeout, you replace Duncan. Your task is to keep a close eye on Wall and don't give him any easy scoring opportunities."

At the same time, Lu Yong also made another important adjustment.

He replaced Martin with Porzingis to increase the speed of the Nets' inside defense.

He knew very well that Wall had a strong ability to break through, and if the defense in the interior was not strengthened, he would probably easily break into the basket and score again.

"Porzingis," Lu Yong turned to the new inside player, "your task is to help defend and be ready to fill in at any time. Wall is very fast, we have to use speed and flexibility to fight him."

The timeout passed quickly and the players returned to the court.

Vincent replaced Duncan Robinson. He stood on the sidelines, took a deep breath, and looked at Wall with a firm gaze.

With Vincent and Porzingis coming on the court, the Nets seemed to be injected with new vitality.

Their arrival not only enhanced the team's strength, but also brought spiritual encouragement to their teammates.

This change is most intuitively reflected on the field.

On the offensive end, Brunson dribbled steadily across half court, his eyes revealing determination and courage. At the same time, Porzingis cleverly used the cover of his teammates and suddenly made a flexible counter-run, quickly moving from the crowded inside to the left corner.

This move completely disrupted the Lakers' defensive layout. Brunson keenly captured the opportunity. He shook his wrist lightly, and the basketball seemed to have eyes and flew accurately to Porzingis.

After receiving the ball, Porzingis took a decisive three-pointer with his height and arm span advantage without any hesitation or delay.

The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and passed through the basket steadily, making a three-pointer!

At this moment, the entire stadium was boiling with excitement. Nets fans were cheering. Their team had finally found the rhythm and feeling of offense.

However, on the defensive end, Vincent brought unprecedented pressure to Wall.

He stuck close to Wall from the beginning and launched a fierce close defense.

Vincent's actions were extremely aggressive. He used his body to block Wall's offensive route while talking trash to him.

"Hey, Wall, are you scared? How come you can't even dribble the ball properly?" Vincent said sarcastically, trying to interfere with Wall's mentality with words.

Wall frowned, took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm.

He did not respond to Vincent's provocation because he knew that responding to trash talk would only get him into deeper trouble.

He needs to focus on the game and respond to these provocations with his own strength.

However, after halftime, Vincent's defense became more aggressive.

He seemed to have no regard for the rules of the game and was willing to pay any price to stop Wall from scoring.

As Wall tried to squeeze through the screen, Vincent suddenly stepped in and knocked Wall and Davis to the ground.

The referee's whistle sounded in time, judging that Vincent committed a defensive foul.

Although Vincent's behavior caused controversy, Lu Yong, who was sitting on the sidelines, praised his defensive attitude.

Lu Yong stood up and clapped loudly, believing that although Vincent's defense was fierce, it successfully limited Wall's performance.

In Lu Yong's view, this is the defensive intensity and attitude that the Nets need.

"Hmph, do you think you can get past me easily? Don't dream on." Vincent still refused to give in after being fouled, his eyes revealing a provocation towards Wall.

After being roughly knocked to the ground by Vincent, Wall was filled with anger.

He stared at Vincent angrily, his eyes seemed to be able to spit fire.

He cursed and said that Vincent played dirty and he was very dissatisfied with this rough defensive style.

However, Vincent looked indifferent, as if he had not heard Wall's complaints or seen his anger.

Before the Lakers players threw the sideline ball, Vincent quickly stood up and stuck to Wall like a shadow. This extremely aggressive defensive style made Wall feel seriously uncomfortable.

With the help of running, Wall finally caught the sideline ball from his teammate outside the three-point line.

However, Vincent stuck to him like adhesive, making it difficult for Wall to get rid of him.

At the same time, Davis ran out from the inside again, and it was obvious that he was going to set a screen for Wall.

Vincent was experienced. He immediately took a half step back and adjusted his pace so that he could bypass the pick-and-roll.

When Davis' screen came up, Wall stepped out with his right foot, pretending to break through to the right.

But the next moment, he suddenly changed direction in front of his body and broke through to the left. This time his speed was so fast that ordinary players could hardly keep up with him.

However, although Vincent was fooled, he forced himself to change his center of gravity and stuck to Wall from behind, continuing to put pressure on him.

At the same time, Porzingis in the interior also stepped forward to assist in defense.

When Wall took three steps to prepare for a layup, Porzingis jumped high in front of him with his arms stretched straight, blocking Wall's view.

Wall was about to use his signature pull-up layup to avoid Porzingis and score, but Vincent behind him rushed over at this time.

Vincent seized the opportunity and made a brutal block shot, knocking Wall and the ball to the ground.

The block was so powerful that Wall had no time to react.

The entire stadium seemed to be silent at this moment, and everyone was staring at this scene in amazement.

The basketball hit the backboard and bounced right into Brunson's hands.

After Brunson got the ball, he launched a counterattack immediately.

He was like a flash of lightning, passing two Lakers defenders and making a fast break layup.

At this moment, the entire Nets team was boiling with excitement, and the fans' cheers were heard one after another.

Brunson's goal allowed the Nets to regain control of the game rhythm, and Wall sat on the ground for a while before slowly standing up.

He glared at Vincent, anger flashing in his eyes.

But Vincent just looked at him coldly, then turned back to his defensive position.

Domestic studio.

"Wow!" As Vincent's block shot landed, Yang Yi couldn't help but exclaimed, "This defense is so strong! Vincent's defense is like a mad dog, making Wall completely unable to adapt."

Wang Meng also said excitedly: "Indeed, Vincent's defense is not only aggressive, but more importantly, his prediction and reaction speed are too fast. Just look at Wall's helpless expression and you will know how much trouble he encountered tonight."

"Moreover," Yang Yi continued, "Brunson's counterattack awareness is getting better and better. His ability to seize opportunities is really amazing. Once he got the ball, he quickly launched a counterattack, passed two people, and made a layup. This speed and decisiveness are amazing!"

Wang Meng nodded in agreement: "Yes, Brunson's performance tonight was indeed eye-catching. But then again, Porzingis's help defense also contributed greatly. He blocked in front of Wall in time and created a blocking opportunity for Vincent. The cooperation between these three people is really seamless."

The two became more and more excited as they talked, as if they had experienced this exciting game personally.

"However," Yang Yi changed the subject, "all this is inseparable from the dispatch of head coach Lu Yong. His substitutions were very timely, and his ability to respond on the spot is well-deserved. Substituting Vincent and Porzingis immediately changed the trend of the game."

Wang Meng also sincerely sighed: "Coach Lu Yong's coaching ability is really admirable. He can flexibly adjust tactics and personnel configuration according to the situation on the field. This ability is top-notch in the league. He deserves to be the No. 1 coach in the league's history!"

Yang Yi added: "That's right, Coach Lu Yong's tactical arrangements and personnel arrangements have demonstrated his superb coaching level. Look at the current situation on the court, it is completely in the hands of the Nets. This is the style of a famous coach!" (End of this chapter)
