Coach: Coaching the Grizzlies at the beginning, playing the bantam
Chapter 571 Unpredictable
In the blink of an eye, the half-time whistle seemed to still echo in my ears, but in the blink of an eye, the players were back on the battlefield.
The second half of the game began instantly as if the fast-forward button had been pressed.
The Nets' matches with their opponents have always been full of sparks and passion.
The starting lineups of the two teams are like two sharp swords, pointing directly at each other's heart.
Cousins and Brunson, two capable players of the Nets, were eager to show their skills in the second half.
The Nets attacked, Brunson dribbled the ball across half court and stood firmly at the top of the arc.
His eyes were determined, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.
Wall came to him again.
The confrontation between the two has been full of sparks since the start of the game.
Wall's defensive strategy is very clear, which is to press closely.
He stared at Brunson like a ferocious cheetah, not giving him any chance to breathe.
However, Brunson is not the type of player to be easily intimidated.
He dribbled the ball calmly, dodging left and right, nimbly avoiding Wall's steals.
At the same time, Brunson was also observing the running positions of his teammates.
He knows that a basketball game is never a one-man battle, but requires the collaboration and cooperation of the entire team.
Soon, he found Durant at a 45-degree position on the right, reaching for the ball.
Although Wall was close to Brunson, he still noticed Durant's movements out of the corner of his eye.
So he turned slightly sideways, ready to intercept Brunson's pass at any time.
However, Brunson did not pass the ball directly. He came up with a plan and decided to teach Wall a lesson.
Brunson suddenly made a fake pass and fooled Wall's defense.
Wall's center of gravity shifted instantly. He thought Brunson was going to pass the ball to Durant, so he lunged forward.
However, Brunson did not pass the ball. Instead, he dribbled behind his back at the moment when Wall's center shifted, and shook Wall off by more than a meter.
At this point, there was no defensive interference in front of Brunson.
Faced with an almost empty opportunity, he felt an indescribable excitement and excitement in his heart.
He knew that this moment was the best time for him to show his strength.
So, Brunson shot from outside the three-point line, the basketball drew a perfect arc in the air, and then with a "swish", it went into the net.
The entire stadium was boiling in an instant, with fans cheering and shouting one after another.
The Nets scored the first points in the second half, and Brunson's three-pointer ignited the passion of Nets fans.
The Lakers' offense was like a surging tide, and they would never give up easily because of a single point loss.
Wall had just been tricked by Brunson with an accurate three-pointer, and there was an unyielding fire in his eyes.
He was eager to regain his position and prove his strength to everyone.
Wall raised his hand and asked Davis for a screen. The tacit understanding between the two needed no further explanation.
Davis quickly moved to the right position to block the pursuing player for Wall.
Wall took advantage of this pick-and-roll opportunity and accelerated towards the basket. His speed was as fast as lightning and was unpredictable.
Seeing this, Brunson quickly moved sideways to block. He stood firmly in Wall's path, trying to stop the veteran's attack.
However, Wall is not so easy to deal with.
In a flash, he suddenly crossed over and passed the opponent, his movements smooth and quick.
Brunson was about to adjust his center of gravity to catch up, but Wall suddenly changed his offensive rhythm.
He stuck close to Brunson's body and turned around. The movement was very smooth and he almost passed Brunson cleanly.
Brunson tried to reach out to Laver, but it was too late.
Wall slipped away from his defense like a slippery loach.
Then Wall took three steps and jumped high, with only the basket in his eyes.
Porzingis came over from the side and tried to block Wall's shot.
But Wall was not afraid. He adjusted his posture in the air and made a layup.
The moment the basketball went through the net, Lakers fans became excited.
The Lakers continued to keep the score close, showing tenacious fighting spirit and excellent teamwork.
After the ball went in, Brunson stood there and shook his head helplessly.
He knows his defensive play has been a hole in this series.
Although his performance on offense was explosive, his shortcomings on defense made him a little frustrated.
He wanted to play defense well, but Wall was too fast.
Even though Wall is not in his prime, he can crush his defense by occasionally performing well.
This made Brunson feel helpless and frustrated.
At this time, Durant came over and rubbed Brunson's head, trying to comfort his young teammate.
Durant's eyes were full of encouragement and trust. He said, "Don't be frustrated, brother. It's normal to be unable to defend, just like I can't defend LeBron. This is how basketball games are. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. We just need to play stronger offense than our opponents on the offensive end, and we can still win."
Hearing Durant's comfort, Brunson nodded.
He knew very well that what Durant said made sense and that deficiencies on the defensive end would not determine the outcome of the game.
As long as they play well on offense, they have a chance to win the game.
So Brunson cheered himself up and a smile returned to his face.
He said: "Got it, Kevin. I will try my best to adjust my condition and help the team win. We are a team, and only by unity can we defeat our opponents."
Durant smiled when he heard this. He patted Brunson on the shoulder and said, "That's right, brother. We are a team. Only by working together can we win. Your offensive ability is excellent. As long as you can contribute a little on the defensive end, we have a chance to win this game."
Brunson nodded, fully aware of his responsibility and mission.
He decided to play harder on defense in the next game and contribute to the team's victory.
The Nets attacked, and every move was full of strength and determination.
Brunson dribbled across half court with a determined look in his eyes.
He glanced at his teammates on the field and already had a clear tactical arrangement in his mind.
In this round, Brunson chose to pass the ball to Cousins in the low post.
Cousins, the inside giant, decisively started a back-to-back after receiving the ball. His body was like a small mountain, firmly rooted on the floor, and no matter how the opponent pushed, he could not shake his foundation.
Davis stuck close to Cousins, trying to stop his attack.
However, Cousins seemed not to care about his existence.
He lowered his waist, stabilized his center of gravity, and then after two body collisions, he suddenly made a fake move to the left.
The fake was so sudden and so convincing that even Davis was fooled.
He pounced suddenly, but found that he had pounced on nothing.
And at this moment, Cousins had already turned around and made a fadeaway jump shot.
His movements were smooth and graceful, as if he was performing a gorgeous dance in the air.
Davis relied on his better physical fitness to jump up and block the shot.
His jumping ability is so amazing that he seems to be able to touch the sky.
However, even with his strong athletic talent, he was unable to block Cousins' fadeaway jump shot.
The basketball drew a rainbow-like arc in the air, and then with a "swish", it went into the net.
The entire stadium was boiling in an instant, with fans cheering and shouting one after another.
Cousins' fadeaway jump shot not only scored valuable points for the Nets, but also ignited the passion of the entire audience.
After he came back in the second half, he also played to his strengths on the offensive end and together with Brunson established a lead for the Nets.
After seeing Cousins' performance, Brunson showed a satisfied smile on his face.
He knew that as long as he and Cousins could maintain this form, the Nets would have a chance to win the game.
So he devoted himself to the game more attentively, using his speed and skills to constantly attack the Lakers' defense.
The Lakers will naturally not give up easily.
They quickly adjusted their defensive strategy to try to limit the Nets' offense.
However, the Nets' offensive firepower was too fierce, and they could hardly cope with Brunson's breakthrough and Cousins' back-to-the-basket play.
In the following game, the Lakers and Nets each made two more attacks.
Both sides' attacks all hit the target, not because the opponent's defense was too weak, but because both sides' attacks were too strong.
Both Wall of the Lakers and Brunson of the Nets showed extraordinary scoring ability.
The score remained close and the game became more and more tense.
Every attack and defense makes people's blood boil, as if they are in a fierce battle.
The fans cheered and shouted one after another as they cheered for the team they supported.
During one of the Nets' offenses, Brunson dribbled across half court again.
His eyes were sharp, as if he had seen through the Lakers' defense.
He quickly glanced at his teammates on the court, then decisively passed the ball to Cousins.
After receiving the ball, Cousins started to back-up again.
His body was like an immovable mountain, firmly rooted to the ground.
Davis once again stuck close to Cousins, trying to stop his attack.
However, Cousins seemed not to care about his existence.
He lowered his waist, stabilized his center of gravity, and then suddenly made a fake move to the right.
This time, Davis wasn’t fooled.
He followed Cousins' movements closely, trying to block his shot.
However, at this moment, Cousins suddenly turned around and made a gorgeous fadeaway jump shot.
The basketball drew a perfect arc in the air and then fell steadily into the basket.
The Nets fans were excited again, and the cheers and shouts were deafening.
Cousins' fadeaway jump shot not only consolidated the Nets' lead, but also allowed fans to see his strength and determination.
The Lakers naturally would not give up easily and quickly adjusted their offensive strategy.
But the Nets' defense was also excellent.
The game entered a white-hot stage, and players on both sides tried their best.
Every attack and defense makes people's heart beat faster, as if they are in a life-and-death battle.
The Nets attacked again, and Brunson once again showed his big heart.
He dribbled across half court and then decisively chose to break through.
His body flashed across the court like a flash of lightning, instantly breaking through the Lakers' defense.
Brunson was so fast that the Lakers players had no time to react.
They could only watch as Brunson broke through to the basket and scored a gorgeous layup.
Of course, the Lakers are not so easy to defeat.
In the following games, they showed tenacious fighting spirit and excellent teamwork.
Both James and Davis scored points using their personal abilities.
The game became more intense and tense. Players on both sides tried their best. Every attack and defense was exciting.
The players on the field were all in high spirits, running and fighting as if they were tirelessly.
The commentators Wang Meng and Yang Yi in the studio were also keeping a close eye on every detail on the court and making comments from time to time.
"Watching this game is really exciting!" Wang Meng exclaimed, "After the halftime break, both teams played very well in their first few attacks and all of them were on target. It seems that a short break is very helpful for the players to recover their physical strength."
Yang Yi nodded in agreement: "That's right, especially in such a high-intensity game, physical strength often affects the final offensive efficiency. It seems that after the halftime break, the players of both teams have obviously adjusted. Although they are still working hard on the defensive end, they still can't stop the opponent's offense. Especially the Nets, Brunson and Cousins suffered foul trouble in the first half, and they came back in the second half and attacked very fiercely. The Lakers need to pay attention to the performance of these two people."
Wang Meng went on to say: "Indeed, Brunson and Cousins are important scoring points for the Nets. They did not perform to their full potential in the first half due to foul problems. But after returning in the second half, they obviously adjusted their form and played very aggressively on the offensive end. If the Lakers cannot effectively limit their performance, the score is likely to be further widened."
"The Lakers are not to be outdone." Yang Yi added, "Wall, Davis and James also maintain a good offensive hit rate. The three of them are the Lakers' scoring weapons. As long as they can maintain a stable output on the offensive end, the Lakers will have a chance to compete with the Nets."
The game on the field is still going on fiercely, and the scores of the two teams are constantly rising alternately.
Every attack and defense makes people hold their breath, as if afraid of missing any exciting moment.
Wang Meng said, "The scores of the two teams have been hovering within two rounds. Now it depends on which team can break the balance first. If the Nets can continue to maintain such offensive firepower and the Lakers cannot effectively limit their performance, then the Nets are likely to have the upper hand in this game."
"But the Lakers are not pushovers," Yang Yi reminded. "They have a wealth of game experience and an excellent lineup of players. As long as they can make some adjustments on the defensive end and maintain a stable output on the offensive end, they will have a chance to win this game. The outcome of this game is really unpredictable." (End of this chapter)
