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

Chapter 362 The only 'Death' in the alliance! A countdown on James' head! Invincible

In the second quarter, Brunson, who had rested for more than 5 minutes, returned to the court to lead the bench.

The other four are Dunro, LeVert, Oubre, and Claxton.

Lakers five: Rondo, Daniels, Pope, Dudley, Howard.

The Lakers still have McGee, the talent monster, sitting on the bench, but coach Vogel obviously prefers to use the old Howard and pays attention to defense.

The second lineups of both sides played very anxiously, mainly because the Lakers defended well.

Rondo, Pope, and Howard all have good defensive abilities. Relying on defense, the Lakers have become one of the few teams in the league that can withstand the Nets' offensive.

Dudley is indeed not fast as a power forward, but his three-pointers are very accurate. His season shooting rate is as high as 47.1%, which can open up space very well.

Rondo has regained the feeling of the Celtics era. His statistics for the Lakers are average, but he is the Lakers' first point of possession after James comes off the court, and has a high tactical status.

The biggest shortcoming of the Lakers' substitutes is their offense. They don't have the offensive strength. Fortunately, the players have a good defensive attitude, and they ended up in a stalemate with the Nets.

The Nets mainly rely on outside scoring. Clarkston is too light, and his efficiency in beating Howard after the pick-and-roll is average.

This season's 'Warcraft' Howard is recognized as a low-paid but high-energy player. He has excellent lateral speed for a big man of the same height. Even Jokic can't take advantage of one-on-one, let alone Claxton.

Lu Yong sat on the sidelines and observed for a while, then decisively replaced Claxton and let Cousins, who was a greater offensive threat, come on.

Cousins' defense is a problem. He is slow and unable to defend against pick-and-rolls, and is easily targeted by Rondo.

However, he was not weak at all when facing Howard on the offensive end and helped the team even more.

Facts have proved that Lu Yong’s substitution was effective.

As soon as Cousins ​​came on the court, he beat Howard in the low post and succeeded, helping the team gain an advantage in the paint.

Six minutes later, as the starters from both teams returned to the court one after another, the score was once again in a stalemate.

At halftime, the Nets entered the second half with a 5-point lead.

In the third quarter, Davis began to show the strength of the league's top insiders again.

The pick-and-roll combination allowed him to continuously kill the inside and score a mid-range shot. He played at a super level tonight.

戴维斯这节单节砍下13分4篮板2助攻1盖帽,带领球队反超4分进入末节。

浓眉三节就拿下31分11篮板4助攻3盖帽,数据比26分8篮板3助攻2盖帽的波尔津吉斯略好。

James also scored 15 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists in the three quarters, not holding him back.

With Mitchell Robinson on the court, Davis played a pick-and-roll with James. The Nets used small-ball tactics, and Davis forced his way inside to cause damage.

This style of play relies purely on personal ability, and it is clear at a glance who is the real leg of the Lakers.

Lu Yong also tried to let Porzingis go against the thick eyebrows, but as Porzingis received his fourth foul, he had to let Porzingis return to the fourth position.

He can guarantee no fouls when playing power forward. He has a tough front and thick eyebrows. He can easily leave the game with six fouls before the end of the game. After all, this is the home court of the Lakers, and the referee's whistle is not very beneficial to the Nets.

Porzingis felt good offensively today, and Lu Yong didn't want him to be sent off.

We can only let Mitchell Robinson and Cousins ​​take turns to face off against Davis.

The momentum of the Lakers' home court is amazing. Every time a goal is scored, the fans will stand up and cheer loudly.

But Lu Yong is not in a hurry. For an offensive team like the Nets, a single-digit point difference is like a deposit, which is gone in the blink of an eye.

This season, the Nets have trailed twice entering the fourth quarter, and they eventually completed comebacks.

With a top star like Durant in charge, the Nets are never soft on key goals.

As Nets fans expected, the team began to gain momentum in the final quarter and gradually recovered the lagging score.

Mitchell Robinson and Brunson both took a rest. The five people on the field were Rose, Mitchell, Durant, Porzingis, and Cousins.

This lineup is very famous, but two people are not in their prime.

If Rose and Cousins ​​are in their prime, they will be full-fledged Eastern Conference All-Stars.

Anthony Davis took a rest, and the Lakers, led by James, could only barely guarantee that they would not be widened. Trying to gain an advantage was tantamount to wishful thinking.

Five minutes later, the Lakers replaced Anthony Davis, and the two sides entered the final decisive stage.

As long as overtime is not played, Anthony Davis's physical strength is under control and there is no need to worry about weakness in his feet.

The Nets also brought back the starting five. Lu Yong's tactic is to hand the ball to Durant or Porzingis, and star players in singles battles, focusing on personal ability.

Vogel had the exact same idea as him, letting James and Davis take turns attacking the inside. There is nothing more reassuring than this.

On the premise of solid defense, the Lakers players opened up and waited for opportunities. James and Anthony Davis played a pick-and-roll attack in the middle.

As for the Nets, Durant holds the ball in the middle and plays one-on-one, breaking through and passing the ball to anyone to finish. While focusing on the individual abilities of the stars, they play relatively team-oriented.

Lu Yong asked Brunson and Mitchell to take more shots, misplaced Anthony Davis, Kuzma or pull-up three-pointers to share the offensive pressure for Durant.

These two people did not disappoint Lu Yong. First, Mitchell misplaced the singles with thick eyebrows.

Anthony Davis was near the penalty area, very far away. Before he could take off when he defended the three-pointer, Mitchell had already shot a three-pointer and made it cleanly.

In the next round, Brunson used a pick-and-roll to pull Davis out. He feinted in a misplaced one-on-one, broke through in a different direction, relied on rhythm to break away from the opponent, and hit a mid-range pull-up jumper.

These two goals directly boosted the momentum of the Nets. With 1 minute and 21 seconds left before the end of the game, the two teams were tied.

Frank Vogel asked for a timeout. At this time, he had no trump cards and his pants were stripped clean by Lu Yong.

But calling a timeout to interrupt the Nets' momentum is also a strategy.

In the next minute and a half, every attack and defense is particularly important and will directly affect the outcome of the game.

Lu Yong took advantage of the pause to emphasize a few tactics and made a substitution.

Mitchell Robinson took a rest, Porzingis returned to the fifth position to strengthen the offense, and the power forward went to Oubre, who had a better shot.

Usually coaches would choose to strengthen defense at this time, but Lu Yong just didn't take the usual path. For more than a minute, Porzingis didn't have to worry about six fouls and left the game, and he went straight to the king with thick eyebrows.

In addition, Oubre's appearance on the Nets' outside threat will also be greatly improved.

As long as someone pulls him out, Anthony Davis doesn't dare to stay in the penalty area and is forced to come out to help defend.

Sometimes, on-the-spot adjustments are the key to changing the situation.

The reason why Lu Yong's coaching level is recognized by the mainstream media, in addition to his good record in leading the team, has a lot to do with his courage to employ people and often make lineup adjustments at critical moments.

When he was an assistant coach with the Grizzlies, he was able to crush the 'dwarf tiger' Fratello in terms of reputation because of Sima Xingkong's bold ideas.

He has always been a person who dares to take action, and it is no accident that he has achieved what he has achieved today. After the timeout, Vogel did not adjust the lineup, and the starting five were still on the court.

When he saw Lu Yong changing players, he frowned subconsciously, and had a vague premonition in his heart.

When the Lakers attacked, James and Davis played pick-and-rolls, but their power was weakened due to declining physical fitness.

Porzingis' large-scale sweep brought a lot of trouble to the thick-eyebrow offense. James couldn't find an offensive opportunity and could only distribute the ball to the center.

Kuzma caught the ball and met Oubre. After a feint, he missed the shot and took a step forward to find his teammates.

Bradley caught the ball and hit the frame in singles. Brunson followed up in time with his young and fast feet and interfered with him before he took the shot.

Bradley stepped back and forced a shot, but the interference missed the basket.

Vogel stood on the sidelines with a confused look on his face. He said he had a star moment, but why did James pass the ball? ?

Face Durant directly and force him!

If he can't make a sudden advance and has thick eyebrows to fight for offensive rebounds, it's better than letting Bradley, a role player, make strong shots against the defense.

In his opinion, the old man's pass was too unreasonable.

It's a pity that James has a higher status than him. No matter how angry Vogel is, he can only endure it and dare not speak out.

Porzingis protected the backboard and passed to Durant, who slowed down his pace and hit the ball with success.

Durant dribbled to the frontcourt, Porzingis pulled out to cover, and the formation was completely stretched.

The quality of this screen was good. Durant accelerated to get rid of James and made an emergency stop from the left corner.

Durant's mid-range shooting is unparalleled in the league. He is never afraid of key shots. He hits the net with a hollow goal against Lao James, and voila!

118 to 116, the Nets lead by two points!

For a moment, the silence button seemed to be pressed at Staples Arena, and Lakers fans stared at the big screen with despairing faces.

Vogel also became anxious, but still did not make any substitutions. He could only trust the main force at the critical moment.

James dribbles to the frontcourt himself, controls the rhythm, and the players are spread out.

Waving for a pick-and-roll, James went to the left and broke through to the basket, attracting Oubre to double attack, and passed the ball through the gap to Kuzma.

Kuzma took the blame and didn't dare to fight. He took a sudden step and looked for the thick eyebrows to cut from the weak side.

In the last few seconds, Thick Eyebrow caught the ball, turned around in the middle, swayed and then threw the board high, ignoring interference and hitting the ball, 118 to 118.

Anthony Davis scored a crucial goal to pull the Lakers back from the brink.

In the next round, the Nets completed a quick attack.

After the pick-and-roll, Durant broke through and scored. Mitchell missed a 60-degree three-pointer from the left, and the rebound was protected by Davis.

Looking back, James controlled the ball and pressed time.

At 31 seconds, both sides have one offensive opportunity left. If they fail to make a shot, there is a high chance of a decisive overtime.

James didn't pass the ball this time, and suddenly made a three-pointer from the middle just before 24 seconds.

Durant stretched out his arm to interfere in time, the ball bounced off the edge of the basket, and the backboard was picked off by Porzingis.

Lu Yong stood on the sidelines with his hands folded on his chest and did not call a timeout.

The Nets' offensive momentum was good, and he chose to believe in the players and let the players solve the problem on their own in the final attack.

Many great kills in history were born under such circumstances. He can indeed arrange tactics by calling a timeout, but at the same time the Lakers can also arrange defense.

Since the score on the field is tied, there is still a chance to play overtime even if the shot is missed. Lu Yong will naturally not interfere with the players' choices.

On the court, Porzingis passed the ball to Adu, who received the ball at half court with only 7 seconds left. He drastically changed his body and broke through inside. He took a few steps and was double-teamed by thick eyebrows.

At this time, there were only 3 seconds left. Durant had no time to look for his teammates. He turned around in the middle and put one foot on the edge of the three-point line to shoot a pull-up jumper. He just used his talent to avoid the block and faced James' defense. The ball was thrown.

James' defensive prediction was very accurate this time, but he still failed to block the shot even though he jumped with all his strength.

Adu's hand felt very hot today. The basketball drew a rainbow-like exquisite arc in the air, mixed with the electronic buzzer at the end of the game, and the ball hit the net hollowly!

"Shh!"

120 is better than 118!

Durant hit a standard buzzer-beater on James' head! !

Use an unreasonable turn to send the Lakers home and lead the Nets to a near-miss victory!

Tonight, he proved that he is the only 'death' in the league! !

The Nets players ran toward him like crazy, and Rose on the bench flew up and hung on Adu, celebrating excitedly.

Charles Barkley shouted: "Wonderful buzzer-beater! This game was so shocking. The Nets finally reversed the Lakers with Durant's countdown shot and continued their winning streak!"

James and Anthony Davis looked at the replay above their heads with depressed expressions. Before the Nets could finish celebrating, they took the lead in walking into the tunnel.

This result was difficult for them to accept. The feeling of being killed by Durant himself was indeed not very pleasant.

Lakers fans also looked helpless and left the scene unwillingly.

Some fans also gave applause to the Nets. Although the home team was defeated, they saw a hearty game tonight.

Position aside, this is bound to be an unforgettable scene.

After the game, the media generally believed that the reason why the Nets won was not only Durant's big heart, but also related to Lu Yong's substitutions after the timeout.

He switched to a smaller lineup at critical moments, which opened up more space on the court and created an offensive environment for Durant's final singles with the ball.

Lu Yong's on-the-spot command tonight completely overwhelmed Lakers coach Vogel. He should be the one with the last laugh.

Frank Vogel once again took advantage of the situation, and the Lakers management became more and more dissatisfied with him. His coaching position once again became in jeopardy after his confrontation with Lu Yong.

When the Walkers laid him off, it was because Vogel had been beaten by the Knicks led by Lu Yong for many years in the playoffs and could not find a way to crack it.

As a result, Vogel traveled west to join the Lakers, but still couldn't escape the fate of being defeated by Lu Yong. This was so depressing.

After the Nets defeated the Lakers, their starting record has reached 28 wins and 1 loss.

Experts believe that the Nets are invincible this season. Not only do they have high offensive efficiency, they also do a good job on defense.

If you want to defeat the Nets, in addition to players having a massive hand explosion, you must also meet the three rigid standards of having top stars, good defense, and role players with basic salaries and high abilities.

At present, there are only a handful of teams in the entire league that can achieve this condition.

A few teams such as the Lakers, Clippers and Bucks barely reached the standard.

But either the role players are not stable enough, or the top players often stretch their hips. They may have the strength to beat the Nets, but it is difficult to defeat the Nets in a 7-game 4-win system.

In other words, the Nets, who are going all out, will be even stronger in the playoff format! (End of chapter)
