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

The second game is still held at the Nets' home court, the Brooklyn Arena.

Lu Yong came to the scene early and sat on the sidelines quietly waiting for the game to start.

Fans were also discussing the game before the game. Although their opinions differed, generally speaking, they were more optimistic about the Nets sweeping and advancing 4-0.

The starting lineup of the two teams is the same as G1, with no personnel changes.

Cousins ​​jumped up and won the duel with Vucevic.

The Nets attacked first, Brunson held the ball through half court and organized the attack at the top of the key.

Just as he was about to raise his hand to call for his teammates to cover him, Fultz, who was guarding him, suddenly made a move.

The ball was missed, but Brunson reacted quickly and immediately dribbled behind his back to avoid it.

Soon, Porzingis stepped forward to cover, and Brunson used the pick and roll to get rid of Fultz's defense and break through inside.

He reached the three-second zone, stopped suddenly, and hit the board with a high throw against the defense.

"Shh!"

2:0.

The Nets took the lead.

After the goal, Brunson looked in the direction of Fultz with a smile.

The raised corners of his mouth seemed to be mocking Fultz's weak defense.

Magic offense.

Fultz made a mistake when he broke through and passed the ball. Adu, who came out from the weak side, seized the opportunity and broke the basketball.

After stealing the ball, Adu quickly pushed for a counterattack. Mitchell followed up on the right side. After receiving the pass, he passed Terrence Ross with a cool change of direction in front of his body, and hit the board for a layup from close range.

4:0, the Nets got off to a good start.

Magic offense.

Gordon faced Porzingis in singles.

Relying on his explosive advantage, he reached near the three-second zone and turned over for a jump shot.

Porzingis struggled to take off, but the basketball still flew over his fingertips and fell into the net bag.

4:2, the Magic also scored.

However, before the Magic could relax, Cousins ​​sent a wide long pass from the backcourt.

A long pass that ran through the half court accurately found Durant on the fast break.

After Adu received the ball, there was no one to defend in front.

I saw him leaping high into the free throw line and dunking the basketball into the air!
"boom!"

"Roar!"

After landing, Adu roared and celebrated loudly in the direction of the Magic bench.

The fans at the Brooklyn Arena responded with enthusiastic cheers.

6:2, the Nets continue to lead.

Looking back, Fultz and Vucevic played a pick-and-roll in the high post.

With the help of the screen, Fultz successfully passed Brunson and broke through to the three-second zone.

Worried about Porzingis' long-arm interference, Fultz chose to make a pull-up jumper.

"boom!"

Unfortunately, his poor shooting efficiency remains as stable as ever.

The ball hit the back edge of the basket and exploded.

Cousins ​​got stuck in his position, easily collected the rebound, and handed the ball to Brunson beside him.

Brunson immediately accelerated and headed towards the Magic half court.

After arriving at the Magic half, Brunson found that Fultz retreated relatively far back.

Probably because he was afraid of his breakthrough, he kept a large distance in front of him.

Brunson was delighted when he saw the opportunity. He immediately put his hands on the ball two steps away from the three-point line and decisively shot a three-pointer.

The basketball drew a rainbow-like arc in the air.

"Shh!"

Hollow into the network!

9: 2.

The Nets got off to a dream start.

"Beautiful! The Nets came out with all their firepower and attacked very fiercely. Could it be that the suspense of today's game will be ended early again?" Yang Yi said with a smile.

"The Nets continued their hot form in the first game, and the players performed excellently from the start!"

"It can be seen that the Magic's defensive end has worked very hard to retreat, but it cannot hold up against the Nets' rich offensive methods. Everyone can shoulder the heavy responsibility. I am afraid this game will be wasted again." Wang Meng added.

Seeing this, Magic coach Clifford quickly called a timeout.

The team prepared for this game for two full days.

As a result, the game was about to be defeated in the first quarter.

The Magic players all lowered their heads and remained silent.

In stark contrast, is the fiery atmosphere of Brooklyn fans.

The fans seemed to have foreseen the victory and started celebrating in advance before the first quarter was over.

The timeout ended and the game continued. The Nets' offensive surged like a tidal wave, leaving the Magic unable to fight back.

The fans' emotions were completely ignited as the score continued to increase. Cheers and shouts came one after another, and the entire Brooklyn Arena seemed to have turned into a sea of ​​carnival.

Whenever a Nets player scores a goal, the fans will cheer as if they have personally experienced the exciting moment of the game.

They waved the support items in their hands, shouted the players' names, and cheered them on.

When the Magic players attack, the fans will boo, trying to interfere with their rhythm and create a favorable atmosphere for the Nets.

With more than 6 minutes left in the first quarter of the game, the Nets had expanded the score to 21:8. The excitement of the fans at the scene has reached its peak, and they are looking forward to the Nets being able to go all out and completely defeat the game.

At the same time, Magic head coach Clifford's face became increasingly ugly.

He stood on the sidelines, frowning, with a hint of anxiety and helplessness in his eyes.

He kept shouting at the players on the field, trying to adjust tactics and change the trend of the game.

However, no matter how hard he tried, the Magic's offense and defense seemed disorganized and completely unable to compete with the Nets.

Watching the numbers on the scoreboard getting bigger and bigger, Clifford's mood became heavier and heavier.

He knew that if the Magic couldn't get back to form as soon as possible, the game would probably end here.

He couldn't help but begin to doubt his coaching ability and whether he could really lead this team out of trouble. At this moment, the situation on the field changed again.

In a quick counterattack by the Nets, Mitchell completed a powerful dunk, rewriting the score to 23:8.

This goal seemed to completely destroy the morale of the Magic. They began to appear panicked and made frequent mistakes.

The Nets became more and more courageous as they fought, relying on their tacit cooperation and precise shooting to continue to expand their score advantage.

The cheers of the fans grew louder and louder, as if they were about to overturn the entire stadium.

The Nets' offensive became more and more fierce, and the players cooperated tacitly on the court. Every pass and move was just right, making the Magic's defense worry about one thing and the other, and they were exhausted.

The Nets have many scoring points. Whether it is a strong attack inside or a long shot from the outside, they can score easily. The Magic seemed to be stuck in a scoring drought, and their offense became monotonous and weak. Except for occasional individual battles, it was difficult to form a threatening offense.

With more than 3 minutes left in the first quarter, the Nets expanded the score to 33:15.

Magic head coach Clifford's mood has sunk to rock bottom.

He stood on the sidelines with his hands folded on his chest, his eyes showing deep helplessness and disappointment.

He looked at the performance of the players on the field with mixed feelings in his heart. He knew that this game had become extremely difficult for the Magic, but they still could not give up.

Clifford kept shouting at the players on the court, trying to inspire their fighting spirit and confidence.

He told the players to believe in themselves and the team. Only by uniting as one can we defeat powerful opponents.

However, his shouting did not seem to have much effect, and the Magic players still seemed to have no fighting spirit and structure.

On the other hand, Nets players have shown extremely high basketball skills and team spirit on the court. Whether it is fast break, pick-and-roll, support or three-point shooting, they can easily respond and score.

At the last moment of the first quarter, the Nets once again hit a smooth offensive climax, causing the Magic's defense to completely collapse.

As the first quarter ended, the Nets led the Magic with a disparity of 42:20.

The fans at the scene stood up, applauded and cheered, sending their warmest congratulations and respect to their home team.

They knew that this game had lost its suspense and were proud of the Nets' wonderful performance.

The Magic players walked off the court dejectedly, with disappointment and helplessness written all over their faces.

What awaits them can only be an even more cruel ending.

Seeing the players' lack of fighting spirit, head coach Clifford sighed deeply.

"Guys, I know the situation is bad now, but we can't just give up." Clifford's voice echoed in the players' ears, "We are a capable team and we have the ability to compete with any opponent. To compete, we can’t deny ourselves just because we lose one game.”

"As long as we can display our own characteristics, we have a chance to defeat them. We must believe in ourselves and the team. Only by uniting as one can we defeat powerful opponents."

Listening to the head coach's words, the eyes of the Magic players were still empty.

We are no longer children, and chicken soup can only play a very limited role in this desperate situation.

Except for a few young players who gradually became determined, everyone else thought Clifford was farting and had long given up hope.

At the beginning of the second quarter, the Magic's offensive efficiency improved.

Young people such as Fultz and Bamba showed a completely different mental outlook on the court.

As several young people began to work hard, the enthusiasm of the old guys in the Magic was gradually aroused.

On the offensive end, they began to actively run and look for open shooting opportunities; on the defensive end, they went all out and did not give the Nets any easy scoring opportunities.

Magic players began to gradually regain their rhythm and confidence, and launched a fierce confrontation with the Nets on the court.

Although the Nets still have the upper hand, the Magic have not given up.

In the middle of the second quarter, the Magic relied on a wonderful fast break to chase the score to 42:56.

However, the Nets will not easily let the Magic reverse the game.

Everyone remained calm and focused, responding to the Magic's challenge with precise shooting and tacit cooperation.

Whenever the Magic approaches the score, the Nets can always respond in time and open the score again.

At the end of the second quarter, the Nets still led the Magic by a big score, 73:50.

Although the Magic launched a fierce counterattack in the second quarter, the Nets still relied on their strength and experience to maintain their lead.

At halftime, Magic head coach Clifford made adjustments to the team.

He encouraged the players to fight to the end and made specific tactical arrangements based on the characteristics of different players.

Players are required to be more active in fighting for rebounds, strengthening defensive rotations and fast break counterattacks and other key aspects of execution.

At the beginning of the second half, the Magic players, inspired by the halftime break, once again showed strong fighting spirit and confidence.

Halfway through the third quarter, the Magic relied on wonderful teamwork to score points and once again narrowed the point difference to about 15 points.

Unfortunately, in the face of absolute strength, the Magic's counterattack was as ridiculous as a child threatening an adult with a toy pistol.

The Nets used their strength and experience to control the rhythm of the game, and gradually opened the score to more than 20 points again.

At the end of the three quarters, the Nets still led the Magic by 102 points, 77:25.

Although the Magic once closed the score to 12 points in the third quarter, the Nets still maintained their lead with their stable performance and did not allow their opponents to easily reverse the game.

The game entered the final decisive moment, and both sides sent out their strongest lineups for the final desperate struggle.

The Nets still used strong and stable offensive firepower to output wildly, constantly putting pressure on their opponents on the court.

The Magic did not give up any offensive and defensive opportunities, and went all out on the court to strive for victory.

Lu Yong was sitting on the sidelines, drinking tea leisurely, his eyes showing calmness and confidence.

He knew that this game was already a sure win for the Nets, and the Magic would definitely lose.

Compared with Lu Yong's relaxed state, Clifford seemed anxious at the moment.

Standing on the sidelines and shouting at the players on the court, trying to change the trend of the game.

However, no matter how hard he tried, the Magic's offense and defense were completely unable to compete with the Nets.

In the middle of the fourth quarter, the Nets once again hit a smooth offensive climax, causing the Magic's defense to completely collapse.

As the score gap became wider and wider, the cheers of the fans at the scene became louder and louder.

"Nets, come on!"

"Nets, must win!" The fans' shouts were deafening, making everyone in the Magic upset.

Seeing the numbers on the scoreboard rising, Lu Yong showed a satisfied smile on his face.

At the end, as the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the score was fixed at 134:98. The Nets ended the game with a big victory, crushing their opponents in terms of strength and fighting spirit.

There was an atmosphere of joy and disappointment throughout the arena.

Nets fans cheered loudly to celebrate the victory, while Magic fans bowed their heads in silence, silently suffering the pain of defeat.

However, no matter what the result is, this series will become an indelible memory in the hearts of Magic players.

The disparity in strength is so great that playing against the Nets is simply torture!
Lu Yong walked into the court and shook hands with Clifford. Clifford had a wry smile on his face. After shaking hands, he silently turned around and left the court.

The first two games of the playoffs were a heavy blow to the Magic, but they must learn from it and bounce back.

If he wants to keep his position as head coach, he must unite the locker room. Even if he loses, he must lose generously, otherwise it will only be a matter of time before he is dismissed. (End of chapter)
