NBA: I, the god of the front

Yang Yang heard his taunt, but he didn't take it seriously, and just defended with his footsteps.

Entering the crowd, Clark turned around very flexibly and shot very stealthily.

Millsap on the inside failed to help defend because of his slow pace, but the ball was still difficult to break through and score.

"Prevent the outside, don't let him rush in easily." Millsap shouted at Yang Yang dissatisfied with the ball.

Yang Yang did not refute, the ball did allow him to break through successfully, but if Millsap hadn't let go of his own people to help defend, Yang Yang was confident that he would be unable to make a shot.

Clark just took advantage of the flexibility of his footsteps and made a time difference with the help of Millsap's inability to keep up.

Looking back, Yang Yang and Qiao Ha still pick and roll each other and cross the bottom line.

Mills first dropped the ball to Millsap in the low post, and Clarkston gave Joha an off-ball screen.

The open just ran out, and Millsap's pass was in place.

As a three-point shooter, Joha's hand shape is very beautiful, and he can shoot when he squeezes the ball out of space.

But tonight's Joha seems to have lost his sight, and he didn't make any three-pointers.

When he hit the front of the basket and popped up, Yang Yang was already ready to grab the rebound.

Clarkston was facing Herna Gomez, and his eyes were wide open. Yang Yang grabbed the rebound with one hand, and before others could react, Yang Yang made a second offensive shot and easily put the ball in.

"Catch the rebound, why did No. 8 pick up the rebound so easily?" Willie Green's growl came again.

Yang Yang's mobility allows him to appear in any position on the court, even when rebounding, he never relaxes.

Watching the score approaching, Nash said with a smile, "In all three rounds, he scored all by himself. I like his hard work, he can grab offensive rebounds and score."

"Don't we need such a 3D player?" D'Antoni laughed. "Our inside card position is very good. If he doesn't stand up at this time, I will think he is stupid."

The coaching staff stared intently at the progress on the court. In the next few rounds, both sides fell into a tug-of-war.

For 5 minutes, Yang Yang did not receive the ball, and both sides fell into a scoring drought.

Seeing the stagnation of the offense, Nash quickly called a timeout.

In the last 2 minutes, instead of Yang Yang, Johnson said, "Offensively pass the ball more, and attack with two-handed passes. This is not the result I want. The ball needs to rotate, and give the most suitable opportunity to shoot."

"Defense, keep an eye on the opponent's inside line, keep a clear mind, and don't be disturbed by their rhythm. If they can't score, it is our opportunity, and we must seize the opportunity."

Mills was also replaced, and five substitutes spent the last minute on the field.

At the end of the first half, the Pelicans led the Nets by 55 points at 50:5.

Due to Yang Yang's 7 points in a single quarter, he has been biting the score.

The Pelicans can still take the lead without Williams, which also benefits from Ingram's offense.

Clark, who replaced Williams, only scored 2 points in a single quarter. Under Yang Yang's defense, he hardly scored much.

Yang Yang returned to the locker room helplessly. Judging from the offense in the second quarter, Mills did not have a good rhythm on the court.

Knowing that his offensive touch is hot, he has been unable to get the ball.

But if you attack more, the score may catch up.

Seeing the unwillingness on Yang Yang's face, Vaughan deliberately pulled him and whispered first, "Don't be discouraged, this is only the first half, the real battle is in the second half, and you still need to attack."

"I'm in very good shape and can launch more attacks, Mr. Vaughan, but I..."

"Okay, this is not what you should think." Vaughn quickly reached out and stopped, "Yang, listen, don't have the mentality that you have to save the game, all you have to do is do your best to do what you should do thing."

Of course Yang Yang is doing what he should do, taking over the offensive banner is the focus of tonight.

Without the Big Three, shouldn't he be the core?
Entering the locker room, Nash sat in the middle, patted the tactical board and shouted dissatisfiedly, "Offensive, see your offense clearly."

"Without Kevin, without Harden, and without Irving, you wouldn't be able to play?"

"Did you forget the arrangement I gave you?"

In the locker room, Nash must wake up the players with anger, and must not sleep again.

"Mills, you are the core of the field and the tactical engine. You need to master the rhythm of the field and see the situation on the field clearly."

"The second quarter, with Williams off the floor, should be our best opportunity to attack."

"Yang's touch is hot, why can't you give him more balls?"

Mills has come to appreciate his poor picks and is open to criticism.

After reaching out to indicate that it was his own problem, Nash decisively turned the topic on Joha, and encouraged him, "Harris, as a pitcher, you must believe in yourself at all times. Your shots are not decisive enough. I need you to convert points when you are open. , be decisive."

Joha is in very good condition, but tonight's shots are always a bit off, probably because there is no backbone on the field.

The head coach didn't scold at this time, but kept encouraging him, so he naturally had to quickly adjust his state.

"Hey, Yang, I don't insist on your offense, but in the second half when Williams comes back, you may have a lot of trouble." Nash turned to Yang Yang and said, "Defensively, don't force him, your body I can't bear it."

"It's still the original strategy. By going around the front and not catching the ball for him, the inside line will make up in time, and be ready to double-team at any time."

This is the arrangement that Yang Yang received when he came on the court, but unfortunately he didn't meet Williams in the whole second quarter, so I don't know if he felt uncomfortable.

Since the second half appears, then go around the front defense according to the coach's intention.

"I understand." Yang Yang replied affirmatively.

After the explanation, Nash once again arranged running tactics for Yang Yang and Joha, using three-pointers to provide firepower.

After the locker room was set up, when the players left, Nash deliberately went last and quickly gave Yang Yang a hand.

Yang Yang didn't understand what was going on, so he had to ask, "Coach, what's wrong with me?"

Nash waved his hand and said, "Young, I need you to take over the game in the second half, can you do it?"

"Yes!" Yang Yang replied without hesitation.

Nash nodded in satisfaction and said, "Whether you can or not, we will see on the court. But I want to remind you that the game is won by yourself, not by complaining."

"With your current ability, I can't arrange more singles tactics for you. Only your running three-pointers will pass the ball to you. So in the second half, I don't want to see you have any complaint mentality."

Yang Yang didn't understand that his complaint was so obvious?
I didn't show much complaint, just unwilling.

The coach is right, tactics are won by oneself, not by complaining.

"Coach, I understand, don't worry, I won't let you down."
