NBA: I, the god of the front

Yang Yang didn't quite understand why he didn't say it directly in front of everyone, but he wanted to say it alone. Is this a small matter?

No matter what the situation is, the second half must be more active. If you don't attack, the game will be over.

Later, D'Antoni talked about the tactics again.

It is still the previous tactic, which is also to protect the players. After all, in terms of physical consumption, the Spurs are much more relaxed, and they cannot run wildly with them all over the court.

Mills then spoke out about Popovich's sophistication, and D'Antoni replied confidently, "The axis of this tactic is the inside, but the scoring is not inside."

"We put two shooters at the same time, the purpose is to score outside."

"The old guy Popo is very stubborn, he only sticks to the inside to attack and defend, so we made this tactic unanimously. Now, do you understand?"

Mills slapped himself hard on the head as punishment for his cleverness.

"Hey, everyone let go." D'Antoni finally clapped his hands and shouted, "The inside is the core, why look for opportunities to shoot. Joha, Johnson, you must make three-pointers, and it depends on you in the second half."

Yang Yang is not surprised, D'Antoni has always looked down on him, even if Nash sent him, he would not have any ideas.

Of course, Yang Yang has proved to him that he can not only defend, but also attack.

I will prove it to him again tonight, 40+ points will definitely surprise him.

After a simple speech, Vaughn took the lead to walk to the arena.

Durant hurried forward and hugged Yang's shoulders to comfort him, "Yang, D'Antoni's character is like this, don't take it to heart."

Yang Yang knew that Durant came here because of what he said just now, but this will not affect him, it will only motivate him more.

On the contrary, a small move like Durant is very heartwarming, especially for marginal players, it may affect the entire career.

"Haha, that's very kind of you." Shrugging and laughing, "Don't worry, I'll do what you want. I played more aggressively in the second half, and I won't let you down."

"I know you can do it, keep going!" Durant patted his chest in satisfaction and continued walking towards the court.

In the arena, the Spurs players are already warming up, and Popovich and his coaching staff are discussing something.

The atmosphere doesn't seem so relaxed. Even if they win now, it doesn't mean they will win in the end.

He knows what's going on in the Nets' locker room, so he won't sit still.

Just as Yang Yang was about to go on the court and warm up again, Nash decisively called out.

Vaughn was also on the sidelines, clearly the prepared result.

"Yang, the defensive strategy in the second half will change." Nash said seriously, "You need to defend Murray, and you can't let him score easily again."

This is what Yang Yang wants to do the most. If he doesn't score, he can't let the opponent's core score.

Immediately nodded and agreed, "Okay, I will look after him."

Nash said affirmatively, "The three-pointers in the first half were not opened because the tactical execution was not in place. In the second half, you need to move more actively and shoot more three-pointers."

"Popovich doesn't like three-pointers, so the defense against you will not be too tight. As long as you are active enough, you must have a chance."

Yang Yang has been waiting for this sentence for too long. If he had said this earlier, he would not be so far behind.

However, what the coach said and the execution ability of the players are two different things.

He asked slightly worried, "Of course I'm fine, but Mills has the ball in his hands and he's the brain on the court, so..."

"Haha, don't worry, D'Antoni has told him that she will not make the same mistake again." Nash smiled confidently.

After hearing this, Yang Yang was naturally relieved.

Immediately, Vaughan talked about the situation of defending Murray.

In fact, Yang Yang knows how to defend against Murray. After watching so many game videos, he has a certain understanding of their tactics.

As long as he plays now, Yang Yang has the ability to do better.

The game started on time in the second half, and Yang Yang went straight to the starting lineup, replacing Johnson at the third position.

The Spurs kicked off, and Yang Yang stepped forward to lean on Murray instead of going around the front defense.

Murray is very surprised that they use the third position to defend the first position. Doesn't this give the third position Vassell more opportunities to attack?
"Hey, Vassell, run, you can ask for the ball in the low post." Murray waved and shouted while controlling the ball.

It is Joha who defends Vassell. The 196cm Joha is about the same height as Vassell. It is not easy to play in low positions easily.

"Go to the inside and pass the ball to the inside!" Popo rushed up and shouted angrily when he heard Murray's command.

Murray softened immediately, but he didn't dare to disobey the old man's order, so he hurried forward and handed it to Wasser.

Vassell passed back to Murray, who was running down, and Murray gave it to the inside.

Bolter started digging inside with the ball in hand, but Yang Yang didn't dare to double-team directly, and pretended to be double-teaming one forward and one back.

Sure enough, Boltel passed back to Murray, and Murray held the ball and was about to break through. Yang Yang's defense was already in front of him, and the speed was very fast.

Murray wanted to make a feint, swing the ball left and right, and then break through to the bottom line on the right.

But just at the start, the referee's whistle sounded, and a walking gesture was made, pointing directly at the Nets to attack.

"Don't make extra moves, just pass it straight to me, keep it simple!" Popovich roared very dissatisfied with this move.

Murray didn't dare to quibble, and quickly stretched out his hand to indicate that it was his.

Nash then looked at D'Antoni, very satisfied with the defense.

D'Antoni sneered slightly, squinting his eyes with an arrogant expression.

Looking back, Yang Yang slipped from the bottom line and ran to the top line with the help of Ade's off-ball screen.

Mills has broken through to the free throw line, and after attracting double-teams, he directly passes back to Yang Yang.

Yang Yang didn't expect that Mills would make a pass. After receiving the ball, there was already an open space, and he shot with his hands open after taking off.

As a three-point shooter, Yang Yang has already grasped the shape of his shots very well. As long as he is comfortable with the ball, the adjustment is only an instant.

Going into the net hollowly, he didn't relax after scoring a three-pointer, and turned his head to stare at Murray's leading defense.

Murray did not rush to push the ball when he received the ball, but waited for his teammates to be in place and played according to tactics.

The hand-to-hand combat of inside players began, and the Nets' defense was significantly strengthened.

Bolter's offense couldn't be opened, and Collins' offense was also unable to open after receiving the ball while Adelaide's body was heavy.

The ball returned to Murray's hands. Seeing that there was not much time to attack, Murray decisively signaled Boltel to come up to cover the breakthrough.

When Yang Yang saw that there was a cover, he stepped forward decisively to stick to it. When Murray saw the defense, he forced a breakthrough from the right.

He was going to use the center forward's pick-and-roll to break through again while moving, but after this acceleration, he realized that he didn't get rid of the defense at all.

But when Bolter ran into him fiercely to cover, Yang Yang raised his hand and was almost knocked over.

After a shout, he did not relax his defense and continued to follow, but at this time the referee blew his whistle and directly covered the foul.
