Coach: Coaching the Grizzlies at the beginning, playing the bantam
Chapter 580: Cut at each other?
At this moment, Lakers head coach Frank Vogel, who was standing on the sidelines, suddenly had an idea. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle and he captured a subtle weakness of the Nets.
The Nets' fouls in this quarter have accumulated to a critical moment, and standing in the Nets lineup at this moment is the big center Robinson, who is famous for his poor free throw shooting.
Vogel thought to himself: Since you are using the "cut James" tactic to target our LeBron, why can't I give them a taste of their own medicine?
Thinking of this, Vogel's mouth curled up into a sly smile, and he quickly clasped his hands into a trumpet shape, shouting to the players on the court: "Next, we will also use the hacking tactic! Send Robinson to the free throw line!"
This command was like a flash of lightning, instantly breaking the silence of the stadium.
The Lakers players immediately understood the coach's intention. The clever Kuzma reacted the fastest. He rushed towards Robinson like a cheetah and gave him a bear hug that was neither polite nor gentle.
This sudden foul caught Robinson off guard and also caused a heated discussion between two well-known domestic commentators, Yang Yi and Wang Meng, on the sidelines.
"Haha, Vogel's reaction speed is amazing!" Yang Yi's laughter was clearly heard by every fan through the microphone. "When he saw Robinson on the court, he immediately decided to foul him. Robinson's free throw percentage this season barely reached 50%, which is lower than James. If both teams continue to 'cut' each other like this, this game will be really interesting!"
Wang Meng couldn't help laughing, his voice was a bit teasing, "Indeed, according to common sense, it's not appropriate for the Lakers to use the hacking tactic. Robinson hardly played tonight, and he's in plenty of energy, so his free throw percentage might be higher. But the Lakers have no choice now. James was 'hacked', and they can't even organize an effective offense. They can't just sit and watch the Nets play a smooth offense, right? So, sending Robinson to the free throw line is also a helpless move."
Yang Yi nodded and continued to analyze: "However, although this move is ruthless, it also has risks. Coach Lu Yong of the Nets is no pushover. Will he replace Robinson after seeing this? After all, the Nets' offense has been pretty good recently, and they also have players at the center position who can shoot free throws accurately. If Robinson is replaced, the impact on the situation will not be that big."
Wang Meng took over the conversation with a hint of expectation in his tone: "Yes, this is the game. Coach Lu Yong must be considering whether to keep Robinson on the court and endure the Lakers' foul tactics, or to replace him with a player who is more stable in free throws to maintain the team's offensive fluidity. This is really an unpredictable choice."
As the two commentators discussed, the situation on the court became more confusing.
With his eyes focused on the court again, Robinson stepped onto the free throw line with a difficult look on his face.
In the last round, when the Nets implemented the "cut James" tactic against the Lakers' superstar James, he was still standing on the sidelines, secretly proud of himself, as if he saw a pleasure of revenge.
However, things have changed, and now it is his turn to stand in this decisive position. Facing the gazes of countless eyes and the slightly mocking smiles of the Lakers players, Robinson couldn't help feeling an indescribable frustration in his heart.
He took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil, and then carefully aimed at the basket.
However, as if disturbed by some invisible force, his first free throw actually missed the basket, and then the second free throw was not spared and bounced directly out of the basket.
Missing both free throws not only caused the Nets to lose a valuable offensive round, but also dealt a severe blow to Robinson's self-confidence.
Davis was quick to grab the rebound and quickly pass the ball to James.
After passing the ball, Davis did not rush to move forward, but stood there with a sharp gaze, as if he had already seen through everything that was going to happen next.
He knew that the Nets would definitely use the "cut James" tactic again, and this time, they had to be prepared.
Sure enough, the next second, Martin pounced on him like a cheetah and fouled James directly.
James showed a bitter smile, shook his head helplessly, and then stood on the free throw line again.
This time, he seemed more focused and determined.
However, the first free throw hit the front of the basket with a thud and missed.
Seeing this, Lu Yong decisively made substitutions.
He waved his hand, signaling Robinson to leave the court and replace him with Oubre.
This substitution adjustment did not surprise anyone, because as a forward shooter, Oubre's three-point shooting percentage this season is as high as 40%, and his free throw shooting percentage is as high as 87.6%.
Moreover, he has not played tonight and is full of energy, so free throws are almost easy for him.
After Oubre came on the court, he immediately walked towards Martin. He whispered in Martin's ear: "The coach told me to play power forward and you to play center."
Although Martin felt a little strange, after all, he was only a little over two meters tall, but since Coach Lu Yong said so, he would definitely do it.
As a result, the Nets' lineup instantly became the "Death Five".
Although this lineup looks very small, it has unique power in Lu Yong's tactical system.
After the substitution, James got his second free throw.
This time, he was lucky. After seven or eight seconds, the ball hit the basket with a swish.
The Lakers made one of two free throws, and the score difference between the two sides remained within one round.
However, the competition in this game is far from over.
In the audience, two legends of Chinese basketball, Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, were sitting together, witnessing this unprecedented "hacking" battle.
When Lakers head coach Vogel decided to implement the "cutting" tactic against the Nets' big center Robinson, the whole stadium was boiling.
In the audience, Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian's expressions also seemed a little strange, and it could even be said that they were at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
The two of them smiled at each other, as if they were watching a farce.
"It seems like Vogel was really cornered." Yao Ming shook his head and said with a smile, "They actually started to hack each other. This finals was really interesting. I think it's the only one in history and will go down in history."
Yi Jianlian couldn't help laughing. He patted Yao Ming on the shoulder and said, "Yeah, this game is really getting more and more unexpected. But I think if the Lakers keep cutting like this, the Nets will definitely be able to respond."
As soon as he finished speaking, Nets head coach Lu Yong made a substitution.
He decisively replaced Robinson with Oubre.
This change made both Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian's eyes light up.
"It seems that Coach Lu Yong was well prepared," Yao Ming sighed. "With Oubre on board, the Nets' free throw line has become much more stable. This time, the Lakers probably won't be able to cut it down."
Yi Jianlian nodded in agreement: "That's right. With Robinson off the court, the Nets have no loopholes. Next, it depends on whether the Nets can seize the opportunity. I think they will still have the advantage."
The two continued to chat, but their eyes never left the court.
"The Lakers are in a really tough spot this time," Yao Ming said. "James's being cut has a huge impact on them. However, Coach Vogel's ability to adjust is still very strong. Let's see how he will deal with it next."
Yi Jianlian nodded and said, "Yes, James is the core of the Lakers. After he was cut, the Lakers' offense and defense were greatly affected. However, basketball games are like this, there will always be some unexpected situations. The key is whether the team can withstand the pressure and persevere to the end."
With Robinson's departure, the Lakers' "hacking" tactics instantly lost their target. The Nets were finally able to free themselves from the suffocating defensive pressure and return to their familiar offensive rhythm.
Inside the Staples Center, Nets fans cheered one after another, hoping that the team would take this opportunity to launch a fierce counterattack.
Durant dribbled the ball across half court, his eyes firm and calm.
As the leader of the Nets, he knew that the team needed him to step up and lead everyone out of the predicament.
He came to the top of the arc and began to organize the team's offense.
His eyes quickly scanned among his teammates, looking for the best offensive opportunity.
At this time, Oubre, who had just come on the court, was like a flash of lightning, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
He used the cover of his teammates and started to move flexibly.
Oubre's figure shuttled across the court like a cheetah looking for prey.
His speed, agility and keen insight into the game make him a sharp knife on the Nets' offense.
Through continuous screens, Oubre finally found an opportunity to cut to the basket.
He seemed to see the dawn of victory, and there was a determination in his eyes.
And Durant, as the core of the team, also captured this opportunity.
He passed the ball without any hesitation.
While catching the ball, Oubre made a gorgeous turn.
His turn was as quick as a whirlwind, catching Kuzma, who was defending him, off guard.
Kuzma has been playing for a long time, his physical condition has declined seriously, and his attention has begun to distract.
Faced with Oubre's sudden turn, he tried to react, but it was too late.
Oubre easily left Kuzma behind, with only the basket and the desire to win in his eyes.
Seeing this, Davis immediately stepped forward to assist in defense.
However, no matter how fast he is, he cannot catch up with Oubre's lightning-fast breakthrough.
Before Davis could get to the position, Oubre had already left the ground with both feet and flew into the air.
At this moment, time seems to have frozen.
Everyone's eyes were on Oubre, looking forward to his next move.
And Oubre did not disappoint everyone's expectations.
With a bang, he slammed the ball into the basket with a powerful one-handed slam dunk.
This shot not only demonstrated Oubre's excellent physical fitness and outstanding basketball skills, but also ignited the enthusiasm of the Nets fans at the scene.
They cheered loudly, as if they saw hope for the team to turn the tables.
And Oubre himself waved his fist after landing to celebrate his outstanding performance.
This offensive and defensive round is undoubtedly a microcosm of the Nets' counterattack.
After losing Robinson as a foul target, the Nets were finally able to unleash their offensive firepower.
Durant's organization and Oubre's breakthrough have become the team's two major weapons on the offensive end.
The Lakers, on the other hand, seemed a little at a loss.
They originally thought that they could disrupt the Nets' rhythm through the "hacking" tactics, but they didn't expect that this would give their opponents an opportunity to counterattack.
Lu Yong's decisive substitution directly disrupted the Lakers' deployment. Even Lakers head coach Vogel had no way to deal with this situation.
The five Nets players on the court are all more accurate than each other in free throw shooting. Who else can he shoot at?
You can't just cut Durant, right?
That's simply seeking death!
Yang Yi and Wang Meng in the studio were also deeply shocked by Oubre's dunk.
The two of them couldn't help but cheer loudly, as if they were also infected by Oubre's passion.
Their voices spread throughout the live broadcast room through the microphone, allowing more people to feel Oubre's charm and strength.
"Wow! Oubre's dunk was so amazing!" Yang Yi exclaimed, "His athletic talent is really not exaggerated. Look at the position where he jumped, more than one meter away from the basket! From such a long distance, he was able to jump easily and complete a slam dunk. This is incredible!"
Wang Meng also nodded in agreement: "Yes, Oubre's physical fitness is really excellent. His explosive power and jumping ability have reached an amazing level. Moreover, look at his dunking movements, how smooth and powerful! This is simply a visual feast!"
Then, Yang Yi noticed Davis's reaction speed in defense: "But, having said that, Davis's reaction speed in defense just now seemed a bit slow. It's not like his usual level."
Hearing this, Wang Meng also carefully recalled the previous defensive round: "Yes, you are right. Davis has been on the court for too long, and he is obviously a little slow at the moment. His speed is inevitably reduced. Moreover, the position where Oubre just jumped did catch Davis off guard. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for an inside player to suddenly dunk at this position. This requires a very strong explosive power."
"That's right," Yang Yi continued, "Oubre had just come on the court and was in peak physical condition. Moreover, his athletic talent allowed him to dunk from such a long distance. So, by the time Davis reacted, it was already too late. Oubre's dunk not only demonstrated his strength, but also boosted the morale of the Nets team."
The two became more and more excited as they talked, as if they were also infected by Oubre's passion.
Their voices echoed in the studio and were carried throughout the live broadcast room through the microphone.
The fans were also infected by their enthusiasm and cheered for Oubre and the Nets. (End of this chapter)
