"There's a problem with our defense. The opponent broke through too easily.”
The players had just returned to the bench when the Nets coach, Kidd, said,""We have to compress the defense in the interior. We can't give Chu Feng the space to easily break through.”
"There's too much space on the field. We have to shrink our defense!”
"But there are two shooters on the other side. If the defense contracts, they can easily get a three-point chance.”
Garnett wiped his sweat and directly rejected the team manager's opinion.""I don't think this is a good choice. We should continue to insist on expanding our defense.”
"That's right. We can't expand our defense. That would give the Orlando Magic a three-point chance.”
Pierce also supported Garnett's point of view.""Think about how the Clippers lost to the Orlando Magic. Even if Chu Feng could keep hitting the basket to get points, two points would be one point less than three points.”
Two points was one point less than three points. This sentence sounded like nonsense, but in this environment, it made sense.
In Pierce's opinion, it was easier to accept Chu Feng getting two points than three points.
"If that's the case, then continue to stick to the strategy of expanding the defense and defend against the opponent's three-point opportunity.”
Kidd thought about it and agreed with the players.
Although he was a coach, both Garnett and Pierce were once big shots. Their analysis of the situation on the field was not necessarily worse than Kidd's.
The time-out ended quickly, and the players from both teams returned to the field.
The Nets had the right to play. Deron held the ball past the half court and found Garnett steadily. KG resisted a wave of Maxier and feigned a shot. He used his signature jump shot and scored two points steadily, helping the Nets stabilize the situation.
Moore threw the ball to Chu Feng as the offense and defense switched. Then he and Avraro pulled apart to the left and right of the three-point line. The Nets 'defenders naturally followed and defended. The space on the court was once again opened up.
"The Nets still choose to give Chu Feng a wide space to break through?”
"They were turned into a sieve by Chu Feng and were even forced to pause. Yet they still didn't choose to retreat and defend to restrict Chu Feng's breakthrough?”
"Then what's the meaning of their pause this time? Give the players some time to rest and breathe?”
The two commentators were puzzled by the defensive layout of the Nets.
Everyone with discerning eyes could see that the home team had been forced to call a pause by Chu Feng's breakthrough. In the end, the pause came back and the defensive side made no targeted changes.
What was this?
"Is this the confidence of a strong team?”
The commentator laughed awkwardly." I think the Nets 'strategy during the time-out was to let Chu Feng fight alone. They don't think Chu Feng can defeat the Nets' five All-Star level starting lineup alone!”
In fact, this was what the starting players of the Nets, led by Garnett, were thinking!
How was it possible for a rookie to change their defensive strategy and have no choice but to target him?
However, since the Nets didn't change their defensive strategy, Chu Feng didn't change his offensive strategy either. It was over with a sudden attack!
Joe couldn't even keep up with Chu Feng's first step in the one-on-one match. KG was also hesitating between jumping out to defend the mid-range and guarding the three-second zone. The Nets were pretty good at restricting the Magic's two shooters, but Chu Feng's defense could only be described as terrible.
Eight minutes into the third quarter, Chu Feng had already contributed 17 points and four assists in a single quarter. He was leading the Magic by himself, contending against the starting five tigers of the Nets!
"Chu Feng finally got off the field to rest amidst the howls of the fans. But before he got off the field, the Orlando Magic had already firmly grasped their four-point lead.”
The commentator on the sidelines looked up at the scoreboard as he watched the Magic replace Chu Feng with a dead ball.
88:84. It was another game with a high score. The leading side was the visiting Nets, which had a weaker record!
"Chu Feng has already contributed 36 points after three quarters. In my opinion, it's only a matter of time before he gets 40 points today!”
"Looking at the expressions of the basketball fans on the sidelines, it's not difficult to see that even with the starting five, the home fans are still being beaten by the visiting rookies!”
Just like the two commentators had said.
The hearts of the home fans were like a mountain cart, going back and forth. They were currently underestimating the team.
And the culprit behind all this was Chu Feng, who was calmly drinking water on the bench!
"Chu, do you really have the confidence to force them to shrink their defensive line?”
At the same time, on the Orlando Magic bench, the team's coach, Jacqui Vaughan, looked very calm, but in reality, he was nervous as he moved to Chu Feng's side."They don't seem to have any intention of changing their defense!”
To be honest, Chu Feng's tactical arrangements during the half-time break were achievable in Jacqui Vaughn's opinion, but they were also somewhat inappropriate.
What was inappropriate was that the Nets weren't like the Clippers. They didn't choose to double-team Chu Feng.
The only way the Magic could find space for their shooters was to let Chu Feng kill the inside lane and force the opponent to change their defense.
This was not an easy task. Once the Nets had a solid head, the Magic's two shooters would never be able to find three-point space.
From the looks of it, the probability of the Nets getting an iron head was extremely high!
"Whether or not they change their defensive strategy is something they should consider.”
However, compared to Jacqui Vaughn's nervousness, Chu Feng appeared very calm.""I'm only responsible for breaking their defense.”
