"Without Nash, would Brooklyn really be a headless fly?"
"But in fact, it's not!"
"The nominal head coach of the Nets is Steve, but it is Jacques who does the actual work."
This is a topic discussed privately among the players in the Nets locker room.
At this time, Shamet was the first to break the silence, "I have to say, without Nash, the Nets are really like a group of headless flies."
Cabaro nodded, "Yes, we look completely disorganized."
Irving sat next to him and never spoke, but he was obviously dissatisfied with the current situation.
"Actually, the Nets are a capable team." Bai Qiang suddenly said, "We need a commander, and that person is Jacques."
Among the Nash die-hards, only Bai Qiang was named in the Nets locker room.
They all turned to look at Bai Qiang in unison, with questions on their faces: "What?"
"Bai, do you know what you are talking about?" Shameidi asked.
"Yeah, we all think Steve is our head coach," Cabaro echoed.
Owen also looked at Bai Qiang, "How could you think so?"
Bai Qiang looked at everyone, "Steve has disappeared. The Nets have no head coach now, and we can only rely on ourselves."
Everyone looked at each other. It was true that Nash was missing, but would he not come back?
It’s not like the people at the police station are working for a living, so they don’t know how to look for it?
"Bai is right!" A voice suddenly sounded.
Everyone looked at Durant.
Durant remained silent, but now he spoke with a serious tone, "There is no news from Steve, but we can't sit still and wait. The Nets need to choose a new head coach."
Durant is the team boss and the authority!
Bai Qiang was not afraid at all and continued: "There are two voices now, one is to let Jacques take over, and the other is to wait for Steve. But in my opinion, Jacques is the best candidate."
Shamet frowned, "Why?"
Bai Qiang said: "Steve was taken away by a group of men in black. Who can be sure how long it will take for him to come back? And Jacques already has prestige within the Nets. The most important thing is that Jacques is better than history on the tactical board. Tiff is more flexible.”
"I agree with Bai's point of view. Our first priority is to defeat the opponent in front of us. As for finding Steve, the police will make an accurate decision!"
Durant once again stated his position. At this moment, he is the absolute authority.
"But, we don't have a head coach!" Shamet was still a little worried.
Bai Qiang glanced at everyone and said: "Kevin is right! Now, the most important thing we should do is to concentrate on the game. As for the head coach, I think Jacques is the best candidate."
"I agree!" Jeff Green was the first to express his stance.
"I agree too!" Bruce Brown followed closely.
Irving did not speak, but it could be seen from his expression that he was also in favor of letting Jacques be the head coach.
…
"We can't let Vaughn be the savior of the Nets!"
"We want to defeat Brooklyn, and we can do whatever it takes when necessary!"
The main topic among the Bucks players has changed from "targeting Durant" to "how to restrict Vaughn."
…
On June 8, 2021, the Nets ushered in a second game with the Bucks.
Jacques Vaughn once again becomes the Nets' interim head coach.
As soon as he took office, he brought earth-shaking changes to the Nets.
Before the game started, Jacques Vaughn arranged a very targeted tactic for the Nets.
He allowed Durant and Irving to contain the Bucks' defensive core Antetokounmpo and Holiday on the offensive end.
Bai Qiang leads a group of role players and constantly attacks the Bucks' inside line.
The scene turned and the game had just entered the second quarter.
The shooting touch of the two teams was not good, and the score never opened.
Antetokounmpo used his body to get to the basket and completed a dunk under Durant's defense.
Looking back, Durant also took advantage of his height to eat the alphabet mushroom and complete a one-handed dunk.
The audience cheered one after another, and both teams seemed to be in the state.
However, the turning point soon came.
Alphabet Mushroom caused Irving to foul and get to the free throw line.
A deafening countdown instantly sounded in the Barclays Center Arena: ten, nine, eight...
Even if Alphabet Mushroom is prepared for it, it is inevitable that there will be fluctuations in mentality.
He held the ball against his chest and took deep breaths to adjust his heart rate.
10 seconds passed in a blink of an eye. Before Alphabet Mushroom could complete its preparations, the referee blew the illegal whistle.
Worlds, full of wonders!
Some smart fans played the video of Bolt's 100-meter race on their mobile phones and compared it with Alphabet's free throw.
In the eyes of fans, Alphabet's movements are like the sprint god Usain Bolt sprinting 100 meters.
Bolt is recognized as the number one sprinter in the world, and his 100-meter record has been maintained for a full ten years!
The performance of Alphabet Mushroom during free throws was like Usain Bolt sprinting 100 meters, using all his strength from the start to the end.
Sadly, Alphabet's free throw was taken just after Bolt finished sprinting 100 meters.
The fans in the stadium were so amused by this scene that they held their mobile phones and kept filming this clip.
Antetokounmpo's second free throw was taken hastily, and there was no doubt that the iron was struck.
The Nets seized the opportunity and were all equipped with weapons, not giving their opponents a chance to struggle.
Vaughn always keeps Durant and Ou Shenxian on the court, the main purpose is to contain the opponent.
This is in sharp contrast to Nash's tactics, which only let superstars play in isolation but never tap potential players.
The two giants opened up on the outside, while Bai Qiang and other players carried explosive bags and dug inside!
Bai Qiang seems to be in a no-man's land, taking everything inside.
The Nets have gained momentum and are going smoothly, but the Bucks can only watch as the Nets widen the score.
In the end, Brooklyn won its second victory in the series with a 14-point lead.
Nets players gathered around excitedly, chanting "Fight for New York!"
Jacques Vaughan danced excitedly on the sidelines and did not forget to show his scissor hands to the camera.
Durant and Irving smiled at each other and hugged each other tightly.
Bai Qiang was sitting on the bench, closing his eyes and concentrating. Although he was calm on the outside, he was so excited inside that he couldn't control himself.
After the game, the atmosphere in the Nets locker room was very joyful.
Bruce Brown took out a bottle of champagne and poured it on Jacques Vaughn's head, "Coach, this bottle of wine is for you!"
It seems that the entire series is a foregone conclusion...
