[Highlight] Joe Mazzulla for COTY | B2B Clutch Sequences to force 2OT down 6 against the Nets
Baylor did a great job looking off the D, but Hugo being that wide open on a corner three on the same side as the ball is absolutely braindead defending.
Scal pointed it out postgame - Joe saw that they were running a zone scheme to protect the 3pt line, so if he sent Jaylen and Hugo through the paint the defender there would have to choose which one to stay with and the other would get open.
If you watch the replay porter starts on Hugo on the far side and porter follows Hugo on his cut under the basket. But then Jaylen brown cuts straight to the paint and ends up wide open because the defenders on the break are in zone at the three point line.
Porter and Claxton both see Jaylen Brown wide open and take a step towards him and that’s how Hugo ends up wide open.
Other players on the floor were hauser, Pritchard and JB
You don’t need to defend the inbound. They could have stacked the three point line and doubled one of those three.
Hugo Gonzalez.
Jaylen’s cut there was super important too because it made MPJ think he was going to the rim and distracted him
Mosely in these situations: give the ball to our worst 3pt shooter and put him in an ISO 32’ from the basket
they ran the Valpo Bryce Drew play as a throw in, that’s bad ass
love Mazulla
The nets that just lost to the struggling Knicks?
By nearly 60 points, too. What a strange way to support your argument.
And?
This is more of the trash defense of the tanking Nets. But good try Joe.
