Coach: Coaching the Grizzlies at the beginning, playing the bantam

Back on the court, the game between the Lakers and the Nets is in full swing.

At this time, James stood under the basket with a dark face, his displeasure was obvious.

He waved to his teammate Bradley to move to the frontcourt and prepare to start a new round of attack.

After receiving Davis' precise pass, James began to dribble forward on his own.

His eyes were determined and his steps were steady, as if every step contained tremendous power.

Durant stood outside the three-point line and saw James' intention at a glance.

He simply lowered his center of gravity outside the three-point line, ready to face James' challenge.

James dribbled quickly to the top of the arc. This time, he did not observe the Nets' defensive formation as usual, nor did he pay attention to his teammates' running positions.

He accelerated suddenly and rushed towards the basket like a tank.

Durant reacted quickly and moved sideways to block, trying to contain James' attack.

However, James' physical fitness is so outstanding that he relied on his powerful strength to crush Durant's defense and went straight to the basket.

When facing Durant's defense, he threw the ball high and it hit the backboard and went into the net.

"Shh!"

After scoring the goal, James had a ferocious look on his face and showed off his strong biceps to the photographer, as if declaring his strength and dominance to the world.

Obviously, Porzingis's steal just now angered him, and he wanted to respond to this provocation with practical actions.

I have to say that James' personal ability is indeed amazing.

Not only does he have the physical advantage, but he also demonstrates a high level of breakthroughs.

In the next round, James launched an attack again.

Facing Durant, who was much lighter than him, he chose the same tank-like breakthrough.

Since Coach Lu Yong did not arrange a double-team tactic against James, James succeeded in two consecutive rounds of forced singles at all costs.

This time, he still faced Durant's defense and made a difficult layup.

Two consecutive layups not only helped the Lakers narrow the gap, but also greatly boosted the team's morale.

The atmosphere on the court was instantly ignited, and the Lakers players gathered around to celebrate these two key scores.

James stood in the center of the court, head held high and accepting congratulations from his teammates.

The Nets players were not frustrated, but they felt a little bit difficult when facing James who was giving his all.

It is not easy to win against such a powerful James.

But the game goes on and they need to cheer up and face the next challenges.

In the coaching booth, Nets assistant coach Atkinson frowned at this moment, his eyes fixed on James on the court.

Just now, James scored two consecutive layups. His domineering figure made Atkinson feel uneasy.

He couldn't help but turn his head to look at the head coach Lu Yong beside him, his face full of worry.

"Coach Lu, are we really not going to double-team James the entire time?" Atkinson asked anxiously, "His personal ability is too strong, and age doesn't seem to have left too many marks on him. If this continues, I'm afraid..."

Lu Yong seemed unusually calm. He smiled and interrupted Atkinson: "Don't worry. Look at James' forehead, it's covered with sweat. This guy's body is indeed terrifyingly strong, but he can't play the whole game with that style just now. It was just a flash in a few rounds."

Hearing this, Atkinson looked carefully and saw beads of sweat on James' forehead, which made him feel a little relieved.

Lu Yong continued: "If we choose to double-team him, it will give other Lakers players better scoring opportunities. Basketball is a team sport. I don't believe he can beat our entire team by himself."

Atkinson's worries eased a little when he heard this.

He nodded, expressing his approval of Lu Yong's tactical understanding and analytical ability.

However, a new question arose in his mind: "Coach Lu, why can you always maintain such a good attitude? It seems that nothing on the basketball court can make you anxious."

Lu Yong shrugged his shoulders lightly, still with a calm smile on his face: "That's because I always believe that everything on the court is under my control." His voice revealed a calm confidence, as if everything was under control. "As a coach, what we have to do is not only to formulate tactics, but more importantly, learn to observe and adjust. You see, although James is in a strong momentum now, we have found a way to deal with it."

After hearing this, Atkinson couldn't help but admire Lu Yong's calmness and rationality.

As a coach, it is so important to stay calm during intense games.

Only in this way can we make the most correct decisions and lead the team to victory.

The conversation between the two continued, but the situation on the field had changed.

James' two consecutive strong layups were like two sharp knives that pierced deeply into the heart of the Nets.

Between serves, Durant quickly gathered his teammates around him, and his frown revealed his dissatisfaction with the defense just now.

"These two defensive actions were my fault," Durant said in a deep voice, with a hint of self-blame in his tone, "It was too easy for James to break through."

As the leader of the team, he knows the importance of defense, especially when facing a superstar like James.

Claxton also stood aside, his face full of regret: "My assist defense speed was slow, I should have done better." He clenched his fists, as if he was upset about his mistake.

Just when everyone was immersed in the short-term defeat and encouraged each other to cheer up, Porzingis suddenly stood up with a firm light in his eyes: "Why don't you let me defend LeBron, Kevin, you defend Kuzma."

Durant was stunned. He didn't expect Porzingis to make such a suggestion.

Subconsciously, he wanted to refuse. After all, such an important task as defending James was not something that could be given lightly.

But on second thought, although Porzingis is an inside player, his height, wingspan and excellent lateral speed do give him a unique advantage in defense.

"Perhaps this is a better thing for the team," Durant thought to himself. He looked up at Porzingis with a hint of approval in his eyes.

Porzingis' proposal not only shows his confidence, but also reflects his sense of responsibility to the team.

"Okay, we can try it." Durant finally nodded and agreed to Porzingis' proposal.

This decision immediately caused a slight shock in the team. After all, strictly speaking, this was already a change in the defensive matchup arranged by head coach Lu Yong. But Durant and Porzingis are both core players of the team, and as the parties involved, they can often make better judgments.

Lu Yong is also willing to delegate power to them. Being an excellent team leader is not just about leading the team to win. There are many aspects that can reflect the differences between star players.

The teammates exchanged glances, some showed surprise, while others showed anticipation.

But no matter what, they all understood that this was an adjustment made for the team's victory.

Porzingis smiled slightly, his eyes flashing with desire for the challenge.

Durant patted him on the shoulder to show encouragement and support.

20 seconds later, the atmosphere on the field became tense again.

James held the ball and looked ahead with a firm gaze. He was ready to challenge the Nets again.

However, when he dribbled across half court, he unexpectedly found that the defender in front of him had been replaced by Porzingis, who was taller and had a longer wingspan.

There was a flash of surprise in James' eyes, but it was quickly covered up by his calm gaze.

He made a slight gesture, indicating to his teammates to move away, and he would continue to play alone on this ball.

This is his confidence in himself.

The away Nets fans booed and jeered, trying to disrupt James' rhythm, but the experienced superstar seemed to be in another world, completely unaffected by the outside noise.

James took a deep breath, tightly gripped the basketball in his hand, and prepared to launch an attack.

James moved, without any fancy moves, he just held the ball and forced his way to the basket.

Lao Zhan's steps are steady and powerful, as if every step contains tremendous power.

However, Porzingis is no ordinary person. He reacts very quickly and immediately turns sideways to keep up with James.

The two of them, one in front and one behind, rushed into the basket like two lightning bolts.

With his excellent physical fitness and rich experience, James seized a half-body advantage.

He took three steps calmly, ready to score a layup.

However, at this moment, Porzingis jumped high and raised his arms, trying to block James' attack.

The air seemed to freeze at this moment, and everyone's eyes were focused on these two superstars.

James and Porzingis' bodies collided fiercely in the air, making a dull sound.

This is a contest of strength as well as a competition of skills.

The next moment, an amazing scene happened.

James' layup was slammed out of the court by Porzingis!
"boom!"

One-on-one defense against James, Porzingis delivered a brilliant block!

The fans at the scene instantly became excited, cheering Porzingis' name loudly and applauding his outstanding performance.

After James landed, he watched the basketball fly out of the court with a surprised expression on his face.

He didn't expect Porzingis to be able to block his attack so cleanly.

...............

On the basketball court, every wonderful defense can instantly ignite the enthusiasm of the fans.

This time, when Porzingis blocked James' layup, not only the fans at the scene were excited, but even the domestic commentators Yang Yi and Wang Meng who were broadcasting the game live couldn't help but cheer loudly.

"Wow! Porzingis' block is so beautiful!" Yang Yi was the first to exclaim, his voice full of excitement and admiration.

As a veteran commentator, he has witnessed countless wonderful game moments, but Porzingis' defense still amazed him this time.

Wang Meng followed closely and commented excitedly: "Yes, this physical fitness is really outstanding! Porzingis's long arms and jumping ability are fully demonstrated at this time." His tone was full of admiration for Porzingis.

The two of them started to praise Porzingis' defense one after another.

"James is a superstar in the league, and his layups are usually difficult to defend, but Porzingis did it!" Yang Yi continued, his voice revealing his recognition of this defense.

Wang Meng also nodded in agreement: "Indeed, Porzingis not only has excellent physical fitness, but more importantly, his defensive awareness and judgment are very accurate. This block is the best proof of this."

As the two people commented, the enthusiasm of the fans was completely ignited. They applauded and cheered for Porzingis' wonderful defense, and the atmosphere on the scene reached a climax.

When the Nets fans witnessed this scene, the excitement in their hearts surged out like a tide. Everyone went crazy and shouted Porzingis' name loudly.

"Porzingis! Porzingis!" The fans' shouts rose one after another, converging into an irresistible wave of sound, echoing over the arena.

Their faces were filled with excitement and pride, as if at this moment, Porzingis was not only the savior of the team, but also the hero in their hearts.

As the shouts grew louder, the atmosphere on the scene became more and more heated.

The fans waved their support items, some held up signs with Porzingis' name on them, and some blew whistles and beat drums to cheer for Porzingis.

"Porzingis is awesome!" A young fan jumped up excitedly, his face full of admiration for Porzingis.

"This is our inside guardian!" Another middle-aged fan shouted, his voice revealing his admiration for Porzingis' defensive ability.

The hot atmosphere at the scene is not only reflected in the fans' cheers, but also in their actions.

Some fans even stood up and danced to express their excitement; others hugged the people around them tightly to share the joy and pride of this moment.

On the court, Porzingis also felt the enthusiasm and support of the fans.

He turned around, waved to the fans, and a confident smile appeared on his face.

At this moment, he was not only fighting for the team, but also for the fans who loved basketball and supported the Nets.

After being blocked by Porzingis, James looked back with a hint of unwillingness in his eyes.

He walked towards the bottom line with a gloomy face, and every step seemed so heavy.

At the same time, Porzingis high-fived his teammates one by one to celebrate this successful defense.

The Nets players had satisfied smiles on their faces; they knew how important this defense was in boosting the team's morale.

At this time, there are only 24 seconds left in the 8-second offensive time.

James served the ball from the baseline and passed it accurately to Davis.

After receiving the ball, Davis did not hesitate at all and used his personal ability to make a mid-range turnaround jump shot in the final moments.

This goal helped the Lakers continue to chase points and also slightly saved James' face for being blocked.

However, commentator Charles Barkley pointed out the Nets' problem sharply: "The Nets have not scored in three rounds. Someone needs to stand up at this time."

As soon as he finished speaking, the person who solved the problem appeared.

Durant took advantage of the pick-and-roll and received the pass from his teammate at a 45-degree angle on the left.

Durant faced James, assumed a triple-threat stance, and prepared to launch an attack.

Durant's eyes revealed determination and resolve, knowing that this was the time the team needed him.

James was afraid of Durant's explosiveness and didn't dare to get too close.

Durant tried several times and found that James was not out of position, so he decided to use the method he was best at, a direct jump shot.

James was shocked. Although he did not lose his position on defense, he still felt powerless facing Durant's pull-up jump shot.

James quickly jumped up to interfere, trying to prevent the goal.

Unfortunately, Durant's height and wingspan make his pull-up jump shot almost impossible to stop.

Even if James jumped with all his strength, he still couldn't cover Durant's shooting point.

Durant straightened his upper body, and his pull-up three-pointer drew a beautiful arc in the air, and then went into the net with a swish.

The scene was immediately filled with shouts of MVP, and it became very lively.

With this pull-up three-pointer, Durant not only helped the Nets stabilize the situation, but also reignited the enthusiasm of the fans.

James watched Durant's celebration after scoring the goal and couldn't help but sigh at the strength of this old rival.

Durant also knew the importance of this goal and waved to his teammates with a relaxed look on his face. (End of this chapter)
