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

While Lu Yong and Atkinson were sitting on the sidelines communicating, Lakers head coach Vogel called a timeout again.

The Lakers seemed to have lost their rhythm and were beaten by the Nets with an 8:0 wave.

James, who was full of hope just now, now feels at the bottom of his mood.

He returned to the bench with a heavy heart, took the towel from his teammate and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

But anger and disappointment intertwined in his heart. He threw the towel to the ground, with a trace of unwillingness in his eyes.

Coach Vogel saw it all and felt mixed emotions.

He knew that James was like a wounded lion at this time, and any direct accusation might lead to greater conflict.

So he chose to remain silent, just looked at James deeply, then turned and walked towards other players.

"Strengthen our defense! We can't let them score so easily!" Coach Vogel arranged the tactics loudly, and his voice echoed in the stadium.

The players nodded to show their understanding.

The atmosphere on the Lakers bench was very tense for a while.

The players looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

They know how important this game is to the team, and now they are at a great disadvantage.

Coach Vogel paced back and forth, brow furrowed.

He knew that as a coach, he had to step up at this time and give the players confidence and strength.

"Listen, guys," Coach Vogel suddenly stopped and looked around at the players on the bench, "We haven't lost yet! The game is not over yet, we still have a chance!"

He walked to the tactical board and quickly drew some tactical diagrams. "We need to do better on the defensive end. Davis, you need to give the opponent more pressure in the paint. Wall, you need to be more active on the outside and force the opponent to make mistakes."

The players listened attentively, because they knew that giving up voluntarily and losing passively were two different things.

James also raised his head, but there was not much motivation in his eyes. He had basically given up in his heart.

In contrast, there was a rare relaxed atmosphere on the Nets bench.

The players left the field with smiles on their faces, as if they had just finished a training match rather than a crucial regular game.

Lu Yong stood on the sidelines with satisfaction in his eyes.

He watched the players walk back to the bench one by one, with expressions so relaxed and confident on their faces.

He knew that although the game was not over yet, victory was already beckoning them.

"Well done, boys!" Lu Yong's voice was full of encouragement and praise. "Keep up this form, and victory is just around the corner."

Assistant coach Atkinson also stood by, smiling and nodding.

He agreed with Lu Yong's opinion that the Nets did play very well in this game.

The players cooperated well and executed tactics very well, which made him full of confidence in the next game.

The players sat on the bench and shared their thoughts on the game with each other.

Someone joked: "It looks like we are going to beat the Lakers today!"

This sentence caused everyone to laugh.

In the relaxed atmosphere, the Nets' cohesion seems to be even stronger.

Lu Yong walked to the bench and clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention.

He smiled and said, "Okay, guys, don't relax too much. The game is not over yet, we have to make a last-ditch effort to win this victory."

He paused and continued, "I am very satisfied with your playing style during this period. But remember, there is no eternal winner on the basketball court, only constant efforts and hard work. So, don't let your guard down, we must strive to win the game in one go."

The players nodded to show that they understood.

They know that although the situation is good now, the game is not over yet and any relaxation may lead to all previous efforts being wasted.

With Lu Yong's encouragement, everyone regained their spirits and prepared to face the next challenge.

Atkinson also walked among the players, shaking hands with them one by one, conveying strength and encouragement.

He said: "You played very well! But remember, the game is not over yet, we can't be careless. Let's work together and bring the victory home!"

The Nets players are full of fighting spirit and confidence at this moment.

Everyone encouraged each other and prepared to step onto the field again and fight for victory.

With the referee's whistle, the game started again.

The Lakers took control of the ball and James quickly brought the ball to the frontcourt.

He scanned the entire court with sharp eyes, looking for opportunities to attack.

Porzingis, the tall and long-armed defensive stalwart, stood in front of James.

His long arms were like a barrier, trying to block the Lakers' attack.

James was well aware of Porzingis' defensive ability. He did not choose to confront him head-on, but decided to use tactics and wisdom to break through this line of defense.

Davis, Wall and Kuzma also quickly got into position, forming a tight tactical system with James.

This time, the Lakers intend to tear open the opponent's defense through exquisite cooperation.

James dribbled through half court and came to the top of the key.
He did not rush to attack, but calmly observed the situation on the field.

Porzingis defended tightly, trying to disrupt James' every move.

However, James did not panic. He used a subtle fake move to get past Porzingis and then passed the ball to Davis on the left.

After receiving the ball, Davis did not attack immediately, but quickly passed the ball to Wall on the right.

After Wall got the ball, he also made a fake move, as if he was going to break through, but suddenly passed the ball back to Kuzma.

This series of passes caused brief chaos in the Nets' defense.

Porzingis tried to keep up with the pace, but the Lakers' coordination was too exquisite for him to cope with.

After Kuzma got the ball, he did not stop, but passed the ball to Davis on the left again.

At this time, Davis had moved to the mid-range position, received the ball, and there was a wide open offensive space in front of him.

Porzingis realized that the situation was not good and quickly turned around to try to defend, but it was too late.

Davis jumped and shot, the ball drew a beautiful arc in the air and then fell steadily into the basket.

"Shh!"

The entire offensive process was like a carefully choreographed dance, every movement was just right and every pass was extremely accurate.

The Lakers' offensive coordination not only tore through the opponent's defense, but also demonstrated their unparalleled tactical qualities and team spirit.

After scoring the goal, the Lakers players high-fived each other to celebrate, and finally there were some smiles on their faces.

"Great! This is our team basketball!"

The few Lakers fans at the scene shouted excitedly.

"We have such a tacit understanding in our teamwork. This is the charm of Lakers basketball!"

Unfortunately, before the Lakers fans could be happy for too long, the smiles on their faces shifted to the faces of the Nets fans.

The Nets were on offense, Brunson quickly brought the ball across half court, scanned the court, and decisively passed the ball to Durant who was standing at a 45-degree angle on the left.

As the Nets' scoring weapon, Durant was already prepared to receive the ball. He caught the ball steadily, his eyes flashing with desire for victory.

At the same time, the Lakers' defensive core James also quickly came up and adopted a close defense strategy to try to limit Durant's offense.

This was a battle between spear and shield, with the two superstars engaging in a fierce offensive and defensive battle on the court.

Durant was not panicked in the face of James' tight defense.

He grabbed the ball with one hand and deftly placed it behind him, while slightly turning his body and using his shoulder to separate James.

This action not only protected the ball but also prevented James from stealing it.

Seeing this, James tried to increase his defensive aggressiveness.

He stuck close to Durant, trying to disrupt the opponent's offense through physical confrontation.

However, as an experienced scorer, Durant will not be easily shaken by his opponents.

Just as James tried to put further pressure on him, Durant seized the opportunity, stepped out with his left foot, and pretended to break through on the left.

This action was extremely sudden, forcing James to stick close to him to prevent Durant from suddenly accelerating and breaking through.

Durant has long legs and big steps, and each step is particularly large, which makes James feel tremendous pressure.

He was worried that once Durant passed him, the defense under the basket would be useless.

Therefore, the moment Durant stepped out with his left foot, James had to take a step back in advance and try to maintain his defensive position.

However, it was this step back that allowed Durant to seize the opportunity.

He immediately jumped up and shot the ball, his movement was done in one smooth motion without any delay.

By the time James reacted, Durant had already jumped to the highest point, ready to shoot.

At this moment, Durant seemed to have turned into the overlord of the air. He responded with a three-pointer using his best pull-up jump shot.

The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and then went into the net.

"Shh!"

The entire offensive process was thrilling and full of ups and downs.

Durant's calmness and wit were fully demonstrated in this offensive and defensive battle.

After scoring the goal, Durant smiled confidently and waved to his teammates to celebrate this wonderful score.

James seemed a little annoyed, shook his head, and secretly admired Durant's outstanding performance.

This game is extremely important for both sides, and every goal may change the direction of the game.

Durant's three-pointer undoubtedly brought the Nets a valuable lead and put the Lakers' defense in trouble.

The fans cheered one after another, and Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith in the commentary booth could not hide their excitement.

"Wow! Look at this! It's incredible that Durant can still hit such a three-pointer under James' tight defense!" Barkley shouted loudly, his voice full of surprise and admiration.

Kenny Smith also excitedly took over the conversation: "That's right, Charles, this is Durant's strength! He can always stand up at the critical moment and contribute key points to the team. Now there are only three minutes left in the third quarter, and the Nets are still leading the Lakers by 20 points. This score difference is not small!"

Barkley nodded and analyzed seriously: "Indeed, if the Lakers can't play a smooth offense in the next few minutes to narrow the gap, then with a 20-point difference entering the fourth quarter, this game will basically be decided."

Smith took a deep breath and continued, "Yes, the Lakers must speed up their offensive tempo now and can't play so slowly anymore. They need to score as quickly as possible and narrow the gap as soon as possible, otherwise this game will really be in jeopardy."

The two's words revealed their accurate judgment of the situation on the field, and also made the fans in front of the TV feel the tension and intensity of the game.

At this time, the Lakers players seemed to realize the seriousness of the problem.

They began to intensify their offense on the court, trying to narrow the gap.

Under the huge pressure of the score difference, the Lakers urgently need a strong counterattack to boost morale.

James knew he had to step up at this moment.

When the ball was passed to him, James did not hesitate at all and quickly launched a quick advance, trying to speed up the pace of the game and regain the lost rhythm for the Lakers.

James strode forward and headed straight into the Nets' restricted area.

He first cleverly passed Durant with a not-so-standard behind-the-back dribble, a move that not only demonstrated James' superb ball-handling skills, but also showed his determination to try and break through at critical moments.

After Durant was dribbled past, he could only look at James' back helplessly.

Afterwards, facing Porzingis who came to assist in defense, James used his signature move - pinching the ball and turning around.

He stuck close to Porzingis' body and forced a layup.

"Shh!"

This goal not only narrowed the gap for the Lakers, but also greatly boosted the team's morale. James' strong performance made Lakers fans feel somewhat comforted.

Looking back, the Nets attack.

Durant got the ball in the middle, pressed the game time, and chose a mid-range pull-up jump shot with three seconds left on the offensive time.

Although the shot missed, more than 20 seconds were wasted.

Davis secured the rebound and quickly passed the ball to James after landing, and the Lakers made a comeback.

This time, James also used the screen to force his way to the basket.

However, Robinson, who was guarding the penalty area, stepped forward in time.

When James tried to dunk, Robinson used his excellent physical fitness to provide strong interference.

The ball hit the rim and bounced high. This key defense once again blocked the Lakers' offense.

Davis jumped up at the basket for a tip-in, trying to save the attack.

But at this moment, Porzingis learned from what James had done before and lifted the basketball high with his hands.

Then, he and Davis fought for two or three penalty kicks under the basket, and finally kept the ball firmly in his hands.

Porzingis' performance not only demonstrated his physical fitness and basketball skills, but also his calmness and judgment.

After controlling the ball, Porzingis quickly passed the ball to Brunson to launch a counterattack.

Brunson received the ball and moved forward quickly, but as soon as he dribbled across half court, he encountered Wall's close defense.

Since Brunson is best at this kind of counterattack three-pointer, the Lakers are determined not to give him the opportunity to shoot easily.

However, Brunson did not choose to shoot wildly in this round.

When faced with tight defense, he immediately passed the ball to Mitchell on the weak side.

After Mitchell received the ball, he shot in mid-air, and the three-pointer went into the net.

This goal allowed the Nets to expand their lead again and put the Lakers' defense in trouble again.

Mitchell was very excited after scoring the goal and he celebrated while returning to defense.

The Lakers players looked dejected, knowing that the game was becoming increasingly difficult.

The big deficit gradually wore away the fighting spirit of Lakers fans, and their morale was extremely unstable.

They urgently need to find a breakthrough to reverse the decline, but facing such a strong opponent and such a huge score difference, this is undoubtedly a daunting task.

On the stage of the finals, every minute and every second was filled with tension and intensity.

The direction of this game gradually deviated from the Lakers' expectations. The importance of stable morale for a team is particularly prominent in such top-level competitions.

Once it wavers, the consequences are often disastrous.

With the decline in the previous few minutes, the Lakers players' faces gradually lost their confidence and determination, and were replaced by confusion and anxiety.

Their movements on the court began to become stiff and their cooperation lost its former fluidity.

In sharp contrast to this is the calmness and confidence of the Nets players.

They seemed to have smelled victory, and every attack seemed so easy.

The game continued, but the situation on the field became increasingly clear.

The Nets relied on their previous lead and began to play steadily, while the Lakers fell into deeper and deeper trouble.

The Lakers were repeatedly blocked on the offensive end and had many loopholes on the defensive end.

The Nets players seized the opportunity and continued to widen the score gap.

For Lakers fans, these two minutes seemed as long as two centuries.

They watched their home team struggle on the field but were powerless to do anything.

The fans of the Nets began to celebrate in advance, knowing that victory in this game was within their reach. As time passed, the psychological pressure on the Lakers players increased.

They began to rush for quick results, trying to reverse the situation by simply fighting alone.

However, with this mentality, it is more difficult for them to break the Nets' defense.

On the contrary, more mistakes occurred because of impatience.

The Nets played better and better, not only on offense but also on defense.

They seemed to have seen the championship trophy waving at them, and every player tried their best to win this crucial victory for the team.

Finally, when the red light on the timer came on, the third quarter was over.

The score was fixed at 102:75, and the Nets were leading the Lakers by as many as 27 points.

This is an incredible score difference and the biggest dilemma the Lakers face in this finals.

The Lakers players on the court lowered their heads and remained silent.

They knew that this game had become extremely difficult for them.

The Nets players cheered, hugged each other and celebrated this important moment.

This game was undoubtedly a huge blow to the Lakers.

They were once so close to the championship, but now, they are facing unprecedented difficulties.

The demoralization of the army, the failure of coordination, the imbalance of mentality... these problems need to be solved urgently.

At this moment, not only the players on the field and the fans outside the field were shocked, but even the experienced domestic commentators Yang Yi and Wang Meng showed incredible expressions.

"This is such an unexpected game." Yang Yi was the first to break the silence, his voice revealing a bit of surprise, "In the highly anticipated finals, there was such a big score difference in the first three quarters. This is really unexpected."

Wang Meng nodded and took over the conversation: "Indeed, the Nets are indeed strong, but the Lakers' performance today was also surprising. I originally thought that this would be a evenly matched contest, but I didn't expect it to be a one-sided situation."

"From the beginning of the game till now, the Nets have shown a very high level both on offense and defense." Yang Yi continued to analyze, "Their teamwork and individual players are very good, which put the Lakers in a great dilemma on both offense and defense."

Wang Meng also nodded in agreement: "That's right, the Nets' tactics were executed very well, and the players cooperated very well. In contrast, the Lakers seemed a little flustered in today's game, and they seemed to be unable to do their best both on offense and defense."

The two commentators' words were full of praise for the Nets, but at the same time they also expressed regret for the Lakers' predicament.

They knew very well that with such a score difference, it was almost impossible for the Lakers to turn the tables.

"It seems that it will be very difficult for the Lakers to turn the game around in the last quarter," Yang Yi sighed. "Unless they can suddenly explode and perform exceptionally well, this game will probably enter garbage time very soon."

Wang Meng also expressed a similar view: "It is true. Although everything is possible on the basketball court, the Lakers have too many difficulties to overcome when they are behind by such a large score. Unless a miracle happens, it will be difficult for them to recover from the defeat."

The two commentators' discussions and analysis resonated widely among the fans.

Their words not only reveal the cruel reality of the game, but also make people look forward to the direction of the next game.

Although the Lakers face huge challenges, the charm of basketball lies in the fact that miracles can easily happen.

Of course, the Nets will definitely not give the Lakers the chance to create a miracle.

On the other hand, domestic fans who were watching the game through the live broadcast room were equally dumbfounded.

No one expected that this highly anticipated finals would turn out to be so one-sided.

In the live broadcast room, the originally calm atmosphere was instantly ignited.

The Nets fans began to feel proud, as if they had been freed from long-term depression. They emotionally mocked the Lakers fans in the live broadcast room.

"Look, these are the Lakers you were clamoring for before the game? How did they become like this now?" said a Nets fan disdainfully.

"That's right, weren't Lakers fans quite arrogant before the game? Why have they become cowards now?" another Nets fan responded, his tone full of sarcasm.

Lakers fans naturally could not tolerate such an insult. Although the team was behind, their fighting spirit was not dampened.

One by one, they still responded stubbornly to the provocations of the Nets fans.

"This is just the first game of the finals, the outcome is yet to be decided! You Nets fans, don't be too happy too soon!" a Lakers fan retorted.

"That's right, winning or losing a game doesn't mean anything. The Lakers still have a chance, let's wait and see!" Another Lakers fan also expressed his point of view.

The dispute between the two sides became increasingly fierce, and the live broadcast room was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.

The Nets fans were jubilant, while the Lakers fans were furious.

"Lakers fans, stop fooling yourselves. How are you going to catch up with a 27-point deficit?" a Nets fan continued to mock.

"Hmph, everything is possible on the basketball court. The Nets shouldn't be too complacent. Be careful not to get too excited and end up in tragedy!" a Lakers fan responded unwillingly.

At this time, other fans in the live broadcast room also began to express their opinions.

Some support the Nets, while others stand on the side of the Lakers. Both sides hold different opinions and the argument continues.

"I think the Nets played really well today, but the Lakers also have a chance to come back."

"Comeback? Don't be ridiculous. You think it's that easy to catch up with a 27-point gap?"

"The game isn't over yet, how can you be so sure? The charm of basketball lies in its uncertainty!"

The live broadcast room was bustling with activity, as the fans' emotions were all affected by the finals.

They argued and shouted as if they were on the field themselves.

The result of this game also touches the hearts of every fan.

.........

Inside the on-site box,
When the third quarter ended, the cruel reality that the Lakers were 27 points behind the Nets weighed on the hearts of every Lakers fan like a boulder.

Such a score difference not only shocked the commentators and fans, but also made Lakers owner Jeanie Buss and general manager Pelinka, who were watching the game in the stands, feel unprecedented pressure.

Jenny Buss clenched her hands, her eyes revealing disappointment and anxiety that were hard to conceal.

She stared at the score on the scoreboard, as if trying to reduce the glaring number with her eyes.

Pelinka had a serious look on his face and a frown on his face, and he was obviously confused and worried about this sudden and tragic defeat.

"Pelinka, can we really not beat the Nets and win the championship?" There was a slight tremor in Jeanie Buss' voice. The question sounded like she was talking to herself, but also like she was seeking an impossible answer.

Pelinka took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, his eyes moving between the court and Jeanie Buss. "Jeanie, this game was indeed beyond our expectations, but it doesn't mean we have failed. On the basketball court, anything can happen."

"Maybe?" Jeanie Buss smiled bitterly and shook her head. "Look at the score, Pelinka. A 27-point difference. This can't be explained by a simple 'maybe'."

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Pelinka's face, and he had to admit that the situation in front of him was indeed frustrating. "Yes, Jenny, our performance in this game was indeed not satisfactory. But please believe that we still have time and opportunities to adjust."

"Adjust?" Jeanie Buss' voice suddenly rose a few notes. "We need more than just adjustments. We need victory! The loss of this game has had a huge impact on us."

Pelinka was silent for a moment. He knew that Jeanie Buss's concerns were not unreasonable.

The loss of this game not only concerns the honor of the team, but also the future of the entire Lakers. "I understand your concerns, Jenny. But please give me some time, I will find out the crux of the problem, and we will become stronger."

Jeanie Buss sighed and looked back at the court. "I'm not blaming you, Pelinka. I just... I just can't accept it. We've paid so much for the championship, are we going to give up so easily?"

"Of course not." Pelinka's eyes were evasive, and he said stubbornly, "We won't give up, we will fight to the last minute. Even though we are behind in this game, it doesn't mean we will give up. Believe me, Jenny, we will find a way to solve the problem."

The conversation between the two echoed in the box, with a tone of frustration and uneasiness, but more of it was hard talk.

Jeanie Buss and Pelinka's mood is just like the weather in Brooklyn tonight, sunny to cloudy.

In sharp contrast to the frustration of Jeanie Buss and Pelinka is the mood of Nets owner Joe Tsai at this time.

He sat in a luxurious private room at the scene, and the game process before his eyes seemed like a victory symphony tailor-made for him.

The Nets' big lead filled Tsai Chongxin's face with an unprecedented smug smile.

"Haha, look at the score, we really won a beautiful victory!" Tsai Chongxin's hearty laughter echoed in the private room. His eyes followed every wonderful moment on the court, as if he wanted to engrave these scenes of victory in his heart.

The female assistant beside him also felt the boss's joy. She smiled and responded, "Yes, Mr. Cai, we did play very well in this game. The players were in good shape and the tactics were executed very well."

"This is all thanks to our Coach Lu," Tsai said. "I spent a lot of money to hire him as the team coach and even got him to buy shares. This was a wise decision. Look at how strong our team is now. This is all thanks to Coach Lu."

The female assistant nodded in agreement: "Coach Lu is indeed a very capable coach. His contribution to the team is immeasurable. Moreover, he also knows how to motivate the players and let them play at their best in the game."

"Yes, that's what I value about him," Tsai continued. "Basketball games are not just a contest of skills and physical strength, but also a contest of wisdom and mentality. Coach Lu does a very good job in this regard. He always gives the players the right guidance and support at critical moments."

The female assistant nodded again. She knew Tsai's love for basketball and his expectations for the team. "Mr. Tsai, look at the current score. Can we celebrate in advance?" she said half-jokingly.

"Haha, of course we'll celebrate, but the game isn't over yet." Although Tsai was in a good mood, he didn't forget that the game was still going on. "We have to respect our opponents and the game. However, this game did show us the strength and potential of the team. I am full of confidence in our future."

Of course, there were more people who were moved by Lu Yong at this time than just the two team bosses.

Off the field, a different conversation was taking place.

Hollywood actress Hannah Murray has accumulated a large number of fans around the world with her unique charm and impeccable acting skills. But tonight she appeared on the basketball court as an ordinary fan just to support one person - Nets coach Lu Yong.

"Hannah, you have a very sharp eye for men," her best friend Emily teased. She kept glancing at the tall, commanding man at the sidelines. "Coach Lu is so elegant and capable. No wonder you have a special liking for him."

Hannah smiled lightly, with a hint of pride in her eyes: "Of course, Lu is not only outstanding in appearance, but more importantly, he has talent and perseverance. You know, I always admire people with real talents and knowledge."

"That's right," said another close friend, Susanna. "And the rumors about you two have been spreading like wildfire. It seems like it's true this time?"

"As you all know, the rumors from the outside world are always half true and half false." Hannah turned her head away mysteriously and looked towards the stadium, as if she didn't want to reveal too much.

Emily insisted: "Hey, Hannah, just admit it. We are your best friends, would we betray you? The look in Coach Lu's eyes is different. That kind of gentleness and appreciation is not fake."

Hannah was amused. "You two gossipers always try to take advantage of me. Okay, I admit that I do have a crush on Lu, and it's deep. But as for our relationship, I'll tell you when the time is right."

Susannah blinked. "Okay, okay, we'll just have to wait patiently. But, Hannah, you seem to be really into it this time. I've never seen you so devoted to a man before."

"Maybe," Hannah said softly, "When you really encounter some things, you will understand how precious they are. Lu, he is such a person to me."

The conversation between the three was relaxed and pleasant, with laughter from time to time.

Although Hannah and Lu Yong's relationship has not been officially made public, she has already regarded him as her partner in her heart.

This feeling becomes even sweeter and stronger amidst the jokes of best friends.

Emily suddenly suggested: "Hey, Hannah, since you haven't made it official yet, how about we help you plan a surprise to make your relationship more memorable?"

When Hannah heard this, a hint of anticipation flashed in her eyes: "Oh? Do you have any good ideas?"

Susannah smiled and continued, "Well, that needs to be planned carefully. But it must be a romantic and unforgettable moment that both of you will remember for the rest of your lives."

Hannah's heart was full of anticipation. She knew that no matter what kind of surprise her best friends planned, it would be part of the beautiful memories between her and Lu Yong.

And tonight, she just wanted to quietly enjoy the time with her friends and feel the happiness that was about to overflow.

In the noisy Nets home court, discussions were heard one after another, but Lu Yong, who was at the center of the public opinion whirlpool, seemed unaware.

He was fully focused on the game, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him. During the timeout, he high-fived the players who were resting one by one, celebrating every wonderful moment.

His eyes were firm and resolute, as if everything was under control.

After high-fiving, Lu Yong quickly gathered the players and arranged the next tactics in a concise and clear manner.

He spoke highly of the players' performance while also pointing out areas for improvement.

Lu Yong's voice was sonorous and powerful, and every word revealed his desire and confidence for victory.

As Lu Yong completed his tactical arrangements, the lineup for the final quarter was also rotated.

The two main players, Mitchell and Durant, remained on the court, their eyes flashing with desire for victory.

The remaining three substitutes are LeVert, Oubre and Robinson. They are ready to show their skills in the next game.

At the same time, the Lakers also made lineup adjustments.

The two core players, James and Davis, are still on the court and obviously have no intention of giving up.

Despite the huge points gap, they still wanted to struggle and fight for honor.

The timeout ends and the game continues.

The Lakers launched the first wave of offense. James directed his teammates to carry out pick-and-roll cooperation. He flexibly broke through on the left and cleverly passed the ball to Davis.

After Davis received the ball, he rushed to the basket like a beast, causing Robinson to foul.

The atmosphere at the scene was instantly ignited, and when Davis walked to the free throw line, deafening boos sounded in the Nets home court.

The fans were so excited that they booed at the top of their lungs, trying to disrupt Davis' free throws.

The pressure seemed to have some impact on Davis, who looked a little nervous at the free throw line.

On the first free throw, Davis took a deep breath and tried to adjust his mentality.

However, the ball bounced out of the frame and missed the target.

The boos from the audience became louder, as if they were going to overturn the entire venue.

Davis gritted his teeth and prepared for the second free throw.

This time, he finally made the free throw and got one point back for the Lakers.

Durant quickly served the ball from the baseline and quickly passed it to Mitchell to launch a counterattack.

After Mitchell received the ball, he rushed to the basket at full speed like an arrow.

With his agility and excellent ball-handling ability, he easily broke through the Lakers' defense and scored a fast break layup.

"Shh!"

This goal was like a hammer, once again expanding the Nets' lead.

The fans at the Nets' home court were completely excited. Everyone cheered and went crazy for the team's wonderful performance.

The Lakers players looked frustrated, knowing that the game was becoming increasingly difficult to save.

Over the next three minutes, the atmosphere on the court became increasingly tense.

Both teams scored goals, but the Nets always maintained a stable lead.

Every time the Lakers attack, it seems like a race against time, while the Nets appear calm and composed, as if everything is under control.

The game time passed by every second, and for the Lakers, every second was like torture.

They tried hard to catch up, but the gap could not be narrowed.

The faces of the Lakers players were filled with anxiety and helplessness, while the Nets players seemed more and more confident.

Five minutes into the game, Lakers head coach Vogel saw that the score gap could not be narrowed and could only make the decision with a helpless look on his face.

He waved his hand and replaced all the main forces, which was tantamount to raising the white flag and announcing surrender.

Seeing this scene, Lu Yong did not choose to kill all the players. He also waved his hand and replaced them with substitute players, letting the game enter garbage time.

However, even in garbage time, the Nets' substitutes did not let their guard down.

They continued to advance with great strides and showed their impressive strength on the field.

Every attack is sharp and decisive, and every defense is tight and powerful.

In contrast, the Lakers' substitutes seemed a little overwhelmed and unable to withstand the Nets' fierce attack.

As time went by, the game gradually came to an end.

When the whistle sounded to end the game, the score was fixed at 137:102.

The Nets defeated the Lakers at home with a huge advantage of 35 points and won their first victory in the finals.

At this moment, the entire Nets home court was boiling with excitement.

The fans cheered and celebrated wildly for their team's victory.

The players hugged each other, high-fived and celebrated with smiles of victory on their faces.

Lu Yong stood quietly on the sidelines, his eyes deep and firm, as if telling the world: This is just the beginning!
At the same time, on the Lakers' bench, the players lowered their heads and remained silent, with expressions of disappointment and unwillingness written all over their faces.

Coach Vogel stood there silently, his eyes revealing helplessness and regret.

He knew that this game was a heavy blow to the Lakers, and that the Lakers would most likely be eliminated from this year's finals. (End of this chapter)
