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

The game entered the most crucial fourth quarter, the score between the Nets and their opponents was deadlocked, and every offensive and defensive round was crucial.

Nets fans held their breath, expecting the team to launch an offensive in this quarter and widen the score again.

With the referee's whistle, the game restarts.

Brunson quickly carried the ball through half court, his steps steady and powerful, his eyes revealing firm determination.

Arriving at the top of the arc, Brunson began to organize the offense. He glanced around and found that his teammates were already actively running according to the tactical arrangement, preparing for the upcoming battle.

Martin, who came off the bench, was particularly active, and he mentioned setting a screen for Brunson in the high position. This was a well-designed tactical link, and Martin's height and size provided a perfect barrier for Brunson.

With the help of this pick-and-roll, Brunson successfully got rid of his opponent Wall's defense with just one step.

However, just as he was about to accelerate the breakthrough, he was met with help from another defensive stalwart of the opposing team, Davis.

Davis is an experienced defender and he judged Brunson's breakthrough route very accurately.

This time, he controlled the scale of his dive just right, bringing enough pressure to Brunson without leaving him too much space to shoot.

The atmosphere on the field suddenly became tense, and the fans' attention was focused on this offensive and defensive duel.

Facing Davis' tight defense, Brunson showed his excellent ability to adapt to changes.

He did not choose to force a breakthrough, but instead dribbled behind his back and easily passed Davis.

The move was both clever and sudden, catching Davis off guard.

After Brunson successfully attracted the opponent's double-team defense, he quickly passed the ball to Martin who popped out of the three-point line.

After Martin received the ball, he immediately became the focus of the field.

He stood firmly, his eyes fixed on the basket, as if he had already calculated the angle and strength of the shot.

At this time, James on the weak side had to step forward to assist in defense, as he didn't want Martin to shoot easily in this position.

However, Martin did not choose to force a shot, he keenly observed LeVert who was receiving the ball on the weak side.

LeVert is a calm player who always gives the team the greatest support at critical moments.

Martin passed the ball to LeVert without hesitation. It was a perfect pass, accurate and powerful.

After LeVert received the ball, he shot without any hesitation from outside the three-point line.

After the basketball left LeVert's fingertips, it began to spin at high speed, drawing a beautiful arc in the air, like a meteor across the night sky.

The fans' eyes followed the trajectory of the basketball, hoping that the ball would fall into the basket and bring valuable points to the Nets.

With a "swish", the basketball went into the net and the Nets fans cheered.

This goal not only gave the Nets a lead in the score, but also dealt a heavy blow to their opponents in terms of momentum.

LeVert's shooting movement is smooth and elegant, and his eyes reveal confidence and calmness.

This goal was just the beginning of the Nets' offensive.

The atmosphere on the field was extremely tense, with the cheers and shouts of the fans intertwined together, as if to overturn the entire stadium.

The Lakers attacked, and Wall dribbled steadily across half court.

This time, they planned to play a sophisticated tactical cooperation, with Wall, James, Kuzma and Davis working together to tear open the Nets' defense through continuous passes and cross-screens.

With determination in his eyes, Wall passed the ball to James and then quickly cut into the basket.

After James received the ball, he passed it to Kuzma on the left without any hesitation.

After Kuzma received the ball, he deceived the defender with a fake move and then passed the ball back to Wall.

This series of passes and moves were as smooth as flowing water, catching the Nets' defenders off guard.

They tried to keep up with the Lakers, but were always a step behind.

At this moment, Davis moved from the basket to the left side of the free throw line. He was in a semi-open state and just received the pass from Wall.

After Davis received the ball, he immediately felt the pressure from the Nets defenders.

But he was not at all flustered. Instead, he stood firmly, his eyes fixed on the basket.

Davis took a deep breath, then jumped up and took a mid-range shot towards the defender.

After the basketball left Davis' fingertips, it began to draw a beautiful arc in the air.

The fans in the stadium held their breath, waiting for the ball to land.

The basketball touched the edge of the basket lightly and then fell steadily into the net.

With a "swish!" sound, the entire Lakers bench was boiling with excitement.

The Lakers players cheered and applauded Davis' outstanding performance.

However, the Nets were not discouraged.

The offense also started to run and pass the ball actively.

This time, Brunson passed the ball to Durant as soon as he dribbled across half court.

He himself began to move without the ball, looking for the best offensive opportunity.

Durant grabbed the ball with one hand, used his body to block James who was trying to steal the ball, and at the same time observed the position of his teammates with his peripheral vision.

Soon, Martin used his teammates' continuous screens to get to the outside again.

Although Kuzma was following very closely behind him, there was still a distance of about half a meter between him and Martin because of the screen.

When Durant saw this, he passed the ball decisively without any hesitation.

After Martin received the ball, he jumped and shot without making any adjustments.

When he jumped, Martin's body was not straight yet, but the arc of his shot was very straight.

In order to avoid a foul, Kuzma could only stretch out his hand to interfere symbolically.

However, none of this could stop Martin from scoring.

After the basketball left his fingertips, it began to draw a beautiful arc in the air.

The fans in the stadium held their breath, waiting for the ball to land.

The basketball touched the edge of the basket lightly and then fell steadily into the net.

With a "swish!", the basketball went into the net again, making the entire stadium boil.

On the sidelines, Atkinson looked at Lu Yong with a smile on his face, with a hint of approval and surprise in his words.

"Lu, Martin played really well in the playoffs this year. When you originally selected him, I thought he was going to fail." Atkinson said with a hint of sarcasm. Obviously, he still remembered Martin's performance at the beginning of the season. Hearing this, Lu Yong looked at Atkinson curiously and asked, "Why do you think Martin is going to fail? His training attitude and game spirit have always been excellent."

Atkinson shrugged and explained, "Because other players have their own technical characteristics, and they are difficult to copy, even if they don't play well at the beginning of the season, they can quickly integrate into the team's tactical system. But Martin's style of play is a bit mixed. His style of play gives people a feeling that he knows everything but is not proficient. If he is the core of the ball, his strength is definitely not enough, but it is a bit of a waste to play without the ball. So I have been struggling with what kind of tactical system he is suitable for."

At this point, Atkinson paused, his eyes flashing with memories and thoughts. He continued: "I was always worried that Martin would not be able to find his position, but I didn't expect that Martin, who switched to a 3D style, would become so outstanding. His off-ball cuts can also bring threats, and his defense and rebounding have also improved a lot."

After hearing this, Lu Yong curled up his lips into a smile.

He knew that Atkinson's concerns were not unreasonable, but he was also pleased with Martin's efforts and progress.

"Martin's talent is indeed average, but his training attitude and competitive spirit have always been outstanding. He trains very hard and plays tough. I never doubt his determination and perseverance. I always feel that as long as he is given enough time and opportunities, he will be able to find his place." Lu Yong's words are full of trust and expectations for Martin.

Atkinson nodded in agreement. He continued, "Indeed, Martin's training attitude has always been very serious. He always works hard on the training ground to continuously improve his skills and physical fitness. His progress is obvious. Whether on offense or defense, he has brought great help to the team."

When Lu Yong heard this, a gleam of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

He knows very well that a player's success depends not only on talent and strength, but more importantly on attitude and hard work.

Although Martin's talent is average, his hard training and tough style of play make him an indispensable member of the team.

"I dare not say what kind of achievements this guy can make in the future, but as a qualified rotation player, he will definitely have no problem." Lu Yong's words were firm and confident.

He knew that Martin's potential and strength had not yet been fully demonstrated, but as long as he was given enough time and opportunities, he would be able to shine on the court.

Atkinson smiled approvingly upon hearing this.

He knew very well that Lu Yong's vision and judgment had always been accurate, and Martin's performance had indeed proved this.

As an assistant coach, he is also proud and proud that the team has such a hard-working player.

"Lu, you are right. Martin's future is indeed full of infinite possibilities. His hard work and progress have allowed us to see his potential and strength." Atkinson's words were full of expectations and confidence in Martin.

The conversation between Lu Yong and Atkinson continued, their eyes were always focused on the court, paying attention to the performance and dynamics of each player.

Every game is a test and challenge, and every player is an indispensable part of the team.

At this point, the game on the field has entered a white-hot stage.

The score gap between the Lakers and the Nets gradually widened.

The Lakers' Big Three - James, Davis and Wall - were all a little anxious. They knew that if they couldn't quickly equalize the score, they might lose the game.

In the offensive round, James held the ball. He had a firm look in his eyes and decided to launch the attack himself.

Facing Durant, the confrontation between two top players made the atmosphere on the court tense to the extreme.

James didn't hesitate at all and directly used his best skills.

Without using any skills, he relied entirely on his body and strength to force his way to the basket against Durant.

James' steps were steady, and every time he landed it seemed as if he was going to create a hole in the floor.

Durant was not to be outdone, using his long arms and excellent defensive skills to try to block James' offense.

However, James' physical fitness was so outstanding that he pushed Durant one step away and was about to score a layup.

However, at this critical moment, Robinson, who came over to assist in defense from the weak side, suddenly broke out.

He pounced on James like a cheetah, slapped the basketball onto the backboard, and gave James a slam dunk.

The atmosphere on the court instantly became boiling, and the Nets fans cheered and applauded Robinson's excellent defense.

However, at this moment, Davis under the basket stood up and grabbed the offensive rebound with his excellent explosiveness and keen sense of smell.

Davis launched a second attack without any hesitation.

Robinson tried to block Davis' attack, but Davis' explosive power was too strong. He pushed Robinson one step away and then jumped for a layup.

Robinson did not intend to give up this round easily and reached out to try to block Davis' shot.

However, his movement was a bit too big and he accidentally hit Davis' arm, causing a defensive foul.

Davis got two free throws, which gave the Lakers players a little relief.

Lu Yong, who was sitting on the sidelines, was somewhat dissatisfied with Robinson's defense in this round.

He felt that Robinson was too lenient on defense and did not put enough pressure on Davis.

So he stood up and shouted to Robinson on the court: "Be more ruthless when you foul, don't worry!"

Lu Yong's voice was very loud, not only Robinson heard it, but other Lakers players also heard it clearly.

They all looked at Lu Yong, their eyes filled with dissatisfaction and anger.

Davis' mouth twitched slightly, and he cursed in his heart: "Are you trying to beat me to death on the court?"

He knew that Lu Yong was shouting to him.

Lu Yong deliberately shouted so loudly in order to act as a deterrent and make Davis feel pressured.

After Davis stepped onto the free throw line, he steadily made two free throws amid the boos from the Nets fans.

The basketball drew two beautiful arcs in the air and then fell steadily into the basket.

"Swish! Swish!" The two crisp sounds of the ball going into the net made the Lakers players cheer.

These two free throws were crucial for the team, helping the Lakers to keep the score close and prevent the Nets from widening the gap further.

In the commentary booth, Charles Barkley and Kenneth Smith were closely watching every detail on the court. When they saw Lu Yong stand up from the coaching seat and shout at Robinson, "Foul harder next time," they couldn't help laughing.

"Haha, look at Lu, he's such a genius!" Charles Barkley said with a smile, his voice full of praise for Lu Yong, "He is worthy of being the No. 1 coach in history. Not only is he good at tactics, he is also good at psychological warfare. He simply treats the court as a chessboard and the players as chess pieces!"

Kenneth Smith couldn't help laughing. He nodded and said, "Yes, Lu Yong's psychological warfare is really good. Look at him, it's like he's telling Robinson: 'Go, kid, beat them up for me!' I bet the Lakers players must be trembling in their hearts right now."

Charles Barkley smiled even more happily when he heard this.

He shook his head and said, "I'm really looking forward to the expressions of the Lakers' stars now. Especially Davis, James and Wall, they must be confused now, thinking: 'Is this coach crazy? How dare he let us get beaten like this on the court?'"

Kenneth Smith also laughed, and he continued Charles Barkley's words: "Haha, that's right. I guess they are all thinking now: 'We just want to play a game, why do we have to endure so much?' But then again, this is the strength of Lu Yong. He can not only make his players full of fighting spirit, but also make the opponents feel uneasy and pressured."

Charles Barkley nodded in agreement, and then continued, "Yes, Lu Yong's psychological warfare is indeed good. But then again, these Lakers stars are not pushovers. Davis, James and Wall have all seen big scenes, and they will definitely not be easily defeated by Lu Yong's few words."

Kenneth Smith nodded and said, "Yes, they will definitely respond. The next game will definitely be more intense and stalemate. I estimate that Lu Yong will continue his psychological warfare strategy, and the Lakers players will also go all out to deal with it. This game is getting more and more interesting!"

At this point, Charles Barkley and Kenneth Smith couldn't help laughing again.

They know that the upcoming games will definitely be more exciting and intense, and they also look forward to the players bringing them more surprises.

"Honestly, I'm kind of looking forward to the Lakers walking out of the court after the game," Charles Barkley said with a smile. "But then again, they have to be careful not to get beaten too badly by the Nets players."

Kenneth Smith also laughed. He patted Charles Barkley on the shoulder and said, "Haha, that's right. This game will definitely be a bloody battle, but this is also the reason why fans like to watch the game." (End of this chapter)
