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

The Lakers attacked, and LeBron James dribbled across half court with steady steps, and every touch of the ball seemed so calm and unhurried.

He looked up at his teammates, a sly look in his eyes.

He quickly gestured, indicating that the number three tactic should be used in this round.

This was a tactic they had practiced repeatedly in training but had never used in the finals.

When James completed the gesture, the Nets players found that the situation on the court was somewhat different from what he expected.

Anthony Davis, who was supposed to screen for him, did not move, but retreated to the corner.

Instead, it was Russell Wall who rushed up without hesitation and blocked the defender in front of James.

This sudden change left the Nets players confused.

They looked at each other, obviously not expecting the Lakers to let the guard come up to screen for James.

They could only passively move forward to defend and try to disrupt the Lakers' rhythm.

With the help of Wall's pick-and-roll, James successfully replaced the defender in front of him with the relatively short Brunson.

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and it seemed that he was planning to play a singles game in a mismatched position.

Although Brunson is also an excellent defender, his height and strength seem to be insufficient in front of James.

However, the Nets are a championship team after all, and have seen big scenes, so they will not be easily disrupted by sudden changes from their opponents.

At the moment when James broke through Brunson, Porzingis on the weak side immediately stepped forward to assist.

Like a cheetah, he keenly captured James' movements and responded quickly.

James frowned slightly when he saw this.

He originally planned to take advantage of the mismatched singles opportunity to score easily, but now it seems that this plan has failed.

He quickly adjusted his thinking and passed the ball to Kuzma who was half open.

After Kuzma received the ball, he jumped up and shot without hesitation towards Davis who was coming back to defend.

His movements were smooth and powerful, as if he wanted to concentrate all his strength into this ball.

However, just as the ball was about to leave his hands, he felt something was wrong.

His shooting touch seemed a little rusty, which gave him a bad feeling.

Sure enough, the ball drew an imperfect arc in the air and hit the basket hard, making a crisp "hit" sound.

Kuzma's face suddenly turned a little ugly. He knew what this ball meant to the Lakers.

At this moment, Cousins ​​of the Nets had already rushed to the basket.

Like a giant bear, he used his huge body to block the other Lakers players and grabbed the rebound.

After landing, he quickly passed the ball to Brunson.

After Brunson received the ball, he immediately rushed forward.

He was extremely fast, running across the court like a bolt of lightning.

As Brunson passed the half court with the ball, his eyes revealed determination and resolve.

With this shot, he not only wanted to clear his name, but also to give a shot in the arm to the morale of the Nets.

His eyes were fixed on Wall in front of him, the guy who had committed a flagrant foul on him before.

Wall was not to be outdone. He stared at Brunson like a cheetah ready to pounce on its prey.

He knew that this ball would be a head-on battle.

Brunson began to speed up, his steps steady and powerful, every step seemed to declare his determination to Wall.

Wall also stepped forward without hesitation, opened his arms, and prepared to give Brunson a "warm welcome."

However, just as the two were about to collide, Brunson suddenly made a quick change of direction.

His movements were smooth and swift, like a bolt of lightning across the night sky.

Wall was confused by this sudden change, his steps forward to steal the ball paused, and his body lost balance in an instant.

Brunson seized the opportunity and accelerated without hesitation to create a certain space.

He knew that at this moment, he had to act decisively.

So, one meter outside the three-point line, Brunson made a quick stop and jump shot, throwing the ball high into the basket.

The ball was shot so fast that Wall had no time to react.

He stared at Brunson's actions with wide eyes, but found that he could not prevent the goal from happening.

Wall could only jump as hard as he could and try to block the shot, but it was too late.

Moreover, because he used too much force, Wall lost his balance after jumping and he crashed into Brunson hard.

Although the force of this foul was much smaller than the previous one, Brunson was in the air and had no balance under his feet.

After being hit like this, he naturally fell to the ground.

However, at the moment he lost his balance, Brunson had already completed the shooting action.

The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air, like a meteor across the night sky.

The next second, with a "swish" sound, the ball went into the net.

At the same time, the referee's whistle sounded in time.

Wall was called for a defensive foul, which meant that Brunson not only made a three-pointer in this round, but also had to make an extra free throw.

Brunson sat on the ground with a satisfied smile on his face, and waved his fist hard in the air, as if venting his dissatisfaction with Wall's previous flagrant foul against him.

At this moment, he finally proved his strength and value.

Durant and Cousins ​​also ran over, each holding a hand, and pulled Brunson up from the ground. They patted Brunson on the head to express their appreciation and encouragement.

"Well done!" Durant said loudly, "This is the most favorable response to the Lakers!"

Cousins ​​also nodded, with a gleam in his eyes: "You let everyone see your toughness and determination!"

Wall on the side was a little helpless. He had been focused enough, but he didn't expect Brunson to shoot so boldly, and the key shot actually went in.

This 3+1 boosted the morale of the Nets and also made Wall feel a little pressure.

He looked at Brunson with a hint of fear in his eyes, knowing that this opponent was not so easy to deal with.

He secretly made up his mind to be more careful next time and never let Brunson have such an opportunity again.

In the domestic studio, the two commentators couldn't help but cheer loudly when they saw this scene.

"Oh, Brunson's shot was really tough!" Yang Yi couldn't help but cheer loudly, his voice full of excitement and praise, "He was fouled by Wall just now, but he immediately responded with his personal ability in the next two rounds. This is a real tough guy on the court!"

Wang Meng followed closely behind, his voice also full of praise for Brunson: "Yes, Brunson played this ball too tough. He was not affected by Wall's foul at all, but instead became more determined in his attack. This spirit and determination are really admirable!"

"Besides, look at the foul Wall just committed," Wang Meng continued, with a hint of ridicule in his tone, "that was a really wrong decision. Not only did it not have any positive effect, but it angered Brunson and made him even more ferocious on the offensive end. This is simply shooting himself in the foot!"

Yang Yi also nodded in agreement, with a smile on his face: "That's true. Wall's foul was indeed a bit excessive. However, this also happened to inspire Brunson's fighting spirit. Look at his current state, he is like an enraged lion, ready to launch a fierce attack on the enemy."

The words of the two commentators were like flashes of lightning, breaking the silence of the stadium.

Their voices spread through the television screens and into thousands of households, allowing every viewer to feel Brunson's toughness and determination.

"Brunson not only scored the goal, but also caused Wall to foul," Wang Meng continued, "This is simply the best response to Wall. He used his actual actions to tell Wall that no matter how you foul, I will not give in. I will respond to everything you do with my strength."

Yang Yi also added: "Yes, Brunson played a really wonderful game. He not only showed his personal ability, but also his team spirit. He knew that at this time, he needed to stand up and contribute to the team. He inspired the entire Nets team with his actions."

The words of the two commentators were like warm currents, flowing into the hearts of every audience member.

Their voices were filled with praise for Brunson, and made every audience member feel the power of basketball.

At the same time, the fans in the live broadcast room were also shocked by Brunson's tough performance.

They all praised Brunson in the barrage, and for a while, comments like "Brunson 666" and "Brunson is awesome" filled the entire screen.

"Brunson's shot was really tough!" a Nets fan wrote excitedly in the barrage, "He was just fouled by Wall, and then he immediately responded with his personal ability. This is a real tough guy on the court!"

"That's right, Brunson played the ball too tough!" Another fan echoed, "He was not affected by Wall's foul at all, but instead became more determined in his attack. This spirit and determination are really admirable!"

"Seeing Brunson scoring consecutively and even using a tough 3+1 to single out Wall, I felt so relieved!" A Nets fan wrote excitedly, "Wall's foul just now was really too much, but Brunson gave the best response with practical actions!"

"Yes, Brunson played a really great game!" Another fan agreed, "He not only showed his personal ability, but also his team spirit. He knows that at this time, he needs to stand up and contribute to the team. He inspired the whole team with his actions!"

The Nets fans' praise and excitement were beyond words, as if they saw their heroes fighting bravely on the court to win victory for the team.

In comparison, Lakers fans seemed a little lost and helpless.

"Hey, Brunson was really lucky with this shot!" a Lakers fan wrote sourly in the comment, "He must have been lucky, otherwise how could he have made such a strong 3+1?"

However, such words were quickly drowned out by the praise from Nets fans.

They all retorted: "Luck? This is not luck! This is Brunson's strength and determination! He has proved his worth and ability with his actual actions!"

"That's right, Brunson didn't make this shot by chance!" another Nets fan also wrote, "He responded to Wall's foul with his strength and determination, and made the Lakers pay the price. This is a real tough guy on the court!"

The atmosphere in the live broadcast room became more and more heated, and the discussions and arguments among the fans became more and more intense.

They expressed their views and opinions and cheered for the teams and players they supported.

"Brunson is awesome!" a Nets fan wrote excitedly, "He not only plays tough, but also full of wisdom and strategy."

"Yes, Brunson's play was really brilliant!" Another fan agreed, "Not only did he show his personal ability, but he also led the rhythm of the entire team. He proved his ability with his actual actions."

On the court, Brunson, standing at the free throw line, became the focus of the entire court.

He made the free throw steadily. This season, Brunson has become one of the most accurate players in the league with his 91.3% free throw shooting percentage.

When he has plenty of energy, he goes to the free throw line, which is basically the same as picking up points.

Davis passed the ball to James from the backcourt with a helpless look on his face. After receiving the ball, James immediately sped up and rushed towards the Nets' half.

His eyes revealed determination and resolve, as if he wanted to release all his energy in this attack.

The Nets players also quickly retreated, knowing that they could not let James score easily.

Durant even ran towards James, trying to slow down his advance.

However, James was strong enough when he rushed forward. He slammed his body into Durant's chest, knocking Durant back a step.

The scene amazed the entire audience, and James' strength and determination were fully demonstrated.

However, the Nets will not let James score easily.

James strode all the way to the basket. Facing Porzingis who was defending him, he took three steps and was about to make a layup against Porzingis.

But Porzingis showed no fear. He jumped on one foot and slapped James to the ground with the ball.

At this moment, the whole audience seemed to hold their breath, and everyone stared at this scene with bated breath.

Poor James was stunned by the slap from Porzingis and fell to the ground for a long time without recovering.

Although the referee promptly called a defensive foul on Porzingis, the shock of this scene took a long time to dissipate.

Porzingis showed his toughness and determination to the fullest, and told the audience with his actions that the Nets' way of dealing with the Lakers is to rather commit fouls than let the opponent score easily.

After seeing this scene, Nets head coach Lu Yong also gave Porzingis a thumbs up, saying that this foul was beautiful. Instead of letting James' fast break dunk boost the team's morale, it would be better to take him down with the ball.

This will send James to the free throw line, but he may not be able to make both free throws. At best, he will only be called for a foul.

Lu Yong's tactical intention is very clear, requiring the team to be tougher and more resolute on the defensive end.

Porzingis' defense in this round was the perfect embodiment of his tactical philosophy.

He used his body and determination to block James' attack, making it difficult for the Lakers to score easily. (End of this chapter)
