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

"Dear audience, welcome back to this exciting game!" Yang Yi's voice was transmitted through the TV screen to the ears of every audience member, and his tone was filled with excitement that was difficult to conceal.

"That's right, this game is getting more and more exciting. Every minute of the matchup between the Lakers and the Nets is full of suspense." Wang Meng echoed.

The timeout ended and the players returned to the court.

Lakers' LeBron James looked a little refreshed after a short rest.

He stood on the sidelines, took a few deep breaths, and his eyes became firm again.

"James seems to have recovered well. Wang Meng, do you think he can perform well in the next game?" Yang Yi asked.

"Of course, Yang Yi, James is a natural fighter. He will never give up the game easily." Wang Meng responded.

The game continued and the Lakers took the offensive turn.

Facing Porzingis' defense, James faked a shot from outside the three-point line and then forced a breakthrough to the basket.

Relying on his strength advantage, he pushed Porzingis all the way to the penalty area.

Seeing this, Durant was about to step forward to assist in defense, but James decisively passed the ball to Kuzma on the right.

"James' pass was really timely, he saw Kuzma's position." Yang Yi exclaimed.

After Kuzma received the ball, he shot a three-pointer without hesitation.

This is the position he is better at, the 45-degree angle on the right.

However, the basketball hit the back edge of the basket, bounced high, and failed to make the shot.

"Oh, what a pity! Kuzma is usually very accurate in this position." Wang Meng said with some regret.

However, at this moment, a dark shadow suddenly flashed by.

James actually rushed into the basket, jumped high, grabbed the basketball with both hands in the air, and completed a powerful dunk!

"boom!"

After scoring the goal, James turned around and looked at Porzingis, with a hint of provocation in his eyes.

"Wow! James' tip-in! It's amazing! Was he just provoking Porzingis?" Yang Yi shouted excitedly.

"Haha, it seems that James is in really good shape tonight. He just made a tip-in, but it was the first time tonight that he grabbed an offensive rebound over Porzingis' head." Wang Meng also laughed.

James was indeed very excited after scoring the goal. He waved his arms as if to announce his presence to the whole audience.

However, before he could be happy for too long, Porzingis responded on the offensive end.

Porzingis pulled to the high post and played a pick-and-roll with Brunson, then bounced out to the three-point line to receive the ball.

Kuzma immediately rushed forward to defend, but Porzingis leaned over and accelerated to break through to the basket.

Facing James who came to assist in defense, Porzingis directly used his wingspan advantage to jump high and successfully dunked James in the air!
"Oh! Porzingis's dunk! He is so strong! That action just now was just like saying: 'James, was your tip-in amazing? Let me respond to you now!'" Yang Yi exclaimed.

"That's right, Porzingis was in very hot form tonight. His dunk just now was really full of power and dominance." Wang Meng also praised him highly.

The atmosphere on the field suddenly became tense, and players from both teams tried their best.

The Lakers' offensive round started again, James advanced with the ball, his eyes determined, as if he wanted to turn the previous defeat into motivation.

He faced Porzingis' defense again, but this time he did not choose to break through by force. Instead, he used a fake move to deceive Porzingis, and then passed the ball to Anthony Davis who was in an open three-point line.

"James' fake moves were so cunning! He successfully fooled Porzingis!" Yang Yi exclaimed.

Anthony Davis took the ball and shot decisively, hitting the three-pointer!
The Lakers fans immediately cheered.

"Davis' three-pointer was so crucial! He helped the Lakers stabilize the situation." Wang Meng analyzed.

The following game became even more intense, with players from both teams trying their best.

The Nets were not to be outdone and frequently launched attacks on the offensive end in an attempt to widen the score gap.

As the game progressed, the atmosphere on the field became more and more tense.

Every attack and defense was thrilling, making the audience hold their breath.

The duel between James and Porzingis became the focus of the whole game, and both of them interpreted the charm of the finals in their own way.

Both sides scored goals on the offensive end and the score remained deadlocked.

On the Lakers side, James and Davis became the main scorers, and they continued to contribute points to the team with their outstanding personal abilities and tacit cooperation.

Wall is responsible for dribbling across half court. His presence reduces James' physical energy consumption, allowing the superstar to focus more on key moments of offense and defense.

"The combination of James and Davis is really unsolvable. Wang Meng, do you think the Lakers can rely on them to make a comeback?" There was a hint of expectation in the voice of commentator Yang Yi.

"Yes, James and Davis are among the best in the league. As long as they can maintain this state, the Lakers will have a chance." Wang Meng responded.

On the Nets side, Porzingis and Durant were also in hot form.

The two of them showed great strength on the offensive end and continued to contribute points for the Nets.

In addition, Brunson occasionally made sudden attacks from outside the three-point line, catching the Lakers off guard with ultra-long three-pointers, and the Nets' offensive momentum was stronger than that of the Lakers.

However, this is the Lakers' home court after all. James and Davis' breakthroughs always get whistles, and the Nets did not widen the gap through free throws.

The atmosphere on the field became increasingly tense, and every attack and defense was thrilling.

As time went on, the defensive intensity of both teams continued to increase, and the shooting percentage on the offensive end began to decline.

However, the Nets always maintained a slight lead, putting the Lakers under great pressure.

"The Lakers have to work harder, otherwise they will lose this game." Yang Yi said. "That's right, the last quarter is the key moment to decide the outcome, the Lakers must show stronger strength." Wang Meng also echoed.

Time passes by minute by minute, and the last three minutes of the final quarter are about to come.

The score on the scoreboard temporarily stopped at 102:99, with the Nets leading by 3 points.

The atmosphere on the field became increasingly tense, and every player tried his best.

At this moment, James stepped up and accounted for almost half of the Lakers' points.

During this period, his hit rate was very high and his performance was very outstanding.

James continued to break through the Nets' defense and used tough breakthroughs to score points for the Lakers.

"Look! James is showing his strength again! He is really the soul of the Lakers!" Yang Yi's tone was full of admiration.

"Yes, James' strength is truly amazing. He always stands up at critical moments and brings hope of victory to the team." Wang Meng also said with great emotion.

Led by James, the Lakers began to gradually narrow the score gap.

Relying on excellent teamwork and the players' individual abilities, they continued to attack the Nets' defense.

The Nets were not to be outdone and also demonstrated their strong strength, engaging in a fierce confrontation with the Lakers.

Even TNT commentators Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith couldn't help but praise James for his outstanding performance during this period.

Although the Lakers fell behind temporarily, James' outstanding performance became the focus of the audience.

"Look at James, he is simply a miracle!" Barkley couldn't help but exclaimed, "This is the ultimate personal heroism! The energy he burst out in desperate situations is simply unbelievable."

"That's right." Kenny nodded, his tone also full of admiration, "Even though he is already a 35-year-old veteran, James still has the ability to influence the game on the court. His every move, every breakthrough, seems to be able to ignite the enthusiasm of the whole audience."

"Yeah, Kenny, look at the Lakers' momentum in chasing points, it's like an unstoppable torrent." Barkley continued, "Although they are still behind now, as long as James is there, they have unlimited possibilities."

"That's true, Barkley." Kenny agreed. "Although the Lakers are behind now, they are very motivated. For the Nets, this game is far from foolproof. If they want to hold on to the victory in the next game, they must respond on the offensive end and never let James lead the team to a climax."

At this point, Kenny's tone became serious, as he knew very well how cruel and ruthless basketball games are.

At such a critical moment, any mistake could lead to the loss of the entire game.

"Yes, Kenny, you are right." Barkley also restrained his smile, and a deep light was revealed in his eyes. "The Nets must be careful. They can't let James find any breakthrough. Otherwise, once he leads the team to a climax, the result of the game will be hard to predict."

"Yes, this is the charm of James." Kenny exclaimed, "He is always able to stand up at the most critical moment and use his strength and wisdom to bring hope of victory to the team. No matter what difficulties and challenges he faces, he can remain calm and firm. This is why he has become a superstar."

"Yes, I totally agree with you." Barkley nodded. "James is indeed an excellent player. His strength and leadership are unquestionable. However, this game is also very critical for the Lakers. They must go all out to win."

"Yes, this game is indeed very crucial for the Lakers." Kenny agreed, "They are now behind, and the balance of victory is still tilted towards the Nets. It is not easy to turn the tables and win."

At this point, Kenny's tone became full of anticipation and passion.

He knows the charm of basketball games and the endless possibilities of the finals.

Whoever can seize the opportunity and give full play to his or her strength will likely win.

At the same time, inside the stadium.

Before the final three minutes of the decisive battle was about to begin, Lu Yong took the initiative to call a timeout in order to adjust the lineup.

At this time, the atmosphere on the court was extremely tense. Every player held his breath and waited for Lu Yong's instructions.

On the bench, the Nets players sat together, their eyes revealing a firmness and determination, as if they were ready for the final battle.

Lu Yong stood in front of the players with a tactical board in his hand and a serious expression.

He knew very well that these last few minutes would determine the outcome of the game, and whether the Nets could get the match point 3:0 and be just one step away from the championship.

Therefore, he must formulate the most precise tactics to deal with the Lakers' fierce counterattack.

"Everyone, listen up. These are the last three minutes. We must go all out!" Lu Yong's voice rang out from the bench. His tone revealed an unquestionable firmness. "The Lakers will definitely try their best to fight back, but we can't give them any chances!"

As he spoke, Lu Yong kept writing and drawing on the tactical board with a pen, arranging the offensive and defensive tactics for the last few minutes.

Every move he made seemed so decisive and powerful, as if he had foreseen the future course of the game.

"First, facing the pick-and-roll attack of James and Davis, we must immediately choose to switch defense!" Lu Yong's words carried an unquestionable authority, "We must not give them any open shots! We must let them feel the pressure of our defense!"

The players nodded in agreement, knowing the strength of James and Davis and that only tight defense could limit their performance.

"Second, when James breaks through to the basket, the weak-side player should double-team him!" Lu Yong continued, "Kuzma can be left open appropriately, because his touch was very bad tonight. His shooting percentage from beyond the three-point line was 5-for-1. I think we can let him take a shot if necessary."

The players nodded again to show that they understood. They knew that this was a flexible adjustment made by Lu Yong based on the opponent's condition.

In the game, the coach who can make correct judgments and adjust tactics according to the actual situation can often lead the team to victory.

"The third and most important point!" Lu Yong's voice suddenly rose a few points. "I want to emphasize the frequency of screens and counter-runs in positional warfare! Although we can score points by relying on singles from stars, it is obviously better to shoot after creating opportunities through tactical running! Everyone must remember this!"

Lu Yong repeatedly emphasized the importance of defense to the players, his eyes revealing an unquestionable determination.

He knows that only a tight defense can bring the team hope of victory.

"There are only three minutes left in the game!" Lu Yong encouraged the players loudly, "We are still the leading team! As long as we hold on for the last three minutes, we can win the game! We will get the match point with a score of 3:0 and we are only one step away from the championship!"

The players stood up one after another, their eyes revealing a passionate fighting spirit.

They knew that these last three minutes would decide everything!
They must go all out to bring hope of victory to the team!

As Lu Yong finished his words, the Nets players walked out of the bench one after another, ready to return to the court to continue fighting.

Everyone's eyes revealed a kind of determination, as if they were ready for the final battle. (End of this chapter)
