Coach: Coaching the Grizzlies at the beginning, playing the bantam
Chapter 547 The decisive moment
With Porzingis' strong response on the offensive end, the Nets once again widened the gap to 4 points.
This means that the Lakers will need at least two rounds to catch up, and at this moment, there are less than two minutes left until the end of the game.
Lakers head coach Vogel stood on the sidelines, holding on to the last timeout opportunity, feeling hesitant.
He knows very well that if this timeout is used now, once the game enters the final stage and the Lakers and the Nets are in a stalemate, his room for maneuver will become extremely limited.
Fine beads of sweat oozed out of Vogel's forehead. He stared at the situation on the court, with a fierce struggle in his heart.
He understood that this timeout might be the Lakers' only chance to turn the tables, but it could also be the fuse for their failure.
After thinking for a moment, Vogel decided to keep the timeout for the time being. He could only pray silently that the players on the court could withstand the pressure and create a miracle.
The game continued, and the Lakers attacked. When James pushed the ball forward, all the Lakers fans at the scene stood up and cheered for the home team, making a sound like a tsunami.
James felt the enthusiasm of the fans, his eyes became more determined, and he was determined to lead the Lakers out of the predicament.
Amid the cheers of the fans, James once again charged into the Nets restricted area, using a screen to force his way to the basket and making a layup against Durant's defense.
However, this time Durant's long arms blocked James' vision, and his best layup went out of the frame at this moment.
Porzingis immediately protected the backcourt rebound and passed the ball to Brunson next to him.
After Brunson received the ball, he immediately launched a counterattack. James was so scared when he saw this scene that he ran back and shouted to his teammates: "Return to defense!"
After hearing this, the Lakers players quickly retreated to the backcourt and successfully defended the Nets' fast break counterattack.
However, the Nets' offensive did not stop there. Seeing that the counterattack failed, Brunson slowed down the pace and waited until everyone passed the half court before passing the ball to Durant.
After receiving the ball, Durant lowered his center of gravity, dribbled the ball between his legs while facing James' defense, and looked up at the timer.
He knew very well that as long as the ball could be scored within 24 seconds and the time was used up, the victory would basically belong to the Nets.
This is not only clear to Durant, but also to James on the defensive end. So at the critical moment, in order to avoid fouls, James did not step forward to defend, but opened his hands half a step away.
Durant controlled the ball at the top of the arc, watching the clock tick by. When there were only six seconds left on the timer, Durant moved.
At such a critical moment, Durant did not make any fancy moves. He just used a very simple breakthrough with the ball.
During the breakthrough, Durant also made a front-body change of direction, which he is best at. This time he directly shook off the exhausted James, causing exclamations from the fans at the scene.
After Durant finished the pass, he went straight to the Lakers' restricted area, and Davis came up to defend immediately. He jumped high with his feet on the ground, trying to block Durant's shot. However, facing Davis's defense, Durant was not panicked at all.
After he jumped up, he stuck to Davis' body and did a 180-degree turn in the air, not only avoiding Davis' block, but also successfully getting close to the basket.
Then, he lifted the ball lightly with his right hand, and the basketball spun in the air and flew towards the basket.
With a "swish" sound, the ball went into the net!
After this goal, the Nets extended their lead to 6 points with one minute left in the game.
The Nets fans were excited and cheered for Durant's outstanding performance.
The Lakers players looked frustrated, as they knew that it was almost impossible to catch up with 6 points in the last minute.
When Durant changed direction in front of James and then made a layup by turning 180 degrees in the air against Davis's defense, the whole stadium seemed to be on fire, and the audience's cheers came like a tide.
At this moment, domestic commentators Yang Yi and Wang Meng could not help but stand up from the commentary booth, their voices filled with excitement and admiration.
"It was so wonderful!" Commentator Yang Yi couldn't help but exclaimed, "Durant's shot was simply unstoppable! He showed his superstar strength at the critical moment, and this shot almost secured the victory of the game."
Wang Meng also nodded and said, "Yes, Durant's shot was indeed crucial. Not only did he respond on the offensive end, but he also showed outstanding ability on the defensive end. It will be very difficult for the Lakers to catch up with these 6 points."
The situation on the court was indeed as the two commentators said, the Lakers were facing huge difficulties.
"Oh my! Durant's shot was really great!" Yang Yi couldn't help but cheer again, his voice full of praise for Durant's wonderful goal, "He dribbled past two Lakers stars in a row, and both James and Davis were fooled by him. This is simply the ultimate display of personal ability!"
Wang Meng also nodded repeatedly, his eyes flashing with endless admiration for Durant: "Yes, Durant played this ball very smartly. He knew that at this critical moment, every detail was crucial. So he used a very clever change of direction to catch James off guard, and then used a 180-degree rotation in the air to avoid Davis' block. This is simply a visual feast!"
The two men became more and more excited as they spoke, and their voices echoed above the commentary booth, as if adding more passion and color to this peak showdown.
"And you see, Durant's goal was not only because of his outstanding skills, but more importantly, his mentality was very stable." Yang Yi continued, "At such a critical moment, he did not panic because of the tight score or time pressure. On the contrary, he ended the game in his own way, making the Lakers completely lose hope of a comeback."
Wang Meng also agreed: "That's true. Durant's performance has been very stable. He can always stand up and score for the team at critical moments. This ability is very rare in the NBA. Whenever the Heat are ready to narrow the score, there is always someone on the Nets side who stands up to respond. Whether it's Durant or Porzingis, their performance is impeccable."
At this point, Yang Yi couldn't help but reveal a hint of admiration in his tone: "Yes, the Nets' performance during this period is indeed very good. They are always able to stay calm at critical moments and then end the game in their own way. This ability is very rare in the NBA. Moreover, the cooperation between Durant and Porzingis is becoming more and more tacit. The passing and receiving between them are very accurate, as if they have formed an unspoken tacit understanding."
Wang Meng also sighed: "Yes, the Nets' dominance during this period is indeed very obvious. They have not only made greater improvements in skills and tactics, but more importantly, they have also made great changes in their mentality. They have become more confident and more calm. This change is very important for a team."
The two of them got more and more interested as they talked, and their voices echoed in the commentary booth, as if adding more passion and color to this peak showdown.
At this moment in the stadium, the cheers of the audience are still pouring in like a tide, and some Nets fans are also cheering and shouting for Durant's wonderful goal.
"Moreover, Durant's goal completely disrupted the Lakers' rhythm." Yang Yi continued, "Originally, the Lakers were planning to launch a counterattack in the last quarter, but now it seems that their plan has been completely disrupted. Durant's goal has completely made them lose hope of a comeback." Wang Meng also nodded and said, "Indeed. The Lakers are facing very big difficulties now. They are not only behind in the score, but more importantly, their mentality has been greatly affected. What they need to do now is to adjust their mentality as soon as possible and then regain the rhythm of the game."
At this point, Yang Yi couldn't help but reveal a hint of worry in his tone: "But it's difficult. The Lakers are now under great pressure. They need to regain the rhythm of the game in such a short time, which is not an easy task. The Nets' defense is getting tighter and tighter, and they hardly give the Lakers any chance to counterattack."
Wang Meng also agreed: "That's true. The Nets' defense is really excellent. They are always able to stand up and cause trouble for the Lakers at critical moments, and they are always able to provide fatal blocks or steals at critical moments."
The two people's discussion became more and more in-depth, and their voices were full of love and persistence for this peak showdown.
"In addition, Durant's goal also completely ignited the enthusiasm of the audience." Yang Yi continued, "They are now cheering for Durant and the Nets. This kind of atmosphere is very important for a team. It can make the players more confident and calm in facing the game."
Wang Meng also sighed: "Yes, this kind of atmosphere is indeed very important. It allows the players to feel the support and encouragement of the audience, so that they can work harder and play more attentively. And this atmosphere is also one of the key factors in whether a team can win."
At the same time, in China, far across the ocean, countless fans were watching this exciting game through the live broadcast room.
When Durant's extremely difficult one-on-two goal flashed across the screen, the entire live broadcast room seemed to be ignited, with cheers and exclamations from fans rising one after another.
The fans supporting the Nets were so excited that they couldn't contain themselves. They were posting comments in the live broadcast room and dunking "666" crazily for Durant.
"Durant's shot was simply explosive! He is simply a superhero on the basketball court!"
"That's right, this shot made my heart beat faster! Durant, you are my idol!"
"It's amazing! This ball is simply unstoppable! Durant, you are the soul of the Nets!"
The fans' comments came like a tide, filling up the entire screen.
They expressed their love and support for Durant and the Nets in their own way.
At the same time, Lakers fans seemed a little depressed, looking at the score on the screen, their hearts full of worry.
"Oh, the Lakers must hold on! There's only one minute left in the game, you must make a three-pointer!"
"Yeah, Durant's shot just now was simply terrible. Lakers, you must hold on and catch up!"
"Come on, Lakers! You are our pride! You must create a miracle in this last minute!"
The Lakers fans were discussing the game anxiously in the live broadcast room, and their moods seemed to fluctuate with the progress of the game.
They cheered for the Lakers in their own way, hoping to see a miracle happen in the last minute.
Nets fans became more and more excited, as if they had seen the dawn of victory.
"Haha, Lakers, just wait to be defeated by the Nets! Durant, you are our savior!"
"That's right, the Nets will definitely win! Durant, you are our hero! We love you!"
"Come on, Nets! You must maintain this lead! Let the Lakers see our strength!"
Nets fans were cheering in the live broadcast room, their voices filled with desire and anticipation for victory.
They cheered for the Nets in their own way, hoping to see the team win at the last minute.
However, Lakers fans did not give up hope.
They are still cheering for the Lakers, hoping to see the team's comeback at the last minute.
"Come on, Lakers! You are a top team in the NBA! You must create a miracle in this last minute!"
"That's right, the Lakers will definitely catch up! You must believe in yourself! Come on!"
"Come on, Lakers! We believe you can turn the situation around! Come on!"
Lakers fans cheered and encouraged in the live broadcast room.
Although their voices were a little low, they were still full of trust and support for the Lakers.
They cheered for the Lakers in their own way, hoping to see the team win at the last minute.
Unfortunately, the Lakers players are destined not to hear the shouts of these people. The current situation on the court is very unfavorable for the Lakers. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Lakers have one foot on the edge of being eliminated.
The fans at the scene, who were originally very noisy, became quiet after Durant made this difficult goal.
Countless Lakers fans were filled with despair and pessimism at this moment, and a lifeless momentum was hovering over the Staples Center.
"Damn it, is it true that we can't beat the Nets?"
"We were trailing by 6 points with one minute left, and our opponent was the Nets, the league's most powerful offense. Was this game worth playing?"
"It's over, everything is over, the Lakers are going to lose again. Are we really doomed to be swept out by the Nets 4:0 in this round of the finals?" (End of this chapter)
