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

Durant's difficult goal not only made the fans cheer and the commentators marvel, but even the Lakers players were stunned.

Because at the same time Durant scored, the Lakers' two core players, James and Davis, collided in the air.

This happened so suddenly that everyone on the court was a little confused. While Davis was defending, he collided with James who was chasing him in the air.

The two bodies twisted into a ball in the air, and then fell to the ground in pain. No one got up, as if time had been frozen at this moment.

After seeing this scene, Wall couldn't help but laugh.

However, he soon realized that he couldn't laugh in this situation, so he immediately put on a serious expression. He stepped forward to greet his teammates Kuzma and Pope, and together they helped James and Davis up.

James and Davis were both hit hard, and they both looked in great pain as they were helped up by their teammates. Davis even covered his chest with his hands, as if he had just been elbowed by James in mid-air.

There was a painful expression on his face, but his eyes revealed a hint of helplessness and humor.

"LeBron, you almost killed me." Davis looked at James and said helplessly.

There was a hint of laughter in his voice, as if he was making fun of his teammate's "rudeness".

James was also a little helpless. He shook his head and spread his hands and said, "I didn't want to do that either. Kevin's shot was too slippery. I couldn't brake when I wanted to."

There was a hint of regret and self-mockery in James' tone, as if he was ashamed of his inability to stop Durant's attack.

Domestic commentators Yang Yi and Wang Meng couldn't help laughing when they saw this scene.

They knew that this moment had become a classic moment of the game. Durant's difficult goal not only made the fans cheer, but also caused the two core players of the Lakers to "collide" in the air.

"Haha, Durant's shot was absolutely amazing!" Yang Yi said with a smile, "Not only did he score this difficult move, but he also made James and Davis collide with each other in the air. This is simply a comedy!"

"Yeah, it's already a subconscious habit for James to raise his elbow in the air." Wang Meng also echoed, "Davis was really miserable this time. Fortunately, he was hit in the chest. If he was hit in the face, there would definitely be a river of blood."

The tones of the two were full of teasing and humor, as if they were laughing at this "unexpected" comedy.

As James and Davis stood up, the game continued.

However, this classic moment has been deeply imprinted in the hearts of fans.

Durant's difficult goal, James and Davis' "mid-air collision", and the commentators' humorous banter all became unforgettable laughs in this game.

The Lakers' offense began, and Davis took the basketball from the referee, his eyes revealing firmness and determination.

He knew that this game was crucial for the Lakers, and every second could be the key to winning or losing. So he passed the ball to James in a low-lying way, which had a unique advantage - as long as James' hand did not touch the basketball, the time on the timer would not move.

The Lakers' intention was clear. They wanted to let the ball roll slowly to the frontcourt in order to reduce the time and create more opportunities for the final offense.

However, the Nets obviously did not want to see the Lakers save time, because there was only one minute left before the end of the game. As long as the time went faster, the Nets could hold on to the victory.

After seeing this, Durant immediately understood the Lakers' intention and rushed to James without hesitation, trying to stop him from catching the ball.

Durant's pace and starting speed were so fast that James was so scared that he picked up the ball from the ground.

James knew that he couldn't let Durant steal the ball, otherwise the Lakers' plan would fail.

The moment James touched the basketball with his hand, the timer started and time began to tick away second by second.

James dribbled the ball and rushed toward the Nets' inside. His intention was very clear, just to get a quick two points and stop the watch.

However, the Nets did not let him do as he wished.

Durant followed James all the way, with his arms open to constantly interfere with his vision. Porzingis also immediately came up to assist on the weak side and stood in front of James' breakthrough route.

James faced tremendous pressure, but he did not panic. He quickly observed the situation on the court and looked for the best offensive opportunity.

In a split second, James made the wisest choice. He jumped high and passed the ball to Kuzma who was open in the bottom corner.

This is a great offensive opportunity, and Kuzma's three-point shooting percentage is actually pretty good.

However, his efficiency in this game was very poor. Facing such a very good opportunity, Kuzma shot a three-pointer without hesitation.

However, the results were shocking.

The basketball hit the front of the basket and bounced high, but Kuzma missed the open three-pointer!
At this moment, the entire stadium seemed to stand still.

The Lakers players looked disappointed, while the Nets players cheered.

The Lakers fans could not accept this fact and started cursing, venting their dissatisfaction and anger.

"Kuzma, what's wrong with you? You missed such a good opportunity!"

"I'm so angry! How could you make such a mistake at such a critical moment?"

"Kuzma, did you throw away all the three-point shots you practiced? How come you can shoot like this?"

"What a bummer! In such an important game, you actually missed an open three-pointer!"

"Kuzma, did you miss dinner tonight? Why are your shots so soft?"

The Lakers fans kept yelling abuse, they couldn't accept that Kuzma would miss such an open three-pointer.

This ball is crucial for the Lakers. If Kuzma can hit this three-pointer, the Lakers will have a chance to tie the score.

However, now everything has come to nothing.

James also seemed a little disappointed. He had thought that the ball would be able to hit the target steadily and bring a glimmer of hope to the Lakers.

However, the reality is so cruel.

He looked at Kuzma beside him and found that his face also looked very ugly.

The game continued, but the atmosphere on the Lakers seemed a little dull.

The miss of this open three-pointer was a huge blow to the team.

Yang Yi and Wang Meng in the commentary booth couldn't help but sigh. "Oh, Kuzma missed an open three-pointer in this round. It's really wrong!" Yang Yi's voice was filled with regret and helplessness.

He knew that the missed open three-pointer would undoubtedly be a huge blow to the Lakers.

Wang Meng also nodded in agreement: "Yes, if Kuzma made this open three-pointer, the Lakers would have narrowed the score to one round. As long as they can defend the Nets' offense in the next round, they will have a chance to tie the score. But now that Kuzma's open three-pointer has missed, the Lakers are not only 6 points behind the Nets, but the game time is also getting shorter and shorter. The situation is almost at the point of life and death for the Lakers."

After listening to Wang Meng's words, Yang Yi took a deep breath and then said slowly: "That's right, Kuzma's shot was inappropriate. If the Lakers lose this game, he must bear the primary responsibility. He must focus on practicing his shooting this summer, otherwise playing next to two superstars, James and Davis, without shooting space and unable to create space, will be very bad."

Wang Meng also nodded and agreed: "Yes, Kuzma needs to understand that as a professional basketball player, he needs not only technical and physical qualities, but also strong psychological qualities and the ability to withstand pressure. Especially at this critical moment, he must be able to withstand the pressure and seize the opportunity."

The two commentators' words were full of criticism and expectations of Kuzma.

This game was crucial for the Lakers, and Kuzma's missed open three-pointer undoubtedly made the situation worse for the Lakers.

Of course, they also understand that challenges and opportunities on the road of basketball will always accompany athletes.

Kuzma needs to learn lessons from this failure and work hard to improve his technical level and psychological quality.

The game was still going on, but the situation for the Lakers was becoming more and more serious. Every attack and every defense was full of tension and excitement.

As Kuzma missed the open three-pointer, the atmosphere on the court suddenly became tense and anxious.

Davis, the Lakers' inside giant, was originally preparing to create a storm under the basket, but he didn't expect to be firmly trapped behind by Cousins, the experienced opponent.

Although Cousins ​​may not be as good as Davis in terms of physical fitness and athletic talent, as an experienced veteran who entered the league early, he has his own unique understanding of the competition for rebounds.

He knows very well that if he cannot grab the rebound, it is equally important to prevent the opponent from grabbing the rebound.

So, he suddenly turned sideways and used a method similar to a jump press to pin Davis to the ground, so that Davis could only watch the basketball fly over his head.

At this moment, Davis' heart was filled with annoyance and resentment. He had the opportunity to grab this crucial rebound for the team, but he missed the opportunity because of Cousins' interference.

Cousins ​​showed a sly smile, knowing that he had successfully completed the task and secured this important backcourt rebound for the team.

Seeing this, Porzingis immediately jumped high and easily protected the basketball in his hands.

His eyes revealed a determination and confidence, as if he had already foreseen the upcoming victory.

With only 48 seconds left in the game, Porzingis calmly passed the ball to Brunson.

Brunson, the Nets point guard, became the focus of the court at this moment.

He received the pass from Porzingis, and a strong fighting spirit surged in his heart. He knew that whether the Lakers were preparing for normal defense or using foul tactics, his free throw ability and field control ability could better help the Nets stabilize the situation.

Wall rushed towards Brunson immediately, trying to steal the ball with high-intensity defense.

Brunson, however, remained calm.

He used a beautiful between-the-legs dribble and a behind-the-back dribble to easily pass Wall with two consecutive dribbles.

Wall had no choice but to use foul tactics to stop Brunson.

In this quarter, the Lakers have already committed enough fouls, which means Brunson will get two valuable free throw opportunities.

Brunson walked to the free throw line with a smile on his face, and behind him, Durant and Mitchell had already started high-fiving to celebrate.

They knew that as long as Brunson could make these two free throws, the Lakers would need at least three rounds to catch up.

At this time, there were only more than 40 seconds left in the game, and the 6-point gap put the Lakers into a desperate situation.

Lakers fans began to boo loudly, trying to distract Brunson.

Unfortunately, Brunson was not affected at all.

His free throw percentage this season is as high as 91.3%, ranking second in the league, second only to Stephen Curry.

This kind of free throw is almost a free point for him.

Brunson took the pass from the referee and took a deep breath.

He exhaled slowly, adjusting his rhythm.

Then, he aimed at the basket, and with a swish, the basketball went into the net!

Once this goal was scored, it basically sentenced the Lakers to death.

However, this is not the end yet. In the second free throw, Brunson made it again!
At this time, the score difference has reached 8 points, and the Lakers are on the verge of death!
The atmosphere on the court suddenly became solemn and tense.

The Lakers players looked desperate, knowing that it was almost impossible to make up the difference in such a short time.

The Nets players cheered, knowing that victory was not far away.

Davis' heart was filled with regret and unwillingness.

He had the chance to grab that crucial rebound for the team, but missed the opportunity because of Cousins' interference.

At this moment, he could only watch Brunson shoot the ball into the basket again and again, but he was powerless to do anything.

Brunson smiled confidently.

He knew that his free throw ability became the key to the team's victory at this moment.

He felt the atmosphere on the court and the cheers of the fans, and a strong sense of accomplishment surged in his heart.

He knew that the victory of this game would belong to the Nets and he would be the hero of the team.

Lakers head coach Vogel seemed a little helpless at the moment. He stood on the sidelines looking a little depressed, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.

He looked at the situation on the court and knew in his heart that it would be difficult to make any progress in this game.

He could only accept this fact silently and think about how to adjust tactics and lineup in the next game to avoid being swept by the Nets. (End of this chapter)
