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

Chapter 550 Lakers fans can’t afford to lose!

With Durant making both free throws, the score was widened to 7 points again, and the suspense of the game completely disappeared at this moment.

James missed the three-pointer, and Porzingis stably protected the backcourt rebound. This highly anticipated third game of the finals came to an end.

In the end, the Nets defeated the Los Angeles Lakers by 7 points on the road and won the third game of the finals, changing the series score to 3:0 and taking the match point first.

After the game, the Lakers fans hurriedly left the player tunnel without even thinking of shaking hands and hugging the Nets.

The disappointment and frustration on their faces were hard to conceal, as if the loss in this game had already foreshadowed the direction of the entire finals.

The Nets players hugged each other on the court to celebrate this narrow victory.

Their faces were filled with joy and confidence, as if they could already see the championship trophy waving at them.

After seeing this scene on the court, two famous domestic commentators, Yang Yi and Wang Meng, gave an in-depth summary and discussion of the game.

"Although the Lakers have tried very hard, the Nets are too strong." Yang Yi said with emotion, "James played like a dream come true in this game, and people once saw the figure of the former emperor. However, even so, the Nets, which has many All-Star players, still withstood the pressure. Brunson, Durant, Porzingis and Cousins ​​stepped up at different times to help the Nets withstand the pressure. In the end, the Nets successfully defeated the Lakers with a more dispersed offensive firepower."

Wang Meng also nodded and agreed: "Yes, the Nets' offensive firepower is indeed too strong. Moreover, their defensive ability has been seriously underestimated by the outside world. People only know that the Nets' offensive firepower ranks first in the league, but in fact their defense is also very strong. In the three games of this round of finals, the Nets limited the Lakers' score to below the normal level in almost every game. Even though James played a superb performance in this game, the Lakers' final team score was still not high."

"That's true." Yang Yi continued, "The Nets can play such a high level of performance on both offense and defense, and the tactical arrangements of head coach Lu Yong have played an indispensable role. As the No. 1 coach in the league's history, Lu Yong can be called a genius in the coaching world. He can always accurately find the opponent's weaknesses and formulate targeted tactics. This game is no exception. He successfully restricted the Lakers' offense and allowed the Nets' offensive firepower to be fully utilized."

Wang Meng also added: "Yes, Coach Lu Yong's tactical arrangements are indeed excellent. He can always make the players play to their maximum potential on the field. Moreover, he also pays great attention to the players' mental state. At the critical moments of the game, he can always give timely encouragement and support to the players, allowing them to stay calm and focused."

"Yes, this game is of great significance to the Nets." Yang Yi said with emotion, "They not only won the third game of the finals, but also changed the series score to 3:0. Now, they have taken the lead in getting the match point and are only one step away from the championship. The Lakers are facing tremendous pressure and challenges. The next game will be a battle of their dignity. If they can win this game, then they still have a chance to continue to compete for the championship. Otherwise, they will face the embarrassing situation of being swept out by the Nets."

Wang Meng also nodded and agreed: "Yes, the next game is crucial for the Lakers. They need to play their own style and characteristics in this game, limit the offensive firepower of the Nets as much as possible, and strive to make a difference on the offensive end. Only in this way can they have a chance to win and continue to compete for the honor of the championship."

The two continued to discuss the game and its future developments in depth.

Their voices were full of passion and enthusiasm, as if they were also infected by the intensity and tension of the game.

The audience listened with great interest, as if they were also attracted and moved by their discussion.

The victory in this game means a lot to the Nets.

Not only did they win the third game of the finals, but they also changed the series score to 3:0.

Now, they have taken the lead in getting the match point and are only one step away from the championship.

The Lakers are facing tremendous pressure and challenges.

They need to play their own style and characteristics in this battle of dignity, limit the Nets' offensive firepower as much as possible, and strive to make a difference on the offensive end.

Only in this way can they have a chance to win and continue to compete for the championship honor.

No matter how the game goes, this match point battle has become a classic moment, forever engraved in the history of basketball.

The Nets' performance will also become a story that will be passed down by future generations.

…………

On the court, Lu Yong was about to leave the stadium after celebrating with the players.

However, just as they were walking towards the player tunnel, several fans wearing Lakers jerseys next to the tunnel threw water bottles at them aggressively, swearing at them.

Lu Yong soon discovered that this group of people had bad intentions, and he immediately signaled the staff to step forward to protect the players.

"Quick! Protect the players, something is happening here!"

The staff acted quickly, protecting the players in the middle and quickly leaving the passage.

However, during this process, Lu Yong did not forget to raise his hand and give the Lakers fans at the scene a middle finger.

This action was undoubtedly a provocation, but at this time Lu Yong just wanted to stand up for his players.

He knew that victory and defeat were common in competitive sports, but the Lakers fans' reaction tonight was clearly a bit excessive.

"You bunch of guys who can't afford to lose, come at me if you have the guts!" Lu Yong's voice was filled with sarcasm and ridicule.

He knew that his actions might lead to fines from the league after the game, but at this time, he just wanted to stand up for his players.

The Lakers fans at the scene were clearly out of control, and they were overwhelmed by the shadow of failure.

Trailing 0-3 in the finals, the Lakers were just one step away from being eliminated.

Coupled with the arrogant remarks Lu Yong had made before, these made Lakers fans regard Lu Yong as the fuse of the Lakers' failure.

They shouted loudly: "The Lakers are our faith and our pride! You sinner, you destroyed everything for us!"

As he spoke, an excited Lakers fan tried to climb over the fence and rush towards Lu Yong.

But before this guy could flip over the fence, he was immediately pinned to the ground by the staff who came forward.

But even so, this guy continued to spew swear words and threats at Lu Yong.

The Nets players happened to see this scene when they turned around, and immediately surrounded Lu Yong, while pointing their fingers at the Lakers fans on both sides of the aisle and cursing.

In the Nets, anyone can be bullied, but if someone wants to bully their coach, even if they are fans, these guys will definitely rush forward and beat them up. "You crazy people! Come at us if you can! Don't act tough here!" Cousins ​​shouted. There was anger and dissatisfaction in his voice. He could not tolerate the insults and attacks on Lu Yong by these Lakers fans.

Lu Yong was afraid that the situation would escalate and become unresolved, so he stepped forward and stopped the player who was trying to rush into the audience and fight with the Lakers fans.

He pulled them and quickened their pace towards the player tunnel, while at the same time he turned back and raised his right hand, giving the excited Lakers fan his middle finger again.

A mocking and sarcastic smile appeared on his face, as if he was telling these Lakers fans: "It's really ugly when you can't afford to lose."

Amid the boos from the Lakers fans, the Nets players slowly walked towards the player tunnel.

They left the frustrated Lakers fans alone and disheveled in the wind.

The faces of these Lakers fans were filled with resentment and anger. They could not accept the cruel reality that their team was trailing 0-3 in the finals.

They poured all their anger and dissatisfaction on Lu Yong and the Nets, as if this could cover up their inner loss and pain.

However, Lu Yong and the Nets will not be shaken by the provocation and attacks from these Lakers fans.

They knew they were fighting for honor and victory.

They will not lose their reason and calm because of temporary gains and losses. They will respond to all challenges and doubts with their own strength and wisdom.

"You'll get used to losing after a while." Lu Yong chuckled as he left the gym.

It is worth mentioning that the excitement of the Lakers fans and the entire process of Lu Yong's response to the Lakers fans were captured by reporters on the scene.

They witnessed the potential conflict with their own eyes. When the Nets walked into the player tunnel, these reporters were ecstatic and turned on their equipment to watch the video again, while muttering: "Big news, this is something to report."

Ten minutes later, Lu Yong, Durant, Brunson and Porzingis attended the post-match press conference.

The press conference was crowded with people and reporters' questions came like a barrage of questions.

However, to everyone's surprise, the first question the reporters asked was not about the Nets' away win over the Lakers, which changed the series to 3:0, but about the verbal conflict between Lu Yong and Lakers fans after the game.

"Coach Lu Yong, can you talk about the conflict with Lakers fans after the game?" a reporter asked impatiently.

Lu Yong looked calm, shrugged his shoulders at the camera and said, "As the head coach, I am very sorry for what happened. But I am also very frustrated because we were just walking back to the hallway after celebrating, but in the process, the Lakers fans threw water bottles at us. You know, this is a very dangerous behavior because you don't know what they will throw at us. As a coach, I naturally want to protect my players, so I immediately stopped his behavior and warned him. But this guy is like a drug addict who is desperate. My words not only had no effect, but also caused him to riot. I believe everyone should have seen that the guy even wanted to climb over the fence and beat me down the court. This is really terrible."

At this point, Lu Yong paused, and then continued: "I know losing is a very unpleasant thing, but I still can't understand the behavior of the Lakers fans. If it was at the Nets' home court, even if we lost, I guarantee that the Nets fans would not do such crazy things. I hope the league can deal with this, otherwise if a conflict really happens, that is something no one wants to see."

Lu Yong completely shirked his responsibility with just a few words.

Of course, to be precise, this is not shirking responsibility. Lu Yong was just stating the facts, but he did not mention that he gave the fans the middle finger.

Although this incident will definitely lead to a fine from the league after the game, Lu Yong doesn't care.

He is just such a person, doing what he wants to do and what he thinks he should do.

The other three players who attended the press conference with Lu Yong were also asked this question.

They also expressed anger.

"Those Lakers fans obviously can't afford to lose," Durant said with a frown. "Their behavior was very bad. If that guy really fell down and hit Coach Lu Yong at that time, I would definitely step forward and fight him."

"That's right." Brunson agreed. "I hope the league can ban that extreme fan for life. This kind of behavior must not be tolerated."

"We were just celebrating our victory," Porzingis added, "but we didn't expect to encounter something like this. I hope the league can protect the rights of players and coaches from being violated."

Reporters asked questions one after another, but Lu Yong and the players remained calm and rational.

They know that in this situation, any extreme words or actions may lead to greater conflict.

Therefore, they chose to use words to express their positions and attitudes.

"Coach Lu Yong, do you think this conflict will have an impact on the next game?" a reporter asked.

Lu Yong shook his head and said, "I won't let this matter affect our game. We are professional players and coaching team, and our goal is to win the championship. We will focus on the game itself and will not be disturbed by other factors."

"So what do you think about the behavior of Lakers fans?" another reporter asked.

Lu Yong thought for a moment and said, "I think this behavior is very irrational. As fans, they should support their team, but at the same time they should respect their opponents and the rules of the game. Throwing water bottles and insulting players and coaches is absolutely unacceptable. I hope Lakers fans can calm down and look at the result of the game rationally."

"One last question." A reporter raised his hand and said, "How do you think the league should handle this incident?"

Lu looked at the reporter and said, "I think the league should impose severe penalties on such incidents. Not only should the fan who threw the bottle be punished, but the entire Lakers fan base should be warned. We can't let this kind of behavior spread on the basketball court, otherwise the image of the entire league will be damaged."

After the press conference, Lu Yong and the players left the scene.

Their faces were full of determination and confidence, as if they were ready for the next game.

The excitement of the Lakers fans and the act of throwing water bottles became a topic of conversation after dinner and became a small episode in this match point night.

But no matter what, this cannot change the fact that the Nets have already taken a 3:0 lead.

In the next games, they will continue to work hard for the goal of winning the championship. (End of this chapter)
