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

The Lakers' offensive round began, James stood at the top of the arc, his eyes flashing with wisdom.

Davis stood beside him, and the tacit understanding between the two superstars needed no explanation.

They played a classic pick-and-roll tactic, with James moving flexibly across the court, bypassing Davis' screen.

"Look at this pick-and-roll, it's simply art!" commentator Yang Yi exclaimed.

"That's right, the cooperation between James and Davis is getting better and better," Wang Meng added.

James suddenly made a secret ground pass, and the ball crossed the court like a flash of lightning, heading straight for Davis.

However, in that split second, Durant seemed to have seen through everything.

He pushed the ground hard and leapt forward a distance, like a cheetah pouncing on its prey.

At the moment the ball hit the ground and bounced, Durant actually reached out and stole the ball!

His movements were so quick and precise that it seemed as if time had stopped at that moment.

"Wow! Durant's prediction is amazing!" Yang Yi exclaimed.

"Yes, he is like a cheetah on the court. He can always give his opponents a fatal blow at the critical moment." Wang Meng also admired him.

After the successful steal, other Nets players also started quickly. They rushed towards the Lakers' half like a group of hungry wolves.

Durant waved his hand and made a long pass to Brunson who was on a fast break.

After Brunson received the ball, there was no one in front of him except the lonely basket.

"Brunson's chance has come!" Yang Yi shouted excitedly.

"Yes, this is a once-in-a-lifetime fast break opportunity." Wang Meng also stared at the screen nervously.

Facing the unguarded basket, Brunson took three steps to make a layup. However, just as the basketball was about to slip out of his hands, a figure suddenly appeared above him.

The man seemed like a god of war descending from the sky, completely covering him.

The person who came was LeBron James!

With a crisp sound, Brunson's layup was blocked hard on the backboard by James!

At this moment, the entire stadium seemed to be shocked by James' dominance!

"James' blocks are amazing! He is like a patron saint on the court!" Yang Yi shouted excitedly.

"Yes, his reaction speed and explosive power are really terrifying." Wang Meng also exclaimed.

Wall, who followed closely behind, protected the rebound immediately. He turned around and launched a counterattack like an angry lion.

James' block made the Lakers fans at the scene shout excitedly, while the Nets fans clenched their fists and stared at the game.

Wall rushed forward with the ball, his eyes flashing with determination.

He was greeted by Durant, who came to help defend from the weak side. Wall glanced at Durant and observed the defensive positions of the other Nets players. He immediately had a plan in mind.

"Wall is so fast! He is like a flash of lightning!" Yang Yi exclaimed.

"Yes, and his basketball IQ is also very high. He can always make the right judgment at critical moments," Wang Meng added.

Seeing that the Nets' left side defense was relatively empty, Wall accelerated and rushed to the left.

Durant quickly moved sideways to block, but Wall was too fast.

In a flash, Wall suddenly grabbed the ball, passed it under Durant's armpit, and used a one-on-one passing technique!
This time Durant was completely defeated!

"Wow! Wall's move is so beautiful!" Yang Yi exclaimed.

"Yes, his skills are really superb." Wang Meng also admired.

After successfully passing the ball, Wall ran straight to the penalty area, jumped on one foot and prepared to dunk!

However, at this critical moment, Porzingis's assist came into the three-second zone.

He jumped up with all his might and rushed forward as if blocking a bullet hole!
With a loud bang, Porzingis slapped Wall on the forearm!
Although the block was not successful, it caused Wall's dunk to hit the rim!

At this moment, the entire stadium seemed to be shocked by Porzingis' courage!

"Porzingis' defense is so tenacious!" Yang Yi exclaimed.

"Yes, he is like a warrior on the court, always standing up at critical moments." Wang Meng was also deeply moved.

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

Porzingis was called for a defensive foul and Wall got two free throws.

Lakers fans cheered, while Nets fans looked a little disappointed.

"This foul was called very decisively," Yang Yi commented.

"Yes, it seems that the referee is very attentive in his whistle in this game, which shows how important this game is. But this is also part of the game. Now it depends on whether Wall can seize these two free throw opportunities." Wang Meng responded.

As Wall landed, a low groan of pain cut through the noise of the stadium.

He touched his arm with a painful look on his face. There were five clearly visible finger marks on it, as deep as a brand.

Obviously, Porzingis hit the ball very hard, and Wall couldn't help but grin.

"Porzingis' defensive action is indeed a bit fierce!" Commentator Yang Yi couldn't help but sigh.

"Yeah, it's just like a fight." Wang Meng also agreed.

Kuzma, as a young player on the team, was instantly furious when he saw this scene.

He couldn't tolerate his teammates being treated like this, so he rushed up immediately and shouted at Porzingis viciously: "Is this a normal foul? If you use more force, you will break Wall's hand!"

Porzingis heard Kuzma's roar, but just glanced at him coldly, then turned around and chose to ignore it.

His attitude made Kuzma even angrier, and he instantly lost his temper.

"Hey, don't play dumb! I know you heard it!" Kuzma shouted relentlessly. He had already run in front of Porzingis and put his head against Porzingis's head. "You must give me an explanation today!"

Porzingis was no pushover. He immediately butted Kuzma's head with his head and responded bluntly: "If you are a child, then you'd better not play in the NBA. With such a childish mentality, you are more suitable to play in the wild ball court downstairs in your community."

"What did you say?" Kuzma's eyes widened, he couldn't believe his ears, "Who do you think you are? Do you think you are so powerful? I tell you, I am not someone you can mess with!" "Oh, really? Then I really want to see how you are not someone you can mess with." Porzingis sneered, "But in my opinion, you are just a clown who talks trash."

"You——!" Kuzma was so angry that he was shaking all over. He could hardly control his emotions. "I'm going to let you know today that I'm not so easy to bully!"

After the two of them chattered back and forth for a while, the referee and teammates finally reacted.

They quickly stepped forward to pull the two men apart, thus avoiding a potential conflict.

However, the tension on the court became increasingly intense.

"This scene is really heated!" Yang Yi exclaimed, "Kuzma is really too impulsive. It wouldn't be a problem if the referee called a technical foul on him just now."

"Yes, I hope both sides can calm down." Wang Meng also said, "After all, this game is very important for both teams. If they can't control their emotions, it will be very disadvantageous for their own teams."

However, the atmosphere on the court did not ease despite their persuasion.

On the contrary, the tension between the players on both sides became increasingly intense.

Kuzma and Porzingis stared at each other from a distance. The tension between them was visible to the naked eye, as if they could explode at any time.

As the conflict subsided, the atmosphere on the court gradually returned to calm.

Wall walked to the free throw line with a determined gleam in his eyes.

He knew that these two free throws were crucial for the Lakers, as they would be their first points of the game.

Wall took a deep breath and stood firmly.

He aimed at the basket and threw the ball hard.

The ball drew a perfect arc in the air and fell steadily into the basket!
The first free throw was successful! The Lakers fans cheered, as if they saw the dawn of victory.

Immediately afterwards, Wall stood at the free throw line again.

His eyes became more determined, and he knew he had to seize this opportunity.

He aimed at the basket again and threw the ball hard.

The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air and fell steadily into the basket again!
Two free throws!

3:2, the Lakers got the first points of the game through free throws!
The Lakers players cheered, however, the Nets were not discouraged because they knew the game had just begun.

Looking back, the Nets started their offense.

After Brunson passed the ball through half court, he passed it to Durant.

He himself began to move without the ball, looking for opportunities to attack.

Since Brunson had just made a long-range three-pointer, the Lakers players were very wary of defending him.

Not only did Wall stay close to him, but other players also kept an eye on Brunson's movements, ready to assist in defense at any time.

They know that Brunson is a very threatening offensive point and must be kept vigilant at all times.

However, even the most sophisticated defense will eventually reveal flaws under heavy coverage.

Brunson used his teammate Porzingis' off-ball screen at the baseline to suddenly run back and briefly get rid of Wall's entanglement.

He accelerated toward the top of the arc, looking for an opportunity to catch the ball.

At the same time, Durant, who had the ball on the weak side, passed the ball as soon as possible.

Brunson did not hesitate after receiving the ball. He looked at James who came to assist him in defense and remained very calm.

He knew that his move at this moment had to be decisive and accurate.

Brunson had already completed the shot before James jumped and reached out.

The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air, and with a swish, it went into the net!

6:2, Brunson made two three-pointers at the beginning of the game and scored all the points for the Nets!
He looks very hot, as if no one can stop him!
The Nets fans cheered as if they saw the hope of victory.

The Lakers players looked a little frustrated. They knew they had to adjust their condition as soon as possible, otherwise the game would become very difficult.

As Brunson hit his second three-pointer from the outside, the atmosphere on the court was instantly ignited.

The basket seemed to be in his pocket, and every shot was so accurate.

The ball drew a perfect arc in the air and went into the net with a clear and pleasant sound, as if announcing the Nets' strong start.

"Oh my, Brunson is in such great shape today!" Commentator Yang Yi couldn't help but exclaimed. His tone was full of surprise and admiration, and he was obviously very surprised by Brunson's performance.

"Yes, both three-pointers went in very cleanly, both went into the net without a hitch." Wang Meng also echoed, "This touch is simply amazing. He is simply a magnet for the basket, no matter how he shoots, he scores."

Yang Yi nodded in agreement. He continued, "These two three-pointers are very important to the Nets. Not only did they take the lead at the start of the game, but more importantly, they forced the Lakers to focus more defensive attention on Brunson in the following games."

"That's right." Wang Meng continued, "But once the Lakers focus too much of their defensive attention on Brunson, the offensive space for other Nets players will become wider. They can boldly play one-on-one without worrying about being double-teamed. In this way, the Nets' offense will become more diverse and difficult to defend."

Just as the two commentators said, in the next round, when Brunson used the same trick again and tried to get to the top of the arc to receive the ball with the help of a screen, Davis and Wall of the Lakers actually stepped forward to double-team him.

However, this double-team left Cousins ​​of the Nets completely exposed outside the three-point line.

Durant immediately passed the ball to Cousins ​​at 45 degrees on the right.

Cousins ​​did not hesitate after receiving the ball. He glanced at the basket from outside the three-point line and then made a decisive jump shot.

The ball drew a beautiful arc in the air, and with a swish, Cousins' three-pointer also went in!

9:2, the Nets got off to a fantastic start right at the start!

The atmosphere on the court instantly became heated.

The Nets fans cheered and stood up in the audience, waving their clothes wildly.

The Lakers fans seemed a little uncomfortable. Seeing the Nets play so well at the beginning, they seemed to be reminded of the fear of being dominated by the Nets in the previous games, and their mood became heavier.

"The Lakers' defensive strategy is really problematic," Yang Yi lamented. "They are too focused on defending Brunson and ignore the other players of the Nets. This makes the Nets' offense easier."

"Yes." Wang Meng also agreed, "And look at how clean and clear Cousins' three-pointer was. He didn't hesitate at all and shot it straight away. This decisiveness and confidence is one of the reasons why the Nets performed so well today." (End of this chapter)
