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

Lakers head coach Vogel has stood up from the coaching bench, his eyes revealing a kind of firmness and determination. For the Lakers, this game is not just an ordinary game, but a battle of dignity.

Facing a strong opponent like the Nets, the Lakers must win this game to avoid the embarrassing situation of being swept.

However, the Nets showed strong offensive firepower right from the start, and their players shot from the outside as easily as taking candy from a bag.

This gave Vogel a headache. He understood that if the Nets continued to attack so recklessly, the Lakers would have little chance of turning the tables.

After hesitating for three seconds, Vogel called the first timeout of the game.

He knew that adjustments must be made at this time, otherwise the Lakers would fall into a more passive situation.

During the timeout, Vogel looked serious and solemn.

He expressed his dissatisfaction with the defense to the players, and his tone revealed an unquestionable firmness.

"Our defense is too lax!" Vogel's voice echoed over the bench, "We can't let the Nets players shoot so easily from the outside. We must put more defensive pressure on them and let them feel our presence!"

Vogel's words were like a strong wind, blowing away the confusion and anxiety in the players' hearts.

They began to listen carefully to every word and sentence of the head coach, trying to find an opportunity to turn the tables.

"We have to start with defense and not relax in every round." Vogel continued, "We have to let the Nets feel our defensive intensity and let them know that it is not easy to score on us."

Vogel's words were like a sharp knife, cutting into the heart of the game.

The players began to nod their heads one after another. They understood that only by starting with defense would they have a chance to turn the tables.

In addition to emphasizing defense, Vogel also adjusted the focus of offense.

He allows LeBron James to observe more opportunities for other players on the weak side. After playing pick-and-roll with Davis, once other players have opportunities to run on the weak side, he must pass the ball immediately and cannot put all the scoring pressure on himself and Davis.

"We can't just rely on James and Davis to score." Vogel's words were full of wisdom. "We have to use the power of the team and let everyone participate in the offense. Only in this way can we break the Nets' defense and find an opportunity to turn the tables."

Vogel's words are like a beacon, illuminating the players' way forward.

They began to adjust their status and tried to perform better in the game.

After the timeout, the Lakers players returned to the court.

There was a firmness and determination in their eyes, as if they were fully prepared to meet the challenges ahead.

The timeout ends and the game continues.

The Lakers players returned to the court, their eyes revealing firmness and determination.

After a brief adjustment, the Lakers have apparently found a way to deal with the Nets' offense.

At the beginning of the offensive round, Kuzma and Pope on the weak side obviously increased their running frequency.

They were like two cheetahs, constantly crossing each other on the field, looking for opportunities to break through.

James was like a commander, using breakthrough passes to attract double-teaming from the Nets players.

The ball in his hands seems to have magic, and he can always find the most suitable shooting point at the most critical moment.

At this moment, James made a fake shot and passed the ball to Pope who was cutting to the left.

After Pope received the ball, he ran away like a rabbit, completely shaking off Mitchell's defense.

He made a layup from the three-second zone and the ball went into the net, and the Lakers took the lead again!

"Beautiful!" Domestic commentator Yang Yi couldn't help but exclaimed, "The Lakers' adjustment was really timely! Kuzma and Pope's running positions were so flexible that they completely disrupted the Nets' defensive rhythm."

Wang Meng also nodded in agreement: "Yes, James' fake shot is really clever. He can always find the most appropriate way to pass the ball at the most critical moment. The Lakers' performance in this round is really outstanding!"

Back to the defensive end, the Lakers' defensive intensity has also clearly improved to a higher level.

When Wall was defending Brunson, he was in a completely close position.

His arms clamped Brunson's body tightly like an iron clamp, making it impossible for Brunson to easily break free from his defense.

Although Wall's hands inevitably made some small movements, on a finals stage like today, the referee chose to turn a blind eye.

After all, for the league, every extra finals game can make a lot more money.

Therefore, they also hope that the Lakers can avoid being swept in this series, so there will inevitably be some favoritism in the whistle.

Poor Brunson wanted to make a sudden run defense to get rid of Wall's defense, but Wall grabbed his clothes from behind.

He was forced to stop, and when he finally received a pass from the outside and wanted to observe the Lakers' defense, Wall came up and kept pushing him forward with his chest.

Brunson's balance was unstable and he almost fell over.

He had to rush the ball and almost made a mistake.

This scene made the audience on the sidelines sweat for Brunson.

The ball finally came to Mitchell.

His first reaction was to look for Durant to pass the ball to him to initiate the offense.

But at this time, James' defensive position was very good and he didn't give Mitchell any chance to pass the ball.

Seeing that everyone had no chance, Mitchell could only choose to play singles.

He started to dribble between his legs continuously facing Pope who was in defensive posture.

His dribbling speed is so fast that it is dazzling like a flash of lightning.

Pope's defensive focus fluctuated due to Mitchell's continuous dribbling.

He tried to keep up with Mitchell's rhythm but was shaken off by Mitchell's sudden step back.

The next moment Mitchell received the ball and shot a three-pointer.

Pope rushed forward but due to the previous shift in center of gravity, he was unable to interfere immediately.

With a swish, the basketball went into the net!
Mitchell also made a three-pointer from the outside!
"Wow!" Yang Yi couldn't help but exclaimed, "Mitchell's dribbling is so fast! He is just like dancing on the court! This step-back three-pointer is so brilliant!"

Wang Meng also nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Pope's defense is already very good, but he was still shaken off by Mitchell. This ball is so beautiful! The Nets' offensive firepower is so strong!"

The game on the court continued, and the Lakers and the Nets were fighting hard for every ball.

They all knew that this game was crucial for both sides, so they showed their strength and fighting spirit without reservation.

The Lakers' offensive round started again, and James was still the commander. He calmly observed the situation on the court and directed his teammates to run according to tactics.

His eyes revealed a determination and confidence, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.

After holding the ball at the top of the arc, James and Davis played a pick-and-roll. The cooperation between them was seamless, as if they had practiced it countless times.

Taking advantage of the pick-and-roll opportunity, James broke through to the right. His speed was so fast that he broke through the defense on the court like a flash of lightning.

Seeing this, Porzingis decisively chose to come up and assist, helping Durant defend against James' breakthrough.

However, before he arrived, James had already hit the ball to Davis.

The ball was passed very skillfully, spinning in a perfect arc in the air.

Seeing this, Porzingis quickly stretched out his fingers to touch the basketball, trying to steal the ball.

However, his efforts were in vain and he ultimately failed to touch the basketball.

Davis has lowered his center of gravity, ready to receive the ball and make a layup.

He used his extra-long wingspan to easily catch the pass from James.

Then, before Porzingis returned to defense, he made a layup from close range!

The goal was scored so cleanly that the audience couldn't help but cheer.

"Beautiful!" Domestic commentator Yang Yi couldn't help but exclaimed, "James's command was really outstanding! And Davis' layup was really accurate!"

Wang Meng also nodded in agreement: "Yes, the Lakers' teamwork is so tacit! It seems that they have practiced the passing and movement countless times."

However, just after the Lakers' offense was successful, the Nets' offense encountered controversial decisions by the referee.

After Brunson dribbled the ball across half court, Cousins ​​set a pick-and-roll for him at the top of the arc.

However, just as Cousins ​​used his body to block Wall, the referee suddenly blew the whistle and called a screen foul on the Nets.

This penalty made Cousins ​​look at the referee in confusion. He spread his hands and explained: "My ball didn't move at all. My feet were very clean."

However, the referee insisted that although his feet did not move, his body had actively exerted force, so he still upheld the penalty.

This made Cousins ​​very depressed. He tried hard to recall the previous round, but couldn't figure out where he committed the foul.

He shook his head helplessly and could only accept the controversial decision.

Domestic commentators Yang Yi and Wang Meng who saw this scene were also confused.

They said that the referee's whistle today was a bit biased towards the Lakers. For example, in the last round, Wall clearly committed a defensive foul on Brunson, but the referee turned a blind eye.

In this round, the Nets were called for a screen foul, which was obviously intended to let the Lakers win the game.

"The referee's whistle today was really problematic." Yang Yi couldn't help but say, "He was obviously biased towards the Lakers. This kind of whistle was very unfair to the Nets."

Wang Meng also nodded in agreement: "Yes, the referee's perspective may be a bit problematic. They should referee the game more reasonably instead of blindly favoring the Lakers. Even though the Lakers are already trailing 0:3, this kind of refereeing is still very unfair to the Nets."

The game on the field is still going on, and the Lakers and the Nets are fighting for victory with all their might.

However, the referee's controversial decision added some uncertainty to the game.

.........

When Chinese fans on the other side of the ocean watched the Lakers vs. Nets finals live, they were expecting a fierce and fair showdown.

However, when the referee called a controversial moving screen on Cousins, the live broadcast room exploded.

"Black whistle!"

A fan angrily typed these two words on the barrage, as if he wanted to punch through the screen.

"The referee is clearly biased towards the Lakers!" another fan echoed, his tone full of dissatisfaction and questioning.

The atmosphere in the live broadcast room instantly became tense and heated, and the fans' emotions were completely ignited.

They expressed their dissatisfaction and anger in the barrage, as if they wanted to pour out all their dissatisfaction.

"The league is starting to take action. It obviously doesn't want to see the Lakers get swept by the Nets in the finals. It just wants to make more money, so the whistles in this game favor the Lakers." A veteran fan analyzed, his tone full of dissatisfaction and doubts about the league.

"That's right, the Lakers are like the league's own son. The OK combination was able to complete three consecutive championships and defeated the Kings in the series thanks to bad whistles." Another fan echoed, his tone full of review of history and dissatisfaction with reality.

Nets fans in the live broadcast room expressed their dissatisfaction and anger. They felt that the referee of this game was clearly biased towards the Lakers and that this unfair judgment was unacceptable to them.

However, at this moment, some Lakers fans also began to speak in the live broadcast room.

They said there was nothing wrong with the referee's call and that Cousins ​​was clearly committing a screen foul in that round.

"You Nets fans stop talking nonsense, there is nothing wrong with the referee's call." A Lakers fan wrote on the barrage, his tone full of doubt and dissatisfaction with the Nets fans.

"It was clearly Cousins ​​who set the moving screen, the referee was right." Another Lakers fan echoed.

The Lakers fans' remarks immediately drew angry attacks from the Nets fans.

They accused Lakers fans of being shameless and having no sports ethics, saying that the referee was clearly biased towards the Lakers, but they still lied with their eyes open.

"You Lakers fans are so shameless! It's obvious that the referee favors your team, but you still want to quibble here." A Nets fan wrote angrily in the barrage.

"What a lack of sportsmanship! It was clearly a foul, but they are pretending to be innocent."

The atmosphere in the live broadcast room suddenly became more tense and heated.

The fans' emotions were completely ignited, and they expressed their dissatisfaction and anger in the barrage, as if they wanted to pour out all their dissatisfaction.

"You Nets fans, stop talking nonsense here! The referee's call is fair! You just can't afford to lose!" a Lakers fan wrote on the barrage, his tone full of sarcasm towards the Nets fans.

"It's obvious that you Lakers are favored by the referee! This game is totally unfair!" a Nets fan also responded angrily.

The dispute in the live broadcast room became more and more intense, and the emotions of the fans became more and more heated.

However, amidst this heated dispute, there were also some rational fans speaking out.

"Everyone calm down! Regardless of whether the referee's call is fair or not, the game must go on. Attacking and insulting each other here will not solve any problems."

"Yes! We are all fans. Don't lose your reason and composure just because of one or two rounds of whistle."

However, despite the speeches of these rational fans, the disputes and anger in the live broadcast room did not subside.

The fans' emotions are still high and they are expressing their dissatisfaction in the barrage.

The turmoil in the live broadcast room caused by the referee controversy continued, and the emotions of the fans continued to rise and fall in this turmoil.

Anyone can see that the referee's whistle tonight was very unfair and obviously disadvantageous to the Nets. (End of this chapter)
