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

Durant stood firmly on the free throw line, his eyes firm and calm.

All eyes were on him, and Nets fans waited with bated breath.

The free throw line is the subtle boundary that determines victory or defeat on the basketball court, and it is also a stage for superstars to display their calmness and strength.

Durant took a deep breath, then threw the ball steadily. The ball drew a perfect arc in the air and went into the net.

This free throw not only allowed the Nets to widen the score again, but also seemed to sound the clarion call for the team to launch an offensive counterattack.

The Nets fans cheered, as if they saw the dawn of the team's turnaround.

However, at this moment, the course of the game changed subtly.

On the next possession, Brunson looked anxious as he came around the screen.

His steps were a little messy and his body lost balance.

Just then, the referee's whistle sounded and Brunson was called for a defensive foul.

Brunson, who had two fouls, could only shake his head helplessly, then walked to the sidelines and temporarily rested.

Veteran Rose was called upon to come on as a substitute in time.

His eyes revealed a kind of determination and calmness, as if telling everyone that no matter how difficult the game was, he would give it his all.

However, the test for the Nets is not over yet.

One minute later, Cousins ​​and Rose played a pick-and-roll at the top of the arc. After the pick-and-roll, Cousins ​​took advantage of the situation and attacked the basket.

He was facing Davis, but Davis was not standing straight at the moment.

Cousins ​​saw this opportunity, he forced a layup, the ball drew a beautiful arc in the air, and then fell steadily into the basket.

Cousins ​​was about to punch the ball to celebrate, but at this moment, the referee's whistle sounded again.

He actually called an offensive foul on Cousins! At this moment,
Cousins ​​almost threw his fist at the referee in anger.

His face was full of confusion and anger, as if he was questioning why the referee made such a decision.

Thanks to his teammates who pulled him away in time and called on Cousins ​​to calm down. They knew that being impulsive at this time would only make things worse.

Cousins ​​took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

He knew that he couldn't lose his mind because of an unfair judgment.

However, this also meant that Cousins ​​also fouled twice and had to rest.

In just over a minute, the Nets lost two starting players in succession.

This situation was obviously beyond everyone's expectations. Even Nets head coach Lu Yong had a gloomy look on his face as he stood on the sidelines.

He looked at the situation on the court, his heart filled with anger. He knew that at this time he couldn't really lead the players to leave the stadium and strike.

What he needs to do is stay calm, only in this way can the Nets find a glimmer of hope in the desperate situation.

Lu Yong asked the technical desk for a timeout with a cold face.

He needs to use this time to rearrange tactics and adjust the players' mentality.

The next games will be more difficult, but he also believes that as long as the whole team works together, they may be able to create a miracle.

During the timeout, the Nets players sat on the bench, and the atmosphere was so tense that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it.

Everyone looked angry, especially Brunson and Cousins, who had just been substituted out because of two fouls.

"The referee tonight was so abusive!" Brunson waved his arms angrily. "I will definitely complain to the referee union after the game. This kind of refereeing is simply unbearable!"

Cousins ​​was also furious. He nodded heavily, his voice low and powerful: "Yes, if this hadn't happened on the court, I would have beaten them so badly that they couldn't get out of bed. This kind of biased whistle is an insult to basketball!"

Seeing that the players' expressions and emotions were extremely angry, although Lu Yong was also very angry, he knew that he had to stand up and call on everyone to calm down at this time.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, then holding the tactical board in his hand, waved to the players to be quiet for a while.

"I know the referee's whistle tonight was very unfavorable to us," Lu Yong said in a steady and powerful voice. "You can even say that their whistle was a piece of shit. But no matter what, we have to win this game. We can't let the referee's partiality affect our mentality and fighting spirit."

Having said that, Lu Yong paused for a moment. He looked around at the players and saw that everyone was staring at him closely, waiting for his next instruction.

He took a deep breath, and then continued: "Everyone, what we need to do next is to slap the Lakers in the face and slap the referee in the face. Let everyone know that even if the referee favors the Lakers in the whistle, we Nets can still win this game."

As soon as Lu Yong finished speaking, a chorus of agreement came from the bench.

The players' eyes revealed a firmness and determination, as if telling everyone that they would not give up the game because of the referee's unfair decision.

"We have to speak with strength!" Durant stood up, his eyes flashing with fighting spirit, "No matter what the referee blows, we have to stick to our own style of play and use our strength and fighting spirit to win the game."

"That's right!" Brunson also clenched his fists. "We can't let the referee's favoritism affect our mentality. We must play more focused and respond to the referee's injustice with our performance."

Cousins ​​also stood up, his face full of dissatisfaction and fighting spirit: "The coach is right, we have to use 5 vs. 8 to defeat the Lakers. Even if they are biased by the referee, we have to let them know that the Nets are not so easy to bully!"

Seeing the players standing up one by one, Lu Yong felt relieved. He knew that this was the time when the players' fighting spirit and determination were needed.

He waved his hand, motioning for everyone to sit down, and then continued: "Very good, I see that you all have fighting spirit and determination. Next, what we have to do is to play more focused and use our strength and teamwork to defeat the Lakers."

"Robinson, you replace Cousins." Lu Yong made the substitution decision, "You need to defend more actively on the court and create pressure on the Lakers."

Robinson nodded, he knew what it meant to play at this time.

He took a deep breath, then stood on the sidelines, ready to accept the next challenge.

Lu Yong continued to convey his belief to the players: "Remember, no matter how the referee blows, we must stick to our own style of play. We must use our strength and fighting spirit to win the game and let everyone know that the Nets are not so easy to bully!"

Under Lu Yong's passionate speech, the Nets players all showed full confidence.

They know that the next game will be very difficult, but they will definitely fight the Lakers and the referees to the end.

They have to use their strength and performance to prove their worth and let everyone know that the Nets are a team that cannot be underestimated.

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

Their eyes revealed a kind of firmness and determination, as if telling everyone that they were ready to meet the next challenge. The Nets players returned to the court with a spirit of not admitting defeat.

In previous games, the referee's whistle had caused them to suffer a lot, but this time, they were not here to complain, they were here to speak with their actions.

When the offensive round began, the Nets players were obviously holding their breath.

Durant, Mitchell and Porzingis were like tireless machines, running around the court frantically, trying to create the best shooting opportunities.

There was a firmness and determination in their eyes, as if telling everyone that they would not give up the game because of the previous injustice.

Robinson and Rose, one controlling the ball and the other constantly setting screens for their teammates, cooperated tacitly and accurately, creating many offensive opportunities for their teammates.

After a series of back-runs and screens, Mitchell finally got a chance to run at 45 degrees on the right side.

He received a pass from veteran Rose, then touched the ball outside the three-point line, directly knocking Pope, who was defending, away.

Pope obviously didn't expect Mitchell to make such a move, and his defensive rhythm was disrupted instantly.

Mitchell took advantage of this opportunity and broke through to the basket with the ball.

He was so fast that he broke the silence of the stadium like a flash of lightning.

However, just as Mitchell was breaking through, Davis stepped forward to assist in defense.

Davis is the Lakers' inside stalwart, with first-class strength and defensive abilities.

Facing Davis's assist defense, Mitchell showed no fear at all.

He jumped high and collided heavily with Davis in the air.

This collision seemed like a contest between two forces.

As an inside player, Davis is definitely stronger than Mitchell.

However, Mitchell relied on his excellent physical fitness to force a pull-up shot in the air to avoid Davis' block.

His movements were smooth and natural, as if he was performing a graceful dance in the air.

Under Davis' armpit, Mitchell scored a layup with his left hand.

He played this shot tough and decisively, not giving Davis any time to react.

The moment the ball went into the basket, the Nets fans at the scene shouted and cheered for Mitchell's wonderful performance.

After landing, Mitchell also let out an excited roar, which seemed to be venting his inner emotions.

He knew that this shot not only earned the Nets two points, but was also a response to the unfair penalty they had received before.

They told everyone in a very tough way that the Nets are not so easy to bully.

At this moment, the Nets seemed to be ignited, and their fighting spirit and morale were aroused.

At this moment, domestic commentators Yang Yi and Wang Meng also became excited.

They all praised Mitchell in the studio.

"Mitchell's physical fitness is simply outstanding!" Yang Yi exclaimed, "Look at the pull-up action he made in the air. Even though his body lost its balance, he was able to perform such a smooth movement. It's really amazing!"

"That's right, that's right!" Wang Meng also nodded repeatedly, "Mitchell still maintained his fighting spirit under such circumstances. He really deserves to be a rising star among Lu's players. His shot was so cool, my god!"

While the two praised Mitchell crazily, they also praised Nets head coach Lu Yong.

It means that Lu Yong played a leading role for the players during this timeout.

It is precisely because of him that the Nets players can unite as one in such a situation and their morale is not at all weakened.

"Coach Lu Yong is really amazing!" Yang Yi said with emotion, "You can see that after he came back from the timeout, the players' condition was obviously different. They were all like chicken blood, full of fighting spirit!"

"Yes, Coach Lu Yong is really good at what he does." Wang Meng also agreed, "He can always inject strength into the players at critical moments, allowing them to rise up in adversity. In today's game, if it weren't for Coach Lu Yong's morale-boosting during the timeout, the Nets players might have collapsed long ago."

The two commentators' comments were heard by every Nets fan in the country through the live broadcast.

They posted comments in the live broadcast room, praising Mitchell and head coach Lu Yong crazily.

"Mitchell's shot was so cool! He is absolutely my idol!" a fan posted excitedly.

"Coach Lu Yong is really awesome! He always brings hope to the team at critical moments. In today's game, if it weren't for his morale-boosting during the timeout, the Nets might have been deflated a long time ago." Another fan echoed.

"That's right! Come on Nets! Come on Mitchell! You are the best!" Another fan posted a barrage of comments to cheer for the Nets.

Looking at the heated discussions and praises from the fans in the live broadcast room, Yang Yi and Wang Meng also felt very gratified.

"It seems that after today's game, Mitchell will become a hero in the hearts of fans again!" Yang Yi said with a smile.

"That's for sure!" Wang Meng also responded with a smile, "Mitchell's performance in this game was simply amazing! Not only does he have excellent physical fitness, but he can also maintain his fighting spirit and calmness at critical moments. Such a player is simply the future star of the team!"

As they talked, they looked at Mitchell on the court.

He did not stop after hitting the pull-up layup, but continued running back to the half court to defend.

His eyes revealed a determination and confidence as if telling everyone: I, Mitchell, am the future of the Nets!
"Mitchell, awesome!" Another fan posted excitedly, his fingers typing quickly on the keyboard, as if he wanted to pour all the words of praise into these short words.

"Coach Lu Yong is amazing! After the timeout, the players' condition is obviously different, as if they were given a shot of chicken blood." Another fan also expressed his emotion, his words full of admiration for Lu Yong.

The comments in the live broadcast room came like a tide, each one was filled with the passion and excitement of the fans.

They expressed their praise and support for Mitchell and Lu Yong in their own ways.

"Mitchell is the future star of the Nets! Your physical fitness and fighting spirit are first-class, we are proud of you!"

"Coach Lu Yong's timeout was so timely! It not only encouraged the players, but also brought hope to us fans."

"Come on Nets! Beat the Lakers hard!"

"The Nets will win. Once we get through this dark period, the championship is just around the corner!" (End of this chapter)
