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

The score deficit made the entire Lakers team start to get a little anxious.

Especially James, he played very well tonight and tried very hard to help the Lakers take the lead.

He attacked the basket again and again and delivered accurate assists time and time again, but the Nets still played with sharp offensive firepower even when the referee was not paying attention.

Mitchell, Durant and Porzingis, these three people have completely different offensive styles, making it very uncomfortable for the Lakers to defend.

Mitchell's breakthrough was like a sharp blade, piercing the heart of the Lakers' defense; Durant's shot was like a precise guided missile, which could hit the target accurately no matter how far away; and Porzingis' hook shot and shot made the Lakers' inside defense impossible to defend.

James' physical fitness began to decline, and his offensive efficiency also began to decline during this period.

He attacked the basket again and again, but was blocked by the Nets' tenacious defense.

Davis was also targeted under the basket. The Nets' inside players were like mountains, making it difficult for him to score easily.

The only ones who can really set the pace for the Lakers are James and Wall.

However, James' physical strength has obviously declined now, and although Wall tried hard, he seemed a little overwhelmed facing the Nets' powerful offensive firepower.

At this moment, Lakers head coach Vogel called a timeout. He stood on the sidelines and looked firmly at the players on the court.

He knew that the Lakers now needed someone to step up and take over the game, and that person was Davis.

During the timeout just now, Davis volunteered to increase his offensive shots in the remaining time of the first quarter.

His proposal was naturally supported by coach Vogel and James.

They all know that Davis is the most offensively threatening player on the Lakers, and his scoring ability is enough to change the course of the game.

In the first round after the timeout, Davis received the pass in the low post.

Defending him was Claxton, who came on as a substitute for Robinson, a young player with very fast speed and excellent physical fitness.

When two people face off, it is naturally a test of who has faster agility.

Davis faced the basket with the ball, and he kept a close eye on Claxton's defensive actions. He knew that this young player was very fast, but he also had his own advantages - strength and experience.

He began to try to break through, but failed to get past Claxton after two consecutive changes of direction, but he had an advantage in physical confrontation.

The two men started a physical confrontation again, and Davis suddenly turned around and entered the basket by sticking to Claxton's body.

Clarkson failed to react in time and lost his defensive position instantly.

The next second, Davis jumped high and used a two-handed dunk to help the Lakers get two points!
This slam dunk seemed to ignite the fighting spirit of the entire Lakers team, and they began to defend and attack harder.

The Nets were attacking, Rose had the ball, and his eyes flashed with the cunning of a cheetah.

In this round, he and Claxton played pick-and-roll in the middle, like a pair of tacit dancers, performing their own waltz on the court.

Rose used a pick-and-roll and changed direction in front of his body, like a magician, to instantly pass Wall and then break through to the basket like an arrow.

However, Davis under the basket was like an insurmountable wall. He provided timely assistance and stood between Rose and the basket.

Facing Davis's iron wall, Rose's eyes flashed with determination. He decisively used a ground pass, passing the ball like a precise guided bomb to Claxton who was cutting to the side.

Claxton's speed is like a cheetah. After receiving the ball, he took big strides and took steps like a long-legged deer, heading straight for the basket.

His eyes were full of desire to score, as if he had already seen the moment when he would dunk the ball into the basket.

However, just as Claxton was about to dunk the ball into the basket with both hands in the air, Davis suddenly turned around and completed the second defense. His action was like a flash of lightning, fast and accurate.

He blocked Claxton's dunk in mid-air, a shot that not only made the Lakers fans at the scene cheer, but also surprised commentators Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith.

"Oh my God!" Charles Barkley shouted in the studio, "Davis' block was so beautiful! He reacted in a very short time, moved quickly and blocked Claxton's dunk in the air! He is worthy of being a top-level inside player!"

Kenny Smith also nodded repeatedly to show his agreement: "Yes, Davis' performance is indeed amazing. His reaction speed and defensive ability are impressive."

After Davis landed after the block, a hint of pride flashed in his eyes, and he passed the ball steadily to LeBron James.

However, the Lakers failed to launch a fast break counterattack and fell into a positional battle.

This time, Davis chose to make a comeback.

He stood in the same position, using the same moves, ready to challenge Clarkson again.

After the confrontation, he still turned quickly, but halfway through, he was blocked by Clarkson.

After all, it was impossible for Clarkson to suffer two losses in a row in the same position, and he successfully defended his position this time.

Davis, who failed to turn around, could only show off his dream footwork under the basket.

His footsteps were like a magician's techniques, ever-changing and unpredictable.

However, not all inside players can perform this kind of footwork.

After Davis successfully dribbled past Claxton, he failed to control his body's center of gravity well, and his shot was a bit too forceful.

At this moment, time seemed to freeze. Everyone held their breath, waiting for the sound of the basketball hitting the ground.

Fortunately, however, the ball hit the backboard and bounced into the net.

Davis scored 4 points in two rounds and blocked a shot on the defensive end, helping the Lakers overtake the score.

Lakers fans cheered and applauded Davis for his outstanding performance.

Commentators Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith were once again amazed by Davis's performance.

"Davis is amazing!" Charles Barkley shouted excitedly, "He has shown a very high level on both offense and defense. This shot and block are very impressive!" "Yes," Kenny Smith also nodded repeatedly, "Davis' performance is indeed amazing. Not only does he have excellent defensive ability in the interior, but he can also make key shots at critical moments. He is really a treasure of the Lakers!"

Davis himself remained expressionless, knowing that this was just part of the game.

He also needs to continue to be strong and strive to bring victory to the Lakers.

Claxton's defense is very strong, and it is not easy even for Davis to beat him easily. But this is the difference between stars and ordinary players. No matter how difficult it is, you have to bite the bullet and go for it at this time.

A star who cannot lead a team is not a good star. Davis is well aware that he has no way out.

After scoring the goal, Davis actually made a mocking gesture that the team often makes during the game as he retreated to the backcourt.

He put his palms close to the ground, which means on the basketball court: "You are too low-level to defend me at all."

James, Kuzma and others have done this move many times on the court. Although it is not exclusive to the Lakers, the Lakers do this move more frequently than other teams.

Whenever they successfully score, they celebrate with this gesture to demoralize their opponents.

However, the Nets players who were ridiculed naturally felt very unhappy.

After seeing Davis' celebration, Claxton clenched his fists tightly, his eyes flashing with anger, as if he wanted to burn every inch of the court.

He knew that this was a time to respond with action rather than arguing with words.

After the offense and defense switched, the Nets attacked, Rose held the ball, his eyes flashing with the cunning of a cheetah.

He used a smooth behind-the-back dribble to easily get past Wall's defense and head straight into the Lakers' restricted area.

Facing Davis who came to assist in defense, Rose passed the ball to Claxton this time.

At this time, Claxton's heart was already filled with anger. After taking the ball, he jumped with both feet and made a tomahawk slam dunk in the air.

His body stretched like a full bow in the air, like a brave warrior, facing Davis' defense, and dunked the ball hard.

With a bang, there was a loud bang in the sky. Claxton received the ball and successfully dunked over Davis, helping the Nets stop the bleeding.

This shot not only made the Nets fans cheer, but also made the Lakers fans silent.

They couldn't believe their eyes. Davis, who had just been mocking his opponent, was now being humiliated by his opponent.

After scoring the goal, Claxton imitated Davis's action, put his hands on the floor and mocked him back harshly.

There was a smug smile on his face, as if to say, "Look, I can do it, too. You're not much better than me."

At this moment, the atmosphere on the court became even more tense.

Davis stood there, his eyes flashing with anger and unwillingness.

He didn't expect that his ridicule would lead to such a strong counterattack.

He stared at Claxton closely, as if he wanted to engrave his every move in his mind.

……

The confrontation between Davis and Claxton on the court was like a war without the smoke of gunpowder.

They taunted each other and the atmosphere was full of tension, making everyone present feel the intensity and tension of the game.

Just now, Claxton's dunk was like a bomb, blowing up the entire stadium.

He stretched his body to the extreme in the air, like an eagle spreading its wings ready to fly. Even Davis found it difficult to defend against Claxton who was giving his all.

At that moment, time seemed to freeze, and everyone held their breath, waiting for the sound of the basketball hitting.

The basketball hit the basket hard, making a loud "bang", as if announcing Clarkson's victory.

When Yang Yi and Wang Meng in the studio saw this scene, they cheered loudly.

"Wow, Claxton's dunk just now was so beautiful!" Yang Yi shouted excitedly, "He stretched his body to the extreme in the air. This kind of momentum and strength is really amazing!"

Wang Meng also nodded and agreed: "Yes, Claxton relies on his body to play. His physical fitness is top-notch among inside players. Even if Davis' physical fitness is also very good, it is not easy to face the impact of Claxton head-on."

Zhu Fangyu, a special guest, also said with a smile: "The Lakers and Nets are obviously getting excited now. The players of both teams are ruthless and taunting each other. On the offensive end, they are all shooting the ball to the basket. It's very exciting. This kind of game is a real showdown, which makes people excited!"

Yang Yi nodded and agreed: "Yes, this kind of game is a real showdown. Players from both teams are trying their best to defeat their opponents. This kind of game is very enjoyable to watch!"

Wang Meng also added: "Moreover, the Nets players' ability to withstand pressure is really too strong. If it were a normal team, after being targeted by the referee, their mentality would probably have collapsed long ago. But the Nets were able to organize an effective counterattack on the court and fight back and forth with the Lakers. This kind of resilience and fighting spirit is really admirable!"

Zhu Fangyu also agreed: "Yes, the Nets are indeed a very good team. They have strong strength and an excellent lineup of players. Moreover, their players are very motivated and resilient, able to stay calm and fight back in difficult situations. This quality is very important for a championship team."

Several people nodded in agreement.

"Speaking of the Nets, we have to mention the veteran Rose who just played for a short time." Yang Yi changed the subject, "Although he doesn't have the speed of his youth, his experience is simply too valuable for the Nets. After he came on the court, he passed the ball to Wall very cleanly in these few breakthroughs. It was really amazing!"

Wang Meng also added: "Yes, Rose's experience and skills are indeed excellent. He can quickly make correct judgments on the court and pass the ball to his teammates accurately. This ability is very important for a team, especially when the game enters a critical moment."

Zhu Fangyu also agreed: "Yes, Rose is indeed an excellent player. His experience and skills are very important to the Nets. Moreover, he can also play a leadership role on the court and lead the team to victory. This kind of player is simply a treasure for a championship team!"

The three people in the studio nodded in agreement, their eyes flashing with admiration for the Nets players.

This match was indeed a very exciting match, which made people excited and enjoyable.

However, all three of them obviously hoped that the Nets would win, not only because the Nets head coach Lu Yong is Chinese, but more because the referee's whistle tonight made the Lakers look like villains.

In this situation, except for the Lakers' die-hard fans, almost all fans around the world are waiting for the Nets to win. (End of this chapter)
