The sound waves in Staples Center surged like the tide. Every cheer and every shout seemed to blow the roof of the stadium off.

The Lakers players were all very excited amid the cheers.

They temporarily forgot their physical fatigue and the difficulties of the situation and devoted themselves more actively to defense.

This is a battle about honor and dignity. Everyone knows that only by giving their all can they leave their own name on this battlefield.

There was a determined gleam in Wall's eyes.

He knew very well that the outcome of this game might very well be decided in the duel between him and Rose.

Rose, the former MVP, is a player with extraordinary ball-handling skills and keen battlefield insight. His presence is undoubtedly a sharp sword for the Nets.

Wall pressed Rose closely, and he followed him like a cheetah, each step full of power and determination.

Every time Rose dribbles the ball, he will be subject to physical confrontation caused by Wall's active exertion.

However, even in such a fierce confrontation, the basketball was still firmly controlled by Rose, as if it had merged into his palm, giving Wall no chance to steal the ball.

This is the ball-handling level of the former MVP, steady and precise, and every move reveals his deep understanding of basketball.

Wall attempted several steals but was unsuccessful.

He knew very well that a one-on-one steal against Rose was almost an impossible task.

So he changed his defensive strategy, keeping his body close to Rose, but no longer attacking at random.

He wanted to use this method to consume Ross's physical strength, disrupt his rhythm, and make him gradually fall into trouble when he could not find a breakthrough.

However, Rose was not constrained by Wall's defense.

He sensed Wall's change and immediately launched an attack.

He stepped forward with his left foot, followed by his right foot. With a simple crossover step, he instantly passed Wall by one step.

Rose's passing and dribbling are not too fancy; it is simply an art of extreme simplicity.

Every movement he made was just right, saving energy while achieving the desired effect.

Wall could only continue to follow Rose from the side and observe his next move.

The cheers of Lakers fans rose one after another, as if they had seen the dawn of victory.

However, just as Wall was following Rose to the basket, Rose suddenly dribbled back from behind without any warning.

Then he stepped back to create distance between himself and Wall, and made a quick stop and jump shot from the left side of the free throw line.

The move was so sudden and so swift that Wall was caught off guard.

It was too late for him to defend, and he could only watch the basketball fly out of Rose's hands, draw a perfect arc, and then fall steadily into the basket.

"Shh!"

The crisp sound of the basket instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the Nets fans.

They seemed to be awakened by Rose's goal. They stood up one after another, waving flags and banners and making deafening cheers.

The Lakers fans were all shocked by Rose's performance, and their originally lively cheers instantly became silent.

Rose's shot not only helped the Nets stabilize the situation, but also brought about a drastic change in the atmosphere of the entire stadium.

He used his strength and wisdom to prove the charm of basketball - no matter how difficult the situation is, no matter how strong the opponent is, as long as you have faith in your heart, skills in your hands, and the battlefield in your eyes, you can create your own miracle.

At this moment, Rose seemed to have transformed into an artist on the basketball court.

Every dribble, every pass, and every shot of his seemed to paint his own color on the canvas.

And those colors are so bright, so vivid, and so contagious.

They not only made the Nets fans cheer wildly and get their blood boiling; they also shocked the Lakers fans and left them speechless.

Wall stood there, a trace of loss and helplessness in his eyes.

He knew that he had done his best.

But facing an opponent like Rose, he still felt a little overwhelmed.

He took a deep breath and then looked up at Rose.

His eyes were full of respect and admiration - this was recognition and respect for a truly strong man.

…………

At this decisive moment, time seemed to stand still.

Rose, the former MVP player, showed his unparalleled basketball skills against the Lakers' defensive stalwart Wall.

In a one-on-one duel, Rose used his skillful dribbling and keen insight into the battlefield to leave Wall helpless.

The entire stadium was boiling in an instant, and the domestic commentators Yang Yi and Wang Meng also cheered loudly. Their voices penetrated the noisy stadium and reached the ears of every fan.

"He is worthy of being the former MVP player!" Yang Yi shouted excitedly, "Look at this ball, how steady and calm! Rose is a natural scorer!"

Wang Meng couldn't help but admire him, "Yes, there may be fake No. 1 picks, but there definitely aren't any MVPs! Rose has proven this with his own strength. Even with injuries and age, he can still play a stabilizing role in such crucial games."

The two commentators' praises came like a tide, making the fans in the live broadcast room even more excited.

They left messages in the discussion area, praising Rose's outstanding performance.

"Rose is a legend!" a fan wrote excitedly, "Look at this ball, what a classic! He has proved with his own strength that even age and injuries can't stop him from moving forward!"

"That's right!" Another fan echoed, "Rose is a natural leader! On the court, he can always use his performance to inspire his teammates and lead the team to victory!"

"Look at the Lakers players, they are all shocked by Rose's performance!" a fan commented, "This is the strength of MVP! No matter what kind of opponent he faces, he can stay calm and play to his level!" "Rose, he is an artist on the basketball court!" another fan exclaimed, "Every dribble, every pass, and every shot of his seems to be swaying his own colors on the canvas. And those colors are so bright, so vivid, and so contagious!"

"I really hope Rose can keep doing this!" a fan said with emotion, "He has proved with his own strength that even age and injuries can't stop his love and pursuit of basketball!"

"That's right!" Another fan echoed, "Derrick Rose is a real basketball warrior! On the court, he will never give up and will always fight for victory!"

The fans in the live broadcast room were talking about it, and they were all shocked by Rose's outstanding performance.

The two commentators, Yang Yi and Wang Meng, also continued their praises.

"Look at Rose's shooting posture," Yang Yi exclaimed, "How standard and smooth! This is the posture a true scorer should have!"

"Yes," Wang Meng also agreed, "and Ross's ball handling ability is also first-class. He can always stay calm at the most critical moment and solve the problem in the simplest way."

"That's right," Yang Yi continued, "This is the strength of MVP! No matter what kind of opponent he faces, no matter what situation he is in, he can always maintain his level and show his strength!"

"Yes," Wang Meng also said with emotion, "Rose is a true basketball superstar! His presence is a beautiful landscape on the basketball court!"

The praise from the two commentators made the fans in the live broadcast room even more excited.

"Rose is worthy of being the former MVP, this shot is really tough!" a fan wrote, "Every shot he takes seems to be creating a miracle! I really hope he can keep this state!"

"That's right!" said another fan, "Rose is a natural scorer! On the court, he can always prove his worth with his own strength!"

"The Lakers players were all stunned, with incredible expressions. They were probably wondering what was wrong with this veteran. How could he return to his peak during the game? Hahaha." A fan laughed, "They were all shocked by Rose's performance. This is the strength of an MVP! Come on, Rose, beat the Lakers hard!"

"My youth is back! This is the Rose I remember!" another fan said with emotion, "Even if his legs are broken and he's older, so what? He's still awesome at the crucial moment!"

As Rose made this mid-range pull-up jump shot, countless Rose fans shed tears.

The praise from commentators Yang Yi and Wang Meng and the heated discussions among fans in the live broadcast room pushed the game to a climax.

Rose has proved with his own strength that even with the influence of injuries and age, he can still play a stabilizing role on the court and lead the team to victory.

While commentators Yang Yi and Wang Meng were still praising Rose's wonderful goal, the Lakers had already launched a new round of attack.

This time, the ball was in James' hands. He advanced quickly like a beast, intending to tear through the Nets' defense.

Durant followed closely behind. He knew very well that he could not compete with James in terms of strength, so he chose to make up for it in speed, trying to seize the defensive position in advance to avoid being physically overwhelmed by James.

However, just as Durant took a step forward, the referee's whistle suddenly sounded, and Durant was called for a defensive foul.

Durant was stunned by the sudden penalty. He looked at the referee in disbelief and immediately stepped forward to explain: "How did I call it a foul? My movements were very clear. I didn't touch him at all!"

The referee maintained the penalty expressionlessly and explained: "When you took a step forward, your lower limbs touched LeBron's thigh, so this ball is a defensive foul."

Durant obviously couldn't accept this explanation. He continued to argue, "But LeBron defended me the same way just now. Why didn't you call a foul on him?"

Faced with Durant's questioning, the referee was too lazy to explain this time and just turned and walked aside.

Because he really couldn't explain it. This double-standard penalty was obviously intended to favor the Lakers.

Durant saw the referee's bias and knew that it would be useless to argue further, and he might even be called for a technical foul.

So he chose to calm down, but head coach Lu Yong was still angry.

He stood up from the coaching booth and yelled at the referee: "What the hell are you blind people whistling? It's a complete black whistle. Believe it or not, I will make you lose your jobs!"

Lu Yong's anger instantly ignited the atmosphere at the scene, and Nets fans began to boo in dissatisfaction.

They could see that the contact between Durant and James in the previous round was almost negligible, but the referee chose to whistle.

Now, the foul was even called on head coach Lu Yong. This is simply intolerable.

"What a bullshit call!" a Nets fan shouted angrily.

"Is the referee blind? How can he call a foul like this?" another fan echoed.

"Black whistle! A blatant black whistle!" The Nets fans at the scene shouted loud curses and insults, accusing the referee of favoritism.

Faced with Lu Yong's curses and the fans' protests, the three referees seemed a little at a loss.

They knew the weight of the legendary head coach Lu Yong, and also understood that their decisions on the field had indeed caused controversy.

However, according to the rules, the head coach would definitely be called for a technical foul if he rushed into the court.

The referee hesitated for a moment, but finally made a "T" gesture to Lu Yong and called a technical foul on him.

This penalty completely ignited the anger of the Nets fans. They stood up, waved banners and flags, and made deafening protests.

They could not accept such an unfair judgment, and even more so could not accept the referee's insults against Lu Yong.

"Get out of here, referee! Shameless referee!" Nets fans kept cursing, expressing their dissatisfaction and protest against the referee in their own way.

Durant and Lu Yong stood on the sidelines, their eyes filled with anger.

In such a finals stage, the referee's decision can often determine the direction of the game.

What they are facing now is a referee team that is clearly biased towards their opponents.

"In this game, we not only have to face the challenge of the Lakers, but also the bias of the referee." Durant whispered to Lu Yong.

Lu Yong clenched his fists and said through gritted teeth: "It doesn't matter, Kevin, we won't give up because of the referee's bias. This is the stage of the finals, and fans all over the world are watching. Today I will slap him in the face!"

At this moment, the Nets and their fans seem to be united by an invisible force.

They expressed their desire for victory in their own way.

Facing the referee's bias and the Lakers' strong strength, Lu Yong vowed to win the game. (End of this chapter)
