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

A minute later, Lakers head coach Vogel took the lead in making adjustments. He decisively replaced the main lineup with the intention of turning the situation on the court around.

Faced with such changes, Lu Yong did not rush to let the main players return to the field, but responded calmly.

He chose to replace Mitchell Robinson with Cousins. This adjustment seemed plain, but it contained a well-thought-out strategy.

The Nets took control of the offense again, with Brunson controlling the ball and observing the situation on the court keenly.

The Lakers' defensive layout did not seem to pay enough attention to Cousins. They chose to let Davis defend alone, which was undoubtedly a trust in Davis' defensive ability and also a challenge.

Brunson seized the opportunity and decisively passed the ball to Cousins ​​in the low post.

After receiving the ball, the inside giant immediately felt the pressure from Davis.

However, Cousins ​​did not panic because he knew his advantages - his huge body and superb skills.

After receiving the ball in the low post, Cousins ​​flexibly half-turned, switching from facing the basket with his back to face the basket.

This change created a gap in Davis' defense.

Davis reacted quickly, took a step forward, and tried to block Cousins' offensive route and not give him an easy chance to shoot.

However, Cousins ​​is no ordinary player.

Facing Davis' tight defense, he responded quickly and broke through to the left with the ball.

At the moment when his body collided violently with Davis, Davis's solid body actually took a step back.

This collision not only demonstrated Cousins' obvious advantage in tonnage, but also highlighted his strength and determination in the confrontation.

Taking advantage of the small space created by the collision, Cousins ​​demonstrated his solid basic skills.

He did not waste this rare opportunity. He made an easy layup with his left hand. The basketball drew a beautiful arc in the air and fell steadily into the basket.

"Shh!"

Cousins' goal not only broke the deadlock on the court, but also boosted the morale of the Nets.

The Lakers players looked at each other, obviously not expecting Cousins ​​to be able to score such a wonderful goal under Davis' tight defense.

The Lakers attacked, and Wall once again stood at the top of the arc, his eyes determined, ready to launch a new round of offensive.

The Lakers players quickly took their positions on the court, ready to execute their signature tactic - pick-and-roll.

Wall cooperated well with his teammates and played pick-and-roll tactics at the top of the arc.

He dribbled the ball swiftly, his eyes revealing his desire for victory.

However, this time, his road to breakthrough was not smooth.

When he broke into the penalty area, he was suddenly faced with double defense from Cousins ​​and Porzingis.

Cousins ​​used his huge body to block Wall's path like a mountain.

He didn't care about Wall's fake moves at all, just raised his arms high, ready for battle.

His defensive strategy was very clear - just wait for Wall to shoot and then jump to interfere.

Although Wall was a little afraid of facing such defense, he did not give up.

He tried to use a fake move to shake Cousins ​​off, but the latter was as solid as a rock and remained unmoved.

Wall had no choice but to force a layup.

However, at the moment he shot, Cousins ​​leaped up like a cheetah. Although he failed to block the shot, he actually interfered with Wall's layup.

Wall's shot drew an arc in the air and bounced out of the rim.

Porzingis was quick-eyed and quick-handed, grabbing the backcourt rebound in the first time.

He held the basketball tightly, his eyes sharp, and quickly passed the ball to Brunson, launching the Nets' counterattack.

After receiving the ball, Brunson rushed forward like an arrow.

Wall rushed back to defense at full speed, trying to stop Brunson's attack.

Both of them were very fast and soon it was a one-on-one situation.

Wall stuck close to Brunson, trying to use his body to disrupt his dribble.

However, Brunson was not afraid at all. He used his excellent ball-handling ability and speed to rush to the basket at full speed.

Seeing that he could not stop Brunson's attack, Wall simply resorted to a tactical foul and pulled Brunson down.

The referee's whistle sounded, and Wall's foul gave the Nets a sideline ball.

During the dead ball phase, coach Lu Yong waved his hand and made another substitution.

Durant, Mitchell and other main players all returned to the court, and the Nets started to get serious.

The Nets served the ball from the sideline, and the audience's attention was focused on the offensive and defensive round that was about to unfold.

Durant passed the ball steadily to Mitchell. At this moment, the atmosphere on the court suddenly became tense.

Porzingis quickly stepped up and cleverly set up a pick-and-roll for Mitchell.

His huge body was like a wall, blocking the Lakers' first line of defense for Mitchell.

With the help of this exquisite screen, Mitchell easily got rid of the defense and dribbled towards the free throw line.

However, the Lakers' defensive core Davis had already provided assistance and stood in front of Mitchell.

Facing this defensive stalwart, Mitchell was not at all flustered.

He paused and bent his knees slightly, as if gathering strength for his next move.

At the same time, his eyes were fixed on the basket, as if looking for the best time to shoot.

Davis immediately thought Mitchell was going to take a pull-up jump shot, which was his most likely move in this situation.

So he subconsciously jumped up to block Mitchell's shot.

However, this was just a carefully planned fake Buddha worship move by Mitchell.

At the moment Davis jumped up, Mitchell suddenly accelerated, bypassed Davis like lightning, and rushed straight to the basket.

Davis was shaken off and could only watch helplessly as Mitchell easily scored a layup.

At this moment, the entire stadium erupted in thunderous applause and cheers.

Commentator Yang Yi said excitedly: "It's so exciting! Mitchell's fake Buddha worship move was so realistic that even Davis was fooled by him!"

Wang Meng was also amazed: "Indeed, Mitchell's fake move was so perfect that it was hard to defend against!"

"This kind of action, which is very common on the street court, always makes people excited when it is put in the NBA. Mitchell has started to play it. It seems that the mentality of the Nets players is still very relaxed!"

The fans in the live broadcast room were extremely excited and left messages one after another:

"Mitchell is so awesome! This fake Buddha worship move is absolutely amazing!" "I was stunned even through the screen, Mitchell is so strong!"

"Davis was shaken off the court. Mitchell's performance was amazing!"

The Lakers attacked, and James stood outside the three-point line, his eyes flashing with desire for victory.

He clenched the basketball in his hands, dribbled forward, and scanned the court, looking for an opportunity to break through.

Suddenly, he accelerated towards the basket, as if he wanted to break through the Nets' defense directly.

However, when he was about to enter the penalty area, he suddenly stopped and passed the ball to Pope in the corner.

After receiving the ball, Pope immediately drew his bow and arrow, ready to shoot a three-pointer.

His actions were quick and decisive, showing that he grasped the opportunity.

However, at the moment he shot, Porzingis leaped up like a cheetah, jumped high on one foot, and successfully touched the basketball with his fingertips.

The ball fell quickly in the air, and Cousins ​​and Davis jumped at the same time, trying to compete for this key rebound.

Davis took advantage of his faster jumping speed to get the ball first.

However, before he could make the next move, Durant, who had just entered the court, reached back and cut the ball directly from Davis.

Durant successfully stole the ball and launched a counterattack. He dribbled across half court and rushed into the Lakers' territory like lightning.

Seeing that Durant was about to rush into the penalty area, James accelerated decisively, apparently wanting to block the shot like he did when he was young.

However, Durant had already rushed forward at this time. He took three steps forward with firm steps and leaped into the air facing James' defense.

In the air, Durant and James' bodies almost collided, but Durant was not afraid at all. He slammed the ball into the basket with one hand in the air, completing a slam dunk over James.

"boom!"

The entire stadium seemed to be quiet at this moment, with only the sound of the basketball hitting the basket.

As the basketball landed, the entire stadium erupted in deafening cheers, as if it was instantly ignited.

Commentators Yang Yi and Wang Meng jumped up from their seats with excitement, their voices trembling with excitement.

"Wow! So shocking! Durant's shot was so tough!" Yang Yi shouted loudly, his face full of disbelief and admiration.

Wang Meng did not hide his excitement: "This is the strength of a superstar! Durant was able to complete such a dunk when facing James' defense. It's amazing!"

Yang Yi went on to say: "We can see that Durant stretched out completely in the air, and his explosive power at that moment was amazing. This is not just a dunk, but also a declaration of his attitude towards the game!"

"Yes, such dunks can really boost morale." Wang Meng added, "The Lakers should be careful next time. Durant and the Nets have shown their determination and strength."

At this time, the barrage in the live broadcast room also started to scroll wildly, and the enthusiasm of the fans was completely ignited.

"Durant is awesome! This dunk is so domineering!"

"I was shocked to see James being dunked on! Durant is so strong!"

"This is why I choose to watch basketball games! It's so exciting! Good job, Durant!"

"James tried his best, but Durant's shot was unstoppable! He was too strong!"

"This game is worth it! Seeing such a dunk, I am already satisfied!"

As the enthusiasm of the fans continued to grow, the game entered a white-hot stage.

Durant's dunk not only won valuable points for the Nets, but also put tremendous pressure on the Lakers on the spiritual level.

Yang Yi continued to comment: "Durant is in really hot form today. He seems to have found his rhythm. The Lakers need to adjust their strategy as soon as possible to cope with the performance of this superstar."

Wang Meng also analyzed: "Indeed, Durant's performance is crucial to the Nets. He not only shows strong strength on the offensive end, but also creates huge troubles for the opponent on the defensive end. The Lakers need to find a way to limit his performance, otherwise the game will become more difficult."

In the live broadcast room, the fans' discussion became more and more heated.

They all expressed their admiration for Durant and their anticipation for the next game.

"Durant is really omnipotent! I am really looking forward to the next game now!"

"This game has become a classic! Durant's dunk will become an eternal memory!"

"No matter what the result is, this game is worth remembering! Well done to Durant!"

As the game progressed, every moment was full of tension and excitement.

Durant's dunk was undoubtedly the most exciting moment of the game, driving all the fans crazy.

After Durant's stunning dunk, the intensity of the game reached a new level.

In the next few minutes, the Nets and the Lakers engaged in a evenly matched contest, with both sides trying their best to take the initiative on the court.

Durant continued his hot form, frequently using his personal abilities to make quick stop jump shots.

Every time he gets the ball, the audience's eyes are focused on him, looking forward to his next wonderful performance.

Durant did not disappoint, relying on his excellent skills and accurate shooting touch, he put the basketball steadily into the basket time and time again.

Whenever the sound of the basketball hitting the net was heard, the Nets fans would burst into warm applause and cheers.

In addition to Durant, Mitchell and Cousins ​​also scored wonderful goals, using their personal abilities to continuously cause damage to the Lakers' defense.

Cousins, in particular, seemed to be returning to his peak tonight. Even when facing the blockade of defensive giant Davis, he made many breakthroughs under the basket, showing the shadow of the league's former No. 1 center.

However, the Lakers will not let the Nets dominate easily.

As the leader of the team, James also demonstrated his comprehensive abilities.

He constantly assisted his teammates in scoring by breaking through and passing the ball, and organized the Lakers' offense in an orderly manner.

Whenever James gets the ball, he calmly observes the situation on the court and then makes the most reasonable choice.

His passes are accurate and timely, always allowing his teammates to receive the ball in the best position and score easily.

As the game progressed, the scores of both sides rose alternately and the situation on the field became increasingly tense.

Although the Nets maintained their lead, the Lakers were trying hard to catch up.

Every time the Lakers scored, their fans would burst into cheers to cheer for the team.

In such a fierce confrontation, half time passed quickly.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the first half, the score was fixed at 62:53, and the Nets ended the first half with a 9-point lead.

Although the Lakers also showed good strength in the game, the Nets successfully took the lead in the first half with Durant's outstanding performance and the tacit cooperation of the team.

But for the Lakers, this result is already very good.

After all, they were defeated miserably in the last encounter, and tonight at least they showed that they still had the strength to fight. (End of this chapter)
