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

Time flies, and two days have passed in the blink of an eye.

The Staples Center in Los Angeles was bustling with people. Countless fans were already in their seats, excitedly waiting for the game to begin.

Today, the Lakers will host the Nets in the third game of the finals at home.

This is a crucial game and the domestic media will certainly not miss it. The two commentators Yang Yi and Wang Meng also came to the studio early, ready to bring exciting commentary to the fans.

Before the game officially started, Yang Yi and Wang Meng introduced themselves as usual, and then began the pre-match analysis.

They know very well that this game is of great significance to the Lakers. The losses in the first two games have pushed the Lakers to the edge of the cliff.

The Nets led by a big score of 2:0, firmly holding the advantage in both strength and score.

However, in the history of the NBA Finals, there have been times when a team has staged a comeback after falling behind 0:2.

The Heat led by Wade did this before. They were behind 0:2, but eventually won four games in a row and turned the tables on the Mavericks.

"The Lakers are in a very difficult situation right now," Yang Yi said. "The Nets are very strong. They have excellent players and a great coaching team, and the first two games have fully demonstrated that."

Wang Meng continued, "Yes, the Nets' strength should not be underestimated. However, the Lakers are not without a chance. After returning to their home court, they may get some whistle support. And judging from the results of the second game, the Lakers have improved a lot compared to the first game of the finals."

"That's true." Yang Yi nodded. "The Lakers showed stronger fighting spirit and resilience in the second game. If they can solve James' free throw problem, they still have a chance of winning."

Wang Meng added: "James' free throw problem is indeed a key point that the Lakers need to solve. If he can be more stable at the free throw line, the overall strength of the Lakers will also be improved."

However, although Wang Meng gave an analysis that the Lakers might win, both he and Yang Yi were clearly more optimistic about the Nets.

After all, the Nets have a firm advantage in both strength and score, and their players are in excellent form.

"As a commentator, I certainly hope that the Lakers can find a solution in this game and make the game more intense," Yang Yi said. "But as a Chinese commentator, I naturally hope that the Nets can win the championship. After all, they have our Chinese players, and their victory will also bring more honor and encouragement to our Chinese basketball."

Wang Meng also expressed a similar view: "Yes, no matter what the result of the game is, the players will fight for it themselves. As commentators, we just hope that they can play to their best level and bring a wonderful game to the fans."

Inside the stadium, Lakers fans could no longer contain their excitement. They waved glow sticks, chanted the team's name, and waited for the players to make their shining debut.

Finally, the music of the entrance ceremony sounded, and the Lakers players, dressed in gorgeous jerseys, walked out of the player tunnel one by one.

Their eyes revealed determination and confidence, as if they had forgotten the losses in the previous two games and were ready to go all out in this home game.

The moment the Lakers players stepped onto the court, the Lakers fans at the scene immediately burst into deafening cheers.

They waved flags and banners to cheer for the team.

The entire stadium seemed to be swept by a heat wave, and the scene was extremely hot.

Although the finals score was 0:2 behind, the Lakers still had the support of many fans when they returned to their home court.

They believe that as long as the team can regain its form at home, there will be a chance to turn the tables.

However, when it was the Nets players' turn to play, the atmosphere on the scene changed subtly.

The Lakers fans stopped cheering and instead burst into boos.

They were full of hostility and dissatisfaction towards the Nets players, as if they wanted to pour out all their dissatisfaction.

The Nets players did not take the boos from the Lakers fans to heart.

After all, they are players who have seen big scenes and are already accustomed to such scenes.

They smiled slightly, as if provoking or ignoring, which made the Lakers fans even more angry.

The Nets players walked out of the player tunnel one by one, their eyes revealing calmness and confidence.

They knew that this game was crucial to the team and only by going all out could they win.

They encouraged each other and prepared to meet this difficult challenge.

At the same time, the live director also turned the camera to a beautiful figure on the Lakers bench.

It was Hannah Murray, who was reported to be dating Nets head coach Lu Yong a few days ago.

When the camera turned to Murray, she appeared calm and composed.

She first waved at the camera, causing screams from the male fans at the scene.

Then she looked around, took the "Nets Must Win" sign from the fans around her, and held it high to express her position.

This scene warmed the hearts of the Nets players who were warming up on the court.

When they saw Murray supporting the team so much, smiles immediately appeared on their faces.

They all turned around and looked at Lu Yong in the coaching booth, grinning evilly.

It seemed as if he was saying to Lu Yong: “Coach, we have decided on this sister-in-law!”

Lu Yong also responded to the players' gazes with a smile.

He knew what this game meant to the team.

He also knows that Murray's presence gives the players extra motivation.

Although the Lakers fans at the scene were unhappy, they could only respond with boos after seeing Hannah Murray's stunning beauty.

This game is crucial for the Lakers. Only by giving their all can they win. They just hope that the team can regain its form at home and bring a victory to the fans.

At the same time, Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith in the commentary booth naturally noticed this scene.

When they saw Hannah Murray take the "Nets Must Win" sign and hold it high, both of them couldn't help laughing.

"Haha, look at Coach Lu Yong, he is so lucky!" Charles Barkley joked, "Having a girlfriend as beautiful and considerate as Hannah Murray is really enviable."

Kenny Smith also echoed, "Yes, Coach Lu Yong is indeed a winner in life. However, look at the Lakers head coach Vogel. They are both head coaches, but why is there such a big gap? He was booed all the time on the road, but when he returned to his home court, he was stunned by Hannah Murray's aura. This is really an interesting comparison!" Charles Barkley laughed so hard when he heard this: "Haha, Coach Vogel really should enjoy life. Look at him, he has a serious face, as if the whole world owes him money. And Coach Lu Yong, with a beauty like Hannah by his side, is naturally in a good mood, and his morale is also up."

"That's right, Charles." Kenny Smith nodded. "Although the game hasn't started yet, the morale of the Nets has already been gathered under the leadership of Hannah Murray. Look at those Nets players. The smiles and confidence on their faces are obviously influenced by Hannah."

"Yes, this is the power of beauty!" Charles Barkley exclaimed, "Hannah Murray is not only beautiful, but also knows how to cheer up her boyfriend and the team at critical moments. Such a woman is really rare!"

The banter and discussion between the two not only eased the tense atmosphere before the game, but also made the audience feel more relaxed and entertained while waiting for the game to start.

At this time, Lakers head coach Vogel was indeed standing on the sidelines with a serious face as Kenny Smith said.

He is well aware of the importance of this game to the Lakers and the pressure on his shoulders.

He glanced at Hannah Murray in the audience and couldn't help but feel an inexplicable emotion in his heart.

He admitted that Hannah's beauty and aura were indeed hard to ignore, but as a head coach, he was more concerned about the results of the game and the morale of the team.

Vogel took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

He knew that he could not be distracted by external factors and had to concentrate fully on the game.

He glanced at the players around him, his eyes revealing determination and confidence.

Vogel knew in his heart that these players, like him, were eager to win a home game.

As the game time approaches, the Lakers players begin their final warm-up and preparation.

However, at this moment, something interesting happened.

The Lakers' on-site director seemed to want to create some topics, and actually pointed the camera closely at the face of Nets head coach Lu Yong.

Such a close-up shot of the face is undoubtedly a provocation to Lu Yong himself.

Lu Yong’s face was clear on the big screen, and you could even see the subtle expressions on his face.

When the Lakers fans at the scene saw this scene, they immediately booed louder than before.

They waved slogans and flags, expressing their strong dissatisfaction and hostility towards Lu Yong.

However, surprisingly, Lu Yong was not angry at the scene, but smiled slightly.

He first turned and blew a kiss in the direction of Hannah Murray, as if to say, "Look, honey, this is my charm on the road."

Then he put his right hand next to his ear and made Iverson's classic listening gesture.

His eyes revealed a kind of provocation and teasing, as if to say: "What? Have you guys not eaten yet? Boo louder, I can't hear you at all!"

At this point, the Lakers fans at the scene were completely furious.

They thought that Lu Yong would be more low-key when traveling on the road. After all, a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. This is Los Angeles, not Brooklyn.

But no one expected that Lu Yong would be so bold as to openly provoke Lakers fans at the Staples Center.

The anger of Lakers fans was instantly ignited.

They began to boo even louder, trying to express their dissatisfaction and protest against Lu Yong in this way.

However, Lu Yong didn't seem to care, and his smile became even brighter.

He knew that he had successfully stirred the emotions of Lakers fans, and that was the effect he wanted.

The atmosphere at the scene became extremely hot and the fans' emotions reached a boiling point.

They waved glow sticks and banners and shouted the name of the team, trying to cheer themselves up in this way.

However, Lu Yong's provocation made them feel even more angry and helpless.

Lakers head coach Vogel also noticed this scene.

His brows were furrowed, and his eyes revealed dissatisfaction and worry.

He knew that Lu Yong's provocation had successfully stirred up the emotions of Lakers fans, which might have an adverse impact on the game.

He glanced at the players around him, and their eyes also revealed anger and dissatisfaction.

"Everyone calm down," Vogel whispered, "Don't be affected by Lu Yong's provocation. We must focus on the game and use our strength to defeat the Nets."

The players nodded when they heard this, they knew that what the coach said made sense.

However, Lu Yong's provocation was like a thorn in their hearts, making them feel unbearable.

They looked at each other, their eyes revealing determination and resolve.

They know that only by speaking with strength can they make Lu Yong and the Nets pay the price.

On the other side, Yang Yi and Wang Meng in the studio also noticed this scene.

When they saw Lu Yong respond to the provocative actions of the Lakers staff with practical actions, they couldn't help but cheer loudly.

"Haha, look at Coach Lu Yong, his emotional intelligence is really high!" Yang Yi couldn't help but praise him, "Faced with the provocation of the Lakers' live director, he not only didn't get angry, but responded in this way. It's really smart!"

Wang Meng also echoed, "That's right, Coach Lu Yong has never been a person who is willing to suffer a loss. The Lakers' on-site director's blatant face-to-face behavior was obviously a provocation to him, but Coach Lu Yong did not back down at all. Instead, he taught the Lakers a lesson with practical actions. This ability to stabilize the morale and boost morale is what an excellent coach should have!"

Yang Yi continued, "That's right, Wang Meng, look at Coach Lu Yong's flying kiss and listening action, it's just too classic. He not only responded to the boos of the Lakers fans, but also successfully provoked their emotions. In this way, the morale of the Nets players will definitely be higher, and the Lakers players may lose their cool because of anger. This is simply a psychological warfare!"

Wang Meng nodded and said, "That's right, Yang Yi, you are right. Coach Lu Yong's move not only demonstrated his high emotional intelligence and quick response ability, but also successfully stabilized the team's morale and boosted morale. In this way, the Nets will definitely be more motivated and motivated in the next game. And what about the Lakers? They may lose their minds because of anger, which is a big challenge for them!"

Half a minute later, the booing from the Lakers fans finally died down.

Lu Yong was very satisfied with the reaction of the Lakers fans at the scene. He knew that he had successfully aroused their emotions, which was exactly the effect he wanted. (End of this chapter)
