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

The Nets' performance tonight was like divine help, their offense was as surging as the tide, and the players cooperated perfectly, as if every pass and every shot was carefully calculated.

The lead has quietly approached double digits, and the cheers of Nets fans are rising one after another, as if they have seen the dawn of victory.

However, at this moment, the three referees quietly exchanged glances, as if there was an invisible tacit understanding flowing between them.

In the next round, when Davis of the Lakers made a strong breakthrough and was about to make a layup against Cousins ​​of the Nets, the referee's whistle suddenly sounded, sharp and piercing.

Cousins, with his hands raised, was stunned. He looked at the referee with confusion and anger in his eyes, fearing that the referee would call a foul again.

However, the result was just as he expected. The referee made a foul gesture and called the foul on him without hesitation.

Cousins ​​was furious when he heard the penalty.

He has never been a good-tempered person, but as he has grown older in the past two years, his temper has become more restrained.

But faced with the referee's repeated incorrect decisions, he could no longer tolerate it.

He quickly stepped forward and shouted at the referee: "What on earth are you whistling? If you can't see clearly, just retire and don't embarrass yourself here!"

His voice was like thunder and his anger could be heard throughout the stadium.

Cousins ​​knew he was definitely going to be substituted out again, so he turned around and walked straight to the sidelines, each step seeming so heavy.

After hearing Cousins' crazy output, the referee was about to give him a technical foul, but the Nets fans at the scene shouted "black whistle" slogans in protest.

The huge noise seemed to blow off the roof of the arena. They spoke up for Cousins ​​and fought for justice for the Nets.

The Lakers fans on the other side cheered loudly, enjoying the intensity and chaos of the game.

For a moment, the entire stadium became extremely lively, with noise and questioning voices intertwined together, forming an indescribable atmosphere.

In such an atmosphere, the referee silently withdrew his gesture of wanting to call a technical foul on Cousins.

He understood that the situation was gradually getting out of control, and if he gave another technical foul, it would easily cause unnecessary trouble.

On the court, Davis went to the free throw line.

He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, trying to calm himself.

The Lakers fans at the scene thought Davis could score easily, after all, he is an experienced player.

However, amid the noisy crowd, Davis performed poorly.

The basketball in his hand seemed to become extremely heavy, and both of his free throws failed to hit the basket, wasting this scoring opportunity.

This scene made many Lakers fans' faces turn red, and they angrily cursed Davis as a waste.

However, Davis just lowered his head silently. He knew that his abnormality was due to the noise and chaotic atmosphere at the scene.

When the Nets players saw this scene, they gathered around Cousins ​​to comfort him.

They know the difficulties and persistence of this veteran, and understand his importance to the team.

Durant patted Cousins ​​on the shoulder and said, "Don't be angry, buddy. We know your strength and ability. The referee's decision does not represent your value."

Ross also came over and gave him a tight hug to show his support.

Lu Yong also stepped forward again to negotiate with the referee, expressing his dissatisfaction and protest against Cousins' unfair penalty.

Although it is useless, it can exert pressure.

Just as he thought, the referees looked at each other and finally just shook their heads helplessly without giving any clear response.

…………

Chinese fans on the other side of the ocean watched the game through live broadcast.

They were angry when they saw the referee's unfair penalty against Cousins ​​and Davis missed two free throws.

Fans supporting the Nets frantically spammed the live broadcast room, angrily scolding the referee for being shameless, saying that they had helped the Lakers so many times before and it was not enough, and they still planned to help the Lakers now.

They condemned the referee's unethical behavior and asked the league to investigate the referee's calls after the game.

"Is this referee the real father of the Lakers? Why does he always help the Lakers?"

"Damn it, how can we play this game? The referee has stepped out to cause trouble."

"Cousins ​​was called off right after he came on. Is this referee blind?"

"The league needs to take action right away. This referee is too shameless."

The anger and dissatisfaction of Nets fans continued to spread in the live broadcast room. They expressed their support for the Nets and condemned the unfair behavior of the referee.

The Lakers fans, who should have been in a good mood, were also cursing wildly in the live broadcast room, but they were not cursing the referee, but Davis who missed two free throws.

"Davis, what on earth do you do for a living? You can't even seize such a good opportunity."

"If you can't even make free throws, why play in the finals? Go home and farm."

"I'm so angry. Such a good opportunity was wasted like this."

The anger and disappointment of Lakers fans continued to escalate in the live broadcast room, and they expressed their dissatisfaction and disappointment with Davis.

The disputes and verbal battles between the fans of the two teams continued in the live broadcast room. For a while, the room was filled with gunpowder.

.........

Inside the stadium, in the audience seats.

Two Chinese basketball legends, Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, sat upright, their eyes revealing their attention to the game and their dissatisfaction with the referee's calls.

As players who have fought on this field before, they are well aware of the importance of the referee's fairness to the game.

However, the referee tonight seemed to have lost the balance of justice.

Yi Jianlian angrily said to Yao Ming beside him: "Dayao, the referees today are too shameless! They have been targeting the Nets since the beginning of the game. Now Cousins ​​was just substituted in and made two good shots, but he was immediately sent off again. How can we play this game?"

Yao Ming frowned when he heard this. He knew very well that if the league didn't want the series to end quickly in the finals, preferential treatment with the whistle would be inevitable.

But today the referee was obviously a bit too much, and his face was full of anger. However, as an experienced veteran, he still suppressed his emotions and said to Yi Jianlian beside him: "It's useless for us to be anxious. It seems that the league doesn't want the Nets to sweep this series. But I believe Coach Lu Yong will have a way. He is not a person who is willing to admit defeat. When faced with injustice, he will definitely stand up and respond. I hope the Nets can overcome this difficulty and win the championship smoothly."

Yi Jianlian nodded, but the anger on his face did not subside. He continued, "But Yao Ming, look at the referee's whistle. He is blatantly helping the Lakers! If this continues, how can the Nets play? The fans will not agree."

Yao Ming sighed and said, "Yeah, I didn't expect the referee to be so excessive. But A-Lian, don't forget that basketball games are not just a contest between players, but also a game between coaches, team management and even the league. Sometimes, some things are beyond our control."

Upon hearing this, Yi Jianlian fell into deep thought.

He knew that what Yao Ming said made sense, but as a player who loved basketball, he could not tolerate such injustice.

He continued, "But Yao Ming, we can't just watch the Nets get screwed by the referee! We have to do something."

Yao Ming smiled and said, "Don't worry, A-Lian. I believe that Coach Lu Yong and the Nets players will not give up easily. They will definitely respond to the referee's injustice with their own strength and hard work. As former players and current spectators, the only thing we can do is to give them the greatest support and encouragement."

Upon hearing this, Yi Jianlian nodded, and the anger in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by firm belief.

He knows that no matter how the referee whistles, no matter how biased the league is, the real winner will always be the team that speaks with strength and hard work.

…………

The scene was brightly lit and bustling with people.

The matchup between the Nets and the Lakers is like an epic with ups and downs, and every chapter is gripping.

At this moment, the game has entered a white-hot stage, and every attack and every defense touches the hearts of thousands of fans.

Davis missed both free throws, and the tense mood of the Nets fans instantly relaxed.

However, the Nets players who grabbed the rebound launched a counterattack like a cheetah.

During the fast break, Robinson, who had just replaced Cousins, was like a flash of lightning and received a wonderful pass from Brunson.

He was like a sharp knife, going deep into the basket, facing James's defense on the weak side, and scoring with a two-handed dunk.

This ball seemed to ignite the fire in the hearts of the Nets players and also ignited the enthusiasm of the fans at the scene.

The Nets' lead directly expanded to double digits, and the whole stadium was boiling.

The cheers and shouts of the fans intertwined together to form an unstoppable force.

Commentators Yang Yi and Wang Meng also cheered in the studio.

They know very well that although the referee's whistle tonight was very unfavorable to the Nets, the Nets are still playing well on the offensive end.

This was the first time they had a double-digit lead in this game, which was undoubtedly the best proof of their strength and fighting spirit.

"Look at the Nets, it really makes my blood boil!" Yang Yi said excitedly, "Although the referee's whistle has affected them a lot, their performance on the offensive end is still outstanding. Once this ball went in, the lead was directly expanded to double digits, which is really awesome!"

Wang Meng also nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, the Nets' performance today was indeed eye-catching. They were not affected by the unfair refereeing, but instead worked harder in the game. This kind of team is truly worthy of respect."

The two continued to analyze the game, their eyes keenly capturing the Lakers' predicament.

They said that the Lakers are now one foot to the edge of the cliff, and if they take another half step back they will be shattered.

If it weren't for the referee's bias, the Lakers would probably have lost the game long ago.

"The Lakers' current problem is obvious," Yang Yi said. "They lack firepower support on the offensive end. James is tired, and Davis missed two free throws. If this continues, it will be difficult for them to catch up."

Wang Meng also added: "Yes, the Lakers' only chance to overtake the score now is if Davis explodes in the interior. If he can blow up the Nets' interior, then the Lakers still have a chance to win this game. Otherwise, it will be difficult for them to win."

Yang Yi pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose: "The Nets have a very solid lineup inside, but Davis is an All-Star inside player at the No. 1 pick level after all. He is not like Wall, who has fallen from his peak. He should have played a dominant performance in this series, but unfortunately, Davis has not been able to produce the data that people expected until now. Tonight is his last chance. Everyone wants to see what Davis can do if he lets go."

The two's analysis was easy to understand and pointed out the Lakers' predicament while also giving them suggestions on how to turn defeat into victory.

However, as public figures, they cannot express their dissatisfaction as directly as fans.

Although they were unhappy with the referee's call, they still maintained a professional and objective attitude.

As the two were talking, the Lakers' offensive round quietly began.

As Wang Meng analyzed, the Lakers knew very well that if they wanted to catch up with the score, they had to use more efficient two-point shots to attack the Nets' basket.

This is their only hope and an opportunity they must seize.

In the first round, James passed the ball to Davis.

At this moment, the entire stadium seemed to hold its breath, waiting for Davis' performance.

Davis showed his athletic advantage when facing Robinson.

He first received the ball with his back to the basket and then steadily entered his shooting area.

Then, he did a half turn with his right foot as the axis, his movements were smooth and natural, as if he was dancing an elegant dance.

Then, Davis turned around and made a jump shot.

At this moment, time seemed to freeze, and everyone stared at the basket with bated breath.

Although Robinson jumped up and blocked the shot, his physical talent was not as good as Davis'.

Under Davis' powerful aura, he seemed a little overwhelmed.

The basketball drew a perfect arc in the air and then went into the net.

With a swish, the sound of the basketball passing through the basket was crisp and pleasant, as if cheering for Davis' wonderful performance.

This goal was Davis's way of making up for his previous two missed free throws.

He used his strength and fighting spirit to help the Lakers narrow the score back to single digits.

At this moment, Lakers fans seemed to see the hope of catching up with the score.

They cheered and applauded Davis' wonderful performance.

The Nets fans seemed a little nervous, knowing that the Lakers had begun to fight back and the next game would be more intense and tense.

It is not easy to withstand this wave of pressure, especially when the referee is clearly on the other side. For the Nets, this game is a huge challenge. (End of this chapter)
