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

The offense and defense switched, the Lakers attacked, and James used the same trick again, still playing pick-and-roll with Wall.

Facing the Lakers' pick-and-roll, Durant and Brunson chose to switch defense in this round.

This time, James faced off against Brunson outside the three-point line.

The eyes of the two players met in the air, as if two lightning bolts collided in the air.

James, the long-established superstar, is strong and muscular, like a lion ready to pounce; and Brunson, although he has not been in the league for long, is thin but not timid at all. Instead, he took the initiative to step forward and exerted tremendous defensive pressure on James.

James calmly responded to Brunson's defense. He slightly turned sideways and used his body to protect the ball to avoid being intercepted by Brunson.

At the same time, his eyes scanned the Nets' defensive position like a radar, looking for the best offensive opportunity.

At this moment, Porzingis gave up Kuzma and immediately went to the outside to double-team James.

However, James' reaction speed is equally amazing.

Before Porzingis had time to grab the ball, he decisively passed the ball to Kuzma.

After Kuzma received the ball, he took a jump shot from outside the 45-degree three-point line on the right without any hesitation.

The basketball drew a perfect arc in the air, and then with a "swish", it went into the net.

The Lakers overtook by one point!
The Lakers fans were immediately excited. They waved their flags and shouted the players' names.

However, the Nets players were not discouraged.

They quickly adjusted their mindset and prepared for the next round of attack and defense.

Quick serve from the baseline!
Cousins ​​of the Nets made a long pass to the frontcourt. After receiving the ball, Brunson sprinted to the frontcourt like lightning.

Wall quickly stepped forward to stop him, but Brunson was too fast. He dribbled the ball behind his back and passed Wall cleanly.

Wall thought to himself that this was not good, but he did not give up.

He quickly adjusted his center of gravity and pounced on Brunson again.

Although his movements were a bit clumsy, Wall's reaction speed was indeed amazing.

When Wall jumped to block the shot, Brunson had just completed his shot.

The moment the basketball left his hand, Wall's hand hit Brunson's fingertips directly.

At this moment, time seemed to freeze.

Everyone held their breath and watched this decisive moment.

If Brunson's shooting action had been a little slower, the ball might have been blocked.

However, at this critical moment, Brunson's shooting speed was astonishingly fast, accurate and ruthless.

After the basketball left Brunson's fingertips, it spun at high speed and drew a beautiful arc in the air.

Then, with a "swish", the basketball hit the basket steadily.

The Nets took the lead again!

At this moment, the Nets fans seemed to have ascended from hell to heaven.

They cheered and applauded Brunson's wonderful performance.

The Lakers fans fell into a brief silence, all worried about the team.

This goal not only made the Nets fans cheer, but also made commentators Yang Yi and Wang Meng cheer loudly.

"Look at this shot, Brunson's shot is so beautiful!" Yang Yi shouted excitedly, his voice full of praise for Brunson's shot, "Before the Lakers' defense formation was in place and before they could react, he had already completed the attack. This speed and skill are really amazing!"

Wang Meng also nodded in agreement: "Yes, Brunson's shot was indeed eye-catching. He was like a sharp knife, piercing directly into the Lakers' defense. Moreover, his shooting speed was too fast, and the Lakers had no time to react."

However, just after Brunson hit the three-pointer, he raised his right hand towards the sideline referee, indicating that Wall hit his hand while defending and was suspected of a foul.

But the referee did not say anything and held the whistle in his mouth but did not blow it.

Brunson saw this and shook his head helplessly.

There was a hint of displeasure on his face, and he was obviously dissatisfied with the referee's decision.

He knew in his heart that the referee's whistle in this game seemed a little biased and he turned a blind eye to the Lakers' defensive actions.

"Oh, the referee's whistle tonight was too biased." Yang Yi sighed at the side, "Brunson's hand was clearly hit by the ball, but the referee turned a blind eye. If it was in another game, it would definitely be a foul."

Wang Meng also agreed: "Yes, the referee's decision is indeed a bit confusing. However, Brunson was not affected by it. He remained calm and focused. This is a true professional player!"

Brunson is facing an unprecedented test at this time.

The Lakers' offense surged like a tide, and James called out Brunson for the fourth consecutive time.

This time, Brunson and Durant chose to switch defense, trying to stop James' offense.

However, James changed his offensive style and started to play one-on-one with his back to the basket.

James' post-up play is as unstoppable as a tank.

Bang, bang, bang, he slammed backwards three times in a row, and each impact made Brunson feel like being hit by a huge rock.

Brunson gritted his teeth and resisted with all his might, but he was still easily crushed by James.

His steps staggered and he almost lost his balance, but he still stood there firmly, trying to stop James' attack.

However, James' power is too great.

He was like an unshakable mountain, pushing Brunson from outside the three-point line all the way to the basket.

Brunson's defense collapsed under James' strong offense, and he could only watch James approach the basket step by step.

At this moment, Porzingis rushed over again. He rushed into the paint like a flash of lightning, trying to help encircle James.

However, James was not panicked at all.

He calmly observed the situation on the court, and then when the double-team occurred, he passed the ball to Kuzma who was running on the weak side.

After Kuzma received the ball, he quickly took three steps.

His speed was as fast as a cheetah, and he broke through Porzingis' defense in an instant.

Before Porzingis returned to defense, Kuzma had already made a layup.

With a swish, the basketball went through the basket and the Lakers scored again.

This shot made the Lakers fans cheer.

They waved flags and banners and applauded and cheered for the team's wonderful performance.

At the same time, on the other side of the ocean in China, countless basketball fans are watching every frame of the screen through live broadcast.

The matchup between the Lakers and the Nets is not just a contest between two teams, but also a direct dialogue between two superstars, James and Durant.

At this moment, when James named Brunson for the fourth consecutive round, obviously targeting the young player of the Nets, the atmosphere in the live broadcast room was instantly ignited.

"James is such a grown-up, but he has lost all his dignity!" A comment flashed across the live broadcast room, and then more angry voices came like a tide, "He actually targeted Brunson in every round, which is a disgrace to his status as a star!"

The anger of Nets fans erupted like a volcano. They couldn't stand James' continuous "care" for Brunson.

"Maybe this is why Durant is the best player in the league, but James can't take this position." A Nets fan wrote in the comment, "No matter who Durant faces on the defensive end, he will use his unstoppable personal ability to play one-on-one, and never bother to find the opponent's defensive weaknesses. And what about James? He always scores by taking shortcuts. This is the gap between him and Durant!"

However, Lakers fans don't think so.

When they saw James repeatedly targeting Brunson, they thought it was a smart move by James.

"James plays basketball smartly!" A comment from a Lakers fan stood out in the live broadcast room. "He can always find the opponent's defensive flaws on the court with his IQ. He targeted Brunson for four consecutive rounds because Brunson is the weakest link in the Nets' defense. This just shows that James has a very high basketball IQ on the court!"

The words of the Lakers fans were full of praise and affirmation for James.

They believe that James' playing style is a reflection of wisdom and a display of basketball IQ.

At the same time, they did not forget to satirize Durant.

"Durant only knows how to use his physical talent to pull up and shoot outside," a Lakers fan wrote in the comment, "He doesn't use his brain at all when playing. He can't compare with James at all!"

This sentence is like a sharp sword, directly piercing the pain points of Nets fans.

The Nets fans, who were originally just venting their emotions, immediately stood up and started to refute when they heard the Lakers fans attacking Durant.

"Even if Durant is brainless, he is still the undisputed No. 1 player in the league!" a Nets fan wrote excitedly in the comment, "He may even surpass Jordan and win multiple championships before he retires! On the other hand, what about James? He has not won a single championship, but has won many runner-up titles! Why does he want to emulate Durant?"

This sentence was like a bomb, triggering a bigger quarrel in the live broadcast room.

Lakers fans were not to be outdone and stood up to defend James while continuing to attack Durant.

"James doesn't have a championship? That's because he was unlucky and met a strong opponent!" a Lakers fan wrote in the comment, "But look at his stats and performances, which one is not at the level of a superstar? Look at Durant, what else does he have besides physical talent?"

"Durant's physical talent is his greatest weapon!" another Lakers fan added, "But basketball is not just a competition of physical talent, it is also a competition of wisdom and experience. James is obviously better in this regard!"

Nets fans certainly won't give up easily.

They continued to defend Durant while also attacking James.

"James's stats are all faked!" a Nets fan wrote in the comment, "He only looks for weaknesses in the game and then uses his experience to score. This style of play is smart, but it lacks true competitive spirit!"

"Competitive spirit? Tell me what competitive spirit is?" a Lakers fan retorted, "Is it just like Durant, who only uses his physical talent to fight alone? Basketball is a team sport that requires wisdom and collaboration. James does much better than Durant in this regard!"

The argument in the live broadcast room became more and more intense, with fans from both sides insisting on their own opinions and refusing to give in.

Their words were full of support for their respective stars, but also revealed disdain and ridicule for their opponents.

However, behind this quarrel, there are deeper emotions.

For Lakers fans, James is their spiritual leader and their pride.

They cannot tolerate anyone questioning or attacking James.

For Nets fans, Durant is their hope and future.

They also cannot tolerate anyone belittling or mocking Durant.

This quarrel is not just a contest between fans of two teams, but also a collision of two emotions and two values.

In addition to the quarreling voices of the fans, there were also the voices of two domestic commentators, Yang Yi and Wang Meng, who were commenting on the game with concern.

"We can't keep playing like this. The Nets seem to have no way to deal with James and Wall's pick-and-roll tactics." Yang Yi's voice was filled with worry, his eyes fixed on the game screen, "This has been four consecutive rounds. James and Wall's pick-and-roll cooperation has repeatedly caused the Nets' defense to fail."

Wang Meng nodded and agreed: "Indeed, although Porzingis's help defense can prevent James from scoring easily, double-teaming James is not a wise choice. James' passing ability is very good, and he can always pass the ball before the double-team. Look at Kuzma's scores in these two rounds, which is the best proof."

Speaking of this, Wang Meng couldn't help but sigh.

As commentators, they understand the importance of this game better than anyone else.

And now, the Nets are clearly in trouble.

"What the Nets need most now is to find a way to crack the pick-and-roll tactics of James and Wall." Yang Yi pondered for a while and continued, "If they continue to play like this, Brunson's mentality will definitely collapse. He is still young, and facing a superstar like James, the pressure must be huge."

Wang Meng also nodded and agreed: "Yes, Brunson is an important part of the Nets. His performance will directly affect the overall strength of the Nets. If his mentality collapses, the Nets will be in real danger."

Having said that, both of them fell into deep thought.

"I think the Nets can try to change their defensive strategy." Wang Meng suddenly said, "They can try to use Durant to defend James, and let Durant use his height and wingspan to limit James' pick-and-roll. At the same time, other players can strengthen their off-ball entanglement with Wall and try not to give him the opportunity to form a pick-and-roll with James."

Yang Yi listened to Wang Meng's suggestion and nodded in agreement: "This method is worth a try. Durant's physical condition and defensive ability are very good. He is fully capable of defending James. Although it is very tiring, it is one of the few ways to free Brunson. This can reduce Brunson's pressure and allow him to have more energy to devote to offense." (End of this chapter)
