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

James' block just now caused Oubre's body to lose balance in the air, and then he fell heavily to the ground.

The sound was like a huge rock hitting the ice, shocking everyone present.

Cousins ​​stood not far away and witnessed the scene.

His heart suddenly tightened, as if it was being grasped by an invisible hand.

He clearly remembered Oubre's helpless look in the air and the dull sound when his body hit the floor.

At that moment, he seemed to be able to feel Oubre's pain and helplessness.

Oubre was still lying in the Lakers' restricted area until the Lakers made a fast break layup.

Cousins ​​quickly rushed forward, bent down, and gently called Oubre's name.

Fortunately, the young man had a strong physique and the fall did not cause him much harm.

With the help of Cousins, Oubre slowly stood up. He clapped his hands to show Cousins ​​that he was fine.

Cousins ​​breathed a sigh of relief, but the anger in his heart did not subside.

His eyes widened, as if he wanted to engrave every detail on the court into his mind.

He patted Oubre on the shoulder and said firmly: "It's good that you're okay. I'll help you get back on track later."

Oubre nodded gratefully, knowing that Cousins' words were never empty words.

On the basketball court, Cousins ​​is the big brother who can protect him from the wind and rain.

As the game continued, the Lakers and the Nets were engaged in a fierce tug-of-war.

Every attack and every defense is like dancing on the edge of a knife. If you are not careful, you may fall into the abyss.

Finally, it was Cousins' turn to fulfill his promise.

During one of the Nets' offense, the ball was passed to Brunson.

He quickly looked around, looking for the best passing route.

At this time, he saw Cousins ​​standing in the low post, which was an unguarded gap.

Brunson passed the ball without hesitation, and Cousins ​​caught it steadily.

He took a deep breath, as if to concentrate all his strength in this moment.

Cousins ​​showed no fear at all when facing Davis' defense.

He used his powerful strength to hit twice in a row and created a little space.

At this moment, Cousins ​​suddenly turned around, his movements as smooth as flowing water.

He turned over and leaned back, then attacked!

At that moment, time seemed to stand still, and all eyes were focused on the spinning basketball.

Davis had anticipated Cousins' move, and he rushed forward immediately, trying to stop the attack with a block.

However, Cousins' shooting point is too high. He is like an insurmountable mountain that Davis cannot catch up with.

"Swish!" The basketball flew over Davis' head, drew a perfect arc, and then fell steadily into the basket.

At that moment, the whole stadium was boiling, and the Lakers players cheered as if they had seen the dawn of victory.

Cousins ​​stood there with a satisfied smile on his face.

He knew that the goal he just scored was not only to fulfill his promise to Oubre, but also to prove his own strength and value.

Cousins' goal was like a blockbuster bomb that exploded above the court, instantly igniting the team's morale.

He turned and retreated to the backcourt with steady steps, his eyes revealing determination and indomitable spirit.

However, the Lakers' fast break did not stop because of this. Instead, it was like a surging torrent, unstoppable.

The baseline ball was sent out quickly, like a flash of lightning across the sky, heading straight for Wall.

Wall was quick-eyed and quick-handed, grabbing the ball as if he had grasped the hope of victory.

He started quickly, like a speeding sports car, and instantly broke through the Nets' defense.

Near the sideline, Duncan stood like a towering mountain, trying to block Wall's advance.

However, Wall seemed to see through his thoughts, and he dribbled the ball behind his back and easily passed the opponent, as if he was showing his skills and wisdom to Duncan Robinson.

Wall was extremely fast. He ran all the way from the backcourt to the Nets' penalty area like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins and no one could stop him.

At this time, Oubre and LeVert became the Nets' last line of defense. They stared at Wall like two indestructible barriers.

Facing double defense, Wall was not afraid at all.

He took three steps and was about to attack the basket, as if he was showing his courage and determination to the whole world.

However, just as Oubre and LeVert jumped together and prepared to block the shot, Wall suddenly passed the ball behind him without looking at anyone.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still.

Everyone held their breath and stared at the spinning basketball.

The next moment, James appeared out of nowhere. Like a nimble eagle, he swooped down from the sky and grabbed the spinning basketball.

After receiving the pass, James jumped on one foot, as if declaring war on the sky.

He stretched his body like a full bow in the air, as if he wanted to concentrate all his strength at this moment.

With a bang, he slammed the ball into the basket, as if he wanted to smash it.

James used all his strength to dunk this dunk, and the basketball hoop was shaking up and down, as if cheering for his outstanding performance.

At this moment, the Lakers' morale reached its peak.

However, the Nets were not discouraged.

They quickly adjusted their status, strengthened their defense, and tried to stop the Lakers' offense.

However, the Lakers seemed to have found the key to cracking the Nets' defense. They continued to use fast breaks and breakthroughs to gradually narrow the score.

In the next few rounds, the two sides launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle.

Every attack and every defense is like dancing on the edge of a knife. If you are not careful, you may fall into the abyss.

However, the Lakers players seemed tireless. They kept running and fighting, as if they wanted to use their sweat to water the fruits of victory.

Wall's performance on the offensive end was particularly outstanding.

He constantly used his speed and skills to break through the Nets' defense and create scoring opportunities for the Lakers.

Davis is like a stabilizing force, guarding the Lakers' basket steadily. His defense and rebounding provide solid protection for the Lakers.

As time went by, the competition gradually entered a white-hot stage.

The scores of both sides rose alternately, and every score seemed to add a weight to the scale of victory.

The Lakers players, on the other hand, seemed to become more courageous as the game went on, constantly igniting the passion on the court with their wonderful performances.

Finally, in a fast break, Oubre received the ball again. He started quickly, like a flash of lightning that cut through the sky, and headed straight for the Nets' restricted area.

This time, he faced the entire Lakers defense.

However, Oubre seemed not to care and kept confusing the Lakers players with fake moves and changes of direction.

Just when everyone thought Oubre was going to score a layup, he suddenly made a wonderful pass and passed the ball to LeVert behind him.

LeVert was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He grabbed the ball, jumped up instantly, and slammed the ball into the basket.

At this moment, the whole stadium was boiling.

However, the game is far from over.

The Lakers quickly adjusted their status, stepped up their offense, and tried to pull one back.

In a crucial attack, James received the ball, he started quickly and headed straight for the Nets' penalty area.

Facing the Nets' close defense, James seemed to not care at all.

He took a deep breath, as if gathering strength.

Then he jumped up suddenly and raised the ball high above his head, as if he wanted to bring the entire court under his control.

With a bang, the basketball was slammed into the basket by James.

At this moment, the entire stadium seemed to be shocked, and everyone stared blankly at the still shaking basket.

This goal not only helped the Lakers narrow the gap to 3 points again, but also ignited the fighting spirit of the Lakers players.

They seemed to be infected by James' performance and continued to respond to the Nets' challenge with wonderful performances.

Offensive and defensive transition, the Nets attack.

Cousins ​​came to the low post again, his eyes determined, like an unshakable mountain, waiting for the ball to come.

However, this time, Davis adopted an unusual defensive strategy - defending from the front.

Davis has outstanding physical fitness and rarely uses the front-line defense method.

His physical fitness is enough to allow him to withstand any larger player, and at the same time, his speed is enough to entangle those nimble inside players.

However, facing Cousins, he had to change his strategy.

Cousins, once the league's top center, even though his athletic ability has declined significantly due to injuries, his skills and experience are still sufficient to give any opponent a headache.

Brunson stood on the outside holding the ball tightly, his eyes revealing determination and resoluteness.

He tried to pass the ball to Cousins, but Davis' athleticism was too great.

He jumped fast and high, like a nimble cheetah, ready to pounce on his prey at any time.

Brunson tried several times but failed to pass the ball. He felt a little anxious, but more helpless.

In the end, Brunson gave up the idea of ​​passing the ball to Cousins.

He started to attack on his own, knowing that at this critical moment, he must step up and contribute his strength to the team.

He used tentative steps and made fake moves outside the three-point line, like a cunning fox, trying to confuse Wall's defensive focus.

Wall stared at Brunson closely, not daring to relax at all.

He knew that Brunson was a very threatening attacker and that every shot he took could change the direction of the game.

However, Brunson seemed to see through his thoughts and suddenly accelerated towards the Lakers' penalty area.

Wall reacted quickly, following closely behind and trying to stop Brunson's attack.

However, Brunson seemed to have anticipated his move. After attracting Kuzma's help defense, he cleverly passed the ball to Oubre on the side.

After receiving the ball, Oubre rushed to the basket without hesitation.

He faced James who came forward to assist in defense, and used a difficult pull-up move in the air to avoid the block.

At that moment, time seemed to stand still, and everyone held their breath, staring at the spinning basketball.

A backhand layup, the ball went into the net!

This goal immediately ignited the Nets fans at the scene. Everyone stood up and cheered, and the screams were deafening.

In such an important fourth quarter, both teams put in many wonderful performances on both offense and defense.

After Oubre made the layup, he looked at James with a provocative look, as if responding to his previous block, and as if proving his strength to the whole world.

However, this move caused dissatisfaction among Kuzma.

Kuzma, the younger brother of the Lakers, has always wanted to stand up for his big brother James. He cannot tolerate anyone provoking his big brother like this.

Kuzma immediately rushed to Oubre, his eyes full of anger.

He pushed Oubre with his hand and said in a cold tone: "Boy, you should respect your seniors and put yourself in your position!"

Oubre naturally refused to accept it. He widened his eyes as if he wanted to devour Kuzma.

If it were James, he might take a step back, but facing Kuzma, he was not afraid at all.

He walked up to Kuzma and put his head on his head, and responded in a cold tone: "Who do you think you are? Mind your own business! You just hang around James like a dog!"

Kuzma was furious when he heard this.

He clenched his fists as if he was going to knock Oubre to the ground with one punch.

He gritted his teeth and spoke word by word: "Who am I? At least I know how to respect my elders, unlike you who only know how to talk nonsense!"

Oubre sneered, he was not afraid of Kuzma's threat.

He also clenched his fists and confronted Kuzma: "Respect your seniors? Haha, why should I respect you? Just because you are James's younger brother? Let me tell you, I, Oubre, don't buy it!"

The atmosphere on the field suddenly became tense, with the two men constantly trash-talking each other and neither willing to give in.

Their eyes were full of hostility and provocation, as if they wanted to defeat each other completely.

"How great do you think you are?" Kuzma continued, "Without Lu Yong, you are nothing! You are just a nobody and will never be a real superstar!"

Upon hearing this, Oubre was furious.

He couldn't tolerate Kuzma belittling himself like that.

He widened his eyes, as if he wanted to tear Kuzma apart: "Who do you think you are? You are just a dog next to James. How dare you bark at me?"

The war of words between the two became increasingly intense, with the sound echoing around the stadium and attracting the attention of countless fans.

Seeing this, the referee quickly stepped forward to pull the two apart and tried to calm the conflict.

However, the anger of the two did not dissipate. They still glared at each other, as if they wanted to defeat each other completely.

"Alright, alright!" the referee shouted, "Calm down, everyone! This is a court, not an arena! You should speak with your strength, not with your saliva!"

Kuzma and Oubre calmed down a little after hearing this.

However, they all knew that this war of words was not over yet, and the real battle had just begun. (End of this chapter)
