Reporters scurried around looking for people to interview who could further push the topic.

In this trend, Chris Washington, a well-connected veteran reporter, stood out. He obtained an exclusive interview opportunity due to his deep friendship with Lakers star Wall.

Early in the morning, Washington stood guard in front of Wall's home.

When Wall saw his old friend outside the door, he showed a surprised expression, but soon warmly invited Washington into the house.

The two sat in Wall's spacious living room. Washington first chatted with Wall as a friend, easing the tension in the interview.

Then, he cut to the chase and asked Wall: "John, what do you think of Nets coach Lu Yong's recent remarks?"

When Wall heard this, he waved his hand, and an imperceptible sneer flashed across his face.

He was silent for a moment, as if he was organizing his words, and then replied slowly: "Actually, I have nothing to comment on. He has confidence in his team. This is a matter of course, and I can understand it. But, he said this , This kind of provocation will only make them suffer backlash."

While Wall was being interviewed, Davis, another Lakers star, was also "besieged" by reporters.

Davis has always been known for his approachable personality, which has made him a focus for reporters.

That day, Davis drove to the training facility as usual to prepare for daily training.

However, as soon as he got out of the car, he was surrounded by reporters who had been waiting for a long time.

Facing this sudden "enthusiasm", Davis was slightly startled, but quickly regained his composure.

"Mr. Davis, what do you think of Nets head coach Lu Yong's recent remarks?" A reporter couldn't wait to ask the question, and microphones and cameras were aimed at the Lakers' core insider.

Davis instinctively wanted to refuse the interview. He didn't like to express his opinions too much in front of the media, especially at such a sensitive moment.

But when he looked up and saw the expectant eyes around him, as well as the reporters who were working hard to get first-hand news, his heart softened and he decided to say something.

He coughed slightly, cleared his throat, and then spoke slowly: "First of all, what I want to say is that the strength of the Lakers is seriously underestimated by the outside world. We have an excellent lineup of players, a deep bench depth, and a coach. The team is well organized and we are always working hard towards a common goal.”

Although Davis' voice is not high, every word reveals his firm belief and desire to win.

Reporters rushed to record his remarks and prepare to publish them as headlines.

"So, what do you think of Coach Lu Yong's remarks?" Another reporter asked immediately, trying to get more valuable information from Davis.

Davis smiled slightly, shook his head and said: "I don't want to comment too much on coach Lu Yong's remarks. Everyone has their own opinions and expressions, and I respect his rights. But what I want to emphasize is, The Lakers are not afraid of any challenge. We have only one goal, and that is to win the championship. No matter what kind of opponent we encounter, we will go all out and play our style and level."

Davis' words revealed his infinite desire for victory and his deep affection for the team. He knows that as a member of the team, his responsibility is not only to fight on the court, but also to speak for the team at critical moments and boost the morale of his teammates.

As Davis finished speaking, the scene fell into a brief silence.

"Last question," a senior reporter broke the silence, "what strengths do you think the Lakers can exploit in the Finals?"

Davis thought for a moment and then replied: "The advantage of the Lakers is our team spirit and chemistry. We have a group of outstanding players, and everyone is willing to do everything for the team's victory. In addition, our coach The team is also very good. They are able to formulate the most effective tactics based on the characteristics of the opponent. In the finals, we will use our own advantages and not fall into passiveness at the tactical level.”

After the interview, Davis nodded to the reporters to say goodbye, then turned and walked into the training hall.

No matter how the outside world evaluates and expects their performance, it does not matter. What is important is that they must use practical actions on the court to prove their strength and value.

Reporters chatted at the door of the training hall and watched Davis enter the training hall.

But they did not leave, but chose to stick to it.

Because they know that James, the most famous of the Lakers' Big Three, has not yet appeared, and every interview he gives always attracts countless attention.

Today, they look forward to getting more insider information about the upcoming Finals from James.

The training lasted for nearly four hours. To reporters, this period of time seemed particularly long.

Finally, the door to the training hall opened again, and the Lakers players walked out one after another.

As soon as James' figure appeared, the reporters immediately perked up and rushed forward one after another.

There is a 20-minute media opening time after the training. This is a moment that reporters are eagerly awaiting.

They surrounded James on three levels inside and outside, with cameras and microphones pointed at the superstar.

"LeBron, what do you think of this round of the finals?" A reporter couldn't wait to ask the question.

James was not surprised by this. He thought for a moment and replied: "For me, every game is a battlefield where I go all out. As early as the start of the playoffs, I had already turned off social media. Because I never care about the opinions and evaluations of the outside world. No matter who the opponent is, I will play every game seriously."

Although James' answer was official, reporters were not satisfied.

Another reporter asked directly: "Throughout your entire career, the team you led has been defeated by Lu Yong many times in the playoffs. Now we meet the Nets led by Lu Yong again in the finals. What do you have? What do you think?"

This question obviously touched a certain nerve in James, and the expression on his face became obviously gloomy.

But soon, James adjusted his emotions and gave an answer: "The past games are just history. Now I am more concerned about the upcoming finals. The Lakers are definitely stronger than the Bucks and Heat in the Eastern Conference. The team is stronger, and although the first game is away, I am confident that I can lead the team to victory and strive for a good start.”

James' words revealed his desire to win and his confidence in the team.

His words seemed to be a reassurance, inspiring the surrounding Lakers fans.

However, reporters would not let him go.

Another reporter asked: "Coach Lu Yong said in the interview that the Nets' goal this season is the championship, and they are confident of sweeping the Lakers. What do you think of this?"

James was slightly stunned when he heard this, and a trace of stubbornness flashed in his eyes: "Sweep? That is not an easy task, and the Lakers are not vegetarians. The ownership of the championship is not said by words, but on the court. I'm looking forward to playing against the Nets to see if they really have the strength to sweep us."

James's words are undoubtedly a declaration of war on the Nets. His words are full of desire for victory and expectation of challenge.

Reporters at the scene recorded his remarks and prepared to publish them as headlines.

After the interview, James nodded to the reporters, then turned and left.

He knows that the next finals will be a tough battle.

As the content of James' interview quickly spread, the morale of the Lakers was further boosted.

Fans expressed their support and looked forward to their wonderful performance in the finals.

For Nets fans, James's response was just tough words. After all, he has never won against a team led by Lu Yong since he met him in the playoffs.

The media storm caused by Lu Yong's remarks continues to ferment, and the finals between the Lakers and Nets are becoming more and more anticipated.

Both sides have shown strong strength and confidence. Who can have the last laugh and win the championship trophy?
The answer to this question can only be revealed in the finals three days later. (End of chapter)
