With the referee's whistle, the game started again.

The Lakers quickly organized an offense. Wall took the pass from his teammate as agile as a civet cat, dribbled across half court, and looked for the best passing opportunity with a sharp eye.

He shook his body and easily got rid of the Nets defender, then passed the ball steadily to James who was asking for the ball in the low post.

After James took the ball, he immediately demonstrated his unparalleled strength advantage.

He turned his back to Mitchell and began to move forward slowly like an unshakable mountain.

Although Mitchell tried his best, he still couldn't stop James.

James approached the edge of the restricted area step by step and entered his layup range.

At this critical moment, Porzingis stepped forward in time to double-team James, trying to block his layup route.

However, James had already noticed Porzingis' intentions.

In the moment before the double-team was formed, he used a clever no-look pass to pass the ball to Kuzma who was completely left open.

Kuzma got a great chance to shoot near the baseline.

This is his best offensive style, catching the ball and shooting.

He jumped up without hesitation, flicked his wrist, and the basketball drew a beautiful arc, and with a swish, it fell steadily into the basket.

This goal not only helped the Lakers continue to narrow the score, but also made the Lakers fans at the scene excited.

Looking back, the Nets began to organize their offense.

Brunson decided to step up on his own.

Durant left the game due to injury, and he had to take on more offensive responsibilities.

Facing Wall's defense, Brunson did not choose to force a single play, but instead used the cover of Cousins ​​and Porzingis to cleverly get rid of the close defense.

Just as Brunson was about to take a three-pointer, the referee's whistle suddenly sounded.

The Nets were called for an offensive foul.

The whistle was like a bolt from the blue, leaving all the Nets players on the field stunned.

They quickly looked back to see who was called for a foul.

Especially Cousins, he was so nervous that sweat broke out on his forehead. He and Brunson each had 4 fouls. If this foul was called on them again, the Nets would only become more passive.

Fortunately, the referee called a foul on Porzingis this time, saying that Porzingis set a moving screen.

However, such a call aroused dissatisfaction among the Nets fans at the scene.

They all stood up, waved their cheering sticks, and loudly denounced the referee's unfair whistle.

"Referee, are you blind? There was clearly no foul on this ball!"

"Black whistle! Black whistle! Did the Lakers win the game thanks to the referee?"

"Porzingis didn't move at all, you are deliberately favoring the Lakers!"

"Shameless referee, you ruined the game!"

"Come on Nets! Don't let the referee's bad whistle affect us!"

"Referee, if you whistle like this again, we will refund your tickets!"

The angry curses of the Nets fans echoed throughout the Staples Center.

Their emotions were like ignited flames, burning fiercely and unable to be calmed down.

The referee's whistle was like an uninvited guest, interrupting the rhythm of the game and causing controversy time and time again.

When the referee once again called a moving screen on the Nets at a critical moment, commentators Yang Yi and Wang Meng expressed their dissatisfaction in the studio far away on the other side of the ocean.

Their voices travel through the airwaves, across thousands of mountains and rivers, and reach the ears of everyone who loves basketball.

"Oh, this referee is really something. He shouldn't have stepped out to steal the show at this time!" Yang Yi shook his head and said helplessly, "Although Porzingis's feet were not completely stable in this round, the range of his movement was really within the acceptable range. It is really incomprehensible for the referee to whistle at this time."

"That's right, Yang Yi is right." Wang Meng also agreed, "If Porzingis's ball was a moving screen, then Davis's movements in the previous rounds were bigger than Porzingis's, so he could also be called a moving screen. But the fact is that the referee turned a blind eye to Davis and showed no mercy to Porzingis. Isn't this too obvious favoritism?"

The two of them expressed their strong dissatisfaction with the referee's whistle.

They know that Durant had just left the game due to injury not long ago, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to the Nets.

And now, the referee's favoritism has made the Nets' situation even worse.

"Hey, do you think this referee has a grudge against the Nets?" Yang Yi said jokingly, "Why does he always target them at critical moments?"

"Haha, maybe that's true." Wang Meng also laughed, "But then again, the Nets can't do anything rash now. Durant is already injured. If Porzingis loses his composure because of the referee's whistle and is ejected, then the Nets will really be finished."

Just as the two were discussing, the situation on the field changed.

Kuzma walked up to Porzingis with a provocative look on his face.

"Hey, isn't this Porzingis?" Kuzma said in surprise, "Do you Nets like to set moving screens so much? Do you think you can win the game this way?"

These words were obviously provocative, and Porzingis was already feeling aggrieved because he was called for a moving screen.

After hearing what Kuzma said, he suddenly became furious and walked up to Kuzma and started talking trash to him head-on.

"What are you talking about?" Porzingis said with his eyes wide open. "Why did I move the screen? Is there something wrong with your eyes?"

"Of course there's nothing wrong with my eyes," Kuzma said without giving in. "It's you Nets who have the problem, right? You're always thinking about moving screens every time you attack. It's really despicable."

"You look down on the Nets?" Porzingis said angrily, "Then why don't you try and see if you can defend our offense!"

The two of them quarreled more and more fiercely, with their faces close together, as if they would fight at any time.

Their trash talk became more and more nasty, even involving personal attacks.

The atmosphere on the field suddenly became tense, as if a big war was about to break out.

Yang Yi and Wang Meng, who saw this scene, quickly said again: "The Nets must stay calm now! Porzingis must not lose his mind because of the referee's whistle. Durant's injury has already dealt a big blow to the Nets. If they lose another main player due to the conflict now, then the Nets will really be finished."

"Yes, yes," Wang Meng also echoed, "Kuzma's provocation just now was really inappropriate. They already took advantage of the whistle, and now they are using these off-court tricks. This is not only disrespectful to the Nets, but also disrespectful to the game of basketball!"

The two people's voices were transmitted to the ears of every audience member through the airwaves.

They know the importance of this game and that every player is under tremendous pressure.

But in any case, they don't want to see the game get out of control because of conflict.

However, the situation on the court did not change because of their appeal. The war of words between Porzingis and Kuzma continued. Their voices became louder and their emotions became more and more excited.

It seemed as if a violent conflict would break out at any moment.

"Don't think I dare not touch you!" Porzingis roared, "If you dare to provoke me again, I'll let you do it!"

"What's wrong with me provoking you?" Kuzma fired back without showing any weakness, "Who do you think you are? Aren't you just a mobile screen player?"

The two's voices echoed in the stadium.

The atmosphere on the field became increasingly tense, as if a major battle was about to break out.

At the same time, Chinese fans who were watching the game through the live broadcast room on the other side of the ocean were also deeply attracted by this incident. They formed their own camps and started a heated debate.

When the referee blew the whistle for the Nets' moving screen again, the Nets fans in the live broadcast room instantly became excited.

They expressed their dissatisfaction and anger in the barrage, as if they wanted to poke a hole in the screen.

"Is this referee blind? Porzingis's move was clearly a normal screen, so why was it called off?" a Nets fan said angrily.

"That's right, the Lakers players and the referee really had no shame in this game. The referee targeted us Nets from the beginning and clearly favored the Lakers with the whistle." Another fan echoed.

"Lakers fans are so shameless that they want to use such a small trick as actively angering Porzingis to achieve the goal of winning. It's really disgusting!" a Nets fan cursed angrily.

As the anger of Nets fans continued to escalate, Lakers fans naturally did not want to be outdone.

They all stood up to defend their team and the referees and engaged in a heated debate with the Nets fans.

"There was nothing wrong with the referee's call. Porzingis's move was just a moving screen. What are you Nets fans so anxious about?" a Lakers fan said calmly.

"That's right. If the whistle doesn't favor you, won't you feel unbalanced? Lakers fans are not as petty as you." Another Lakers fan echoed.

However, the Lakers fans' defense did not quell the anger of the Nets fans.

On the contrary, their argument intensified.

"If Porzingis was moving to set the screen for that ball just now, then Davis's footwork was bigger than Porzingis's when he was setting the screen before. Why didn't the referee blow the whistle?" asked a Nets fan.

"Even a blind person can see that the referee favors the Lakers today. And you Lakers fans are acting crazy and stupid here, it's disgusting!" Another Nets fan also cursed angrily.

As the debate between the two teams' fans escalated, the atmosphere in the live broadcast room became increasingly tense.

The barrage of comments came like a tide, as if to flood the entire screen.

"Lakers fans are so disgusting! They will do anything to win and don't even care about their dignity!" a Nets fan cursed angrily.

"That's right, teams and referees like the Lakers shouldn't be in the NBA! They made the viewing experience of this finals plummet!" another Nets fan echoed.

However, Lakers fans are not buying it.

They all expressed the innocence of their team and the referee, and accused the Nets fans of making unreasonable trouble.

"You Nets fans are really sick, are you? If there's a problem with the referee's call, just go and complain to the league instead of making a fuss here!" said a Lakers fan dissatisfiedly.

"That's right, Kuzma just told the truth, but Porzingis got angry. What? Can't people tell the truth?" another Lakers fan echoed.

As the debate between the two teams' fans escalated, the atmosphere in the live broadcast room became increasingly chaotic.

The barrage of comments streaked across the screen like a meteor, as if to set the entire live broadcast room on fire.

During this heated debate, some fans even started attacking and swearing at each other.

They seemed to have forgotten the original intention and fun of the game, leaving only endless anger and hostility.

However, behind this storm, there are some rational and calm voices.

They tried to quell the controversy and get fans back to focusing on the game itself.

"Everyone stop arguing. The referee's call was indeed problematic, but we can't deny the entire game because of it," said a rational fan.

"That's right, the game is still going on, we should enjoy this basketball feast instead of arguing endlessly here," another fan echoed.

However, these rational voices were quickly drowned out by endless arguments and insults.

The atmosphere in the live broadcast room was still tense and chaotic, as if a war without the smoke of gunpowder was quietly unfolding.

In this turmoil, the fans' emotions seemed to be ignited and their blood was boiling.

They fought for the innocence of their team and the referee, and even engaged in heated arguments and attacks with the opposing fans.

Inside the court, when the referee came out and finally separated Porzingis and Kuzma, the atmosphere on the court instantly dropped to freezing point.

The referee sternly warned the two not to mess around, and if they did it again, they would be expelled from the game.

Kuzma had a sneer on his face, and didn't seem to care about the referee's warning. Although Porzingis felt aggrieved, he could only force himself to calm down at this time.

He knew that the team leader Durant had already left the game due to injury. If he lost his mind because of Kuzma's provocation and was ejected, the Nets would be completely finished.

Thinking of this, Porzingis took a deep breath and tried to calm himself.

At this moment, Cousins ​​came over. He put his arm around Porzingis' shoulders and comforted him like an older brother: "Hey, brother, don't fight with this kind of person. He is obviously deliberately provoking you and wants you to fight. Don't fall for his trick."

Porzingis looked up at Cousins ​​and felt a warm feeling in his heart.

He knows that Cousins ​​has always taken good care of him and given him a lot of help and support both on and off the court.

"Well, I know you're right, but I just can't swallow this." Porzingis said angrily.

"Hey, brother, don't get excited. Fighting with this kind of person will only put you in trouble." Cousins ​​patted Porzingis on the back and continued, "Facing this kind of person, you don't even need to talk nonsense with him, you just need to beat him up on the court, and he will be embarrassed and ashamed."

After hearing what Cousins ​​said, Porzingis gradually calmed down.

He nodded, thinking that what Cousins ​​said made sense.

It's really cheap to argue with a disgusting player like Kuzma.

Only by beating him up can people feel good.

"Thank you, brother, I know what to do." Porzingis said to Cousins ​​with gratitude.

"You're welcome, brother. We are a team. We must face difficulties together and win together." Cousins ​​smiled and continued, "Tonight, even if we risk our lives, we must help the team win. Do you believe me?"

"I believe in you, man, let's go together!" Porzingis said firmly.

The two smiled at each other and walked towards the court together.

Their figures, illuminated by the lights, appear particularly resolute and brave. (End of this chapter)
