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

Lakers head coach Vogel frowned and scanned the court with sharp eyes, as if he could see through everything.

Suddenly, he waved his hand and shouted, "Pause!"

This shout was like dropping a huge rock into a calm lake, instantly breaking the rhythm on the field.

With 27 seconds left, the Nets led by 5 points, a difference that almost became an insurmountable gap in such a short time.

Brunson waved his fist excitedly, as if he had already celebrated his victory in advance.

Teammates rushed forward and celebrated wildly for the crucial three-pointer that could have killed the game.

Amid the cheers of the Nets fans, Brunson and his teammates walked back to the bench with the joy of victory on their faces.

However, amidst this celebratory atmosphere, the disappointment and frustration of Lakers fans were evident.

Some impatient fans have already started to stand up and prepare to leave early.

They knew that it would be almost impossible for the Lakers to make a comeback in the remaining time.

The staff also received instructions and began preparing ribbons and tools to celebrate the Nets' championship.

The entire stadium seemed to have entered the Nets championship celebration in advance.

But at this moment, Nets head coach Lu Yong remained rare calm.

He looked at the excited faces of the players, but felt uneasy in his heart.

He knew that the game was not over yet and any second of slackness could cause victory to slip away.

"Calm down, guys!" Lu Yong's voice was steady and powerful, instantly penetrating the noise of the players. "The game is not over yet, we must hold on to this last moment. Only in this way can we truly hold the championship trophy."

The players fell silent and looked at Lu Yong, waiting for his further instructions.

Lu Yong looked around and continued, "Remember, time is our biggest enemy, but also our friend. We must use these last 27 seconds to make the Lakers feel desperate."

He paused, then laid out the tactics in more detail: "Next, we have to defend along the three-point line and avoid fouls. If they want two points, we'll give them that, but we must not give them three-pointers. We have to let the Lakers know that every point is hard-earned."

Lu Yong's words calmed the players down quickly. They nodded one after another, indicating that they understood the coach's intention.

Lu Yong looked at the players and felt a surge of confidence in his heart.

He knew that as long as the players could execute according to his arrangements, victory would definitely belong to them.

"Remember, we only have 20 seconds left to lift the championship trophy." Lu Yong's voice sounded again, with an unquestionable firmness, "Everyone must work harder when you go back, defend with all your strength, and don't foul. We want to let the Lakers know that we, the Nets, will never give up easily!"

There was a determination gleam in the players' eyes, they knew that these final 27 seconds would determine their fate.

Lu Yong looked at the players and a feeling of pride welled up in his heart.

He knew that at this moment, the hearts of all the Nets players were closely connected, working together for a common goal.

"Okay, guys, let's go back!" Lu Yong waved his hand, signaling the players to return to the court, "Remember, we must make these last 27 seconds the Lakers' eternal nightmare!"

The players stood up one after another, ready to return to the court with Lu Yong's instructions and expectations.

They knew that these final 27 seconds would be the greatest test of their will and perseverance.

However, they also know that as long as they unite as one, nothing is impossible.

As the Nets players got up from the bench, the atmosphere on the court became tense again.

The cheers of Lakers fans have weakened a lot, they know that these final 27 seconds will determine whether their team can create a miracle.

Nets fans are even more excited and expectant, because they know that their team is only one step away from the championship.

The cheers from the Nets bench came like a tide, forming a sharp contrast with the silence from the Lakers bench.

At this decisive moment, the Nets players' excitement was built on the Lakers players' pain.

On the other side of the court, the atmosphere on the Lakers bench was so depressing as if shrouded by a dark cloud. Everyone sat on the bench, heads down, and said nothing.

James sat in a corner of the bench, his eyes had lost their former luster, as if he was crushed by the cruel reality of the game.

He wasn't really listening to Vogel, instead he was lost in his own thoughts.

Vogel saw it but did not say anything to remind him.

He could understand James' mood at the moment. James played very well in this game. He almost single-handedly led the Lakers to successfully fight the Nets until the last moment.

However, even so, the Lakers were eventually forced into a desperate situation by the Nets and faced the embarrassment of being swept out of the finals 0:4.

Vogel looked at the players in front of him, their faces full of frustration and despair.

He knew what this game meant to them, and he also knew how heavy their hearts were at the moment.

However, as the head coach of this team, he can't just give up.

The game wasn't over yet, and although the Lakers only had a theoretical chance of making a comeback, Vogel still felt he should stand up and say something.

He first clapped his hands vigorously, trying to attract the players' attention.

The players' eyes gradually focused on him, but their eyes were still full of confusion and despair.

Vogel took a deep breath and began to encourage them: "Guys, I know you are in a bad mood now, but the game is not over yet! We still have a chance, as long as we don't give up, there is hope!"

His words were full of determination and strength, trying to ignite the fighting spirit in the players' hearts.

However, the Lakers players still kept their heads down, looking listless.

Vogel was not discouraged. He continued, "Listen to me, guys! We are going to shoot a three-pointer next. If we can make it, we will have a chance to narrow the gap. Remember, the game is played, not thought out. As long as we still have a breath, we must fight to the end!"

Vogel's words were full of passion and determination, and he tried to infect the players with his emotions.

However, the Lakers players still found it difficult to shake off their frustration.

They knew that this game was too difficult for them and they had almost exhausted all their strength and fighting spirit.

Vogel looked at the players' reactions and felt secretly anxious.

If the players can't cheer up, there will really be no hope for this game.

He clapped his hands again and raised his voice: "Guys, I know you are frustrated now, but you can't just give up! You are Lakers players, you are the strong ones in the league! You can't be defeated like this!"

There was a hint of anger and dissatisfaction in his words, trying to inspire the players' fighting spirit and self-esteem.

However, the Lakers players still found it difficult to shake off their depressed mood.

They know that Vogel is right, they are Lakers players, and they can't just give up.

However, they also knew that this game was too difficult for them and they could hardly see any hope. At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out: "Coach, let me try!"

This voice broke the silence on the Lakers bench and everyone looked up.

Veteran Dudley stood up.

As a hard-working veteran, Dudley has always been appreciated by Vogel.

Vogel looked at Dudley and felt a warm feeling in his heart.

He nodded and signaled Dudley to come on the court.

Although it was useless, the Lakers must try to shoot three-pointers in the end and replace all players who cannot shoot three-pointers. So at this time Vogel also decided to send out a five-out lineup, and Dudley was just right to play.

Vogel stared at the court, thinking about the final tactics in his mind.

He knew that the decision at this moment would determine the fate of the team.

Davis, the Lakers' inside giant, can also shoot three-pointers, but his shooting percentage is not stable.

After weighing the pros and cons, Coach Vogel decided to replace him.

This decision is undoubtedly a bold attempt, but it also reveals Coach Vogel's desire for victory and his trust in the players.

As Davis left the court, Dudley came on.

This season, his three-point shooting percentage is close to 40%, making him an important firepower point for the Lakers' outside line.

Dudley's appearance means that the Lakers will go all out to get three-pointer opportunities.

When the players of both teams returned to the court, the atmosphere reached its climax.

The Nets fans cheered for the team with their voices, shouting "Come on" at a deafening sound.

The Lakers fans stood up and watched the game attentively, not daring to say a word, as if they were afraid to disturb the team's rhythm.

Amid the roar, Wall served the ball from the sideline.

He held the basketball tightly with a determined look in his eyes.

After a series of runs and passes, James successfully caught the ball at a 45-degree angle on the left.

At this moment, he became the focus of everyone's attention.

The Nets chose a single defense tactic, letting Durant defend James one-on-one.

Durant, the league's top scorer, and James will undoubtedly face off against each other in a tit-for-tat contest.

The other Nets players also stayed close to their own players, resolutely refusing to double-team or assist in defense, and not giving the Lakers shooters any chance to take open shots.

Facing Durant's defense, James seemed calm.

He only took one dribble and then pulled up for a three-point jump shot.

The movement was smooth and natural, as if it had been practiced countless times.

Durant jumped up with all his might and stretched out his long arms to interfere, but James' shot was too fast and he could only watch the basketball fly over his fingertips.

At this moment, everyone's eyes followed the basketball as it flew towards the basket.

Everyone knows that as long as this ball goes in, the game is not over.

However, once the ball is missed, the game is completely over.

The players on the Nets bench all stood up at this moment, watching James' shot nervously.

They were both excited and afraid. They were excited that the suspense of the game could continue, but they were afraid that James' goal would shatter their dream of victory.

The Lakers bench was extremely nervous.

Everyone stood up and prayed that James would make the shot.

Their eyes were full of anticipation and desire, as if their world would collapse if the ball didn't go in.

The goddess of luck seemed to have heard the cries of these people.

In the next second, the basketball drew a perfect arc and went into the net.

James made a three-point jump shot at such a critical moment!
This ball was like a bolt of lightning that cut through the sky, instantly igniting the enthusiasm of Lakers fans.

The audience seats, which were extremely noisy the moment before, suddenly became silent.

Everyone was shocked by this goal, as if time had stopped at this moment.

However, a second later, the Lakers fans stood up and shouted, and the enthusiastic cheers were deafening.

They waved flags and shouted James' name, as if they wanted to release all their passion and joy.

After this goal, the Lakers narrowed the score to just two points with 23 seconds left in the game.

At this moment, the Lakers seemed to see the dawn of victory.

They retained a glimmer of hope of winning and ignited the passion of the entire audience.

Coach Vogel waved his fist on the sidelines with a satisfied smile on his face.

This shot not only boosted the team's morale, but also broke the Nets' rhythm.

The Lakers still have a chance!

In a studio far away on the other side of the ocean, the lights were bright, and Yang Yi and Wang Meng were staring at the big screen in front of them.

When the two saw James stand up and use a miraculous three-pointer, he kept the Lakers' final hope of winning.

"Wow! James's shot was so crucial!" Yang Yi's voice instantly rose eight octaves. He seemed to be ignited by this sudden passion and jumped up from his seat. "At such a critical moment, he withstood the pressure and successfully hit the three-pointer! This is not just a goal, but also a huge boost to the morale of the entire Lakers team!"

Wang Meng couldn't help but echoed loudly, "That's right, that's right! James' touch tonight was really good, just like being kissed by the goddess of luck. At this moment, he once again stepped forward to help the Lakers retain the hope of winning. Although the balance of victory is still tilting towards the Nets, at this moment, the Lakers are at least no longer as desperate as before."

The two men's voices echoed in the studio, filled with admiration for James' goal.

They knew what this game meant to the Lakers and the importance of James' shot.

"Look, James shot this ball with such confidence and determination!" Yang Yi continued, "He is like a general on the battlefield, always standing up at the critical moment and leading the team to victory."

Wang Meng also nodded and added: "And did you notice? Before James shot the ball, he took a special look at the basket, as if he was declaring war on it. This kind of dominance and confidence really makes people have to admire. I believe that at this moment, James has adjusted his condition to the best."

Although both of them hope that the Nets will win, it is undeniable that James' shot was indeed strong and worthy of praise. (End of this chapter)
