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

After learning that the Nets defeated the Bucks by 29 points in the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals, the atmosphere in the Lakers conference room was extremely solemn. As the biggest favorite in the Western Conference this season, the Lakers have always been regarded as one of the favorites to win the championship, but the Nets' strong performance has taken a big hit to their confidence.

Head coach Vogel first broke the silence. He stood in front of the conference table, frowning: "Everyone, we all saw the Nets' performance yesterday. It was indeed a shocking victory. Lu's tactical arrangement and The execution ability of the players really put a lot of pressure on us.”

As soon as Vogel finished speaking, James's voice rang out in the conference room: "We can't underestimate this Nets team. Their offensive firepower is indeed strong and they cooperate well. We must re-examine our opponents and do our best." Very well prepared.”

Davis also nodded and added: "LeBron is right, we cannot be complacent because of previous results. The Nets are a very strong team, their players have outstanding individual abilities, and their teamwork is also good." Pretty good. We need to be more cautious about the game.”

Vogel sighed and continued: "I know Lu very well. His tactics are very flexible and changeable, and he can always produce unexpected tactical coordination. When I was coaching in the Eastern Conference, many teams were led by him. Damn it. I do have some psychological shadow about him.”

Hearing what the head coach said, the Lakers players all looked worried. They know that Vogel is an experienced coach and his concerns are definitely not groundless.

"Could it be that the most we can do this year is reach the finals?" one player couldn't help but ask.

"First of all, we need to strengthen our defensive training." Vogel replied. "The Nets' offense is very sharp. We must have stronger defensive capabilities to withstand their offensive. Secondly, we must also strengthen our offensive capabilities. We can’t let them easily defend our offense.”

James also added: "We also need to strengthen teamwork. Only with better teamwork can we have an advantage in the game. Moreover, we must also pay attention to adjusting our mentality and not lose confidence because of the strength of our opponents."

Davis nodded: "Yes, mentality is very important. We must believe in ourselves and our team. We also have strong strength. As long as we can perform to our own level, we are not afraid of any opponent."

"Okay, that's it for today's meeting," Vogel said. "Everyone should have a good rest after going back and adjust their condition. We must be in the best condition to face the next game and kill our Western Conference finals opponents first. Say it again!”

After practice, Budenholzer gathered the players together for a brief summary. He affirmed the performance and progress of the players in the extra training, while also pointing out the shortcomings and problems that still exist.

As the leader of the team, Antetokounmpo understands the responsibilities and responsibilities at this time. He led the players in offensive and defensive drills again and again, constantly emphasizing the importance of teamwork and tacit understanding.

In the arena, Budenholzer stood on the sidelines, directing the players to train with a serious expression. His eyes were burning, constantly scanning the players, observing their every movement and detail.

The loss in the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals was undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Bucks. The 29-point defeat allowed them to deeply experience the power of the Nets. But the Bucks were not discouraged. On the contrary, they chose to face it proactively and responded to this defeat with additional training.

Main players such as Antetokounmpo, Middleton and Lopez sweated profusely on the court. They kept running, jumping, and shooting, and every move was full of strength and determination. They are not willing to be easily defeated by the Nets, they want to use practical actions to prove their strength.

Middleton stood silently outside the three-point line, practicing shooting over and over again. He knows that as the team's outside core, his shooting percentage will directly affect the outcome of the game. Therefore, he must maintain the best condition and feel.

Middleton also added: "We must play every game as if it is the last game. We must try our best and leave no regrets."

At the same time, they have also strengthened their offensive and defensive training, improved their teamwork skills, and are just waiting for the day they meet the Nets in the finals!

Under Budenholzer's strict guidance, the Bucks players gradually regained the feel and rhythm of the game. Their cooperation is more tacit, their offense is smoother, and their defense is tighter.

Lopez constantly cooperates with teammates in pick-and-rolls in the paint. His height and wingspan advantages make him a great deterrent at the basket. He not only has to defend the basket, but also provides more help to the team on the offensive end.

Early the next morning, Bucks head coach Budenholzer summoned the entire team and started temporary training in the arena. He hopes that through this additional training, the players can regain their confidence and re-adjust their state for the next game.

"Speed ​​up the tempo! Pay attention to the speed and accuracy of the pass!" Budenholzer shouted, his voice echoing in the arena.

"We are a strong team and we have the ability to compete for the championship." Budenholzer's voice was full of motivation and encouragement. "Yesterday's game was just the beginning. We cannot deny ourselves just because of a loss. We have to learn from our failures and train and compete harder.”

Antetokounmpo stood up, looked at his teammates around him, and said affectionately: "Brothers, we are a family. We must unite and face the next game together. I believe that as long as we work together, there will be no What can stop us from moving forward?"

In the meeting room, the Lakers players expressed their agreement. They know that the Lakers have a high chance of winning the Western Conference finals, and their opponent in the finals is 80% likely to be the Nets. The next game will be more difficult, but they also believe that they have the ability to meet this challenge.

In the following time, the Lakers coaching staff carried out preparations in advance, conducted in-depth research and analysis on the Nets' tactical characteristics, and formulated corresponding response strategies.

The players nodded in agreement. They know that as a team aiming to win the championship, they must go through various difficulties and challenges. This additional training is a way for them to respond to the challenge.

In the following training, the Nets players worked harder. Not only do we pursue excellence in technology, but we also maintain optimism and confidence in mentality. Every shot, every pass, every run, they went all out and showed the style of a championship team.

At the same time, the Bucks continued their training in a tense and serious atmosphere. They knew that their performance in the first game of the Eastern Conference Finals was not ideal, so they worked harder to prepare for the next game, hoping to regain their form and compete with the Nets.

However, a difference in mentality has emerged between the two teams. The Nets prepare with a relaxed mentality, while the Bucks are under pressure. This difference may have an important impact in the next game.

After the training, Lu Yong called the players together and conducted a brief summary. He once again emphasized the importance of mentality and encouraged the players to continue to maintain this relaxed and happy state for the next game.

Not only that, the Nets players also showed a high level of teamwork spirit in training. They encourage and support each other, and everyone is willing to work hard for the team's victory. This team spirit is also one of the key factors that enable them to maximize their effectiveness in the game.

Compared with the Nets' relaxed preparations, the Bucks appear more rigorous and focused in training. He conducted an in-depth analysis and summary of the reasons for the defeat in the first game, and worked hard to adjust his status and tactics. However, it is this excessive tension and pressure that may cause them to lose their due flexibility and creativity in the game.
