The atmosphere in the locker room was heavy and tense.
Coach Mike Malone was focused, the sound of his tactical board tapping was particularly clear in the quiet space.
He looked intently at Zeng Xingyang and said seriously, "Zeng, in the second half you must continue to strengthen the offense, your firepower is the key to us winning. Before the opponent double-teams you, you must decisively break through, forcing their defense to change and creating opportunities for our outside shooters."
Then, he shifted his tone to emphasize defense: "On the defensive end, make sure to switch properly, never let them get open. Focus on guarding Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, their three-pointers can change the game at any moment."
He glanced at each player and continued, "We are leading by 10 points now, they are the ones who should be anxious, keep your mindset steady and play according to the strategy!"
