On January 18th, Beijing time, the Lakers defeated the Nets 102-101 to secure their second consecutive victory. In a game without Davis, the Lakers' interior was riddled with weaknesses, making it difficult even against an Eastern Conference weak team like the Nets. They only led by 6 points at halftime, and by the end of the third quarter, the lead had been reduced to 4 points. However, in the final quarter, Reeves entered a state of Zone, scoring 15 points and providing 2 assists to help the Lakers secure the win. Russell's buzzer-beater attempt missed, and James protected the rebound to lock in the victory. In a game where Davis was rested, the Lakers' interior became even weaker, with Hayes, Koloko, and Jamison (one on minimum wage, two on two-way contracts) starting. The Nets immediately capitalized on this, grabbing multiple offensive rebounds. The aging LeBron was truly unable to hold his ground. Christie hit two three-pointers, and after James left the court, both teams went through five scoreless rounds before Jamison entered the game. When James returned, he hit two three-pointers, relying on the 40-year-old veteran to take the lead by one point. In the first quarter, James shot 4-for-3, scoring 9 points, the only player with a shooting percentage above 50%. In the second quarter, Reeves also hit a three-pointer, followed by Hayes' two-handed dunk. Reeves drove to the basket again, extending the lead to 6 points and forcing the Nets to call a timeout. Reeves was fouled on an outside three-point attempt and made all three free throws.…

Two minutes later, McAlistair headed the ball in the penalty area, but it was too straight and was caught by the goalkeeper.

In the Guangdong home court, amidst a chorus of boos and shouts of "black whistle," the referees inexplicably awarded Beikong four free throws in the final moments of the game, nearly helping their opponents defeat Guangdong. The most detestable incident occurred when Xu Xin made a shot, and Beikong men's basketball committed a foul. If the referees had made a fair call, the game should have ended much earlier. For three consecutive games, Guangdong men's basketball team has faced controversial refereeing decisions, feeling no sense of fairness in their home court. Even Chen Haitao, the owner of Guangdong, personally intervened during the intense match against Qingdao. However, this had no effect. The referees continued to act as they pleased, with Guangdong being clearly targeted. During the intense battle against Beikong, with only 10.2 seconds remaining, the referees made three consecutive incorrect calls that almost affected the outcome of the game. Xu Jie, with both teams tied at 97, took control of the ball and was pressing time to secure Guangdong's position with a three-pointer. Facing Chen Guohao's defense, Xu Jie missed the shot completely. Under the basket, Xu Xin and Shen Zijie were entangled, with Shen Zijie grabbing Xu Xin's arm. Then Shen Zijie fell, and Guangdong was called for a foul. This free throw was quite fatal; if Shen Zijie had made both shots, Guangdong's mentality would have been completely different. After Shen Zijie missed both free throws, Zhang Fan entered the line early to grab the rebound, which was a clear violation. The referees probably thought two free…
