The Mavericks' coaching staff had a heated discussion from the moment they entered the locker room, and the focus of the discussion turned out to be...... Whether this game is to lock up the little tiger or trap Kobe Bryant. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"The player who controls the Lakers' rhythm right now is the little tiger, not the black mamba, the black mamba is just an offensive weapon, understand?" the defensive coach clapped his palms in an attempt to remind all his colleagues.

"So, are we going to let go of the shackles of players who score 81 points in a single game?" the first assistant coach argued with him: "Don't be intimidated by the little tiger, his small hook shooting percentage is not as high as expected." ”

"I'm not talking about the little hook! I'm talking about the rhythm, you know? The little tiger is the transmission of the Lakers, you know?"

"Kobe Bryant is the most powerful engine. ”

There was a-for-tat battle in the Mavericks' locker room, and they simply couldn't reach a consensus anytime soon.

Meanwhile, there was silence in the Lakers' locker room.

Only the videographer was there to replay the first half of the game for the players, and Coach Winter occasionally pointed out what was not done well, and which runs were not positive... Something like that.

Phil Jackson sat in the corner and didn't seem to be much different from the regular season.

Before the start of the second half, Mavericks head coach Johnson finally made his choice, and he decided to focus on the Black Mamba defensively. It was Jason Tree and Devin Harris who drove him to make this decision, and the two swore that they would not let Tiger Cub do whatever he wanted.

Johnson chose to listen to them.

At the beginning of the second half, the little tiger sat on the bench.

Phil Jackson didn't have the slightest intention of winning the game in one go, and he strictly followed the reports made by the medical team and the training team. This made the Black Mamba quite dissatisfied, and he thought that the Zen master was out of place.

The Zen master listened to his complaint and simply pressed him to the bench.

"You can't play the whole game. ”

Phil Jackson's employment is unpredictable.

The Mavericks were very unaccustomed to facing the Lakers without the Black Mamba and the Little Tigers, and both teams did not score in the opening minute and a half.

Johnson was so unhappy with this that he yelled on the sidelines and demanded that the team clean up the shrimp soldiers and crabs on the court as soon as possible.

Under his scolding, the Mavericks' offensive power began to become orderly.

After four rounds, the score was overtaken.

The Mavericks are gaining momentum.

Drip!

Phil Jackson called a timeout and then sent the Little Tiger onto the court. The Black Mamba remained on the bench.

The player who played at the same time as Little Tiger was... Ratliffe, Darius Myers, Radmanovich, Morris Evans.

Four forwards plus a point guard.

Phil Jackson still didn't set up specific tactics, he was like a stream-of-consciousness director, just said to the little tiger: bite the score.

Then he let go and became the shopkeeper.

"I'm exercising him. Phil Jackson said to the disgruntled Winter. Winter thought Phil Jackson was too reckless.

Meanwhile, the five players in Dallas are...... Dampier, Clohill, Josh Howard, Jason Terry, Devin Harris.

The Mavericks also used a rotational lineup, with Nowitzki returning to the bench for a break.

When the little tiger came to the front court with the ball, Devin Harris, who is known for his speed, followed him closely.

The little tiger turned his back directly and began to squeeze in from outside the three-point line... I don't pity the fragrance at all.

Devin Harris is emaciated and is significantly inferior to Tiger Cub.

"Little Tiger actually has a time when he bullies his opponent with his ass!"

Reggie Miller joked humorously from the commentary desk.

As soon as his words fell...... Swish!

After the little tiger squeezed to the free throw line, he directly hooked the ball and pierced the net accurately.

Bang!

In the rematch, Josh Howard shot the basket under the kraft candy defense of Darius Myers, and the old block king Ratliff protected the rebound and made a long pass to the Little Tiger.

The little tiger received the ball and rushed to the front court, although Devin Harris did not fall behind in speed, but he could not prevent the little tiger's elusive pass, the basketball hit the ground from Devin Harris's crotch in the fast movement to the bottom corner of the three-point line at an unbelievable angle, and Radmanovic received the basketball and hit a three-point shot!

ESPN's footage was replayed repeatedly, and McBrin kept shouting, "How did he do it?"

"How could he make such an accurate judgment? Speed, angle, and strength are all indispensable, and this is simply a competition topic in advanced mathematics. ”

Johnson quickly adjusted his defense, and he asked his players to wrap up the tiger on the defensive end.

When the tough bag clamp and the treatment of the joint defense were improved, the edge of the little tiger was really covered a lot. But with the cover and pick-and-roll of four tall teammates, the Lakers are still on the right path and are slowly building up a lead

At the fifth minute of the third quarter.

The Lakers finally took a six-point lead with a blunt knife cut.

Drip!

The Mavericks are replaced by Nowitzki.

The Lakers also took advantage of the situation to bring in Kobe Bryant.

The two ace scorers did not cause a drastic change on the court, and the two sides were still engaged in a fierce and anxious tug-of-war.

Both sides are in a mood of 'wanting to kill their opponents but having no choice but no choice'.

This was something the Mavericks didn't expect, and their pre-game prediction was to knock the Los Angeles people apart in three quarters.

But the sudden rise of Little Tiger caught them off guard.

The third quarter ended quickly.

72：69。

The Lakers led by three points heading into the fourth quarter.

At the start of the fourth quarter, Phil Jackson put the panting tiger cub on the bench...... He played almost the entire third quarter and was caught up in a playoff-caliber game that was a defensive intensity never seen before, so the drop in fitness was very noticeable.

"When will it be stronger?"

Zhou Zheng touched his chest, there was a bit of a blockage here, and a lot of power was waiting to break out of the shell.

With the first game of the playoffs still to come, he desperately wants to get stronger as soon as possible, and he's tired of sitting on the bench and watching the scales of the game tilt in his opponent's favor and he can't do anything about it.

The Dallas man battled to regain lost ground at the start of the fourth quarter, with Nowitzki's strong resurgence at the free-throw line fueling the team's offensive firepower.

Soon, they used an 11-4 wave to prove that the regular season championship was not for nothing.

For the first time, Phil Jackson's face showed anxious emotions, he stood up and took the initiative to call a timeout, picked up the tactical board and called Kobe Bryant and others over, and sketched out a clear tactical run one by one, in great detail, and everyone was properly arranged by him.

At this time, he didn't dare to hold it up anymore.

The entire Lakers were up and down, and no one wanted to lose this game.

When the game resumed, the Lakers played more aggressively defensively and played more purposeful tactical play.

Kobe Bryant did his best to keep sprinting into the box, but... The Mavericks have taken off, and their jump shot team is bursting with hands.

Although the rhythm was tightly dragged and the game was not carried away by a wave. But the spread is still slowly rising.

The Lakers have reached a point of survival.

Although as eighth in the West, there is no shame in losing to the regular season champions, let alone the home of the Mavericks.

Maybe you can get an evaluation like 'glory despite defeat'.

But... The eyes of the little tiger and the black mamba are both black and white, losing is losing, and winning is winning.

"Let me play. ”

The little tiger stood up.

He just told Phil Jackson about it.

He didn't wait for Jackson's reply, he went straight to the technical desk.

Kobe Bryant saw the little tiger walking towards the technical table, and he quickly slapped Stark House.

Drip!

The referee blew the whistle and Kobe Bryant fouled without the ball.

At this point, with 6 minutes and 29 seconds left before the end of the game, the visitors were nine points behind.

The Angelenos have reached their most dangerous moment.
