Liu Han's stunner allowed the Lakers to drag the Western Conference Finals into a tiebreaker, and the Jazz lost their last home-court advantage, and on the 26th, the two teams will hold Game 7 in Los Angeles to decide who will advance to the Finals.

The Lakers' defeat of the Jazz also made all Los Angeles fans ecstatic, seeing that the team was about to be eliminated, but in the final moment, it was this amazing young man from the East who helped the Lakers come back from the edge of the cliff.

At the same time, the game, which was broadcast live across the United States, was thrilling for all the people in front of the television, and nothing could be more exciting than a last-minute kill. Americans advocate individual heroism, now Liu Han is a living hero, just returned from surgery to the game less than 24 hours, he once again staged a legendary performance, for a while, Liu Han's fans in the United States began to soar, his No. 24 jersey sales also soared, various well-known brands are also trying to contact Liu Han through various ways, now if you take the opportunity to win Liu Han's advertising contract is the most appropriate, if you really let Liu Han win the championship, then the value will be different, But Mr. Liu's Jewish agent, Mr. Helga, has now rejected all endorsement contracts for brands, and the Jew's mature economic acumen has let Mr. Helga know when it is time for Mr. Liu to reap the most benefits.

Some domestic media also began to call on the national team to recruit Liu Han into the team as soon as possible, although Liu Han is not a player trained in the system, but his strength has been proven, with such an excellent young player, the national team will not lack outside firepower in the next ten years.

Safina, who was still worried about Liu Han's body, was completely relieved now, and now it seems that her lover's body is directly proportional to his performance in bed.

Zhao Xueli actually wanted to watch Liu Han's game on the spot, she was now full of guilt for Liu Han and worry about Shipson, Shipson must stay in the sterile ward for a while, Zhao Xueli was very embarrassed for a while.

The owner of the Lakers, Jerichbus, now admires Liu Han very much, this young man who originally mentioned it casually brought him too many surprises, Jerichs is a very fond of basketball, and now the team has the opportunity to reach the finals again, Jerichbus is very happy.

On the 25th, the third game of the Eastern Conference Finals was held, the Bulls challenged the Heat away, and the Heat who returned to their home court played an amazing defensive intensity, and under the tutelage of head coach Pat Riley, the Heat showed their strength, and they defeated the Bulls 83-76 to tie the total score at 2-1. Jordan didn't have a good hand in this game, shooting just 10 of 27 from the field and just one of 5 from three-point range.

On the 26th, the final showdown between the Lakers and the Jazz is about to start, the tenacious Lakers are looking forward to defeating the Jazz in this game, and the front row of the Great Western Forum Arena is filled with celebrities from all walks of life in Los Angeles.

The Lakers are still their usual starting lineup today, and the return of Liu Han has made Coach Harris no longer worry about his team's outside firepower, and one Liu Han is as powerful as three pitchers from other teams.

On the Jazz side, Coach Jerry Sloan has a lot of headaches for Liu Han, and now in the Jazz lineup, no matter who defends Liu Han, there is no way to limit the opponent's play, and if you choose to wrap up, the other players of the Lakers will get another opportunity, and with O'Neal in the inside, the Jazz team does not dare to relax the defense of the league's most potential interior players.

After careful consideration, Coach Jerry Sloan still decided to let Hornacek continue to defend Liu Han alone, Shanton Anderson is just a pure defensive player, and he may not be able to defend Liu Han, rather than this, it is better to let Hornacek, who is more accurate in three points, play.

At the beginning of the game, it was still O'Neal who won the jump ball, Eddie Jones grabbed the ball, the Lakers did not play fast at the beginning, but steadily advanced to the frontcourt, Van Exel knew today that the protagonist was not himself, and now he has given up his preconceptions about Liu Han.

O'Neal was in a position on the inside, Liu Han quickly ran to the weak side to open up the position for O'Neal, Van Exel hung to O'Neal, and Ostertag worked hard to resist O'Neal.

After receiving the ball, the big shark shook his right shoulder, and then his body squeezed away Ostertag, whose center of gravity had begun to shift to the right, from the left side, and took a step with his right foot and flew directly to dunk. O'Neal, who has been playing in the league for almost five years, is now not just the stunned boy who only played on his body back then, his interior footsteps are more solid and fast than the average center.

The Jazz are not surprised that the Lakers are playing inside from the start, and if they also have a deterrent center like O'Neal on their team, they will also play inside from the start.

Stockton still dribbled steadily to the frontcourt, Malone mentioned the upper line cover, and Oster Tagra went to the weak side to lure O'Neal away.

Stockton relied on defense to shake off Van Exeel, and Robert Horry made up for Stockton. Horry, who played well in the last game, has replaced Elden Campbell as the Lakers' starting power forward, and Horry, who is not afraid of confrontation and has a good three-point hand, has a greater role than Campbell, who is a little skinny.

Although Horry's defense was well defined, the experienced Stockton found his way to the ball and he struck the ball through to Malone from the middle of Horry and Van Exel. However, Liu Han, who defended Hornacek on the baseline, had noticed the misalignment of Malone and Van Exel, so he gave up his defense against Hornacek and chose to pinch Ma Long. But Malone noticed Liu Han's movements before receiving the ball, and in the last game, it was his own carelessness that allowed Liu Han to break the ball successfully and kill his own team, so now Malone is very alert, and after receiving the ball, he directly passed the ball to Hornacek, who had an empty bottom line, and the latter did not disappoint Malone and scored a three-point shot.

At this time of the game, in fact, in terms of experience, the Jazz are a little ahead of the Lakers, and now the Lakers only have experience in the finals O'Neal and Byron Scott, but the Lakers are now very strong, and after they beat the opponent in the last game, every player will have the courage to rush to the finals.

The Lakers continued to attack, Liu Han took the initiative to run to Van Exel to receive the ball, O'Neal saw Liu Han receive the ball and immediately ran to the outside line to cover Liu Han, Liu Han took the ball into the Jazz inside, in the face of Ma Long's supplementary defense Liu Han chose to be strong, before the game, Coach Harris instructed Liu Han to let him impact the inside line more, kill the Jazz's inside line, and strive to knock out the opponent's inside line.

Malone raised his arm high to try to stop Liu Han's layup, but he obviously underestimated Liu Han's strength, and now Liu Han's physical fitness has changed dramatically from when he first entered the NBA, Liu Han snuggled on Malone with his left hand, threw the board into the frame with his right hand, and the referee's whistle sounded at the same time, Malone looked very angry, he felt that his action was not a foul, but today is the home court of the Lakers, and the referee still insisted on his decision.

The next game did not have too many twists and turns, and the Lakers were slightly better than the Jazz in terms of strength after having Liu Han and O'Neal.

Liu Han played the whole quarter in the first quarter, scoring 12 points, 3 assists and 2 rebounds, and the Lakers also led the Jazz by five points at 29-24, but the Jazz center Ostertag went off early because of two fouls on Liu Han.
