At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Liu Han was replaced again for a break, and head coach Harris felt that it was okay to let Liu Han play in the last 6 minutes.

The Lakers relied on O'Neal's three backcourt rebounds in a row at the start of the fourth quarter to keep the score to the end, and the Jazz didn't play very well as role players today, with only Malone and Stockton remaining stable.

At five and a half minutes into the fourth quarter, the Lakers were still trailing by five points. Liu Han came on the court again at a critical moment, he replaced Eddie Jones, who was not performing well today, Kobe Bryant was pushed to the small forward position, and Liu Han still played point guard.

As soon as Liu Han came on the court, the Jazz team gave him a dismount, Ostertag and Malone gave Hornacek double cover, Liu Han failed to keep up with the opponent, Hornacek received the ball in the bottom corner and hit a three-pointer, and Malone hit Liu Han hard with his elbow in the cover.

Liu Han endured the pain and continued the game, he took the initiative to ask for the ball at 45 degrees on the left side of the Jazz, and Van Exel immediately passed to Liu Han.

Liu Han received the ball and leaned on Hornacek with his back, then turned around and stepped back to hit a three-point jumper before the opponent's bag player came over, and returned the opponent's ball.

Next, O'Neal struggled to block Malone's dunk, Liu Han fought back with all his strength regardless of his body, and Horry, who grabbed the rebound, passed into place, and Liu Han scored two more points for the Jazz team's interior dunk, and the gap in the score was narrowed to 3 points.

The Jazz called a timeout when the situation was not good, and Coach Jerry Sloan was unhappy with the performance of his players on the court at this point, and they did not play the Jazz's usual iron-clad defense.

In the next game, the Jazz moved more and more in defense, especially against Liu Han, every time Liu Han received the ball, he would not defend the opponent with all his might.

The Lakers did a good job defensively today, and in the face of this game that decided whether they could enter the tie-break, the Lakers players were very focused and serious.

As the game entered the final two minutes, the Lakers still trailed the Jazz by two points.

The Jazz attacked, Ostertag mentioned the outside line to cover Stockton, Malone slipped from the left baseline and hit the three-second zone, Stockton dribbled away from the defense and passed a high throw, Malone cooperated with tacit understanding to complete a wonderful empty catch, and the score gap was expanded to four points.

In this defense, Horry was teased by Marlon, and Malone shook off Horry with a simple counterrun.

Van Exel advanced to the frontcourt, Liu Han ran to the outside to receive the ball, O'Neal pulled to the outside to cover Liu Han, Liu Han took the ball into the three-point line, Malone made up for the defense in place to block Liu Han's continued breakthrough, Liu Han did not stick to the ball, but passed the ball to Horry, who was already vacant, and Horry received the ball and shot two points steadily, which was regarded as making up for the loss of position just now.

The gap was reduced to two points, and Coach Jerry Sloan shouted loudly from the sidelines to keep his players focused.

The Jazz continued to attack, and it was Malone again, who hit Horry on the inside, who had no choice but to foul, and Malone made two free throws.

It was still a way of turning around his waist three times and reading a high-scoring free throw, but Malone unfortunately missed a free throw. The margin was three points, and there was only one minute left in the game.

The Lakers attacked, Van Exel quickly came to the front court with the ball, Liu Han was in a 45-degree position on the right side, and Van Exel hung to Liu Han.

After Liu Han received the ball, he did not have any feints but turned directly in the direction where the ball came and threw a jump shot, although Hornacek had struggled to block, but Liu Han's backward amplitude was very large, the ball was still thrown into the basket, and Liu Han also fell to the ground because the amplitude of the backhand was too large.

The Jazz took the opportunity to launch a fast attack, but the Lakers returned to defense quickly, Liu Han quickly got up and ran back to his half after falling to the ground, and Stockton, who could not play a fast attack, could only stabilize the ball and try to reorganize the offense.

The Jazz played patiently this time, and it was Malone again, and at the end of the 24-second offensive time, Horry tried his best, his finger almost poked Malone in the eye, but he still couldn't prevent the opponent from scoring.

With 30 seconds left in the game, the Jazz still lead the Lakers by three points.

Coach Harris called out the team's last timeout, leaving the Lakers with little time, so they must quickly score two or three points in the next offense before the Lakers have a chance to continue playing.

Liu Han made free throws on the sideline, the other Lakers players lined up at the top of the arc, the whistle remembered, the Lakers players exploded instantly, Liu Han passed to Van Exel, who ran to the front of him, the latter received the ball and quickly entered the inside, Liu Han ran back and shook off Hornacek and ran to the left bottom line, Van Exel entered the Jazz team inside and faced a very dangerous crossing of the Jazz players' supplemental defense, and the ball crossed most of the court to Liu Han's hands.

Due to the speed of the ball, Liu Han had almost reached a negative angle when he received the ball, but he did not hesitate at all, and jumped directly to shoot, Hornacek's pursuit was a little slower, and Liu Han had already shot when he came over.

Liu Han's shot almost grazed the edge of the basket and flew into the net, and Jazz fans even let out a burst of exclamation at the shot, because at some angles it looked like Liu Han's ball was almost flying from behind the rebound.

The equalization made the Jazz players look a little dazed, because the goal was almost impossible to score, but Liu Han scored it magically.

The game is still in the last 22 seconds, and the Jazz still have one last chance to attack, they can choose to score quickly and then come back to defend, or they can use up the game as much time as possible, even if they don't score in the end, the two teams can continue to play overtime.

Coach Jerry Sloan, who called a timeout, chose to run out of time in the game and try not to give the Lakers one last chance to attack.

Serving on the sideline at halftime, the Lakers did not have a very tight defense serve, Stockton received the ball smoothly, and he dribbled steadily two meters outside the three-point line, waiting for the time to pass.

With 10 seconds left, the Jazz players started to move, Malone mentioned the outside to cover Stockton, the Lakers switched defenses, Horry followed Stockton, and Malone misplaced to face Van Exel.

Stockton did not hesitate and passed the ball to Ma Long, who was about to shoot when he received the ball, but what everyone didn't notice was that when Van Axel misplaced Ma Long, Liu Han quietly gave up the pursuit of Hornacek, but stayed behind Ma Long when Hornacek bypassed Ma Long, and when Ma Long received the ball and was about to shoot, Liu Han suddenly came around from behind Ma Long and cut off the basketball that Ma Long was about to lift.

With five seconds left in the game, the situation took a subtle turn.

After Liu Han cut the ball, he quickly picked up the ball and ran to the Jazz halfcourt, next to Ma Long, who was protesting to the referee, and the Jazz players who reacted.

Liu Han ran towards the Jazz half court at a gallop, and the Jazz players also went crazy and began to chase Liu Han.

Time passed second by second, Liu Han ran to the Jazz's three-point line with less than two seconds left, his cheetah-like body jumped suddenly, his body leaned forward slightly because of the rapid braking just now, and the Jazz players who had chased after him also jumped up from behind Liu Han, but Liu Han's shot was faster.

The arc of the basketball is just in time to see the red light of the timer at some angles, followed by the disappointing sound of the basketball brushing the Nets and the cheers of the Lakers players.

After the shot, Liu Han did not look back calmly as usual, but stared closely at the basketball flying in the air, this ball was too critical, Liu Han also felt a little nervous, and after the ball flew into the net, Liu Han turned back to greet the Lakers players who ran towards him.

This is Liu Han's second defeat of the Jazz, but the difference is that this kill will change the fate of the Lakers.
