Chapter 112: Don't let go of the old master Liu Han, fight to defend the pistons (medium)
On the well-known "special seat" of Cuban in the American Airlines Center Arena in the entire league, Cuban, the owner of the Mavericks, indifferently watched the Mavericks' bad start, compared with the previous two rounds of the series, when the team entered the Western Conference Finals, Cuban was calm on the contrary, and Cuban, who had restored his identity as a business tycoon, could use his smart brain to analyze the game, and he had full confidence in his team, even if the Mavericks did not score a point in the first two minutes and the opponent Lakers scored 7 points in a row.

The Mavericks did not start well, the Lakers attached great importance to Liu Han's defense, and Liu Han himself wanted to open the opening to his teammates, otherwise he would have to take the lead in the whole game, but he didn't expect that his teammates, who were very normal before, suddenly became nervous when they really arrived in the Western Conference Finals.
On the other hand, the Lakers played very smoothly on their side, and the defense they actually just focused on defending Liu Han, and the rest of the Mavericks had a lot of opportunities, and in the offense, the Lakers played very strongly, O'Neal didn't say, even the old Malone hit the shot as soon as he came up, and they beat the Mavericks a 7-0 at the beginning, which many people didn't expect, including the two "teasing" commentaries on the sidelines.
"It seems that the young cowboys are indeed a little nervous, Liu has to solve the problem on his own, I want to see him rush into the inside line to block that dead fat man."
Barkley has always had a problem with O'Neal, he is the kind of person who is used to being the big man of the team, and he can't get used to seeing other people being big in front of him, he fought with O'Neal when he was in the Rockets, but he didn't lose to the other party.
"Haha, Charles, do you still have an issue with Shaq? Don't forget, you're also a dead fat man now, haha, the most important thing for Liu now is to help his teammates score and build confidence, otherwise will he turn on the scoring mode again in the whole game? ”
Kenny is always good at finding fault with Barkley's words.
The Lakers attacked, O'Neal received a pass on the inside and squeezed away as soon as he leaned on Nowitzki with his back, and then turned around to dunk, but at this time Liu Han had given up his defensive Payton.
Liu Hangao jumped high to block O'Neal, and he was not afraid of his old friend.
However, what Liu Han didn't expect was that O'Neal suddenly threw the ball to the back of his head, and Ma Long, who was keeping up, calmly dunked with both hands, in terms of experience, Ma Long can be said to be the most experienced among the players on the floor, and he will not miss any opportunity to follow up.
The Lakers extended the margin to nine points, and the Mavericks fell into complete passivity.
"Man, your current teammates don't have anything to rely on me."
O'Neill, who was returning to defense, did not forget to send a teasing word when he passed by Liu Han's side.
The Mavericks didn't attack quickly this time, Liu Han clapped his hands and shouted to his teammates: "Guys, relax, relax, it's just a game." ”
Liu Han didn't know how much his words would do, but he knew he had to do something as soon as possible.
Nelson, who was on the sidelines, also stood up and walked to the center circle, thinking about blowing two whistles on the court, he chose not to call a timeout, but to trust the adjustment ability of the players on the field.
Back in the game, the Mavericks advanced to the front court after serving from the bottom line, and the Lakers Finley followed Liu Han as soon as possible, everyone knows how far Liu Han's range is, and now what the Lakers want to do most is to completely use the momentum of the opening game to suppress the Mavericks, and must not let Liu Han use three points to open the situation.
Liu Han easily dribbled with his right hand and motioned to Nowitzki to come out to block for him, and Finley was immediately ready to stick up and press Liu Han, but Liu Han seemed to see through Finley's intentions at a glance, and at the moment when Finley's center of gravity just moved, he directly accelerated towards Finley's left side.
In a hurry, Finley turned around to chase but just met Nowitzki's cover, Liu Han had already accelerated and rushed to the inside, and everyone on the Lakers immediately contracted their defense to strangle Liu Han's singles on the inside.
However, Liu Han did not attack when he was already getting up to speed, and he passed the ball to Nowitzki outside the three-point line with a behind-the-head pass like O'Neal just now.
Nowitzki immediately hit a three-pointer after receiving the ball, and after missing two shots in the opening game, Nowitzki's three-pointer this time was a solid three-pointer, and the Mavericks finally opened up the situation.
In the face of disadvantages, Liu Han chose to trust his teammates, and Nowitzki did not live up to Liu Han's trust.
"Looks like my teammates are still reliable, Shaq."
Liu Han also teased O'Neill.
Nowitzki's three-pointer seemed to have completely opened the Mavericks' originally closed "water wheel head", and the rest of the Mavericks began to recover.
In the defense back, Nowitzki withstood O'Neal, but he suddenly withdrew when O'Neal received the ball and was about to turn around, which shook O'Neal a stumble, and at the same time, Odom, who came from the weak side to make up for the defense, gave O'Neal a solid hot pot to force the shot.
Liu Han suddenly stuck in front of Peyton, snatching the basketball that was fanned out in advance, and at the same time he instantly hit the ball to the floor on the right side of his body, but he himself suddenly turned around from the left side with a dodge, and Peyton behind Liu Han was completely deceived by Liu Han's feints.
After using speed and feints to flash Payton, Liu Han successfully got the basketball, and at the same time, the rest of the Mavericks began to rush towards the Lakers halfcourt like sharp arrows, and the Mavericks' speed advantage was completely displayed.
Among the teams in the NBA this season, the Lakers are definitely the first in terms of interior strength, although O'Neal's data has declined this season, and Malone has also experienced injuries, but their dominance is still recognized by everyone, but in terms of speed, the Lakers are not good, and the Mavericks are an out-and-out "run-and-bomb" team.
When Liu Han rushed to the Lakers' three-point line, he was followed only by Payton Sr., and the rest of the Lakers failed to retreat into place.
After Liu Han stepped into the three-point line, he stepped on the free throw line and flew up, his body completely pulled apart in the air, like a longbow that curved.
Like a thunderbolt of lightning, the Lakers' basket experienced a thunderous dunk, and the entire American Airlines Center arena was completely boiling.
When Liu Han retreated to his own half, Lakers head coach Phil Jackson immediately called the first timeout of the game. Jackson knows that the Mavericks are on the rise, which is the worst for his team.
