Li Zhen's past record is too frightening, and when he stood next to Nowitzki and completed two successful defensive counterattacks, the Mavericks coaching staff was like a frightened bird, and the audience at the scene was nervous and worried. Charles Barkley sat in the commentary seat, and he sighed from the bottom of his heart: "Bruce has too many ghost ideas. ”

"The image of him now standing next to Nowitzki reminds me of the time when Magic Johnson was the center. The Magic was voted MVP in that Finals. ”

"Bruce always comes up with something new because he's so well-rounded. Before, I didn't feel like he was a threat to Michael Jordan, but now... He's really dominating the game, in his own unique way. He has several very different modes of play. ”

"Moreover, he has more initiative than Michael Jordan!"

Charles Barkley praised Li Zhen like no other.

But Li Zhen was still worried at this time.

In fact, his plan was for his teammates to use wheel battles to frantically drain Nowitzki's energy, and then surprise himself in the second half of the fourth quarter to upset the balance of the situation.

However, the teammates clearly failed to do that.

Dallas started to gain momentum late in the third quarter, forcing him to release his big move early, which meant Nowitzki had more time to adapt and adjust. Any superstar in the NBA is the best of the best, and there's no doubt about their ability to adjust.

So.

"A fierce battle ensued."

Li Zhen told his teammates. "It's time to fight for every ball."

Eddie Griffin also quickly jumped out to boost morale: "Young men, before I go on the field, I will give you four words from the great leader, 'Make up your mind, not be afraid of sacrifice, overcome all odds, and strive for victory.'" I learned this phrase from New York two years ago, and when I have difficulties in my life and on the court, I often recite these four sentences aloud because it gives me confidence and courage to fight against difficulties. I hope that all of you here will be able to recite these four sentences aloud. ”

Eddie Griffin's ideological work is not as lively as Stephen Marbury's, but fortunately, this is a group of ** o'clock suns, and they are full of energy.

Backbite!

When the whistle blew, they rushed to the stadium with Li Zhen with great ambition and actively devoted themselves to defense.

The Mavericks did make a difference.

Jason Kidd is no longer just passing the basketball to Nowitzki, Nowitzki is also using his height advantage to get rid of Li Zhen, and even makes some flexible moves.

Lee was very aggressive defensively.

However, Nowitzki still found a shot, and he quickly shot after receiving the basketball through cross-cover with Marion...... The NBA's top shooter can make a kill when he finds a little space...... Swish!

The basketball was caught.

The American Airlines Center Arena erupted in an astonishing roar.

They cheered for the goal.

Li Zhen is not depressed.

Although Nowitzki scored, he also managed to weaken his tactical role, and he turned back into the German tank of 2007 under the style of Li Zhen's kraft gum defence.

Back in the half, Li Zhen calmed down, he patiently combed the attack, and after blocking and dismantling with Milicic in the high post, he quickly went down, and quickly stopped on the way to attract the pinch pass to Blake Griffin, Griffin continued to rush with the ball, and then distributed the ball to Hayward in the low post.

Hayward makes a jumper...... Swish!

Hit!

The two sides were tied again.

Yibian fought again, Nowitzki still found a mobile opportunity, and his hand was very hot.

The basketball was shot by him again.

The two sides entered into a war of secession.

For a while, no one could help anyone.

Both sides maintained an efficient attack, with a high level of tension, and neither dared to relax.

In this way, it has been until the countdown stage is reached.

With 21 seconds left in the game, Li Zhen entered the paint zone with super individual ability, and forced Marion's left hand to pick the basketball into the basket in the double between Tyson Chandler and Sean Marion.

Give the team a 2-point lead.

After the goal, there was silence in the American Airlines Center.

Everyone's throat was breathing, as if someone had choked them.

Lee's goal was the terrifying invisible claw.

Blair hastened to request a final timeout.

If they can't seize the final 21 seconds of attacking time, they will lose the game and go on the road.

This is obviously too bad for Dallas.

In terms of their average age, the longer the series drags on, the tougher it will be for them.

So, they have to do everything they can to hit a three-pointer.

While the Dallas coaching staff was having a crazy brainstorming with Jason Kidd, Nowitzki and others, Li Zhen also sat on the bench and closed his eyes and ran his brain at high speed.

He's figuring out what might happen next.

The Mavericks have super shooters, with Stojakovic, Jason Terry, Sean Marion and even Jason Kidd all having the ability to shoot 3-pointers.

Still, Lee's instincts were telling him that Nowitzki would be the most likely executor.

As the absolute leader of the Mavericks, and even the first person in team history.

There's no reason why Nowitzki should give up the chance to execute the strike at this point.

However, Jamie Lin, Isaiah Thomas, and Larry Brown all think that this time... The most dangerous should be Jason Kidd, followed by Nowitzki or Stojakovic.

Jason Kidd was in possession and he was the most dangerous.

After frequent discussions.

Li Zhen still chose to follow Jason Kidd's side, and his role was to delay the old Kidd's pass. It's best to lock him up and let the calf's last attack end without a problem.

Backbite!

The whistle blew.

The game begins.

Li Zhen immediately followed Jason Kidd quickly, and from the moment Kidd Sr. received the basketball, he pressed him with his physical fitness to the sideline.

Lee Zhen was very successful defensively, and at one point forced Kidd into a corner.

But.

As a veteran ball-handling king, Kidd must have a few brushes in his hands.

When Li Zhen was about to push him into the corner, Kidd suddenly swooped forward, and as he charged, the basketball was quickly thrown out of his back through his left hand.

He originally wanted to take this opportunity to attract Li Zhen's attention and follow him inside.

However, the moment he passed, Li Zhen predicted it.

Li Zhen immediately shook off Kidd, who pretended to break inside, and he ran to the landing point of the pass.

But after all, it was a step slower.

Nowitzki catches the basketball, and he jumps up and down!

When he jumped, Li Zhen also suddenly exploded.

His defense has to be called timely.

The tip of his right finger is less than 5 centimeters away from the basketball.

And it was because of these five centimeters that the basketball easily escaped his block and fell to its end in a perfect arc.

And at 0.5 seconds after the whistle blew...... Swish!

Fall into the Nets.

The referee held out three fingers.

Lore Success!

The American Airlines Center arena erupted in screams and cheers.

The home court couldn't wait to spray fireworks downwards to celebrate their second home court, ignoring the shouts of Clippers head coach Jamie Lin, two advisors, Larry Brown, Isaiah Thomas, and the players on the sidelines. They are all complaining to the referee: this ball stepped on the line, it should be a 2 point.

However, the referee rejected the offer to watch the replay.

Usually at this time, even a miscalculation is a foregone conclusion.

Li Zhen didn't protest against the 3 points.

As he watched Nowitzki raise his hands in celebration, he finally got a sense of what it was like to be a player who had been killed by him.

It's sad.

If... If!

It would be great if my bouncing ability climbed above 90!!

Li Zhen thought very sadly.

Now, his talent is very high. However, the bounce instead became the weakest item. The weakest force is now at 92, and the bounce is still stuck at 88.

Just now, this ball is really just a little bit close.

If the bounce is in place, Nowitzki will not be able to succeed in the lore.

Moreover, if Lee can really bounce 5 inches higher, Nowitzki's height advantage will also be greatly reduced.

"It's definitely a two."

After watching the slow motion, Kenny Smith was very excited and said, "The Dallas Mavericks stole this victory." ”

"Yes. It really was a two-point shot. With the average age of the Dallas Mavericks, if they go into overtime, they may not be able to continue the high-intensity battle with the young Clippers. Charles Barkley added.

"And Bruce's defense just now was just fantastic. He both locked up Jason Kidd, dragged the clock until the last second, and disrupted Nowitzki in the final moments. As a result, Nowitzki failed to completely withdraw to the three-point line and made a hasty shot. ”

"If the referee sees Nowitzki's stepping on the line, it's a 100-point defense."

Barkley was praising Li Zhen.

But Li Zhen obviously didn't want to pay attention to these things, and he quietly walked into the players' tunnel.

It was the biggest setback of his career.

The Dallas Mavericks are also the most formidable opponent he's ever faced in his career, so strong that he can't afford to have any tricks.

They must be destroyed head-on in order to make the cut.

Westward! Sure enough, it is much more competitive than in the east.

……

After the game, many media outlets reported Nowitzki's 3-pointer stepping on the line, believing it to be a very bad miscalculation.

However, the wood is already in the boat.

It's like Maradona scoring a football with his left hand, which is a beautiful misunderstanding.

At least, that's what Dallas fans think.

They feel that God is on their side, and they don't bother with the pundits' accusations, let alone argue about whether the Mavericks can hold up the Clippers' young firepower in overtime.

Making a fortune in silence is the way Dallas people choose.

Los Angeles was very excited, whether it was Isaiah Thomas, Larry Brown, or the team's owner, Raheem Sterling, who were all vocal in the media, accusing themselves of being treated unfairly.

All of a sudden, public opinion was overwhelming.

But Li Zhen is always quiet, he doesn't want to put himself in the position of a victim.

With his proud character, it was impossible for him to pursue these details. For him, it didn't matter if Nowitzki hit a 3 or 2 points, the moment the basketball flew out of his fingertips, he already decided the winner.

……

The Clippers have lost two games in a row, and Lee's path to the cut has been particularly difficult.

At the same time, the other semifinals in the West were also as Li Zhen expected, and the Thunder won two victories without blood. The Memphis Grizzlies did not continue the Black Eight Miracle, and they became extremely difficult under the impact of the talents of the Thunder and several young masters.

Meanwhile.

The situation of the Eastern Conference semifinals is also very clear.

The New York Knicks Big Four easily eliminated the Miami Heat, who had finally qualified.

The Chicago Bulls, led by Derrick Rose, easily wrapped the aging Big 3 into dumplings.

Judging by the current situation.

Many authoritative media predicted that the Dallas Mavericks would represent the West in the finals against the New York Big Four or the Chicago upstarts.

This will end Bruce Lee's four-year journey to the finals.

Between the words, many people feel sorry for Li Zhen.

…

Meanwhile. Having just returned to Los Angeles, Lee received an official invitation from Taylor Swift to perform the first of her world tour at Stamp Arena.

She has been practicing this performance for a long time, and she has great hopes for it.

She also invited many good friends, girlfriends, and relatives to attend, and as the most important man in her life now, Bruce Lee was of course within the scope of her invitation.

She even wanted Lee Jin to be a guest at her concert.

But Li Zhen still politely rejected her.

He didn't want to be giggling at this time, even though he knew it wouldn't affect his own competitive form. But what do your teammates think? The team has lost in a row, and the captain still runs to a concert, isn't this self-destructive morale?

However, under Taylor Swift's bitter pleading, Li Zhen still decided to agree to the invitation.

He decided to go to this concert.

And what he didn't expect was.

Five minutes after he agreed to the invitation, Elizabeth Olsen called and asked Li Zhen if she could accompany her to Taylor Swift's concert.

Taylor Swift's concert was a big one.

As the most popular diva of the new generation, this concert has been hard to find in Hollywood, and many celebrities have entered the concert through backstage connections.

Forehead....

Li Zhen couldn't refuse Elizabeth.

Although he knew that Olsen and Taylor Swift were people from both camps, but... What if I don't say yes and we meet again at the concert?

Wouldn't it be more embarrassing? There is even the possibility of new incidents erupting.

So, Li Zhen decided to agree to this request.

But the unexpected happened next.

Taylor Swift's concert guest turned out to be Scarlett Johansson.

Feed!

What's going on?

She's an actress!!

Li Zhen suspects that there may be a conspiracy here!
