Chapter 290: Either You Die or I Die! (Updated to!) Dry, dry! )
"We have to get every detail right."
After returning to the dressing room, Johnson highlighted the tactical points of the second half in front of the players.
may have the intention to train Johnson to be his successor, and Nelson Sr. always finds some opportunities for Johnson to show himself after his comeback.
Johnson has also proved that he does have that ability.
Tactical adjustments or something, there is very little room for the series to play here.
With the current state of the Lakers, the most effective way for the Mavericks to turn around is to do a good job of details and seize every opportunity.
"Believe in ourselves, we took revenge on the Spurs last year, and we will definitely be able to take revenge on the Lakers this year, you are the Avengers, the Avengers!"
Johnson's words made the team's blood boil.
Although the "Avengers" movie has not yet started filming, Marvel's comics have come out as early as the 60s of the last century, and they have a huge influence in the United States.
Sun Hao's crossing was also very warlike after listening to it.
They are the Avengers and they are FPX, and this game must be won!
Coming back in the second half, the game continued.
Sharp-eyed fans noticed that the Mavericks were back from the break, and that look and state were even stronger than in the first half.
Cole, who was in the commentary seat, saw this scene and suddenly felt that he had predicted the first half too early.
Although the playoff experience is relatively poor, the fighting spirit, or the desire to win, is far better than that of the Lakers.
After all, they have been defeated for two years in a row!
And despite the defeat, their record is getting better and better every year, and the playoffs are getting farther and farther away every time.
Such a team can be described in four words: the more frustrated, the braver!
In the second half, the Mavericks attacked first.
Sun Hao blocked and dismantled Nowitzki in the front court, and after dismantling, Nowitzki went out, and he broke through directly.
This choice was a bit of a surprise to the Lakers, Horry pounced and couldn't get it back, Sun Hao accelerated and threw off Horry to the free throw line, and then jumped.
O'Neill saw it and pounced.
His motivation in these two games is obviously getting stronger.
And he knows that Sun Hao now has a very good throw, and most of the jumps in this position are to be chosen in this way.
It's just that Sun Hao's choice is a little different from what he thought.
Sun Hao was indeed about to throw at first, but after seeing O'Neal pounce, he pulled the ball back in the air, and then turned sideways and glided past him!
Well, if you don't look at whether you want to throw or dunk in front, this ball is completely Jordan's classic dunk turned layup gif.
O'Neill didn't forcibly pull Sun Hao down.
On the one hand, it must be a malicious foul to do so, and on the other hand, he has a great impression of Sun Hao, and he will not do that kind of dangerous action to the latter.
In the eyes of the fans, Sun Hao glided past O'Neal and made a light wipe before falling.
The ball spun around and wiped the board, bounced off and fell into the net.
Sun Hao's goal was scored!
Although his height is not rising, Sun Hao has been training bounce in the system, and his bounce has been rising!
There was a lot of restlessness at the scene, and the goal was quite beautiful!
And this ball is very demanding for the players to stay in the air.
Sun Hao, you can really participate in the slam dunk contest!
The Mavericks' bench was also boiling.
Although it is only two points, this kind of goal is a huge morale boost for the team.
Back on the defensive end, the Mavericks players showed their enthusiasm and did a perfect defensive rotation.
The role players didn't get a chance, and the ball ended up in Kobe's hands.
Bryant received the ball and directly singled Bale, and after shaking, he made a quick stop and pulled out from the middle distance.
Bale's defense was in place, and Kobe Bryant was completely facing the defense.
"Huh!"
But he put the ball and threw it in!
The scene suddenly erupted into a tsunami-like cheer.
This is their Lakers, the Dynasty Lakers!
Sun Hao and Nowitzki glanced at each other, and then ...... The fighting spirit is stronger!
The better the Lakers played, the more excited they became!
It's not interesting to beat the Lakers like the one before, and to beat the Lakers like this...... It's exciting!
Sun Hao and Nowitzki continued to play blocking and dismantling in the front court, this time Sun Hao went out, and Nowitzki went inside.
Horry and Fisher pounced together, and Sun Hao lobbed the ball in.
Nowitzki saw O'Neal who was saving after receiving the ball, and made a real stride layup.
O'Neal saw that he pulled Nowitzki down and sent him straight to the free throw line.
It's not Sun Hao, he's not so polite.
Nowitzki shook his arm, didn't say anything, and walked straight to the free throw line.
Adjusting his breathing, in the face of the boos from the sky, Nowitzki hit two free throws steadily.
The Lakers attacked, and O'Neal received the ball and passed to Horry in the bottom corner.
Horry didn't have a three-point shot, and he really had a hard time scoring from the outside of the playoffs this season.
Dampier jammed O'Neal and Bodiloga grabbed the defensive rebound with quick eyes.
However, Bryant reacted quickly, didn't know when he appeared near Bodi Loga, and poked the ball out of his hand.
Bodiloga tried to get the ball back, but when he couldn't catch it, the ball slid out of his hand and out of bounds.
At this moment, a tall figure appeared on the sidelines, struggling to save the ball.
Nowitzki!
He threw himself out in the save!
It's a pity that he was too tall and didn't save the ball and threw himself off the field.
The referee's whistle blows, signaling the ball in the front court, the Lakers' possession.
Bodi Loga and Sun Hao went over for the first time and pulled Nowitzki up.
The Mavericks quickly got back into defense.
A scoreless round, but on the commentary bench, Kerr felt more and more that his prediction under the first half was too hasty.
Because the Mavericks' desire to win is too similar to the Bulls team he played for.
Nowitzki's save just now is not much different from the GIF of Rodman flying sideways in the air to save the ball.
The Lakers frontcourt ball continued to be sent out, and Bryant hit Bell with his back and rolled over for a step-back jumper.
Bale was still very well guarded, giving enough visual interference at the moment of Kobe Bryant's jump.
"Phew!"
This time Bryant couldn't hit the ball.
Dampier defended the defensive rebound, and the Mavericks struggled to hold the round.
The ball was exchanged, and Sun Hao continued to block with Nowitzki.
Sun Hao broke through this time and gave the ball to Bodi Luoga, who cut in on the weak side.
Bodiloga cut the ball at the right time, and after receiving the ball, he soared straight into the air.
"Bang!"
He slammed the ball into the basket with his right hand.
Bodilloga's desire for the championship is no lower than that of Sun Hao and Nowitzki!
51 to 55!
The scene was restless, and after the second half came up, the Mavericks played a wave of 6-2 offense, narrowing the gap to 4 points.
What's more important is the momentum of the Mavericks, and they feel it.
Well, O'Neal also felt it, he didn't pass the ball again after taking the ball in the front court, and directly attacked the basket with the bag.
The shot from the bag didn't score, but it caused Nowitzki's defensive foul and he got two free throws.
It's not the most effective way to play like this, but it's the best way to take on the Mavericks in terms of momentum.
O'Neal's ball quotient is really high.
Moreover, after walking to the free throw line, he adjusted his breathing and hit both free throws!
O'Neal said that he only made free throws at critical moments, and that was not a joke, it was true!
The crowd erupted in cheers, and with both free throws, they felt like they had won the game.
However, on the commentary bench, Cole's nature as a fan was fully mobilized.
The quality of the attack and defense played by the two teams in this section is very terrible.
Every detail on the field, every opportunity, is the optimal solution to be made.
This game is no less exciting than the finals.
He just thought about Sun Hao's signature three-point retreat after the frontcourt and Nowitzki's block.
"Huh!"
Hit the shot!
54 to 57!
The margin is so small that there is only one goal left!
Looking back, Kobe Bryant forced a basket and scored a layup around O'Neal's air!
This is the best game ever played by either side in the series!
No, to be precise, it should be the best game since the playoffs began!
"Now they have the same strength, the same opportunities."
Cole admitted to slapping himself in the face and spoke in the commentary seat.
The Lakers have the upper hand in experience, but the Mavericks are more eager to win.
There are bonuses on both sides, and both sides are evenly matched!
In the stalemate, the two sides fought until the last quarter.
In the last 1 minute and 52 seconds, the two sides tied at 103!
After nearly two hours of fighting, the two sides were once again on the same running line.
Possession of the ball, in the hands of the Lakers!
Kobe Bryant attacked himself at a critical moment.
He wobbled and then came to a stop, and another picturesque but difficult step-back shot.
"Phew!"
Then, the shot ended in striking iron.
At this point in the high-intensity game, the players' physical fitness is almost at the limit.
At this moment, O'Neal took his huge body into the air on the inside and grabbed the offensive rebound!
He doesn't have the ball, and he can grab the attacking opportunity on his own!
After winning the offensive rebound, it was another hard shot that carried Dampier and Nowitzki.
Although it didn't score, it caused a defensive foul on Dampier!
Adjusting his breath, O'Neal stepped onto the free-throw line.
First penalty, hit.
Second penalty, hit.
Another two-free throw!
The fans at the scene were excited.
O'Neal still didn't have many inside singles opportunities tonight, and his shooting percentage of 5-of-16 shooting was even unusually inefficient.
But in reality, he's grabbed nine frontcourt rebounds and made 22 free throws!
Of course, the most important thing is that he made 16 of 22 free throws!
This free throw shooting percentage is not O'Neal!
But this may be the real O'Neal, the more critical the game, the more accurate the penalty!
105 to 103!
The Lakers took a crucial two-point lead.
"Defend! Defend! ”
The fans cheered for the Lakers in unison.
The Lakers still maintain a high intensity on the defensive end, and it is difficult for the Mavericks to get such an easy shot as they did in the opening game!
Sun Hao and Nowitzki burst to the free throw line after blocking and dismantling, and then blocked and dismantled with Dampier in a small area, and after taking a step, he suddenly burst into the air.
O'Neill had just squeezed past Dampier at this time, and he didn't have time to reach out.
"Bang!"
Sun Hao played a time difference and smashed the ball into the basket with his right hand.
The fans were stunned.
Because this ball is watching, it is Sun Hao who deducted O'Neal!
105 flat!
"God!"
Even Kenny Smith in the commentary seat was visually misled and opened his mouth wide in amazement.
It's really Dallas Carter!
Let's watch the little emperor Sun Hao soar into the sky, and the big shark Shaquin O'Neill will tell you what is unstoppable!
But no matter what, the first place of today's top five balls has been booked!
In the front row of the audience, Scarlett's face flushed.
I have to say that dunking is the most exciting thing in basketball.
Sun Hao's dunk just now made her heartbeat index burst off the charts.
Bryant's response shot from the outside...... Or not!
On the one hand, his shooting percentage after entering the playoffs is not very high, and on the other hand, Bale's defense has also improved greatly compared to last year!
It was O'Neal again, grabbing the offensive rebound, this time directly exerting force, after knocking away Dampier, and slamming the ball into the basket like a hammer with both hands.
The basket squeaked uncontrollably.
If this dunk is done a few more times, the basket will be dunked by him again!
The cheers of the audience erupted again.
This blood-pumping moment returns to the confrontation of flesh!
And the more you play to the end, the more difficult it becomes to score.
Both teams each had a wave of offense that didn't score.
The time came to the last 35 seconds, and Sun Hao pressed the time outside.
The fans in the stadium had all stood up, and the shouts of "Defend" echoed through the Staples Center.
Sun Hao and Nowitzki tried to block and dismantle, and the Lakers switched defenses quickly.
Sun Hao finally pulled Horry to a meter away from the three-point line, and suddenly pulled up a three-point shot.
The advantage of single-action shooting is that it is fast, which gives it a touch of surprise color.
Even if Sun Hao combined dribbling and shooting faster, he could have done it more perfectly.
But in the face of this season's scarry puzzle piece Horry, enough is enough.
The ball went past Horry's defense and shot at the basket like a long-range cruise missile.
The fans at the scene looked at the spinning basketball with straight eyes.
In the past countless key moments, Sun Hao has proven his key ball ability.
Now at the critical moment of the crucial game, the ball ......
"Huh!"
It's still in!
Sun Ritian!
107 to 108!
Mavericks, overtake the score!
"Whew!"
Even fans with big hearts feel a little out of breath after watching such a game.
Lakers, call a timeout!
In the final 20 seconds, the Lakers had the theoretical last chance to attack!
Either you die, or I die!
The fans at the scene were nervous and speechless.
It's not an exaggeration to say that life is hanging by a thread to describe the Lakers' current situation.
If the last attack is not scored, then the 1-3 situation, waiting for them is likely to be eliminated.
The scene was inexplicably quiet.
The sideline ball is sent out, and Kobe Bryant holds the ball on the outside.
One point behind, in theory, a strong attack on the inside is the best option.
Especially O'Neal's free throw shot tonight felt so good.
But the Mavericks obviously knew that too, and came up with a 2-3 defense.
O'Neal is in a position on the inside, which is also Phil Jackson's arrangement.
But Kobe Bryant didn't give the ball in.
He pressed the time a little bit, and when there were 2 seconds left in the time, he saw that the Mavericks had no spare strength to wrap him, so he shook it directly and chose to shoot outside three-pointers!
O'Neal couldn't help but explode directly in his heart when he watched it on the inside.
If you don't give the ball, forget it, and press the time!
Forget about the pressure time, and press so little!
This Nima Zhi ......
"Huh!"
Kobe Bryant continued his heroic play outside the three-point line this season, and his killer three-point shot went in!
O'Neill's face suddenly bloomed.
If it's rude, it's also changed in an instant...... Kobe Bryant!
There are 0.4 seconds left in the race!
110 to 108!
The Lakers, 2 points ahead of the Mavericks! (Recommended reading: Reading Files 2013)
