At the beginning of the second half, both sides fielded their main lineups as usual.

Mavericks for Dirk. Nowitzki + Munta . Ellis + Jose. Calderon + Sean. Marion + Samuel. Dareham Porter.

The Lakers are Kobe Bryant + Nash + Meeks + Gasol + Tang Qian.

Staples Center, home commentator Bill. McDonald said:

I hope that the Purple and Gold can improve a little in the second half of tonight, otherwise they will be beaten three games in a row, and the next game will be on the home court of the Mavericks, and the situation of the Lakers will be dangerous.

This is a 100% correct word, this battle of Tianwang Mountain is very important for the Lakers.

Compared to the Mavericks, they are under more pressure and have no way back.

However, this similar situation, the Lakers have not encountered it, in the 08-09 playoffs, the Lakers and the Houston Rockets played Game 7, but finally won the championship. The original Spurs also played Game 7 with the Mavericks this season before they successfully advanced. Therefore, if you don't play well in the first two rounds, it is not impossible to win the championship.

It doesn't affect anything.

However, if you are directly eliminated, it is another story.

The Mavericks' hand is still very smooth, which was cultivated by consecutive wins in the front, but the Lakers were a little suppressed by the momentum and played tied. However, there are always times when the game can't be played, and at this time, the Mavericks are very accustomed to handing over the basketball in their hands to No. 41 Dirk. Nowitzki. They also know that the Germans did not break out in form in this game, and even so, the latter did the job relatively perfectly in the first half.

That Eastern Center, the person who just got the DPOY, seems to be a little blinded, which is also a point that can be exploited.

In the playoffs, it's all about winning, and no one will sympathize with the opponent or the enemy.

Nowitzki holds the ball, a triple threat, and then subconsciously prepares to jump out. He also felt that the Lakers No. 29 was not in much shape for the whole series, but he didn't have the time to explore and sympathize. He has to fight for the results of the city of Dallas.

"Dirk. Nowitzki! Basketball is Dirk again. Nowitzki's hands! How will this ball be defended? Will he be able to defend it??? I can hear that the two on-site commentators of the Lakers are a little uncertain and nervous in their words. Because of this round of the series, Tang Qian's game was indeed not good, and his defense was average. Although this is also the reason why he performed a very "thankless" defensive task, but in the end, it is his opponent who has the greatest impact on the battle situation, this problem, if you don't look for him, who else can you find?

Gasol? Now everyone's attention is on Tang Qian, and it is only until this round of the series is over that some sane fans will slowly begin to recall this.

Some people in ESPN have been writing in advance, preparing to make a big black again at No. 29 of the Lakers, mocking him so much that he can't even hold the DPOY trophy.

Tang Qian's reaction was much faster than before, at least much better than in the first half of this game, and with his physical fitness and long arms, it gave the Germans who did not explode a large shooting interference. Basketball, dang~, slightly off the crosshair, bounced out of the basket. Rebounding Gasol protected it steadily, defending the rebounding ball, even if the Spaniards are a few years later, it will be a first-class existence in the league, which is also something that Tang Qian can rest assured to go out and defend Dirk. Novitzki's cause.

But there is nothing wrong with a ball, after all, even Jordan, there are always misses, and it is impossible to maintain a 100% shooting rate. No one on the Mavericks team took this seriously.

Brush ~ Lakers Kobe Bryant caught the ball and hit a 2-pointer, when the team's momentum was suppressed, giving role players is far less stable than giving the star a shot. In addition to hard ability, there is also a problem of anti-pressure, role players are role players, not everyone is Horry is Fisher, key shots, headwinds, stability is naturally the top scorer is guaranteed.

Needless to say, the Lakers' top scorer, Kobe Bryant. Bryant just averaged 43.7 points per game in the regular season, not to mention the Lakers, and in the entire history of the NBA, he is the absolute top three individual attack season. Plus the opponent is not Monta. Ellis is Marion, in fact, counting the No. 1~3 position of the entire Mavericks, no one on the outside can stop Kobe. I can't do it even with a little delay.

So as soon as Nash found that the rest of the Lakers were not strong enough, he immediately changed his passing thinking, starting from the tandem team to "feeding" Kobe Bryant. The effect of this change is obvious, especially when Tang Qian once again defends Dirk. Nowitzki after a ball. The momentum of the Lakers has finally improved a little.

"You've recovered a lot, but it's not enough, it's not as good as your regular season!" Nowitzki started talking trash-talking, trying to influence Don's recovery. How do you know that Tang Qian opened his mouth and said, "You are not at your peak level for a long time, are you?" We're half a pound and eight taels. ”

"You can't stop me." Nowitzki Road.

"I'll do my best." Tang Qian said: "I'm not joking this time. ”

As soon as the Mavericks' overall feel came, they began to look for Nowitzki to break the game just like in the previous two games. This hand, at least in the third and fourth, worked wonders. Nowitzki took the ball, he looked at the Lakers No. 29, who was a little taller than himself in front of him, put away the slight contempt of the first two shots, and his concentration quickly climbed.

"Nowitzki took a defensive offense with a back hit, and the hot immediately hit the hard top, competing for the strength attribute, and the Germans couldn't take advantage of the hot face." That's true, Tang Qian's bench press this season has stabilized at around 400 pounds, which is no longer the number that Nowitzki can achieve. But the attacker still has to occupy an advantageous position, and when it comes to back play, Nowitzki cooperates with his golden rooster independence, which is also a must in the league.

The rhythm of the back fight is great, but the effect of hitting Tang Qian like this will not be too good.

Nowitzki's weight has also weakened as he gets older, and he has long since lost his peak form in a championship season. This has a significant impact on strength and force. But this problem generally does not appear easily, after all, the German is also one of the natural misalignments marked, higher than him is not as fast as him, faster than him is not as tall, and the Heat's Bosh is also considered to be the No. 4 position with high dexterity and agility attributes, and the original ESPN prediction was that it could give the Germans a lot of shooting interference. But...... The fact is that Bosh was eaten by a dozen and one by one.

Especially when it matters most.

He can keep up with Nowitzki's speed, and his height is not too weak, and even slightly superior in terms of reach. But so what? He suffered a big loss in the strength attribute and tonnage attribute, so he was still beaten by the Germans one by one, and he had no power to fight back. Only the Oriental man in front of him, he was the first defender to give Nowitzki such a lot of defensive pressure.

Speed + height + strength, all of them are better than Nowitzki, and the tonnage is much heavier than Nowitzki this season, which makes Nowitzki's "natural misalignment" advantage instantly offset. He used to reach nearly 260 pounds in his peak season, but that was before, and now he has doubts about 240 pounds. Although Tang Qian is not yet a 280-pound heavy center, he is close to 270 pounds, and this weight can give full play to his strength advantage. When the top person is stuck in the position, the lower plate is more stable and stable.

But do you think you can stop me that way? Nowitzki, as a former supergiant, broke out in an instant, exploded the species, and then forced the golden rooster to shoot independently! The basketball crossed Tang Qian's fingers and hit the board into the Lakers' net!

“NO！ The Germans are scoring again! Is it going to repeat the nightmare of the previous two games? "Bill. McDonald said, "Hot, you need to think of a way!! ”

"I'm in." Nowitzki Road.

"I saw it, I didn't expect you to break out again, you really deserve to be a representative of a crown of gods, amazing." After Tang Qian finished speaking, he ran to the front court and began to participate in the Lakers' offense. It's as if it weren't affected by this goal. It's completely different from the first half, the first two. That impatience and eagerness are not reflected at all.

Is it hidden? Nowitzki was a little confused, but he didn't think much of it, because of the ball, he went in, and that's the best result. The Lakers attacked, the basketball didn't go in, and Gasol got the ball, but the moment he shot was blocked by Dyreham Porter, Damham Porter, and now there is only one bright spot left. Gasol was a little annoyed, he signaled to the referee that the ball was violated and beaten, but because his words and attitude were a bit excessive, under the "zero tolerance" rule, the referee directly gave him a technical foul.

Paul. Gasol? Sorry, you're not on the "protection list" mentioned above.

How can you talk to us like this without giving some punishment?

Brush ~ Mavericks technical free throws and continue to serve and attack.

The NBA is not FIBA, except for technical fouls that are over-suspended, the rest of the ball is only free throws once, and does not perform ball exchanges. So the Mavericks continued to possess the ball after the free throws. This ball Monta. Ellis tried an offense on his own, but he didn't call the pick-and-roll and Kobe Bryant one-on-one, and this season was a dead act. Kobe Bryant directly capped off the ball! Then the solo fast attack, reflexively folded and dunked into the basket!!

This dunk restored the atmosphere in the Staples Center a lot, but at the moment, the Mavericks are ahead. The momentum hasn't quite turned. The next ball the Mavericks started to play the block and dismantle, or Monta. Ellis, he tried to use the high post blocking of Dalem Porter on the inside, broke through Kobe's defense, and scored points under the basket. Because the Lakers' super interior defender, No. 29 Dongfang Scalping, was pulled out of the interior by Nowitzki, he had a good opportunity to kill the basket.

However, only if you break through the past.

Otherwise, nothing can be done.

Kobe Bryant played this ball very sophisticated, and the defense didn't care about Durham Porter at all, and directly took a backward loop, dodged the latter, and then commanded Gasol on the inside and he to fight inside and outside, trying to block Monta. Ellis. As for the rest, they are still staring at their defenders and don't need to run over to help. There's a problem with that, and that's that Bryant took to continue to add Monta. Ellis, that's the equivalent of letting go of Dareham Porter, who came out of the high block. Once Monta. Ellis opted to split the ball and split it, and Ballam Porter would have a small shot opening.

But, so what? Kobe Bryant doesn't plan to target Durham Porter at all, because this guy has dropped so much in mid-range shooting this season that he has completely lost his accuracy as before. Only about 26% of the regular season remains. The proportion of shots has also decreased significantly compared with before. This all shows that Bowler's basket has degraded dramatically. There's no need to bother with the defense.

Don't think that Kobe Bryant's judgment is problematic, the series will be more than ten times more detailed and careful for the players of the opposing team than the regular season. So some of the basic data of Hellham Porter this season, Kobe Bryant also kept it in mind, plus the former has always had a tradition of dropping the chain in the playoffs, and it is also worth a try.

Sure enough, Monta. As soon as Ellis saw that Gasol was guarding in front and Kobe Bryant was chasing after him, he immediately chose to pass the ball back, and the basketball flew straight to Durham Porter, who was temporarily unguarded. But after Durham Porter got the ball, he hesitated a little before he shot, and the ball, when ~, smashed on the front of the basket, almost three without sticking.

Bryant got the rebound, Nash pushed a wave of defensive counterattacks, and finally the Lakers' No. 24 wing fast-break layup was successful.

Brush~

Seeing the frequent losses of his side's offense, German Nowitzki once again chose to stand up and take the initiative to go to the left wing position to ask for the ball, which is to rely on his own personal ability to help the Dallas Mavericks tide over this difficulty, just like in the previous two games. The reason why the Lakers didn't play well in front of them and lost the game was because the Mavericks couldn't prevent Nowitzki's goal when their scoring was blocked. In this case, it means that the momentum of the Mavericks cannot be suppressed, and there is no way to completely turn it over.

As soon as Nowitzki got the ball, Tang Qian followed, and the Mavericks quickly cleared the left side, giving the German plenty of space to play alone and make moves.

"It's Nowitzki VS hot again!! It's this matchup again!! I believe everyone is no stranger to this round of the series, if you can't defend it, I'm afraid that the momentum of the Mavericks will rekindle and be difficult to suppress. "Bill. McDonald said worriedly, but this is not a meaningless blind worry, what the Lakers are most afraid of at the moment is the most assured defender and defensive point in the regular season.

There's no way, who called Tang Qian was blown up by the Germans in the previous 2 games.

It's not surprising that people think so.

Tang Qian bent down and bent his knees, looking serious, waiting for Dirk. Nowitzki's offensive arrived.

It's one-on-one again.

It's another offensive and defensive single-kill battle exclusive to the two.

PS: It's OK tomorrow~ Thank you for your understanding during this time~~~~
