With 3.8 seconds left in the second quarter, Terry suddenly fell while preparing to catch the ball, Blake launched a fast break after a steal, Terry followed up with a foul, Blake hit one of two free throws, and the Lakers ended the first half 51-47.

Fisher hit a three-pointer shortly after the start of the third quarter and the Lakers extended their advantage to 58-51. However, the Mavericks' outside line will not show weakness, and Huang Yu and Nowitzki have scored three points in succession, and the Mavericks have narrowed the gap to 1 point. The Mavericks leveled the score several times, and with 2:08 left in the quarter, Chandler hit two free throws to tie the score at 64-64. After Gasol and Odom scored baskets one after another, and Kobe Bryant also stepped back to shoot, the Lakers scored six points in a row to gain the advantage again. The Mavericks missed a shot in the final two minutes of the quarter and trailed 66-72 after three quarters.

The Mavericks' counterattack was more tenacious than expected, and the outside three-pointer became their weapon. With 3:49 left in the game, Huang Yu hit a three-pointer from the bottom corner, and Nowitzki also scored a three-pointer from the same position a minute earlier. Bryant was then picked up for a steal, and Kidd made a clever pass to Huang Yu, who drew Odom to foul and hit two free throws to put the Mavericks up 86-87. Nowitzki also drew a foul after Bryant missed another step-back shot, hitting two free throws to put the Mavericks ahead with 2:40 left in the game.

Fisher managed to return a one-shot, but Huang Yu immediately hit a three-pointer, and after Odom turned and shot, Nowitzki scored with a breakaway hook to give the Mavericks a 93-91 lead heading into the final minute.

At the moment of life and death, Odom missed, and Nowitzki also missed, but Huang Yu grabbed a rebound worth thousands of gold, and the Lakers only fouled, and Huang Yu made two free throws. The Lakers were already a little panicked, and Fisher was stealed by Huang Yu after a pass error, so he had no choice but to send him to the free throw line, and hit two free throws again, and the Mavericks led 97-91 with 16 minutes and 6 seconds left in the game.

The Lakers were powerless to recover and fell into a 0-3 abyss. Barring a miracle, the road to defending the title ends here.

In this game, Nowitzki made 4 of 5 three-pointers and scored 29 points and 9 rebounds, Kidd had 11 points and 9 assists, Huang Yu got 28 points, 11 rebounds and 3 assists, Jason Terry came off the bench 18 points, and the Mavericks shot 16 of 29 three-pointers.

Kobe Bryant averaged only 17 points and 6 assists in this game, Bynum had a double-double of 21 points and 10 rebounds, Gasol had 12 points and 8 rebounds, and Odom had 18 points.

Huang Yu looked at Gasol and shook his head helplessly! When did my sister-in-law get separated from the Lakers? Maybe it's time! In the first two games, Gasol scored only 13 points and 9 rebounds per game! was widely criticized by the media for being invisible at a critical moment, even if Kobe Bryant became a dog, the Los Angeles media could find a backstabber for Kobe.

However, it is true that Gasol's performance in the playoffs has been inconsistent, maybe the time can go forward a little, and Gasol's state this season is not stable enough, which is a strange thing? Gasol was put on the shelf by the Lakers, and even left the team in December! Although it was forcibly suspended by the league, the Spaniard already knew that the team wanted to trade him, so he naturally had to perform well and strive to have a place after changing teams.

But the Lakers didn't give up, and after the league called off the trade, they kept contacting other teams, and in order to calm Kobe's anger, they had to do it, and who let them do nothing in the offseason?

The Zen master didn't use Barnes a lot after the injury, and the other two could only play in garbage time at all! How can Kobe Bryant play without a helper? Therefore, Gasol, as the only valuable person in the team who can be exchanged for people, can only continue to appear in trade rumors, which makes the Spaniards uncertain, and the state energy consumption is strange.

-----------

The Lakers' lead game trail shocked the whole league and even the world the next day, and the defending champion was beaten like this! Even Kobe Bryant's lifelong black ES*N used the Lakers' fear of being swept as the main headline of the next day's column! Of course, T*T and other media are not to be outdone, and for a while, the whole world is singing about the Lakers.

"Yes, miracles will happen! I'll help the team win the next game. ”

Artest roared in an interview.

Kobe Bryant looks like he is not allowed to enter, and the reporter also knows his habits and will not touch his moldy head!

And Bynum and Odom were chased and intercepted, and the reporters wanted to dig out the truth about Huang Yu being traded, whether it was Huang Yu and the Lakers who fell out, or was the management really brainless? Sent a scoring machine out and made it a big player in destroying the Lakers' three-game winning streak.

Huang Yu averaged 27 points per game in three games! He is definitely the one who can kick the Lakers into the abyss! But everyone with a little brain knows that Huang Yu is just an accomplice, and the real murderer is the management, and their inaction.

The Mavericks' bench team averaged 39 points per game in three games, while the Lakers only scored a pitiful 20 points! Even the Lakers were able to play only 8 players at one point! Tre Johnson, Joe Smith and others didn't even guard the water cooler at one point! The Zen master said that they could not appear because of injuries, but they didn't look like they were sick when they were all alive and kicking.

Huang Yu knew in his heart that he was sent away by the Lakers has nothing to do with whether the Lakers can defend the title, as long as the Lakers operate well, they may not be able to defeat the Mavericks, the Lakers just lost in the infighting, from Jeanie Buss and others have been suppressed since the offseason, if it weren't for the key task Kobe Bryant slapped the table to help, maybe the plan to trade Paul with Gasol and others would not have appeared.

It is inevitable that the Zen master will withdraw from the Lakers, even if Bass Jr. is incompetent, the old Buss will not let Jeanie Buss and the Zen Master suppress Bass Jr. in the Lakers, but Bass Jr. is looking for death by himself, fell into the trap of Jeanie Buss, and released a bold talk that the Lakers will return to the strong team in the West in three years, at least the playoffs can enter the second round, but the result is there, he has no ability to let the Lakers please predicament, so he can only obediently give up the position under the butt.

Although Jeanie Buss wants to return the Zen master to the Lakers after regaining the rights, she knows that the right thing can be addictive! The Zen master thinks that his woman has become the owner of the Lakers, can he have more rights! As a result, Jeanie Buss was not willing to give it to him, but just wanted him to help the Lakers get out of the current situation, and still let Kupchak as the general manager check and balance himself, so can the Zen master be capable? So the relationship between the two gradually deteriorated, and the left queen could only break up.

However, it turns out that Jeanie Buss still has a vision, although the Zen master led the team to win although it was criticized for relying on superstars, but no one can deny the results, but it is really not good to be a general manager, and the coach chooses to trade the players in a mess! Huang Yu was shocked when he heard that Dolan gave the Zen master such a high annual salary, if it was a coach's annual salary, it would not be terrible, but the general manager of a team who has no military achievements gave such a high annual salary, how can you make Elgin Baylor embarrassed.

Also playing on the same day as the Mavericks and Lakers were the Bulls and Hawks, with the Bulls winning 2-1 over the Hawks to regain home-court advantage.

History is strikingly similar. In 1997, Jordan's Bulls also met the Hawks in the second round, the first two games between the two sides were also 1-1, the third game Bulls won on the road, and then won two cities in a row, and finally eliminated the Hawks 4-2 and went to the championship.

Fourteen years later, the Hawks encountered a similar situation again, with the Spurs being blacked out and the Lakers in a desperate situation, and the game in the East was up and down.

After the opening, the Hawks' defense that dominated the home court was very loose, Lore Deng hit an easy jumper, Rose broke through and did not encounter blockage, and the game only played 49 seconds before the Hawks had to call a timeout.

After the timeout, the Hawks gradually got into the groove and quickly chased the score to 12-13, Boozer also scored a goal, and Rose scored one after another, and the Bulls opened up the gap again. Rose missed his first six shots in the final three minutes of the first quarter to score 17 points in the quarter to give the Bulls a 29-23 lead.

The Bulls' bench also made an impact, with Watson hitting back-to-back shots at the start of the second quarter and the Bulls quickly building a double-digit advantage.

The Bulls also got better from the outside, with 3:30 left in the quarter when Lore Deng and Korver hit back-to-back three-pointers, and Rose hit jumpers to give the Bulls a 19-point advantage at 54-35.

The Hawks only woke up from a dream after that, as Teague and Horford scored back-to-back baskets to go on a 7-2 run to tie the score at 43-56 at halftime.

Rose remained unstoppable in the second half, and after a minute of the third quarter, he and Bogans each hit a three-pointer to extend the Bulls' double-digit lead at 63-45.

The Hawks were unable to close the gap, and the home fans had even begun to turn against and boo the home team, and Rose did whatever he wanted, scoring 34 points in the first three quarters to give the Bulls an 80-63 lead.

In the fourth quarter, Rose continued the momentum, with 5:33 left in the quarter, Rose dribbled near the three-point line, feigned a breakthrough and then suddenly retreated, jumped up and hit a three-pointer, he hit two consecutive three-pointers, one scored eight points in a row, and Korver also hit a three-pointer after that, and with five minutes left in the game, the Bulls led by 22 points at 97-75.

The Eagles collapsed under Rose's attack, and they failed to make a shot in five minutes and were unable to close the gap again. Amid the defection of the home fans, the Eagles accepted defeat gloomily.

Rose scored 34 points in the first three quarters and finished with 44 points, a playoff high. He shot 16-of-27 from the field, including 4-of-7 from three-point range. In addition to scoring, he also had seven assists and grabbed five rebounds.

The Bulls' other starters failed to score in double figures. Noah grabbed 15 rebounds, Boozer had six points and six rebounds, Gibson had 13 points and 11 rebounds and Korver had 11 points.

The Eagles' starting five Tigers all scored in double figures, but still suffered a heavy defeat. Teague had 21 points, Josh Smith had 17 points and 13 rebounds, and Joe Johnson, Al Horford and Marvin Williams had 10 points each.

Although Rose played the best data since the playoffs, it still failed to become the headline, even the one-armed Rondo, Long Shaoxia helped the Celtics win a game at home, and they also failed to become the headlines, who made the whole world follow the trend to make up for the Lakers!

----------

In this series, the Lakers repeatedly missed opportunities, leading in Game 1 and Game 3 before being overturned by the Mavericks in the fourth quarter. The Lakers' fatal flaw is that they can't prevent the Mavericks' outside line, let them hit three points at will, fall behind 0-3 and the whole world is singing about themselves, today the Lakers seem to be under super high pressure psychologically, and they are in a state of collapse at any time.

The Mavericks scored four three-pointers in the first quarter, but the two sides were still evenly matched in this quarter. In order to redeem, Kobe Bryant attacked with all his strength and scored 13 points in a single quarter, but he missed two shots from the outside.

After Huang Yu hit a three-point shot, the Mavericks led 19-13, Fisher and Kobe Bryant each scored a ball, and the Lakers scored six points in a row to tie the score, but Huang Yu hit another three-point shot to help the Mavericks continue to lead. After the first quarter, the Mavericks had a slight lead over the Lakers by four points.

If the Mavericks' seven three-pointers in the first quarter were just a tentative, the second quarter began to explode in full force.

Terry, who came off the bench at the end of the first quarter, hit a three-point shot at the beginning of the second quarter, and in less than 5 minutes of this quarter, he had already shot three three-pointers, and Huang Yu also hit three-pointers immediately after the court, and the Mavericks quickly extended their advantage to 50-32. With 31.8 seconds left in the quarter, Huang Yu hit his fifth three-pointer of the quarter to give the Mavericks a 63-38 lead. Huang Yu hit six three-pointers in the first half, one of whom scored 20 points, while Terry also hit four three-pointers in the second quarter.

The Lakers were psychologically broken by the Mavericks' three-point rain, Kobe Bryant only scored 2 points on 1-of-5 shooting in the second quarter, and Bynum and Gasol also missed frequent baskets. At halftime, the Lakers trailed 39-63.

The Lakers hit a three-pointer from Artest at the start of the third quarter, the second time they hit a three-pointer in the game.

In the middle of the third quarter, Huang Yu hit two consecutive three-pointers in 33 seconds after the game, and the Mavericks led 71-46.

With 2:50 left in the quarter, Huang Yu made another long-range shot, hitting nine three-pointers, tying the NBA playoff record, and Terry also scored a three-pointer after that, giving the Mavericks a 29-point lead at 86-57. After three quarters, the Lakers trailed 62-86.

Not only did the Lakers become supporting roles for Huang Yu and Terry, but other Mavericks players also became supporting roles, Nowitzki only scored 4 points in the third quarter, while Kidd, Stevenson, Chandler and Marion missed a total of 5 shots in the third quarter and did not score a point.

Bryant scored 13 points in the first quarter and never found his groove since, shooting just 1-of-5 in the second quarter and missing all three in the third. With 7:54 left in the fourth quarter, he scored two points on a free throw, his first time in the second half. The Mavericks continued to extend their advantage, and with 4:59 left in the game, Terry scored a three-pointer to give them a 112-78 lead.

There are less than 5 minutes, the difference is 34 points, and the Mavericks can be said to have entered the stage of the Western Finals, but Carlisle did not relax, and after replacing Nowitzki Huang Yu and others, Terry still stayed on the court, but Terry was also in the walking stage on the court, after all, I haven't heard that the team can turn the tables after falling behind 30+ in the playoffs!

Balia, who performed well in this game instead of Kidd, was knocked down by an elbow from the somewhat annoyed Bynum when he hit the inside, and then Bynum turned around and left the court without looking back, although this elbow directly let Balia go off the court, but he got 22 points and 8 assists in this game, which can be said to perfectly make up for Kidd's lack of offensive firepower.
