Yiyang's two consecutive magical passes, although they have not yet helped the team equalize, there is no doubt that in terms of momentum, the Mavericks have broken the deadlock.

This is the case in Tyson. Nowhere is this more evident than in Chandler.

Because of Yiyang's two passes, Chandler was the biggest beneficiary. The two easy dunk scores of the "King of Fighters" were all due to Yiyang's passing.

And after two dunks on the offensive end, Chandler's enthusiasm on the defensive end was fully mobilized.

This time the Lakers attacked, and Bryant tried several times to break through Stevenson, but he didn't get a chance.

There was no way, for the sake of safety, Kobe Bryant still passed the ball to Gasol, and then ran his own position, allowing Gasol to respond to the attack in the high post.

When Bryant reached the bottom right corner, Gasol immediately passed. Just when people thought Kobe would attack on his own, Bynum suddenly leaned on Chandler to take the position and raised his arms.

Bryant didn't hesitate to make Bynum more and more central, which is what the Lakers are trying to do right now. As "Little Shark's" dominance continued to climb, the ball hit him more and more.

Bynum was solid down the set and Chandler couldn't get him out of the area. And if you push too hard, you are likely to get into foul trouble again.

Therefore, Bynum was not disturbed too much, and his big hand with five fingers open was like a suction cup, steadily "sucking" the basketball into his hand.

"Gasol pulled up to the top, the Lakers pulled the basket empty, Bynum wants to single!"

Bynum felt Chandler's defense with his back, and Chandler was very tough and seemed to be defending on top. What's the best way to deal with top defense? There is no doubt that it is to turn around and break through!

Thinking of this, Bynum did not hesitate, slapped the basketball to the ground, and then turned around.

However, things didn't go the way Bynum had expected. After he managed to turn around, Chandler didn't lose his position because his center of gravity was all forward. Because Chandler was not a top defense at all, he just tied up very steadily, so that Bynum could not shake it.

After Bynum turned, he was greeted not by the open basket, but by Chandler's tough pressing!

But it has come to this point, and there is no turning back. Without getting rid of Chandler's defense, Bynum forced a jump to dunk.

Perhaps, the clash with Okafor in the last round made Bynum a little carried away. But not everyone in this league is Okafor. Not all teams are as vulnerable on the inside as the Hornets.

Bynum had just lifted the basketball when a huge sense of pressure came from the side.

Chandler raised his arm and slammed it. Impartially, just slapped the basketball in Bynum's hand!

"Block the dunk! Bynum's offensive options weren't good, and he paid the price for it! ”

The basketball was fanned, and Yiyang jumped high to take control of the basketball before it could go out of bounds.

A block that gave the court an opportunity to switch offense. How could Yiyang waste this kind of opportunity?

The number one defender was immediately activated and he seemed to be able to raise his pace to the top from the first step.

Generally speaking, a player's speed increases gradually. But Yiyang is different, from the very beginning, he can adjust the speed to the fastest.

"Whoosh!" A whirlwind blows on the basketball court, and the Lakers players try to catch up. After Yiyang stepped into the three-point line, Artest, who bit the hardest, stretched out his hand and was ready to grab Yiyang's jersey.

However, Artest pulled nothing. He only pulled a ball of air, this guy, he can't commit a foul if he wants to!

Yiyang picked it lightly, and the basketball grazed the rebound and fell into the net. Although Yiyang didn't end the offense with a dunk in the end, his extremely fast run through the whole court was enough to make the fans addicted.

"It's so fast, Artest doesn't have a chance to foul if he wants to. One point, and the Mavericks instantly narrowed the gap to one point. They defended well and allowed themselves to attack. And Yi's excellent play allowed the Mavericks to firmly grasp these opportunities. As the game gets more and more intense, what do you think both sides need to pay attention to next? ”

"For the Lakers, they have to be a little tighter defensively. Because as long as you give him a little space, he can pass the ball to you! ”

In the following game, the two sides played inextricably, and you went back and forth. The Mavericks scored a goal here, and the Lakers were able to return one right away.

Kobe Bryant managed to pull the gap away a bit, and the Mavericks always chased it back quickly.

Kobe's injured ankle seemed to be recovering well, and in the first quarter of the game, the "Black Mamba" scored 10 points like chopping melons and vegetables. However, the Mavericks, who bloomed more, still ended the first quarter of the game with a two-point lead at 25-23.

"At the beginning of the game, when Kobe Bryant scored seven points in a row, I thought the Mavericks were going to finish playing. Soon, though, they adjusted. Look, now the leading side has turned into a calf instead. The key player in the first quarter of the Lakers' game was undoubtedly Kobe Bryant, so who do you think were the key players in the first quarter of the Mavericks' game? "The work of the narrators is the most difficult during the breaks. Because they have to continue to find topics for fans without a game footage, so that fans don't switch tables because they get bored.

Dirk scored six points in the first quarter, the most of any Mavericks team. But when it comes to key players, I'm still going to choose the same. Without his passing, the Mavericks probably wouldn't have bounced back so quickly. And the data of 4 points and 3 assists in a single quarter is definitely not bad. As the game progresses, Coach Carlisle will certainly field a two-point guard formation. When the time comes, we will be able to feast our eyes on Kobe. Kevin. Harlan rubbed his hands, Carlisle, Carlisle, hurry up and put out what the fans want!

"Ron, when did your defense get so clean! How? Have you turned into a docile lamb!? During the break, the first thing Zen Master Jackson emphasized was defense.

Don't think that Artest doesn't like a guy who plays dirty, and if he doesn't, how can this kind of person survive in the league? Their dirtiness is exactly what the managers need.

"Fortify your defense! The Mavericks can't be allowed to score easily anymore. Switch defenses for me to be more decisive, and besides, try my best to block the rookie's passing lane and force him to make mistakes! Forget your goddamn identity as the defending champions, here, only those who do their best can win! Jackson finished what he had to say in a few words, and then the white-haired old man left the crowd and sat back in his place.

The "Zen master" is like that, he never says a word of nonsense again. But now the intermission is not over yet, so the person in charge of speaking has become Kobe.

"You have all heard what the old man said, and you have become fierce and increased your physical confrontation. The Mavericks' primary offensive means is the jump shot, and as long as we press the whole time, they will have a hard time getting shots. Come on, we can do it! ”

"Defend! We did a good job defending in the first quarter, and then I want you to keep it up. Carlisle, on the other hand, has also focused on defence. If you want to win in the playoffs, defense is the safest way.

Before the start of the second quarter, Carlisle looked at Yiyang and then at Kidd. Kidd was in good shape today, and he sorted out the team's offense well during the time when he came on as a substitute. But if you let Yiyang face Kobe Bryant now......

Carlisle shook his head, the dual point guard formation, let's not be busy putting it up first.

After the start of the second quarter, the performances of both teams did not disappoint the fans. Both sides continued their good form in the first quarter, and the score was difficult to pull away for a while.

In the eighth minute and 40 seconds of the second quarter of the game, Yiyang deceived Fischer with a fake facsimile sudden action, changed direction and broke through, and went straight to the penalty area.

At this point, Gasol was nailed to the top by Nowitzki. Chandler stuck Bynum behind him and didn't let him go up to make up for it.

It seems that this ball is inevitable.

However, just when Yiyang jumped and was about to go to the basket. Artest, the villain in the history of the NBA league, suddenly crashed into Yiyang like a pickup truck. Yiyang was knocked to the ground by this collision, and the basketball naturally got out of his hand directly.

"Oh!" The whole stadium let out an exclamation, Artest This is simply a malicious foul!

However, the referee made an ordinary defensive foul on the technical table! This move immediately made the fans in the stands feel very dissatisfied and booed.

"Are you sure? Or do you simply not understand the rules of basketball!? Carlisle yelled at the referee with open arms on the court, and if Stotts hadn't dissuaded him in time, Carlisle might have swallowed a technical foul.

Artest walked away with an innocent face, completely ignoring Yiyang, who was knocked to the ground by himself. He acted as if nothing had happened.

"It's alright!" Nowitzki was the first to run up to Yiyang and ask about Yiyang's condition.

"It's okay, but,, it hurts......" Grabbing Nowitzki and Chandler's forearms, Yiyang got back to his feet.

I don't know if it's because he fell too hard just now, Yiyang missed a shot from the free throw line and only scored one point for the Mavericks. Turning Yiyang's inevitable two points into one point, Artest's deliberate foul can be said to be worth the money.

Nowitzki turned his head to look at the innocent-looking villain, what he hated most was who attacked Yiyang, a newcomer. After all, this is bullying his little brother in his own territory, isn't that not taking himself seriously? As a result, the Germans, who have always been docile, also started to think crookedly at this moment.

Two minutes later, the score was still scorching. But the Lakers have relied on Kobe's personal play to take a 5-point lead.

This time, Bryant bravely broke into the inside line of the strong man Rulin, causing damage.

Kobe Bryant went online, but Nowitzki's attention wasn't on Kobe at all. Because at this time, Artest was standing next to Nowitzki, ready to fight for the rebound that might appear after the free throw.

In the first free throw, Kobe Bryant hit it steadily. The second penalty, I don't know if God read Nowitzki's heart, the basketball really slipped out after a lap in the frame.

Nowitzki reacted instantly, stretching his long arm for the defensive rebound. Artest was close behind the German and also tried to make a tackle.

As a result, Nowitzki twisted his waist with the ball in both hands, looking like he was trying to protect the ball. But in reality, Nowitzki's elbow quietly smashed into Artest's nose.

Unexpectedly, Artest suddenly fell to the ground exaggeratedly and covered his face with his hands. Originally, the referee didn't see anything, but when Artest did this, the referee immediately applied to go to the technical station to watch the replay.

"Shit!" Nowitz basically thought that as a tough guy, Artest would endure this alone. However, that guy was just a cunning fox.

In fact, it wasn't Artest who deliberately wanted to act, because Dirk's elbow just now was really too "energetic". Artest felt that if he didn't get some back for himself, he would suffer too much.

Through the video replay, the referee clearly saw the footage of Nowitzki's elbow on Artest. As a result, Nowitzki was given a technical foul and the Lakers had to make free throws!

"Fuck, now you see the foul again? Then why couldn't you see just now? "Carlisle now put his suit off and go on the pitch to fix the damn referee. Nowitzki was also pleading to the referee that he had no intention, but the referee ignored him.

In this way, Artest's free throw widened the gap to 6 points. After that, the Lakers had another chance to throw a throw-in.

"Dirk!" Carlisle shouted into the arena.

Nowitzki turned his head and found Carlisle pressing down hard with both hands. It's a reminder to yourself, calm down!

But the game is at this point, and it's not easy to calm down. In the following matches, the physical contact between the two sides became more frequent and more ferocious. Jackson's arrangement worked, but Carlisle didn't want to see his players get bogged down in hand-to-hand combat.

During this period, Yiyang didn't know how many dark elbows he had eaten, and of course, he didn't do much to others.

The increase in the number of fouls has greatly reduced the flow of the game. At the same time, it also made the behavior of the fans on both sides in the stands more and more intense. Stadium security had to set up a cordon between fans on both sides in case something unusual happened.

The entire second quarter was spent in the process of the two teams secretly competing with each other. Kobe Bryant went on a killing spree and scored like crazy, leaving the Mavericks passive again.

Three seconds before the end of the game, the score had become 50-44, and with Kobe's efforts, the Lakers had a six-point lead.

In the last three seconds, the Lakers served the baseline ball. As a rule, the score of the half-time match should not be changing.

However, a dramatic scene emerged. With only three seconds on the clock, Odom started shooting as soon as he passed halftime.

But Odom, who was angry, did not shoot properly, but hit Yiyang before shooting the ball.

Odom himself was not convinced that he lost to a Chinese rookie in the competition for the best sixth man, and the two sides were very angry today, so Odom made this decision.

Yiyang was confused, and before he could react to what was happening, he was knocked to the ground by Odom. The referee's whistle blew, and everyone thought the referee was going to blow Odom for an offensive foul.

However, when the referee gestured to the technical table, the entire U.S. Route Center arena was overturned with boos.

The referee awarded Yiyang a defensive foul, Odom, who will stand on the free throw line and execute three free throws.

A random shot from midcourt resulted in three free throws, and Odom jumped to his feet in an instant with excitement.

And Yiyang, this taciturn guy, with a fierce gaze, forced the referee......
