"The referee actually blew a defensive foul! This means that Lamar. Odom is going to the free throw line, and three free throws! "Even Mike. Brin, the experienced commentator, spread his hands in surprise, and he saw a lot of ultra-long-range shots before halftime. But in the half, the shooting made a foul, Mike. It's the first time Brin has encountered it.

In the stands, cheers and boos mingled. The Lakers fans cheered, and the Mavericks fans naturally threw the dirtiest words they could think of at the referees.

The referee ignored the boos from the fans and motioned for Odom to step up to the line and take a penalty. He himself, on the other hand, was ready to go to the basket and pick up the basketball on the ground.

Just as the referee walked to the basket, a dark shadow suddenly stood in front of him. Fortunately, the referee reacted in time, so he didn't collide.

The referee looked up, and Yiyang was staring at him.

"That was clearly an offensive foul just now!" Yiyang didn't yell, but his tone was a little cold. But this kind of cold makes people feel chills down their spine.

"Please give way!" The referee doesn't want to reason with Yiyang, and if a superstar like Kobe or James comes to reason with him, he may still say a few words to the other party. But a rookie? He really didn't want to waste time with a rookie.

"I said, 'Don't you see that I'm standing still?' That's a man with a ball! Yiyang's voice became louder, and people usually think that the taciturn Yiyang has no temper, and that's just because they haven't seen Yiyang lose his temper. If Yiyang didn't have a temper, then he wouldn't have been expelled from the school team for beating his teammates in high school.

"I repeat, please give way!" Although the height is only as high as Yiyang's chin, the referee is not weak in momentum.

"I ask you to take a look at the replay ......" This time, before Yiyang finished speaking, he was suddenly dragged backwards by someone.

It was Nowitzki, who saw that Yiyang was theorizing with the referee, so he hurriedly rushed up to separate the two.

The referee raised his hand and was about to make a "T" to the technical table, but was stopped by Nowitzki.

"Hey, this doesn't make a technical foul! You've already given me one, there's no need to give him one too. Nowitzki pressed the referee's hand and refused to let go for a long time.

Nowitzki has been working hard in the league for so many years and has always had a good reputation. The referee didn't want to tear up his face with Dirk over this, so he nodded slightly.

"I'll give you a face, Dirk. But if he has another time, I promise, I will punish him severely! With that, the referee picked up the basketball and motioned for Odom to come over and make a free throw.

Yiyang on the side was still a little indignant, but Nowitzki immediately came over and patted him on the shoulder.

"That's the NBA, and it's not necessarily necessarily fair. Hey, relax, let's just chase it back in the second half. ”

After listening to Nowitzki's words, Yiyang was willing to stand in the designated position. Even if he is old on the court, Yiyang is still a young man......

Odom didn't waste the referee's gift, hitting all three shots from the free-throw line. The second-place Sixth Man of the Year guy helped the Lakers extend their lead in the final moments.

"53-44, because of Odom's three free throws in the final moments, the Dallas Mavericks are already nine points behind the defending champion Lakers after halftime! Kevin, what do you think of that defensive foul in the final minute? ”

"It was a blow-up ball but the referee wasn't going to show mercy. In the second quarter of the game, the physical contact between the two sides became more and more frequent, and the movements became more and more large. I think the referee also wants to tell all the players in this way not to overdo it. He did it just to control the game. ”

Mike. Brin and Kevin. Haalan's discussion drew to a close to the matchup between the two sides in the first half.

With a nine-point difference, just one point apart, the Lakers could stretch the gap to double digits.

Back in the locker room, the Lakers players were very excited. They want the second half to start quickly, and then they can widen the gap in one fell swoop.

In the home dressing room, the mood of the players was not so high.

Kobe Bryant was unstoppable on the court today, Nowitzki ate a technical foul, and Yiyang was exploited by Odom in the final moments. This series of things makes everyone feel a little aggrieved.

Carlisle also looked at a loss, pacing back and forth in the dressing room. Look at this, look at that, but don't say anything for a long time.

The players all lowered their heads, and their morale was simply reduced to the extreme.

"I say......" Carlisle, who had been pacing back and forth for a long time, finally spoke, and he stopped to look at the players, who looked up at him. Why are you so depressed, in fact, the situation has become like this, not because we have made a mistake, but because the opponent's attack is too smooth, and the luck is indeed good......"

"Hey guys, we're aiming for the championship! From Game 1 of the playoffs, no one was looking down on us! Because everyone thinks that we will drop the chain at a critical moment, and everyone thinks that we can't fight a tough battle! Now, we're only 9 points behind, 9 points! The team that wants to win the championship will not be discouraged because it is 9 points behind! If that's the case, then we can't succeed in the rest of our lives! If that's the case, then what the media say is true! Cheer up, let's start with defense in the second half, don't give the Lakers an open shot opportunity! Hold on! Get through the hardest time, and we'll be able to turn the game around! ”

Carlisle had just wondered why the Mavericks had a great regular season record every year, and when it came to the playoffs, they were always eliminated. It even once became the background board for the Warriors to stage the Black Eight Miracle.

Is it because the players are not strong enough, or the overall tactics of the team are not good

No, the Mavericks' players are good enough and their tactics can be executed.

What the Mavericks lack is a spirit! The kind of hard-line attitude of never giving up, daring to say "no" to strong enemies, daring to challenge all authority, and defying everything. To put it bluntly, what the Mavericks lack is a "champion heart".

"Now the bastards from Los Angeles must be wondering how big the margin is going to be in the second half! Go on the pitch and use your inseparable defense to tell them not to take the victory away from here! Carlisle flicked his fist, and the oppressive atmosphere in the locker room seemed to be broken by Carlisle.

"The boss is right! We've got half a game to go! They can lead us by nine points at half-time, why can't we!? All cheer up, the second half of the ball, let the Los Angeles people see our strength! Didn't we kill them twice in the regular season!? Let's work together, we can definitely do it! Nowitzki suddenly stood up, and with the encouragement of the star of the house, the hearts of the others were completely boiling.

Yiyang, who was aggrieved at the end of the first half, was naturally completely ignited by the remarks of Carlisle and Nowitzki. He couldn't help but clench his fists and scream with everyone.

The staff outside the tunnel didn't know what was going on, because the shouts coming from the doomed locker room seemed louder than from the pitch......

After the start of the second half, the Lakers really attacked fiercely. As soon as he got on the court, Bynum blocked Chandler's layup, which was avenged by the "King of Fighters" for blocking the dunk in the first half of the game.

After that, Bryant chased down and hit a three-point shot. Suddenly, the margin on the court became 12 points, and all the Mavericks fans held their heads in their hands in frustration.

"Do you think what you said at halftime would be useful?" On the bench, Stotts was already a little restless.

"I trust them, man. It doesn't matter, it's still a long time coming. With that, Carlisle got up from the bench again and stood on the sidelines.

Then, Yiyang used his speed on the right side of the basket to force Fischer and made a stop-and-go jump shot. But his mid-range shooting is still iron, and Yiyang has completely gotten rid of Fischer in this ball, but he didn't expect Kobe Bryant to make up for the defense in time.

After Yiyang's throw, Kobe Bryant assisted Gasol on the offensive end to dunk with both hands. With a 14-point difference, the pace of the game seems to have been completely controlled by the Lakers.

"The Mavericks seem to have reappeared yesterday again, their habitual breakdown in the playoffs, allowing the Lakers to quickly pull the score away. If this continues, it is not surprising that the Lakers have extended the margin to 20 points. Could it be that the Dallas Mavericks are really going to be defeated? "Seeing Gasol's dunk, Mike. Brin shook his head. He had expected the Mavericks to fight back in the third quarter, but for now, it doesn't seem to have changed at all.

"Hey! Slow down and don't be impatient! Our offense is too purposeful, next time we will conduct a few more times and tear apart their defenses! Nowitzki picked up the basketball from under the basket and yelled at everyone.

Seeing this scene, Carlisle's hanging heart was put down. If it had been past seasons, the Mavericks could have collapsed to the bottom. But today, Carlisle could see that his team did not collapse!

"Steady, steady! We still have time, hold on! Yiyang possessed the ball past half court, and Carlisle's big voice shouted again.

Yiyang doesn't want to lose, and everyone on the field doesn't want to lose. Therefore, they are not afraid of the 14-point difference, and they are not afraid of Kobe Bryant, who has played in a crazy state. At the moment, they just want to knock their opponents to the ground!

Yiyang controlled the ball outside the three-point line, did not hesitate, and immediately hoisted the ball into the inside.

Gasol immediately clung to Dirk, and at the same time, Bynum changed his position and would go up to the bag at any moment.

Dirk didn't rush to go it alone after receiving the ball, but patiently passed the ball back to Stevenson.

Even though Stevenson's three-point shooting wasn't accurate, Bryant still stuck tight and didn't give the Mavericks any chance to score.

Seeing this, Stevenson passed the ball to Yiyang, who was standing at the top of the arc outside the three-point line, and Yiyang reorganized the offense.

Yiyang looked at the timer on the rebound and then looked at the Lakers' defense. I have to admit that the defending champion's defense is really leaky. You can't just rely on passing the ball to find gaps.

So Yiyang glanced at Nowitzki, hoisted the ball into the penalty area again, and Yiyang ran immediately after passing the ball!

Everyone thought that Yiyang's running was to find an open space to score, but in fact, Yiyang was to do a no-ball block for his teammates.

Seeing Marion suddenly activate, the beast Artest immediately moved sideways. But as soon as they walked together, they collided with Yiyang.

Fischer didn't expect that a defender in Yiyang would actually do an off-ball block for his teammates, so the change of defense was not timely.

Marion ran to the front of the basket and got a fleeting opportunity. Nowitzki's pass arrived just in time, and Marion "pushed" the basketball out with a weird pose. Fischer's distractions seemed so powerless.

Everyone was staring at the basketball, and all the Mavericks fans were expecting the basketball to crash into the net.

The basketball bounced to the neck of the basket, and Bynum and Chandler were both leaping high and ready to fight for the rebound.

However, after the basketball fell again, it was impartial and just fell into the net!

"Three-point hit! The Mavericks finally scored, although they were 14 points behind, but we saw that the Mavericks played with unusual patience just now, and they were not impatient! A beautiful fit, let's see, if the Dallas Mavericks will keep this momentum going! ”

On the field, Marion and Yiyang gave a light high-five. After that, they all threw themselves wholeheartedly into the defense.

"I think today, the Mavericks players refused to break down!" Looking at the Mavericks' serious attitude, Mike. Brin joked with a laugh.
