70-64, the Lakers relied on a two-and-one from Kobe Bryant at the end of the third quarter, barely stretching the score to more than five points, and the two teams entered the break.

By the beginning of the fourth quarter, the bench players were playing hot.

The Lakers' bench performance was eye-catching in the first half, but in the fourth quarter, it was a bit imposing that the Magic could not be suppressed.

Waves of offensive frenzy are like rising waves, slapping on the Lakers' rocks, every steal, every block, every fast break, every hit and shot, will cause the audience to deaf cheers, Amway Arena, in this wave of magic counterattack, instantly turned into the devil's home field!

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Magic completed a wave of 8-2 small climaxes to tie the score.

Byron Scott immediately called a timeout, unhappy with the performance of the Lakers' bench players on the court.

The coach's roar made the Lakers players somewhat ashamed, and the pride of Zijin made them temporarily improve their combat effectiveness.

It's like a buff on a Lakers player, and the buff makes the game go back to see-sawing.

At the time of more than seven minutes, the Lakers began the normal rotation of players, Kobe, Roy Hibbert and other key players returned to the court, and the Magic, Oladipo and Aaron Gordon and others on this side tightened their belts and returned to the court.

Li Dong came on as a substitute with five minutes left in the fourth quarter.

Fournier, who was substituted off the court, smiled and ran to high-five Li Dong, although he was not very old, he looked like he had played in the NBA for a long time, and he was very clear about his position.

Victor Oladipo, Evan Fournier, Li Dong, Aaron Gordon and Jason Smith.

Russell, Kobe, Tzu Shiping, Randle, Hibbert.

The two teams have officially entered the moment of the decisive battle, the Lakers are still leading the Magic by 3 points 84-81, Kobe Bryant has scored 19 points, and he doesn't seem to have made much of a move.

Of course, it's just a look, in fact, Kobe Bryant has taken 16 shots and only hit 6 balls, and Oladipo's defense is very good.

As for Li Dong, as the counterpoint, the overall shooting rate of this game was not high, and only 6 of the 15 shots were hit, and only 40% of the shots were hit. It's just that his shooting percentage from outside the three-point line is okay, hitting 3 of 4 shots, and these 3 are still in a string, which is the key stage for the Magic to chase points in the third quarter.

After the game, the solemn atmosphere of the white-hot game surrounded Li Dong, the seriousness of the players and the fanaticism of the fans are in stark contrast, professional basketball players, there may be times when they are full of passion, but in most cases they will still keep their heads clear.

Oladipo took the ball with his back and singled Ci Shiping.

"It's not a good choice, even though Artest is old, but his strength is in the top five at the small forward position, and even if Victor is just as powerful, I don't think he can beat the beast." As soon as he saw the duel of strength, Barkley was excited, he was also famous for his strength and explosiveness, known as the Flying Pig.

There was no way for his comments to reach Oladipo's ears, and after the latter slapped his back twice, his face was squeezed into the color of pig liver, only to realize that he really couldn't squeeze it.......

Hold the ball, turn around, take the next step in your hips, and sway left and right.

Oladipo suddenly came over and dribbled the ball a few times, this time it was definitely unexpected by everyone, the big boss didn't want to prove anything, but he was stunned and inexplicably broke through Ci Shiping's defense.

Hold one hand high, and carry a tomahawk on your back!

"Wow, my God!" Barkley and Smith let out exclamations in unison, and Oladipo's top 10 shot was extremely impactful, especially the slam dunk that ended the attack at the end, which was full of power outlined by muscle lines.

Amway Arena immediately fell into a boil, and the fans celebrated with their crowns, and they couldn't hold the Coke cup in their hands excitedly, and spilled it all over the ground.

The Lakers didn't give the Magic time to celebrate, and Russell experienced immediately served the baseline shot!

"Want to attack quickly?" Li Dong reacted vigilantly from the excitement, and Kobe Bryant, who was holding the ball, advanced very quickly, and immediately approached near the center circle.

Oladipo also saw the Lakers' tactics, and beckoned Smith and others to return to defense without celebrating.

As soon as he ran, the scene was a little chaotic, Li Dong took the initiative to step forward, his heels floated to the ground, his arms outstretched, and stared at Kobe Bryant's eyes.

Direct alignment between old and new players!

Bryant's ball control was impeccable, and the cross-direction change in the run had his own unique style, Li Dong constantly adjusted his pace and breathing, like an eagle catching prey, patient and sharp-eyed.

The toxicity of the black mamba is known throughout the league, Kobe Bryant is over 37 years old and is already at the end of his career, and his physical functions in all aspects are no longer the top in the NBA.

"Bang!"

The inertia brought up by the running and the infusion power were incomparably huge, and Rao is Li Dong had outstanding strength, and he couldn't help but retreat from his pace.

"Oops!" Li Dong was taken aback, after this collision, he opened the empty goal, and there was obviously a gap in the defense.

Li Dong was ruthless, stretched out his palms as claws, and was ready to stop Kobe's breakthrough even if he paid for a foul.

At this time, Kobe Bryant suddenly stopped, his left hand controlling the ball, a dexterous swing, a flick of the wrist, a wrong step under the crotch, the basketball bounced off the floor and was exchanged for his right hand.

"What!" This emergency stop was too sudden, and before Li Dong could react, he glanced at the side out of the corner of his eye, only to see that he had already reached the three-point line!

Kobe Bryant adjusted in small steps, bent knees and jumped to shoot!

Li Dong's center of gravity finally adjusted, and immediately gritted his teeth and pounced, he secretly roared, stepped on the floor with one foot, and when his body jumped up, he was like a vigorous little cheetah, full of explosive power!

Bryant shot confidently, and he felt like he was shooting very well.

The basketball flew out of his fingertips, spun and flew out of the air.

At the same time, a huge black shadow appeared in front of his eyes, and Li Dong, who reacted quickly, jumped up decisively in the air, and the young man's right arm was stretched out in the air, and his arm span was amazing.

Li Dong stretched out his arm vigorously, eager to grow another ten centimeters.

Suddenly, there was a look of ecstasy on his face!

The outstretched fingertips lightly touched the familiar surface of the orange leather basketball, and the trajectory of the basketball immediately deviated, flying straight into the air.

Rising again, Li Dong kicked the floor and jumped continuously, and won the basketball in the air.

"How is that possible!" Kobe Bryant looked at the No. 1 young man in front of him dumbfounded, how could this guy's bullet speed be so fierce!

The pulling lineup line became an opportunity for Li Dong to win in the chaos at this moment, and after he dribbled through the half, the Lakers' Randle and others reacted in a daze and turned around and chased wildly.

Where was there still time, Li Dong easily flashed Russell and flew to the basket.

85 to 84!
