Whiteside didn't rush to shoot, and sure enough, Marion had already rushed in and slapped the rebound!

I have to say that Marion judged the shooting route accurately, and the position where Whiteside grabbed the rebound was the left edge of the three-second zone, and if he threw the shot, there was a chance that Marion would be fanned off!

Whiteside lifted the ball high and the Mavericks couldn't do anything about it. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Whiteside, who was looking for a pass from his teammate, saw a familiar figure rush into the interior and made the decision in an instant, throwing!

Whiteside didn't have this kind of close-range shooting ability, and he hit the iron decisively!

The ball hits the hoop and bounces high!

But!

Liu Ren's head appeared next to the basket, a pair of long hands grabbed the ball in the air, and reflexively made up for the dunk!

Mavericks pause!

"I knew it, I knew you could do it!" Whiteside excitedly stepped forward and bumped his chest with Liu Ren.

The fans at the scene could only sigh, the strength of the team was really not good, and the opponent attacked three times in one round, and the inside line was like no defense.

With 7 seconds left, the Lakers led the Mavericks by two points 127-125!

At this point, even D'Antoni is emphasizing defence.

However, it is only emphasized that it is really difficult for D'Antoni to set up a defensive tactic for him, and the defense he arranged is man-marking, and he has replaced McCollum, Nick Young, Wesley Johnson, Liu Ren, and Antetokounmpo.

This lineup is the best combination of the Lakers' mobile type, which can keep up with the opponent's outside line, and the opponent may not be able to impress Liu Ren in the low post if he wants to play Nowitzki inside.

Even if the Mavericks score two points and enter overtime, it will be beneficial to the Lakers, and in terms of physical strength, the Lakers' side has too much advantage.

Sure enough, the Mavericks didn't put a center on the court, Calderon, Ellis, Carter, Ellington, Nowitzki, and put a three-point team on the court, and the five of them shot more than 40% of the three-point shots.

The Lakers spread out their defense and focused on defending the opponent's three-point attempt.

Mavericks serve in the front court!

Ellington ran back, shook off Nick Young, received the ball and held it from beyond the three-point line to find a teammate.

Ellis and Carter are the key defenders on the Lakers' side, Liu Ren and Wesley Johnson are close to the two, Antetokounmpo is entangled with Nowitzki, and McCollum is equally active in hand-to-hand combat with Calderon.

As the clock ticked by, Carter had to run out and catch the ball hand-to-hand.

There were only three seconds left when Carter got the ball!

There is no time to hesitate!

Carter took two steps forward and shot from the three-point line more than a meter away......

"Veterans don't die, just wait to wither!" 》

On January 8, 2014, after the game between the Lakers and the Mavericks, the headline on the NBA's official website became this!

In the last second of the game, Carter hit a three-point whistle to beat the Lakers!

The Mavericks narrowly defeated the Lakers 128-127, ending the Lakers' seven-game winning streak!

Carter scored 41 points on 18-of-27 shooting and Nowitzki scored 40 points on 14-of-25 shooting, and the two combined for 81 points, as if paying tribute to the guy who was still doing rehab in Los Angeles and defeated the Lakers without that guy by the way.

The two veterans performed amazingly in this game, and set a new record for teammates to score 40 points in the same game! And it's the first duo in three years to score 40 points in the same game with teammates on the same team!

The last time two players on the same team scored 40 points in the same game was in 2011 when James and Wade had just been together!

James and Wade were both in the top five of the league at the time, while Carter and Nowitzki were both 36 years old!

It can only be said that veterans will not die because of time, but will just slowly wither......

The Lakers have a lot of reasons to explain this game, such as several important player injuries, back-to-backs, etc.

But there is only one real reason, and that is that they don't have opponents who play well.

Anyway, the winning side always plays better!

After the game, Liu Ren took the initiative to find Carter.

"Vince, you don't mind calling you that, do you? Congratulations, you guys played better than us. Liu Ren was not dissatisfied with the loss, but sent congratulations from the bottom of his heart.

"Haha, our group of old men is just going to teach you young people that our old bones can still fight." Carter was as heroic as ever.

After congratulating him, Liu Ren said his real purpose this time: "Vince, are you interested in playing in our team next season?" I think we could have won the title together and if we had an experienced veteran like you on the bench, it wouldn't have happened today. ”

Carter was silent for a moment after listening to Liu Ren's words, and then smiled: "Everything is possible, isn't it?" We'll talk about it in the summer. ”

"OK, I'll go back to the hotel first," Liu Ren's expression was a little helpless: "You have to be mentally prepared when you come to our team next season, there are more than ten away games in January every year, it's really a hell." ”

"Your next opponent is the Rockets? Wow, it looks like we don't have a game the day after tomorrow, so I'm going to take a good look at this show. Carter smirked.

Why did Carter have such a tone?

It's very simple, both of the top four teams in the West, the Lakers and the Rockets, two teams that are entangled because of Howard, are naturally the focus of attention of all fans!

Liu Ren really wants Carter to come to the Lakers, and he knows that Carter will be the representative of the old and strong among the veterans in the next two years, with good strength and a low salary, which is very suitable for supplementing the team's second team.

Being able to recruit an experienced veteran is a great benefit for the Lakers' young team!

And for such a veteran, they care about face very much, and if you want to invite them to join, you must take the initiative to go, instead of waiting for the other party to hug your thighs.

Battier was a good example back then, Battier had been waiting for Kobe to call and invite him to join, but Kobe didn't expect this at all, and just gave Kupchak a suggestion, which made Battier feel that he was not respected by Kobe.

Later, James called Battier, who originally regarded the Lakers as his first target, chose the more sincere Hell's Heat, and then Battier played an important role in the Heat's two consecutive championships.

Judging from the fact that Carter did not take the initiative to go to the Warriors, Spurs and other teams to hug his thighs later from Liu Ren's understanding, Carter is a veteran with a lot of self-esteem like Battier, and if you want to attract this veteran to come, money is not the most important thing, the important thing is to show your respect!

For Liu Ren, the history that he already knows in the future is slowly beginning to change, and there are fewer and fewer treasures that can be found, even if it has passed the period of relying on foresight to find helpers, and in the future, he wants to make his team stronger, relying on the attractiveness of the team's lineup and his own charm to attract stars, and his mentality has begun to gradually change.
