Kidd carefully guarded the ball, with only 50 seconds left in the game, and the Mavericks were still two points behind, so the tension didn't allow him to make a mistake. The Mavericks have been put on the strongest lineup, and Wright has been replaced by Terry.

In this game, Terry felt hot, shooting 3 of 4 three-pointers, and the threat of the Mavericks to the Lakers on the three-point line suddenly increased after Terry came on the court. At this point in the game, the slightest mistake made by either side can be fatal for them.

After some weighing, Kidd handed the ball to Nowitzki, the team's most consistent scorer, and the German tank scored 27 points in this game, and it seemed that he completely suppressed Gasol, who played average today, and the statistics of 14 points and 8 rebounds were indeed lost to Nowitzki.

Nowitzki tried to squeeze out a bit of space to give himself a comfortable shot, but Gasol held it up. Although he can't compare to the other party when it comes to shooting breakthroughs, Gasol really doesn't take Nowitzki seriously when it comes to interior confrontation.

Nowitzki has never been a master of hand-to-hand combat with his muscles, and just when Gasol thought he was defending against Nowitzki, the latter suddenly turned around coldly. The Germans were ready to attack from the baseline, and Gasol quickly clung to him, trying to squeeze him out of the field.

Nowitzki's tenacity was unexpected, and although Gasol was firmly blocked from view, he masterfully seized the opportunity, holding the ball under Gasol's arm with one hand, and slotting the ball into a light backhand layup before being squeezed out of the baseline, and the Mavericks leveled the score again.

Nowitzki's goal injected a shot of strength into the Mavericks, if the goal was not scored, their morale would naturally be seriously bruised, but the king did not disappoint his teammates at a critical time, and the score equalized again to bring hope to the Mavericks.

Nowitzki's performance at critical times in previous seasons has also been criticized, and now, Novitzki's performance is getting better and better.

With 41 seconds left, this time for the Lakers offense, the Cowboys are unprecedentedly aggressive in their defense, inspired by the boss, and if they succeed in defending the ball, the situation will be on their side again.

The key ball of the Lakers was firmly held by Kobe, and the competitive Kobe Bryant would never allow the decision of the game to be left in the hands of others. Especially with Nowitzki's tough performance just now, Kobe Bryant decided to return the blow.

A forward Kobe instantly accelerated, Howard firmly blocked Kobe's offensive path, for Kobe, it was very risky for Kobe to force a shot in front of Howard, who had an advantage in height and arm span, so he chose the safest turn and jump shot.

A large turn with great difficulty, Kobe Bryant simply turned his center of gravity back. Howard didn't dare to foul after all, in his opinion, a foul on Kobe Bryant is no different from giving away points, not to mention that if he is self-defeating, he will become a sinner if he takes a 2 plus 1.

scored, Kobe Bryant used his best play to regain the advantage again, and then as long as he defended well, the Lakers would win.

With 27 seconds left before the end of the game, the pressure shifted to the Mavericks once again, and Nowitzki faced another test. But no one thought that the Mavericks' score would be so simple and so deadly at the same time.

The Lakers' pick-and-roll defense has always been an issue, and this one is no exception. Nowitzki received the ball outside the three-point line, and the confident King Kidd was moving along the three-point line, the old demon Kidd had already firmly stood in position, and his strong body had always been his reliance, and Gasol was distanced by Nowitzki because of Kidd's blocking.

The principle of an inch long and an inch strong is also applicable on the basketball court, and the king completely ignores the old fish in front of him, and his height of 7 feet makes the old fish powerless, even if the latter has tried his best to jump up and try to interfere.

Swish! Captain delivered a fatal blow to the Lakers from beyond the three-point line, and the Mavericks took a one-point lead. With just 12 seconds to go, the Mavericks' bench was filled with joy and smiles, and they were just one defense away from winning the game.

The lore sounds like a beautiful thing, but when it comes to having to rely on lore to win, people don't feel so good. Winning and losing is a failure, and the brutality of competitive sports is reflected in this moment.

Kobe Bryant's face was full of solemnity, although he had a lot of lore experiences, but these experiences were not enough to make him relaxed, and the pressure brought to the players by lore was unimaginable.

The whole team worked hard for 48 minutes, but in the end they put all the victory and defeat on one person, if they were thrown, they were naturally happy, but if they didn't throw, the disappointed eyes of their teammates alone were enough to make people feel ashamed, not to mention the media's accountability. This is especially true for the highly competitive Kobe, but as the leader of the team, he has to carry this burden.

The old monk called a timeout to arrange tactics, there was nothing complicated, the other players actively ran to create opportunities for Kobe Bryant to receive the ball, and then opened up the space, and the last blow was the strength and character of the core players.

The Lakers have replaced the best shooters, Gasol, Odom, Li Chen, Kobe, Fisher, every point has good shooting ability, and the Lakers are only one or two points away from victory.

Li Chen ran hard, although everyone knew that the Lakers' ball would definitely be handed over to Kobe, but the Mavericks couldn't do their best to wrap Kobe Bryant regardless of the existence of others, otherwise the game would not have to be played, and the cowboys could only do their best to prevent Kobe from receiving the ball comfortably.

Unlike the Lakers, all the players on the Mavericks court have been replaced by the five most defensive players on their side, Diop, Nowitzki, Howard, Kidd, and Terry.

The two teams are ready to go, and the outcome of the game depends on Kobe's offense.

The tension of the great god disappeared instantly after receiving the ball, and his eyes were fixed on Howard's movements, if the opponent showed a little flaw, then he would definitely attack mercilessly.

I have to say that Howard's defensive strength is indeed very strong, with excellent physical fitness, good height, strength and speed, and it is not wise for Kobe to use his physical fitness to beat opponents. Although the boss scored close to 30 points in this game, the shooting percentage of 11 of 24 shots was not high, and Howard's defense still caused some trouble for Kobe Bryant to a certain extent.

Firmly controlling the time, when the timer jumped to 6 seconds, Kobe Bryant instantly moved, bent his knees sideways, he still chose to break through, only breakthroughs can create better scoring opportunities.

Although Howard has failed defensively many times, he has also learned some lessons, blocking Kobe's breakthrough route while always being wary of other moves by the opponent. Sure enough, as he expected, seeing that the forward path was blocked, Kobe Bryant chose a rare jump step, followed by a step-back jumper, and the shooting posture was as stable as at the beginning.

If nothing else, Bryant's instincts told him that the goal was going to be scored.

Although the defense against Kobe Bryant was not very successful throughout the game, Howard never lost confidence. At the same time as Kobe Bryant's shot, Howard had already reacted, jumping as hard as he could, his arms were stretched to the straightest at the same time, and his palms were fully extended, and he tried to interfere with Kobe's ball.

However, because of Kobe's backward movement, it is unlikely that Howard would want to interfere with the ball, but even if there is only a one percent chance, the professionalism of the player makes Howard determined to give his best.

Yikes! Kobe Bryant and Howard heard a small voice at the same time, and their expressions changed instantly, the difference was that the former was startled, and the latter was a hint of joy.

Heaven and hell, Howard feels that the Lakers at this time have been kicked into hell by him. Compared with the thrilling lore, a safe ban can also make people excited.

"Rebound"! Kobe Bryant did his best to shout this sentence out, but he didn't even expect much from himself, he seemed to be able to see the disappointed eyes of his teammates and fans, which he had seen many times, and although the reasons were different, the results did not make him feel good.

Because of his excellent shooting skills, Li Chen easily judged from the arc of the ball that it would not score, and his strength in offensive rebounds this season was also due to foresight.

Although physical fitness is average, the more critical the time on the basketball court, the more important the reaction time, and many times the reason for making history is because some people are more aware of what they need to do than others.

The chaos on the court gave Li Chen a great opportunity, just when everyone watched the basketball fly, Li Chen quickly rushed into the inside, stepped into the free throw line and jumped immediately, he bet on the team's win or loss, and only relied on his intuition.

"Bang"! The basketball bounced off the front of the basket due to Howard's interference.

The first reaction of the second center in the West under the basket was that his team had won, and he was already satisfied with the unexpected double-double in this game.

"How can we celebrate later, after all, we defeated the Lakers, the No. 1 in the West." Given that the two teams are likely to meet in the playoffs, the Mavericks are more focused on this game against the Lakers than other games. Every win boosts your team's confidence in the playoffs.

The basketball bounced a little fast, flashing straight in front of Dampier and the second center couldn't intercept it.

"Suffer", how rich the experience of the old Kidd, although there are no surprises if the team will win, but there is never a shortage of accidents in the NBA arena, which can be seen from the official slogan of the NBA.

“where－amazing－happens”！ Sports competitions are often more exciting because of the endless accidents.

Li Chen's intuition gave the Lakers a last chance, the basketball bounced straight at him, but the posture was a little awkward, Li Chen, who was already in the air, could not adjust his posture after receiving the ball and then throw the ball out, and the game time did not allow him to make a move of this level.

Very decisively, at the moment when the basketball flew towards him, Li Chen took a common posture in a volleyball game and slapped the flying basketball with one palm.

The final whistle has sounded, but the basketball is flying back to the basket.

After smashing the rebound, the basketball rebounded and hit the front of the basket, it is estimated that Li Chen's shot power is too great, or the power of his shooting is too great, the basketball naughtily turns in a circle on the basket, everyone stares at the spinning basketball, and winning or losing depends on this moment.

"Win", Kobe Bryant gave his judgment without waiting for the basketball to enter the frame, and the loneliness on Kidd's face also validated his opinion, and decades of experience allowed them to see through the goal or not before others.

Sure enough, with the bated breath of the fans, the basketball finally rolled into the hoop. The Mavericks stubbornly withstood the Lakers' attacks throughout the game, and there was even a moment when they had the game in their hands. But in the end, they were defeated by Li Chen's dramatic goal.

Kobe Bryant rushed to Li Chen's side and put his arms around his neck, "Hey, boy, well done!" ”

The party was a little stunned, he completed a lore, once he could only be crazy in front of the TV, but now he actually completed one by himself, the huge surprise made Li Chen ecstatic.

And after seeing the cheers of the fans and the disappointment and loneliness of the calf, a sense of accomplishment unique to a killer arose in Li Chen's heart, and when the opponent was the most arrogant, it was he who slashed the calf in the neck and personally sent the calf to the train to hell.

Li Chen found that he liked this bloodthirsty feeling.

The key ball consciousness is as Li Chen expected before, after throwing the lore, the original data of 63 instantly rose by 5 points to 68, although the key ball awareness is invisible and intangible, but Li Chen knows that at least this thing can help him to be more decisive and confident in the future at a critical time.

With 26 points, 8 assists and 7 rebounds, plus a stunner, Li Chen once again won the MVP honor from the boss.
