No one could have imagined that the Nuggets would draw with the Lakers, losing three games in a row, which seemed to give the Nuggets players a glimmer of hope.

But after the first quarter, Jokic became out of breath and physically exhausted.

Covered in sweat.

The Nuggets' bench player brought Jokic a bottle of water and quickly asked him to replenish his strength.

Everyone on the floor knew that the second Kic was still on the court, and the Nuggets couldn't live without Jokic.

The head coach of the Nuggets also looked a little serious, clasped his hands on his chest and glanced at his players.

"Next, Murray, you and Jokic must link, Murray shoots as many threes as possible, shoots a few threes, and the outside line will be opened, so as to give Jokic less pressure."

Jokic played like this, and it was estimated that he would be gone after the first half.

And the head coach of the Nuggets is worried about this, if there is no advantage on the inside, it is simply impossible to win against the Lakers.

Jokic glanced at Murray, "You have to believe in yourself, don't forget that we've lost three games in a row now, and if we lose this one again, we're really going to go back to our hometown completely." ”

Looking at everyone again, Jokic's expression gradually became serious.

There was a hint of slaughter in the air.

"Are we players really willing to go back?"

"Everyone wants to qualify for the next round of the competition, but the fact is that we are in front of us, and if we don't win this game, we will be eliminated."

"And we still have a little chance now."

At this point, there was a hint of hope in Jokic's eyes.

Everyone was slightly stunned, and their eyes were almost focused on Jokic.

"McGee has already had two fouls now, and if he had fouled in the second half, then there was a real possibility that he would have been sent off!"

Both of these fouls were caused by Jokic, and each time Jokic made a low-handed layup, which was to tempt McGee to foul.

When the others heard Jokic's words, their eyes lit up slightly.

McGee now has two fouls.

If he could have fouled twice in the second quarter, it was a real chance that he wouldn't play again in the second half.

This is a huge opportunity for the Nuggets.

If McGee doesn't play, then even with James on the inside, Jokic doesn't have any fear.

A James can't contain Jokic, and he has such confidence.

"Brothers, this is really our last chance, whether we can really save our team depends on ourselves, and I also hope that everyone can really work hard and do their best to win this game!"

"Come to think of it, this is the closest we're to the Western Conference Finals."

Jokic's words also inspired the players.

......

The second quarter begins.

Coach Wharton's side didn't make much of a change, and he was still a starter.

Just a reminder of the number of McGee fouls, for McGee's foul count, the current Wharton coach does not seem so flustered.

In the first quarter of the game, Subei only scored eight points, which is still quite good data.

James also scored only six points, and there were other players who also scored a little bit each.

The Lakers are now in tandem with other players, and have they put all their offense on James and Subei.

After the players came on the court, the Nuggets were full of fighting spirit.

Because they have been inspired by Jokic, it also gives them hope of victory.

Coach Wharton looked at the court calmly, and at this moment he also had a strong confidence and felt that he could win against the Nuggets.

Nuggets offense.

Murray was up front and saw that Rondo was only one step away from him.

Let the Nuggets' small forward come over and block for him, and then Murray has room to shoot after going around the small forward's body.

Hand up and knife down.

The basketball arced gracefully through the air.

Smack.

Three points scored.

At this time, Murray watched the basketball fall into the basket, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He was the first to shoot a three-pointer on the court, and it went in.

It also gave him confidence.

The next goal will definitely go in.

Murray thought to himself, and then saw Subei's side again, with a hint of pride on his face.

He can shoot three-pointers.

I can too.

The rest of the Nuggets players celebrated wildly when they saw their side shoot a three-pointer.

"Murray's three-pointer is finally open, maybe we really have hope."

"Come on, brothers!"

"We must not let the Lakers knock us out......"

The Nuggets' bench players were talking, but they were getting their gauntlets.

On the other side, the Lakers' Subei hit a three-pointer on the left side of the three-point line.

At this moment, the scores of the two teams were tied again, 33:33.

And the corners of the Nuggets bench players' mouths twitched slightly, and suddenly that guy was really a TMD monster.

Here comes another three.

It's like it's like a training match, without any pressure.

In the live broadcast room.

Yang Yi watched the two teams play back and forth, and smiled slightly.

"In today's game, you can see that the players on both sides are playing like crazy, it seems that there is no fear in their eyes, only the basket, especially the Nuggets players, who are playing very well!"

Murray hit a three-pointer and then hit a three-of-four to give the Nuggets some advantage.

And Subei also made two of the three shots here, and then James also played a great role.

As long as he gets the ball passed to him by Rondo, he directly holds the ball and takes three steps to make a layup.

It's almost impossible for anyone to guard against him.

The Nuggets are attacking again.

Jokic asked Murray for the ball again on the inside, and in his opinion, he had to single McGee.

As long as McGee is gone, then this is McGee's chance.

Jokic receiving the ball,

Pushing McGee with his ass is to discern McGee's position.

McGee's right foot is one step forward, and his left foot is slightly back.

His hand was on Jokic's waist, his eyes were extremely serious, and he didn't dare to take anything lightly.

Because what he sticks to is the Lakers' inside line, once he is going to be beaten by others, then the Lakers will be completely finished.

Jokic first broke through to McGee's left and confronted him.

McGee kept moving back, his big hands raised high, and it was hard for him to imagine that Jokic could still exert such terrifying power now.

For a moment, Jokic suddenly turned around with the ball and came to McGee's right.

Reach straight up and pick up the basket.

And at this time, he also exposed a loophole, just to be able to induce McGee to foul.

McGee swung it down with his big hand......

There was no referee across from him, but a referee next to him, but McGee's figure blocked Jokic's figure.

From the side, McGee has already hit Jokic's hand.

McGee's hand slammed into Jokic's wrist, and a snapping sound rang out.

Beep!!!

The referee's whistle blew at the same time.

and signaled McGee to foul, and the Lakers' bench players saw this moment with a look of surprise on their faces.

"Why are you fouling again, McGee has three fouls now, and this is the second quarter of the game."

"In that form, there's a good chance McGee will be sent off."

"Then our Lakers ......"

There was a hint of anxiety on the Lakers' bench players.

If McGee is gone, it will already be a disadvantage for their Lakers.

And at the moment.

Jokic stood at the free-throw line and hit that free throw safely!

......

The second quarter of the game was very intense, and the Nuggets' side of the players seemed to feel as if they were open, in addition to a few three-pointers from Murray, there were other players' mid-range shots.

All the players are scoring......

And just as the second quarter was about to end.

Beep!!!

The referee's whistle blew again.

McGee is fouled again.

The Lakers' bench players panicked again, and they couldn't believe what was happening in front of them.

McGee fouls again!

McKeehe has been fouled four times.

Who would have thought it was only the first half, McGee had already committed four fouls.

Not only the Lakers' bench players couldn't believe it, but even the fans in the arena were confused.

"How can four fouls be possible?"

"If that's the case, how can the Lakers' interior line play?"

"Do you just keep watching Jokic blow up the Lakers' interior line?"

There was a hint of anger in the fans of the arena, and some suspected that the referee was maliciously awarded McGee for a foul.

But that's the case, so how did the Lakers play later?

No one knows.

Coach Wharton's face was not as solemn as they said, but a calm face.

This time he has replaced McGee and put Zubac on the field.

McGee had a touch of reluctance in his heart, and he felt that this was the trap that Jokic had set for him.

But he didn't want to watch Jokic score, he wanted to do his part for the Lakers.

"Coach, I ......" McGee wanted to say to Coach Wharton, but Coach Wharton waved his hand.

"Don't worry about anything, you're in my heart, McGee you're the best center."

"Go down and rest first, what you lost, wait until the last quarter of the game, you must get it back!"

Coach Wharton turned slightly and looked at McGee with extremely serious eyes, staring at McGee.

McGee was slightly stunned, and Coach Wharton's words gave McGee great confidence.

At this moment, the air seemed to freeze, and there was a murderous aura.

McGee knew he was going to play in the final quarter, and that's when he really proved himself.

The Nuggets, on the other hand, had a triumphant smile on their faces.

"We're definitely going to win this game, McGee is gone, Jokic is playing the Lakers' interior, and there's certainly no pressure."

"And our guard touch is also here, and by the second half we will definitely lead the Lakers by a big score!"

In their opinion, the Lakers don't have McGee, so their interior defense is also useless.

The Nuggets players on the court also became emotionally charged after seeing McGee go off the court.

His face was full of confidence.

McGee looked at the Nuggets players, his eyes gradually became cold, and he must get back what he lost.
