Chapter 165: Extraneous Moves (8600 Words Chapter)
In the Western Conference semifinals G2, when the game between the Thunder and the Mavericks played 2 minutes and 42 seconds at the beginning, Coach Carlisle immediately asked for a timeout, and the situation on the court was very bad!
Not only is it a problem with Li Ze's personal defense, but the turtle turtle in this game also continued the style of play at the end of the last game and began to frantically impact the Mavericks' interior line, which made Dampier's defensive pressure increase dramatically, and the 35-year-old veteran felt that he was going to be unable to withstand the opening game...
And the 4:10 start also made the audience at Ford Center Arena fall into a frenzied atmosphere, the blue and white sea began to surge constantly, the players broke out little by little, and the fans already felt that victory was beckoning to the home team!
During the timeout, the Mavericks bench looked serious, and if the Thunder really had to explode at full strength, the game could be spent quickly, and no one wanted to go back to Dallas from 2-0 down.
The coaching staff naturally made a plan before the game, but what happened in tonight's game was the last thing they wanted to see, and Coach Carlisle kept raising his voice at this time, trying to make his players hear more clearly:
"23 joint defense, guys, we have to guard against the two wings of the Thunder, Kidd and Butler, pay attention to the defense of Lee, don't shrink too small, Marion, if the opponent continues to break through, you have to quickly help defend!"
"Communicate well on the court, let's try to defend a few rounds first, we must protect the rebound, Kidd, seize the opportunity to switch offense!"
The assistant coach on the side also hurriedly took out the tactical board prepared in advance, and continued to cooperate with Carlisle's explanation, so that everyone could better understand the changes on the defensive end.
"Hum..."
As soon as the timeout came, Coach Carlisle also began to cheer for his players:
"There's still a lot of time to play, defend well and be patient on the offensive end!"
The Celestial Empire on the other side of the ocean, because today is Thursday, if fans want to watch this game, they have to come to Sina Sports to watch the game, the host Ke Xiaofan saw that the Mavericks did not make personnel adjustments, and immediately said:
"Actually, the Mavericks don't have too good rotation players on the bench, and if you really want Terry to play early, you may not be able to play better than Caron Butler, Mr. Yang, what do you think about the opening two minutes or so?"
"My opinion is that the Mavericks need to replace Dampier as an old center next season, and the defense really can't keep up, although they can still score a few goals under the basket on the offensive end, but what the Mavericks need more is an inside gate, so that Nowitzki can reduce physical exertion."
For this round of the series, he predicted that the Thunder team would easily win 4:2 and win the second home court, which would perfectly fit his script...
"Let's see how the Mavericks adjust after they come back from a timeout, and if they continue to play like they started with, there's a good chance they'll be pulled away in the first quarter."
After the Mavericks came back from a timeout, after a few passes from the outside, they immediately handed the ball to Nowitzki in the left waist position, and Nowitzki faced Jeff Green's defense, and quickly released the ball with his left hand after the three threats, and carried Jeff Green on his side with his body to kill directly to the basket.
Noticing that the Thunder's defensive rotation was rapidly shrinking inward, Nowitzki immediately closed the ball and shook it, and after spotting Jeff Green, he adjusted his posture and made a mid-range jumper near the baseline.
"Huh...", a steady goal from mid-range.
The Thunder were unaffected by Nowitzki's offense, and after quickly sending out a baseline ball, the Turtle dribbled through the half, and immediately found that the Mavericks defended a 23-game defense, which was indeed beyond his expectations.
Kostic came to the three-point line again to block and dismantle, and the turtle wanted to continue the first two rounds and accelerate the breakthrough on the left side, this time Dampier's defense quickly rotated, and Kidd on the side also kept an eye on Kostic's movements.
At this time, the Mavericks contracted very hard, and the turtles did not reluctantly attack, and returned the ball to Jeff Green at the top of the arc again.
It's just that the Mavericks guarded the two wings, Li Ze and Durant failed to get a chance, and after the ball turned around, it was finally Jeff Green at the top of the arc who got the open space and made a jump shot outside the three-point line.
"Bang...", he was angry.
The Mavericks paid close attention to the protection of the rebounding ball, and everyone was stuck early, and finally Dampier successfully protected the rebound.
The head coach of Brooks on the sidelines noticed the changes in the Mavericks' defense, and couldn't help but be a little worried, and the situation of not being able to shoot opportunities also happened in the regular season, and the Thunder's outside three-point shooting was actually very unstable...
After Kidd dribbled quickly past half-court, Marion immediately stepped up to make a simple transition ball, and again gave the ball to Nowitzki on the right side of the midfield, and before Kostic could come up to cover it, Nowitzki quickly shot with a backward mid-range.
"Whew..."The two-point goal went in again.
Jeff Green was numb, he was completely beaten by the opponent in the last game, and tonight he felt that Nowitzki seemed to shoot more accurately...
On the defense of the No. 4 position, Ibaka can't limit Nowitzki at all, and that kind of exaggerated projection, the Thunder team is useless to defend.
The offense of the Thunder team, the turtle turtle who passed half court did not call for blocking and dismantling this time, how to quickly crack the 23 joint defense, and the outside line can transfer the ball continuously and quickly.
After the turtle pretended to break through, he immediately distributed the ball to Jeff Green, who was in the bottom corner, and noticed that the Mavericks' defense moved to the left half, and Jeff Green quickly passed the ball and immediately gave it to Li Ze.
After not stopping the ball, continuing to transmit, and quickly moving from the left side to the right, Durant got a chance outside the three-point line, but he didn't choose to shoot directly, but after dribbling, he wanted to come to a mid-range, but that gave the Mavericks a chance to rotate defensively.
Marion's defense quickly rotated into place, and at the same time, Kidd also gave up the turtle at the top of the arc, and immediately wrapped up Durant, and Dampier in the paint area also immediately defended, Durant instantly felt that he was full of people in front of him, and there were a bunch of arms around him...
Durant naturally noticed Kostic, who was completely open at this time, and just wanted to pass the ball, but was waited for by Kidd, who made an easy steal, and the Mavericks quickly launched a transition offense.
"Oh!!"
The crowd at Ford Center Arena let out an exclamation of surprise, and no one expected that after a few rounds, the situation on the court would be reversed.
After Kidd dribbled two steps, he immediately passed the ball to Marion in front of him, who received the ball and strode across the halfcourt, accelerating with the ball in his right hand, carrying Jeff Green on his side and scoring a layup.
"What a ball! The Mavericks have done a very good job defensively this time! The three of them surrounded and directly broke the ball in Durant's hand, and the joint defense of these two rounds did play a role, and the Mavericks successfully caught up. ”
The host Ke Xiaofan saw the two sides draw again, and immediately praised the Mavericks' defense.
"Durant shouldn't hesitate, throw the opportunity directly, the easiest way to break the 23 joint defense is to hit a long shot on the outside, Kidd and Caron Butler on the line can't completely defend the outside, the opportunity will always come out, it depends on whether the players on the court dare to shoot."
Yang Yi thought that Durant would definitely make a jump shot immediately, but he didn't expect that he would be transported to the Mavericks' arms...
The Thunder team's offense, Li Ze gave his teammates an offensive gesture, and at the same time signaled Jeff Green to go to the bottom right corner first, and the turtle relied on Kostic's block outside the three-point line to accelerate the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand.
Noticing the contraction of the Mavericks' defense, he immediately passed the ball to Jeff Green, who was in the corner, and the Mavericks' defense was moving to the right at this time, and the Thunder's perimeter began to pass the ball quickly.
The ball quickly moved from the right side to the left, and as soon as Li Ze received the ball, Caron Butler's quick pounce came up, but Li Ze ignored the opponent's save and made a quick shot outside the three-point line.
"Huh..."Three-point shot hollow net.
"Ahh
Seeing Li Ze break the team's scoring drought, the audience at Ford Center Arena erupted in huge cheers again.
The head coach of Brooks on the scene suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and star players were needed to stand up at critical moments, and Li Ze responded well.
While retreating, Li Ze loudly reminded his teammates:
"Shoot resolutely! Quickly retreat, don't worry about not being able to shoot! ”
Li Ze knows that once the score is deadlocked, Kostic will become soft and hard, and opportunities under the basket may not be finished, and the outside line must respond at this time.
For the remainder of the first quarter, the Thunder's perimeter was a little inaccurate, and the Mavericks' defense on both wings was very high, which gave both Turtles and Jeff Green plenty of opportunities, but the conversion was less than ideal.
Coupled with the fact that coach Carlisle rotated Haywood early and replaced Dampier, who struggled to defend, it also made Kostic's finishing under the basket more difficult.
When the first quarter of the game ended, at 26:28, the Thunder temporarily led by two points, Li Ze shot 5 of 5, including 3 of 3 three-pointers, cut 13 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist, and did not rest for a minute, directly playing the first quarter.
Coach Brooks is very cautious, Li Ze is too important to this, in the case of Durant's inaccuracy on the outside, Li Ze must be there to rest assured...
During the intermission, the Thunder temporarily adjusted the rotation lineup, allowing Li Ze, who played the first quarter, to rest first, and Turtle Turtle, Soflosa, Durant, Ibaka, and Collison played.
"We have to pass the ball quickly, there are opportunities on the outside, shoot immediately, Russell, pay attention to the passing route, control the mistakes, Kevin, keep shooting, there is still a lot of game time, adjust your condition!"
Durant nodded immediately when he heard this, he played too badly in the first quarter, 1 of 5 from the outside, and could only rely on free throws to score, such a performance was unacceptable...
Li Ze, who was sitting on the bench, felt a little helpless, the opponent's 23 joint defense allowed the Thunder team to get a lot of outside opportunities, and Coach Carlisle was completely betting that the role players of the Thunder team could not shoot chance goals, and at present, it seems that the other party bet right...
At the beginning of the second quarter, the Mavericks' Nowitzki and Marion continued to play, Barria and Jason Terry formed the Mavericks' guard line, plus center Haywood, the Mavericks used their regular rotation, and the strange 4-guard lineup failed to appear...
It's just that after more than two minutes of the game, the audience at the Ford Center Arena exclaimed again and again, Jason Terry is on the hook, against Soflosa's defense, 3 pull-up jump shots that changed from front to back, all of them were scored.
Coupled with Barria's step-back three-pointer after the pick-and-roll, the Mavericks hit a 9-2 wave, which made Coach Brooks immediately call a timeout.
In the Sina studio, the host Ke Xiaofan and the guest Yang Yi were dumbfounded, although the Mavericks did not lead much, but both of them knew that the momentum of the game had fallen to the side of the Mavericks.
"The Mavericks are hitting these balls really horizontally! It's completely unreasonable, the small guard changes direction in front of the ball and shoots Bang Bang Jin, this is rare, this is a playoff game, Coach Carlisle really played like this! ”
Yang Yi saw the Mavericks' style of play, and complained helplessly.
"It's really unexpected, the Mavericks' defense is also very interesting, strangle Durant's side, and the rest of you shoot casually on the outside, but the Thunder team is inaccurate on the outside, and Ibaka scored two points under the basket, it stands to reason that this shouldn't be, there are a few big empty positions, and the result is that you can't shoot."
The host Ke Xiaofan is in a hurry, if he can't shoot again, the opponent's defense will shrink and shrink.
The atmosphere at Ford Center was a little dull at this time, and Coach Brooks naturally knew about the team's problems, although Li Ze only rested for more than two minutes, but at this time he had to go straight up.
"Kayce, pay attention to the opponent's defensive position when you get on the court, and get the ball out quickly when you encounter a pinch, Ibaka, you have to stand more at the free throw line, have a chance to shoot, be decisive!"
"The defensive end should also be nervous, Russell, if the opponent continues to expand the range of the ball and follow up directly, we have to consume them on the defensive end, the opponent's shooting rate will definitely slowly decline, and the rebounding ball should pay attention to the stuck position."
The assistant coach on the side was also reminding Durant:
"Kevin, you need to speed up your offensive tempo, shoot quickly after receiving the ball, and try not to call for blocking!"
The quality of the Thunder's cover is a bit worrisome, and every time Durant calls for a pick-and-roll, it is very likely that he will be completely caught by the Mavericks...
After returning from the timeout, Li Ze replaced Soflosa, and the audience at Ford Center Arena saw Li Ze play, and immediately began to cheer for the home team:
“OKC! OKC! OKC! ”
The turtle dribbled quickly across the halfcourt, and Ibaka immediately stepped up to cover, at which point the Haywood defense followed straight away, and Barria's was also in hot pursuit.
Before the pinch was formed, the Turtle immediately gave the ball to Ibaka, Li Ze quickly moved to the top of the arc, and the Turtle opened up space on the left side outside the three-point line, and the Mavericks at this time almost became a 32 defense.
Jason Terry lowered his body's center of gravity and stared at Li Ze at the same time, Li Ze noticed the defense of the opponent's feet parallel to the position, accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand, and after dribbling two large steps, he suddenly dribbled the ball behind his back, and at the same time used his feet to exert force and retreat to make a jump shot.
"Huh...", the long two points hit steadily.
"Oh!!"
The audience immediately cheered for Li Ze's goal, and the Thunder finally scored again, and under the leadership of the live DJ, they began to cheer loudly for the home team's defense again:
“Defense! Defense! Defense! ”
"What a ball! Li Ze is speeding up the offensive tempo and trying not to give the opponent a chance to wrap up, and Coach Carlisle should be replaced immediately, or Caron Butler has to be replaced. ”
Yang Yi saw Li Ze score again, and immediately started blowing.
After the Mavericks' two guards erupted, they immediately began to give the ball to Nowitzki in the low post, and Ibaka saw the opponent get the ball, and immediately focused on it, and Nowitzki finally forced Ibaka to change his center of gravity after two consecutive tentative steps.
Breaking through the baseline with the ball in his left hand, Collison's help defense immediately rotated into place, but Nowitzki was more experienced, first looking for physical confrontation, and then casually threw the ball to the basket and screamed:
"Ahh
"Squeak..."
The referee's whistle blew for a foul on Collison, and Nowitzki made two free throws.
"Shhh
The audience at the scene was very dissatisfied with the referee's decision, and the entire stadium immediately erupted in huge boos, and Coach Brooks also put pressure on the referee on the sidelines to express his dissatisfaction.
Nowitzki looked calm, unaffected by the atmosphere of the scene, stood at the scene of the free throw, adjusted his breathing, and hit two free throws steadily.
Coach Carlisle also took the opportunity to bring Kidd and Caron Butler on the court, the small guard suffered too much on the defensive end, and Brooks head coach also replaced Jeff Green and Kostic, and the main players on both sides returned.
For the remainder of the second quarter, the Mavericks once again deployed targeted defense, and when Li Ze received the ball on the left side, Caron Butler on the line and Nowitzki on the baseline would quickly pinch and force Li Ze to the ball.
Durant on the right side frequently enjoyed the treatment of a three-man bag, Marion resisted, Haywood arrived, and then Kidd would join the bag.
This made Durant have to complete the offense quickly every time he received the ball, but tonight his three-point shot was dumb, causing the Mavericks' defense to become more and more aggressive.
Fortunately, the turtle hit the response ball in time, not only hitting a three-point shot from the outside, but also hitting a two-point mid-range shot continuously, and the point difference did not continue to widen.
At 57:52, the Thunder temporarily trailed by 5 points, and the audience at Ford Center was a little depressed, the team got a lot of opportunities on the outside in the first half, but they couldn't score, coupled with the Mavericks' sudden outburst, in just a few minutes, the team fell behind...
At halftime, in the Sina studio on the other side of the ocean, the host Ke Xiaofan and guest Yang Yi were also discussing the game between the two sides in the first half.
"Mr. Yang, do you think the Thunder team should adjust their game strategy in the second half and reduce some outside projections?"
"It's actually very difficult for the Thunder to adjust, Kostic's finishing ability is like that, you can't expect him to score all of a sudden in the second half, there will definitely be chances in the bag, but in this game the Thunder's weak interior line was completely exposed."
"If Kostic could have shot from the free-throw line, finished efficiently under the basket, or received the ball and passed it out again, the Thunder would have been in a completely different situation on the court."
"It's the same with Jeff Green, if you can't limit Nowitzki's scoring on the defensive end, and you can't respond on the offensive end, then the Mavericks will completely abandon him and unscrupulously wrap up Li Ze and Durant."
After the host Ke Xiaofan heard Yang Yi's comments, his heart was half cold, and he immediately asked out loud:
"So what do you think the Thunder should do in the second half? The difference is not big, and I think the Thunder have every chance to move the game back, and the Mavericks' shooting in the second quarter was too accurate, and the shooting percentage will definitely drop after that. ”
"I think the Thunder team has to defend first, and it is actually a normal phenomenon that the offensive end suddenly mutes, but at this time it will test the team's defense, as long as you hold the opponent, the game will be played, and the Thunder team will mainly have problems with the defense in the second quarter."
"At this time, it's time to change Jeff Green, bring Ibaka up, defend it first, wait for Durant to feel it on the offensive end, and then play a few more conversion offenses, the boys are emotionally together, maybe the problem will be solved."
Yang Yi smiled, his comment belonged to the two ends, and he won the true biography of Director Zhang, Ke Xiaofan didn't know how to answer, so he had to change the topic and said:
"Thank you Mr. Yang for your comments, you can take a look at the short videos we prepared at halftime, all of which are Li Ze's wonderful goals in the regular season!"
......
The Thunder team was in the locker room, and everyone was depressed at this time, although the score difference was not big, but it really hurt morale, and Jeff Green was very self-reproachful and said:
"Sorry, Bro, I should have shot all those open three-pointers, then we'd already have a big lead!"
Durant, of course, had to support his supporters at this time, and immediately spoke:
"Green, you're consuming too much on the defensive end, it's normal that you can't shoot, and I'll definitely respond in the second half!"
"We were still too impatient with the ball, and the Mavericks' defense was very well coordinated, so I think we should pass the ball more and mobilize their defense thoroughly, rather than trying to finish the offense after two or three passes."
Li Ze played very depressed in the first half, although he knew that not every teammate could observe the defense and pass the ball calmly, but many times after he played the ball, it was a meat bun beating a dog, and there was no return, which made him very painful, just a 5-point difference, and everyone was too impatient.
Turtle Turtle played the best in the first half, and has now efficiently cut 16 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 turnover, basically he grasped all the opportunities that appeared, and at this time saw that everyone was depressed, and immediately comforted:
"Don't worry, the old guys' physical fitness is not as good as ours, and their defensive intensity will definitely drop in the second half!"
After head coach Brooks entered the locker room, he immediately sent chicken soup for the soul to everyone:
"It's just half-time, we haven't played yet, there are still two quarters of play, we can easily get back the score, the offense played well in the first half, and believe me, the Mavericks' shooting percentage will also come down."
'In the second half we need to defend with all our might, just like in the first game, we have to press their ball carriers, we have to be a little bit more patient, Ibaka, Kostic, in the second half you have to be more in the two elbow zone.
'We can play a little bit more hand-to-hand passing, we can play more defensively, but we also have to open up the space on the pitch and add more breakthroughs, and don't forget, we're a younger team.'
After saying these words, Coach Brooks began to draw tactical diagrams on the whiteboard continuously, and the assistant coach also reminded on the side:
"The Mavericks are very tight on both of our wings, but some long twos can solve a lot of problems at times, and at the same time, Russell, once you break into the opponent's paint zone, you have to pay attention to Marion's defense, and once the opponent shrinks, you can get the ball to Kevin."
"The opponent pays a lot of attention to the protection of the basket, so you must observe the opponent's defensive position during the breakthrough, find those fleeting opportunities, receive passes on the outside, and shoot decisively!"
Li Ze heard the assistant coach's words, and nodded subconsciously, originally he rarely shot two points, just one step away, it is more cost-effective to shoot three-pointers, and in the middle distance, the shooting rate will be higher if he shoots near the waist.
But in this game, the Mavericks almost stepped on the three-point line to defend him, and once he broke through to the waist, the opponent would quickly pinch him, I have to admit that at this time, two points can really solve the problem, thinking of the defense he faced, I secretly thought in my heart:
"Perhaps, it's time to change the offensive strategy..."
After the start of the third quarter, the crowd at the Ford Center Arena also adjusted their mood, and the difference was only 5 points, believing that their home team would soon overtake the score, and in the first round, they began to shout loudly for the home team's defense:
“Defense! Defense! Defense! ”
For the Thunder's oppressive defense, the Mavericks were also prepared, Dampier immediately came to the upper line to block and dismantle, using his big body to help Kidd temporarily get rid of the tortoise's entanglement, and after dismantling, he received Kidd's pass and immediately went down.
After using his body to carry Kostic, he just wanted to put the basket, but was interfered with by Ibaka, who came to help defend, and the basket failed to finish... In the second half, the Thunder took the lead in making adjustments, and Ibaka came straight on.
The Mavericks quickly retreated, and the turtle noticed that there was no opportunity to convert the offense, slowly dribbled across the halfcourt, and saw that the opponent was still 23 defense, and immediately signaled Ibaka to come to the free throw line to block and dismantle, and saw that Nowitzki's defense also followed, and the turtle immediately passed the ball to Li Ze on the left side.
After receiving the ball, Li Ze quickly tried to step to the right, suddenly exerted force under his feet, crossed the ball with his left hand and broke through, just one step past the three-point line, and immediately stopped and jumped to shoot.
"Whew...", the long two points scored easily.
Caron Butler didn't have time to follow, so he could only watch Li Ze shoot in front of him...
"Hah!!"
Although it was not a three-point shot, the audience at the scene immediately cheered for the goal, and the difference was only three points! Everyone should flick the white handkerchief in their hands.
After scoring the goal, Li Ze looked at the stunned Caron Butler, and immediately laughed out loud and said:
"I'm going to shoot here in the next offensive round! Come on, man! ”
When Caron Butler heard the words of Li Ze pretending to be X, the little flame in his heart was bubbling up, do you think you are Larry Bird?
The score was approaching, and the Thunder's defense was also strong, when he saw Nowitzki receiving the ball in the low post again, Durant immediately stepped forward to wrap it, and Nowitzki quickly passed the ball to Marion, who cut in from the outside, who was just about to come up, and the fast-reacting Ibaka jumped up again to interfere.
"Bang...", the interfering layup smashed directly on the neck of the basket...
Durant struggled to protect the backcourt rebound, at this time the Mavericks had quickly returned to defense, lost the opportunity to switch offense, and the turtle, who dribbled the ball across the half court, once again made an offensive gesture to his teammates, and then passed the ball directly to Durant.
At this time, Kostic quickly raised the feint to block and dismantle, and noticed that Dampier also followed, and Durant immediately gave the ball to the turtle at the top of the arc, and the Mavericks' defensive rotation also changed, and the turtle did not stop the ball, and then passed the ball to Li Ze.
At the same time, Ibaka also came over to pretend to block and dismantle, and after receiving the ball, Li Ze quickly released the ball and put his right hand in
and
Out, a sudden change of direction in front of the body, shaking off Caron Butler's defense again, the same position, a long two-point pullup jump shot.
The two-point ball hollowed into the net
"Ahh
Li Ze's shot ignited the emotions of the audience, and when he scored this goal, there was only one point left in the difference, and everyone vented the excitement in their hearts and kept shouting loudly.
Coach Carlisle on the sidelines could only shake his head helplessly when he saw Li Ze scoring such long two points in a row, he couldn't ask his players to do more, the team's defense was no problem, Li Ze just threw the ball into...
Caron Butler only felt humiliated at this time, and the anger in his heart surged, and when he waited for the Mavericks' offensive round, Li Ze did not press the opponent to death, and noticed that after Caron Butler received Kidd's pass from the outside, he deliberately let go of a small step.
Such a defensive action also made Caron Butler completely up, quickly released the ball with his right hand, dribbled under his crotch and changed direction in front of his body, accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his left hand, and suddenly hit Li Ze hard while traveling, but found that his movements were also a little out of control...
But Caron Butler, who was on top, still insisted on completing the offense, and under the interference of Li Ze, he stepped back and made a jumper.
"Bang...", he was angry.
The rebound was protected by Kostic, and as soon as the pass was made to the turtle, the Thunder quickly pushed the transition offense, noticing that Durant had rushed past half court, and the turtle quickly made a long pass to find the opponent.
After receiving the ball, Durant accelerated wildly, hit 0 in the front court, strode up, and hit a powerful one-arm dunk!
"Bang..."
The Thunder overtook the score, and the audience began to shout wildly! It's coming, it's finally out of transition!
In the next few minutes, Li Ze kept the words in his mouth in the face of Caron Butler's defense:
"I'm going to keep shooting here, you have to defend well!"
"Good job, man, God probably can't see what happened to you, and finally let me miss a goal here."
"Cool! You're close to stopping me this time! ”
Caron Butler was almost lifted to heaven by Li Ze's trash talk, but he could only shout in impotent rage:
"Shut up, rookie!"
After shouting this sentence, after two or three rounds, Li Ze continued to throw two long points in front of him, this time the Thunder team's offense, Li Ze quickly crossed and broke through after receiving the ball, and quickly pulled back with his left hand, and at the same time adjusted his pace, and directly came to a double step jumper.
"Huh..."
"Squeak..."
The referee's whistle sounded, and the penalty was added, Li Ze came to a 3+1, and after Caron Butler heard the whistle, he was immediately furious in his heart, and yelled at the referee:
"He's walking, this ball is definitely walking, you should go see the replay!"
Seeing that Li Ze was still arrogantly throwing his hands at him, Caron Bart completely broke the defense, and sprayed at Li Ze and the referee:
"Shit rookie! Blind referee, Fack! It's the Western Conference Semifinals! You ruined the game! ”
After spraying trash talk, he still felt that he was not relieved enough, so he stepped forward and pushed Li Ze down, and just wanted to continue to do it, the players on both sides quickly rushed up, and the two sides suddenly tore together, and the scene became extremely chaotic...
The spectators at the Ford Center Arena saw the scene in chaos, and they all screamed excitedly, and the referee saw that the situation was not right, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull the two sides apart.
Li Ze, who returned to the bench, smiled, the opponent's actions, coupled with insulting the referee, it is estimated that he would have to leave the field early, and sure enough, after the referee repeatedly watched the replay, he immediately made a penalty.
"After repeated confirmation by the technical desk, the No. 4 player of the Dallas Mavericks, Caron Butler, committed a first-degree malicious foul, provoked the referee, and was ejected!"
Coach Carlisle was immediately very dissatisfied, and he knew that once he lost Caron Butler, the top defensive player on the perimeter, the Mavericks' defensive system would collapse in an instant...
But unfortunately, the referee had no intention of changing the decision, and this penalty completely determined the trend of the game.
When the game reached the fourth quarter, Jason Terry, who had no choice but to play, attacked the Thunder's perimeter, and the defense was almost useless... The Thunder finally managed to keep their home court with a tough run thanks to the excellent play of the trio.
At 94:100, the audience at the Ford Center began to frantically celebrate this hard-won victory, and Li Ze, who was sitting on the bench, sighed silently in his heart:
"It's so hard to win at home? What to do with an away game..."
