On May 5th, with the end of G2 between the Thunder and the Mavericks, the media of Amerika were suddenly excited and had a big life!

This game was very dramatic, the Mavericks' 23 joint defense made Durant completely dumb in the first half, and the Thunder team survived the first two quarters thanks to Li Ze and the Turtles.

In the third quarter of the game, after Li Ze used a double retreat to score 3+1, Caron Butler, who broke the defense, was sent out after pushing Li Ze because he was dissatisfied with the referee's decision, which also caused the Mavericks to collapse on the defensive end in the fourth quarter and finally lost the game.

At the press conference after the game, Coach Carlisle was very dissatisfied with the referee's decision, and even bluntly pointed out that the referee was misjudged:

"It was a big joke that our top perimeter defender was ejected because of a miscalculation! I'm accepting defeat, but the league should revisit the decision and I'm looking forward to the referee's report after the game. ”

Coach Brooks was in a good mood, leading 2:0, which was definitely a perfect start to the series, and for Coach Carlisle's words, he smiled slightly and began to stand up for his disciples:

"Miscalculation? No, no, no, the league just revised the rules of walking this year, Kayce's technical moves are no problem at all, the referee's decision is undoubtedly very correct, Caron Bart directly pushed my player, it was definitely not a basketball move! ”

"As for Kevin's sluggish form, that's normal, don't forget he's just a third-year rookie, the Thunder are the youngest team in the league, and I hope people can be more lenient with the boys."

When it comes to the issue of rules,

All the relevant people in the NBA league are in good spirits, and Li Ze's step-back jumper was repeatedly pulled out and replayed, some people said to walk, some people said to be good balls, and this penalty was directly pushed to the forefront...

On TNT's show that night, host Earny Johnson, ball critics Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley were also discussing tonight's game.

"Wow! We've watched Lee's moves over and over a few times, guys, what do you guys think? Was this a misjudgment by the referee? ”

Host Ernnie Johnson asked the two partners, one on the left and one on the right, in an exaggerated tone.

"If it is according to the new rules, Kayce actually did not walk, 012, we pay attention to the timing of its combination, it is completely in line with the rules, but this is after we watched the slow motion, we can see it thoroughly, according to the situation on the field at the time, this is indeed a blow in favor of the home team."

Kenny Smith watched it a few times and immediately gave his opinion.

"I'll admit it, it's a pretty technical move, but I don't like the rule changes, the NBA started to have a lot of rules in the 90s, and all of them were skewed towards the outside attacker, which made our style of play a lot softer."

Charles Barkley is starting to miss the tough guy basketball again...

"The referee didn't misjudge, Lee is a genius and it's hard for me to imagine how he did that, it's horrible body coordination."

"The Thunder won hard, under the Mavericks' bag defense, Lee got 28 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 turnovers and 2 steals, I can't imagine that he is still a rookie, after going to Dallas, do you think the Mavericks will get one back?"

Charles Barkley heard Earlney Johnson's words and immediately spoke:

"I think the Mavericks are going to win at home, they've found a way to limit the Thunder, and while Kayce is playing well and Russell is playing well, look at Kevin Durant's sluggish play! That's the downside of relying too much on outside lines. ”

"I agree with you, but seriously, Durant himself is only a third-year rookie and scored 24 points in the first half of the slump, so we shouldn't be too him, he's been doing well in the playoffs before!"

Sure - Smith has always admired Durant very much, and after hearing Barkley's words, he immediately began to say good things about Durant.

"I need to remind both of you that we're probably witnessing the best outside trio in history, with Russell scoring 26 points, Kevin 24 and Lee 28 in this game, and the trio scored 78 points again! This is very rare in the history of the NBA! Give them some time to grow! ”

Host Ernnie Johnson also began to stand for the Thunder's trio.

“OK！ I'm just reminding the Thunder that they need to add a great big man in the offseason, and in the playoffs, a great big man can help the team better, and look at the Thunder's lame cover, I really want to teach their interior a good lesson! ”

Charles Barkley began to criticize the Thunder's interior defense again...

"Oh! Speaking of which, our director team also gave us a few rounds of the game, poor Kevin, who was immediately caught after a pick-and-roll, which we can often see in the first half. ”

"Hahaha, man, are you going to run a training camp in the offseason? I made an appointment for Jeff Green in advance, and oh my god, I think Nowitzki must have loved the Thunder's interior defense! Scored 34 points in two consecutive games! ”

......

The Thunder didn't celebrate much after their home win, as their semi-final schedule was very tight, with only one day between home and away.

Thinking of this, Li Ze wanted to complain about the Lakers' schedule, why when the Lakers go to an away game, they can rest for 4 days, considering the distance, this time is a bit too long...

When Li Ze returned to the mansion in Russia, the UCLA brothers had already left early, and after staying in Russia for half a month, everyone was already bored, and after a brief discussion, everyone agreed to go to Los Angeles to wait for Li Ze.

In Love's words: we firmly believe that the Lakers and Thunder will reach the Western Conference Finals, so everyone has to buy tickets in advance to reminisce about the wonderful life in Los Angeles by the way.

When Li Ze heard this, he immediately understood that these guys didn't like the sister paper of the Russian city, so they went to Los Angeles to practice collectively...

After a simple wash, Li Ze Li lay down on his big bed, he has to fly to Dallas tomorrow, the taste of staying in a hotel is not comfortable, and the environment in the away team's locker room is also average, so he must recharge his energy tonight!

In the dream training space, Li Zemei saw a prompt appear again on the control panel, and quickly came to the achievement room, saw the newly produced bronze badge in front of him, and with a single click, checked its attributes:

Achievement Badge [Defensive Deterrence]: 6/50

Deter opposing offensive players and make them more likely to miss.

The badge attribute is simple and rude, Li Ze is very satisfied with this, although the current copper effect is definitely not obvious, but after upgrading, it will definitely have a huge bonus to himself, he has already experienced that the badge not only adds to his own technical use, but also has more effects on the badge in terms of game experience.

How to better read the opponent's defense, use their own skills reasonably, how to better defend the opponent's core players, combine the team's defensive system, and limit the opponent's play, all of which require rich game experience.

But Lee, who was dressed in a silver badge, found himself with an uncanny instinct, and when he was on the court, he could read the game better, as if he had played in the NBA for three or four seasons, and that was the potential effect of the badge.

Thinking of the wonderful scene next season, after the badge was brushed to gold, Li Ze's mood became more and more pleasant, and by the way, he gave himself a psychological hint:

"It's good to have badges to produce, and although Dallas is not easy to play on the road, but if the Mavericks are out of line, that..."

On May 6th, the NBA league announced the best team for the 09~10 season, and Kevin Durant was successfully selected for a while, with a group of 5 people: Dwyane Wade, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, LeBron James, and Dwight Howard.

And Li Ze was also selected for the second team with his outstanding performance in his rookie season, and the second team of five people: Steve Furnash, Li Ze, Carmelo Anthony, Amare Stoudemire, Dirk Nowitzki.

The five in the three-team are: Deron Williams, Brandon Roy, Joe Johnson, Tim Duncan, Pau Gasol.

Coupled with the best defensive team announced yesterday, a group of 5 people: Rajon Rondo, Kobe Bryant, Gerald Wallace, LeBron James, Dwight Howard;

The second team consists of five people: Dwyane Wade, Sapo Soflosa, Josh Smith, Anderson Vallejo, Tim Duncan.

By this morning, all the major awards for the NBA regular season have been released.

On the plane to Dallas, everyone on the Thunder team congratulated Li Ze, Durant and Sofrosa, the best team and the best defensive team are great achievements, after all, many role players have never been on this kind of list in their lifetime.

"Sapo, I said you were going to make the All-Defensive Team, and I'm right, that's pretty cool! We've got three of the best players in the team! ”

Jeff Green is also happy for the trio, although he himself has nothing, but as long as he keeps up with the pace of the team boss, there will definitely be no shortage of data and contracts.

"I didn't expect to be selected for the All-Defensive Team, maybe our record is a big plus for me, thank you!"

Sofrosa said happily.

"It's a shame, Kayce, if only you could be selected for a while, but unfortunately the competition on the guard line is really fierce, and Kobe Bryant and Wade have been firmly in the list in recent years."

Turtle Turtle feels sorry for his good brother, after all, the rookie season is more legendary when he enters a while.

"This result is not bad, I am already very satisfied, congratulations Kevin, this season won the scoring title, successfully entered the best team, in the offseason, the big contract will definitely not run!"

When Durant heard Li Ze's words, he felt more and more comfortable, who is the core player? Thinking of the happy place, he directly leaned back tactically, and then said happily:

"Thank you all for your support, and wait for my good news, guys! I'm going to make a lot of money this offseason! I'm going to have the biggest party in Russia! ”

"Maybe I can invite Scarlett, she's going to be single again, what do you think!"

"Yikes! Forget it, Kevin, women in Hollywood aren't for you! Let's invite some little models, and have more fun! ”

"Scarlett hasn't divorced yet, maybe it's just a scene for her, and the relationship between husband and wife is good."

"No, I believe the media reports, married life is not for her now, she needs more freedom, I have a hunch that she will be single again this year!"

When Li Ze heard Durant's words, he was speechless for a moment, and he was still deceiving himself! Lick until there is nothing left...

The Celestial Empire on the other side of the ocean naturally knew about Li Ze's selection of the best team, and various media quickly sent out the prepared manuscripts, and various periodicals and magazines also began to publish Li Ze's special topics.

All kinds of chicken soup jokes emerge in endlessly, and those who follow the trend and rub hot spots also describe Li Zeke as a talented boy who has loved basketball since he was a child and has a poor family...

On the Tiger Fight Forum, the fans almost blew Li Ze into the sky, after all, Da Yao has played for so many years, and his best result is to be selected for the best second team, Li Ze achieved this goal in his rookie season, a proper superstar!

"Watching the game late, Li Ze is the Michael Jordan in my heart, it's really awesome, the regular season is excellent, and the playoffs have directly improved a notch, I have a hunch that Li Ze will definitely win the championship!"

"It's a pity! I think Li Ze has the ability for a while, if he fights until he is 30 years old and gets all kinds of honors, he is not yet 20 years old..."

"It's over, such a comparison, my life is really a failure, the only thing better than Li Ze is that I have a beautiful girlfriend!"

"Don't show upstairs, Li Ze's singles are still hanging on Amerika's billboard, and those songs are very popular in many countries, and they are so handsome... Do you think he'll be short of a girlfriend? ”

"Envy, jealousy, hatred! If only I had Li Ze's ability, I would definitely make a lot of money in college, and my sister paper would be mine. ”

"You're underestimating the best team in the NBA! Not to mention in college, any league on the earth, it will be a random killing, is the national team sure that Li Ze will not be recruited for this World Championships? I feel that Li Zejia may be able to reach the quarterfinals. ”

"Forget it, the national team is deep, Deng Huade was just announced as the head coach of the men's basketball team a few days ago, and it doesn't feel very reliable, but the UAE came back early, which should also have something to do with it."

......

After the plane landed, the Thunder team quickly came to the hotel, the inconvenience of the away game is that all your training time has to accommodate the home team, the Thunder team has about two hours of training sessions in the afternoon, everyone has lunch, you have to quickly come to the American Airlines Center arena to start training.

In the training session, the assistant coach organized everyone to carry out a simple pass and cut cooperation, and in the last game against the Mavericks' bag and clamp defense, the Thunder team played too passively, and when they came to the away game, the coaching staff naturally wanted to prevent the situation of the previous game from happening again.

Coach Brooks frowned as he watched from the sidelines, the Thunder are currently a team that relies heavily on cover, but playing away, Jeff Green and Ibaka are easily caught by the referee for small moves and blowing for moving screens, which has been fulfilled in the first round of games...

The thought of playing away from home and the quality of cover dropping again made Coach Brooks feel depressed, knowing that the team's weakest link is not able to strengthen it, which is terrible.

"Scott, maybe it's not as bad as you think, we and the Mavericks are both teams that rely on outside shooting, and the opponent's shooting percentage fluctuates, and in the playoffs, I still believe more in the role of star players, and Kayce has raised our floor a lot."

Coach Brooks heard the assistant coach's words and responded helplessly:

"I'm worried about the referee's blowing scale, coming to Dallas, the referee will definitely relax some defensive moves, which is very bad for us, unlike the Spurs, Carlisle is very gambled, and he may test our role players again."

"I'm sure the lads are going to play well, and if you look at the regular season stats, Jeff Green's shooting percentage will definitely pick up, we've got two plans in place, and most importantly, we just need one win on the road."

Thinking that the big score is already 2-0 ahead, Coach Brooks is no longer bothered with the quality of cover, and after winning a game, the Thunder will get a match point, which is definitely the biggest good news for them.

"Just win a game!"

The Mavericks' uniform team was also notified that Caron Butler was not suspended and could play as usual tomorrow night, which is huge news for the Mavericks, who are struggling defensively on the outside.

After hearing this news, Coach Carlisle also breathed a sigh of relief, he really didn't want Jason Terry and Li Ze to be in the opposite position, the difference in body size was too big, and the defensive end was basically in vain...

"Rick, tomorrow night, will we continue to defend 23? I'm a little worried that the Thunder will suddenly find their touch on the outside, you know, Jeff Green is shooting 33.6 percent from three-point range, and although he didn't play well in the first two games, the joint defense was still too risky. ”

"But we have to stop Lee from receiving the ball and shooting from the waist, and we have to limit the impact of Durant and Russell, Dampier can't rely on his own defensive ability to protect the basket, and we can't consume Dirk too much on the defensive end, and the joint defense is the best option."

The assistant coach thought about it, nodded in agreement, and when he saw Coach Carlisle's serious expression, he immediately said:

"Butler didn't play the offense we expected, his offense was too inefficient under Lee's defense, maybe we should change our mindset next season."

Coach Carlisle pondered for a moment before he said his thoughts on reinforcement:

"I'm hoping to bring in another three-point shooter, outside shooting is becoming more and more important in the game, okay, let's not talk about that, call the players over, let's continue to practice the defensive linkage, tomorrow night's game, we must win!"

On the evening of May 7th, the American Airlines Center Arena, enthusiastic Dadas fans entered the arena early, and tonight the Mavericks' uniform team also distributed white cheering T-shirts, and the stadium with a capacity of 19,200 people has become a sea of white at this time.

In the player tunnel, everyone in the Thunder team felt the hot atmosphere of the away team, and they were also a little nervous, although they led 2:0, but everyone knew that the previous game was not easy to win, and the away game in the playoffs, the whistle will also be biased in favor of the home team, and tonight is destined to be a difficult game.

"It's a good thing my mom didn't come to Dallas with me, and honestly, I don't really like some Dallas fans!"

Durant can faintly hear all kinds of chaotic yelling in the player tunnel, this place is actually quite unfriendly to black people... That's why a lot of black players don't want to go to the Mavericks.

"It doesn't matter, I'm just playing, I'm used to the atmosphere of the playoffs, and it's really interesting to see how angry they are!"

Turtle Turtle recently shaved his head again, and his appearance looked a lot fiercer, and after hearing Durant's words, he immediately responded with a smile.

"Okay, Green, hurry up and throw away your broken talisman, maybe your bad feeling in the first two games was caused by this talisman, did the previous psychic medium run away overnight?"

Li Ze saw Jeff Green on the side holding the talisman in his hand, muttering to himself, and couldn't help but complain.

"No, it's become my spiritual sustenance, just like Michael Jordan likes to wear the number 23 jersey, and I can't live without this transporter!"

Hearing Jeff Green's words, everyone in the Thunder team was speechless, feudal superstition kills people.

When the DJ on the scene began to introduce the visiting team, the Thunder team quickly ran out of the players' tunnel, and the game is about to begin!

On the other side of the ocean, CCTV Sports broadcast the Western Conference semifinals, which is still in the Labor Day holiday, and is closed on Saturday, many fans are sitting in front of the TV early, if the Thunder team can win this game, then there will be no suspense in this group of matchups.

Host Yang Jian and guest Yang Yi chatted a lot about the Mavericks' joint defense before the game, and the game was about to start, and the host Yang Jian once again brought the topic back to the Thunder team.

"Playing away, the Thunder team will definitely encounter a lot of difficulties, but the most important thing is that in the face of joint defense, there is an opportunity on the outside, you must throw the ball in, Yang Yi, do you think the outside line of the Thunder team will suddenly warm up in this game?"

"I think it has something to do with the Mavericks' offense, as long as Nowitzki is aggressive in the low post, Jeff Green has to play 12 points on the defensive end, and the offense is definitely going to be compromised, and we can't ask all the players to play in one game."

"In fact, as long as you play an efficient offense in the first two quarters, in the third quarter, the Thunder team will be able to win this game with a force on the defensive end, plus the offense of the trio, and see what kind of offense the Thunder can play in the first half."

Yang Yi directly said that role players were unreliable, so he could only express his views euphemistically.

"Indeed, as Yang Yi said, the beginning is very important, the outside offense is opened, it may change the defensive form of the Mavericks, Caron Butler is not suspended, play as usual tonight, both sides are regular rotations, the game is about to start, let's switch the screen to the front first!"

After the entrance ceremony, the two sides had a final warm-up activity, and Li Ze noticed that Caron Butler was looking directly at him, and couldn't help but say to the turtle next to him:

"If I continue to beat that guy up tonight, how do you think he's going to react?"

"Haha, Bro, then I'll have to keep an eye on you, he doesn't want to move you, if Kostic hadn't stopped me in the last fight, I'd have had to punch him twice."

The crazy turtle turtle actually likes this-for-tat feeling, but it's a pity that he has no passion for the confrontation with old Kidd, the other party is a thorough old fritter, no matter how provocative he is, Kidd doesn't care about him at all.

Seeing Caron Butler pose like he was going to fight, Turtle Turtle was already getting excited at this point.

"Nope! Don't move your fists! If you throw a punch away from home, it's easy to get banned by the referee, and it's going to be a conflict, just fall him, and then look at my eyes! ”

Li Ze is also prepared in advance, he must blow up the opponent tonight, if he wins this match, then the series will be completely different.

"Don't worry! I'll take care of that! ”

At this time, the referee signaled the players of both sides to come to the center of the field, Kostic and Dampier came to the center circle to prepare to jump the ball, and the audience in the American Airlines Center arena, led by the live DJ, began to shout:

“Let“

go

Mavs！ Let“

go

Mavs！ Let“

go

Mavs！ ”

"Smack..."

Dampier successfully jumped to the ball for the Mavericks with the blessing of the home atmosphere, after Kidd received the ball, immediately dribbled across the half court, Dampier came to the free throw line, received the pass, a simple high-low cooperation, immediately gave the ball to Nowitzki in the low post on the left.

Against Jeff Ger Lin's defense, he made a tentative step after a triple threat, followed by a step-back pull-up jumper.

"Huh...", a steady goal from mid-range.

"Aha!!"

The crowd at the American Airlines Center arena began to cheer for Nowitzki's goal, and the scene turned into a sea of white, and the team's owner, Cuban, who was sitting under the basketball hoop, also clenched his fists and cheered at the sight of Nowitzki's goal.

"Nowitzki still has a good feel! The atmosphere at the Mavericks' home court is a bit scary! Let's hope the Thunder boys can withstand it,"

The host Yang Jian had already heard the sound of the scene.

The Thunder quickly sent a baseline ball, and the turtle dribbled across the halfcourt, and immediately found that the opponent had defended a 23-game defense at the beginning of the game, and the Thunder's coaching staff had already prepared for this, and Jeff Green quickly ran to the bottom right corner.

Turtle Turtle quickly passed the ball to Li Ze on the left side outside the three-point line, Kostic also moved in the direction of Li Ze at this time, and without waiting for the block to be in place, Li Ze suddenly crossed the ball with his left hand and broke through, noticing that Dampier had put all his defensive attention on him, and quickly returned the ball to the turtle at the top of the arc.

Kidd's help defense was half a beat slower, which caused Marion to quickly shrink inward, and the turtle was not reluctant to attack, and immediately passed the ball to Durant on the right side outside the three-point line, who received the ball and made a jumper.

The three-point shot hollowed into the net.

After the goal, Durant beat his chest excitedly, he was 0-of-5 from beyond the three-point line in the last game, and he had to prove his scoring ability in the away game.

Kidd dribbled across half court with the ball, Nowitzki came to the left elbow of the free throw line, and after receiving Kidd's pass, Marion first cut inside to take Durant's defense.

Nowitzki quickly released the ball with his right hand in the face of Jeff Green's defense, suddenly turned around, accelerated directly, rushed up in three steps, and scored a layup with a low left hand.

Jeff Green was a little blindsided, and he started to break through with the ball so far away, which was indeed a bit unexpected for him, and he was completely caught off guard.

Looking back, the Thunder's offense played the same tactic again, after Li Ze received the ball, Kostic went up again to block and dismantle, and Caron Butler was tightly guarding Li Ze at this time.

Noticing that Dampier's defense was not too big, Li Ze quickly released the ball with his right hand, suddenly changed direction in front of his body, and with the help of Kostic's blocking and dismantling cover, he temporarily got rid of Caron Butler's entanglement, just one step past the three-point line, and shot a two-point pull-up jump shot.

The two-pointer hit the ball steadily.

"Oh!!"

The audience at the American Airlines Center Arena also let out an exclamation, and many fans watched the highlights of the previous game, and Li Ze's unreasonable long two points impressed them.

Caron Butler's scalp was numb in an instant, and he remembered the fear of being dominated by Li Zechang's two-point in the last game, and it was the same position, this disgusting two-point shot kept scored, which was really a test of the defender's psychological state.

"That's amazing! This kind of shooting is completely unreasonable, after a block and dismantle has an opportunity, pull it up and throw it, and the shot will go in, and it is completely impossible to defend, which is not like the game we broadcast before the Lakers played the Suns, Kobe Bryant faced the bag and sandwiched, and the long two points were also awkward. ”

After Yang Yi blew Li Ze, he suddenly remembered the Lakers' game...

Coach Carlisle on the sidelines quickly gave the players a gesture, signaling everyone to defend steadily and continue to maintain this defensive strategy.

The Mavericks' offense was also adjusted in this game, the coaching staff adjusted Caron Butler's possession, began to give the ball to Nowitzki more, and after playing two games, both sides also had a showdown, I just want to play star ball...

When Nowitzki received the ball in the right side of the waist, Marion cut inside again quickly, took Durant to the other side, noticed Nowitzki put the ball, Kostic immediately stepped forward to wrap it, Nowitzki flicked his wrist, and Dampier in the paint area received the pass and threw it with his right hand.

The 35-year-old veteran can play as a starting center for the Mavericks, and naturally there are two hits...

When Li Ze saw the somewhat active Dampier, he immediately made a gesture to the turtle, and at the same time shouted to his teammates on the field:

“Move！”

Next, the Thunder's offense began to score more and play, constantly mobilizing the Mavericks' defense, which was also the game strategy formulated by the coaching staff before the game.

The Thunder are actually very good at breaking through the ball, not only the trio have the ability to hold the ball, Jeff Green can sometimes make two strokes, can break through to the inside and cause fouls, after this consecutive bursts, Li Ze's right bottom corner received a pass from the turtle.

Caron Butler's defense immediately rotated in place, Li Ze first shook a false one, shaking the opponent's defensive center of gravity forward, and then quickly released the ball with his left hand, accelerated the breakthrough, and suddenly pulled back his crotch during the march, completely shaking off Caron Butler's defense, and made a mid-distance jumper.

"Huh..."Perfect offensive rhythm, two-point shot solid hit.

Because the Thunder's several outside shots after the opening were all hit, which made the Mavericks' defense dare not shrink too small, the offensive space on the court opened, the Thunder's offense became smoother and smoother, and the Mavericks did the same, relying on Nowitzki's excellent play, the scores of the two sides alternately lead.

This made the audience in the American Airlines Center arena extremely nervous, the offensive efficiency on both sides was too high, everyone was a projection team, and once the hand was opened, the game could be won or lost in a few rounds.

With 2 minutes and 58 seconds left in the first quarter, the Thunder took the lead in the rotation, with Sofrosa replacing Li Ze and Ibaka replacing Jeff Green.

In the remaining two minutes or so, Durant played a little depressed, and the offensive space on the court was instantly much smaller, which made the Mavericks' defense begin to shrink again, and he couldn't break through again.

Fortunately, after Ibaka came on the court, he contributed two mid-range shots, coupled with the turtle's long two points, the Thunder still withstood the last few minutes, 30:32, and the Mavericks temporarily led by two points.

Coach Carlisle also fought hard in this game, Nowitzki was replaced with 42 seconds left in the first quarter, and in this game, the Mavericks are going to fill up all the playing time of the main team.

In the second quarter of the rotation, Jason Terry and Barria came on the court at the same time, and Caron Butler, Marion, and Nowitzki were all on top, and the Mavericks completely put on an offensive lineup of one big and four small.

On the Thunder's side, there are 5 forwards, Li Ze continues to play the No. 1 position, and Jeff Green has a good hand in the first quarter, hitting a three-pointer, and he is on the court at this time, also to open up some offensive space.

The Thunder took the lead in attacking, and the audience began to shout loudly for the Mavericks' defense:

“Defense！ Defense！ Defense！ ”

After Li Ze dribbled through the half, he quickly passed the ball to Sofrosa on the right side outside the three-point line, and used Collisson's cover to make a simple UCLA cut, and the Mavericks' defensive attention was all focused on Li Ze, and Collison seized the opportunity to quickly cut into the air.

After receiving a pass from Soflosa, the Mavericks' defense slowed down by half a beat, and Collison immediately threw a shot near the paint area.

"Hmmm...", two points from the basket.

The Thunder's rotation lineup changed the game strategy in the first two games, starting to cut more without the ball, and sometimes even some blind chickens running around, after all, this set of tactics is not familiar to everyone, and it is normal to run out of place...

The Mavericks' offense began to rely on Jason Terry and Barria, with Nowitzki coming to the three-point line more to play high and playing, while the two small guards also expanded their offensive range and even began to block two steps beyond the three-point line.

But this effect is really good, Barria with the help of Nowitzki's cover, away from the three-point line, his right hand body changed direction, the left hand of the ball accelerated to break through, after getting rid of Li Ze's entanglement, continued to accelerate with all his strength, rushed to the Thunder team's restricted area.

Facing Collisson's block, the dexterous throwing was successful, Ibaka was pulled to the three-point line by Nowitzki, and the Thunder's rim protection ability instantly weakened a lot, and the opponent completely ate the Thunder's defense with speed.

After quickly sending out the baseline ball, Li Ze immediately gave the ball to Ibaka on the free throw line in the half court, pretended to move to the left, suddenly exerted force at his feet, quickly reversed, and after receiving Ibaka's pass, the realistic feint point outside the three-point line flew Marion.

Accelerating the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand, he noticed that Nowitzki had come up to help defend it, and his right hand in the middle of the march suddenly made a pass from behind, and accurately found the straight Ibaka, who received the ball and easily dunked it with both hands!

In the rotation phase of the second quarter, Li Ze strengthened his off-ball running, and also expanded his receiving range, which made his physical exertion more, but successfully revitalized the team, and after more than 4 minutes of the game, both sides changed all the main forces again.

The two sides completely started the offensive battle, and the three-pointers of both sides continued to score, which made the fans at home constantly exclaim, such a game was too exciting, and the two sides continued to alternate leads.

At halftime, 62:64, the Mavericks still led by two points.

At halftime, Coach Brooks didn't say much more tactical arrangements, and the Thunder's offense played very well in the first half, and he grasped all of his open three-pointers several times, trailing by two points, which can only show that the Mavericks' offense has also been completely opened...

"Guys, tonight is a great opportunity, ignore the two-point difference, there is still half-time, we have every chance to win this game, resolutely project, the opponent's joint defense can not shrink too small, we have to make good use of the offensive space on the field!"

"Come on, win this game, we'll be 3-0 ahead, there's no suspense in this series, guys, we're going to make it to the Western Conference Finals!"

After hearing Coach Brooks' encouraging words, everyone on the Thunder team was immediately excited, after all, it was the Western Conference Finals! Li Ze was also a little excited, it was rare for his teammates to be so powerful, this game must be won!

"Whew! 10,000, spitting, crushing, and logging tired! ”

After the start of the third quarter of the game, the two teams were completely crazy, the Thunder took the lead in attacking, the turtle dribbled across the halfcourt, and immediately gave the ball to Jeff Green in the elbow area on the left side of the free throw line.

One step outside the three-point line on the left side received a pass from Jeff Green, and without hesitation, he immediately jumped shot!

"Whew...", a long-range three-point shot is solid.

"Oh!!"

The audience at the American Airlines Center Arena erupted in a huge exclamation, such a projection was too scary... The Thunder took the lead again, and when they came back, Nowitzki once again came to the outside of the three-point line to cover the high post, and after Kidd broke through with his right hand after blocking and picking, he returned the ball to Nowitzki.

With a slight flick, Jeff Green jumped up instantly, dribbled with the ball in his left hand and quickly closed the ball, dangled again, flew Durant, adjusted his posture, and made a two-point jumper.

The two-pointer hit the ball steadily.

In the third quarter of the game, the two teams once again showed their outside firepower, long two points and three-pointers hit one after another, at this time the audience in the American Airlines Center Arena could only cheer for the home team, this game was too exciting, the audience was a little unbearable, and their hearts were pounding...

The two teams played almost the entire second half, and the fourth quarter of the game was even more scoreless, with the Mavericks replacing Haywood on their side and the Thunder replacing Ibaka on their side, and when the game had 42 seconds left, 112-113, the Mavericks still led by one point.

Carlisle called a timeout at this point, and the attack was crucial.

"Open up the offensive space, there are about 12 seconds left on the offensive time, cross screen, Dirk receives the ball in the elbow area or waist position, create a single opportunity, Heywood, do a good cover, don't foul!!"

After returning from the timeout, Kidd was firmly in control of the time, and the offensive time was worn out by second, and with 30 seconds left, Haywood and Nowitzki made a cross screen in the three-second zone.

After that, Nowitzki successfully received the ball in the left elbow area of the free throw line, and the other teammates quickly pulled away, and the Thunder team did not pinch at this time, and the Mavericks' outside three-point shooting was too accurate tonight...

After receiving the ball, Nowitzki faced Ibaka's defense, after three threats, a false feint, quickly released the ball with his right hand, and then suddenly turned around, accelerated with the ball in his left hand, met Ibaka's block, and threw a shot backwards.

"Whew..."2-pointer scored.

"Ahh

At this time, the American Airlines Center Arena was already boiling, and Cuban, the owner of the team sitting under the basketball hoop, was also flushed with excitement, leading by three points, with 20 seconds left in the game, victory in sight!

Coach Brooks quickly called a timeout, quickly drawing a tactical plan on the tactics board while loudly signaling to his players:

"It's the last timeout, guys, of course our first choice is three-pointers, move the ball patiently, we have plenty of time to attack, and of course if there is a quick two-point opportunity, we must take it!"

The high-intensity game made everyone in the Thunder team a little sluggish, but the tactics were simple and clear, and everyone immediately nodded to show that they understood.

In the 20-second offensive time, the Thunder first transferred the ball continuously on the outside, and when there were about 8 seconds left in the game, the turtle at the top of the arc suddenly changed direction, and before he could continue to make moves, Kidd immediately stepped forward to foul.

Carlisle still opted for a penalty shoot-out...

The turtle on the free throw line hit the first free throw steadily, adjusted his breathing on the second free-throw line, and shot steadily, but the ball hit the back edge of the basket and popped up directly.

Ibaka was squeezed and staggered and subconsciously slapped the ball out, at this time the court was chaotic, the audience was even more screaming, the turtle saw the opportunity, a hungry tiger pounced, got the ball, and subconsciously threw the ball to Li Ze outside the three-point line.

After receiving the ball, Li Ze reacted instinctively, without hesitation, one step away from the three-point line on the left side, and shot directly

The three-point shot hollowed into the net.

"Oh!!"

The crowd at the American Airlines Center Arena let out a chorus of exclamation, and with 2.3 seconds left in the game, the Thunder took a one-point lead.

"Ahh

Without waiting for Li Ze to pretend to be X, everyone in the Thunder team pounced on Li Ze, and the ball almost killed the game...
