Mavericks serve baseline balls.

Barria brought the ball over, and this time he didn't dare to underestimate Li Jie, but called Marion to come and block it.

Pick-and-roll is also one of the most successful tactics of the Mavericks in this series, because the Lakers players are simply spicy when defending pick-and-roll.

Jackson's idea was to delay the inside twin towers, and the consequence was that the twin towers were directly passed by Kidd or Barria in one step.

When these two guards burst into the interior, the Lakers will inevitably have someone to fill in. At this time, the Mavericks have a high success rate whether they feed Chandler or shoot three-pointers from the outside.

This time, they wanted to do it again.

Marion came over to block Li Jie, who had been defending Barria closely, and the Lakers still did the old way, with Ci Shiping delaying, and Li Jie following Marion to the low post.

However, this time Barria did not break through directly, but passed the ball to Marion in the low post.

"Hey, Sean, teach that rookie a lesson!"

It turned out that Barria suffered a loss from Li Jie and wanted his teammates to help him get back on the field.

“OK！” Marion nodded.

Big play small, although Marion's low post skills are not very good, but the Mavericks players all think that this is a solid ball.

Marion lifted the ball to his chest with his back, and after a probative moment, began to dribble into the box.

Li Jie also tied up his horse and pushed the other party out as much as possible.

"Oops!" After Marion arched a few times, he found that he only pushed the opponent back half a step, and did not advance directly to the basket as expected.

"This defender is scary!"

Seeing that the opponent couldn't arch, Li Jie also knew that it was Green's low-post defensive skills that played a role, and his heart was crooked.

"Hehe, I didn't expect it, I'll gain some weight in the summer, and then you can try again."

Helpless, Marion can only turn over and settle the fight with a hook hand. However, the ball bounced off the basket and fell and was picked up by Li Jie.

Seeing this, the Mavericks' players did not come up to scramble, and retreated directly.

And Li Jie, who got the rebound, did not start, but threw his arms on the spot and sent a pass that spanned the whole court.

In the frontcourt, Brown has run to the three-point line, and after receiving a pass from Li Jie, he rushed directly to the basket and scored an easy dunk.

73:101！

There are 7 minutes and 10 seconds left until the end of the race!

"Wow, Lee, what a perfect pass!"

In the process of returning to the defense, Brown excitedly high-fived Li Jie, and praised him by the way, because he knew who was the biggest contributor to this goal.

"Come on, we can turn the tables!"

Li Jie's response was more calm, Ji Cao, don't 6!

……

In less than 30 seconds, the Mavericks served the baseline ball again.

But as soon as the ball reached Kidd, he was led by Kobe Bryant.

Kobe Bryant's competitiveness did not allow the team to be swept away, and just now the Lakers chased 5 points in a row, which gave him hope of turning the tables, so he was forcing the opposing player from the beginning of the serve.

Although Kidd is one of the top five point guards in history, he is also very difficult to defend by Kobe.

After all, Kobe Bryant is also a perennial person who has been selected to the best defensive team all year round, but many times he has to be distracted to attack, and if he defends seriously, he is no worse than other players.

Kidd had been blocked by Bryant, and it was difficult to pass half court, and he was about to violate the rules for eight seconds, so he could only hurriedly pass the ball to Barria, who was receiving near the halfway line.

But as soon as the ball was shot, he knew it was broken, because a man suddenly appeared next to Barria and snatched the ball.

Green's super defensive anticipation ability allowed Li Jie to gain insight into Kidd's intentions in advance, and he started at the moment of his pass and successfully completed the steal.

This ball not only caused an exclamation from the audience, but also surprised the commentators.

CNTV's Yu Jia shouted: "Broken ......"

After completing the steal, Li Jie immediately rushed forward with the ball.

And Kobe, who was originally in the opponent's half, had already rushed to the opponent's penalty area first and was raising his hand to ask for the ball.

Zhang Weiping: "Xiao Li, give, give, give Kobe...... Oops, nonsense, how can you shoot three points! ”

A few seconds passed......

Director Zhang's voice sounded again: "Xiao Li is a good ball!" You said that he really dared to vote, and he could still get in if he voted! ”

That's right, Li Jie didn't choose to pass to Kobe Bryant because he felt that the two-point chase was too slow.

So he brought it over, pulled it up directly outside the opponent's three-point line, and shot three points.

Whew, the ball hollows into the net!

76：101！

There are 6 minutes and 55 seconds left until the end of the race!

Li Jie's goal made the originally lifeless Lakers bench boil in an instant.

Many players came to the sidelines excitedly, waving towels wildly.

Only Jackson sat calmly on the stool, as if everything was in his expectation.

In fact, he has long been happy in his heart!

The reason why the Lakers lost today was not because Nowitzki was too fierce, in fact he only scored 17 points, but because the Mavericks' three-point shooting was too accurate.

Terry shot 9-of-10 from three-point range and Peja shot 6-of-6. For comparison, Bryant made 0 of 5 three-point shots, Ci Shiping made 1 of 3 shots, Fisher shot 0 of 2, and Blake shot 1 of 4.

This hit rate, play a chicken!

Li Jie's two three-pointers let Jackson know that there are also people on the Lakers team who can shoot three-pointers.

What's more, this person was found by him from the tail end of the bench, but he didn't expect to become a cavalryman, which is really a stroke of genius.

Kobe, who witnessed this goal under the opponent's basket, although he complained in his heart about why Li Jie didn't pass the ball to him many times, he still came over and high-fived Li Jie very generously, and praised at the same time: "Very good, Li, keep playing like this, we will win!" ”

That's the way it is on the basketball court, as long as you get in, it's awesome, no matter how far away you shoot or how outrageous your posture is.

But if you don't get in, then it's another story, and you still have to scold, because not everyone is Curry.

The game continues.

When the baseline ball was served, two defenders, Kidd and Barria, came to receive the ball at the same time.

On the Lakers' side, Li Jie and Kobe Bryant also went to delay together, but this time there was no successful steal, and the other side passed the half with difficulty.

The Mavericks still play Barria and Marion blocking tactics.

But Li Jie had already taken precautions, and squeezed through it when blocking and dismantling, always sticking to Barria.

Barria had no choice, and it took 24 seconds to end before he threw a three-pointer against the defense and didn't score.

After the ball popped up, it was picked up by Li Jie again, and he directly launched a fast attack.

Near the halfway line, Lee observed that Brown was almost in the opposition box, and there were no defenders in front of him, and a base pass that pierced the crowd was sent out in time.

In the process of charging, Brown easily received the ball from Li Jie, and then kicked the ground with one foot, jumped up and smashed the ball into the basket.

"Bang dang!"

As the wail of the basket rang out, the Lakers pulled back two more points.

78:101！

There are 6 minutes and 25 seconds left until the end of the race!

The Lakers played a small 10:0 orgasm in less than 2 minutes!

Seeing that the momentum was not right, Carlisle, the head coach of the Mavericks, quickly called a timeout.

……

"Wow, dear Lee, when did you become so strong?"

Brown, who dunked two in a row, hugged Li Jie on the way back to the bench, pressed his head to his armpit and sucked hard.

"But you've got a really beautiful pass on these two balls, and each of them is at the top 10 level."

"Please, I can't breathe, I can't breathe......"

Li Jie was under Brown's armpit, pinching his nose with one hand and slapping the other's ass with the other, and struggled for a long time before he was able to get out.

"Do you think I want to pass the ball to you? It's not that your taste is too strong...... No, you're faster! ”

Li Jie complained in his heart that the other players of the Lakers were too old to play fast attack or not be able to play fast attack, only one young and strong Brown was willing to run, so he could only pass it to him.

Do you expect the aged Ci Shiping to rush to the front? Don't think about it, he doesn't dare to defend himself now, for fear of being stepped over.

That's why the Lakers are now trailing the Mavericks 3-0, they're too slow, too bulky, too old, and can't keep up with the pace of the Mavericks' players.

Mavericks on the bench.

Coach Carlisle looked at his players calmly, although the Lakers recovered a little point, he did not panic at all, and he still led by 23 points!

He just wanted to interrupt the opponent's momentum and prevent them from getting up.

However, his own offense also needs to be resolved, and the Lakers' eastern lad seems to have something to do defensively.

"Rick, do you want me to go?"

Perhaps sensing Carlisle's inner concerns, Terry took the initiative to ask.

He felt hot today, and it was not a problem to consciously break through Li Jie's defense.

“No！” Carlisle shook his head, he didn't think it was time to change to the main force yet.

Besides, Terry is not young anymore, he is now 34 years old, and he has to save some energy to play the next series.

In the end, Carlisle still didn't make any changes, and the Mavericks' lineup was still Kidd, Barria, Marion and others.
