Chapter 5: The suspense of the game resumes

Li Jie's breakthrough also made the fans at the Mavericks' home stadium let out bursts of wails!

"What the fxxk, this guy is too accurate!"

"Oops, only 13 points!"

"This guy is really a rookie, didn't he play a playoff game, why is he so strong?"

"We were very accurate in the first three quarters, and now it's their turn!"

So far, Li Jie has played 4 minutes and 23 seconds, scoring 11 points and 3 assists on 4-of-4 shooting.

On the court, the Mavericks' players were also a little confused, just like the Lakers players who were stupid by them in the first half.

However, Nowitzki was calm, he immediately clapped his hands and yelled at his teammates: "Don't panic, guys, we are still ahead, cheer up." ”

Marion next to him said with some hesitation: "Dirk, their three-point shooting is very accurate, especially the rookie from the East, we can't seem to limit him." ”

"That's true, but we have to calm down first, he can't shoot every ball!"

The game continues, and the Mavericks possess the ball.

After Kidd dribbled past half court, he hung directly to Nowitzki, who was inside, and let him single Ci Shiping.

And Marion also ran to the other side of the court, took Li Jie away, and didn't let him go to help defend.

Because of the height gap, Nowitzki easily scored two points on Ci Shiping's head after using his unique stunt "Golden Rooster Independence".

89:104!

There were 3 minutes and 38 seconds left until the end of the race.

This goal not only broke the Mavericks' scoring drought, but also made the audience excited again, and they chanted in unison: "MVP, MVP, MVP!" ”

Kuban was even more excited to stand up and play a set of monkey punches!

Lakers offense.

After Li Jie dribbled past half court, in the shouts of "defend" from the fans, a blow passed to Ci Shiping, who scored two more points on a layup.

The whole process took only 10 seconds.

91:104 with 3:28 left.

When it was the Mavericks' turn to attack, they wanted to repeat the old trick and let Nowitzki single.

But as soon as Kidd passed the ball, Li Jie's loud shouts rang out on the field, "Bao Jiao, the others will be handed over to me!" ”

Hearing this, the other teammates didn't care about being dominated by a rookie, and Brown, who was closest to him, immediately gave up his defender and rushed towards Nowitzki.

The ball was passed, and Bryant made up for Brown's position to prevent Terry from shooting easily.

The Mavericks' players were patient, and Terry passed to Kidd again, and Lee Jay pounced again.

Kidd also wanted to pass to Marion again, but the ball was broken out of bounds by Lee Jay in the air.

The Lakers' players were excited to complete this defense, high-fived each other, and encouraged each other, and nothing boosted morale more than a successful defense.

After such a toss, the Mavericks' offensive time was also ready to run out, and after the ball was released, Terry hurriedly shot a three-pointer and didn't score.

Conversion of possession.

Li Jie finally experienced the benefits of playing point guard, he can deal cards to whoever he wants, and attack himself if he doesn't want to do it.

No, he once again ignored Kobe's gesture to ask for the ball and motioned for Gasol to come over and block him.

The Mavericks are also changing when they are defending the pick-and-roll, and Gasol takes Terry away, leaving Li Jie and Chandler 1v1.

Li Jie was beaten by the other side just now, and now he finally has the opportunity to return it.

He breaks through on the right side, near the free throw line, and then changes to the left.

Chandler was afraid of being passed by, and kept a certain distance when defending, leaving room for Li Jie to operate.

After Li Jie burst to the basket, he came to a high board layup, hit, and made the block-hearted Chandler pay a foul, 2+1!

"Yay~!"

After entering, Li Jie immediately made a celebration to show off his muscles in the audience, which was exchanged for a scolding of Mi Guoguo.

He didn't mind, high-fived his teammates with a smile on his face, and walked to the free throw line.

Lee's free throws should have been a blend of Poole's, not Green's, so it was easy to score.

94:104!

With 2 minutes and 48 seconds left until the end of the game, a 10-point gap, the suspense of the game is back!

Turning around, Kidd and Chandler played a pick-and-roll, then passed an open catch to help the Mavericks recover two points.

94:106 with 2 minutes and 30 seconds left.

The ball came to Li Jie's hand again, and when he dribbled the ball over half the court again, he still wanted his teammates to pull away and give him a single, but he heard the sound of someone asking for the ball:

"Hey, Lee, give me the ball!"

Li Jie turned his head over, just wanted to see who was so ignorant of current affairs, and his brother felt just right!

Unexpectedly, he saw Kobe's murderous gaze, glaring at him like an enemy, as if to say: "Are you kid floating, can't you tell the difference between the big and the small?" ”

Li Jie pursed his lips and could only pass the ball honestly.

This is the boss of the team, you really can't mess with it, or tomorrow there will be no one left, no matter how good your performance is.

No matter how crazy Green is, he only dares to hit Poole, and you let him mess with Curry?

After receiving it near the bottom left corner, Bryant turned around and faced Kidd, who was constantly reaching out to interfere with him, first stomping his foot on the spot and making a triple threat move.

Seeing that the opponent was unmoved, he immediately accelerated to break through from the right side, and after coming to the penalty area, facing the Mavericks' multi-person encirclement, a big pull rod, and after falling to the ground, he scored the ball in a daze, and also caused Kidd's foul and added a penalty.

Zhang Weiping: "Ouch, this ball is really not easy, Kobe's body is sideways, you look at his ability to stay in the air, this is personal ability, this is a superstar." ”

Yu Jia: "A very wonderful goal, are the players defending him asleep?" ”

Seeing Kobe Bryant fall to the ground, Li Jie showed his true colors, and was the first to rush over and pull him up, and said by the way: "A very beautiful ball, continue to play like this, we will definitely win." ”

After Kobe Bryant got up, he shook his body and slowly walked to the free throw line.

The home fans are making a lot of noise, and they want to distract Kobe Bryant with it. But Kobe Bryant hadn't seen any big winds and waves, and he scored the ball easily.

97:106!

There were 2 minutes and 10 seconds left until the end of the race.

In the subsequent game, the Lakers players, who had already played with momentum, blocked the Mavericks' offense for three more rounds.

In particular, Kobe Bryant and Ci Shiping, two veterans over 30 years old, worked very hard, and in the face of the Mavericks' fast passes, they kept running and changing defenses, and did not let the Mavericks' players have a chance to shoot easily.

On offense, Li Jie not only scored a three-pointer himself, but also assisted Kobe Bryant and Ci Shiping to score two goals.

With 31 seconds left in the game, the Lakers finally chased the score to 106:106 and the two sides were tied.

Mavericks head coach Carlisle had no choice but to use the last timeout.

On the bench, Nowitzki, who is usually very gentle, suddenly said to Carlisle and other teammates with a gloomy face: "Give me the ball later, I'll finish them!" ”

Tonight, he watched his team take a 30-point lead, thinking it was a sure win, only to see the 30-point advantage being eaten away step by step.

The clay man has three points of fire, let alone him!

And at the last moment, carrying the team on his shoulders is the arrogance that a star player should have.

Seeing Nowitzki speak, Carlisle didn't say anything, but nodded, and then took the tactics board and drew a tactic for him.

Pause back.

Marion serves the ball from the sideline, and when Kidd gets the ball, he first consumes time on the outside and starts when there are only 10 seconds left in the attacking game.

At this point, Chandler made an off-ball cover for Nowitzki on the inside and asked him to pocket to catch the ball.

Nowitzki received the ball in the mid-range position on the right, and in the face of Gasol, who switched over, he chose to break down on the right.

As soon as he took a step, he had a physical confrontation with Gasol, who was moving sideways, and I don't know if he was too strong or Gasol didn't stand firm.

In short, this knocked Gasol into a stumble, and Nowitzki took the opportunity to turn back and throw the ball into steadily.

106:108!

The Mavericks once again led by two points with nine seconds left before the end of the game.
