"Since the bag can't solve the problem, let's attack, as long as the score is higher than the opponent, the victory is still ours." After the defense failed, Li Jie muttered to himself.

After dribbling past halftime, facing DeSean Stevenson's defense, he called Bynum again to block it.

In fact, if he chooses to play alone, the success rate is also quite high, and letting his teammates come over to block and dismantle just wants to increase their sense of participation, or it is not interesting to play four people by one person.

The Mavericks made a substitution every time they were blocked, and Bynum blocked Stevenson, allowing Li Jie to face the opposing center Chandler directly.

Perhaps because he was afraid of Li Jie's breakthrough, Chandler did not post it, but left a distance of nearly one meter. Faced with such an opportunity, Li Jie didn't think much about it and decisively shot outside the three-point line.

Wow, the ball goes in the pocket and flips!

10:17！

"Whew~" The Staples Arena suddenly resounded with deafening cheers.

In the first few minutes, Nowitzki scored seven points in a row, and the fans thought the game was hanging, and the scene was as quiet as a library.

Now the Lakers finally have someone to step up and score, although it is not Kobe, but it can narrow the difference.

Turning around, Nowitzki took the ball in the middle distance, and before Li Jie could get over, he broke through to the basket with the ball in the face frame and scored two points.

10:19！

It stands to reason that this action does not belong to his conventional weapon, but it is able to enter, which shows that he is in good condition today and has a strong desire to win.

In the face of such an opponent, Li Jie did not choose to compete with him, but showed his omnipotence.

Three-pointers, breakouts, passes, defenses, steals, rebounds......

If you have the opportunity, you can attack by yourself, your teammates will pass when they have better opportunities, and if you can wrap up on the defensive end, you will be ready to grab rebounds if you can't get it, in case he can't shoot!

If Nowitzki is an ADC that is crazy about harvesting heads, then Li Jie is a hexagonal jungler with all-round strength, who can not only C himself, but also lead his teammates.

The two sides go back and forth like this, you score a goal, I also return one, the difference has not been opened, and it is still maintained at about 10 points.

Fortunately, the god of war Nowitzki also has a weakness, that is, physical fitness. After all, he is 33 years old, and he has been attacking, which is very exhausting.

With just two minutes left in the first quarter, Carlisle replaced Nowitzki for a break.

Li Jie seized this opportunity and, together with Odom, led the Lakers' bench to narrow the gap to five points.

33:38, this is the score of the first quarter, and both sides hit high percentages.

The Mavericks were able to score so many points because of Nowitzki, who scored 22 points alone.

The Lakers' high shooting rate is because they played more reasonably, and everyone played under Li Jie's tandem, and Li Jie himself scored 8 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists in all-round data.

Just two minutes into the second quarter, Nowitzki came back and didn't dare to rest more.

Because after he went off the court, the Mavericks' bench players performed poorly on the offensive end and frequently hit iron. On the other hand, the Lakers, under the leadership of Li Jie, have chased the score to only 2 points.

Then the Mavericks pulled the score away again!

What is a leader on the pitch? He's the kind of guy who can make an impact on the game when he's not on the ball.

Nowitzki is undoubtedly in this position, after he came on the court, because he had a few minutes of rest before, he felt a little cold, and he didn't score two shots in a row.

But because he was on the field, Terry, Barria and others, who were still very iron just now, suddenly became accurate. These guys scored back-to-back points to fill Nowitzki's gap.

In addition, Li Jie also arrived at the point and was going to rest, and the Mavericks gradually stretched the score to about 10 points.

At halftime, the Lakers trailed the Mavericks by nine points at 54:63.

In this quarter, the shooting percentages of both sides dropped, but to get that score at half time is considered high in the playoffs.

TNT Studios.

Kenny Smith: "OK, we're halfway through the great game, so we're going to pick the best players from each team. Charles, I choose the Mavericks, you choose the Lakers. ”

Barkley laughed and scolded, "Fxxk you, Kenny, you're digging a hole for me again!" ”

Kenny Smith: "Hahaha, I know you like a challenge, right, Charles, I know you......"

Ross Barkley: "The Lakers are the Lakers, I, Barkley, am not afraid!" ”

Why are the Lakers a pit? Because they had two players who played very well, Li Jie scored 11 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists in the half, while Kobe Bryant chipped in 19 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists.

Whoever is voted the best player of the half will not be satisfied with the fans of the other side.

In the future life, you will definitely be cyberbullied!

If you don't choose my brother, are you sick? Explain without eyes?

And the Mavericks' side is very easy to choose, and whoever chooses is Nowitzki, there is no dispute.

Half a minute later......

Kenny Smith: "Charles, did you pick it?" ”

Barkley: "Alright! ”

Kenny Smith: "So I'll start with my choice, the Mavericks' best player in the half is Dirk. What about yours, Charles? Hahaha! ”

Barkley: "Huh...... I guess the Lakers' best player in the half should be...... Plum. ”

Kenny Smith: "Why? I think the audience in front of the TV also has this question, why did you choose a substitute? ”

Ross Barkley: "I think the best player should be the one who has the most impact on the game, not the one with the best stats. ”

"Lee's performance in the first half was seen by everyone, not only did he score, but he also led his team-mates. And after he went off, the Lakers were pulled away, and that's what he did. I think Lee is as important to the Lakers as Dirk is to the Mavericks. ”

Kenny Smith: "Charles, I have to say, your analysis is very reasonable, I hope the fans in front of the TV will agree with you, hahaha!" ”

……

Lakers locker room!

Although Phil Jackson didn't hear the comments from TNT, he watched the game in the first half, and he knew very well who played well and who didn't.

So, as soon as he returned to the locker room, it was announced that Li Jie would replace Fisher as the starter in the second half.

"Lee, you played very well in the first half, keep playing like this in the second half, keep it up, we will definitely win."

After Jackson encouraged Lee, he said loudly to the others: "Listen, guys, that German won't always be so accurate, and the offensive efficiency will definitely drop in the second half." ”

"And he's 33 years old, so I ask you to keep him in the second half and play against whoever is defending. Drain his stamina and we'll win! ”

Li Jie heard this tactic next to him and thought that there was nothing wrong with consuming Nowitzki, but who would consume it?

Gasol and Odom are the ones who defend Novitzki, but they are not much smaller than Novisky, so don't make it happen that the opponent doesn't collapse when the time comes, and they collapse first.

The second half started quickly.

Lakers ball possession, Li Jie went to receive the serve,

To be honest, being a starter is really a bit unaccustomed to him.

In the first few games, he watched others play, and before he came on the court, he already had a certain understanding of his teammates and opponents, and knew what to do to do the right thing.

I want to give you a little time to revise before the exam.

But now that this advantage is gone, you need to judge the facts according to the situation on the field, which tests your personal ability even more.

And after the start, how to get along with teammates is also a problem.

He was the strongest scorer when he came off the bench, and no one said how many times he shot.

It's not the same with the starters, especially the Lakers, where there are too many scoring points, while basketball is just that, the more shots you take, the fewer others, and it's important to distribute the ball properly.

No, the one who grabbed the ball is here!

After Li Jie dribbled past half court, Kobe Bryant immediately came over to help him block the dismantling.

made him happy in his heart, thinking that his performance in the first half had impressed the team boss, and the other party was willing to assist him.

Unexpectedly, after Kobe Bryant finished blocking and dismantling, he immediately ran to the top of the arc and asked for the ball.

It turned out that Kobe Bryant came to block and pick, just to force the Mavericks to change defenses, and then swapped the defender in front of him from Kidd to Stevenson.

He played hard against Kidd, but Stevenson was different.

Faced with this situation, Li Jie was also helpless, so he could only pass the ball honestly.

He finally realized Fisher's difficulty, it turned out that it was not easy to be a tool man who dribbled past half court.

After Kobe Bryant got the ball, he first put on a three-threat move, but only stomped his foot, broke through from the right side, came to the free throw line and took a step in, stopped sharply, leaned back, and scored the ball steadily.

"This ball is simply picturesque!" Li Jie commented from the VIP viewing seat on the stadium.
