I really can't handle the ball

Chapter 188
The game continued, the two sides were evenly matched, no one could take advantage of any advantages, and the scores took the lead alternately.

In this way, the first half of the game ended, and the score displayed on the big screen was 56 to 58. The Lakers led by 2 points and entered the second half of the game.

In the live commentary booth, Cole and his partner Mike Breen took advantage of the intermission to analyze the situation of the first half of the game for the fans in front of the TV.

"The first half of the game was very exciting. Both teams played their own styles, which made the fans very hooked. It has been a long time since I saw such an extreme confrontation game."

"Hahaha, Steve, you are right. The game is really exciting. Although the offense can win the audience, the defense can win the victory. If you want to break the deadlock in the second half, you must increase your defensive strength."

"Mike, what adjustments do you think the two sides will make." Cole asked.

"The Mavericks should focus on offense. After all, they don't have an advantage inside; the Lakers may strengthen their defense and gain the lead. They don't want to drag the Mavericks to the last moment. The more disadvantageous it is to the end."

Brin made a reasonable analysis based on the situation in the first half.

"Mike, I very much agree with your point of view, the game is about to start, we will wait and see!"

After Cole finished speaking, the screen switched to the playing field.

The second half of the game officially started, and the head coaches of both sides sent all the main players to play.

As soon as it came up, the Lakers' offense was very clear, that is, to force the inside to cause damage.

Nowitzki faced foul trouble, and when defending O'Neal, his movements were obviously restrained.

After receiving the pass, the Fathead Shark pushed Nowitzki away, turned around and came to the basket, and dunked the ball into the basket with both hands.

56: 60!

The ball is switched and the Mavericks attack.

Nowitzki came near the high position on the right, opened the empty penalty area, and created breakthrough opportunities for his teammates.

Seeing this situation, O'Neill was very entangled. He didn't know whether he should go out to defend, and couldn't help but cursed inwardly.

"Fuck! The Mavericks are so fucking fucked up."

Fathead Shark is extremely unwilling to play against the Mavericks again.

After seeing Nowitzki being emptied, Nash immediately passed the ball.

After the "driver" received the ball, before the defending players came, he jumped up and shot, and the action was done in one go.

Swish!
The basketball is hollow into the net and hits steadily!
58: 60!

Looking back, the Lakers repeated their old tricks and still played hard inside.

This time, Li Xuan rushed back quickly and surrounded O'Neal with Nowitzki.

Payton, who held the ball at the top of the arc, immediately passed the ball to the unguarded Medvedenko. After the latter received the ball, he made a long-range jumper.

58: 62!

Although the goal was scored by the Lakers, the Mavericks' defensive strategy remained unchanged.

A role player can kill the Mavericks and admit it!

The Mavericks immediately sent the baseline ball, and Nash quickly dribbled forward.

The Lakers' players retreated very quickly and did not give the Mavericks a chance to play a fast break.

Unable to succeed in the sneak attack, Nash slowed down his speed, came to the top of the arc, and organized an attack to fight positional warfare.

Nowitzki sprints out from the paint looking for an open shot.

"Fatty! You make me uncomfortable, I want to torture you too."

Seeing this, Fathead Shark sighed inwardly.

"Dirk, when is the time for retribution!"

On the sidelines, Phil Jackson gesticulated and shouted to the court: "Shaq, step forward and defend!"

After O'Neill heard it, he took heavy steps to catch up.

Li Xuan, who was outside the three-point line on the right, immediately started, squeezed away Medvedenko, and cut towards the basket.

Nash has quick eyesight and quick hands, hitting the ground and passing the ball.

After Li Xuan received the pass, he took a big step, took off with one foot, stretched his body, and made a dunking posture.

Kobe, who was still returning to the basket, saw that Li Xuan had risen into the air, so he could only let him attack the frame.

Bang!
Li Xuan dunked the ball hard into the basket with one hand.

60: 62!

"Good shot! Li Xuan's timing of the air cut is very good, which poses a problem for the Lakers." Cole analyzed.

On the court, O'Neal turned his head and spread his hands towards coach Phil Jackson on the sidelines, saying that the ball was none of his business.

Phil Jackson waved his hand, signaling O'Neal to play freely.

The Lakers attacked, and Payton dribbled the ball to the three-point line to observe the positioning of his teammates.

He found that the Mavericks changed their defensive strategy inside, and Nowitzki went around to defend Shaq.

"It's hard to do. If it doesn't work out, it's a mistake."

After Payton struggled, he passed the ball to Kobe on one side.

After chatting and catching the ball, he cursed secretly.

"Fuck! I finally thought of Lao Tzu."

Facing Lagabel's defense, Kobe immediately started and broke through to the inside.

Lagabell quickly slides laterally and stays close in front of Kobe.

Chatting didn't use those fancy breakthrough techniques, after all, he had no legs, and directly used his own good offensive methods.

When he broke through near the free throw line, he stopped suddenly, turned around and leaned against Lagabel, made a shoulder-shaking fake, shook Lagabel's center of gravity, and then suddenly turned over and shot a jumper.

At this time, Li Xuan also came to help defend and rushed to interfere, but it didn't work.

Swish!Hollow into the net!

60: 64!

After scoring the goal, Kobe said to Li Xuan in front of him: "Boy, you almost stopped me, keep going!"

Looking at the back of chatting away, Li Xuan smiled, and quickly ran to the frontcourt to participate in the attack.

The Mavericks' positional battle is still the same routine, and it depends on how the Lakers respond.

This time the Fathead Shark didn't follow, and still sat under the basket. The Lakers could only make quick defenses.

Nowitzki, who was in an open position, immediately encountered George's supplementary defense after receiving the ball.

Although he was able to play singles in a misplaced position, the "driver" chose to support in a high position.

He saw Lagabel, who was in an open position at the bottom corner, reaching out for the ball, but the distance was too far, and he was worried about being intercepted midway, so he did not risk passing the ball, but patiently waited for his teammates to move.

Li Xuan quickly passed Nowitzki, received the pass hand-to-hand, and dribbled towards the basket.

In the mid-range on the right, he encountered George's defense who switched defenses. He jumped up immediately, faked the pass, and passed the ball to the bottom corner.

Kobe was deceived by Li Xuan's fake move and failed to rush to the bottom corner to make up defense in the first place.

The unguarded Lagabel received the pass, raised the knife and hit a three-pointer.

63: 64!

On the next possession, the Lakers made a pass error.

Payton's intention to hang the inside line was too obvious, and was intercepted by Li Xuan.

The Mavericks launched a defensive counterattack, and Nash assisted Finley to hit a mid-range jumper, overtaking the score.

65: 64!

Looking back, Kobe wanted to rely on his personal ability to overtake the score again, but was interfered by Lagabel and shot hard.

Under the basket, Nowitzki struggled to get O'Neill behind him and grabbed the rebound.

Fathead Shark also wanted to grab the rebound, confronted the "driver" physically, and raised his hands to grab the rebound.

When the snipe and clam compete, the fisherman wins.

Li Xuan retreated to the basket, rushed to grab the backcourt rebound, turned around and dribbled the ball after landing, and passed the ball.

Fathead Shark looked at Li Xuan's back, feeling a little depressed.

"Fuck! Why is there that guy everywhere, Zhen Nima is my nemesis."

After cursing secretly, O'Neill began to run back and forth.

The Mavericks launched a defensive counterattack, Nash dribbled the ball to the three-point line, hit the ground and passed the ball.

After receiving the pass, Finley broke through to the basket, and after a physical confrontation with the chasing Kobe, he threw the ball to the basket.

The basketball knocked out of the frame, was snatched by Li Xuan who followed up, and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand.

67: 64!

Deafening cheers and shouts erupted from the auditorium, and the warm atmosphere in the arena reached its peak again.

Seeing that the form was wrong, Phil Jackson immediately requested a timeout and recalled the players to make adjustments.

"There is no problem with our tactics, continue to execute, and then we will break through to the basket more, make fouls, beat the German down, and we will be able to win."

After Phil Jackson finished speaking, he immediately wrote and drew on the tactical board, arranging tactics.

On the other side, the Mavericks are on the bench.

"Speed ​​up the counterattack and make the opponent exhausted so that we can take the initiative.

In addition, Dirk pays attention to controlling the number of fouls, and they should attack you for this. "Old Nelson said.

"Okay, coach."

Nowitzki nodded and answered.

Not long after, the timeout ended and the game continued.

As soon as he came up, Payton broke through to the basket with the help of Medvedenko's cover.

Li Xuan, who was standing near the penalty area, immediately moved laterally to block Payton's breakthrough route.

Payton immediately passed the ball to Medvedenko who cut towards the basket. After receiving the ball, the latter threw the ball to the basket in the face of Nowitzki's defense.

Li Xuan, who rushed back to the basket, took off quickly, intercepted the pass in the air, and completed the steal.

After landing, Li Xuan immediately flicked the ball forward.

Finley, who had already been on a fast break, received the pass, rushed to the basket first, and easily hit the layup.

69: 64!

The ball is switched and the Lakers attack.

Kobe actively stuck in the high position on the right to ask for the ball, and decided to break the scoring shortage by himself.

Seeing this, Payton immediately passed the ball.

At this time, it is most suitable for Kobe to attack.

After receiving the pass, Lao Ke leaned his back against Lagabel, then made a fake shoulder shake, then suddenly turned his back and passed by Lagabel, rushing towards the basket.

Seeing this, Li Xuan near the penalty area immediately stepped forward to defend.

Bryant encountered front and rear pincers, the best choice was to pass the ball, but he chose the worst way to handle the ball.

Against the defense of the two, he threw the ball with a fadeaway jumper.

Bang bang!Fight with anger!
Under the basket, O'Neal grabbed the offensive rebound, relied on Nowitzki to force a layup and scored.

69: 66!

In the following games, both sides scored points, and the game was extremely intense and anxious.

In this way, the third quarter ended, and the score on the big screen was 84 to 80. The Mavericks led by 4 points and entered the fourth quarter.

After a short break, the fourth quarter began.

As soon as he came up, Li Xuan ran to the three-point line and hit a three-pointer with the help of Nowitzki's cover, further expanding the score.

Looking back, under the attack of Li Xuan and Nowitzki, O'Neal hit the inside and missed, and the Mavericks launched a defensive counterattack.

Nash dribbled towards the basket, encountered defense, and immediately threw the ball behind him.

Li Xuan, who just ran beyond the three-point line, received the pass, pulled it up without hesitation, and threw the basketball in his hand.

Swish!Hollow into the net!

90: 80!

"Lee hit a chasing three-pointer and expanded the score to double digits. If the Lakers don't make adjustments, this game will be impossible to play." Cole explained excitedly.

The game continued and the Lakers attacked.

In order to preserve his strength, Kobe asked his teammates to make an off-ball screen, then ran beyond the three-point line, received a pass from Payton, and hit a three-pointer to stop the decline.

Before the Lakers players could breathe a sigh of relief, the Mavericks counterattacked quickly.

Li Xuan used the cover to cut outside the three-point line, received the pass, saw Kobe rushing to defend, hit the ground and passed the ball.

Nowitzki near the free throw line received the pass, hit a mid-range jumper and scored 2 points.

After Meizizi received an assist, Li Xuan said to Kobe in front of him: "Boss, basketball is a five-person sport. One person may win a victory, but it is impossible to win all the games."

Seeing that Kobe didn't respond, Li Xuan turned back to defend and reminded him.

"If the goal of the boss is the championship, then you can't beat the Mavericks alone, we are very strong!"

Kobe was stunned after hearing this, didn't think much, and then ran to the frontcourt to participate in the offense.

Payton dribbled the ball to the top of the arc. Seeing that O'Neal had no chance inside, he didn't pass the ball rashly, waiting for his teammates to move.

Kobe quickly moved without the ball and cut to the basket with the help of his teammates.

Seeing this, Li Xuan immediately broke out and ran towards the basket at the fastest speed.

At this time, Chat received a pass from Payton, broke into the penalty area, soared into the air, pulled the lever in the air to avoid Nowitzki's interference, and threw the ball to the basket.

The praying mantis was catching the cicada, and the oriole was behind. Li Xuan saw the timing, jumped up vigorously, and waved his long arms to cover the basketball.

Clap!
Li Xuan slapped the basketball on the backboard and firmly controlled the basketball.

After landing, Li Xuan immediately slammed the ball toward the frontcourt, and then ran forward.

Finley, who was on a fast break, received the pass, rushed into the penalty area, soared into the air, and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand.

94: 83!

On the sidelines, Lakers coach Phil Jackson immediately requested a timeout, allowing the players to return to the bench to adjust and rearrange tactics.

Back on the bench, Kobe was very angry at this time, took the towel handed over by his teammates and slammed it on the ground.

Seeing this, other Lakers players stayed away immediately, fearing that innocent people would be hurt.

O'Neill could tell the difference between the serious and the serious, and didn't step forward to taunt, but drank the nutrient solution on his own.

Coach Phil Jackson frowned and didn't step forward to persuade.

Kobe has played very well in this game. As for whether he can win, this is a problem for the team.

After Kobe, who was sitting on the bench, vented, his head calmed down and he fell into deep thought.

The Lakers are regarded as the favorites to win the championship this season. After experiencing the trough at the beginning of the season, the team is on the right track and urgently needs a game to prove its strength.

The Mavericks, currently ranked No. [-] in the Western Conference, are the best opponents.

No matter what the reason, he was bound to win this game, but he suffered another blow and couldn't accept defeat at all.

At this time, Nao Ke suddenly recalled Li Xuan's words, and felt that they made sense. For the victory of this game, he felt that he temporarily gave up the previous grievances.

In fact, the cauliflower snake and the fat-headed shark did not have the "Shaq did it too" incident in this time and space, and the relationship would not be like an enemy like in the previous life, and there is still a chance for relaxation.

After making up his mind, Kobe stood up and came to coach Phil Jackson, and said firstly, "Coach, I've adjusted and I can play."

Phil Jackson glanced at Kobe who recovered his fighting spirit in surprise, smiled, patted Chatter on the shoulder and said, "Then let's win this damn victory together!"
