I really can't handle the ball

Chapter 97
"Li, how is your physical strength? Can you continue to compete?"

Old Nelson asked with concern about Li Xuan who returned to the bench from the field.

In this game, Li Xuan devoted too much energy on the defensive end, helping to defend the opponent's teammate with the ball all the time. Old Nelson was worried that he would be exhausted and unable to continue playing in the next game.

"Coach, I'm still physically strong and can continue to play."

Li Xuan responded with a smile on his face, and then replaced the Gatorade handed over by the trainer with the [functional drink] produced by the system, drank it all in one go, and slowly recovered his physical fitness.

Old Nelson saw that Li Xuan's physical fitness was fine, so he called his teammates together and began to arrange tactics.

"On the defensive end, we need to strengthen the defense on the outside, not to give the Timberwolves an open shot, and at the same time resolutely double-team Garnett to limit his offense.

On the offensive end, after Lee restrained Garnett, Dirk had to be resolute in the low singles, passing the ball in time when he was double-teamed, and other players cut to the basket and attacked the frame when they had the opportunity. "

After the old Nelson arranged the tactics, he asked the players to rest for a while and prepare to play.

After a while, the referee blew his whistle to signal players from both sides to play.

The timeout ends and the game continues.

The Mavericks made substitution adjustments, replacing Finley and replacing Lagabel to strengthen the perimeter defense.

The Timberwolves are still the original team, and they plan to fight the Mavericks.

The ball is switched and the Mavericks attack.

Nash dribbles to the top of the arc to organize the offense and observe the position of his teammates.

Li Xuan still came to the bottom corner to ambush, did not actively move, looked at Garnett who was staring at him, and shook his head helplessly.

Seeing this, the corners of Garnett's mouth rose, and he began to crackle and talk trash.

"Rookie, you're finally feeling impatient. I thought you were as emotionless as the Spurs stone."

"Now you know the gap between me and you! I can score easily, but you can only hold back the defense."

Li Xuan ignored Garnett's trash talk, calmed down, waited for the opportunity, and gave the Timberwolves a fatal blow.

Without Garnett's double-team defense, Nowitzki singled out Madsen and hit a solid jumper.

In the next few rounds, both sides scored and scored, and the point difference remained within 5 points.

In the last attack of the third quarter, "Madman" Sprewell broke through and entered the inside line. Facing the Mavericks' two-man defense, he used difficult moves to score the ball and tied the score.

In the fourth quarter, the main players of the two teams who had played the entire third quarter rested off the court to recover their strength, while on the court, the substitutes of the two teams played happily.

The Mavericks' bench is slightly stronger. After all, with Jamison, the nominal starter, the overall level is still evenly divided.

After playing for about 4 minutes in the fourth quarter, the head coaches of both sides replaced the main lineup for the final fight.

In the beginning, both teams strengthened their defensive strength. Li Xuan and Garnett, the two major defense masters, were very active on the court, which caused the shooting percentage of the two teams to drop, and the game turned into an iron battle again.

As time passed, such a fight with iron continued until the last 2 minutes left in the fourth quarter.

At this moment, Li Xuan's mind suddenly remembered the prompt voice of the system.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for fulfilling the activation condition of the skill [Fatal Strike], and the skill is now activated."

After hearing this, Li Xuan's spirit was shaken, and he finally reached the condition to activate the magic skill. In this game, he may not be able to complete the lore.

"In the past few minutes, both teams failed to score. The current score is still 82 to 81. The game is extremely anxious. Whoever breaks the deadlock first will take the initiative. It is very likely that there will be a lore. Famous scene!" The live commentator shouted excitedly.

Back to the game, the Timberwolves have the ball.

Cassell dribbles the ball across the half court to Garnett who asks for the ball high up on the right.

In the decisive stage, the tactics arranged by the head coaches of both sides basically let the star players in the team end the offense.

Garnett singled Nowitzki with the ball frame, made a three-threat move, took a tentative step, and observed the position of the nasty rookie.

Seeing that Li Xuan didn't come to help defend, Garnett leaned his back against Nowitzki, and immediately turned over and shot a jumper.

After the basketball hit the front edge of the rim and bounced, it fell straight into the rim.

82: 83!

Looking back, Nowitzki returned a turnaround jumper to help the Mavericks regain the lead.

In the next round, Garnett was double-teamed and passed the ball to Sprewell. The "Madman" faced Finley's defense and hit the iron with a three-pointer.

The Mavericks protected the rebound, and Nash dribbled the ball to outside the three-point line to organize the offense.

When the attack time is still seven or eight seconds, pass the ball to Nowitzki to end the attack.

After receiving the ball, the "driver" shook for a while, then turned over and made a jump shot, but was interfered by Garnett who came to help defend, and failed to hit.

Li Xuan rushed to the basket and grabbed a key rebound on Olowokandi's head, passed it to the outside Nash, and reorganized the offense.

After spending another 20 seconds or so, Finley got a chance from the outside line, but failed to grasp it, and made a shot.

This time Garnett retreated to the basket and grabbed a defensive rebound. Coach Saunders immediately requested a timeout.

At this time, there are about 28 seconds left before the end of the game.

After returning from the timeout, Garnett held the ball in a high position on the right, and Cassel passed by him, and after receiving the ball hand-in-hand, he ran out of the three-point line to shoot.

Nash was hung up by Garnett and failed to catch up with Cassel, and the Mavericks players did not expect the Timberwolves to be so bold that they chose to shoot a three-pointer.

"Shh!"

The basketball is hollow into the net and hits steadily!
84: 86!

After the Timberwolves scored this offense, there were 8 seconds left before the end of the game.

There was silence in the auditorium. The fans' palms were wet with sweat, and they didn't dare to breathe. They silently cheered for the home team.

On the sidelines, Old Nelson immediately asked for a timeout, called the players back, and arranged for the last attack.

"Lee, you screen for Steve and shoot if Steve gets an open shot.

If there is no chance, Lee cuts to the hoop, attracts Garnett's defense, and Steve passes the ball to Dirk, allowing Dirk to finish the offense. "

The players of the Mavericks nodded without any opinion, and the last ball was naturally let the team boss to shoot.

After a while, the referee blew his whistle to signal players from both sides to play.

On the way to the playing field, Li Xuan moved closer to Nash and whispered, "Steve, if Dirk doesn't have a chance, you can trust me, I will definitely not let you down."

Nash glanced at Li Xuan beside him in surprise, not knowing his confidence, but still nodded, expressing that he would pass the ball to the best position.

After the timeout ended, the game restarted, and everyone looked solemn.

Nowitzki stands out of bounds, ready to throw the throw-in.

Garnett, who was sweating profusely, stepped forward to obstruct him. He knew very well that the last attack of the Mavericks must be to arrange the soft guy in front of him to shoot, so his task was very difficult.

In the face of Garnett's interference, the "driver" took a lot of effort to pass the ball to Nash who stepped forward to respond.

Li Xuan quickly stepped forward to cover for Nash, and after the pick-and-roll cooperation was successful, he quickly cut to the basket.

With the help of a cover, Nash quickly broke through the three-point line, came to the free throw line and was blocked by Timberwolves small forward Trent, seeing that there was no good chance to shoot, he immediately chose to pass the ball.

Nash observed the position of his teammates from the corner of his eye. Seeing that Nowitzki was tightly entangled by Garnett in the high position on the right, unable to pass the ball, he couldn't help thinking of Li Xuan's words in his mind, and planned to take a gamble. I believe this little rookie can create miracles.

So, he found Li Xuan's figure and immediately passed the ball over.

Li Xuan, who had cut to the basket before, saw that Garnett was not attracted by him and knew that the tactic he formulated had not been successful, so he changed direction and ran towards the left three-point line.

Li Xuan, who ran beyond the three-point line, just received the pass, immediately jumped up and shot, and at the same time activated the active effect of the skill [Fatal Blow].

Garnett, who quickly rushed to help defend, rushed forward and stretched his arms to interfere.

Seeing this situation, Li Xuan, who was jumping in the air, was slightly distorted in his shooting action, and it also made him lean back more to avoid being blocked by Garnett.

After the shot, Li Xuan's center of gravity was unstable, and he sat down on the floor, but with a joyful smile on his face, he even raised his arms high to celebrate the goal in advance.

Garnett, who failed to block the shot, looked at Li Xuan on the ground with a dark face. He didn't know what was wrong with the rookie. The ball was still flying in the air, so he made a gesture of celebration. He was really not afraid of being slapped in the face!

The basketball draws a perfect arc in the air.

Swish!Hollow into the net!

87: 86!

At the same time, the lights came on, and the buzzer sounded at the end of the game, without giving the Timberwolves any chance to counter the lore.

The commentator of the Mavericks stood up excitedly and shouted loudly: "Lee, the three-point lore beat the Minnesota Timberwolves!"
