Legendary basketball manager

Mavericks attack.

Nowitzki stepped down at the free throw line and opened his hands for the ball.

Kidd hit the ground and passed the ball to Nuo Tianwang accurately.

The location of the free throw line is very delicate.

Holding the ball in this position is very vulnerable to double-teaming.

But high risk also means high reward.

If the ball handler has a strong ability to handle the ball, it will be easier to create opportunities at the free throw line.

Nowitzki did not rush to attack after receiving the ball, but observed the reaction of the Lakers players.

Seeing that they had no intention of double-teaming, Nuo Tianwang resolutely chose to play singles.

He first hit the back a few times in the direction of the penalty area.

When Gasol focused on the physical confrontation, Nowitzki suddenly changed his move, retreated half a step, and raised his right knee at the same time, and the golden rooster shot independently...

"Shu~"

Basketball hit the net.

70: 64!

The next possession, the Mavericks followed suit, passing the ball to Nowitzki at the free throw line.

The Lakers still adopt a single-defense tactic, and no one is going to help Gasol defend.

Seeing this, Nuo Tianwang immediately decided to continue playing singles.

He put the ball in front of his chest, leaned back slightly, and felt Gasol's defense with his back.

The next moment, Nuo Tianwang turned around and dribbled the ball.

While down the ball, his ball protector reached behind Gasol and pulled on the latter's waist.

Gasol instantly leaned forward, while Nowitzki used his strength to break forward.

In just a short moment, Nuo Tianwang simply and neatly completed the extraordinary.

The speed is so fast that it doesn't look like a big man of about two meters one at all, but more like a wing player.

Then Nowitzki took three steps and went straight to the basket.

Lakers center Bynum had no choice but to shrink the inside line to help make up the defense.

But this also means that the Chandler he defended was emptied!

Nowitzki was not greedy for offense, flicked his wrist and passed the ball into the air.

The next moment, the boxing champion rose into the air and caught Nuo Tianwang's wonderful pass in the air...

"bang!"

70: 66.

With Chandler's powerful one-handed dunk, the difference between the two sides was only 4 points.

Phil Jackson on the sidelines saw something bad and immediately called a timeout.

Shen Fei, who was watching the game, was also a little surprised to see Zen Master's reaction like this.

In my impression, Phil Jackson's coaching style is very Buddhist, and there are very few hasty timeouts.

Even in critical games, when the team encounters problems, he prefers to let the players solve the problems themselves.

[It seems that the strength of Mavericks has made Zen master jealous...]

Shen Fei thought to himself.

The great strength shown by the Mavericks made Phil Jackson have to doubt whether his players could solve the problem by themselves.

............

Lakers bench.

Phil Jackson held a tactical whiteboard and quickly explained the tactics.

"Start the next possession, double-team Dirk, double-team him as soon as he gets the ball."

"Ron, you are the main defender." The Zen Master looked at Ci Shiping and said, "Don't worry about Marion being left alone. It would be better to let him open and not give Nowitzki room to attack."

Ci Shiping nodded, with a fighting spirit in his eyes.

At the same time, on the Mavericks bench, head coach Carlisle made substitution adjustments.

The timeout ends quickly and the game continues.

In the Lakers' offensive round, Kobe single-handedly entered the penalty area, relying on his strong waist and abdomen strength, he folded and hit a layup!

72: 66.

Whenever the team needs it, Kobe is always so reliable!

But before the Lakers players had time to be happy, the Mavericks had already launched a counterattack.

Terry steals a fast break.

After Kidd received the ball near his own baseline, he waved his hand and made a "four-point long pass" similar to football, which accurately found Terry.

Kobe gritted his teeth and ran wildly, quickly returning to the defensive position.

Terry was not sure about hitting the basket, and after taking a step, he stopped and shot a jumper...

Also hit!

72: 68.

Offensive and defensive transition, Gasol backs Nowitzki in the low post.

Having been beaten twice in a row before, my sister-in-law has lost her face, so she naturally wants to get back her place.

After getting the ball this time, he turned back confidently after the back hit...

"duang!"

The ball hit the side of the rim and bounced out.

Bynum jumped high, took the first step to accept the rebound, and then took off for the second time, ready to dunk.

But Chandler, who reacted quickly, jumped up and slapped the ball away!

The ball flew directly to the half court.

Kobe and Marion jumped at the basketball at the same time, and then, the accident happened...

Both of them only had basketball in their eyes, and they didn't notice each other's existence at all.

"Boom..."

With a muffled sound, the two bumped into each other in the air, and they bumped heads.

The next moment, Marion clutched his head in pain.

Kobe, on the other hand, hugged the basketball ferociously, and immediately signaled to the referee for a timeout.

After the referee made a time-out gesture, he let go of the basketball and covered his face with his hands.

The two hit hard.

The team doctors of both sides rushed to the field immediately to check the injuries of the two.

After about 3 minutes, Kobe took the lead to stand up, holding the ice pack given by the team doctor in his right hand, applying it to his forehead, and slowly walked off the field.

Marion was even worse.

Until now, he has not recovered from his strength and still fell to the ground.

At this time, the large screen at the scene began to replay the collision just now.

It can be seen through slow motion that both of them were doing something similar to "diving to the top" before the collision.

Colliding together at such a fast speed, the consequences can be imagined...

After another 2 minutes, Marion finally got up and left directly from the player tunnel with the support of the team doctor.

Kobe on the other side is not much better.

Although he got up one step earlier and rested on the bench for a while, but at the request of the team doctor, Kobe could only leave the court in the end.

After Shen Fei saw the two leave the court, he knew that the Lakers' general situation was over...

The NBA has a clear "Concussion Protection Protocol."

Once the player's head is hit, this protection protocol will automatically start.

If Kobe and Marion want to return to the court, they must pass a series of strict tests.

The league will only allow players to play after determining their health.

If the test results show that there is a concussion, the player may have to rest for about a week!

In other words, at least for today's game, it is almost impossible for Kobe and Marion to return.

And the Lakers without Kobe played against the Mavericks without Marion, the ending can be imagined...

The replacement for Kobe was Shannon Brown, an American guard with a jumping Jordan, but the rest of his abilities are extremely mediocre.

Marion was replaced by former All-Star small forward Caron Butler.

Maybe it was the butterfly effect brought about by Shen Fei's time travel. Not only did Butler in this time and space not be reimbursed for the season, he didn't even have minor injuries and illnesses, and he was very healthy throughout the season.

His defense is naturally not as good as Marion, but his overall strength is not worse than the latter.

In the past, when the Mavericks needed to strengthen their offensive firepower, they often started Butler instead of Marion.

To sum it up in one sentence... the strength of the Mavericks has not dropped too much, but the Lakers have collapsed!

"Looks like we're going to play Tianwangshan, I hope Kobe and Marion don't suffer concussions..."

Shen Fei murmured.

............

After that, the trend of the game was exactly as Shen Fei expected.

The Lakers took a turn for the worse, and the balance of victory fell directly to the Cowboys in Dallas.

At the end of the third quarter, the Mavericks not only overtook the score, but also achieved a 15-point lead.

Shortly after the start of the fourth quarter, under the leadership of Nowitzki, the Mavericks played another wave of 10:2 spurt, opening the point difference to more than 20 points in one fell swoop.

The suspense of the game is over.

In the end, the Mavericks beat the Lakers by 120 points 101:19 away!

The total score of the two teams came to 2:2.

............

The next day, on the plane to Oklahoma, Shen Fei brushed up on the follow-up.

The Lakers and Mavericks respectively updated the injuries of Kobe and Marion on their official websites.

Fortunately, both concussion test results were negative, but whether they can play in the fifth game of the two teams depends on the physical condition of the athletes before the game.

Shen Fei is happy for the two teams and the fans.

The health of Kobe and Marion means that a wonderful Tianwangshan battle is inevitable!

However, this is not what Shen Fei cares most about.

Today's top priority is the fourth game between the Rockets and the Thunder!

Just last night, Shen Fei also received a text message from Ajiali.

The king's daughter said that she will finish her work soon.

If all goes well, she will come to the Toyota Center to watch the game with Shen Fei during the fifth game between the Rockets and the Thunder.

Shen Fei was naturally very happy about this.

Two career freaks can do it unexpectedly, and they can't see each other for a long time during the passionate love period.

"I don't know whether this little girl's previous promise can be fulfilled..."

Shen Fei murmured.

At that time, Ajiali said that as long as the Rockets win the championship, one of his requirements will be met...

A person of the opposite sex with such outstanding appearance, personality, and family background made such a promise.

If Shen Fei said that he didn't look forward to it, it would be an absolute lie.

Of course, he is not in a hurry to advance the relationship between the two.

The top priority is for the Rockets to successfully win the series and continue chasing the championship!

............

In the evening, Chesapeake Energy Arena.

The fourth game between the Rockets and the Thunder is coming as scheduled!

After the last game, public opinion on the Internet has undergone a huge shift.

Many fans believe that the Thunder is absolutely impossible to pose a threat to the Rockets, and the series will soon end with the victory of the Houston team.

But the Thunder players obviously don't think so.

Westbrook said in an interview before the game that his performance was abnormal in the last game, which caused the team to lose the rhythm, but in the next game, he will definitely find the rhythm.

Durant sent a meaningful tweet, tweeting-"When others don't believe in you, it's your time to prove your worth!"

Harden wasn't idle either.

He posted a short video at three o'clock in the morning, with the postscript: "There is no entertainment, only game preparation!"

It is worth mentioning that the scene in Deng Ge's video is not in a nightclub, but also in a stadium.

In such an atmosphere, the fourth battle between the two teams kicked off!

............

With the referee throwing the ball high, the game officially begins!

Yao Ming relaxed his ape arm and won the scrum with Ibaka.

The rocket strikes first!

Curry passed the half court with the ball and came to the top of the arc to organize.

He wanted to hand the ball to Yao Ming inside.

But today, as soon as he came up, Perkins took a defensive approach to prevent Yao Ming from receiving the ball.

The defense around the front actually consumes the physical strength of the defensive players, so it is generally not used in the early stages of the game.

But today Perkins is obviously going all out, fighting this old bone, but also to block Yao Ming for a while!

And his tonnage also played a big role at this time.

Yao Ming was blocked by Perkins, and he really couldn't find a good position to catch the ball.

However, the Rockets have many offensive points.

Curry decisively changed his tactics, beckoning Griffin inside to put up a screen.

Griffin rushed to the horse and set up a pick-and-roll.

Curry shuffled and dribbled the ball, pretending to bypass the pick-and-roll, but suddenly changed direction at the last moment, making both the defending Westbrook and the assisting Ibaka fall into the air.

Once the plan succeeded, Curry quickly collected the ball and made a three-pointer!

After the basketball left his fingertips, it spun at a high speed, drawing a beautiful arc in the air...

"Shu~"

Hollow into the network!

3:0, the Rockets took the lead!

Shen Fei in the stands couldn't help clapping his hands, sending applause for Curry.

This ball perfectly embodies the latter's aura and confidence!

Offensive and defensive transition, Westbrook dribbles to the top of the arc.

McGrady, who defended him, maintained the defensive strategy of the previous game, standing near the free throw line, waiting for Westbrook's arrival.

Turtle watched all this calmly.

He didn't rush to make a shot, but observed the running positions of his teammates.

McGrady stands on a "strategic location", ready to help his teammates defend at any time.

Waiting and waiting, Westbrook never found a suitable passing opportunity.

He no longer waited, received the ball decisively, bent his knees and shot...

bingo!

3: 3.

After the goal, Westbrook couldn't help throwing his fists in celebration.

He knows that as long as he can make this damn three-pointer, the team's offense will not stall!

Rocket attack.

Yao Ming and Perkins got into a fight again.

During the entanglement, the two didn't know who tripped who, and both staggered and fell to the ground.

"Beep!"

The whistle sounded and the referee judged Perkins as a defensive foul.

Perkins quickly got up from the ground, spread his hands and told the referee about his injustice, but the referee ignored him.

George serves from the sideline.

During the running process, McGrady suddenly ran back, successfully throwing off Sefolosha's defense, and went outside the three-point line to receive the ball.

After getting the ball, t-mac did not hesitate to shoot a three-pointer...

No entry!

Griffin and Ibaka jumped at the same time and caught the ball in the air at the same time.

In this kind of key game, players from both sides must compete for every ball.

The two scrambled from the "sky" to the "ground", and they stopped fighting only when the referee called the scrimmage.

And this kind of hand-to-hand combat that started from the first minute of the game also made the fans hooked.

Thunder fans chanted Ibaka's name in unison to cheer him on.

Ibaka also did not disgrace his mission, relying on his wingspan advantage to win the scrimmage.

The ball was patted into Durant's hands.

After Xiaoshuai got the ball, he accelerated his advance immediately, took a big stride, and went straight to the Rockets' half court.

When the offense and defense were switched, the task of defending Durant fell to McGrady.

When kd saw that the person in front of him was McGrady, he raised his right hand high and signaled his teammates to pull away.

This is the first matchup between the two main players in this field!
