Chapter 236 Finals Floor (8400 word chapter)
5月25号,西部决赛的第2节比赛,在李泽连续打成2+1之后,雷霆队成功将分差扩大到7分。卡莱尔主教练在场边眉头紧皱。
At this time, the second quarter of the game has gone on for 2 minutes and 5 seconds. After Nowitzki hit a mid-range shot, the game entered the official timeout.
With the team feeling poor, if they fall behind by 7 points at halftime, the game will completely turn to the Thunder. Coach Carlisle is a little bit tangled.
The Mavericks' play style in the first 4 games is actually very simple. As long as the Thunder hit the iron, Kidd will try to speed up the game as much as possible and seize every opportunity to switch.
If the fast break fails, in the front court, immediately give the ball to Nowitzki in the block position. This is the first offensive choice for the Mavericks. If the singles fail, quickly transfer the ball.
From Nowitzki's strong side, he quickly shifted to the weak side, and when opportunities appeared from the outside, he threw the ball as soon as he took it.
In addition to these basic routines, coupled with high pick-and-rolls from time to time, three-pointers with the ball, can form a hearty offense in the first few games.
In this game, the physical condition of the players was not good, and the slow-down style of play caused the Mavericks to lose the offensive rhythm of the previous games.
In the second half of the quarter, the team only scored 2 points, but the opponent's offensive firepower remained undiminished, scoring 11 points in the half quarter.
Under such circumstances, the head coach of Carlisle decided to make a change, no longer considering the issue of physical fitness, and let the first half pass first.
"Kidd! When you get on the court, speed up the offense. Everyone needs to protect the rebound. Every counterattack is an opportunity for us to score. Listen guys, we are already behind. Everyone has to take responsibility and attack boldly!"
The atmosphere at the Ford Center was so hot that Coach Carlisle could only raise his volume, sitting on a small bench and yelling at the Mavericks and the players.
After the official timeout ended, the Mavericks regained their main lineup, and the Thunder also replaced Turtle and Durant. The final result of the first half depends on the final half of the game.
The Thunder team took the lead in attacking. After serving the ball from the baseline, Guigui gave the ball to Li Ze at the top of the arc immediately after halftime. Perkins stepped up to cover. ball.
Guigui held the ball in his right hand and accelerated his breakthrough, while Li Ze quickly moved to the left flank beyond the three-point line with the help of Perkins' second screen.
The Mavericks have seen this pistol tactic with some changes too many times, so Tyson Chandler directly raised his hands and raised them up quickly, greatly delaying the turtle's marching route.
Fortunately, the quality of Perkins' screen was not bad. Li Ze briefly got rid of DeShawn Stevenson's defense, and then received a somewhat strong pass from Turtle.
After receiving the ball from the left flank, he swayed and deceived DeShawn Stephenson's defensive center of gravity, then put the ball with his left hand, stepped with his right foot, and broke through with a cross step. After taking two big steps, his left hand suddenly pulled back sharply.
The right hand paused slightly, pretending to break through on the right side. At this time, Li Ze's body center of gravity was very low, which made DeShawn Stevenson stunned again. Yun took a big step and pulled his right hand back again, completely swaying the defense.
Relying on the inertia of pulling the ball, he quickly retreated to the outside of the three-point line. Amidst the cheers of the Oklahoma City fans at the scene, he ignored Deshaun Stevenson's jumping block and easily shot a jumper.
"It's good! Kayce hits the three!"
Seeing Li Ze shaking continuously and finally making a three-pointer, the commentator Mike Brin immediately raised his commentary volume. In tonight's game, the two teams made three-pointers too hard. This is also the first game of the game. Take the three-pointer.
Guigui and Durant also excitedly gave Li Ze a high-five to celebrate, and the point difference came to 10 points!victory is in sight!
After scoring the goal, Li Ze breathed a sigh of relief. In the first quarter, all two three-pointers were shot with iron, and the three-pointer was thrown, which finally allowed him to regain some outside touch.
The double-digit point difference made everyone in the Mavericks a little nervous, but Nowitzki and Kidd were still in a stable group. After cheering their teammates loudly, the Mavericks' offense also began to speed up.
Everyone in the Thunder thought they could maintain the point difference until the end of halftime, but after Li Ze and Durant hit a 3-point iron outside the three-point line, the Mavericks recovered the point difference back to 4 points.
With 2 minutes and 2 seconds left in the second quarter, Li Ze was replaced and returned to the bench. The atmosphere team quickly handed over water bottles and towels, and simply replenished water, but Li Ze felt a little depressed.
The three-pointer in the first half was completely defeated. It went straight to 5 of 1. There were problems with the two offensive choices. The offensive end was too impatient.
The veterans of the Mavericks were not in a hurry, and in the end they still grinded back the point difference. The rhythm of the game is difficult to reflect in the data, but Kidd did have a few brushes.
After the last few minutes of the second quarter, the score between the two sides came to 2:53, and the Thunder entered the second half with a four-point lead.
During the halftime break, in the Thunder locker room, coach Brooks looked at the technical statistics in his hand and felt a little helpless.
The Thunder rely too much on Li Ze for three-pointers. Once the golden thigh is gone, most of the outside firepower will be lost.
Fortunately, even if Li Ze is smoking in the bottom corner, the Mavericks have to send someone to continue to defend!
李泽半场10中6,其中三分球5中1,罚球3中3,拿到16分4篮板4助攻1封盖。
The coaching staff was very satisfied with his performance. After looking around, Coach Brooks immediately said:
"The opponent is grasping the opportunity to switch offenses. Although our rebounds were good in the first half, in the second half we have to be more active in rushing to grab offensive rebounds, delaying their conversion, and we still have to shoot decisively when opportunities arise from the outside."
"The Oklahoma City fans have been cheering for us on the spot. Tonight's game, we have to believe in each other! Hold on guys, we are only two games away from victory!"
The assistant coach also took out the prepared tactical board at the right time, reminding everyone to pay attention to the weak side defense. The Mavericks' three-pointers were also hit hard in the first half, but even so, the opponent's three-pointers were still the biggest threat, and they could not be given a chance
After the start of the third quarter, the physical fitness of the Mavericks recovered after a short intermission.
The Thunder took the lead in attacking and received the ball with a screen. Durant took advantage of the opportunity to break through for a layup. Marion on his side fought desperately. Coupled with the interference of Tyson Chandler's help defense, the ball finally knocked out of the basket.
Before Durant could complain, Nowitzki found Kidd immediately after getting the rebound, and the Mavericks immediately accelerated and launched a conversion attack.
Everyone in the Thunder team retreated quickly. Just after halftime, Kidd immediately threw the ball into the hands of Marion who was beyond the three-point line. After the latter received the ball, he held the ball and went straight to the basket. The long arm interfered, and the ball bounced out of the frame.
Tyson Chandler, who was active and fast, hit the offensive rebound and was about to force a dunk, but was hugged by Perkins. The referee immediately blew his whistle, but Chandler, who was full of anger, faced such an action. , After breaking free from the defense, he pushed Perkins hard.
And trash talk was immediately sprayed from his mouth:
"Fack! Put away your silly little tricks!"
"Xie Te! You idiot, do it! I'll lock you inside, don't even try to get points from me!"
Perkins was pushed and staggered, and when he heard some arrogant words from Tyson Chandler, he immediately stepped forward and pulled, and the two immediately tore together.
"Shh!"
The Oklahoma City fans at the scene immediately booed after seeing such a scene, and the players on both sides were also crowded together. The referee managed to separate everyone, and then immediately gave each of them a technical foul.
While the two sides were executing foul free throws, the three of them laughed together in the ESPN commentary booth. This is the Tianwangshan battle that everyone is looking forward to.
"It seems that the two sides will increase physical confrontation in the second half. Perkins showed the Thunder's defensive attitude and never let the Mavericks dunk easily. The game became more interesting!"
Jeff Van Gundy saw a free throw on both sides, and suddenly said something with a smile.
"The Mavericks actually implemented this tactic in the last game. In the third quarter of G4, after adding physical confrontation, they strictly guarded against Kayce's three-pointer and successfully disrupted the Thunder's offensive rhythm. In terms of game experience, the Mavericks have a huge advantage."
As soon as Mark Jackson's words fell, Chandler made two free throws, and the Mavericks narrowed the point difference to two points.
"Patient! We're still ahead!"
Li Ze signaled his teammates to stabilize their emotions. Tonight, his three-pointer was overwhelmed. Once he was hit by the opponent, it would not be easy to chase points.
Turtle passed halftime slowly, Kidd stayed within the three-point line to defend, briefly observed the Mavericks' defensive position, and then immediately made an offensive gesture.
Quickly gave the ball to the uplifted Ibaka, and then the turtle cut in without the ball, took away the defense, and quickly moved outside the three-point line in the right corner.
Li Ze, in the left corner, saw Ibaka catch the ball at the elbow to the left of the free throw line, and immediately started to move up the line to catch the ball. Deshaun Stephenson quickly defended beside Li Ze.
Li Ze had just received a hand-off pass from Ibaka. Nowitzki and DeShaun Stephenson wanted to close the door to defend directly, and double-teamed Li Ze one after the other.
Just when the two were about to complete the double-teaming, they changed direction in a small area with the ball in their right hand and pushed the ball with their left hand to change direction.
"Oh!"
The Oklahoma City fans subconsciously exclaimed as they watched the deft change of direction in a small area, and then they all shouted excitedly!
At this time, Li Ze held the ball in his right hand and accelerated with all his strength. Just one step past the free throw line, he immediately jumped with both feet. Dele's cover.
Then the waist and abdomen exerted strength, gliding in the air for a short time, and at the same time twisted the left wrist, tilted the body at the bottom left of the basket and scored the ball steadily!
"OH! Flips it up and in!"
"What a play by Kayce!"
The wonderful breakthrough made the commentator Mike Breen shout excitedly.
After landing, Li Ze yelled at the camera under the basket, patted his chest, and quickly returned to defense after posing. The atmosphere on the scene was ignited by the wonderful goal, and the Oklahoma City fans immediately shouted for the home team's defense:
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"
The Mavericks once again played their good coordination. After Nowitzki received the ball in the left block position, he attracted the defensive attention of everyone in the Thunder team.
Facing Ibaka's defense, he released the ball with his right hand and went up the line to break through. When he came to the paint area, he noticed that Durant's position was a little behind, and threw the ball directly to Marion, who was on the right wing outside the three-point line.
The latter received the ball and used a posture almost like a shot put, and the ball pushed into the basket
"what!"
Marion, who threw the three-pointer, was very excited. He immediately roared, and then applauded frantically, signaling his teammates to retreat quickly.
The iron tree is blooming!
Li Ze was also a little dazed, can he get in?
The Thunder also did their homework before the game. Marion made 15.2% of his three-pointers in the regular season, and he didn’t make a three-pointer at all in the previous few games. Durant’s defensive choices are actually fine. I can only say that the Mavericks brave
In the rest of the time, the point difference has been bouncing back and forth by 2 points. The Thunder team attacked and scored, and the Mavericks were able to respond.
Coupled with frequent physical confrontation, the shooting percentage of the two teams is getting lower and lower, and the second half of the game is bang bang.
With 3 minute and 1 seconds left in the third quarter, Turtle's emergency stop jump shot hit the iron again, and Perkins and Chandler hugged together under the basket.
With his excellent jumping, Ibaka grabbed the front of Nowitzki and flicked the ball.
Li Ze, who rushed inside, successfully grabbed the offensive rebound. After taking a step, he just wanted to put the basket under the basket, but Jason Terry, who came off the bench, directly led the ball and cut it off!
"Snapped!"
"squeak!"
The referee blew the whistle to indicate that Terry was fouled by the thug, and Li Ze got two free throws. The Oklahoma City fans cheered again, and the point difference was coming to 4 points again!
Li Ze shook his hand first, stood on the free throw line and adjusted his breathing, and made two free throws steadily.
In the last minute, the two sides struck iron again.
At 77:80, the Thunder survived the crazy third quarter and still maintained a three-point lead.
During the break during the quarter, Durant began to gasp for breath. His physical fitness had not returned to the best state. The game in the third quarter consumed him a lot. The short rotation of Brooks' head coach is sometimes really difficult.
There is no problem with Li Ze's physical fitness, but the shooting feel is getting worse. Obviously, he can easily make many shots, but in the end they all end up with iron.
单节来了个6中2,三分球2中0,罚球2中2,拿到6分勉强算是为雷霆队保住了基本盘.
And on the Mavericks' bench, the veterans really couldn't stand it anymore.
There were a few times in this quarter that the Thunder almost got kicked out by the Thunder. Fortunately, the team has excellent toughness, and the three-point difference is indeed negligible.
Coach Carlisle secretly praised Nowitzki's performance. He made 8 of 6 field goals and 5 of 5 free throws. Except for missing three-pointers, his stats of 17 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists were impeccable.
After the start of the 4th quarter, the Mavericks took the lead in attacking, and Nowitzki took the lead. He came up against Ibaka's defense at the right elbow, hit two long points, and narrowed the point difference to 1 point!
"Shh!"
Hearing the huge boos erupting from the Ford Center Arena, Nowitzki looked calm. He only wanted to pursue the victory of the game, and he would not consider other things at all.
"OKC! OKC! OKC!"
Amidst the rhythmic cheers from the Oklahoma City fans, Guigui quickly passed the ball to Li Ze from beyond the three-point line.
Just received the ball at the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line, and took a quick tentative step with his left foot. Kidd, who was on the line, had not had time to double-team. !
"Shua!" The two-pointer was hit steadily.
After the goal, Li Ze threw his fist in celebration, and the Oklahoma City fans shouted excitedly. The point difference came to three points again, which seemed much safer.
"Although Kayce's three-pointer was off tonight, his shooting percentage is still good. Dirk's performance in the first three quarters was perfect. Let's see if he can lead the team to come back against the wind in the fourth quarter."
Jeff Van Gundy sent out the poisoned milk again, and in the next few minutes, Nowitzki was milked.
Fortunately, the Mavericks' defense was online, and the Thunder's shooting percentage was not high, so the point difference was only widened to 5 points.
Strike the iron!Still strike!
Nowitzki hit 3 irons in a row, which made Ibaka, who had been at a disadvantage in the series, very excited. His defense worked?
In the Mavericks' attack, Nowitzki no longer insisted on jumping back. After three threats, he accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his left hand, and directly picked the basket with Ibaka's defense on his shoulders!
"squeak!"
"boom"
Nowitzki, who lost his center of gravity, fell to the ground, saw the ball knock out of the basket, slapped the floor annoyedly, then quickly adjusted his breathing, and walked to the free throw line.
Two free throws were made, and the point difference came to three points again. Coach Brooks requested a timeout.
"Three point difference, it's hard to predict the final outcome. The Thunder lost the best opportunity to expand the score. I must praise the Mavericks' defense. Tyson Chandler once again showed his excellent ability to protect the frame. "
Mark Jackson didn't expect that this game was not an offensive battle, but an iron battle, but he still affirmed the performance of the Mavericks. The veterans are worthy of praise!
After returning from the timeout, the two sides entered the stage of responding to the ball again.
With Nowitzki's shooting percentage declining, Marion successfully took over the offensive banner of the Mavericks.
On the left flank outside the three-point line, using Nowitzki's outside cover, Marion cut into the throw and scored 2 points.
Li Ze caught the ball in the left block and held the ball. After a feint, he made a forced shot, twisted his body and threw 2 points in response!
The Mavericks scored and moved the ball quickly from the outside. Marion, who was on the right flank outside the three-point line, accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand after receiving the pass, causing Durant's foul and two free throws.
Turtle performed a high pick-and-roll outside the three-point line, suddenly Kidd, went inside, caused a foul by Chandler, and also scored two free throws.
Marion cut around the elbow area on the left side of the free throw line suddenly, received a pass from Nowitzki, and made a high layup.
Looking back, Durant successfully created a big loop on Marion, the referee blew his whistle, stood on the free throw line easily, and responded with two free throws again.
In this round, coach Carlisle on the sidelines completely broke his defense and yelled at the linesman:
"This is not a basketball move at all, my player just touched him!!"
The assistant coach saw Carlisle's grim look, and quickly pulled him back to the bench. At this time, you must not take a T, every point is extremely important.
The Oklahoma City fans at the scene saw that the head coach of the Mavericks seemed to be in a hurry, and they all happily booed and taunted.
But the more intense competition also made the audience feel nervous, and the exclamation and cheers continued to ring out.
With 1 minute and 22 seconds left in the game, the Thunder still led by 3 points.
In the last 2 minutes, the Mavericks put on Jason Terry again, and Kidd quickly dribbled across the half court after driving the baseline.
The Oklahoma City fans couldn't sit still anymore, they all stood up and shouted loudly, cheering for the home team:
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"
Li Ze completed the steal at the last moment of the last game, so the Mavericks played very conservatively this time. They did not pass the ball continuously from the outside, but wanted Nowitzki to receive the ball as soon as possible.
After completing the cross-screening in the three-second zone, Nowitzki quickly came to the right block to ask for the ball with his back, but due to the decline in physical fitness, Ibaka successfully defended several times in a row.
With still time to attack, Kidd did not pass the ball easily, but threw the ball to Jason Terry on the outside, and then made an offensive gesture again.
The moment Jason Terry received the ball, Li Ze's defense stuck up, covering the opponent with his body, not giving the opponent a chance to easily play the ball.
Under the oppressive defense, Jason Terry kept protecting the ball with his back. When he saw Nowitzki coming to the three-point line, he immediately wanted to play a pick-and-roll, but Li Ze quickly squeezed through the screen.
The Oklahoma City fans at the scene noticed that the Mavericks' attack time was only 5 seconds left, and they all screamed excitedly.
Jason Terry was blocked by Li Ze and had no chance to make a move. At the last moment, he gave the ball to Nowitzki at the top of the arc. shake.
Ibaka was not affected by Nowitzki's fake action, and there was not much time left in the attack, so he kept raising his hands and did not give Nowitzki easy shot space.
Seeing that 24 seconds were about to expire, Nowitzki tilted his body after the feint, facing Ibaka's defense, and shot at the buzzer from outside the three-point line!
The slightly backward shot made the ball draw a huge arc, and finally fell into the net accurately under the watchful eyes of the Oklahoma City fans.
"Tough shot! Dirk for three!"
"He got it! Unbelievable!"
The magical three-pointer made the commentator Mike Breen shout crazily.
The Mavericks tied the score, and with 58 seconds left in the game, Coach Brooks immediately called for a timeout.
The Oklahoma City fans at the scene first exclaimed, and then immediately booed loudly. After scoring the goal, Nowitzki yelled up to the sky, and then beat his chest wildly.
Kidd was equally excited, and rushed directly to Nowitzki. The two veterans celebrated in the center of the field after a chest bump.
"As long as the next round is held, the Mavericks will have a chance to regain the initiative. This is the role of superstars. Nowitzki has been missing three-pointers in the game, and finally hit the most critical shot at the last moment of the final!"
Jeff Van Gundy's tone was also a little excited. He didn't expect the Mavericks to persist until the last moment. Mark Jackson also said:
"In the next offensive round, the Thunder must score a goal, otherwise the initiative will be handed over to the Mavericks. It's time to test the young team. Let's see how the boys will perform!"
After returning from a timeout, Li Ze sent a sideline ball in the frontcourt. After receiving the pass, Guigui did not rush to attack, but slowly controlled the ball from beyond the three-point line.
At the last moment, the tactics are of course as simple as possible. Ibaka and Perkins both sank to the bottom line, and Li Ze and Durant began to cross-screen with the two big men in the three-second zone.
Almost exactly the same tactics as the Mavericks at the last moment, Durant, who had declined in physical fitness, was completely restrained by Marion's pursuit and defense.
When Li Ze saw this situation, after slipping to the bottom line, he didn't directly bounce out when he came to the bottom line. Instead, he raised his right hand and made a gesture.
The offensive clock was ticking away, and the Oklahoma City fans at the scene began to shout loudly to cheer for the home team:
"OKC! OKC! OKC!"
With 9 seconds left on the offensive clock, Turtle, who was beyond the three-point line, directly protected the ball with his back, pressed Kidd on the three-point line, and firmly controlled the ball with his left hand.
The agreed moment of attack has arrived, and Li Ze, who is near the baseline, starts instantly and bounces directly to the left flank beyond the three-point line.
DeShaun Stevenson exhausted all his strength and chased desperately. The moment Li Ze came to the three-point line and received a pass from the turtle, the opponent's defense had already rotated.
There were 6 seconds left in the attack time, and there was no chance to shoot directly at the first time. Li Ze dribbled the ball with his right hand under the crotch to adjust the rhythm of the attack.
Then lowered the center of gravity of the body and dribbled the ball under the crotch twice in a row. DeShawn Stevenson seemed to have predicted Li Ze's movement, and immediately stepped forward, and the defensive center of gravity moved forward instantly.
As soon as the opponent moved, Li Ze directly exerted force on his feet, quickly retreated, facing Deshaun Stevenson's block, and shot a jumper at the buzzer outside the three-point line!
"Buzz!"
When the 24 seconds are up, the buzzer sounds.
There was a moment of silence in the Ford Center arena. The ball hit the bottom of the basket and hit the net with a thud, and everyone shouted crazily!
"BANG! BANG!"
"Kayce From Downtown!"
"How did he do that? Oh my god!"
In ESPN's commentary booth, Mike Breen stood up and yelled frantically.
The Ford Center Arena also instantly turned into a sea of blue and white, and many excited fans threw their white handkerchiefs away.
Regaining a three-point lead, the Oklahoma City fans realized that they were about to touch the floor of the finals!
"Oh!"
After scoring the goal, Li Ze raised his arms and shouted. Afterwards, Guigui and Durant also hugged Li Ze and retreated to the half court.
Coach Carlisle on the sidelines requested a timeout for the first time, and then took a deep breath to calm himself down. In 34 seconds, the team still has a chance!
"This is the MVP, this is the superstar. Kayce didn't feel good beyond the three-point line in this game, but at the last moment, he hit the most crucial goal! This is really a wonderful game!"
Jeff Van Gundy crazily praised Li Ze's performance with extremely fast speech, and Mark Jackson, who had been chanting God just now, also calmed down his emotions at this time, and then said:
"Whether it's a quick two-pointer or a direct three-pointer, the Mavericks must score in the next round!"
For the Thunder, the defense in this round is very clear. They are determined not to give three points, and they are determined not to give the opponent the opportunity to add penalties. Quick two points are acceptable!
Even if it is a penalty shootout, Li Ze and Durant's free throws in this game are also very good. As long as the opponent's timeout is exhausted, the game will be completely over.
Kidd made a quick sideline kick in the frontcourt. Jason Terry got the ball from outside the three-point line.
At the same time, Nowitzki and Tyson Chandler completed a cross screen in the three-second zone, quickly came to the outside of the three-point line, received a pass from Kidd, feinted, and flew Ibaka.
Amidst the exclamation of the Oklahoma City fans at the scene, taking advantage of the time difference, he twisted his body and shot a jumper from outside the three-point line!
"Bang!" Angrily strike!
The long rebound popped out, and Durant immediately took control of the ball. The Mavericks had no choice but to foul.
"what!"
Durant, who was holding the ball, screamed excitedly. The Ford Center Arena was completely blown up. As long as they scored both free throws, they would win Tianwangshan.
When Durant stood at the free throw line, the fans were quiet.
The first free throw was hit steadily, and cheers erupted again. When the second free throw was hit again, the coach Brooks on the sidelines couldn't help clenching his fists to celebrate.
"5 points difference! The Mavericks still have a timeout, and it will be difficult for them to recover such a point difference."
Mark Jackson saw the Mavericks players returning to the bench in silence, and felt sorry for the veterans, but competitive sports are sometimes so cruel, and there is no respect for the old and the young on the field.
In 28 seconds, the Mavericks quickly scored two points. Immediately afterwards, the Thunder requested a timeout and served in the front court. Li Ze successfully received the ball. The Mavericks fouled and made two free throws again.
Amidst the loud cheers from the Oklahoma City fans, the Mavericks, who were serving from the baseline, dribbled a three-pointer after halftime, and the time ran out quickly.
"Buzz!"
Li Ze and his teammates began to celebrate wildly, and the Ford Center Arena was filled with jubilation.
In the end, at 103:108, the Thunder at home struggled to defeat the Mavericks and won the battle of Tianwangshan. The series came to a score of 3:2.
李泽本场比赛20中10,其中三分球8中2,罚球7中7,拿到29分7篮板6助攻1盖帽1失误。
29 points is also the highest score tonight, so Li Ze accepted an interview with ESPN senior reporter Doris Burke on the sidelines after the game.
The Oklahoma City fans at the scene were still celebrating wildly, so the blonde female reporter had to raise her volume:
"Kayce, congratulations for winning G5, can you briefly describe your current mood?"
"Oh! I'm so happy, because after winning this game, even if we get to the tie-breaker, the game will still go back to Oklahoma City. This is a great encouragement for us, because we have the best team in the league. Good fans!"
"At the same time, I also want to pay tribute to the Mavericks. We still have a lot to learn from the veterans."
Doris Burke saw many players coming to Li Ze to celebrate wildly, and immediately ended the interview with empathy, and said from Li Ze with a smile:
"Keep going, Kayce, hope to see you on the stage of the finals!"
"thank you for your support!"
After the interview, Li Ze and his teammates came to the sidelines to celebrate wildly. None of the Oklahoma City fans left the field, and everyone was enjoying the moment of victory.
For Oklahoma City fans, the Finals seemed like an unattainable dream, but when the dream came true, everyone was overjoyed!
America's social media was once again swamped by the battle of Tianwang Mountain in the Western Conference Finals.
Nowitzki scored 26 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 turnovers. When he hit that magical three-pointer, many fans were cheering for his goal.
It's just that when Li Ze made a three-pointer that almost sealed the victory, few people continued to discuss Nowitzki. The winner deserves to be praised, while the loser has no choice but to leave.
When Li Ze returned home, he could only sigh helplessly when he saw a bunch of messages on his phone. On the surface, having too many brothers was also a problem.
After a simple shower, when he came to the collection room, he saw a pile of crystal trophies and a small bronze figure, and Li Ze smiled in his heart:
"It's time to add a spherical trophy. The trophy for the division champion must look better!"

5月25号,西部决赛的第2节比赛,在李泽连续打成2+1之后,雷霆队成功将分差扩大到7分。卡莱尔主教练在场边眉头紧皱。
At this time, the second quarter of the game has gone on for 2 minutes and 5 seconds. After Nowitzki hit a mid-range shot, the game entered the official timeout.
With the team feeling poor, if they fall behind by 7 points at halftime, the game will completely turn to the Thunder. Coach Carlisle is a little bit tangled.
The Mavericks' play style in the first 4 games is actually very simple. As long as the Thunder hit the iron, Kidd will try to speed up the game as much as possible and seize every opportunity to switch.
If the fast break fails, in the front court, immediately give the ball to Nowitzki in the block position. This is the first offensive choice for the Mavericks. If the singles fail, quickly transfer the ball.
From Nowitzki's strong side, he quickly shifted to the weak side, and when opportunities appeared from the outside, he threw the ball as soon as he took it.
In addition to these basic routines, coupled with high pick-and-rolls from time to time, three-pointers with the ball, can form a hearty offense in the first few games.
In this game, the physical condition of the players was not good, and the slow-down style of play caused the Mavericks to lose the offensive rhythm of the previous games.
In the second half of the quarter, the team only scored 2 points, but the opponent's offensive firepower remained undiminished, scoring 11 points in the half quarter.
Under such circumstances, the head coach of Carlisle decided to make a change, no longer considering the issue of physical fitness, and let the first half pass first.
"Kidd! When you get on the court, speed up the offense. Everyone needs to protect the rebound. Every counterattack is an opportunity for us to score. Listen guys, we are already behind. Everyone has to take responsibility and attack boldly!"
The atmosphere at the Ford Center was so hot that Coach Carlisle could only raise his volume, sitting on a small bench and yelling at the Mavericks and the players.
After the official timeout ended, the Mavericks regained their main lineup, and the Thunder also replaced Turtle and Durant. The final result of the first half depends on the final half of the game.
The Thunder team took the lead in attacking. After serving the ball from the baseline, Guigui gave the ball to Li Ze at the top of the arc immediately after halftime. Perkins stepped up to cover. ball.
Guigui held the ball in his right hand and accelerated his breakthrough, while Li Ze quickly moved to the left flank beyond the three-point line with the help of Perkins' second screen.
The Mavericks have seen this pistol tactic with some changes too many times, so Tyson Chandler directly raised his hands and raised them up quickly, greatly delaying the turtle's marching route.
Fortunately, the quality of Perkins' screen was not bad. Li Ze briefly got rid of DeShawn Stevenson's defense, and then received a somewhat strong pass from Turtle.
After receiving the ball from the left flank, he swayed and deceived DeShawn Stephenson's defensive center of gravity, then put the ball with his left hand, stepped with his right foot, and broke through with a cross step. After taking two big steps, his left hand suddenly pulled back sharply.
The right hand paused slightly, pretending to break through on the right side. At this time, Li Ze's body center of gravity was very low, which made DeShawn Stevenson stunned again. Yun took a big step and pulled his right hand back again, completely swaying the defense.
Relying on the inertia of pulling the ball, he quickly retreated to the outside of the three-point line. Amidst the cheers of the Oklahoma City fans at the scene, he ignored Deshaun Stevenson's jumping block and easily shot a jumper.
"It's good! Kayce hits the three!"
Seeing Li Ze shaking continuously and finally making a three-pointer, the commentator Mike Brin immediately raised his commentary volume. In tonight's game, the two teams made three-pointers too hard. This is also the first game of the game. Take the three-pointer.
Guigui and Durant also excitedly gave Li Ze a high-five to celebrate, and the point difference came to 10 points!victory is in sight!
After scoring the goal, Li Ze breathed a sigh of relief. In the first quarter, all two three-pointers were shot with iron, and the three-pointer was thrown, which finally allowed him to regain some outside touch.
The double-digit point difference made everyone in the Mavericks a little nervous, but Nowitzki and Kidd were still in a stable group. After cheering their teammates loudly, the Mavericks' offense also began to speed up.
Everyone in the Thunder thought they could maintain the point difference until the end of halftime, but after Li Ze and Durant hit a 3-point iron outside the three-point line, the Mavericks recovered the point difference back to 4 points.
With 2 minutes and 2 seconds left in the second quarter, Li Ze was replaced and returned to the bench. The atmosphere team quickly handed over water bottles and towels, and simply replenished water, but Li Ze felt a little depressed.
The three-pointer in the first half was completely defeated. It went straight to 5 of 1. There were problems with the two offensive choices. The offensive end was too impatient.
The veterans of the Mavericks were not in a hurry, and in the end they still grinded back the point difference. The rhythm of the game is difficult to reflect in the data, but Kidd did have a few brushes.
After the last few minutes of the second quarter, the score between the two sides came to 2:53, and the Thunder entered the second half with a four-point lead.
During the halftime break, in the Thunder locker room, coach Brooks looked at the technical statistics in his hand and felt a little helpless.
The Thunder rely too much on Li Ze for three-pointers. Once the golden thigh is gone, most of the outside firepower will be lost.
Fortunately, even if Li Ze is smoking in the bottom corner, the Mavericks have to send someone to continue to defend!
李泽半场10中6,其中三分球5中1,罚球3中3,拿到16分4篮板4助攻1封盖。
The coaching staff was very satisfied with his performance. After looking around, Coach Brooks immediately said:
"The opponent is grasping the opportunity to switch offenses. Although our rebounds were good in the first half, in the second half we have to be more active in rushing to grab offensive rebounds, delaying their conversion, and we still have to shoot decisively when opportunities arise from the outside."
"The Oklahoma City fans have been cheering for us on the spot. Tonight's game, we have to believe in each other! Hold on guys, we are only two games away from victory!"
The assistant coach also took out the prepared tactical board at the right time, reminding everyone to pay attention to the weak side defense. The Mavericks' three-pointers were also hit hard in the first half, but even so, the opponent's three-pointers were still the biggest threat, and they could not be given a chance
After the start of the third quarter, the physical fitness of the Mavericks recovered after a short intermission.
The Thunder took the lead in attacking and received the ball with a screen. Durant took advantage of the opportunity to break through for a layup. Marion on his side fought desperately. Coupled with the interference of Tyson Chandler's help defense, the ball finally knocked out of the basket.
Before Durant could complain, Nowitzki found Kidd immediately after getting the rebound, and the Mavericks immediately accelerated and launched a conversion attack.
Everyone in the Thunder team retreated quickly. Just after halftime, Kidd immediately threw the ball into the hands of Marion who was beyond the three-point line. After the latter received the ball, he held the ball and went straight to the basket. The long arm interfered, and the ball bounced out of the frame.
Tyson Chandler, who was active and fast, hit the offensive rebound and was about to force a dunk, but was hugged by Perkins. The referee immediately blew his whistle, but Chandler, who was full of anger, faced such an action. , After breaking free from the defense, he pushed Perkins hard.
And trash talk was immediately sprayed from his mouth:
"Fack! Put away your silly little tricks!"
"Xie Te! You idiot, do it! I'll lock you inside, don't even try to get points from me!"
Perkins was pushed and staggered, and when he heard some arrogant words from Tyson Chandler, he immediately stepped forward and pulled, and the two immediately tore together.
"Shh!"
The Oklahoma City fans at the scene immediately booed after seeing such a scene, and the players on both sides were also crowded together. The referee managed to separate everyone, and then immediately gave each of them a technical foul.
While the two sides were executing foul free throws, the three of them laughed together in the ESPN commentary booth. This is the Tianwangshan battle that everyone is looking forward to.
"It seems that the two sides will increase physical confrontation in the second half. Perkins showed the Thunder's defensive attitude and never let the Mavericks dunk easily. The game became more interesting!"
Jeff Van Gundy saw a free throw on both sides, and suddenly said something with a smile.
"The Mavericks actually implemented this tactic in the last game. In the third quarter of G4, after adding physical confrontation, they strictly guarded against Kayce's three-pointer and successfully disrupted the Thunder's offensive rhythm. In terms of game experience, the Mavericks have a huge advantage."
As soon as Mark Jackson's words fell, Chandler made two free throws, and the Mavericks narrowed the point difference to two points.
"Patient! We're still ahead!"
Li Ze signaled his teammates to stabilize their emotions. Tonight, his three-pointer was overwhelmed. Once he was hit by the opponent, it would not be easy to chase points.
Turtle passed halftime slowly, Kidd stayed within the three-point line to defend, briefly observed the Mavericks' defensive position, and then immediately made an offensive gesture.
Quickly gave the ball to the uplifted Ibaka, and then the turtle cut in without the ball, took away the defense, and quickly moved outside the three-point line in the right corner.
Li Ze, in the left corner, saw Ibaka catch the ball at the elbow to the left of the free throw line, and immediately started to move up the line to catch the ball. Deshaun Stephenson quickly defended beside Li Ze.
Li Ze had just received a hand-off pass from Ibaka. Nowitzki and DeShaun Stephenson wanted to close the door to defend directly, and double-teamed Li Ze one after the other.
Just when the two were about to complete the double-teaming, they changed direction in a small area with the ball in their right hand and pushed the ball with their left hand to change direction.
"Oh!"
The Oklahoma City fans subconsciously exclaimed as they watched the deft change of direction in a small area, and then they all shouted excitedly!
At this time, Li Ze held the ball in his right hand and accelerated with all his strength. Just one step past the free throw line, he immediately jumped with both feet. Dele's cover.
Then the waist and abdomen exerted strength, gliding in the air for a short time, and at the same time twisted the left wrist, tilted the body at the bottom left of the basket and scored the ball steadily!
"OH! Flips it up and in!"
"What a play by Kayce!"
The wonderful breakthrough made the commentator Mike Breen shout excitedly.
After landing, Li Ze yelled at the camera under the basket, patted his chest, and quickly returned to defense after posing. The atmosphere on the scene was ignited by the wonderful goal, and the Oklahoma City fans immediately shouted for the home team's defense:
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"
The Mavericks once again played their good coordination. After Nowitzki received the ball in the left block position, he attracted the defensive attention of everyone in the Thunder team.
Facing Ibaka's defense, he released the ball with his right hand and went up the line to break through. When he came to the paint area, he noticed that Durant's position was a little behind, and threw the ball directly to Marion, who was on the right wing outside the three-point line.
The latter received the ball and used a posture almost like a shot put, and the ball pushed into the basket
"what!"
Marion, who threw the three-pointer, was very excited. He immediately roared, and then applauded frantically, signaling his teammates to retreat quickly.
The iron tree is blooming!
Li Ze was also a little dazed, can he get in?
The Thunder also did their homework before the game. Marion made 15.2% of his three-pointers in the regular season, and he didn’t make a three-pointer at all in the previous few games. Durant’s defensive choices are actually fine. I can only say that the Mavericks brave
In the rest of the time, the point difference has been bouncing back and forth by 2 points. The Thunder team attacked and scored, and the Mavericks were able to respond.
Coupled with frequent physical confrontation, the shooting percentage of the two teams is getting lower and lower, and the second half of the game is bang bang.
With 3 minute and 1 seconds left in the third quarter, Turtle's emergency stop jump shot hit the iron again, and Perkins and Chandler hugged together under the basket.
With his excellent jumping, Ibaka grabbed the front of Nowitzki and flicked the ball.
Li Ze, who rushed inside, successfully grabbed the offensive rebound. After taking a step, he just wanted to put the basket under the basket, but Jason Terry, who came off the bench, directly led the ball and cut it off!
"Snapped!"
"squeak!"
The referee blew the whistle to indicate that Terry was fouled by the thug, and Li Ze got two free throws. The Oklahoma City fans cheered again, and the point difference was coming to 4 points again!
Li Ze shook his hand first, stood on the free throw line and adjusted his breathing, and made two free throws steadily.
In the last minute, the two sides struck iron again.
At 77:80, the Thunder survived the crazy third quarter and still maintained a three-point lead.
During the break during the quarter, Durant began to gasp for breath. His physical fitness had not returned to the best state. The game in the third quarter consumed him a lot. The short rotation of Brooks' head coach is sometimes really difficult.
There is no problem with Li Ze's physical fitness, but the shooting feel is getting worse. Obviously, he can easily make many shots, but in the end they all end up with iron.
单节来了个6中2,三分球2中0,罚球2中2,拿到6分勉强算是为雷霆队保住了基本盘.
And on the Mavericks' bench, the veterans really couldn't stand it anymore.
There were a few times in this quarter that the Thunder almost got kicked out by the Thunder. Fortunately, the team has excellent toughness, and the three-point difference is indeed negligible.
Coach Carlisle secretly praised Nowitzki's performance. He made 8 of 6 field goals and 5 of 5 free throws. Except for missing three-pointers, his stats of 17 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists were impeccable.
After the start of the 4th quarter, the Mavericks took the lead in attacking, and Nowitzki took the lead. He came up against Ibaka's defense at the right elbow, hit two long points, and narrowed the point difference to 1 point!
"Shh!"
Hearing the huge boos erupting from the Ford Center Arena, Nowitzki looked calm. He only wanted to pursue the victory of the game, and he would not consider other things at all.
"OKC! OKC! OKC!"
Amidst the rhythmic cheers from the Oklahoma City fans, Guigui quickly passed the ball to Li Ze from beyond the three-point line.
Just received the ball at the elbow area on the right side of the free throw line, and took a quick tentative step with his left foot. Kidd, who was on the line, had not had time to double-team. !
"Shua!" The two-pointer was hit steadily.
After the goal, Li Ze threw his fist in celebration, and the Oklahoma City fans shouted excitedly. The point difference came to three points again, which seemed much safer.
"Although Kayce's three-pointer was off tonight, his shooting percentage is still good. Dirk's performance in the first three quarters was perfect. Let's see if he can lead the team to come back against the wind in the fourth quarter."
Jeff Van Gundy sent out the poisoned milk again, and in the next few minutes, Nowitzki was milked.
Fortunately, the Mavericks' defense was online, and the Thunder's shooting percentage was not high, so the point difference was only widened to 5 points.
Strike the iron!Still strike!
Nowitzki hit 3 irons in a row, which made Ibaka, who had been at a disadvantage in the series, very excited. His defense worked?
In the Mavericks' attack, Nowitzki no longer insisted on jumping back. After three threats, he accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his left hand, and directly picked the basket with Ibaka's defense on his shoulders!
"squeak!"
"boom"
Nowitzki, who lost his center of gravity, fell to the ground, saw the ball knock out of the basket, slapped the floor annoyedly, then quickly adjusted his breathing, and walked to the free throw line.
Two free throws were made, and the point difference came to three points again. Coach Brooks requested a timeout.
"Three point difference, it's hard to predict the final outcome. The Thunder lost the best opportunity to expand the score. I must praise the Mavericks' defense. Tyson Chandler once again showed his excellent ability to protect the frame. "
Mark Jackson didn't expect that this game was not an offensive battle, but an iron battle, but he still affirmed the performance of the Mavericks. The veterans are worthy of praise!
After returning from the timeout, the two sides entered the stage of responding to the ball again.
With Nowitzki's shooting percentage declining, Marion successfully took over the offensive banner of the Mavericks.
On the left flank outside the three-point line, using Nowitzki's outside cover, Marion cut into the throw and scored 2 points.
Li Ze caught the ball in the left block and held the ball. After a feint, he made a forced shot, twisted his body and threw 2 points in response!
The Mavericks scored and moved the ball quickly from the outside. Marion, who was on the right flank outside the three-point line, accelerated the breakthrough with the ball in his right hand after receiving the pass, causing Durant's foul and two free throws.
Turtle performed a high pick-and-roll outside the three-point line, suddenly Kidd, went inside, caused a foul by Chandler, and also scored two free throws.
Marion cut around the elbow area on the left side of the free throw line suddenly, received a pass from Nowitzki, and made a high layup.
Looking back, Durant successfully created a big loop on Marion, the referee blew his whistle, stood on the free throw line easily, and responded with two free throws again.
In this round, coach Carlisle on the sidelines completely broke his defense and yelled at the linesman:
"This is not a basketball move at all, my player just touched him!!"
The assistant coach saw Carlisle's grim look, and quickly pulled him back to the bench. At this time, you must not take a T, every point is extremely important.
The Oklahoma City fans at the scene saw that the head coach of the Mavericks seemed to be in a hurry, and they all happily booed and taunted.
But the more intense competition also made the audience feel nervous, and the exclamation and cheers continued to ring out.
With 1 minute and 22 seconds left in the game, the Thunder still led by 3 points.
In the last 2 minutes, the Mavericks put on Jason Terry again, and Kidd quickly dribbled across the half court after driving the baseline.
The Oklahoma City fans couldn't sit still anymore, they all stood up and shouted loudly, cheering for the home team:
"Defense! Defense! Defense!"
Li Ze completed the steal at the last moment of the last game, so the Mavericks played very conservatively this time. They did not pass the ball continuously from the outside, but wanted Nowitzki to receive the ball as soon as possible.
After completing the cross-screening in the three-second zone, Nowitzki quickly came to the right block to ask for the ball with his back, but due to the decline in physical fitness, Ibaka successfully defended several times in a row.
With still time to attack, Kidd did not pass the ball easily, but threw the ball to Jason Terry on the outside, and then made an offensive gesture again.
The moment Jason Terry received the ball, Li Ze's defense stuck up, covering the opponent with his body, not giving the opponent a chance to easily play the ball.
Under the oppressive defense, Jason Terry kept protecting the ball with his back. When he saw Nowitzki coming to the three-point line, he immediately wanted to play a pick-and-roll, but Li Ze quickly squeezed through the screen.
The Oklahoma City fans at the scene noticed that the Mavericks' attack time was only 5 seconds left, and they all screamed excitedly.
Jason Terry was blocked by Li Ze and had no chance to make a move. At the last moment, he gave the ball to Nowitzki at the top of the arc. shake.
Ibaka was not affected by Nowitzki's fake action, and there was not much time left in the attack, so he kept raising his hands and did not give Nowitzki easy shot space.
Seeing that 24 seconds were about to expire, Nowitzki tilted his body after the feint, facing Ibaka's defense, and shot at the buzzer from outside the three-point line!
The slightly backward shot made the ball draw a huge arc, and finally fell into the net accurately under the watchful eyes of the Oklahoma City fans.
"Tough shot! Dirk for three!"
"He got it! Unbelievable!"
The magical three-pointer made the commentator Mike Breen shout crazily.
The Mavericks tied the score, and with 58 seconds left in the game, Coach Brooks immediately called for a timeout.
The Oklahoma City fans at the scene first exclaimed, and then immediately booed loudly. After scoring the goal, Nowitzki yelled up to the sky, and then beat his chest wildly.
Kidd was equally excited, and rushed directly to Nowitzki. The two veterans celebrated in the center of the field after a chest bump.
"As long as the next round is held, the Mavericks will have a chance to regain the initiative. This is the role of superstars. Nowitzki has been missing three-pointers in the game, and finally hit the most critical shot at the last moment of the final!"
Jeff Van Gundy's tone was also a little excited. He didn't expect the Mavericks to persist until the last moment. Mark Jackson also said:
"In the next offensive round, the Thunder must score a goal, otherwise the initiative will be handed over to the Mavericks. It's time to test the young team. Let's see how the boys will perform!"
After returning from a timeout, Li Ze sent a sideline ball in the frontcourt. After receiving the pass, Guigui did not rush to attack, but slowly controlled the ball from beyond the three-point line.
At the last moment, the tactics are of course as simple as possible. Ibaka and Perkins both sank to the bottom line, and Li Ze and Durant began to cross-screen with the two big men in the three-second zone.
Almost exactly the same tactics as the Mavericks at the last moment, Durant, who had declined in physical fitness, was completely restrained by Marion's pursuit and defense.
When Li Ze saw this situation, after slipping to the bottom line, he didn't directly bounce out when he came to the bottom line. Instead, he raised his right hand and made a gesture.
The offensive clock was ticking away, and the Oklahoma City fans at the scene began to shout loudly to cheer for the home team:
"OKC! OKC! OKC!"
With 9 seconds left on the offensive clock, Turtle, who was beyond the three-point line, directly protected the ball with his back, pressed Kidd on the three-point line, and firmly controlled the ball with his left hand.
The agreed moment of attack has arrived, and Li Ze, who is near the baseline, starts instantly and bounces directly to the left flank beyond the three-point line.
DeShaun Stevenson exhausted all his strength and chased desperately. The moment Li Ze came to the three-point line and received a pass from the turtle, the opponent's defense had already rotated.
There were 6 seconds left in the attack time, and there was no chance to shoot directly at the first time. Li Ze dribbled the ball with his right hand under the crotch to adjust the rhythm of the attack.
Then lowered the center of gravity of the body and dribbled the ball under the crotch twice in a row. DeShawn Stevenson seemed to have predicted Li Ze's movement, and immediately stepped forward, and the defensive center of gravity moved forward instantly.
As soon as the opponent moved, Li Ze directly exerted force on his feet, quickly retreated, facing Deshaun Stevenson's block, and shot a jumper at the buzzer outside the three-point line!
"Buzz!"
When the 24 seconds are up, the buzzer sounds.
There was a moment of silence in the Ford Center arena. The ball hit the bottom of the basket and hit the net with a thud, and everyone shouted crazily!
"BANG! BANG!"
"Kayce From Downtown!"
"How did he do that? Oh my god!"
In ESPN's commentary booth, Mike Breen stood up and yelled frantically.
The Ford Center Arena also instantly turned into a sea of blue and white, and many excited fans threw their white handkerchiefs away.
Regaining a three-point lead, the Oklahoma City fans realized that they were about to touch the floor of the finals!
"Oh!"
After scoring the goal, Li Ze raised his arms and shouted. Afterwards, Guigui and Durant also hugged Li Ze and retreated to the half court.
Coach Carlisle on the sidelines requested a timeout for the first time, and then took a deep breath to calm himself down. In 34 seconds, the team still has a chance!
"This is the MVP, this is the superstar. Kayce didn't feel good beyond the three-point line in this game, but at the last moment, he hit the most crucial goal! This is really a wonderful game!"
Jeff Van Gundy crazily praised Li Ze's performance with extremely fast speech, and Mark Jackson, who had been chanting God just now, also calmed down his emotions at this time, and then said:
"Whether it's a quick two-pointer or a direct three-pointer, the Mavericks must score in the next round!"
For the Thunder, the defense in this round is very clear. They are determined not to give three points, and they are determined not to give the opponent the opportunity to add penalties. Quick two points are acceptable!
Even if it is a penalty shootout, Li Ze and Durant's free throws in this game are also very good. As long as the opponent's timeout is exhausted, the game will be completely over.
Kidd made a quick sideline kick in the frontcourt. Jason Terry got the ball from outside the three-point line.
At the same time, Nowitzki and Tyson Chandler completed a cross screen in the three-second zone, quickly came to the outside of the three-point line, received a pass from Kidd, feinted, and flew Ibaka.
Amidst the exclamation of the Oklahoma City fans at the scene, taking advantage of the time difference, he twisted his body and shot a jumper from outside the three-point line!
"Bang!" Angrily strike!
The long rebound popped out, and Durant immediately took control of the ball. The Mavericks had no choice but to foul.
"what!"
Durant, who was holding the ball, screamed excitedly. The Ford Center Arena was completely blown up. As long as they scored both free throws, they would win Tianwangshan.
When Durant stood at the free throw line, the fans were quiet.
The first free throw was hit steadily, and cheers erupted again. When the second free throw was hit again, the coach Brooks on the sidelines couldn't help clenching his fists to celebrate.
"5 points difference! The Mavericks still have a timeout, and it will be difficult for them to recover such a point difference."
Mark Jackson saw the Mavericks players returning to the bench in silence, and felt sorry for the veterans, but competitive sports are sometimes so cruel, and there is no respect for the old and the young on the field.
In 28 seconds, the Mavericks quickly scored two points. Immediately afterwards, the Thunder requested a timeout and served in the front court. Li Ze successfully received the ball. The Mavericks fouled and made two free throws again.
Amidst the loud cheers from the Oklahoma City fans, the Mavericks, who were serving from the baseline, dribbled a three-pointer after halftime, and the time ran out quickly.
"Buzz!"
Li Ze and his teammates began to celebrate wildly, and the Ford Center Arena was filled with jubilation.
In the end, at 103:108, the Thunder at home struggled to defeat the Mavericks and won the battle of Tianwangshan. The series came to a score of 3:2.
李泽本场比赛20中10,其中三分球8中2,罚球7中7,拿到29分7篮板6助攻1盖帽1失误。
29 points is also the highest score tonight, so Li Ze accepted an interview with ESPN senior reporter Doris Burke on the sidelines after the game.
The Oklahoma City fans at the scene were still celebrating wildly, so the blonde female reporter had to raise her volume:
"Kayce, congratulations for winning G5, can you briefly describe your current mood?"
"Oh! I'm so happy, because after winning this game, even if we get to the tie-breaker, the game will still go back to Oklahoma City. This is a great encouragement for us, because we have the best team in the league. Good fans!"
"At the same time, I also want to pay tribute to the Mavericks. We still have a lot to learn from the veterans."
Doris Burke saw many players coming to Li Ze to celebrate wildly, and immediately ended the interview with empathy, and said from Li Ze with a smile:
"Keep going, Kayce, hope to see you on the stage of the finals!"
"thank you for your support!"
After the interview, Li Ze and his teammates came to the sidelines to celebrate wildly. None of the Oklahoma City fans left the field, and everyone was enjoying the moment of victory.
For Oklahoma City fans, the Finals seemed like an unattainable dream, but when the dream came true, everyone was overjoyed!
America's social media was once again swamped by the battle of Tianwang Mountain in the Western Conference Finals.
Nowitzki scored 26 points, 9 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 turnovers. When he hit that magical three-pointer, many fans were cheering for his goal.
It's just that when Li Ze made a three-pointer that almost sealed the victory, few people continued to discuss Nowitzki. The winner deserves to be praised, while the loser has no choice but to leave.
When Li Ze returned home, he could only sigh helplessly when he saw a bunch of messages on his phone. On the surface, having too many brothers was also a problem.
After a simple shower, when he came to the collection room, he saw a pile of crystal trophies and a small bronze figure, and Li Ze smiled in his heart:
"It's time to add a spherical trophy. The trophy for the division champion must look better!"
