Chapter 124 124. Anxiety
"Are all their Chinese students monsters? Last time I gave a speech at Harvard's School of Physical Education, there were Chinese students in it. I originally thought that special admissions for sports should not be very good at studying. Anyway, I only entered after graduating from university for four years. In the NBA, I asked this group of freshmen a question that I thought was difficult. Who knows that a Chinese student answered it after a glance. It turned out that they were 20 points behind in the sat test. God, it is said that he is still For those with poor grades, those who came to study in the United States after high school are even better at studying!" O'Neal's brain circuit was strange, and he didn't know how to get here.

Kenny Smith clutched his forehead, how could the chatter get further and further away, but the director did not interrupt the nonsense of the two people who had nothing to do with the game. From the statistics of the live broadcast of the two in the past period of time, the nonsense between the two in the game not only had no effect The ratings, on the contrary, have a tendency to increase the ratings!

"That's right, I heard that in our famous university, the best grades are all Chinese students..."

Looking back on the field, Carlisle replaced all five players who had lost their fighting spirit. Carter, Marion, and Nowitzki were replaced in advance. Harris and White replaced the point guard and center respectively, and Marion moved to the power forward position. .

The Lakers did not make any substitutions, and McCollum, Nick Young, Liu Ren, Antetokounmpo, and Whiteside continued to play.

Pause back to Mavericks right to the ball.

Nowitzki asked for the ball in the low post for singles.

Nowitzki turned over from a low post and shot an independent jumper. Antetokounmpo really couldn't defend against the power forward with the number one offense in history. Nowitzki hit a jumper from close range to help the Mavericks stabilize the situation that was about to collapse.

After the momentum came out, the Lakers seemed to have found their shooting accuracy all of a sudden. Liu Ren continued to pick and roll with Antetokounmpo and ran into the interior. The Mavericks immediately shrunk the interior to prevent Liu Ren from taking off. The ball was passed to McCollum who ran to the gap in the left corner, and the latter adjusted a three-pointer.

85 to 95, 10 points difference!
Immediately after Carter broke through and gave Marion the ball, the latter missed a three-pointer, Whiteside protected the rebound, and Nick Young chased and hit a three-pointer in the Lakers counterattack, and the point difference became 7 points!
The Lakers can't stop their momentum!The Lakers and the Heat may not be able to hold back the momentum of the Lakers, let alone the Mavericks?
At the time of the official timeout of the fourth quarter, the Lakers successfully overtook the Mavericks by one point 103 to 102!
During the timeout, assistant coach Mark Madsen called the players together: "Hey guys, don't relax, we played well just now, we are stronger than each other, but don't relax..."

Originally, D'Antoni should have done this kind of thing, but D'Antoni has never been a coach who is good at dealing with players, and he would not say these morale-boosting words.

Over time, Kupchak felt that this was not possible, so he instructed the teaching assistants to help with this. Today is the first time.

The players felt that it was very fresh. The Lakers had never had a coach to boost morale before, especially the "old" Lakers such as Liu Ren and Thackeray, who glanced in surprise at the proud first assistant coach Dan D'Antoni.

Originally, even if D'Antoni is not good at boosting morale, it should be done by his brother Dan D'Antoni, the first assistant coach, but this first assistant coach has always had a bad relationship with the players. The conflict between D'Antoni and Liu Ren was revealed to the players.

Standing in an assistant coach and the team's future core, the players of course chose to support Liu Ren. Dan D'Antoni was even more unhappy with Liu Ren because of this.

Of course, these are just gossip rumors, at least there is no real evidence to reveal this matter.

Back from the timeout, both sides knew that it was time for a decisive victory.

Now the Lakers are taking the initiative on the court. The game lasted 6 minutes and 49 seconds. The Lakers scored 6 points in more than 28 minutes. This scoring ability overwhelmed the Mavericks!
For the Lakers, Gasol replaced Antetokounmpo, and McCollum, Nick Young, Liu Ren, and Whiteside continued to play.

McCollum was very excited and was finally left on the court at a critical moment!

On the Mavericks side, Ellington replaced the underperforming Harris, Dalembert replaced White, and Carter, Marion, and Nowitzki continued to play on the court.

Mavericks attack!

Nowitzki ran outside to catch the ball, and Gasol pulled out to defend. Nowitzki's three-point threat was like Ray Allen from the outside. He can be said to be the originator of space-based power forwards.

Nowitzki is already very tired. Many Mavericks fans think that he should not be used to death in Nowitzki's career. If it should be bad, it should be bad. A group of veterans in the team are very dissatisfied with using it to death.
Nowitzki took a deep breath, pretended to break through and catch a fallback jumper from outside the three-point line!

Gasol was not deceived by Nowitzki's fake action, the defense was very good, and he blocked as much as possible to interfere with Nowitzki's shooting.

However, Nowitzki still throws the ball in!
For a while, Gasol felt like he was facing Nowitzki in the 2011 playoffs, and he could make it!

105 to 103, the Mavericks lead by two points!
The Lakers attack, Liu Ren and Gasol pick and roll, just when the Mavericks thought Liu Ren was going to make an air cut, Liu Ren withdrew from the three-point line and used Gasol to block the opponent's defensive player from a three-pointer!

The ball spun around the hoop and fell into the hoop!

The Lakers overtook again, leading by one point 106 to 105!
In the second quarter, the Mavericks relied on Carter's furious Nowitzki to make up the knife and approach the score. In the fourth quarter, it was Nowitzki's turn to go crazy and Carter made up the knife to compete with the Lakers.

The Lakers and Mavericks scored consecutively and took the lead alternately.

The two old men, Nowitzki and Carter, seem to have returned to the top, scoring consecutive points, and they are holding the score tightly with a group of freshmen from the Lakers!
With 27 seconds left, Carter fouled Gasol and made two free throws. The score became 125!
D'Antoni called a timeout!
D'Antoni's arrangement is of course offensive, and the only purpose is to hand the ball to Liu Ren.

Back from the timeout, the Lakers attack.

Sure enough, from the start of serving, Liu Ren was pressed by the opponent, and the ball finally reached Nick Young's hands.

Nick Young is the kind of player who only needs to be determined. Liu Ren and Gasol are heavily defended. Whiteside knows that he is not good enough in singles and consciously prepares to grab rebounds and make a second attack.

Opportunity in hand Nick - Young will pass the ball?

Of course I came by myself!
Nick Young made a direct three-pointer across the three-point line!

Miss!

fortunately!Whiteside grabs an offensive rebound!
