Chapter 282
The only mistake: it was Li Lei's choice, not Riley's idea.

The Heat attack.

Li Lei runs without the ball.

Josh Howard subconsciously pursued Li Lei.

But on the other side, Wade forced his way inside.

Adrian failed to guard, and Nowitzki was forced to shrink to the basket to defend Wade.

Wade made a wonderful pass and went straight to the bottom corner.

Posey catches the ball, adjusts and releases.

Nowitzki pounced back again, but it was too late.

Swish!
Posey's three-pointer went up and down.

9: 12.

"Hey, good! Posey hit a three-pointer as soon as he came on the court. This guy doesn't need to warm up at all, he is always on call!"

Director Zhang Weiping shouted excitedly.

Then, the Mavericks attack.

Nowitzki quickly rushed to the frontcourt, and sure enough, he found that Li Lei was following him.

And Nowitzki noticed that Li Lei showed him a sweet smile.

Nowitzki subconsciously smiled back.

However, in the next second, Li Lei stretched out his arms and wrapped them around Nowitzki.

Li Lei: "Guest, please enjoy the hand-to-hand combat meal!"

Nowitzki: "..."

Since the promulgation of the NO hand check rule, the confrontation of the alliance has declined.

However, the NHC rules are limited. The free throw line and the area above the extension line, the defender cannot use the hands, elbows and other parts to contact the ball holder at will.

In other words, the area below the free throw line is still a hell of hand-to-hand combat.

This rule liberates the outside players and has little effect on the big men inside.

But for Nowitzki, you said that he is an outside player, and it seems that there is nothing wrong with him.

After all, most of Nowitzki's shots are in the middle distance, or even farther.

But there is one more thing you have to consider.

This is the finals, the referee's whistle scale will be very loose, intentionally tolerate more players dominating the game.

Li Lei has already confirmed this point.

After all, before O'Neal singled out Diop, many of Diop's small moves could be blown or not, but the referee didn't blow.

Besides, this is the Heat's home court.

The referee's scale for the Heat will only be looser.

So Li Lei went straight to the hand-to-hand fight.

At this moment, Li Lei and Nowitzki looked at the referee in unison.

The referee glanced at the two, and naturally turned his attention to Terry who was holding the ball.

This is tacit approval of Li Lei's intensity.

At this moment, both Li Lei and Nowitzki understood that the real war had begun.

Nowitzki glanced to the right, but suddenly started to the left.

Eye fakes?
Useless!

Li Lei's two arms are wrapped around Nowitzki's sides, which can more accurately judge Nowitzki's actual movement, and can also delay Nowitzki's speed to a certain extent.

This is basketball at the beginning of the century, because the scale is loose, so the defender has an advantage.

Defense wins championships!
That's how the saying came about.

The formation of the two strong teams, the Spurs and the Pistons, is based on defense.

Sensing Nowitzki's actual movement, Li Lei quickly followed him, clinging to him like brown sugar.

Nowitzki didn't get rid of Li Lei for the first time, and didn't stop at all, and directly changed direction and retreated.

This set of coherent movements deceived Li Lei and opened up the space smoothly.

Terry, who was holding the ball, saw the opportunity and immediately passed the ball with a lob.

"As expected of Dirk, Walker and Haslem can't defend, and Stone, the best defensive player, can't."

Terry couldn't help thinking about it.

But at this moment, Terry suddenly saw: Li Lei turned his head and smiled strangely at him.

Terry's heart sank.

Immediately, Li Lei looked up at the basketball in the air and jumped high.

"This guy, he did it on purpose!"

"He was not freed by Dirk at all, he deliberately tricked me into passing the ball!"

Terry responded.

But it's too late.

Li Lei came out halfway and directly intercepted Terry's pass.

Li Lei found the white chocolate immediately.

The Heat are on a fast break,
White Chocolate assisted Posey for a layup.

Swish!
11: 12.

The Heat returned to defense.

Terry gritted his teeth and looked at Li Lei: "You treacherous bastard!"

Li Lei smiled: "Go back and look in the mirror to see how impotent and furious you are."

Terry: "..."

The Mavericks continued to attack.

Li Lei continued to engage in hand-to-hand combat with Nowitzki.

Of course, Li Lei didn't set another trap.

Some tricks can only be used once.

Now, it can only be a real hand-to-hand combat.

Relying on his nimble footsteps, Li Lei always stuck to Nowitzki, sometimes pressing with his chest, sometimes blocking with his back, sometimes pulling with his hands, sometimes stirring with his arms... he did everything he could.

Along with the hand-to-hand combat, Nowitzki's good temper began to surge with enthusiasm, his blood boiled, his face became more and more fierce, and he kept fighting with Li Lei.

Is this really "fighting with a ball"?
Do not!
The two can no longer care about the ball.

Barkley, Miller Sr., and Smith laughed heartily.

"Yes, that's it! That's how basketball has to be played."

A few old guys applauded while watching.

"Elbow him! Yes, that's it. Nice job, Dirk."

"Pull him, hold him. Fine, Stone did a good job."

"Butt-butt him, yes. That's Charles' trick."

……

That's good.

Barkley was still on the sidelines.

"These two guys, the movements are still too soft, go straight to the feet!"

"Just now, when Stone stretched out his foot, Dirk could fall and eat shit."

"At that moment before, Dirk used his head to turn Stone over."

……

"Enough! Enough!"

Smith hurriedly stopped his increasingly vocal partner: "Charles, we are watching a basketball game, not wrestling."

Barkley opened his mouth, but said nothing.

As a public figure and narrator, you still have to pay attention to your words.

However, the excitement in Barkley's eyes could not be concealed at all.

Yes!

As a man, who would not like this intense scene of muscle collision, blood boiling, and sweat splashing.

Moreover, as Li Lei and Nowitzki made the first move, the other eight people on the field also unknowingly increased their confrontation, frequent small movements, and all kinds of pushing and shoving.

A bloody scene of a cage fight.

And what followed was that the scoring on both sides became very difficult, all kinds of crazy strikes.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

At the same time, the referee's whistle began to sound, Didi!

Drip!

Drip!

In the next 3 minutes, the two teams did not score a goal, and all the points came from free throws.

The Heat made 7 of 5 free throws and the Mavericks made 6 of 2 free throws.

The Heat took the opportunity to overtake the score.

16: 14.

The Heat regained the lead.

This is also inevitable.

The entire league knows that the Heat have toughness and iron blood flowing in their bones. After Mourning, Haslem, Li Lei, Wade, and Posey are all in the same line.

On the contrary, the Mavericks have never known what defense is since the old Nelson era.

Avery Johnson brought the Spurs' defensive philosophy, but it's not something that can change in a short time.

After all, Nowitzki, the absolute core of the Mavericks, has always been a softie in the eyes of fans.

Although Nowitzki is active on the defensive end, he is naturally slow and his defense is only barely qualified.

There are still a few minutes left in the first quarter.

The Heat made another substitution.

Payton and Mourning, the two "remnants" of the old era, appeared on the stage.

The Mavericks also started to make substitutions.

After all, this defensive strength is too great, except for stamina monsters, it is difficult for most players to keep playing.

Devin Harris and Dampier played time one after another.

As soon as Harris came out, he wanted to beat Payton with speed.

But he suddenly discovered that this game was completely different from the previous regular season and playoffs.

He had just started, and Peyton's whole body came up against him, directly confronting him toughly.

Harris not only failed to surpass others, but also made mistakes in his hands and was unstable with the ball.

Payton has quick eyes and quick hands, and directly steals.

"Old man, it's gloves!"

The only man in NBA history to receive DPOY as a point guard.

The only guy who dared to claim to limit Jordan by 50%.

Peyton gave Harris a contemptuous look.

Young people who haven't experienced the old days don't know what it means to fight with a ball.

Similarly, Dampier is huge, but he is at a disadvantage in front of Mourning.

"Old man, he's a tough guy!"
