Chapter 60 First home win
Nowitzki is the earliest shooting inside player. His appearance can be said to have changed fans' perception of power forwards. Many Mavericks fans describe him as a 7-foot shooting guard. This sentence has a certain truth.

Staples Center fell silent again as the basketball hit the net with precision.

108-104, the Lakers trailed by 4 points!
Xu Tian dribbled the ball across the half court, and while dribbling, he saw Nick Young's position out of the corner of his eye-he ran from the left wing at 45 degrees to the left bottom corner.

Delong came to the top of the arc and defended Xu Tian closely.

There is not much time left in the game, the referee will relax the penalty scale, and can use stronger physical confrontation against Xu Tian.

Xu Tian has a strong physique, but it is still difficult to launch an attack under full-strength confrontation. He evaded Deron's close defense with a dexterous dribble, and passed the ball to Nick Young in the left corner without looking at anyone.

Nick Yang held the ball without adjusting it, and raised his three-point sword out of its sheath, which aroused [-] roars of pride!

108-107!

Carlisle and Scott both stood on the sidelines, but their respective attitudes were very different.

Scott applauded and encouraged the players on the field, telling them that they did a good job and that if they continued their performance, they would have the hope of winning.

Carlisle yelled at Parsons, telling him to focus on defense and not give Nick Young an open shot.

The fans at the Staples Center shouted "Defense!", causing the five players on the field to have a strong fighting spirit. They tried their best to defend and forced the Mavericks to find no space to attack.

Nowitzki made a hasty shot before the 24-second violation.

McGrady was the one who defended Nowitzki best. In this defensive round, Kobe took on the role of McGrady, and barely interfered with Nowitzki's shooting. The basketball hit the rebound but failed to hit.

Pachulia scrambled for a position on the inside, put Baska, who was not very tall, behind him, and stretched out his right hand to point the popped basketball into the basket.But Nowitzki's shot was very powerful. After the basketball hit the backboard, it quickly bounced towards the free throw line, forming a long backboard that prevented him from touching the ball.

Xu Tian stood in front of the free throw line, reacted quickly, and got a defensive rebound before Parsons could react.

Nick Young quickly ran towards the frontcourt, ready to receive Xu Tian's pass.

Xu Tian looked back and saw him, and threw the ball with his right hand.A free-moving basketball that flies exactly where Nick Young can reach it, allowing him to pick it up with ease.

Nick Young has a show-loving soul in his heart. When he picked up the basketball and started it, he was still thinking about how to dunk the basketball.However, after he took off, he realized that it was difficult to dunk the ball. In order not to lose his position, he ended the attack with a pull-up layup.

With 1 minute and 33 seconds left in the game, the Lakers finally overtook the score and led 109-108.

Carlisle called a 20-second timeout, called Harris to his side, and put him on the field in place of Parsons to guard Nick Young.

20 seconds is very short, and it is time to play again in a blink of an eye.

Xu Tian walked beside Kobe and said, "Find a way to get down, and I will pass the ball to you."

Kobe's desire to attack has already been high, but Xu Tian's touch was hot just now, and he didn't want to disrupt Xu Tian's offensive rhythm, so he didn't make a move.Now that he heard Xu Tian's words, he could finally attack with confidence.

The first thing the Lakers do is defend. No matter who will attack in the next round, they must first defend the Mavericks' ball.

Carlisle still trusted Deron in the final stage, and he initiated the offense, using a pick-and-roll with Nowitzki.

Although Harris and Felton's shooting ability is not outstanding, but at this critical moment, no player can be released.

Nick Young and Xu Tian followed Felton and Harris to run, completely unable to help defend Nowitzki, and could only let Nance Jr. face him on the defensive end alone.

Nowitzki holds the ball behind him at the free throw line and singles Nance Jr.

The sound of the audience gave Nance Jr. infinite strength. When Nowitzki made a shot, he jumped with all his strength and almost touched the basketball.

Spectators and commentators alike were surprised by Nance Jr.'s defense, but that didn't change the result.

Dirk Nowitzki's difficult shot, a hollow hit without any suspense.

110-109, with 1 minute and 15 seconds left.

Xu Tian dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, dribbled twice in a row and changed direction, getting rid of Delong's close defense.

Nick Young ran from the bottom line, from the left sideline to the right sideline, and when he crossed with Kobe, he slightly delayed Felton's defense.

Nance Jr. ran out of the paint, took away Nowitzki's defense, and left only Pachulia and Bass in the paint.

After Kobe got rid of Felton's follow-up defense, he turned and ran towards the penalty area, and the basketball came into his hands the next moment.

Bass was on the left, Pachulia was in the middle, and Bryant was attacking from the right.

Pachulia thought Kobe couldn't pass the ball, left Bass completely, and rushed towards Kobe.

Bryant reached behind Pachulia with his right hand and passed the ball to the open Bass.

Bass took off the ball and finished the offensive round with a smart layup.

111-110, 56 seconds left.

Seeing the cooperation between Kobe and Bass, Yu Jia opened his eyes wide and said, "Kobe would choose to pass the ball at a critical moment. Is this still the Kobe we are familiar with?"

Director Zhang just praised Kobe's passing, and quickly followed up with the explanation, saying: "Although Kobe is a shooting guard, his passing ability is also top-notch. It's just that his passing ability is a bit inferior compared to his offensive ability. Some viewers will have the misunderstanding of Kobe not passing the ball."

Yu Jia said with a smile: "Your understanding of the Lakers is incomparable to ordinary people, so I still have to listen to you."

When Deron dribbled the ball across half court, Nowitzki had already arrived at the top of the arc and waited, ready to cover him and use the inherent tactics to play the offensive round.

The tactics used by each offense in the NBA are basically fixed, and the more disciplined the team, the more so.

Felton and Harris are also doing running positions, but the running positions of these two are very different from the Lakers.Felton runs laterally outside the three-point line, and Harris cuts to the inside.

Nowitzki's range is enough, he doesn't need to attack outside the paint, so it gives the defender the space to get into the penalty area.

Nowitzki took the ball and shook it in front of Nance Jr., and after deceiving his defensive attention, he shot independently with the golden rooster.

Nowitzki's shot point is high, the arc of the basketball shot is higher, and Nance Jr.'s outstretched arm can't even block his line of sight.

Superstars can always accomplish tasks that ordinary stars cannot, especially at critical moments of the game.

The basketball went into the net, 111-110, with 38 seconds left.

Scott called a timeout to set up the next round of offense.

Madsen handed the tactical board to Scott, and Scott drew the eagle's offensive tactics with a marker in his hand, wanting to give Xu Tian the right to make this offensive shot.

Xu Tian denied Scott's idea and asked Kobe to attack in the next round.Now the Mavericks' defensive attention is on him. Although they still don't know how to double-team, it is safe for Kobe to attack.

Although Scott was a little unhappy, he didn't attack.He knew that James also denied Spoelstra when he first came to the Heat, but the two successfully partnered for four years and won two championship trophies, so he can bear it.

Louis Williams replaced Nance Jr. to increase the firepower on the offensive end.

It was still Xu Tian who dribbled the ball across the half court and came to the top of the arc to watch his teammates run.

Kobe was followed by Harris, and he ran with all his strength, not giving Kobe any open opportunities.Kobe slipped the bottom line and circled around. Although he used the cover of Bass, he still didn't get rid of Harris.

Xu Tian dribbled the ball to the free throw line, and Felton clung to him, not giving him any room to shoot.

Harris hugged Bryant when he stopped running, keeping him from receiving the ball.

Xu Tian couldn't pass the ball to Kobe!
The players on the Lakers bench all stood up, looking nervously at Xu Tian who was dribbling, expecting him to score the ball.

The audience at the scene was the same, more than 2 eyes were fixed on Xu Tian who was dribbling, to see what kind of offense he would play.

Alice prayed to God in her heart, praying for God to bless the Lakers' offense to score.She grew up in the United States and believed in Jesus.

Seeing Clarkson going down, Xu Tian gave up the idea of ​​overpowering Felton, hit the ground behind his left hand and passed the ball, allowing Clarkson to attack.

Clarkson catches the ball and takes a shot under Pachulia's high-pressure defense, but the shot is blocked head-on.

Xu Tian quickly got rid of Felton, hugged the basketball that became a free ball with both hands, and threw it high against Pachulia's defense.

The basketball seemed to feel the warm atmosphere of the scene, jumping happily on the rim, and in order to make the happiness more intense, it entered the net steadily.

Carlisle had nothing to say about Xu Tian's goal this time.Pachulia's defensive action was strictly speaking a foul, but even so, Xu Tian's high throw still scored, which made him unable to blame the players.

112-111!

The Lakers lead with the last 15 seconds left.

Carlisle called for a timeout to set up a final play.

Now the Mavericks have two options. One is to press the time to attack and try to kill the Lakers before the end of regular time; the other is to make a quick goal and then use foul tactics to bet that the Lakers' free throws are not accurate.

Carlisle put his heart down and arranged the tactics of the last attack, letting Nowitzki press the time to fight.

Hibbert replaced Clarkson and added height inside to defend.

Harris sent the ball up front to Deron, and Deron and Nowitzki played the pick-and-roll, continuing their most sure way of attack.

Hibbert received Xu Tian's instruction, stood in the position where Nowitzki would arrive in advance, and raised his hands to interfere with his shooting.

Nowitzki received the ball with 4.2 seconds left in the attack time, ignored Hibbert's defense, and the Golden Rooster made an independent shot.

113-112, time 3.4 seconds.

The Mavericks players thought the Lakers would call a timeout and slack when retreating.

Kobe ran out of the baseline and passed the ball vigorously to Xu Tian who was about to come down.

Carlisle cursed inwardly, and watched helplessly as Xu Tian, ​​who was passing by like a gust of wind, took off in the frontcourt.

The ball left Xu Tian's hand with 0.4 seconds left in the regular time, the goal light was on, and the game was over!
