"Dude, you scored a three!"

Amidst the cheers at the scene, Sun fans also approached Ling Yang one after another.

Marion rushed directly from the bench and hugged Ling Yang.

It wasn't until this time that Ling Yang, who was a little dazed just now, came back to his senses and laughed.

Waiting for Ling Yang to leave the field surrounded by his teammates, the scene finally calmed down a little.

However, most of the Suns fans are smiling.

In the first quarter of the game, the Mavericks actually played extremely well.

At the home court of the Suns, the Mavericks did not show any timidity at all. They played very proactively. Not only did Marion, the core of the team, commit 2 fouls early, but the score was also extremely stalemate, and they even took the lead just now. .

Fortunately, in the last few tens of seconds, Ling Yang shot everywhere.

Although there was a mistake after grabbing the offensive rebound, the pursuit of the whole court not only completed a beautiful block, but also hit a super long-range three-pointer across the court with great luck.

And this kind of performance also helped the Suns successfully take the lead after the first quarter.

At 25:27, the first quarter ended and the Suns led by 2 points.

"Ling's luck is so good! It can be thrown in like this!"

"It seems that God is on our side today!"

……

In the stands, the fans were laughing and chatting, although everyone knew that it was a lucky ball, but it was scored after all.

The fans were chatting, and in the commentary booth, several commentators were also chatting about the game that just ended.

"Ling played really well today. In the first quarter, he scored 9 points, 7 rebounds, 3 blocks and 1 steal. His outstanding performance gave Steve a lot of support!"

El - McCaw Yin's words immediately attracted the approval of Barkley and Kenny - Smith.

"Steve showed his determination in the first quarter. He played the whole quarter and scored 11 points and 3 assists. However, the Mavericks performed very well today. They have made a great improvement on Steve's pass. Very restrictive.

So Ling's offensive and defensive performance is a very strong support for Steve. "

……

At this moment, Nash and Ling Yang, who played a full quarter, were arranged to sit off the court to rest.

After playing the whole quarter, the young and energetic Ling Yang looked very relaxed in his overall physical condition after he left the court.

On Nash's side, he was obviously exhausted, and he was panting slightly while sitting in his seat.

Although the scores of the two teams are extremely stalemate at this time, considering that the game is very likely to be played to the end, D'Antoni dare not continue to put Nash on the court, but must properly protect Nash's physical strength.

Facts have proved that D'Antoni's prediction is also very reasonable.

The degree of stalemate in the game fully met people's expectations for the tiebreaker of the Western Conference Finals. The game was stalemate from the first quarter, although there were alternate leads in the middle, and the point difference sometimes approached double digits.

However, until the last 3 minutes of the game, the point difference between the two teams was still one round.

92:93, there are only 2 minutes and 43 seconds left in the fourth quarter, and the point difference is only 1 point. Neither of the two teams can seal the victory.

Taking advantage of the timeout at this moment, the main players of the two teams are taking the time to rest.

…. Even Ling Yang, whose stamina is over 90, took a lot of time to calm down until now.

In this game, he was indeed full of vitality, although in the next three quarters, he could not perform as well as in the first quarter.

He didn't contribute the fairy ball like the three-pointer at the buzzer, but until now, the data of 24 points, 19 rebounds, 6 blocks and 3 steals is enough to prove his contribution in this game.

After calming down a little, Ling Yang turned his head and looked at Nash whose chest was still heaving.

At this moment, Nash's physical strength has obviously been exhausted rapidly, but his eyes are also extremely firm.

At least this whole season, Ling Yang has never seen Nash look like this.

32 points, 10 assists and 2 steals. This is the data that Nash has handed over so far, which is completely MVP-level data.

It is no exaggeration to say that at several critical moments, Nash was carrying the team forward.

Among them, the most important thing is that Marion is relatively limited in terms of fouls in this game. So far, Marion has committed 5 fouls, and his playing time is also intermittent.

Without Marion, Stoudemire faced increasing defensive pressure, and the game could only be regarded as quite satisfactory. The 17 points scored in such a key game can only be said to be passable.

After the timeout, the two sides returned to the field again, and the Mavericks took the lead in attacking.

After Harris took the serve, he made a brief transition with Terry, and then the ball was directly handed over to Nowitzki.

Nowitzki's offensive state today is also hot. So far, he has scored 32 points.

More importantly, he repeatedly caused damage to Marion today, making the Sun extremely passive.

Nowitzki took the ball again, and Marion's defense was obviously a lot more cautious. After all, he had committed 5 fouls, and if he was not careful, he would leave the field with 6 fouls.

Perhaps grasping Marion's heart, Nowitzki, who got the ball, turned to face the basket.

After a simple tentative step, Nowitzki pulled up and shot without waiting for the flanking attack from the Sun's side.

Firstly, Marion did not expect Nowitzki to shoot so decisively, and secondly, he was worried that he would be easily fouled by Nowitzki if he rushed directly.

So, he just raised his arms and tried to interfere.

Marion's wingspan is excellent. This kind of defense may be effective for many offensive players. However, Nowitzki is ten centimeters taller. At this time, he even has a little backward jump. The interference brought by Marion It is extremely tiny.

Nowitzki's shot was very soft, the basketball fell straight into the net and hit hollow.

94:93, the Mavericks lead by 1 point.

"Suns!"

"attack!

"

Seeing the Mavericks overtake, the Suns fans at the scene were suddenly a little uneasy, and many fans shouted one after another.

At this time, Nash still maintained a fast pace of advancement, received the baseline serve, and rushed to the frontcourt in less than 4 seconds.

At this moment, the Suns players, except for Stoudemire, who was serving the ball, was a step behind, and the rest were already in place.

It's just that the Mavericks' defense at the moment is also doing very well.

… Ling Yang, Marion, and Bell took turns running, but none of them had a good chance to attack.

Seeing this, Nash directly beckoned Stoudemire to run over to pick and roll.

With the help of Stoudemire's pick-and-roll, Nash dribbled into the three-point line. Although the Mavericks knew that the pick-and-roll of the two would easily create opportunities for Stoudemire, but at this time the defensive attention was still more Focus on Nash.

This is mainly because Nash's desire to score today is also very strong. The Mavericks don't just pay attention to his passing.

Attracted by the Mavericks' two defenses, Nash quickly passed the ball to Stoudemire, who started running and cutting in.

Today Stoudemire's offensive efficiency is not too high, and Diop is still very uncomfortable with his defense, especially the offense within the three-second zone.

So at this moment, Stoudemire decisively chose a mid-range jumper.

This ball was a steady hit.

94:95, the Suns regained a 1-point lead.

At this time, the game time has reached 2 minutes and 15 seconds, and the difference is still 1 point.

The Suns fans at the scene gradually couldn't sit still, and they stood up one after another, staring closely at the field.

Although the fans of the Suns were constantly shouting, everyone could feel that the atmosphere had become extremely tense.

The Mavericks did not choose to call a timeout this round. Harris dribbled the ball beyond the three-point line, and then gave it to Nowitzki, who mentioned the high post support.

Ling Yang moved from the side of Josh Howard, but not towards Nowitzki at this time, but towards the three-second zone.

Although Nowitzki held the ball in a high position, Ling Yang felt that given the opponent's mid-range and close-range lethality today, the ball would still attack the inside in all likelihood.

Just when Ling Yang was thinking this way, Nowitzki had already handed the ball to Terry who was running.

After receiving the ball, Terry pulled it out and retreated directly outside the three-point line. At the same time, Nowitzki, who had just passed the ball, quickly moved towards the inside.

Even though Marion had tried his best to push forward, the height and weight of the two of them still couldn't prevent Nowitzki from taking a step outside the three-second zone at a 45-degree angle.

This position is not very deep, but for Nowitzki's offensive range, it is undoubtedly relatively inside.

So Terry's pass was also extremely decisive. Nowitzki had just stuck Marion behind him, and Terry's pass had already arrived.

Nowitzki, who received the ball, was also extremely decisive in attacking. He leaned his back heavily on Marion, seeing that he was about to turn around and shoot a jump shot.

The next moment, Nowitzki quickly dribbled and turned around, directly stuck Marion behind him, and then stormed the basket.

Today Nowitzki has already made such attacks many times, so Marion is obviously on guard for a long time. He reacted immediately and stuck to Nowitzki's side tightly to prevent the impact of the German tanks.

At the same time, Ling Yang, who had been prepared for a long time, also immediately moved forward to flank.

... However, what Ling Yang didn't expect was that Nowitzki's attack was extremely decisive.

He was about to come to Nowitzki's side to attack, and in front, Marion did not lose his position, but under such circumstances, Nowitzki was stepping on the three-second zone line Hold the ball directly to force the shot.

Seeing this scene, both Ling Yang, who rushed forward, and Marion, who was in front of him, jumped up quickly, swiping their two long arms towards the top of Nowitzki's head, trying to create a blow to Nowitzki. some distraction.

However, Nowitzki's shooting point is indeed too high. Even Ling Yang, it is difficult to complete the block under such circumstances, so he can only interfere as much as possible.

Seeing Nowitzki throw the ball, Ling Yang thought about going inside to grab a rebound after landing.

He felt that the defensive pressure he and Marion put on the opponent was enough.

However, he had just landed on the ground, but when he saw Nowitzki's body falling backwards, he thought to himself for a second.

"Oops!"

This idea just flashed through Ling Yang's mind...

"drop!"

The whistle sounded.

At this moment, Ling Yang didn't care about fighting for rebounds, and immediately raised his hands high, trying to attract the referee's attention.

At this time, the bottom line referee ignored Ling Yang's raised hand, but looked at the basketball hitting the basket at the moment.

I saw the basketball bouncing back and forth on the rim several times, and then it rolled towards the rim.

"Wow!

"

Amidst the uproar at the scene, the referee made a penalty gesture.

The goal is valid and a penalty is added.

After Ling Yang saw it, he immediately rushed to the bottom line referee with his hands raised high, and Marion also spread his hands eagerly to show his innocence.

It's just that the referee didn't pay attention to them, but directly gestured towards the technical platform.

Foul No. 31, 6 fouls, left.

Marion fouled out with 6 fouls.

"Shh!

"

Seeing the referee's penalty, the scene was booed immediately.

However, such boos did not affect any situation on the field. After the referee blew his whistle again, Marion had to go to the sidelines.

D'Antoni also immediately made a pause gesture towards the technical table at this moment.

With 1 minute and 56 seconds left in the game, the Mavericks have completed the overtake by virtue of Nowitzki's 2+1. If they make another free throw, they will lead by 2 points.

Nowitzki was extremely brave in this game, but at such a critical moment, Marion, who had been defending Nowitzki throughout the series, was fined 6 fouls and left the field.

The situation is extremely bad for the sun at this moment.

D'Antoni knew that any single round on the court at this time may affect the entire game and the result of the entire season.

So at this time, he had to urgently call a timeout.

Coming to the sidelines, Marion picked up the towel angrily, and wanted to throw it on the ground, but fortunately, he was stopped by the coaching staff in time.

At such a critical moment, technical fouls must not give the Mavericks the opportunity to score easily and widen the point difference.

At this time, Ling Yang put his arms around the shoulder of Marion, his best teammate in the team, and said softly: "Xiao En, you have defended the entire series, so let's leave the last bit of time to it!"

…. Marion raised his head when he heard Ling Yang's words. Before he could speak, Ling Yang had already said to D'Antoni and Gentry: "Coach, let me defend Dirk!"

"Ok?"

Hearing Ling Yang's words, both D'Antoni and Gentry looked at Ling Yang in surprise.

To be honest, they have all communicated quickly just now, and they are going to play Kurt Thomas to face Nowitzki. After all, he is the best low-post defender in the team.

What they didn't expect was that Ling Yang volunteered to defend Nowitzki at this moment.

This undoubtedly made D'Antoni and Gentry hesitate a little.

At this moment, Ling Yang spoke out again, and said very seriously: "The coach asked me to defend, I can defend the inside players!"

Hearing Ling Yang's seriousness, all the Sun players cast their eyes on Ling Yang at this moment.

Nowitzki performed very well throughout the series, and today he performed even more bravely, directly knocking out Marion.

Under such circumstances, the pressure to defend Nowitzki can be imagined.

No matter which inside ball the coach arranges to defend, I believe there is nothing wrong with it.

However, under such circumstances, Ling Yang stood up on his own initiative

If it is really not guarded at the last moment, it may become the sinner of the team's hard work throughout the season.

"Coach, I'm the best defensive player in the league. If I don't play, who will play?"

When Ling Yang made his voice for the third time, and it was a sonorous and forceful voice, all the Sun players looked at Ling Yang with hot eyes.

D'Antoni finally nodded at this time, "Okay, Boris, play, Ling, defend against Dirk!"

Marion, who was still sitting on the bench annoyed just now, stood up with a "whoosh" at this time, and looked at Ling Yang with piercing eyes:

"Dude, that guy is in your hands!"

Ling Yang smiled slightly, "Don't worry Sean, watch me kick his ass!

"

When he said this, Ling Yang glanced at his system. In the column of the badge, after being dressed as a "S-level back defense master", he has not had much experience in defending Nowitzki. It should be just right. !
