The intermission is over and the second quarter begins.
Both sides sent some substitute players to transition the rotation stage.
Mavericks lineup: Delk, Finley, Jamison, Li Xuan, Uncle Mu.
Lakers lineup: Fisher, Kobe, Rush, Medvedenko, O'Neal.
In the Western Conference finals, the team generally adopts a rotation of seven or eight players, and it is even possible for some main players to play the entire game.
The Lakers had the ball, "Old Fish" dribbled the ball across half court, handed it to the cauliflower snake, and consciously ran to the bottom corner to ambush.
In the high area on the right, Kobe received a pass and singled Finley face-to-face.
"Hey, Michael, guess where I'm going to break through."
After the cauliflower snake finished speaking, it started immediately, caught Finley by surprise, and broke through Finley's defense very smoothly.
When Finley came to his senses, he immediately turned around and chased after him, cursing inwardly.
"Fuck! I'm actually being clouded by trash talk."
At this time, Kobe broke through to the middle distance and immediately stopped for a jumper.
It was too late for Uncle Mu, who was standing on the right side of the penalty area, to make up defense.
"Shh!"
The basketball is hollow into the net and hits steadily!
25: 22!
The ball is switched and the Mavericks attack.
Delk dribbled the ball beyond the three-point line, and Li Xuan immediately stepped forward to set a screen.
With the help of a screen, Delk got rid of Fisher's defense and broke into the three-point line.
Medvedenko immediately switched defenses, delaying Delk's breakthrough.
Delk is well aware of his role positioning, he can do as much as he can, and don't do porcelain work without diamonds.
So, he passed the ball back without hesitation.
After Li Xuan finished the pick-and-roll, he squeezed Fisher away and made an air cut to the basket.
Although "Old Fish" was physically strong, he still couldn't stop Li Xuan from moving forward.
"Fuck! What did this kid grow up on? He doesn't look like a muscular macho. How could he be so strong!"
After Fisher was shocked, he quickly turned and chased.
Li Xuan, who was on the move, received the pass, immediately pulled it up, triggered the effect of [Catcher and Shooter], and threw the ball.
Seeing this situation, Fathead Shark, who retreated to the basket, complained depressingly.
"Smelly brat, you can't run to the basket and let Uncle Ben take a hat."
Swish!Hollow into the net!
27: 22!
"Good shot! Li responded to Kobe in the same way. I really want to see the two compete with each other. It is worth looking forward to."
Barkley doesn't think it's a big deal, he likes to create topics and watch the excitement.
On the court, Fisher dribbled forward without rushing and came to the top of the arc. Seeing that the fat head shark was actively blocking the ball in the low post, he immediately passed the ball.
Only by taking good care of this fat man can he have a place in the Lakers.
"Old Fish" is very good at judging the situation and knowing who is the team's thigh.
Fathead Shark received the pass, turned his back to Uncle Mu behind him, and when he was about to turn around, he found that stinky brat ran over at some point and blocked his turning route.
"Fuck! This stinking brat ruined my good deed again!"
Fathead Shark was extremely depressed, and planned to let Li Xuan know how powerful he was.
Immediately, O'Neill pushed Li Xuan sideways with all his strength, and continued to turn towards the penalty area, but he did not expect that Li Xuan, who had just been knocked away, would stick up to defend him again.
"Fuck! It's endless, this brat is really hard to deal with!"
O'Neill tried a few times but couldn't turn around smoothly, feeling very irritable.
At the same time, the cauliflower snake cut to the basket and yelled at the fat head shark.
"Shaq, throw the ball to the hoop!"
After O'Neal heard it, he was a little embarrassed, but in order to win and enter the finals, he very reluctantly threw the ball to the basket.
Li Xuan immediately jumped up and straightened his arms to intercept, but failed to touch the basketball.
It has to be said that this fat man is good at passing the ball.
Under the basket, Kobe soared into the air, grabbed the basketball in the air with both hands, and dunked it into the basket.
Finley, who was chasing defense, also jumped up, stretched his arms to interfere, and failed to cover the basketball.
"Good shot! The OK combination has reproduced the tacit cooperation in the past. This is the strongest Lakers!" Kenny Smith commented.
The ball is switched and the Mavericks attack.
Li Xuan quickly moved without the ball, directly took advantage of his speed, got rid of Medvedenko's defense, and ran towards the right three-point line.
The Lakers immediately switched defenses, and Rush quickly made up the defense.
Li Xuan ran beyond the three-point line, received a pass from Delk, and faked a shot.
Rush, who came to defend, didn't take off and pounce, but beat his arm straight to interfere.
"Xiao Mian, if you don't use fake moves, I can still shake you off."
Li Xuan made a move, stepped sideways to the left, triggered the [Attack Kaleidoscope] effect, pulled it up and threw the ball out.
The running Rush immediately changed direction, but his center of gravity was unstable and he fell to the ground.
"Oh! It's unbelievable, Lee actually knocked Rush down, God! It's crazy!" Barkley stood up excitedly and shouted loudly.
The basketball draws a perfect arc in the air.
Swish!Hollow into the net!
"Good shot! Lee's rhythm is perfect. He knocked someone down for the first time in his career. It should be very memorable. It seems that Rush will be popular in the sports world tomorrow." Kenny Smith commented in a teasing tone .
This is equivalent to Iverson knocking down Director Lu.
Lu was a pure role player in the era of guiding players. If Iverson hadn't been knocked down and stepped over, the fans would never remember that Lu was the leader.
After all, there are too many role players in the NBA who can't get ahead.
There was no sound in the auditorium, and deafening cheers and shouts erupted in an instant, and the fans stood up one after another to applaud the ball.
On the Mavericks bench, Nash, Nowitzki and others danced wildly with towels to celebrate.
Old Nelson was relatively calm and clapped his hands with a smile on his face.
He has seen this kind of sidelines a lot, and he didn't think it was a fuss.
In the VIP seat, Mavericks owner Mark Cuban danced excitedly.
On the field, Li Xuan glanced at Rush who fell in front of him, said nothing, and immediately turned back to defend.
Others are in such a miserable situation, and he will lose his basketball dream if he still hits them!
The other players of the Mavericks didn't think so. Jamison immediately stepped forward and gave Li Xuan a chest bump to celebrate.
"Li, this ball is so awesome! It almost made me wet."
Translated from Jamieson's words, this is almost the meaning.
"Antoine, low-key, low-key, it's all routine." Li Xuan reached out and responded calmly.
Seeing Li Xuan pretending to be so brazen, Jamison immediately turned and left.
He doesn't want to communicate with King Li Bi, it's too bad.
At the same time, Kobe stepped forward to pull up Rush who was lying on the ground, and patted his shoulder to comfort him.
"Don't take it to heart, you have defended very well."
Rush nodded, not feeling ashamed.
It is difficult for a role player like him to stand out, and sometimes he may explode when he is on the background board.
The ball is switched and the Lakers attack.
Kobe broke through with the ball, attracted Li Xuan to help defend, and passed the ball inside.
Fathead Shark received the pass, pushed Uncle Mu away, plucked the onion from the dry land, and dunked the ball into the basket with both hands.
"A good shot! The OK team fights against Killing God Li. This kind of game is worth watching." Barkley commented.
In the next round, with the help of Jamison's cover, Li Xuan ran to the mid-range area on the right, received a pass from Delk, and made a fallback jumper against Kobe's help defense.
"Boss, how is my recoil? Is it difficult to block?"
Li Xuan teased him for a while, and immediately turned back to defend, not wanting to see the cauliflower snake baring its fangs at him.
Kobe looked at Li Xuan's back and clenched his fists.
"This kid is a bit embarrassing and needs to be cleaned up!"
Although he said so, the cauliflower snake was extremely envious in his heart.
"If I have such a physical talent, Jordan is nothing!"
Cauliflower Snake looked down at his palm, sighed, and then ran towards the frontcourt.
In this round, Kobe played a pick-and-roll with Medvedenko specifically, and played against Li Xuan.
"Boy, next I will let you feel what powerlessness is."
After the cauliflower snake finished speaking harshly, it turned around and leaned against Li Xuan, then shook its shoulders left and right, shaking Li Xuan's defensive center of gravity.
Li Xuan stuck to Kobe and didn't move with him, waiting for the next move of the cauliflower snake before making any plans.
Seeing that Li Xuan didn't hesitate, Kobe immediately turned around and broke through, but was intercepted by Li Xuan.
"This kid is really tough!"
After the cauliflower snake's breakthrough was blocked, it took a few steps back, quickly made a forward change, and then stepped sideways and stepped back to make a jump shot.
Fortunately, Li Xuan has [Death Coil] passive effect bonus, the chance of being shaken is greatly reduced, otherwise it is very likely to follow in the footsteps of Lu's guidance.
After adjusting the center of gravity, Li Xuan immediately rushed to interfere.
Kobe is familiar with Li Xuan's height and wingspan, so he deliberately increased the arc of the back.
"The confrontation between Kobe and Lee was very exciting. Kobe showed us his dazzling breakthrough skills, while Lee showed us his strong defensive ability. We will wait and see who will have the last laugh this time!"
In the on-site commentary booth, Kenny Smith commented very fast.
After the basketball flying in the air hit the board, it bounced into the net frame.
"Friends in the audience, the result has been announced, Kobe won the first round of confrontation!"
On the field, after the cauliflower snake landed, it looked at Li Xuan in front of him and farted.
"Boy, you almost stopped me, come on next time!"
Li Xuan didn't feel angry after hearing this, and responded with a smile: "Thank you boss for your encouragement, I will definitely surprise you next time."
Kobe looked at Li Xuan who was running past, and muttered in a low voice.
"This kid is really optimistic. It seems that trash talking can't affect his mentality."
In the next round, everyone thought that Li Xuan would single-handedly beat Kobe, but the result was unexpected.
After Li Xuan held the ball to attract the defense, he hit the ground and assisted Jamison for a layup.
"Beautiful! Li led the team forward in his own way, and did not blindly play cancerous singles. This is what a team leader should do." Barkley flattered Li Xuan unabashedly.
In the next few rounds, both sides scored points.
The Lakers rely on the OK combination to score points.
The Mavericks, led by Li Xuan, played a tacit teamwork to maintain the situation on the field.
After playing for about 5 minutes in the second quarter, the head coaches of both sides began to make substitution adjustments, replacing the main players in the game.
After the substitutions and adjustments, Li Xuan can take a break, instead of investing a lot of energy on the offensive end, and let the "driver" be the attacker.
Nowitzki lived up to expectations, pulling to the mid-range area, as long as he didn't double-team, he could basically score no matter whose defense he was facing.
The Lakers were also not to be outdone. In order to maintain sufficient physical strength, the Cauliflower Snakes picked soft persimmons and frequently misplaced singles against Nash, which was extremely efficient.
Li Xuan and the others will not just watch Lao Na being bullied and give the cauliflower snake a double-team set meal.
Although Kobe could shoot no matter how many people defended him, in order to win the game, he resolutely passed the ball inside.
Fathead Shark's Coke is broken, without Li Xuan's interference, it's enough to beat Nowitzki, a softie, with his hands.
As a result, O'Neal began to dominate the Mavericks basket.
Seeing this situation, Old Nelson immediately put Nesterovic on the field and used him to defend against the fathead shark.
Although it can't limit O'Neill, it can be considered a success if it can consume his physical strength.
And occasionally adopt the "shark hacking tactic" to disrupt the attacking rhythm of the fat head shark, not to mention, the effect is very good.
In this way, the first half of the game ended, the score on the big screen was 57 to 50, and the Mavericks entered the second half with a 7-point lead.
Not long after, the 15-minute intermission ended and the second half began.
At the beginning of the third quarter, Kobe turned on the scoring mode and scored 5 points with sudden shots, narrowing the point difference to only 2 points.
The Mavericks immediately adjusted and let Li Xuan serve as the main attack point.
In the low area on the right, Li Xuan tried to play Malone with his back.
"Oh! The contest between Lee and Carl. If it was Karl in his prime, I think Lee would have been lying on the floor." Kenny Smith joked.
"Kenny, I don't agree with your point of view. Li is not a good boy. His combat power is immeasurable, and he needs to be able to defeat the top Malone." Barkley expressed his opinion.
Just as the two were arguing fiercely, the duel on the field had already come to a conclusion.
Li Xuan leaned his back against Ma Long, and suddenly turned over and shot a jumper after shaking his shoulders.
At this time, Ma Long hadn't reacted yet, he thought that Li Xuan would push back a few more times before shooting.
"Go away! This little guy is a quick shooter!"
There is no interference, plus the effects of [Offensive Kaleidoscope] and [Co-style Fallback Jumper], the hit rate is very high.
Swish!Hollow into the net!
"Beautiful! Li's series of actions are very entertaining, and it's cool!" Barkley commented excitedly.
The ball is switched and the Lakers attack.
Kobe wanted to respond in the same way, but was severely interfered by Lagabel and hit an iron.
Fathead Shark got stuck and wanted to receive an offensive rebound, but Li Xuan, who rushed into the basket, picked the ball off his head.
"Fuck! This stinking brat ruined my good deed again."
After Li Xuan landed, he shook the Fathead Shark who was about to cut the ball, and then passed the ball.
"Shaq, don't be so obvious when you cut the ball next time. It's too unfulfilling to dodge it easily."
Li Xuan spread his hands, showing an innocent expression, and quickly ran to the frontcourt to participate in the attack.
Fathead Shark looked at Li Xuan's leaving back, feeling so angry in his heart!
"Stinky brat! Don't let my uncle catch the opportunity, and he will repay you twice!"
Meanwhile, in the other half, the Mavericks got a chance to overplay.
Nash took advantage of the rhythm change, changed direction and passed Payton, broke into the penalty area and encountered Kobe's defense, and immediately turned his head to Mochizuki and passed the ball.
He knows very well that his teammates must follow behind him.
He and his teammates have practiced this kind of transition attack countless times.
Li Xuan, who followed up, received the pass, crossed it once, rose into the air, and made the movement of attacking the frame.
Seeing that Kobe rushed to interfere, he quickly made a small pull, successfully avoided the block of the cauliflower snake, and threw the ball out.
At the same time, Kobe in the air extended his arm to shoot the basketball, but hit Li Xuan's arm.
"Beep! The No. 8 thug of the Lakers fouled, the goal is valid, and an additional penalty is given."
The referee blew his whistle and gestured to the technical table.
"And-One! In this duel, Li won a complete victory and won a round!" Barkley roared loudly.
