Chapter 245 Winning the Battle of Tianwang Mountain
After Li Xuan landed, he winked at the cauliflower snake in front of him.
"Boss Ke, I've won this time!"
After speaking, Li Xuan turned around and walked to the free throw line with a happy mood.
The cauliflower snake looked at Li Xuanyuan's back, and shook hands.
"This kid really needs cleaning up!"
Amidst the cheers of the fans, Li Xuan stood on the free throw line, took the free throw from the referee, and hit the free throw steadily.
"Shaq, free throws are so simple, you just need to have hands!"
After Li Xuan made the free throw, he spread his hands and deliberately stimulated the fat-headed shark to mess with his mentality.
O'Neal looked at Li Xuan's leaving back, and gritted his teeth angrily.
Before the cauliflower snake was deflated, he even gloated at the joke.
Now it's his turn, so angry in my heart!
"Smelly brat! Don't let my uncle find a chance for revenge!"
The ball is switched and the Lakers attack.
After being scored by Li Xuan one after another, the point difference was widened again. The Lakers must ensure the success rate of this attack and maintain the situation.
Payton dribbled the ball to the top of the arc, directed his teammates to move, and was ready to deal the cards.
Malone quickly ran forward and made an off-ball screen for the cauliflower snake.
Although "Postman" is getting old and his physical function has declined, his pick-and-roll skills have not degraded.
Therefore, Ma Long made a high-quality pick and roll, blocking both Li Xuan and Nash.
With the help of cover, Payton broke into the penalty area, facing Nowitzki's interference, and hit a small throw.
"Hey! At the critical moment, I still have to rely on me, a veteran, it's too difficult to hug my thigh."
After Peyton finished Versailles, he immediately turned and returned to defense.
The Mavericks attacked, this time Li Xuan didn't play singles, but ran outside the three-point line to pick and roll for Nash.
Seeing this situation, Payton immediately went around the cover and chased him.
After Nash passed by Li Xuan, seeing that there were no defenders in front of and behind him, he jumped up and shot a three-pointer.
Seeing this, Ma Long wanted to run over and reach out to interfere.
But Li Xuan stuck him firmly, and could only dispel the thought in his heart.
Swish!Hollow into the net!
"Good shot! Steve has a three-point shot, but he is covered by the light of Lee and Dirk, and he rarely shows his scoring ability." Kenny Smith commented.
The Lakers attacked, and Payton wanted to repeat the same tricks and cooperate with Malone in the pick-and-roll, but was defended by the Mavericks.
Watching Nash reappear in front of him, Payton hit the ball into the penalty area.
Fathead Shark received the pass, pushed Nowitzki away, turned around and threw the ball to the basket.
The basketball bounced off the rim and fell into the net.
The Mavericks immediately sent the ball to the baseline. After Nash received the ball, he quickly advanced towards the frontcourt.
Seeing Payton stepping forward to intercept, Lao Na immediately passed the ball to Li Xuan who followed up on the right.
Li Xuan received the pass, made a simple change of direction in front of him, passed Malone, and dribbled towards the three-point line.
"Lee's ability to control the ball has improved a lot. He didn't move it to his feet like before. It seems that he spent a lot of time on it." Barkley praised.
On the field, Li Xuan came to the outside of the three-point line, stopped immediately, and shot a three-pointer.
The cauliflower snake who came to defend against it jumped on it and interfered with it by straightening its arms.
Bang bang!Fight with anger!
Nowitzki, who rushed inside, grabbed the offensive rebound and scored a half-stop.
At this time, the Fathead Shark just ran to the three-point line, and it was too late to return to the penalty area to protect the backcourt rebound.
"Fuck! Why are you fighting so fast! You want to exhaust me to death!"
O'Neal complained, turned and ran to the front field, away from the right and wrong.
He didn't want to admit that it was his fault.
The Lakers attacked, Kobe ran without the ball, received a pass from Payton, and made a mid-range fadeaway jumper against Lagabel's defense.
Bang bang!Fight with anger!
Under the basket, O'Neal suddenly turned around, came to Nowitzki, jumped up and grabbed the rebound.
After landing, the Fathead Shark drove the "driver" into the ground and dunked the ball in with both hands.
"At the critical moment, I still have to rely on my uncle. That stinky poisonous snake is not reliable at all."
O'Neill turned back to the defense with a happy mood, not wanting to take the blame again.
The Mavericks attacked, Nowitzki pulled to the high position on the right, looked at George in front of him, and reached out for the ball.
After receiving a pass from Nash, the "Silver Horn King" made a three-threat move and took a tentative step. Seeing George's defense, he immediately launched a breakthrough towards the penalty area.
When Nowitzki broke through to the middle distance area on the right, he made a sudden stop and made a fallback jumper.
George, who was retreating, stopped immediately. Seeing that Nowitzki's shot was very high and his legs were up, he couldn't get close at all, let alone interfere with the shot.
"Fuck! Such a shooting posture is simply cheating!"
Swish!Hollow into the net!
On the sidelines, the head coach of the Lakers, Phil Jackson, was expressionless. He had no tricks to limit the Mavericks' offense, and all hopes were pinned on the OK combination.
Back on the court, the Lakers attacked, this time the Fathead Shark attacked the inside.
Nowitzki failed to withstand and chose to foul.
His foul count was safe and there was no crisis.
O'Neal stood on the free throw line, and amidst the boos of the audience, he hit the first free throw and made the second free throw, scoring 1 point.
"It's a good thing we didn't lose all of them, otherwise we would be ridiculed by that brat again."
Fathead Shark feels that free throws are like torture, and he is somewhat resistant to free throws.
Especially Li Xuan's yin and yang sarcasm made Fathead Shark feel unloved.
The ball is switched and the Mavericks attack.
Nowitzki faced George's defense again, turned over and hit a jumper.
"The Lakers can't go on like this. They have to find a way to limit Nowitzki. He played too easily." Kenny Smith analyzed.
Looking back, Kobe hit Finley in a misplaced singles, hit a fadeaway jumper, and recovered 2 points.
In the next round, Nowitzki singled George again, and the Lakers double-teamed without hesitation.
Facing double-teaming, Nowitzki was very willing to see such a situation and immediately passed the ball out.
After many passes, Finley got a chance and hit a mid-range jumper.
In the next few rounds, the two sides played inextricably.
The Mavericks relied on Nowitzki and Li Xuan to contain them, and Nash, Finley and others scored one after another.
The Lakers relied on Kobe's personal ability and O'Neal's strong inside play to catch up with the score.
When the third quarter was played for about 8 minutes, the Mavericks replaced Li Xuan and Nash, and let Nowitzki stay on the court as a pinnacle.
The Lakers did not make personnel adjustments and are still the main lineup.
After all, they are still behind and dare not easily rotate.
After Li Xuan went down, the Mavericks' defensive strength declined, and they couldn't prevent the Lakers from attacking, so they had to adopt the shark-slashing tactic to transition this period of time.
Therefore, the next few minutes of the game were rather boring.
Either the Fathead Shark made a free throw from the free throw line, or Nowitzki played a single with his back, anyway, it was a one-man show between the two of them.
Cauliflower Snake saw such shameless tactics of the Mavericks, and really wanted to rush to the sidelines and beat Old Nelson.
In these two 3 minutes, he was purely soy sauce, and he couldn't use his strength!
What's more, that fat man didn't know what was going on, and his free throws were even worse than before, giving away the ball for nothing.
In this way, the third quarter ended, and the score on the big screen was 81 to 73. The Mavericks led by 8 points and entered the fourth quarter.
Not long after, the intermission ended and the fourth quarter began.
The Cauliflower Snake and Fathead Shark, who played the entire third quarter, did not rest and continued to play.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Li Xuan hit Medvedenko with a low back, turned over and hit a jumper.
Against such a clumsy fourth position, Li Xuan played very well.
The Lakers launched the offense by the cauliflower snake. After a series of fancy breakthrough skills, they faced Lagabel's defensive fallback jumper.
The basketball rebounds into the basket.
Before the Lakers players could breathe a sigh of relief, the Mavericks' offense quickly struck.
This time, Nowitzki played singles, faced the defense of George and Kobe, and made a step-back jumper.
"The Mavericks scored too many points, and the Lakers couldn't control it at all. This game is suspended." Barkley expressed his opinion.
In the next round, O'Neal played hard inside and failed to score against Nowitzki's defense.
Li Xuan retreated to the basket to receive the rebound and passed it to Nash to advance.
The Mavericks launched a defensive counterattack, and the Lakers players focused on Li Xuan, Nowitzki and others, completely ignoring Lagabel.
Nash immediately passed the ball to the bottom corner and assisted Lagabel to hit a three-pointer.
Immediately afterwards, the cauliflower snake who refused to admit defeat resisted Lagabel's defense and returned a three-pointer.
"This ball is quite critical, and it temporarily slowed down the Lakers."
As soon as Kenny Smith's words fell, the audience burst into thunderous applause.
He watched the replay on the big screen and realized that Li Xuan used the cover to run towards the outside line, received the pass, and against Kobe's defense, he forced a three-pointer.
"It seems that the Mavericks want to close this game early!" Kenny Smith smiled awkwardly.
In the next few rounds, Kobe relied on his personal ability to chase and defend, and O'Neal occasionally scored a goal or two.
The two of them performed so well, and the point gap has never narrowed.
Just because the Lakers can't limit the Mavericks to score.
Li Xuan and Nowitzki are incompetent one-on-one. They can assist their teammates to score after double-teaming, which is impossible to defend.
When the game hits the last 6 minutes.
Nash broke through to score the ball, and Finley, who was running without the ball, received the pass and immediately took off for a mid-range jumper.
Bang bang!Fight with anger!
Under the basket, the panting Fathead Shark is ready to grab the rebound.
The "driver" definitely didn't want the Fathead Shark to grab the rebound easily and push forward with all his strength to prevent O'Neal from taking off.
"Fuck! When my uncle is physically strong, he can beat two soft guys like you."
Fathead Shark complained that it was very difficult to jump up and fight.
Li Xuan, who was still physically strong, rushed into the penalty area, jumped with one foot, took the rebound from the fat head shark, jumped again and dunked the ball into the basket.
The exhausted Fathead Shark wanted to block the ball, but he was powerless, his feet were like lead, and he couldn't jump up at all.
"From this scene, it can be seen that the Lakers are at the end of their battle, and the game is basically decided." Kenny Smith said with a sigh.
He didn't expect the Mavericks to torture O'Neal so badly.
On the court, the Lakers were attacking, but the Cauliflower Snake still did not give up the game, and planned to save the team in his own way.
He changed direction and broke through outside the three-point line. After pulling the ball back, he retreated back to outside the three-point line, and immediately took off to shoot.
Lagabel immediately rushed forward to interfere, adopting a defensive method of covering his eyes.
With a bang, strike with anger!
Nowitzki grabbed the rebound and swung it vigorously towards the frontcourt.
Li Xuan, who had already made a fast break, received the pass, stopped outside the three-point line, pulled up and shot.
"Shh!"
The basketball is hollow into the net and hits steadily!
After that, Payton used the pick-and-roll to get rid of Nash's defense and break through to the basket.
Li Xuan, who switched defenses, activated the active effect of the skill [Death Coil], judged Payton's breakthrough route, cut off the basketball, and assisted Nash to make a layup.
"This game is over. After the Mavericks scored this goal, they have already led by 16 points. There are about 4 minutes left before the end of the game. It is not easy for the Lakers to catch up." Barkley analyzed.
In the next two to three minutes, the Lakers wanted to bet on a three-pointer, but the effect was not very satisfactory. Only Kobe and the replaced Fisher hit one, and the rest ended in iron.
The Mavericks seized the opportunity and played defensive counterattacks, basically playing more and playing less.
The fat head shark couldn't run anymore, and couldn't come back at all.
In this way, the Mavericks maintained the lead until the last moment.
With the sound of piercing beeps, the battle of Tianwang Mountain came to an end.
In the end, the Mavericks beat the Lakers 105-90 and got the match point.

At the post-match press conference, media reporters scrambled to ask Li Xuan questions.
"Li, congratulations for winning the battle of Tianwang Mountain. How do you feel after winning this game?"
"The taste of victory is indeed wonderful, but this round of the series is not over yet, I will seriously prepare for the next game." Li Xuan replied.
"Can you finish the series at Staples?"
When Li Xuan heard this difficult question, he didn't rush to answer it, and thought about it for a while.
These reporters want to make trouble every time!
"I don't know how the next game will turn out, but I will do my best to help the team win."
After hearing this, the media reporters didn't get the answer they wanted, and felt somewhat depressed, so they continued to ask Li Xuan.
On the other hand, Kobe followed Phil Jackson to the post-game press conference.
"Kobe, you and Shaq both played well in this game, why did you lose?"
"We are comparable to the strength of the Mavericks. They seized the opportunity at the critical moment and changed the result of the game." Bryant said the reason for the loss.
"Kobe, can you defend the home court in the next game?"
"The Lakers' home court is not so easy to attack. There is no doubt that we will reach the tiebreaker." Kobe replied confidently.
After interviewing Kobe, media reporters asked Phil Jackson questions.
"Mr. Jackson, Li performed very well in this game. What do you think?"
"I have to admit that Lee played very well in this game. Our tactics have no effect on him. We will make corresponding adjustments in the next game and we will not let him score easily." Phil Jackson replied.
"Mr. Jackson, after losing the Tianwangshan battle, will it affect the team?"
"It won't have any impact on us. This loss will only encourage us to come back from a desperate situation. I believe that the next game will not be the last game in this round of the series." Phil Jackson replied.
Not long after, the post-match press conference ended, and Li Xuan followed Nelson back to the locker room.
The battle of Tianwangshan came to an end, and some families were happy and some were sad.
The Mavericks won the match point and took the absolute initiative, striving to win the away game and advance to the finals.
The Lakers can no longer afford to lose, and return to the home court to fight their backs and resolutely defend their home honor.
So will the next game be the last game in the Western Conference Finals? !
