NBA: Starting with James Harden

In the second half of the game, the Mavericks adjusted their starting lineup: Li Zhen, Terry, Nowitzki, Haywood, and Dampier.

The Mavericks sent out a three-tall lineup, which was Carlisle's way of dealing with the Lakers' twin towers.

If the quality is not good, the quantity will make up for it. Aren't you two towers attacking the inside? I will fill the inside with people and see how you attack, and then Li Zhen and Terry, two small guys, can fight back.

Carlisle's strategy basically gave up the front line offense and defense.

The Zen Master emphasized the front line offense. The

Lakers sent out Kobe, Artest, Odom, Bynum, and Gasol.

They were all very tall in each position, which made Terry look like a child. He was the shortest among the ten players on the court.

The third quarter was the Lakers' opening shot.

Kobe received the ball and slowly carried it to the front court.

The 15-point lead made Kobe relax instinctively.

Kobe passed the ball to Gasol who was standing at the free throw line.

Haywood defended Gasol, and Gasol passed the ball to Odom who cut inside.

Nowitzki defended Odom, not letting him get a chance to score inside, and Odom passed the ball to Artest. The one defending Artest was Terry, who knew he had a great advantage in this position.

Back-to-back push!!

Terry gritted his teeth and pushed hard, but he couldn't stop himself from retreating, the weight difference was too big.

When Artest pushed the ball to the three-second zone, he turned over and hit the board!!

Although Artest's offensive skills have deteriorated a lot, his basic techniques are very solid.

"knock"

""Swish!"

63 to 46.

17 points.

The momentum in the Airline Arena cooled down again.

After Artest and Kobe high-fived, they roared at Li Zhen:"Rookie, you are doomed to lose!!"

Li Zhen ignored Artest's provocation, but took the ball from Haywood with a cold face.

After receiving the ball, Li Zhen did not wait for his teammates to pass, but dribbled directly. After passing half court, he met Kobe.

Kobe was defending statically, while Li Zhen was moving at high speed and had already accelerated.

This kind of attacking side has too much advantage. Li Zhen changed the rhythm of dribbling and passed Kobe in one step on the right.

Artest and Odom came over at the same time for lateral defense.

Li Zhen then hit the ground with his crotch to the left, paused for a rhythm, and suddenly rushed from Artest's left. Odom's double team was not in place and was passed by him.

Gasol and Bynum did not expect Li Zhen to pass so quickly. The two also wanted to double team, but Li Zhen's speed was completely increased. He rushed straight through the two people!!

"Bang!"He knocked Gasol away with force!!

He completely broke through the defense, and Li Zhen completed a layup at high speed!!

The basketball hit the backboard and went into the basket!! The score was 63 to 48.

The constant acceleration made Li Zhen lose his balance. After Li Zhen finished this flying layup, he flew sideways and slid to the cheerleaders before stopping!

"Holy shit, one against five!!"

"Li Zhen gritted his teeth and was ready to attack the Lakers' defense"

"So fast!"

"Almost all in one step!!"

"One against five, who else is there!!!

The fans watching the game were amazed by Li Zhen's combination of skills, speed, and body control.

This ball took a long time to sprint from the baseline to the layup.

"Good shot!"Carlisle was not angry because Li Zhen played one against five.

This was what he wanted to see.

Li Zhen fully unleashed his offensive ability!

"Good job"

"Well done!"

When Haywood and Dampier just arrived at the frontcourt, Li Zhen had completed the attack, so they came directly to pull Li Zhen.

""Hurry up and get back to defense!!" Without waiting for his teammates to pull him back, Li Zhen got up and yelled at his teammates.

After yelling, Li Zhen quickly went to pressure Kobe.

Dampier and Haywood both felt a kind of pressure.

Li Zhen gave them mental pressure!

It was the first time they saw this rookie so eager to win.

Haywood and Dampier did not dare to neglect and immediately dragged their bodies back to defense!

Li Zhen's defense was very effective.

Kobe made a dribbling error and was forced to the sideline by Li Zhen when he turned around. Then, in order to avoid Li Zhen's steal, he accidentally stepped on the sideline.

"Beautiful defense"

"Li Zhen forced Kobe into a mistake!"

The fans at the scene kept shouting to cheer for the Mavericks.

Li Zhen himself was also shouting.

The Mavericks' frontcourt serve!!

"Give it to me!" Li Zhen shouted at Haywood.

At this time, Li Zhen just wanted to do it himself!

Li Zhen received the serve two meters outside the three-point line!

Kobe stepped on the three-point line to defend Li Zhen, and Gasol and Odom were not far behind Kobe. As long as Li Zhen broke through Kobe, he would fall into the double-team.

Bynum was guarding Nowitzki on the other side.

The Lakers dared not let Nowitzki go anyway.

Li Zhen did not dribble too much. He dribbled the ball, adjusted a step back, and then jumped up and shot!!

This jump shot was super long!!

Kobe's reaction was still a beat slower.

It's not that Kobe's defense is not good, but normal players will not shoot at that position!!

Li Zhen shot too decisively.

Kobe didn't dare to pounce too hard, and Li Zhen was too good at making fouls.

Although the shooting distance was far, Li Zhen still kept his shooting hand shape unchanged.

Tonight, the basket is destined to be as wide as the sea for Li Zhen!!

The basketball went into the basket as accurately as if it was equipped with an eight-fold mirror.

""Shua!!!"

The basketball went through the net with a crisp sound!!

Another long-range three-pointer was accurately blocked!!

63 to 51

""li, li, li, li, Zhen!!!!" DJ's shouting led to the screaming of fans.

All fans could see that Li Zhen was going to take over the game.

Li Zhen was not going to pass the ball, he was going to do it alone, and this kind of Li Zhen was extremely terrifying.

When trailing by 15 points, or at most 17 points, Li Zhen exerted his strength!!

In the regular season, everyone has seen Li Zhen's crazy moments!

That kind of ultimate heroism!

This is the scoring explosiveness that Nowitzki in the interior can't bring!!

Nowitzki's failure to receive the ball meant that Carlisle absolutely trusted Li Zhen.

At this critical moment, it was time to watch Li Zhen's show.

Kobe raised his hand to signal his teammates to slow down, and he waved to take over the responsibility for the mistakes and defensive errors just now.

Kobe's face became more and more grim, and he didn't dare to be careless.

Li Zhen still It was a pressure defense in the frontcourt.

Li Zhen's pressure defense led the Mavericks to put pressure on the Lakers.

Terry also desperately competed with Artest.

The Lakers' passing became difficult.

Passing the ball, Kobe still calmly gave the ball to Artest, asking him to play against Terry's mismatch.

It became difficult for Artest to hit Terry, and Terry used all his strength.

Artest still managed to push Terry one step before turning around and making a jump shot!!

Although this ball got rid of Terry, because too much energy was spent in the confrontation, the basketball hit the front frame. Nowitzki jumped up and received the rebound.

The defense was successful.

Terry wiped the sweat from his forehead!!

Li Zhen also went over and patted Terry on the back of his head.

It was really not easy for him to defend Artest..............
