Chapter 238 Scoring is too easy, please put some pressure
On May 5, at the American Airlines Center Arena.
Before the game started, enthusiastic Dallas fans blocked the inside and outside of the arena.
The Dallas Police Department had to send security personnel to the scene to maintain order.
At this time, there were no seats in the arena, and the fans waited patiently for the start of the game.
It didn't take long before the players of the two teams came to the field one after another amidst the roar of the DJ and the cheers of the fans.
After a brief admission ceremony, players from both sides came to their respective halfs for warm-up activities.
While the players are warming up.
In the live commentary booth, Barkley and Kenny Smith are warming up for the game in advance.
"The Western Conference Finals has finally begun. Do you know how I live without the Mavericks game? It's like a year!" Barkley joked.
"The Mavericks have indeed rested long enough. I don't know how their state is. The Lakers played the tiebreaker. Although their physical strength will be affected, their state will definitely be better than the Mavericks. This game is quite interesting."
After Kenny Smith finished his analysis, he continued to ask: "Charles, who do you think will win tonight?"
Barkley looked at his partner aside with scrutiny.
This guy has bad intentions and wants to trick me.
Is the great Baron such a good trick? !
After pondering, Barkley expressed his views.
"I think the Mavericks can win by solving O'Neal and Kobe, and the Lakers can win by solving Lee and Nowitzki."
After hearing this, Kenny Smith was a little speechless, as if he hadn't said anything.
There is no more difficulty for Barkley, and the subject is quickly changed.
"The warm-up is over and the game is about to start, we will wait and see!"
After Kenny Smith finished speaking, he turned his eyes to the playing field.
At the same time, on the big screen at the scene, the list of starting players of both sides was displayed.
Mavericks starting lineup: Nash, Lagabel, Li Xuan, Nowitzki, Mutombo.
The old Nelson adjusted the lineup and put Li Xuan in the third position, so that he can give full play to his mobility.
Can help Lagabel pinch Kobe from the outside, and can also retreat to the basket to help defend O'Neal.
It can be said that Li Xuan is the key factor in this round of the system competition, directly affecting the outcome of the competition.
Lakers starting lineup: Gary Payton, Kobe Bryant, Devin George, Karl Malone, Shaquille O'Neal.
Not long after, the referee blew his whistle to signal the starting players of both sides to come to the center of the court.
Li Xuan and others left the bench, walked towards the court, stood in their respective positions, and waited for the jump ball.
The referee looked at the timer, blew his whistle, and threw the basketball into the air.
Amidst the cheers and shouts of the fans, the first game of the Western Conference Finals officially started.
In the jump ball session, Uncle Mu took off vigorously and took the racket to the Lakers to defend the half court.
At the moment of jumping the ball, Li Xuan broke out and rushed towards the basket at the fastest speed.
He bet that the fathead shark wouldn't jump for the ball, and he obviously won.
Li Xuan received the basketball, rushed into the penalty area first, soared into the air, and dunked the ball into the basket with one hand.
2: 0!
There was thunderous applause in the auditorium, and cheers and shouts resounded through the arena.
"Beautiful! The Mavericks launched a surprise attack, and Lee scored the first point of the game." Barkley explained excitedly.
At this time, the Lakers players realized what happened.
"Let's cheer up, don't take it lightly, the opponent is not weaker than us."
After Kobe reminded his teammates, he ran towards the frontcourt.
Payton received the serve from the bottom line, dribbled forward without rushing, and came outside the three-point line to organize the offense.
O'Neal carried Uncle Mu and moved towards the penalty area, ready to reach out for the ball.
"Small sample, when you were at your peak, this shark beat you with one hand, but now it's not easy."
Li Xuan in the mid-range area on the right moved quickly towards the penalty area, preparing to double-team.
Nowitzki, near the low position on the left, also shrunk towards the basket, forming a three-sided paper circle around the Fathead Shark.
Seeing this situation, Payton, who was in possession of the ball at the top of the arc, did not pass the ball rashly, and chose to end the offense by himself.
Although there is not much fuel in Payton's fuel tank, it is still easy to deal with defensive black holes like Nash.
Immediately, he used his special skills to back up and force him, and retreated repeatedly against Nash.
Lao Na tried his best to defend, but it didn't help.
"Fuck! If I had Li's physical fitness, who the hell would dare to bully me!"
Payton pushed Nash to the left side of the free throw line and dared not move on. The Mavericks are not vegetarians inside.
After he squeezed Nash hard, he turned over and made a small jumper.
"Shh!"
The basketball is hollow into the net and hits steadily!
2: 2!
When Li Xuan ran to the frontcourt, he passed by Nash and gave his advice.
"Steve, don't worry, this kind of ball won't be too much. After all, it takes a lot of energy. That old guy in Gary doesn't need so much energy."
Nash nodded, thinking that what Li Xuan said was very reasonable, the depression in his heart was swept away, and he ran to the bottom line to catch the ball.
The Mavericks attacked, Nash dribbled the ball to the three-point line, and Payton immediately stepped forward to press the defense.
After being entangled by Payton, who is tall and long and has hands and feet, Lao Na can't pass the ball easily.
Seeing this, Li Xuan quickly stepped forward to respond, and received a ground pass from Nash.
If there is a chance, Li Xuan will end the attack by himself. If there is no chance, he will pass back to Nash and let him reorganize the attack.
Near the high position on the right, Li Xuan received a pass, made a three-threat move, and took a tentative step.
After upgrading from the skill [Attack Kaleidoscope], Li Xuan got a lot of offensive skills in his mind, and the three threats naturally make perfect.
Seeing this situation, Devin George fell into a dilemma, not knowing whether he should step forward to defend.
On the sidelines, Phil Jackson saw this scene and was so angry that he wanted to rush into the court and kick George.
What I said before the game, I have told you thousands of times, don't let Li Xuan vote away.
Now in this situation, just go forward and put up defenses, and it will be over.
As for Li Xuan's breakthrough, didn't he still have his teammates to defend inside!
On the field, Li Xuan saw that German George was hesitant, so he immediately retracted his tentative foot, pulled it up, and pulled it out in the middle distance.
Devin George reacted, and it was too late to rush to interfere.
The effect of the skill [Attack Kaleidoscope] was triggered, and there was no interference, so the ball hit without any suspense.
4: 2!
"Lee felt good tonight. He scored 4 points in a row. It seems that the Lakers should be careful. Lee is unstoppable in the killing mode." Barkley said with a teasing tone.
After scoring the goal, Li Xuan spread his hands to Devin George in front of him.
"A goal without defense has no soul. Please give me a little defensive pressure, otherwise it will be too easy to score."
Devin George gritted his teeth angrily, and he vowed to give this foul-mouthed guy a little physical confrontation in the next round.
